"I upgraded it to the Blu-Ray" is a funny way of saying "I found the Blu-Ray in a bargin bin for a pound"

Film Brain looks suspiciously like a box in wrapping paper.

Classic British wrapping, an old Christmas bag that doesn’t look too Christmasy so can be used for other occasions and tapped at the top 👌 perfect.

All British KZfaqrs know each other. That's a fact.

A 41 minute video with 2 British men talking about movies I never seen. Fantastic.

If KZfaq ever goes kaput, I feel Ashens could make great money as an appraiser. He comes round and you show him your stuff - he wouldn’t give you a price or a quote or anything like that, just lots of quips and smart-Alec remarks for every item you give him.

On the Guardians of the Tomb dvd, there are 3 Ns in winner.

"Hang on, I've got an Argos alien to hand" - Very few people could say that, Ashens you are unique.

Fun fact about Fisher Stevens' portrayal of Ben in the Short Circuit movies: apparently, Indian viewers found his portrayal rather fun and accurate, to the point where they mistook a famous Bollywood actor as being him, and the actor had to go on record to say he wasn't playing the part.

I dunno if this is intentional, but for a lonely person like me, these videos when you and some cool other creator friend sit down and do this are like, quite comforting lol. There's surely some personal memory stuff going into it from me specifically, but I just like being able to get a bit of that feeling of being with people just spending time doing something small and having fun. That probably all sounds very depressing.

More Matthew Buck collaborations please. Seems a decent bloke with an encyclopaedic knowledge of movies. Ashens thanks you are most enjoyable as ever. Projector and Bad Movie Beatdown are super shows.

"A Rape Story" Ya that will look good on supermarket shelves STARING NICK CAGE!

"I was laughing so hard it set the rest of the audiance off laughing" That happened with me at a showing of 30 Days of Night. I dunno who started it but the audiance got more chuckle-y as the night went on.

Holy hell, the memories that name brings back. I watched Matthew all the way back when I was in high school in like, 2010 (ish?). It's good to hear him again, I might just have to go and see what he's done recently. Great video Ashens, thanks for the quality content.

Ashens and film brain would make such a good podcast together

If you’re looking for a great Nic Cage movie, watch ‘Mandy’ from last year. It balances ethereally beautiful visuals and music, and Nic Cage acting on peak Cage Rage. There is a scene that lasts a full two or three minutes of his character in a long-sleeve shirt and tighty-whities screaming at the top of his lungs and pounding down a great big bottle of vodka.

Sellotape and Broken Dreams sounds like the name of a progressive rock band who has a song called 'Joy of Trains'

“...Weinstein Company...”

I watched Hitman in the theater with my brothers. We were the only ones there so we had a live action MST3K!

Inject these random dvds into my veins

"My name is Buck and I like to watch movies!" - a Kill Bill quote, kind of.

Strange to hear Film Brain recorded this way. Gives his voice an entirely different quality.

Seriously, film brain could sell me a turtles tale. He makes every film sound awesome.

Matthew Buck..... I haven't heard that name in years

The “skip woods” joke was gold!

All I have to say about Hitman: Agent 47 is I know for a fact I have seen it but legitimately cannot remember anything from it.

We watched Memento in my Psych 101 class. It was fantastic and one of the best parts of that class.

26:50 I love that they spoofed the cover pose of The Breakfast Club for the cover of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, just great 😂

Video suggestion, wish fake watches, some are just so ridiculous you need to see them to believe them

I love the brits. They've been hanging out for hours but they still do the 'how are you?' 'fine, thank you, how are you' routine when they start filming.

This just sounds like Stuart in a video with a slightly more timid Stuart

This takes me back. I haven't seen Film Brain in awhile. Still sounds like a nice guy. Last I saw him he was going bald pretty badly, I hope he found a nice hat.

