Count Down to the New Year By Syncing These Epic Movie Moments at Midnight

Image
It's New Year's Eve! Which means it's time to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve.  For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin' Out - 11:00:00 If you want to kick off the new year with Nana vomiting all over Christmas dinner, oddly enough it happens EXACTLY one hour into the film so all you have to do is start the movie at exactly 11:00:00 Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:3...

D-Rock's Top 24 Albums of 2024

24. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere I really like this a lot but also prog metal is always incredibly difficult to mix with extreme metal and this is no exception. Some really cheesy parts but a lot of really superb parts. 23. Dissimulator - Lower Form Resistance Excellent prog-thrash stuff that gives hints of Vektor at times but very much its own identity. 22. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD” I mean it's Godspeed, they're always gonna be one of the best of the year but I'm surprised people think so much more highly of this than their last two records, both of which I think are better (especially Luciferian Towers which is everyone's least favorite but I think it's fantastic!). 21. Charli XCX - Brat This seemed kinda overhyped at first blush. I still think it kinda is but this is definitely a very creative, impressive spin on electropop and I understand the lyrics are also very personal even though I'm not a big...

Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin' Out REVIEW

Image
(CW: mild spoilers) It's finally here! The long-awaited sequel to 2022's breakout horror comedy Adult Swim Yule Log has arrived and it is really quite something! Picking up where the first movie left off, we follow Zoey (Andrea Laing) through a new adventure as she deals with the trauma she suffered in the first movie (including carrying an axe with her wherever she goes) and trying to stop living in a horror movie and start living in a Hallmark Christmas movie. When she wanders into the small town of Mistletoe, known for its clumsy hunks, she thinks she might get her chance to do just that--but an old friend isn't far behind... First of all, what they do with the meta idea of whether the characters are in a Hallmark movie or a horror movie is so creative but more to the point, it is executed flawlessly. Everything from the acting to the music to the aspect ratio of the film seamlessly transitions back and forth and at times the characters even seem to actively try to ...
