We Watched Too Many Puppet Master Movies - re:View (part 2)

[@tylerneely2262]

I was acquainted with Jeff Burr. He lived and taught filmmaking classes in my hometown, although I never took his course, I met him through mutual people. We talked about the Puppet Master franchise a few times, he was proud of his work. I had not spoken to him in a while, and found out a few days ago he passed. He loved movies and everything about them and he was a lovely soul.

[@THEBOLSHEVIK]

Thank you for returning Jack's head to its normal size.

[@ericfuchs123]

All these bald dudes. It’s an Alien^3 Re:View

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

Good idea.

[@reaganp.1654]

Series Re:View for the Sigourney movies maybe. I could see Jay and Rich with that.

[@alansmithee.01]

Jay asked his barber for the Assembly Cut.

Alien³ had great costumes for the XYY chromosome prisoners.

@@alansmithee.01 Holy shit, dude, bravo.

[@MusicFromAnotherTime]

You better discuss Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys at some point. Corey Feldman is truly a sight to behold in this masterpiece.

[@RickRando001]

Yeah, I was waiting for that. Came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned it.

[@tonimaroni2440]

oh my god, yes! its a christmas classic!

[@LivingRoomSet-799]

I won’t lie, Puppet Master 4 is definitely the Star Trek: Picard of Star Wars

Oops All Puppetmaster Part 2: Even More Strings Attached.

[@MrScrawnjuan]

Finally. Back to reviewing the series I've never seen.

[@playedout148]

Not one minute.

[@brianconnolly6326]

Would love it if you guys did an episode where you reviewed these horror film remakes: Halloween (2007), Friday the 13th (2009), and Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).

[@musics4me]

I love Jack. He shines best during one-on-ones like re:View

[@user-ow1bc4sx2r]

ye jacks great for the deep dives

[@cableroyson9992]

Yeah I think so too

[@Samael1113]

Well, the lighting isn't diffused for 3 or 4 other people at a large table desk. It's focused on Jack's head and face, in a chair. Also, rumor is he puts on a tiny bit of baby oil, before the duo showcases, to really bring it out.

[@drobinson-uo7ic]

Yeah his intelligence and insight comes across better. He's not as sexy as Rich Evans, but no other mortal is.

[@mitchdouglas9844]

Jack's getting a bit of an ego as of late, real big headed

[@doomtoken]

The Puppet Master 4 main villain looks like someone stretched their scrotum over an action figure.

[@Zionswasd]

fuckk yes

[@danielbaguley2483]

It maybe a pointless series, but watching you two hack frauds talk about it is the highlight of my Sunday. What a miserable life I have.

[@kylelewis9163]

I get called in on my day off and you post god damn it. Now I have to put in my AirPods and be useless

[@LenkyLad]

I recall Greg Sestero doing this SAME french accent recording the audiobook for the Disaster Artist whenever he was quoting Tommy Wiseau which it seemed better suited for

[@thedrewsephYT]

Here we go again… and again… and again. More Puppet Master!

[@lucca2c]

no one ever is really gone

[@aggie_boos1260]

These deep dives in horror franchises are amazing 🤩 thank you RLM!!

[@councilofkarens729]

Maybe the real puppet master was the friends we made along the way.....

[@solomonstillthebest5737]

When you talked about the foolishness of putting an angry person Into a robot body with guns I half expected a cut away to the episode of Aqua Team Hunger Force where Frylock destroys their angry neighbor from the neck down and, among other attempts at giving him a new body, he builds a robot body with guns. His (normally) idiotic roommate asks why on earth he would do that, and Frylock suddenly has the good sense to do not do that. More sense than the Old Pupper Master it seems.

[@psykomancer4420]

That last bit about the Primevils genuinely warmed my heart.

