BMMI Guest Ep 02: Twins of the Decade (with Special Guest David Hoh!)

Leave a comment

TwinsoftheDecade_poster

They’re ten years apart in age, but identical twins: Jamie Bell and Tom Holland are Twins of the Decade! This week’s movie harkens back to the days of pseudo-science, heart-warming comedies such as Twins, Junior, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. These two brothers are vying for the same role in the Detective Pikachu movie starring Dad (Danny DeVito), and it’ll take a great escape from Disneyland and a hearty Thanksgiving family dinner for them to sort out the complex emotions that come with one twin being stuck in the womb for ten years and popping out perfect.

This poster was designed by special guest David Hoh himself! If this poster tells you anything, it’s that this film is the next in line as a charming family Disney classic, and Jamie Bell just hates mascots so much.

BMMI Episode 026: The Pigs

Does anyone remember the Stephen King autobiography? You know, the one with the evil pigs who whisper scary stories into his sleeping ears and explains his unexplainable fear of fireworks on the 4th of July. Well maybe it’s not a book but we definitely made it into a movie. This week’s poster is doing it’s very best to emulate a classic Stephen King dust jacket much in the vein of Misery or Pet Sematary.

BMMI Episode 025: Bird’s Eye View

Leave a comment

Road trips are about finding yourself. Communing with nature lets you realize your full potential as a human on this green Earth. Or these may all be ploys of a trickster demon to hitchhike your possessed body to a certain destination, say a place of brimstone and hellfire. The first half of Bird’s Eye View is a legitimately uplifting, inspirational road trip movie about a woman finding herself after her husband just ups and disappears. The second half is the slow creep of realization behind why her husband is missing, and why it’s too late for her to find him. And it starts with a human face, and an owl’s body. If you like Into the Wild and Drag Me to Hell, this will do ya.

fistsoffelt_posterWhat is man? What is Fuppet™? These are the hard hitting questions we address in this week’s episode of Big Money Movie Ideas. McDermott the Toad, a Fuppet™ that is charged with identifying between man and Fuppet™ finds out the much darker secrets behind his very existence. Is that a finger in your stuffing or is there stuffing in your finger? This poster is a cross between Eastern Promises and Bloodsport draped in felt and drenched in blood.

BMMI Guest Ep 01: Daves of Our Lives (with Special Guest Joe!)

I think this poster speaks for itself.

Early Edition meets Groundhog Day in something that resembles Multiplicity because there’s a bunch of Michael Keatons. In the episode, Kelsey mentions the Omphalos Hypothesis by the name of pro-chronos: it’s an unprovable pseudoscientific mess of an idea that says we have no way of knowing if the universe actually started five seconds ago, started by some guy that really wanted an answer to “Which came first: the chicken or the egg?”

Oh yeah, and we had a guest star! Joe!

BMMI Episode 023: Scooby Doo Who Are You?

Zoinks! Jinkies! Ruh Roh! What else you got. It’s a Scooby Doo movie. A hard R rating for revenge, skin peeling, slow motion bullets flying through skulls, and one guilty pup that would just as soon nibble a crime scene corpse as chow down a giant comical sandwich. He’s a dog, Fred. He can’t help it sometimes. This movie is about defining yourself for yourself, when the world denies you dignity, agency, and identity. This is the new Scooby Doo movie. Ruh roh, indeed, my friend.

BMMI Episode 021: Rumors of a Storm

Leave a comment

This week’s poster is simple so the film can speak for itself. A rich tapestry of ideas coalesce into a poetic paradigm shift of cinema.  Each scene in Rumors of a Storm plays simultaneously on screen. Characters can appear multiple times at once as well as walk through characters of another scene. Starting with a murder scene, suspense builds as we see the murderer prepare for another kill in the same room as friends investigating the body. From the first moment a quiet contemplation to the thrilling finale of a hundred separate scenes happening all at once. Sound confusing or boring? Sorry, it’s art. #GAMECHANGER

BMMI Episode 020: Bigfoot vs the Planet of the Apes: The Downfall of the Rise of the Planet of the Apes

BigfootvsTheplanetoftheapes_poster

An ancestor from the past? Or a traveler from the future? These have always been the unanswerable questions surrounding Bigfoot, until now. On our podcast Big Money Movie Ideas we unflinchingly tackle the hard hitting questions of life, and this may be the most important question of all: In a fight for humanity against an entire planet of apes, can we rely on Bigfoot to save the day? (Hint: He’s a cross between Rambo, the Terminator, Blade, and Schindler’s List Liam Neeson, which pretty much says it all).

This week’s poster is a ode to low-budget high-concept action schlock. And man, have we got one of those.

BMMI Episode 019: Jet Li’s Eat Prey Love

Leave a comment

This poster oozes romance like a liver oozes vitamin-rich blood. We take a sympathetic look at cannibals for this week’s film. Jet Li stars as a solo traveler looking to find himself on a spiritual journey around the world. And indeed, he finds himself–another Jet Li, living another life in another city. And there are more of him in more cities. How is this a romance? Sometimes you need to eat ten versions of you to realize that what you were looking for was at home all along. And sometimes, eating ten versions of you gives you the strength, mindpower, and emotions of ten Jet Li’s, which technically just makes you a better you. Cannibalism! Oh, and we also talk about kuru without saying it by name, and prion-related diseases.
