"Rocky" (1976) - 50th Anniversary

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2026/02/05

I just decided to cover the one that started it all and really in retrospect delivers well enough on the final product that it's not surprising it inspired such a huge collection of sequels and spin-offs.tG9jeqoAHRuHLmvfw701

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2026/01/29

I finally cover the theatrically released animated movie set in the Batman: The Animated Series universe! I'm doing so after a lot of requests over the years from an overly enthusiastic fan of the show! (Me, the enthusiastic fan is me)

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2025/12/18

I talk about the Rankin/Bass special that is significantly less special than the first 2 I already covered ("Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town") but it does have some redeeming qualities. I guess.

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2025/09/18

"The Prestige" (2006)

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2025/09/11

I cover the best of 3 2006 movies about magicians. This one is a roller coaster of time jumps and it was super tough to explain everything.

"SPEED" (1994)

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2025/02/04

For some reason I've really been hammering it home with these 90s movies lately, it's just so fun to revisit movies I haven't seen in so long. This one is intense, Keanu is excellent in his second big-budget action flick after "Point Break". Well worth going back to.

2025/01/21

2024/12/03

This time around I review a movie that was the brain-child of Mr. Dark Visuals himself, Tim Burton. It’s a musical, it’s claymation, it’s less than 80 minutes long, and it is certainly different.This video contains A.I.-Generated Video and Audio. All written content is human-made.

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" THE COMPLETE 1964 RECAP

Brandon at Random Reviews ·

2024/12/01

Using AI, I converted and re-edited this old audio episode to the video fomat. The AI service I used flagged it because of aggressive adult language because this 47-minute children's claymation TV movie brings out the best in me. This video contains A.I.-Generated Video and Audio. All written content is human-made.