Now that they’ve talked about Police Story I kind of want Ashens and Film Brain to just do an entire video on Jackie Chan movies together

The situation with the cover for Vengance reminds me of how the North American DVD cover for Moon Child (a Japanese post apocalyptic vampire movie that had Gackt in it) had almost absolutely nothing to do with the actual movie. That cover made the movie seem like a John Woo-style gun-fu vampire horror action flick when the movie itself was actually not.

My first DVD was Princess Mononoke... The Miramax release. I watched it many times. Then I got a monster movie trailer compilation and Fritz Lang's Metropolis... And for almost a year, those three were all I had to watch.

There's another Guardians of the Tomb cover where the font is taken from Tomb Raider.

One of my favourite Ashens content📀📀📀. I can watch hours and hours to your dvd videos mate. You're the best 😘😘😘

To know this channel is still going makes me smile, because this is one of my favorite channels.

Oh my god I remember watching Hollow Man in science class despite not all of us being old enough to watch it. To this day I still have no idea what it had to do with the class let alone what I was meant to learn from it.

He has Amnesia in Momento - which is the real amnesia. You can remember up until the point you developed the condition.

I had both 'The Killer' and 'Enter the Dragon' in that Hong Kong Legends packaging. The transfers are better than what you might expect for a cheapo line of older films.

My mother and her friends had a laughing fit during the original Doctor Zhivago movie in the 1960s. They still have no idea why.

Considering that two of Kelsey Grammer's well known roles are Sideshow Bob and the Prospector, I'd be surprised if he *wasn't* secretly the villain

The Sting and The Blues Brothers was the only movies here that i actually have seen. They're really good.

Weird Science is the awesommest of the awesome nostalgia trips! Ashen ... notice all the cool "retro tech" placed all around this movie! It's amazing! :-D

My first DVD was Dark City and I played it on my first PC DVD Drive with a Creative DXR2 DVD decoder card. Ah, memories....

"...ridiculous Nicolas Cage is best Nicolas Cage." He's so ridiculous I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his name to Ridicolas Cage.

I enjoyed Hitman... It may not agree very well with the game canon (which is not conflictless as well) but the movie seemed ok as a standalone picture.

For a time, that first-run Blues Brothers DVD was the ONLY version of it. At some point it was like $50 on ebay because it was out of print. Eventually the madness was ended when a proper special edition DVD was made, and now the original DVD is worthless. Supply and demand!

Surely with the popularity of this format of your videos it should get it's own intro :p

Can't believe you got Stephen Merchant!

Hollow Man really isn't that bad, hasn't aged well but it's a cool modern take on the Invisible Man

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Sixteen Candles was bad, I absolutely adore that film.

I was about to take a post-work nap! Guess that’s not happening...

film brain quote i have not seen it but i upgraded it to blu ray

I want my life to be as eventful as Nicholas Cage's driving.

Film Brain is still alive? Make him yell "SYMBOLISM!"

“Oof” - Ashens

Rob Schneider makes everyone cry

I remember seeing 'The Box' as like, a 14 year old, on a school camping trip, when they decided to take all the good kids to the cinema and this was the only thing they were showing or something. Everybody left confused.

Well this is an unexpected crossover. But awesome nonetheless!

You need to watch the end of Weird Science to see if it's got the Rocky theme before the credits. I'm betting it doesn't being that old of a copy though. They just recently put it back in.

Ah good, nice to see Film Brain doing collaboration work again. Thought he'd be out on the street begging with all the other Channel Awesome regulars. :)

glad to see Film Brain in this and since, he podcast Ashens! Yes, i've seen his projector reviews of the worst Ice Age film: Collision Course, the ambitious Finding Dory and the amazing Paddington 2. Blimey, i can't wait to see what other movie he has seen this year.

Some good stuff in there.

Blues Brothers 2000 was a film that shouldn't have been made. Or at the very least, shouldn't have been made the way it was. (there didn't need to be a voodoo priestess in it, at the very least) Has that movie come up on the Sequelisers podcast already, or was that a bridge too far?

Always love your vids Ashens ♡

I love these film review videos so much 🙏🙏🙏 Also I see that packaging version of Memento in charity shops all the time. It’s surprising because I thought it was like a special edition.

