Summary

Mandy is a film by Panos Cosmatos starring Nick Cage. It is both a slow burn, 70’s style horror film dipped in acid, and a gonzo Nick Cage action film. It continually suffers from being torn in these two very different directions. A.Ron dug it, Jim wants nothing to do with it. This film boasts near universal acclaim on Rotten Tomatoes and yet is a tough one to wholeheartedly recommend.

0:00.0	Hey everybody we're back for another first round bald movie
0:03.8	uh... Jim and i tonight went to see an early screening of the new Nick Cage
0:09.5	horror film uh... mandy i mean film Mandy, I mean, yeah, let's get right to it. What do you think? Yeah, why not? I thought this movie was awful. Really? Absolutely awful, yeah. Wow, okay. All right. I wasn't expecting that. I think this is a movie that only a film critic could love.
0:30.0	Uh, well, what were you expecting? love.
0:33.0	Uh, well, what were you expecting?
0:35.0	I was expecting something much, uh, crazier and faster paced, I guess.
0:42.0	The trailer, in my opinion opinion is a total lie. The trailer of this movie does not tell you does not prepare you for this movie at all.
0:51.0	Well I guess honestly I when you told me about a week ago that it was like a more of an
0:56.2	art house, Nick Cage film, that like reset my expectations.
1:00.1	So I found, I found the movie visual style very absorbing and interesting to watch and then when you get to the
1:09.1	midway point they essentially unleash Nick Cage for him to do a bunch of crazy Nick Cage shit.
1:16.1	The, and then the one thing I agree with is I felt like the third arc was a bit perfunctory and not as like
1:25.2	gonzo as I as I thought but there is still a lot of like grim laughs be had and like I said the you know film film it's it's an experience like I was

1:42.1	going to say like you're a particular I mean I was
1:47.1	going to say you're a particular type of person to go see this movie but then I
1:51.0	saw that it's got like almost universal praise on rotten tomatoes including some
1:55.5	top critics that I that I respect.
1:58.6	And the slides are like, okay, well yeah, if you like Nick Cage and you like horror films,
2:04.0	especially if you like like a weird 70s, trippy style horror films,
2:08.0	then you go see this movie and now you're hating it and I'm like back to like I don't know I I I watched the trailer and I thought
