Pluto TV: "Arena" Missteps to the Best Mono-Y-Mono Flick of 1989?

I do not like to listen to "How Did This Get Made" unless I have gotten around to seeing the movie. It is audio only, so despite the hilarity of the discussions, it feels like I am missing out. There are obviously some exceptions thanks to Jason Mantzoukas's enthusiasm making "Geostorm" and "Den of Thieves" part of the other show's vernacular, but otherwise, you have to want to see these movies on your own before you download an episode.

If your taste allows you to give "Hurricane Heist" a chance, are you likely to comeback for "Adore", a Robin Wright/Naomi Watts son/lover swapping drama, the odds of wanting to watch the latter to keep of with the feed is unlikely. Why would you want to go from ridiculous and bad to serious and bad?

One misstep, and my mind was not concerned with keeping track of the feed. Thanks for me accidently setting up notifications to the feed on my Samsung Galaxy S8.

I really appreciate my girlfriend's parents making her first smartphone a Galaxy A10E because surely I have mastered the most overrated brand. From a parenting standpoint, not giving her a choice (which she never wanted, especially now that it will not fit in her pocket) is a fair practice, so you do not have to use her tech-savvy boyfriend to justify it.

As a guy who went to "Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live" and has a Tom Servo tattoo, I was definitely familiar with "Starcrash", so HDTGM had me for at least a couple of weeks. It should have been three when they announced "Friday the 13th: Part 6 - Jason Lives", since Paul Scheer said it was on Amazon Prime. They must have watched it on that before October because Bezos knows you can sell anything horror related in October. At least to everyone but me.

A Voorhees romp is something I presumed my girl would not want to watch, so I was waiting for her to go to bed (12:00 am). I had forgotten to check out iTunes deals for the week, so I did not make it to check out Prime Video until 12:30. The time was not too late since the flick would fit this website's time restraints, so everything seemed to be going well. Six hours of sleep would be enough.

Then I found out the lack of free Jason flicks. Being stubborn, I was going to check out every subscription service to see if it was available for free. It was not, but I need content, and Pluto TV was the last place I landed on. Surely a cult flick would come through to me, and I have yet to watch a "Man versus Monster" tourney flick. I know, ironic because my first completed script is a zombie versus pro-wrestling comedy, "Main Event of the Dead". (If you want a treatment of the story, email me russthebus07@gmail.com).

Empire Pictures's "Arena" from 1989 would take that experience would leave me the wiser B-Movie maker. As for the film as a narrative, would it be a classic like "Re-Animator" or unbearable like "Trancers"? There is no middle when it comes to a Charles Band production.

As I look at this distributor's Wikipedia page, "Robot Jox" was the last film in their filmography. If their Lovecraft adaptations was not enough to warrant respect, pioneering replacing "ck" with "x", a 90's to early 00' standard, should.
