I think the "weird thing in an office" is a rollerball mouse. >.>

ah, in these horrifying times there's nothing more comforting than watching a slime

I like to imagine that the hunter awoke during the events of the other three movies, but just sort of stumbled around failing to find any of the other characters or make any impact on the plot.

Anyone else slow-clap alone, drunk, in their apartment for "jincel"?

AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD...

On one hand: There is something incredibly endearing about a ghoul trying to sincerely fulfill the wish of being loved for who he really is, and it warms my heart just a bit thinking about it, even for a terrible murder bastard genie On the other hand: jinncel

This version of the Djinn looks more like a Power Rangers villain honestly. Especially when he's fist-fighting someone in broad daylight.

For what it's worth, the "three wishes" doesn't originally come from "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp," but from "The Fisherman and the Jinni." The story of Aladdin got the "three wishes" treatment from Hollywood around 1940 in The Theif of Bagdad, which was an amalgamation of a bunch of the elements from the 1001 Nights stories, and now genies have been granting three wishes ever since and we're stuck with that trope.

This video is a Divoff

"Your mouth and hands aren't paralyzed" YES!!!

He pours the hot coffee into one cup, which we can see steaming, then reaches for the other cup to pour into his coffee. probably milk. I rewound the scene a lot back when I first watched to figure that out. Sphere thing is a trackball mouse, good where you lack for desk space.

Its a trackball. we had one in place of a mouse in our computer back in the day. Used to take it out of its housing and fiddle with it as a kid.

I love when sequels just randomly ad things to the mythology like the Hunter.

𝔄𝔰 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔴𝔦𝔰𝔥.

Flashback to my college "IT" class where we were taught about trackballs and they were like "this is a trackball. It's just another kind of mouse for people who want to feel superior to other people for no apparent reason. Please don't murder me, I'm not a witch."

Funny scene re-write idea: So instead of the weird sex death that the coworker gets, she still does the bit of candidly describing the rough sex that she wants to have, and at first you think that the djinn is going to kill her. But because she's Lisa's friend and the djinn is genuinely grateful for the advice on how to win her affection, he decides to do her a solid, conjures a dominatrix right outside her door, and casually leaves her home without twisting the wish against her. The scene ends with the dominatrix looking around confused until she and Lisa make eye contact, and then give each other a look that's somewhere between "love at first sight" and "awww yeeaah..."

"Decent sendoff" A Divoff, if you will.

This was the first Wishmaster movie I ever saw. It was on Cinemax when I was a teenager and I thought it was incredibly deep at the time.

> explains faxing > doesn't know what a trackball mouse is Kidding, kidding. Anyway good vid, 'Dread

I wish I could watch a Scaredy Cats video. And there it is !

This video owns bones. 25 Divoffs, easy.

I’m so happy Matt’s still making videos despite the pandemic! It makes me feel less lonely during quarantine 😇❤️

I fully support you continuing to focus on weird niche shit that interests you.

"A Scientific Analysis Of Wishmaster 4" ...There but for the grace of god go I, I'm in.

Djinncel verses Duster-wearing Sword-master It's like if 4Chan was *maaagic*

Living in Japan I love how you explain fax machines like they're a thing of the past.

Fun fact: Aladdin was actually made up by the french translator for Arabian Nights! So was Sinbad and Ali-Baba. Which is sad, because the OG stories that are in the translation that I read (which is more modern and based off the original 14th century manuscript) has a bit where a merchant visits a dude and each of his incredibly hot wives screw him. There's no real twist, he just gets laid. Also, there's a king who has been turned into stone and his people have been turned into fish by an evil witch, who is also his wife! And the good guy has to trick the witch into reversing the spell. Also, there was a djinn in a bottle. It was a fun book.

My son always knows when you’ve dropped some more content when he hears a “Yay!” from the living room ❤️

It's Michael Trucco! That owns. Seeing him as Anders in Battlestar Galactica was when I realized I liked guys.

We just wanted to drop in and say thank you for doing this series. Of our duo, Lies is the only one who has seen these movies. It has been really lovely to share the series with Scandal, both as it owns and does not own, without having to make them sit through all the movies. Hahaha Lies wishes you had mentioned the film expositing the confirmation that Sam was able to walk but his injuries hadn't been healed (more solid storytelling), and the four extra monster arms during the djinn sex scene (seems noteworthy...). Edit: We completely forgot to mention how excellent it was that you took a moment, when addressing the ever important question of djinn being able to do the do, to acknowledge that it need not be boiled down to standard heteronormative expectations. Nice addition. 👌🏼

I just had something called a 'grumble ...uh, bum..?' come by and tell me that the hunter was busy. I threw a like at him and he seemed to be happy with that. Love you, Matt!

It really doesn't matter what movie you take a look at; it's always a fun ride :D And I too can't get enough Divoff in my life. Stay healthy and safe in these dark times brought to us by capitalism.

