• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) is AN ENTERTAINING MESS | Re-Review | Epictastic Joshua
    Jan 13 2026

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the sequel to the 2007 hit and for 14 years, it's been regarded as one of the worst movies/sequels ever, however, for me, while this is a movie that's had a tumultuous production, I still find some enjoyment in it, despite a ton of issues.

  • A Breed Apart is NOT DUMB FUN! | Movie Review/Rant | Grace Caroline Currey | Epictastic Joshua
    Jan 4 2026

    A Breed Apart had the chance to be a stupid but fun “so bad it’s good” B-movie with an interesting crazy premise. The biggest downfall is that it’s not only not fun or stupid or campy, it is a very miserable, boring and dull experience. Here’s a complete RANT review of A Breed Apart.


    In this video, we cover why the film doesn’t work for me, the few positives I can give (GCC’s performance, some decent performances, a few campy fun moments) but pretty much why the writing, filmmaking, characters and overall story and experience failed.

    Violet accepts an invitation to a private island with some of the world's most famous social media influencers. However, she soon becomes part of her own horrific reality show when the guests find themselves in a fight for their lives against the island's legendary man-eating dogs.
