Today’s show is a discussion and review of the 2021 Indie comedy horror Black Friday.
2019 and 2020 saw a lot of big studio films delayed or postponed. As a result, films with smaller budgets or films that would have never been headliners in movie theaters had an opportunity to shine as starving movie goers took to the streamer services who made these films readily available for far less than the cost of going to the movie theater. Folks were stuck at home, teleworking, and out of options for an evening out on the town, so streamer services like Netflix and Amazon Prime raked in the cash from subscriptions, while HBO Max, Shudder, Disney Plus, and more joined the fray to cash in as well. Steamers quickly became everyone's staple for movie entertainment.
Many Indie, mico-budget, and B-movies could finally be the topic of any "what to watch" movie conversation. Without films like Dune, Black Widow, and F9 to compete with, these lower budgeted films garnered much more attention and could make more money than they ever would have in normal times.
Kenny and Del watched and reviewed many of these films, sometimes by request and other times because they looked too darn interesting to pass up. Films like Velocipastor, Psycho Goreman, Max Cloud, and Zombeavers opened up a new world for the Brothers in Armchairs Podcast and they dove into each one with the same enthusiasm as every show they had done before. We appreciated the journey up and coming film makers would undergo to bring their vision to life unabated by big studio politics and free to collaborate, create, and innovate by any means to complete their film.
It's no wonder when our feature film Black Friday came out, Del leaped at the opportunity to dedicate a podcast to it. Black Friday had the right mix of satire, practical effects, a stellar cast, and an offbeat familiar story to make it an interesting watch. And of course, the behind the scenes stuff is always worth talking about.
In this show, we'll do more than a movie review by delving into the lives of the cast and crew, fan theories, trivia, scene breakdowns, and anything related to the film itself. Needless to say, our shows are a little longer than your average movie review show, but we can assure you that our shows are jam packed with entertaining and interesting discussions. If that sounds like your sort of bag, hang out with us as we get into Black Friday.
