  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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! 

  • 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE 2026 Movie Review – Why Did You Give Me That Sandwich?

    Why did you give me that sandwich? It was not a tasty sandwich. In my review of the third 28 Later movie in 2025, I complained that 28 Years Later would have been better without the intro and outro scenes about the Jimmy character. The rest of the movie had nothing to do with him and was really good! I deemed these intro/outro scenes – Da Sandwich! Well here we are in the sequel. What’s the point of this Jimmy character? Why did they make 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple? Was Da Sandwich created for a reason?

    The short answer is – not a very good one. You might say there were some good fixins in Da Sandwich though. Ralph Fiennes’ acting was exceptional, and his character was surprisingly likable. He seemed to have a love for music such as Duran Duran and Iron Maiden. I think I heard him say “Memento Mori” at the end which is the name of a Depeche Mode album too. I don’t think the writers were actually using it that way, but for the official cannon story I create in my overly drawmatic head, it was definitely a Depeche Mode reference!

    Otherwise, I found the movie so-so. There were plot threads that fizzled. One example: there were multiple conversations about the Teletubbies, but nothing was concluded on the matter. There was also an intriguing, yet unresolved, sub plot about an infected patient that Dr. Ian Kelsen (Ralph Fiennes) was treating. I thought this was going to go somewhere really exciting during the climax. Unfortunately, it did not.

    Why Did You Give Me That Sandwich?: I think the previous movie created Da Sandwich just to try to turn 28 Later into a bigger franchise with notable characters. However, SUPER SPOILER: neither Dr. Ian Kelsen nor Jimmy appear to make it out alive. So this franchise expansion kinda implodes in the end.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. Da Sandwich should have set up something a little better than 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. At this point, I am very lukewarm on all four of the 28 Later movies. I’ll still probably go see the next one though. Apparently mediocrity doesn’t stop me from giving movie franchises more money.
