December 2020 Watchlist: Dumpling December!
Every December our team has a big group cooking experience that we’ve affectionately titled Dumpling December, when we get together and share new and family recipes for dumplings from all over the world. We had to do it distance style and just eat with our eyeballs this year, so we started sharing movie dumplings too- movies with a whole ‘nother movie in them. Now we’re gonna share ‘em with you too! Join us on Patreon [ www.patreon.com/westsidevideo ] for an extended watchlist (and for a movie night watchbox delivered/mailed to your door every month), and join our Discord [ https://discord.gg/DNjrjaAuTD ] for multiple absolutely FREE movie screenings every month!
Be Kind Rewind (PG-13, 2008) - Our greatest fears as a video store are realized in the beginning of this film, when Jack Black accidentally erases all the VHS rentals in a local shop. The new manager then recruits him and community members to remake the erased films, and honestly it’s just really fun and creative and inspiring and we’re not crying YOU ARE.
Bowfinger (PG-13, 1999) - Steve Martin can’t get Eddie Murphy to agree to be in his bad movie, so he gets the brilliant idea to simply film him paparazzi-style and use that footage, which is perhaps simultaneously the most stupid and most entertaining idea ever.
Inland Empire (R, 2006) - David Lynch makes an actress lose her dang mind as she melds with her character. Sounds...about right honestly.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (R, 2001) - Bluntman and Chronic comics are based on Jay and Silent Bob...so how come they aren’t getting any cash for the movie adaptation of their life adventures? They go on a road trip to right wrongs and figure out what’s up with Good Will Hunting 2. Nooch!
Matinee (PG, 1993) - John Goodman’s one-man studio premieres MANT (half-man, half-ant; get it?) in a Key West theater during the Cuban Missile Crisis alongside Cathy Moriarty’s jaded d-list starlet, juxtaposing real life and the film until it’s tough to tell them apart. Come for the quirky stories, stay for the many irl b-movie cameos!
Singin’ In The Rain (G, 1952) - A musical about a silent film crew transitioning to talkies would be good enough, but putting Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, Cyd Charisse, Rita Moreno and more is movie magic within movie magic.
Son of Rambow (PG-13, 2007) - Join a couple of school kids- one raised without any popular culture in a very religious setting, one raised on films entirely because no adults have paid any attention- as they attempt to make a film sequel to First Blood.
Their Finest (R, 2016) - A secretary gets voluntold to become a propaganda film screenwriter for British morale during the Blitz. Lone Scherfig gives us a worthy addition to the WWII film genre.
Trollhunter (PG-13, 2010) - A bunch of college kids start documenting their search for the bear behind several human fatalities...but like...what if it was not a bear, but a TROLL?
What We Do In The Shadows (R, 2014) - Imagine Real World with vampires. Hilarious, right? It 100% works- so much so that they made an also hilarious show out of it!
“There’s so many great things in Singin’ in the Rain, but there’s the dream ballet inside of the dream ballet [which is] one of the most incredible, beautiful, completely unhinged things,” Gerwig joked. “There’s a space when he’s dancing with Cyd Charisse in this space with the stairs, and she’s got that long white scarf that floats up. That was sort of how we wanted to model a certain Ken ballet.”

Just watched and re-watched Singin' in the Rain three times and new OT3 acquired
So you've started reviewing more popular movies with High School Musical, but you also review obscure ones. You review movies you like and movies you hate. Is there anything you WON'T review? (apart from non-musicals)
While I have dropped my rule of not reviewing anything the Nostalgia Critic has already reviewed–I’ll be looking at Labyrinth this coming June for its 30th anniversary–there are definitely some things that I won’t review.
The biggest thing is that I won’t review any movie where I don’t think I could add anything new to my review. This includes pretty much any movie that has been talked about to death already. Even though I have begun reviewing more popular movies, I don’t think I will be reviewing movies like Singin’ in the Rain or The Wizard of Oz because they are considered classics and have had so many videos made about them. (I might review Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return, The Wiz, or one of the two anime Wizard of Oz movies, though.)
Also, part of the reason I originally had the rule of never reviewing anything the Nostalgia Critic has already reviewed is part of the same reason as above. For example, I doubt I will ever make a review of Mamma Mia! because I don’t think that I could say anything about the movie that the Nostalgia Critic or Musical Hell didn’t say in their reviews of it. Obviously, the other reason I created that rule is because, well, I don’t want to accidentally make the same jokes as other reviewers.
But no, apart from that, there isn’t much that I wouldn’t review, as long as it isn’t still in theaters and I actually do have the clips for the video. Hell, next month, I will even be making a crossover review of a movie that’s still massively popular right now.

The young and capable woman sheltering Mr. Garfield from the rain is doing an admirable job but if her arm grows weary I am ready for my opportunity as an Understudy Umbrella Wielder To Protect The Talent From Raindrops....

What can I say? He's my LOVE MUFFIN.
Well, we movie stars get the glory. I guess we have to take the little heartaches that go with it. People think we lead lives of glamour and romance, but we’re really lonely - terribly lonely.

Me scrolling down Tumblr Trending Tags and suddenly simping for a Vintage actor that would probably call me the N word:
My sister and I mentioned this while we were watching it!! She was like, this feels like that one scene in Singin' In The Rain, and I was like yeah, the fever dream scene

What’s the first thing an actor learns? The show must go on! Come rain, come shine, come snow, come sleet! The show must go on!
