Finally! Akaash Singh comes out with a fantastic half-hour special that perfectly complements his “Flagrant 2” podcast (which I also highly recommend) counterpart Andrew Schulz’s exceptional “Schulz Saves America.” So get ready to be just the right amount of uncomfortable while you confront some of the timeliest material in the game today. This crew doesn’t miss!

They can truly do this forever. It will live on forever.
Get ready to see a lot of naked men and wince in pain for the entire runtime. An amazing hour and a half in the theater with the guys, enjoying the finest of juvenile humor this side of “Beavis & Butthead.” Turn your brain off and watch the hilarity ensue.

Let the meteor hit me too!
I think they were aiming for the deadpan humor of “Portlandia,” but for me, it was a little too heavy on the dead, with a side of hit me in the head with a pan. A couple of heavy exhale chuckles, but nothing as funny as I was expecting, unfortunately.

This would have been a great one to see at the drive-in. B-Horror movie perfection.
Regardless of whether or not you connect with the numerous nods to the classics in this one, even the casual viewer will find enjoyment in this tight hour and a half run time. It’s just meta enough to pique one’s interest and sufficiently serious without taking itself too seriously. It threads the needle perfectly to leave you thoroughly entertained. It’s definitely one of my better finds in the depths of Amazon Prime lately. I’d put it alongside “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse,” genre-wise. Definitely out there but pulls it off nicely.

Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd make this movie.
Did they carbon copy the story from parts one and two? Yeah… kinda. Did it work like a charm because they changed it just enough to make it interesting? Also yes. This was an incredibly fun and well-done film. It had the nerdy factor that made the first two seem genuine instead of cheesy, the character depth to make it interesting, and the perfect callbacks to pay homage to the originals, including some really well-done cameos by the original busters. This one doesn’t go overboard or overcorrect like “Answer the Call” did once upon a time. Turns out that not EVERYONE on screen has to play the comic relief. You can be silly and fun without losing the plot. Bravo to the team on this one. It is deserving of the canon.
