BATTLE ROYALE | Movie Mandates (The Sequel’s Better)
Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! For the rest of the year, we're celebrating movies where The Sequel's Better. This month we're watching my picks: BATTLE ROYALE and its sequel, BATTLE ROYALE II: REQUIEM. Yes, the "dump a class of high schoolers on an island with a bunch of weapons and make them kill each other" movie that no one wanted to release in America back in 2000. Can't imagine why. Anyway, I remember liking the first one and being amazed at what a step up its sequel was. Does my memory suck or did I have crap taste in my 20s? This week we'll discuss the first movie; next week, its sequel. Then, in December, Keleigh will pick another movie and its superior sequel for us to gab about. Oh, and join us this weekend (Saturday, Nov. 7, starting at noon PST) for 24 hours of live streamed video games to raise money for Rady Children's Hospital! Check out the event page here: https://dd.extra-life.org/participant/AndrewEisen 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 14:45 - Battle Royale review 1:05:02 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie. If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent. If you'd like to watch the video version of Movie Mandates, you can do so on YouTube. Alternatively, you can listen to and audio-only version on iTunes. New episodes of Movie Mandates drop on the first and third Wednesday of every month!