Too harsh on The Parole Officer. Thoroughly enjoyable.

10:22 Golden Globe® *winnner* Kelsey Grammer .... 3N's? lol

I can't for the life of me remember what my first DVD was as I went on a bit of a mad DVD buying spree, but I do remember what shop it would have been bought in. I was working for Pizza Hut in West Wickham, and just picked up my preordered PS2 from Bromley on the way into work. Just down the end of the row of shops where PH was situated was a video rental store (remember when those were a thing? ha ha) that also sold films. Can't remember all of the DVD's I bought at that time, but one that does stand out from that batch would be Idle Hands. I still own that DVD, but now I have a multi region blu ray player, maybe I will finally be able to upgrade.

In Hollow Man 2 they reused some of the CGI shots from the first film. Random fact for you all.

Love the "Justice" reference Ashens. We need The Day Today back. Imagine what Chris Morris could do with Brexit.

Film Brain sounds like the british version of MatPat

Regarding really bad Jean Claude Van Damne movies. He was in a British movie some years ago called UFO. Not only was it terrible but it was filmed up here in Derby of all places. At the time of filming Mr Van Damne had been spotted twice frequenting a local Pound land with his daughter who was also in the movie.

No one should ever put Schneider on the spine!!

A new 40 minute long Ashens video? Jesus, you don't need to return, we just got ourselves the Second Coming

Omg i love film brain and ashens, great videos

What a charmer awesome personality crossing over with Ashens

The first Hitman movie was okay. It wasn't what the fanbase was hoping for, but it was an entirely decent movie in it's own right imo. The latest movie was crap. It's not unwatchable, but it made me appreciate the first movie so much more.

OK, I see "Film Brain" in the title and I couldn't click this fast enough! PLEASE let there be a crapton of bad Steven Segal movies in this video Edit: All that and no Segal XD Still a good selection of movies both good and crap :P

I remember back in 2013 or so my mom found the Blu-Ray copy of The Blues Brothers in a bargain bin. A while later on a Friday or a Saturday night we were watching the film while eating dinner. At that time that my first time seeing it and towards the end with the big huge police chase scene made me laugh so hard. Also I still remember my first ever video I owned on DVD was Spy Kids 1. At that time when I got it I barely had a DVD player. Cause I had the original Phat PS2 and I had it for about a year or so. But when I got the DVD as a gift my parents didn't know how the PS2 would play the DVD.

I love the hitman film with Timothy elephant. Major guilty pleasure.

The sting movie looked interesting. Im going to check it out. Ive never heard of it, but i like both the actors. Thanks ashens!

Screw Avengers: Endgame or Isekai Quartet... *THIS* is the most ambitious crossover of the century!

Finally, an unboxing without a funko pop.

4:17 and sonic movie star Ben Schwartz 13:27 also sonic star James Marsden 👏

Nice set of films,Ashens. Some I havent seen. But, hey will probably pop up on tv at some point.

11:56 Ah Stand Up Guys. I watched that movie yesterday because I usually watch any movie that Al Pacino has played a role in, (he's my favorite) and I actually really enjoyed it. It is a little mediocre I understand why, but I didn't think it was as bad as the critics say.

Blue Iguana looks like a bit of a hybrid between Scott Pilgrim VS. The World and Baby Driver.

I've the exact same version of blues brothers, bought it after wearing out 2 vhs versions lol

"Visual Knob Gags" *PHRASING, STUART!!*

Oh awesome, Film Brain

My favorite KZfaq collab!

I could literally watch stuart talk about DVDs for hours

glad it's not just me who always say's justice like that!

"Stand up Guys" is really entertaining...at least for me

That was one good thing after another (mostly through your recommandations and some actors like weird Nick C. and Sam Rockwell), especially with the british focus on movies at the start. Greetings from germany!

I fell asleep watching Memento and my memory of the film disappeared

Hey, Film Brain! Awesome!
