CHAINSAW MAN – THE MOVIE: REZE ARC
Tatsuki Fujimoto’s most hellish manga creation has rev’ed up from the the page, onto the tv screens, and moving onto the biggest screens of silver and into our hearts. We are talking about Chainsaw Man The Movie- Reze Arc directed by anime key artist and showrunning legend Tatsuya Yoshihara. Canon to the ongoing animated series on tv, yet accessible enough to go in completely blind to the world of devils and fiends, the Chainsaw Man movie pulls homage to film makers such as Richard Linklater, PT Anderson, and the Coens to name a few. Denji (Kikunosuke Toya) is a teenage boy who is fused physically with an adorable little puppy-like devil in the shape of a kawaii chainsaw named Pochita (Shiori Izawa). Pochita gives Denji the ability to turn any part of his body into a chainsaw and together they use horrific slasher violence to take down devils at the behest of a secret Japanese government agency. Makima (Tomori Kusunoki) is Denji’s boss on whom he has an adolescent crush. After a day at the movies with Makima, Denji has a meet-cute at the transit with a teenage girl named Reze (Reina Ueda). During an impromptu manic pixie dream date, evil lurks and the bomb devil appears. It’ll be up to Denji and his team of Devil Hunters to stop the Bomb Devil, save the city, and pursue the fiery passions of young love. Bradly, Rhett, and a special haunting from the podcasting afterlife, Dogget, discuss their relationships with manga, anime, classic nickelodeon game shows, and each other, while discussing the H-Bomb of anime adaptations, Chainsaw Man-The Movie-The Reze Arc.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Rhett O’Hara
Rhett O’Hara has really been looking forward to writing this “about me”. He blames movies for a lot of things in his life. He blames seeing Batman Returns as a child for his interest in all things goth and camp. He blames seeing Akira at far too young of an age for his interest in films that dare to venture into the weirder side of things. He blames Midsommar for never visiting Sweden. Rhett has lived in Austin for a couple of decades, so he can speak fondly of the old days of renting DVDs from I Luv Video (Tetsuo the Iron Man left a mark) and buying peculiar documentaries (The Nomi Song, Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist) from Waterloo Video. Rhett also remembers reading an “about me” that stuck with him a few years back. Time continued and he felt a constant need to share “about me” as well. It wasn’t a voice telling him to do this but something akin to the feeling of knowing that someone is watching you without ever actually seeing that person. Rhett has been anxious and is only just now feeling a sense of relief writing this. He feels selfish though, knowing that this will continue on to the next host; the desire…. the urge…. no….the need to pass along a message that has existed ever since humanity started sharing thoughts in a written form. You must understand that he had no choice in this matter. Rhett is truly sorry for this, but he’s every bit of a pawn as you are now. Rhett is also contractually obligated to let you know that he has been a guest on the hit podcast Trash in the Can.
