Fun fact: This film is currently on the Criterion Channel. This is why I love the Criterion Channel.

Not only did I do my homework by watching all four hours of 1982, I went back in for extra credit by rewatching 1981!! In all honesty it was for selfish reasons though, as I'm trying my best to be Lloyd approved!!

Also this why Tekken add a boxing Kangaroo in the fighting roster.

This movie makes "Kangaroo Jack" look like a masterpiece.

Just when I think I've seen every insane "This Exists" movie premise under the sun, here comes Brad out of the shadows to unveil some new horror previously thought lost to the sands of time.

You say, "From Albert S. Ruddy, the Oscar winning producer of THE GODFATHER."... No one will believe you! You say, "From Albert S. Ruddy, the Razzie nominated producer and co-writer of CANNONBALL RUN II"... They'll believe that in a heartbeat!

When you said the Poseidon Adventure and Mrs Harris goes to Paris. I immediately thought of Troy McClure and you might remember him some such films as The Revenge of Abraham Lincoln and P is for Psycho.

I was gonna make a Tekken reference, but the Snob was cultured enough to make it for me.

Damn , Robert Mitchum and Elliott Gould smoking out to get through this sounds like a great episode for Season 2 of The Offer. I love that Mitchum took roles like this. He's been a favorite since childhood

I honestly can't look at a movie shot of the Brooklyn Bridge from the 70s, without thinking of Lucio Fulci's official sequel to Dawn of the Dead , Zombie 2. Why couldn't they have found a way to have Matilda boxing a zombie?? Now that would have made for a compelling, financially successful, and Academy award-winning movie!!

Oh my gosh! I read about this movie in a book called "The Golden Turkey Awards"! Pre internet (published 1980), this was my first introduction to the art of making fun of bad movies.

The prequel to 'Kangaroo Jack' was WEEEEIIIIRRRRD. Now let's see if 'Dot & The Kangaroo' will appear on the show.

Did anyone involved in the production stop to think how ludicrous and scary the kangaroo costume looked? Or we can assume everyone was coked out of their minds?

Welcome back Snob. Also, does anyone wanna see this remade but played straight?

Still more convincing than Kangaroo Jack.

The actor/stuntman in the kangaroo suit, Gary Morgan, played another boxing kangaroo in the 1994 direct-to-video movie "Storybook", as Pouch. The big difference is that Pouch is an anthropomorphic talking kangaroo, so it greatly decreases the uncanny valley compared to Matilda.

9:47 Phillip Marlowe meets Phillip Marlowe. I vaguely remember seeing this movie as a small child. I don't remember if it was at the theater or on TV.

welcome back Brad. I thought The Exorcist was the scariest movie to come out of the 70’s, wow was I wrong.

Could you imagine a crossover 80s sequel Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice & Matilda? Ultimate Snob right there

Man, this sequel to Warriors of Virtue is somehow worse than the first.

Is that Grown Up Roger Jr. From Tekken?

THANK YOU!! Thank you for doing what The Nostalgia critic doesn't do anymore........review BAD movies!! At least SOMEBODY still does these!!

I really did come here because I thought it was 1998. Matilda

"please drink more booze !! Mitchum isn't here to pass a joint !!" I'm DEAD !! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I am so glad that Lionel Stander went on to play "Max" on "Hart to Hart" the year after this. He, Harry Guardino, and Clive Revill must have really needed paychecks. Revill starred as the final "Columbo" villain the same year....acting is a crazy line of work!

