Patreon bonus video for August is up! Let's talk about the classic Naked Gun film, and also briefly talk about my impression of the reboot. My English wasn't (and still isn't) proficient enough for this kind of rapid-fire comedy. But for some reason, I still enjoy The Naked Gun a lot. It's a case of you don't have to laugh out loud to have a good time.

Patreon supporters can now view the video on patreon.com/accentedcinema.
70+ previously uploaded videos are available as well.

With the new Zelda movie in production, in this Patreon bonus video for July, I'd like to share my hottest take: Conan the Barbarian is my ideal adaptation of a Zelda movie. Yes, I'm talking about the 1982 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, decapitation, and plenty of nudity. But if you ignore that, there is something that makes this movie very... Zelda-esque.

In this month's Patreon bonus video, we continue onto Dawn of the Dead, one of the most influential zombie films ever. It's rare to see a film so reflective of its time, and yet so timelessly relevant to this day. Watching it in a post-COVID world is a surreal experience.

Patreon supporters can now watch the video at Patreon.com/AccentedCinema. There's also a playlist of 70+ previous bonus videos!

Hope you enjoyed our last video! If you want more content, please consider supporting us on Patreon! Our Patreon monthly bonus video for May is Night of the Living Dead!
It is crazy to think about how this one movie pioneered the entire zombie horror sub-genre. Not only did it create the monster concept, it also established the story format! It's truly a film ahead of its time.

In this inflammatory edition of Patreon bonus video, we'll talk about Blade Runner and how the aesthetic of cyberpunk is no longer "cyber" nor "punk". It's a bit of a hipster take, but I'm sure I'm not alone on this.

There will be some spoilers in our next video. I suggest at least giving Ne Zha (2019) a watch first.
The film is available right here on YouTube, free with ads.

In this 69th (nice) edition of Patreon bonus video, we are talking about one of the most ball busting action movies of the 80s: RoboCop.
Despite having no good sequels, remakes, and very few good spin-offs, RoboCop continues to be a big part of our pop culture. In this video, I'll share my thoughts on why that is.

In this month's Patreon bonus video, let's about that one good *spoiler* scene from The Flash, an otherwise lame movie. In all honesty, my problem with the film came from all the wasted potential it has, and I want to share my thoughts on that topic.

Patreon supporters can now watch the video on patreon.com/accentedcinema, as well as all 67 previous bonus videos.
