"Elvis" grew up to be a famous singer, and then he died in a plane crash.. and his twin brother made a career as his impersonator. What the hell movie?!
When Ray Liotta says the "Blacks and whites! Jews and gentiles!" line does anyone else expect it to be followed up with "Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!"
If there is a sequel I hope it tells the story of how Drexel ended up in a nursing home and has to team up with JFK's identical to stop his dad (who has now withered away to the point where he has mummifed and risen again).
So, Jenny believes that rock and roll originated in that club where Drexyl was singing. But in this same universe Elvis Presley exists... Is Elvis Presley an impersonator of Drexyl now? Was Elvis in the club that same night and decided to copy what he was doing? This movie has more layers than it should.
"Hey, how about this brand-new thing called 'rock & roll'? Even though it was just invented, we already remember it fondly. Here's Little Richard with, 'Piano Riff Woo!'"
HOLY SHIT! I thought the young version of Not Elvis looked familiar. Turns out he was the main kid in A Madea Christmas. Now that's what I call a filmography!
"I say they cut out the middle man and just drive him right to the graveyard." That bit never fails to make me bust up with laughter. One of many moments that make this one of my favorite Snob reviews.
"Uh-oh, dad's trying to fill the wiper fluid with scripture again." I laughed so hard i almost passed out. Long story short, you're getting some papers in the mail. See you in court.
"This is the first time someone got buster for OVERage drinking." "Stop calling him 'Daddy!' it looks like your getting busted by your power top!" I'm watching this at work, and almost choked to death trying not to laugh out loud.
Could just be like Kirk Cameron with Saving Christmas: An Elvis fan club sees how much money "Christian" movies are making, and decide to try it themselves. Or, that's my theory, at least.
Yeah cuz I bet you a viewer of the Cinema Snob who reviews porn and horror movies on the regular are probably spending a lot of time watching Christian movies not rated by the Dove Foundation.
"... and now Jesus comes to thank him personally ..." Haha, timing! What a great delivery of that line, Brad. That had me laughing out loud at the office, trying to explain why I wasn't working at that moment. Awesome video through and through.
This seriously might be your best Snob in years. Which isn't even to say you've been putting on bad episodes, they've all been amazing. But this one had me in tears I was laughing so hard.
Not really helped by the fact that him saying all are equal in the eyes of the lord is negated by the fact that the basis of Jim Crow was "separate but equal." Which was actually very UNequal.
I think Seth Green signs up for shit movies like this just so he can troll everyone. He's set for life off of that Robot Chicken and Family Guy money so he doesn't have to worry if these films flop. I kind of respect him for that.
I love how people think actors are “set for life” and don’t do anything for the paycheck or to stay active as an actor, you know the passion that they turned into a career, probably not just for money. It’ll be nice when one day the Internet comment section of every video realizes that people are not actually like them in real life… And no one takes a job to fucking troll RU-vid commenters. That’ll be a great day… Just to hammer my point home Samuel L Jackson who is worth probably way more than Seth Green is (220 million vs about 40 million net worth for SG) has been in hundreds more movies even though he doesn’t need to because he’s “set from all that money“ which is clearly the reason that people go into acting is for only the money… 🙄
I loved every single joke about Ray Liotta's character being old. And, it's one of the few Snob's episodes where I've seen the movie before. Thanks for an awesome episode!
You know, if this film had a sequel and with the way Liotta ages throughout this film, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into that old lady's mother from the Chocolate episode of Spongebob. Also, R.I.P Ray Liotta.
"It's a lot like Decatur, IL, but without the smell of methane gas and moldy cardboard" You do realize that as a Decatur resident, I"m going to have to kick your ass for that comment right? Here, I'll do you a better one. "Decatur, It's like Springfield, but without the Lincoln fetish"
For as long as I can remember I always wanted to rape a woman with a garden hose. To me that was better than being president of the United States. To rape a woman with a hose was to own the world.
That settles it. Bubba Ho-Tep is the first movie I'm watching for this year's Halloween Horrorthon. The Pecker-Growth alone has more entertainment value than this whole movie, and it (thankfully) never even made an on-screen appearance!
Stoned Gremlin Productions I would do ANYTHING for that review. I would sleep with a snake in my bed!!! I would hold hands with a man!!! I would even try being a lesbian!!!
This was one of the earliest episodes we did on Dare Daniel Podcast. Nobody I talk to has heard of it but I love your take. When that promoter reveals that Drexel (The Dream), Ryan Wade, Elvis, (and HIS dead twin Jesse) all exist in this multiverse is hilariously baffling. And the inexplicable cut to the 7 Days' War?!? daredaniel.com/2018/04/24/dare-daniel-episode-2-the-identical/
I wanted to see the bit were the dad tells him he's grounded and the guy playing the kid looks 40 years old . I remember you and your mate talking about this straight after you saw it in the movies . I laughed my ass off when you guys was talking about it
I'm so glad you made the Cannibal: The Musical joke, I was just thinking that the guy looked so much like young Trey Parker I even found it a bit distracting lol
Great episode. A new one for the Snobs top ten imuo. I had to stop the video for a while, I totally lost it + laughed so hard at the "Crashed into the toilet" line. Well played Mr Snob sir, well played.....
A: I have to admit, I kinda like the fake Elvis songs here B: the fact that Hemsley & Elvis exist in the same universe makes this a better twist than anything Shyamalan or Hitchcock ever did
Wait, so did Drexel die on the same plane as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper? Or was it a different plane? Or was he ACTUALLY supposed to be Ritchie Valens instead of Elvis, and in this universe Ritchie Valens never existed?
Man, I've been curious about this trainwreck since you've kind of recommended it to me. I hope local Netflix someday gets the idea to take this one into their programme.
... So He had his boss help him ask out a girl with an under her window serenade after which she seems to be more into his boss... But ends up with him & not the boss. I Think we missed a lot development there
Glad you did this one! It was really hard to picture what the movie was really like in your Midnight Screenings. Also, I can't wait until we start getting comments from the religious folks come across your video thinking it will be a positive review.
"Drexel" sounds like the name of the computer antagonist in that Yasmeen Bleeth movie "Game Over" that was made from other FMV game projects' cut scenes.
His mom gave him the idea to bleach his hair black. And Elvis had mom problems, while his 14 year old fan girl turned runaway soon to be his 18 year old wife has dad issues. True story
I know that Elvis was active in the late '60s but to make him look like he was the lovechild of Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison by the time the movie hits the late '60s and early '70s is very strange. Also that's a huge goof of writing when the movie is a mockup of Elvis's life yet this Drexel the Dream guy never had a "Dreamland" like Elvis had Graceland.
I saw that Norm of the North finally came out on dvd when I was in Target the other day, and it's so bad the only recommendation they could put on the box was a dove org seal of approval. They didn't even get a blurb.
I don't even understand how you manage to fuck something like that up in this day and age. Like, I'm pretty sure you need to be actively trying to make that happen.