This is the Boxing cash in on "Gus"

0:11- Not only that, but for the past month and a half, I rewatched your 1982 in Film episode, as well as rewatching your previous 2 trailer episodes. I love those videos, because they also gave me great recommendations to films I haven't seen before, like Dressed to Kill, The Final Countdown, Excalibur, Blow Out, Swamp Thing, Porky's, and more. 3:47- No wonder he was replaced in this scene by Ian McDiarmid in the 2004 DVD release. 5:20- Or it's in the same universe as The Devil and Max Devlin, the 1981 Elliott Gould movie where Bill Cosby played The Devil. 10:50- Speaking of space, this is reminding me of The Mandalorian's modified N-1 starfighter, which has a little glass dome for Grogu to sit inside. 11:27- I wish this WAS Mr. Mom. At least you'll be talking about THAT film next year in your 1983 in Film episode. 11:47- This IS in the same universe as The Devil and Max Devlin. 13:24- Ha, I was also thinking that. 15:27- Did the gangsters shout "YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, MATILDA!"? 19:26- You should probably review Rickey 1 when Creed III comes out. 21:04- I was also thinking us Gus when you announced on Twitter that you'd be reviewing a movie about a boxing kangaroo.

Welcome Back Snob, Hope your Summer Break was Relaxing & Fun, You more then Deserved IT!!😃😎 It is Excellent to have you Back! 😃

When it comes to comedies and animal sidekicks i think im gonna have to go with monkeys. Both Dunston (Dunston Checks In) and Clyde (Every Which Way But Loose) has the edge over this Kangaroo. Still fun though and thanks for lifting it to my attention Snob.

i haven’t watched the cinema snob since thee whole change thee channel shit, but as a devoted elliott gould fan i couldn’t finish this and thought “brad probably covered this.” glad to see thee posters haven’t changed.

I didn't know there was another Matilda movie that's a Kangaroo. Anyways I'm glad to have another Brad movie review!

if they make Matilda in recent years, they will have a child co-protagonist

Fun fact: There was a formal promotional tie-in with McDonald's for this movie, centered around the sundaes, sort of a precursor to the arrival of the Happy Meal the following year (with their charter promotion being one with Star Trek: The Motion Picture).

I was very close to put this movie as a request for midnight screenings, glad to see it as a Snob episode

I love how the police walk up and arrest the kangaroo...like they could take a kangaroo. A Kangaroo would wreck their sh*t.

The boxing kangaroo had found its place in history. She'll be right mate, She'll be right.

"They're high as shit" Colour me... not even close to shocked. You couldn't even see shocked from here.

The talent evolved in this film is bananas good WTF

Welcome back and thank you for another batshit crazy ‘70s movie that I can’t believe exists. Right up there with Wacko!

There was more people in the audience for the big fight than at the big fight for Rocky.

Ever since I first read about this movie's existence and bought it on VHS, I have been wanting to see the Snob cover this one. And the wait was definitely worth it.

I'm still waiting for a movie with an animal in a human costume. Doesn't anyone think outside the box?!

I saw the kangaroo and had to just pause this for a sold minute to contemplate what I just saw The walrus from tusk wasn't this disturbing omgosh

16:50 awwww, I was so expecting "a heart of Gould" here.

I like to think that this film, "Gus", "Ed", the "Air Bud" films and "Most Valuable Primate" all exist in the same universe.

I saw this on tv some time in the mid-80's. There's not to remember but I recalled the gangster's plot to chop the tail off.

Lol awh yes. This is a good Monday indeed :3 cinema snob is still around! :D

Mara Wilson looks different in this version 6:46 ROGER, THE GOD!

So happy to see a new Snob episode!

Finally he is back

Well this was a weird one yet better than some of the movies I have seen on this channel. Welcome back Snob!!!

4:58 I think this is the first time I have ever seen an actor literally phoning in a performance.

Welcome back Cinema Snob (Brad)!

The making of Heaven’s Gate would make a great movie

*THE RETURN OF THE KING*

Whst nasty bait and switch. I loved it

Man I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see a man uppercut a real kangaroo.

70s: "A man taking an adventure of a woman? Nah! It will be fine."

19:25 A "Ricky 1" reference. Love it.

Combine the 2 Matilda's in a gritty reboot

I was wondering when Brad would review this one. I actually bought it on Amazon video.

Somehow the puppet of Monguito, the argentinian E.T. looks a little better now.

So, this movie about a boxing Kangaroo ends with it having a baby. Didn't know that the 1982 Arcade Game Kangaroo I played on MAME had a movie prequel. 😉😂🤣 But on a serious note, glad to see you back to being the Cinema Snob. Miss this character.