The Devov and Greg edited heads--I appreciate your hard work, because I loved that, especially the sounds "yes"

I wish this series would never end. Edit: What have I done

Oh hey, the Hunter's played by Victor Webster. And I only know that 'cause I watched _Mutant X_ religiously when I was a stupid tasteless teen. I never saw _Wishmaster 4_ . I didn't even know it existed until roughly a decade ago, which was roughly a decade after I watched the first three back-to-back-to-back. After rewatching _Wishmaster 3_ , I figured _4_ was a write-off due to how abysmal its predecessor was, but now I tentatively wanna check it out. Tentatively.

I wish I had three wishes for every time I laughed inappropriately loud in public while watching this video...in public.

One little folklore quibble: The original Aladdin story in The 1,001 Nights did not specify that three wishes was the limit. That element, near as I can tell, is exclusive to the Disney adaptation of the folk tale. The original Aladdin was able to make as many wishes from both djinn (there were two, the djinn of the ring and the more powerful djinn of the lamp) as he desired, except for one time when he was convinced by the evil sorcerer (which there were ALSO two of, they were brothers) to wish for a roc's egg, which MAJORLY pissed the genie of the lamp off, and he only spared Aladdin's life because the wish wasn't his idea.

owns bones is my new favorite thing

Djinn-cel is the best thing I've ever heard on KZfaq. Thank you. You are a joy.

Perfect timing, I needed a comfy video, and your videos are always comfy!

Also Wisho 'using your charming nickname there' wasn't really into her until she made that wish though he was just fishing for wishing

I really enjoyed these reviews of all four movies, I came across these at random and the tone and casual nature of them is fantastic. Seriously, solid and fun reviews!

that "weird orb thing" in the office is called a trackball, it's a different kind of mouse that was somewhat popular in the late 90s to early 00s. I'd forgotten about them until my boss got me one to help with my mouse arm. Unlike other mice, you don't move your arm or wrist when using a trackball, just your finger.

Love this series, and love your haunted doll watch shirt!

HELL yes, you're on my wavelength with the wishmaster sequels. I feel like the sole redeeming feature of 3 is the sheer batshit wild plot twist of the protagonist summoning a goddamn archangel, and 2's upsides are obvious, but like. 4 has a really interesting setup compared to the others.

After the Divoff devotion runs its course, I really wish you’d cover E. Elias Mehirge’s “Begotten.” It really fits with the impending doom that has beset our world. Also, I thought the Hunter looked familiar, and sure enough it’s Carlos from Continuum.

I loved Wishmaster 4 … I heard some complaints about how does the djinn know what Steven knows… but he’s a reality warping demon… it’s not that much of a stretch.. I mean… maybe it was a wish that one of the other djinn granted for him… either way…. I also loved the idea of a stealthy djinn… it’s honestly horrifying to think about … and this is the only movie in the series that has the djinn being all stealthy like that.. great movie imo ..

I had always written the sequels off, which seems justified now for the most part, but because this movie scientifically owns, I guess I have to watch it now.

I'll defend Sam's two-cup coffee pouring. If you just brewed your coffee and it's too hot to drink immediately, you can cool it down more quickly by pouring it into one cup and then transferring it to another, since the cups are cooler than the coffee. Sam still sucks, but that makes some degree of sense. Fun fact: people used to pour coffee from their cups into saucers to cool them. The saucer's wide surface area helped to cool the coffee.

Wishmaster 5 should drift even harder into Romantic Comedy

Like for Djincel.

14:10 sam is so bland that he got replaced by greg midway through the movie.

5:30 that's milk dawg. he's pouring milk in from a little milk jug

the glitter lids are a look and i am LIVING

The Djin-cel joke made me laugh out loud so much

Ohhhhhhh, so *that's* why my legs were sore yesterday! Too much walking juice!

Djinncel! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA And the ending of this video! omg I'm in tears!

It took me a second, but I actually laughed loudly at "djinncel" I'm alone but I'm sure the people in the apartment below me heard me.

Peak comedy @9:38 Beautiful setup, crisp execution. 10/10

Wishmaster 1 and Wishmaster 4 are my favorites in the whole damn series, I'm so glad you love them too!

I remember watching these movies on the sci-fi channel as a preteen. Honestly, it explains a lot.

I don't think the Divoff movie is a bad decision. He seems pretty awesome at acting and honestly I'm down for basically any topic because you're hilarious. Thanks for making great videos on both your channels!

Oh hey, I've had The Rage on DVD for years, maybe I'll finally watch it

Other reviewers: "Let me exaggerate my reaction like a crazy person!" This guy: Bawls his eyes out through the entire movie, then turns straight to the camera, "The series has had some real ups and downs..."

Inserting a new and extremely important part of the mythos and then having *absoultley no explanation whatsoever* as to why it shows up or what it is or where it comes from or literally anything is an absolute Chad move.

I, for one, would happily watch Wishmaster reviews on on this channel for the rest of time. You might even say I _wish_ it.