[@rchristopher9760]

did jack get his family tattoo covered with a garbage pail kid is garbage pail kids replacing jacks kids

[@AbsoluteTravisT]

Maybe because of the first video, but I went on a Full Moon kick and just recently watched Head of the Family, Blood Dolls, and The Creeps. Aside from their leisurely pace, they are fun and strange and campy, and I like the weird storylines. I'm planning on watching the Killjoy series as the later ones look goofy, but a killer demon clown made me think of Terrifier. A super low budget movie that created a huge success from the spectacular gore. When I watch Full Moon, I forget that they technically do horror movies because there's so little blood (or scares at all) and whether Charles Band has shot himself in the foot by sticking his nose up at what audiences enjoy so much.

[@moscreefus]

Stretching this to two videos is art

[@Tchernobog]

4 videos if they do the rest of the sequels.

[@williamglass2223]

Jack unlocked “Big Heads” mode in the thumbnail.

[@sstteev]

DK mode

[@RouxedFood]

With the "12 year old" comment from Jay, I could only see Martin Short as "Clifford"

[@alfredvickers4054]

I recently rewatched Clifford. I don't know what possessed me to do so.

[@BoyGeorgiaX]

Glad you guys did the Greg Sestero one.

[@Tchernobog]

Was expecting that weird dream sequence with the girlfriend with the goth lipstick enjoying herself... in a bath tub of blood with the puppets being brought up from Puppet Master 5

[@jamesonp3873]

I have a soft spot for Burr's work. Leatherface: TCM 3 has some decent moments. He also directed a film called Phatom Town that's a pretty good gateway horror that creeped me out as a kid.

[@necrophage_]

Fun fact! Sutekh in polish means nipple.

[@MoonShire]

He does have big nipples

[@zackakers9855]

Jeff Burr, the director of parts 4 and 5, was such a nice guy with a really fun filmography. R.I.P.

[@bluepenguin2993]

"Demons are coming to stop the artificial intelligence" Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@owenness6146]

Whoa! A Sssssss reference?! I haven't seen that in years and used to watch it on VHS along with Cat People, The Howling, and the Fly!!

[@ImNotGregGraffin]

So, no Joker: Folie á Deux HitB? I look forward to the end of year catch-up where Jay says he caught it on Max and it was OK

[@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley]

They didn't care that much for the first, and knowing them I guess they haven't even bothered to watch a trailer for this one.

[@ImNotGregGraffin]

@@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley Yeah, but I’m still interested in what they have to say about the new one. It blew my mind that they hated Halloween Kills but really liked Halloween Ends. I really didn’t expect that. Plus, they’re plenty to talk about with the decisions of the film, the reception and DC/Warner Bros. and all that I just think it would make an interesting video of discussion. More interesting than the film itself

[@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley]

@@ImNotGregGraffin - I agree, the discussion surrounding the film fits the whole thing they do on HitB. My bets are that Jay will possibly hatewatch it on Max eventually and Mike won't.

[@asmodiusjones9563]

@@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valleythis is true, but another thing I don’t see mentioned that much is their HitB is much less interesting when they don’t have the full movie to pull clips from and have to rely exclusively on footage from the trailer. For the past few years when everyone was released on streaming simultaneously, they’d have the full movie for most of what they talked about, even new releases. Now that productions are going back to theaters exclusively they don’t have the movie to pull clips from.

[@RileyRobertson-oi4fo]

While they're not "Good" per se, i do appreciate Jeff Burr doing everything he can to liven up 4 & 5. Really great schlock-jobber. Do wonder if his career trajectory ends up a *little* better if New Line doesnt meddle with Chainsaw Massacre 3 Edit: Also I'm kind of baffled by how bad the new "Hellboy" looks. Brian Taylor has made some good stuff, both on his own and when he was teamed with Marc Neveldine, but then Neil Marshall said the current rights holders are basically scumbags so 🤷

[@npc1386]

Too bad they didn't watch all of the puppet master movies.

