Armed Forces Week: Salvage Marines TV Show Discussion Minisode

[00:00:01] Our galaxy, humankind colonized space so long ago.

[00:00:07] The centuries old conflict has led to endless wars and broken planets.

[00:00:15] My only way out was to join Guadalajara's army, the Reapers,

[00:00:19] a resource exploration and procurement engineer regiment,

[00:00:23] also known as the Salvage Marines.

[00:00:27] You know the debt my father left me.

[00:00:30] I want our son to know a better world than this.

[00:00:35] And I want our son to know his father.

[00:00:40] Do you even realize what's out there, Sam?

[00:00:43] Hail speed.

[00:00:46] Merks.

[00:00:51] Pirates.

[00:00:54] Monsters.

[00:00:56] Your loyalties repossed too far.

[00:01:03] Most people never come back.

[00:01:06] Do you think anything could survive that?

[00:01:09] I want to take it all back.

[00:01:11] The reasons, the sacrifice, the blood.

[00:01:14] Do we just commit a war crime?

[00:01:19] It's a Jacked Up Review Show

[00:01:32] It's a Jacked Up Review Review Show

[00:01:45] It's a Jacked Up Review Show

[00:01:48] It's a Jacked Up Review Show

[00:01:52] Jacked Up...

[00:02:08] Jacked Up Review Show

[00:02:11] Jacked Up Review Show

[00:02:14] Jacked Up Review Show

[00:02:17] Jacked Up...

[00:02:20] We're continuing all the fighting genres

[00:02:24] and our federation starship troopers.

[00:02:28] We've discussed that stuff.

[00:02:31] What's new?

[00:02:33] We're going to be doing a series of episodes

[00:02:37] available now on Popcorn Flicks and Crackle.

[00:02:41] It's yet another independent international low budget

[00:02:45] production that's trying to look bigger than it actually is

[00:02:49] and I got to plot it.

[00:02:52] It's just eight episodes.

[00:02:55] We're seeing a lot of people like or hate this

[00:02:59] with lots of interesting names attached to this.

[00:03:03] Not just as a 90s material.

[00:03:07] With Casper Vendian and Johnny Rico,

[00:03:11] it's clear that this is the main reason you're watching this.

[00:03:15] It's a throwback to those kinds of

[00:03:18] fascist societies

[00:03:21] just showing various

[00:03:24] people are being recruited into

[00:03:27] all these futuristic soldiers

[00:03:30] and fighting mostly on-scene alien race.

[00:03:33] propaganda recruiter is none other than Armand Nishante who plays a real life person who's

[00:03:39] often only seen as an interactive hologram.

[00:03:44] But it starts off on the basics, it could have been some better explanation but long

[00:03:48] story short people who are in prison for whatever wrongdoing can make up said prison

[00:03:54] time by serving in the field and somehow Casper Vandy and his character is able to

[00:04:00] get past said restriction and join this team which is basically a bunch of outer

[00:04:07] space mercs called the Reapers.

[00:04:10] And it just makes better sense because long story short when you were given

[00:04:16] jail time in this so-called total recall type feature basically you just

[00:04:22] you collect this debt but it's like a thousand years since there's some shit to

[00:04:26] where it would basically carry over into the on-born offspring and so that's the

[00:04:30] cool dilemma is like hey I got this wife, Sarah, played by Lenora Washington.

[00:04:37] It's cool to see a biracial couple on a mainstream show like this too.

[00:04:42] And she is an actress who's been in all kinds of things and just various TV guest spots and

[00:04:49] even other stuff that I was like wow okay I have seen you I just didn't know you were in that thing

[00:04:57] versus that but yeah some casual roles and including Barbershop too killing them softly and

[00:05:07] various roles on ER and CIS saga so that's interesting but yeah all these actors did

[00:05:14] pretty good here except for Gianni Capaldi he's this European actor who's been basically

[00:05:26] oh he's Scottish that's what it is but yeah somebody about his accent just drives me

[00:05:30] absolute bad shit crazy it's just not very good and of course it doesn't help that he's in a

[00:05:37] lot of these B movies so unfortunately he seems like a nice guy but I just haven't cared for many

[00:05:46] of his roles that include The Commando with Mickey Rourke, Hell on the Border with Ron Pullman

[00:05:53] and A Day to Die which is a crappy movie with Kevin Dillon, Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo

[00:05:59] as well as a few other Casper Vandy in movies and as one of the crooked cops in River Runs

[00:06:06] read with Ty Diggs and Luke Hemsworth yeah there's just someone about him he's just not very good and

[00:06:14] all I get are you just feel like he's just too much in love with himself and he's not

[00:06:18] as opposed to being invested in giving the best possible performance my main intro to him was

[00:06:24] those Dolph Lundgren movies that were where Dolph was trying some gangster type material but

[00:06:32] I didn't think those were good for the most part and I thought okay maybe it's just you know

[00:06:38] it's a shit show because it's got all these other talented guys who also aren't giving their best but

[00:06:43] this guy he's had so many different productions too he's not one who offends you or makes you

[00:06:50] say I'm not going to continue watching the rest of the movie but it's still just kind of like

[00:06:55] you're very much in love with yourself and you need to stop chewing the scenery and actually

[00:07:01] act because that's the other thing there is a way to actually chew the scenery and have fun

[00:07:06] and it wasn't working in that either here he is being this other guy who's kind of just

[00:07:11] wants to just go in fight these aliens without a military plan and I don't feel any of the

