  • BUGONIA 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Do you believe any conspiracy theories or any of the people that concoct them? If you just consider regular statements (not strange conspiracies), human beings are wrong rather frequently with the things they say. Now, take some building blocks of such statements that form a house. What are the chances of a beautiful house with a solidly built foundation? Bugonia‘s plot is about a man trying to convince his cousin to also believe his conspiracy theory. All of the characters in the movie are not people from real life. I could totally relate to this movie because MY nonexistent cousin once convinced me to believe something painfully ridiculous too!

    As a result of my nonexistent cousin lying to me in neverhappenedland, Dis Drawma Kingg did eventually develop a conspiracy theory of my own. If the lights ever go out in Georgia, you might get a really cool song out of it! I would patiently wait… watching the news, listening for any power outage situations. Although I am mostly over any conspiracy mindedness, part of me still hopes for another great song about failing electricity in Georgia.

    Back in thee day, I had a short phase of theorizing conspiracies on various subjects. What if those Temple Pilots WEREN’T made of stone? What if Mary’s lamb was big? What if we all merely collectively imagined that Elvis had cool hair? How did the dogs get out? Maybe Roswell wasn’t a UFO crash, but more like a UFO even more together! 

    Ending Explained: Michelle (Emma Stone) really was an extraterrestrial. Bugonia portrays the conspiracy theorist as happening to be correct in the way he connected the dots this one time.

    Final Thoughts: 5/10 Crowns. Bugonia was somewhat interesting to watch for its semi-unique story. The acting was good too. I think a number of issues in the plot, especially near the end, held it back from a higher Crown Rating. One gripping moment happens when a misled Jesse Plemons antifreezes Alicia Silverstone (who is the best character in the movie). OK, “don’t be mean to Alicia” is a flat out rule I expect from all movie characters, so they did strongly convince me that this individual space alien was villainous!

  • HOKUM 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    What makes a movie “good”? How do the elements of a long-form video converge to a goodness that is affirmed by a community? During my viewing of Hokum, I found myself reflecting on its individual qualities and what they meant as a whole, kind of like a lemon AND lime beverage.

    Gimme a reason not to just start talking about something else! Seriously, why should I continue talking about Hokum? Dis Drawma Kingg goes on non-sequitur rants about something other than the movie in a lot of episodes of drawmakingg.com. So gimme a reason not to!

    Alas, I was once walking on another world, barefoot on a substance resembling sand. A humanoid approaches me in bizarre movements.

    Drawma Kingg: Hello?

    Humanoid: Hey whatchya doin’?

    Drawma Kingg: Ahhh, not much… how… about… you?

    Humanoid: Ohh nuthin’, was hangin’ out with Nina Lou the other planetary rotation.

    Drawma Kingg: Cool? Who’s Nina Lou?

    Humanoid: MY BEST FRIEND! Wait?! You don’t even know, Nina Lou?!

    Drawma Kingg: Oh yeah… [getting scared] I know Nina Lou. She’s from that thing I saw that one time.

    Humanoid: Phew! You had me worried you were an alien spy for a second there.

    Drawma Kingg: Wow, that is sooooo not like me.

    Humanoid: We’re cool then. If you don’t mind me asking – what’s the one thing you know Nina Lou from?

    Drawma Kingg: Errrm gee ahh… y’know the ol’ memory ain’t what it used to be.

    Humanoid: Surely ha ha, I hear that! I’ll quit bugging you about it. WAIT A SECOND! I don’t know how old you are, but you are clearly less than 100 orbits around our star! How is your memory bad already?!

    [Inputs an electronic command to alert authorities of the extraterrestrial spy]

    Is It Worth Watching?: I personally did not find Hokum to be very entertaining.

    Final Thoughts: 5/10 Crowns. Hokum’s plot did not amount to anything interesting, and there were only some slight scares. Generally, there were no standout moments that were exciting or noteworthy. Adam Scott’s acting is the only aspect that comes to mind to praise. His character hurt my feelings though when he suggested you’re not a writer if you don’t make a lot of money from writing. Dis Drawma Kingg isn’t no gazillionaire! 