[@alfredvickers4054]

The Lore is what makes Puppet Master great! You need to watch the rest of the Puppet Master movies now. You won't be disappointed by how insane they get! Also, watch Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys. Also, watch the Demonic Toys universe (which includes Demonic Toys, Bad Channels, Dollman, Dollman vs Demonic Toys which is a crossover of the first 3 movies in this list, Hideous, Demonic Toys 2 which has a character from Hideous, the Baby Oopsie trilogy, and Jack-Attack).

[@dylanlee4793]

The Morpho head broke me

[@Dantegrey1]

Next time, they should do The Howling franchise, Hellraiser og Evil Bong.

[@army103]

Watching the first one of these inspired me to watch some of the Puppet Master movies I'd skipped...and I started with Puppet Master: Legacy. When the credits started rolling, I just instinctively blurted out loud, "Well, that was a turd."

[@dogstar9455]

The perfect Sunday morning gospel.

[@blameitonthebubble5294]

Sutekh? Living puppets? Feels like Charles Band using Dr. Who for inspiration. Andre Toulon feels like the Celestial Toymaker.

[@mikeycrackson]

I think its admirable that Jack decided to go bald to match Jay's look.

[@marko112kg]

So they went from PM2 to PM4 without continuity even though there is a PM3? Genious!

[@julias1554]

I’m feeling like number 6 about this video dropping today 🎉😊

[@Top10WizardReviews]

The Jack Attack Is Back, Baby! Also, oh boy... Sutekh is just Set, the Egyptian deity who has a something like a jackal's head. They didn't even correctly adhere to the actual lore of Egyptian mythology.

Jackal's head is underselling it haha.

I always thought it was weird that the score for the first is just Pino Donaggio’s score for Tourist Trap.

[@casmiry]

You know, I gotta give credit to Full Moon Studios. They were as far as I think, the first American (for surely the first horror) production company that came to Romania after the fall of the Communist regime and invested in its economy. Source: am Romanian, I recognize a lot of the filming locations.

[@AdamGall]

Another 3 part series it seems!! Love it!

I was hoping this would show up today.

Part BOO. It was right front of y’all. 👻

[@toomuchtv6741]

The reason the scientist isn't a kid is because they couldn't afford to only shoot 8hrs a day with a child actor

[@ErikLarson-l9k]

Even though most coherent continuity was tossed, PM4 & 5 get credit for at least maintaining that Leech Woman was gone (burned in PM2). And you’re right about the soundtrack; 4 & 5 have no new music, only reused cues from the first 3 (to be fair, PM3 also reused music, but did have a few original compositions as well).

[@MartianBuddy]

Jack is back!! Yay

Jack making Puppet noises throughout the video is so meta.

Puppet Master 4 & 5. 12 year old me LOVED these movies. Probably because I was into Power Rangers and it felt like the setup for an Americanized Tokusatsu.

[@michaelleoanrd194]

Fun story: I had insomnia one night so I decided to watch Puppet Master 3 onward. After I watched 3 it tried to play PM2 next instead of 4. Then, after 4 it tried to play 2 AGAIN. It's like Peacock was trying to save me from the movies it hosted.

[@damon2184]

There actually was a comic book series that explains what happened with the asylum 😂 it does a pretty good job trying to connect all the weird inconsistencies throughout the franchise

[@rolandoftheeld]

Stretching one movie into multiple sequels to make more money? Sounds like something that only a very low-budget mostly independent production would have to do. It sure would be crazy if extremely high-profile studios with eight- and nine-digit budgets did the same thing with gigantic special effects blockbusters.

[@ToylandChairman666]

I love 4 and 5, but CURSE and RETRO are in my opinion the last good entries in this series. After this is mediocre to bad. 6 gets a lot of crap itself, but it was the first one I ever saw, so I've always had kind of a soft spot for it. I actually didn't like RETRO much at first, since it was the second one I saw, and almost the complete opposite of CURSE. But it grew on me with repeated viewings, and is a nice origin story.
