GAM Bonus 27: Birdemic
Added 2018-09-23 00:02:13 +0000 UTCOkay, so the word "best" doesn't mean much in this line of work, but this is certainly our favorite of all the movies we've ever done.

The main character walks like it’s his first attempt, after learning how to walk from a mistranslated description of a sarcastic YouTube video on walking. Amazing.

2025-03-17 18:45:48 +0000 UTCI'm late to GAM. I just looked up Birdemic on IMDB and found that 2 more were made! Birdemic 2 in 2013 and Birdemic 3 in 2022. I have no words.

2018-11-11 17:54:03 +0000 UTCThis review was extra enjoyable for me because I subscribe to a streaming service where Whitney Moore plays a tabletop game on a weekly basis and had a show where she hosted as a punk version of herself in a post apocalyptic world. Even better is that I remembered she appeared on How Did This Get Made's episode for this movie with Weird Al. Sadly the episode is archived, but I do recall that she said it was a strange experience and that the hangers were from the motel. Finally she was just announced as part of the cast for a movie called Satanic Panic with Rebecca Romijn about a pizza delivery girl fighting a satanic cult. I swore all of this is real.

2018-10-06 06:23:02 +0000 UTCThis was great! Was super happy to see you watched this one. If you guys haven't yet, I'd strongly recommend you expose yourself to the films of Neil Breen. Fateful Findings is my favorite. He is completely serious with his films like this guy and they are fantastically good-bad. I love them.

2018-10-05 17:58:00 +0000 UTCHearing this, I have to ask, have you seen Rubber? It’s a movie about an evil tire rolling along and killing people in the desert. I saw this several years ago and I loved it. I still can’t decide if it’s terrible or brilliant, but I loved it either way. <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_(2010_film)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_(2010_film)</a>

2018-09-24 20:50:07 +0000 UTCDear sweet Cthulhu....35 seconds in and already the review can't do this justice. Did the waitress really just teleport to the door and tell him to sit after a half second audio skip...? Yes.

2018-09-24 12:38:31 +0000 UTCAt the 1:13 mark you can see the cameraman's reflection for a good 20 seconds while the actor succumbs to his wounds. Wearing a bright pink hat too!

2018-09-23 23:15:35 +0000 UTCIt's always a joy to listen to you guys reveling in the badness of a truly bad movie... :) But hey, you missed an opportunity to make one more reference to Yoko Ono with "Give Peace A Chance"

2018-09-23 03:59:36 +0000 UTCI cannot believe y’all said a bird slit a guy’s throat like Steven Seagal” without making a Steven Sea-gull reference. 😂

2018-09-23 03:42:38 +0000 UTCIf it gives you any hope Eli, while the producers, actors, etc. were self-aware about the second movie, James Nguyen was still SERIOUSLY TRYING TO MAKE A GOOD MOVIE, and it has completely incidental zombie cavemen and a jellyfish graphic that is arguably worse than the birds.

2018-09-23 02:56:06 +0000 UTCDive bombing birds which explode on impact, acting which makes porn look Shakespeareing by comparison, and worse interactions between the humans and the (16 bit) computer graphics than your typical low budget edutainment TV programming. What's not to like?

2018-09-23 01:08:47 +0000 UTCGod, this movie... It's like a crayon drawing by a toddler. You just want to hang it on your fridge and admire it, even though it's mostly incoherent scribbles and he got some poop on it.
