Howdy Beans! I'm back and today im looking into Kingdom of heaven from 2005! A movie that in my opinion really does deserves the title of a "Swords and Sandals movie" that deals with the crusades a really interesting time in human history. And in this episode I look into this movie and the directors cut is it truly the best way to watch the movie or is it just a longer version that provides nothing much more? We will see.

Howdy Beans! I'm back and today im looking into Looney Tunes : Back in Action from (2003) A movie that I feel is an underrated gem and just goes to show that when you properly invest in making sure that your characters are authentically themselves from cartoon to screen you get a fun comedic movie that never fails to make me laugh. So, sit back and enjoy as I talk about why I feel this movie is an hidden gem and why you should support more Looney Tunes projects like the recent Coyote Vs Acme!

Howdy Beans! I'm back and today im looking into Alien Autopsy from (2006) A movie that didn't do very well when it first came out but always stuck with me, for the idea and conspiracy theory of it. That this is based off of a true story that there was a film of an alien autopsy that these guys saw and remade. I just find that fascinating and with all the things coming out recently about aliens and roswell and alien bodies I am inclined to believe this is all real, But we will see.