As I recall, this film played Radio City Music Hall for its NYC run. Just imagine that huge screen showing this to very few customers. The book is actually not bad, reading like a Westlake gangster comedy.

Its kinda the greatest movie ever.... As long as the Snob is talking over it. believe it or not.......... Miss u

Were the multiple boom-mic/studio lights incidents another one of those aspect ratio issues when converting from big screen to VHS?

I didn't realize there was a whole genre of films about animals that play sports that are normally only played by humans.

Another movie that serves as evidence of Hollywood being on drugs was 1974's Mr. Sycamore, starring Jason Robards Jr, Sandy Dennis and Jean Simmons (and I don't mean the lead singer of KISS). Maybe you should review that one, Snob.

yay my Monday routine is back.

So this is where Tekken's Roger comes from?

I was hoping the kangaroo went all Great White Hype at the end there, taking the one good punch then totally destroying the guy.

I know that the Snob didn't mention it but for those who do want to see Matilda in HD, the only place to find it is on The Criterion Channel. I was quite surprised to find it there too. See it before it eventually leaves the site.

It took me a second looking at the thumbnail to realize he wasn't actually reviewing the Mara Wilson movie. 4:46 - Am I the only one who was sure that was Ernest Borgnine?

I had forgotten this. I saw it at the theater when I was seven.

Great review! The movie seems totally plausible, but maybe not as convincing as the heart wrenching Calamari Wrestler

Man this Kangaroo Jack movie is way better than the remake

15:39 Boom-mike, top center.

God I would've put in so many Hell House references if I were in your place, Snob. *Clive Revill watching back footage of Matilda* I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!!! I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!!

Yeah, but he also produced Cannonball Run II, Speed Zone and Ladybugs

*mentions Tekken 2* Now this is a great video

The ambush scene feels like the DP made an on-set judgement call.

I love you, Snobby 😘

Hundreds and hundreds of Oscars and still there isn't one for keeping a straight face!

“Let’s just say this one didn’t win as many Oscars” You’re kidding!

Classic rookie mistake regarding the lights and boom showing. It’s not an example of bad/lazy filmmaking, on the contrary it’s just the shoddy telecine was full frame, rather than (as it should have been) matted. The DVD is correctly matted (as it would have been when projected theatrically). Hope that helps.

Is it me or does the Kangaroo look like one of the warriors from Warriors of Virtue?

For the next movie, I recommend You Only Live Twice.

Yay he’s back😁😁

Very weird typecasting fact - the guy in the Matilda suit, stuntman Gary Morgan, would play another boxing kangaroo in an extremely mediocre 1994 direct-to-video fantasy movie named Storybook.

What the hell is that costume I'm trynaa eat🤧😫... I'll have to watch later🤧😖😅

There's both Left Behind, the Nicholas Cage one and also Killjoy. So it's either a killer clown or Nicholas Cage who is crazy like a drunken clown. Both are on Freevee, take your pick!

So, the whole thing turned into a half-assed parody of The Godfather with them planning to chop of the roo's tail instead of the horse's head? The Zucker Brothers they ain't.

Can you review Bride of Chucky when season 2 of the Chucky TV series drops?

Cinema Snob is back in this bitch with new episodes! Yay!😃😎

And I thought Kangaroo Jack was an out there movie with a kangaroo character. Wait a minute, so this isn’t a live action reboot of that cartoon? Oh well. Either way welcome back Snob!

So this is how I discover there's a boxing film called Ricky I, uh? Sounds fitting.

The laugh track joke got me

Ya Lost today Matilda It doesn't mean the Critics, or fans, have to like it ;) But the review was jawdropping insane!! It's like you hinted at and what MST3K mastered! The ability to know, almost perfectly, when to Riff and when the movie will riff itself!! Cheers from Canada

I watched it more than once snub.

I was expecting him to review the 1996 family movie based on the book by Roald Dahl!