    BONUS: Bet you’re wondering how I made it out of that interplanetary conflict alive and how I got back to planet Earth. I’d tell you all about it if only my memory were what it used to be!

  • MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 1996 Movie Review – Is It Just An Inferior Version Of The Master Of Disguise?

    Drawma Kingg confession: before this review, I had never seen a James Bond, Mission Impossible, or Jason Bourne movie. Maybe it should stay that way with the Bourne series, but I’ll review a Bond film eventually. Today, we discuss 1996’s Mission Impossible where that Com Truise guy wears a bunch of funny looking disguises to outwit his opponents. During the viewing experience, I began to ponder – is this film just an inferior version of The Master Of Disguise?

    Now I know The Master Of Disguise came out six years after Mission Impossible, so I’m not suggesting the 1996 blockbuster ripped off a previously existing film. What I am asking is – if you haven’t seen either movie and you’re holding the new 4K VHS tapes in your hand side-by-side, which one should you watch for a superior experience? SPOILER: none of Com Truise’s disguises are turtles or even human-turtle hybrids.

    Do you enjoy movies with bad writing? I genuinely thought this popcorn flick would have to be fairly good since it spawned so many sequels. The writing was terrible, convoluted, dull, boring, and unengaging. No, not The Master Of Disguise. I’m still talking about Mission Impossible. I will admit that there was one single moment of brilliant dialogue that far exceeded anything I could have ever written myself. Two characters are having a serious conversation:

    “What are we downloading?”

    “Information.”

    Is It Just An Inferior Version Of The Master Of Disguise?: Yes, and the ratio of honest opinion to me telling a joke here is more complicated than you might expect.

    Final Thoughts: 2/10 Crowns. Aside from the bad writing, Mission Impossible was also not a good action movie. Sadly, it was just not exciting at all. The Master Of Disguise really isn’t a great movie itself, just by comparison. I mean, it’s a cinematic adventure where Jennifer Esposito steals your heart, and Dana Carvey uses a telepod or something to splice his DNA with a turtle!

  • LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    OH YEAH! Finally, a theatrical sequel to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode where Frylock is huggin’ The Mummy! I’ve been waiting all week to see this anticipated return to form in the genre of mummy movies. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was one of the wildest scary movies I’ve ever seen, and I must answer the difficult question: is it WORTH WATCHING?

    Kay I’m gonna start talkin’ about something else…

    I was doing some business in New York City with another person that was also in New York City for the purposes of this story. He didn’t seem to want to agree to the full terms of the deal. “Why do I have to get only soup and salad for my next three unrelated professional business dinners?” and “Why do I have to be dressed in cosplay at the moment I sign the contract?” are the kind of questions he would ask me. My acquaintance just couldn’t seem to see the big picture.

    Drawma Kingg: If we offer you 7 more U.S. dollars, will you take the deal?

    Business Person: 8 dollars, no cosplay.

    Drawma Kingg: Ugh, my employer won’t be happy about this… 6 dollars, no cosplay.

    Business Person: Sparky chum, that right there is a deal.

    [Signs contract]

    Drawma Kingg: I was surprised you were focused on the cosplay paragraph more than the one about the corporation getting to name your first two children.

    Business Person: Dressing in cosplay of my choosing would have been humiliating.

    Drawma Kingg: Well just wait till you have Gloopy and Moppin’ in your life.

    Business Person: What?

    Drawma Kingg: Oh never mind.

    NOW: Back to whatever I was talking about…

    Is It WORTH WATCHING: Yes for those that can handle intense/gross horror. No, for those with a mid to low tolerance.

    Final Thoughts: 7.5/10 Crowns. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was legitimately scary in a few different ways, and the story was interesting enough. Particularly, the film was frightening in terms of the “family horror” subgenre — by having a supernaturally possessed family member just sleeping over there in the next room every night. One highly relatable scary scene: just when you think coyotes are cute, they start eating you! DISAPPOINTMENT! Such a feeling arrived because there was no Shake, Meatwad, OR Frylock anywhere in the whole movie! Makes you wonder if it was even an Aqua Teen sequel to begin with, yet each viewer must decide that for themselves!
