  • SLANTED 2025 Movie Review – It’s Okay To Be Yourself

    Sometimes I go to see movies without ever watching its trailer beforehand. I walked into da theater and got one ticket for the movie Slanted. Wow! That was a lotta movie to take in. Where can I even start, let alone, finish this episode?

    One overt idea in the film is — Would you change yourself if you thought it would make people like you more? Does that even get you anywhere in life? If Dis Drawma Kingg changed himself to try to gain popularity, would it accomplish anything?

    Trial #1: Imagine I choose the path of no longer being the man with the lowest IQ in bipedal human history. How would I execute that? I don’t know how to instantly change my IQ points! That may just be on account of my particularly low IQ though.

    Trial #2: Imagine Dis Drawma Kingg chooses not to be an overly dramatic writer of movie reviews and comic books. Alternatively, I will be one of those players of sports. Ohh yeah, the glory would be great! Wait a second, that means I would have to know how to sport! We can just cross that one off the list.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. Slanted was a movie that needs time and multiple viewings to fully assess. To mention a positive – all of the acting was excellent! I will say that I wasn’t feeling like it was a great overall experience while watching it in the theater, but it definitely makes your brain ponder afterwards. Plus, I learned something from the film. Dis Drawma Kingg will try to be his overly dramatic self as much as possible from now on! 

  • TOGETHER 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Together is a sweet love story between Alison Brie and Mike Pancake. It’s Dave Franco actually, but once your name is Pancake in a movie you can’t go back. Old school Hollywood rules. So this pancake was sorta in love with another pancake, and suddenly the two pancakes became STUCK together!

    Now I love pancakes as much as the next person that has ever tried them, but to see two of ‘em STUCK together is gross! I should probably state that I thought Together was actually a very good movie overall. And I loved that it was very dramatic. It was also pretty gross though! If you can get past that issue, the story is pretty fun and comes together nicely by the end. There were a few moments where the tone was a bit odd with the dialogue choices in certain situations. Also, there were more comedic moments than I was expecting for a movie with such an extreme plot. It worked that way, regardless. The funny comments helped make it more palatable that we have to witness two pancakes merging together.

    k I’m just gonna start talking about sumtin’ else now. Ban Smith was a private eye. He liked investigating clues and stuff. He was on a CASE. Arriving at a light green colored house, he knocks on the door. A man greets him with the most chillingly oppressive stare and invites Ban inside. There is a nice fireplace illuminating the living room. The two sit. 

    Man: What brings you to my home this melancholic evening?

    Ban: Are you not the man they call Rodust?

    Rodust: Yes, I have been called by that name. Usually at least a few times per day.

    Ban: Rodust, do you have INFORMATION for me?

    Rodust: I am always holding information. What will I get in return?

    Ban: So that’s the way it’s gonna be? OK. I will offer you this Baby Cat Keychain they just gave me at the gas station for spending over 20 American dollars.

    Rodust:  This offer is acceptable to Rodust. The one you seek is in the hilltop cabin. I would leave quickly. Plus the sooner I have this Baby Cat Keychain, surely the better!

    [Ban hands the keychain to Rodust]

    Ban: Additionally, whenever I again hear talk of the strange rumors people say about Rodust – I will stand up and defend your honor!

    Rodust: No need, Ban. I assure you most of those rumors are true.

    Bandolier Smith is walking on the trail to the hilltop cabin as it starts to rain. The weather is looking like it will be quite grim in the late night. He thinks to himself: “Will I regret giving up my Baby Cat Keychain?” He was feeling an unusual combination of both determination and heartbreak. Odd things keep appearing to his left or right. Dark figures almost in view – yet there is nothing each time he turns his head. Ban was never one to believe in the supernatural, but he couldn’t help feeling like he was surrounded by ghastly entities in the dark of this lonely path. There! Just ahead! Ban was now in view of the towering gate to the hilltop area.

    Ending Explained: The two main characters fully merge into one body. There is now a hybrid Mike Pancake and Alison Brie person and they seem to be fine with the situation.

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. Together was better than I had anticipated! It’s just only for people that can handle creepy and gross horror films. Dis Drawma Kingg ain’t afraid of no movie! I can usually handle any film, but even I was fairly grossed out in some of the scenes. I think that is kind of the point though, and it was good at accomplishing it’s task. I would like to add that Dave Franco won some street cred for doing an interesting offbeat movie, thus I will attempt to try to stop calling him Mike Pancake. This means I will have to defy the vastly ancient and spiritual Hollywood rules. Luckily, your brave Drawma Kingg has always been a rule breaker!