Favourite dialogue in the movie. Hunter: "We won the war." Wisho: "You won The Battle. The War Rages on." =D

The weird object in the office I think was over gratuitous product placement. (Was probably new cool tackball when the movie was made)

This series as a whole does not deserve you, but Divoff was worth it.

Holy fuck. Filmed in Winnipeg? Dude, I *really* felt something familiar in that amazing Djinn/Bouncer fight scene. Like, deep in my bones. Soon as you said the filming location, I knew that was the iconic back alley behind The Pal/Whiskey Dix Nightclub in the Exchange District. Instantly. It's not just the world's sketchiest smoking section, it's also a city landmark, and home of a continuously rebuilding human birds nest of used Heroin needles. It rules. I worked in the district doing cleanup, and would go to that exact alley every day for graffiti & garbage removal. The scene where the Djinn yeets the bouncer into the dumpster?? It invaded my mind zone, because I'd gone to that exact place and done that same action for 2 full years of my life. I have killed 730 bouncers. All of them were wearing a flame shirt, also.

I love that the bouncer is the vampire Julius from the Netflix Sci Fi show Van Helsing. He's a good character and I like that he gets work :) reminds me of the actors from the show Sanctuary, who would constantly show up in every Canadian sci fi TV series

Can confirm. I'm from Winnipeg and its full of Jinn.

When he said used your month and tongue that got me

• 6:32 - It's a trackball. Obviously the director had never seen one before and thought it was neato and wanted to focus on it out of his own amazement/amusement as opposed to for any narrative reasons. • 16:53 - And the hunter was Canadian Victor Webster of _Mutant X_ and the bouncer was Canadian Aleks Paunovic of _Van Helsing._ From _Wishmaster 3,_ A.J. Cook was in _Final Destination 2_ and Canadian Emmanuelle Vaugier in _Saw 2._ • 16:59 - Google's brilliant A.I. auto-captions read Corner Gas as "kroner gas". 🤦

I watched Wishmaster last night because I watched your video (I guess I -am- succeptible to suggestion?) Anyway that thing is a goddamned masterpiece. Please remind yourself every day that you've improved people's lives with your good works.

I'm still waiting for the review of Alpha's Magical Christmas

I probably wouldn’t enjoy a single one of these films but I loved your thoughts on them so so much

A lot of males with spinal cord injuries can, in fact, 'get up' because there is a different neurological system involved.

Not Canadian, but a super fan of Corner Gas and all things Karen and Davis.

Matt.... How could you make me ship a tragic ship? Damn it.... The Djinncel joke was aces, but now I'm sad.

This is by far one of the moat entertaining channels on the internet. Thank you!

There's something funny about telling the kids what a fax machine is but not recognizing a trackball :)

I lost it on, "What those horns do?"

very pleased about the hunter.

I'm endlessly amused by the fact that slimy cat has no idea what a trackball is

as a monsterfucker I am very disappointed the djinn and main character didn’t end up together and decided to tell the other djinns to fuck off. how cool it would be to have a djinn boyfriend tho?

I hope you continue these videos, I really enjoy them : )

8:36 and forward to like 8:58 or so. What happened here? I keep rewatching and don’t know what happened with the edit.

This eye gloss moment was cute.

I wish they'd make a Wishmaster 5.

I liked them all for what they are. The original stuck with me as I saw it when I was young, but Divoff is such a gifted actor, but I genuinely liked all of them for the simple fact that he made the Jinn very Kruger. Funny an a smartass, but at the same time, gory, intimidating, and with incredible presence. Dudes a horror icon from where I’m stood. Furthermore, the question of the coworker is dead nuts right, an any man who’s ever spoken to a female, there is no safe answer. That is a trap. Plain and simple. Ambush. Do not answer.

I don't know why you'd think that we don't want more wishmaster content. I'd be happy for this to become wishycats, an exclusively wishmaster themed channel.

Now that was a pleasant surprise

Well since Sam couldn't lift the sword, and that limitation remains regardless of who is welding it, when the authorities remove the murder weapon the fact nobody can lift the thing would definitely help her legal defense that she didn't murder him. Also her fingerprints wouldn't be on the handle would also be a solid defense, regardless of how suspicious the circumstances of his death are with the whole millions of dollars awarding thing, which would be understandably extremely suspicious.

The thing at 6:38 that they're focusing on for a long time for no reason is a trackball, which may look like a historical contraption but which, like Ahura Mazda, is still celebrated by people even unto this day, including myself! People use 'em instead of mouses because they don't give you carpal tunnel syndrome as bad. Also, it kind of feels like you're playing Tron or Centipede.

Not gonna lie, djinncel got a laugh out of me.

i've loved these videos! and i can't wait to see what you have to say about the invisible man!

Right on, this was filmed in my city too! I can't help but recognize Winnipeg.

Another spot-on review! This one is SO much better than #3.

That weird ball in the office is a mouse for the computer. You roll the ball around and the mouse follows, I don't know why you can just take it away like that.
