WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 35 – Midnight Munchies / Mange Ta Main Vol. VI

Published

Despite possessing one of the least convincing drug sequences ever committed to the digital form, Director Stan Hales bong hit-and-bloodsucker short Midnight Munchies is devilishly fun.  This is the type of stoner-schlock one would expect from the ganja-and-gore crowd. The music has some bite, and the spray and scream FX gimmicks are consistent with the campy, gonzo tone of the film. However, there’s way too many sticks and seeds in the performances, but the batty, screwball denouement is inspired enough to satisfy your late night craving for marijuana-and-murder. This may not be the best dope out there, but it will get you marginally high on some laughs.
Cedrick Lavoie’s Mange Ta Main Volume VI is one of the strangest WOD efforts in the compilation. I think this oddball spoof may actually be performance theater masquerading as absurdist cinema. Lavoie’s Andy Kaufman-esque take on the late-night infomercial industry borders somewhere between utterly bizarre and inexplicably compelling; equals parts insane slapstick and self-parody. Surprisingly, it never collapses under its own weight – it just keeps slicing and dicing towards its admittedly predictable, yet irresistibly disgusting climax. Mange Ta Main Volume VI is either a wickedly brilliant satire or a real lowbrow exercise in one man’s fascination with the Puree feature. Either way, this film is a real cut-up.

Anna Faris & Regina Hall Promise ‘Scary Movie’ Will “Offend Everyone;” New Images Revealed

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.

“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”

Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”

EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.

Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.

The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).

The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.

Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