[00:07:19] character development that he's trying to echo that's in the script I just feel him

[00:07:22] just saying I'm gonna play to the camera and it's fucking annoying as hell and not in a good

[00:07:26] way not in an intended way either there's a difference you know from someone being a detective or a

[00:07:33] gangster trying to take on all their opposition and here you know I just didn't feel any of his

[00:07:39] so-called opposition I just felt like he was just being him but playing to the camera and no

[00:07:47] one giving him notes or maybe they didn't think it was awful but then again this is a B movie

[00:07:52] show so I hardly think it's that I think it's just they don't have a problem with them but

[00:07:58] most viewers like us are gonna probably find him annoying and not all that great an actor but

[00:08:05] it is a miniscule issue with this otherwise decent production all together I mean I like

[00:08:13] the alien designs I like how they saved the battle for the very final episode

[00:08:18] it takes a while to get going but overall it was a decent it can be I've mainly recommended as a

[00:08:25] Sunday night 2am type movie let alone a simple you know Sunday night watch it's very easy

[00:08:35] and laid-back entertainment it's not deep and it doesn't have to be you know and not everything

[00:08:42] has to be the expanse and I love that show that the expanse was incredible at laying out all this

[00:08:49] material much like you know other shows that had done it before and just as good like Stargate and

[00:08:55] Babylon 5 and the show is never going to be on anyone's top 10 list and if it is it's going

[00:09:01] to be with anyone who's just like a complete as for anything kind of like aliens predator

[00:09:06] and you know matrix type epic this is a very laid-back popcorn entertainment and doesn't pretend to be

[00:09:15] anything else it really does want to just make a straightforward you know material and a big scene

[00:09:23] stiller is Peter Shin Kota who you might know from Daredevil and Falling Skies among other

[00:09:29] movies and shows he's a Japanese Canadian actor and he's in all kinds of productions and

[00:09:40] he does a pretty good job here at just outlining his character how much like

[00:09:49] Casper Bendian's character he is trying to again you know escape this imprisoned military

[00:09:57] sentence and not dying combat and for the first three episodes they not only build the world but also

[00:10:05] mainly flesh out just the whole just hey you know like there here's how we live our day-to-day

[00:10:12] life in the barracks and outline it all he's also really good that the whole thing is pretty good

[00:10:17] at just illustrating just what everyone's feeling and where they're going at this time and

[00:10:27] you know now there are some homages especially to aliens and starship troopers they make fun of the

[00:10:35] they do a homodge so to speak in the co-ed of a shower segment and they do it in a way where

[00:10:43] it's not too over the top it's not pornographic it's just kind of funny it's like ha ha I see what

[00:10:49] you did there it's kind of more like an expendables kind of way that they do it and the director of

[00:10:56] this I think helm the whole show if I'm not mistaken Sean Paul Pacino Picciannino

[00:11:03] has mainly done just Christmas specials and other stuff and

[00:11:10] this this was pretty competent and never showed I'm cool you have kudos to anyone who can escape

[00:11:19] directing you know reality TV and documentary programs and hallmark stuff and do something

[00:11:24] bigger Philippi Martinez he would work with Armina Chante and a few other B movies was one of the

[00:11:31] big executive producers on this and according to the main website and you know they show it

[00:11:38] highly in the credits but like it can't be ignored is a giant international production I knew it was

[00:11:44] filmed in parts of Canada and the UK given the amount of actors but it also credits and as being

[00:11:51] Australian Germany US Japan and China production so clearly whoever it was who arranged this got

[00:11:57] all seven you know investors and crew casting crew from again all seven countries and cited hey

[00:12:05] we're gonna go into detail on this and it was called the company is 365 Flicks International

[00:12:13] but I really applaud him for getting this detailed result it seems like they got an

[00:12:20] outline for a second and third season and they've done all kinds of made for TV directive video

[00:12:29] independent festival productions and I still I gotta applaud that for looking as big as it is

[00:12:36] you can tell when it's very low budget that it's it's not quite there yet but it's also

[00:12:44] so far from just like so cheap like would not fly you know today it is not student film level it's

[00:12:52] very good at also just highlighting like getting us to hate this corporations that basically

[00:13:01] rule the world and its military against this alien threat and the aliens themselves I meant

[00:13:07] sorry I meant to say this earlier are kind of a mixture like if you don't kill them right away

[00:13:12] they reanimate into kind of zombie type creatures they're often armored with skills

[00:13:18] and kudos to the filmmakers that's a good way of showing how hey you know what we can't show you

[00:13:24] can actually make them a little freakier and for lack of a better word and the training segments

[00:13:30] are good at just kind of they do a good job of keeping them straightforward as well as having

[00:13:36] decent visuals and showcasing what everyone what's on everyone's mind and how maybe this fight might

[00:13:44] actually come of course it does finally arrive and they do have cool machine guns but all together I mean

[00:13:52] just the decent anyone who sees the poster this can't possibly mistake what they're

[00:13:56] getting into but it's hardly dumb it's just again it's a lower budget but it's

[00:14:03] it knows what it wants to be and it doesn't have any cheesy music or anything else that

[00:14:09] messes with the tone it's it is what it is it is a straightforward

[00:14:18] be picture in six acts so it's pretty good at that kudos to everybody for

[00:14:27] getting it together and being organized and knowing what they wanted to put up

[00:14:34] so it is highly recommended and anybody who's just you know looking for something

[00:14:42] then some of the other oversaturated big budget shit this is the one to look out for
