"How do you know she is a witch?" "Well, she mind-controlled my Wookiee and turned into a spooky smoke demon."

Going from Orlando Bloom, the least expressive actor to Nicolas Cage, the MOST expressive actor? The war arc is giving me acting whiplash!

"who knows what could have happened when this came out" LOL so prophetic ... :D

I never tire of Jacob's "What'd you bring me?"

I love how, in real life Hollywood lore, Ron Perlman is canonically ugly. He grew up being told in no uncertain terms that he's ugly as shit. And yet, the only reaction people have to seeing his face on screen is, "Fuck yeah, there he is. There's the fucking man." What an absolute legend. 🗿

"No Orlando Bloom? Yeah I'll miss this one" Carl probably.

I love this movie so much, I watch it at least once a year and it never gets boring. It's fun, it's corny, it has medieval stuff, it has witches, demons, magic nonsense and most importantly... It has Nicolas Cage. What more could you ask for? The fact that it's so serious, dramatic and funny at the same time tickles me in just the right spot and makes me feel special. I'm not sure if the creators intended it to be the way it is but I wouldn't want it any other way. If you're reading this, may Nicolas Cage smile upon your soul.

Nicolas Cage is the best at being Nicolas Cage and he knows it, that's why he's the best Nicolas Cage of all time. Thank you, Nicolas Cage, for being yourself.

Season of the Witch has one of my favorite lines because Nicolas Cage tells the heads of the church, very seriously, "I serve the Church no more." (19:50) Then they get thrown in prison (because obviously) and then Ron Perlman says, "I sErVe ThE cHuRcH nO mOrE" very mockingly (21:12 but they talk over the line so you can't hear it) and I legit can't tell if he's in-character mocking Nicolas Cage's character's statement that got them thrown in prison, or if he's Ron Perlman the actor mocking Nicolas Cage the actor's overly dramatic line delivery.

Looking forward to this but can’t wait for the Efap Acolyte finale.

I loved the part when everyone is shocked by the mostly decent fight choreography in the Perlman duel.

The War Arc movies remind me why there aren't that many movies like this.

The 13th Warrior, cmon guys :P you gotta!

18:15 So happy to see Fringi in this episode

I wonder if Shad is going to discuss the historical accuracy of demons... From what I know they were rather popular at the time.

Pretty sure this movie was near the start of Nicholas Cage taking on every role he could because of his financial issues.

“Who knows what will have happened when this finally comes out.” 😂😂😂😂

This movie cost about two and a half Godzilla: Minus Ones.

“Execute EFAP Movies 66”

The weirdest thing about this movie is that Nicolas Cage's character doesn't really feel like Nicolas Cage... And I'm not sure what to think about that.

The return of shad screaming with the microphone in his mouth.

Just one line from the priest explaining that demons need be exorcised or have their host's body killed in order to leave the possessed body would serve to improve the plot a little bit. This would be a neat bit of worldbuilding because it would suggest there is some downsides for a demon to possess a body; they can't just come and go willy nilly. It would explain why it doesn't just fly to the church itself from the start.

As usual, Goger displaying mad editing skills. Well done sir

Not the witch bees! Not the witch bees!

Nicholas Cage should be the next Black Panther.

Anything with BOTH Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman in it must be a gem for ages.

Very on point social commentary at the start of this EFAP.

“You’re an expert on Wolf! How do you defend against him?!” “Pizza! And Y-Wings!” XD

The edits in this one are above and beyond, nice work.

Is the EFAP crew ever going to finish batwoman? You can't just abandon such a die hard fandom.

This movie is the equivalent of all those 19.99 "Soulslike" games! Love it lol🤣🤣

Damn. This movie was surprisingly, even shockingly, enjoyable. I was expecting absolute schlock, but it actually accounted for quite a few questions I had and gave us decent characters and a mostly satisfying ending. Nicolas Cage, man. You never know what you're going to get with him.

Bruh Nicolas Cage has literally been in every genre

Nicolas Cage is one of my all time favorite actors. He is great in any movie, even the really bad ones.

One of the best ending "whatcha bring me?!?"s as of yet, in my opinion

Nick cage has two acting styles. 1. Oscar Winner 2. Fuck it, nobody is gonna see this anyway

When i cant decide on a movie to watch, I always go back to Season of the Witch or The 13th Warrior. Love this movie.

So... when they talk about The Book of Solomon, are they talking about Songs of Solomon from The Bible, Wisdom of Solomon from The Septuagint, or The Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon from the 1700s?

My favorite installment in the Halloween Series. Wait a minute…:

This and Soloman Kane are the perfect double-bill of quite entertaining ye olde times witchy cheese.

Winter 2023? Were feeling optimistic there weren't you Mister Long?

Wasnt expecting this movie, but I know for certain, Shad is gonna have a field day on the armor.

I do wonder if The Critical Drinker still thinks that Ron is a good guy...

7:49 That's... really the last thing I was expecting to see here. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Ah yes Drinker I do enyoj my internet inside my nuclear shelter after the apocalypse.

Never seen this movie before, but I am glad to see it for the first time with y’all

Shad rocked this episode of EFAP.

If they ever did a Nicolas Cage arc for EFAP Movies, then these are the 15 films they should check out: Moonstruck Vampire’s Kiss The Rock Face/Off Con Air 8mm Gone In 60 Days Snake Eyes The Wicker Man “remake” Lord Of War Drive Angry Ghost Rider Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance Pig Renfield

"Winter of 2023" LOL.

I was hoping Shad would dive into how canonical the Blessings of Nurgle appeared to be, so that we could better understand what Grandfather has to offer us mortals.

The batwamen ending was 👌 chefs kiss

the outro was perfection. worth the wait.

Beware... Solomon Kane is coming

“She’s got the palsy!” Totally was not expecting that 🤣🤣🤣

How is Shad STILL eating the mic this many recordings later? Did you people not notice it?

This film is giving me Little Hope vibes

I'm with Shad, I would have bet money that this was released directly to Redbox

I assume this was recorded before the "Acolyte", hence lack of lesbian-witch jokes?

Described the movie to DH as Nick Cage playing Fabio in the crusades. Love the war arc, love the team, love Shad completely freaking out.

Dragon Blade. It stars Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and Adrien Brody...It's the greatest epic of all time. You all must watch it, especially Shad.🤣

I saw this in theatres and had fun with it. The fire hug is goals I think.

I can definitely say this movie surprised me. Not always positively, but sometimes! I was rolling my eyes at the crusades just being fun banter time right at the start, but then, actually having it be that Sir Nic and Sir Ron have a crisis of faith? Definitely wasn't expecting the movie to bother with something like that. OR, even more surprising to me was the death of the unscrupulous guide actually causing a moral outrage from Nic. I think in most any other movie like this, the guide would've just been written off as the ass that doesn't deserve a second thought once he's ripped apart, and it'd be as simple as "he suggested they kill the girl so he's the bad guy". But this script actually has our protagonist upset at the death, because the guide was only in the perilous situation because of the knights! And the guide just wanted to live, so of course he suggested they kill the obviously manipulative "witch". Definitely still not what I'd call a "smart" story. Prime example to me is, the explanation for the demon killing who it kills. It's bizarre. They try to address the whole "it could've escaped at any time" thing, by saying "well it killed the captain guy because he wanted to free it, and it killed the guide because he wanted to kill it", and this leads them to conclude that "aha! It *wanted* to be brought to Severac all along!" ... but, it could've just gone there all by itself. Like before it was even imprisoned by the cardinal... And it also didn't take the book from the priest when it first melts out of the carriage. Even though we soon learn it explicitly wants the book. I don't know, did the little bit of holy water really deter it so much as to full-retreat for the final showdown?

Sweet Summer Children, thinking this would be out by 2023.

shad not missing a single line to talk over nice DDD

I have actually seen this movie when it came out. I was like "WTF did i just watch?" when it was over

Gotta do 13th Warrior next.

I'm totally going to steal this movie in my next DnD game

And there was much rejoicing.

You guys read my mind (even though the video was made a while ago, I guess). I've been thinking about watching this film!

The witch evil smiles. Priest holds up a torch and a flask of oil. "Your smirkin alot for someone inside a wooden cage."

This movie is terrible and I love it.

37:20 I like how Nicolas Cage's nose fits perfectly into the A of the EFAP logo.

Also, there's a movie called Pilgrimage, Tom Holland starring, a "proper" Medieval "war" movie. Also there's jon Bernthal and Richard Armitage in it.

finally nick cage my favorite actor

It's better than The Acolyte.

Oh wow, i've actually seen this. I didn't recognise it at first but once we got to the wolf scene, it started to click and then it was confirmed once they got the monastery. Completely forgot it had Cage and Perlman in it. Then again, i also forgot it had the Crusade/war stuff at the start too.

This did not feel like a Rotten Tomatoes 30% audience score film. It feels more like a 50-60%

"Redemption for the Bad Things He Did" sounds like a good enough title.

I'll be honest.. ive seen this film, but i canae remember anything about it until the end.. ^.-.^

Somehow, Shad mic got even worse

52:12 Rags did you slip for a quick sec? 😂

Season of the witch is 2x Acolytes for a fraction of the cost!

Season of the Witch is a terrible title, they should have gone with a title that tastefully teased the twist. I humbly suggest SWitcheroo

I just did 4 shots of Monte Alban....I think I'm ready for this. Lol

Fun fact! The American accent is more appropriate for forms of english predating the 19th and 20th centuries.

So Prophetic. A week after release and Biden is out

Dis Rags just Attack on Titan'ed at 9:13? (I mean I know that the first OP is pretty popular but he hates anime right? Would be cool if they would watch the show tho)

I don't have anything witty to say for the algorithm *Edit: "By the time the 'War Arc' finishes airing, we'll be in an actual war probably..."

Back when I was watching 1st 2 seasons of Crown I do remember looking up this movie but totally forgot Claire Foy was in this She was so pretty, still probably is

54:54 Mauler fails at latin. 20:26 Rags doesn’t think highly of the french.

It's less Season of the Witch and more Seasoning of the Witch. A little bit of Witch sprinkled about like a spice.

"Save me Barry!" IYKYK

This is what elden ring the movie would look like if it was made in the early 2000's 😂

8:23 I recall hearing Ron Pearlman say he got hired for his first movie (Quest for Fire?) for being ugly, or looking Neanderthal

I always really liked the look of the Demon in this movie. There needs to be more Demons in film! Edit: okay, it looks a bit worse than I remember, but the concept is still good!

I remember this film from when it came out. It wasn't half bad but I still think they could have done a bit more with the story. Enjoyed the commentary.

It would be cool if they would watch "Black Death". It came out at the same time, has a similar theme. Sean Bean in the lead role. But in the end it's a much better and more serious movie.

I would pay good money to watch Shad try and saddle up my uncle's plow horse, or ride him even if he could saddle him lol. Just because it's a horse doesn't mean it's a broken riding horse 😅

Top tier Batwoman tie-in there 👌

Watched this for the first time the day Biden drops out. Weird coincidence lol. Now if only Jacob Kane could take his place...
