Saw it at a near-midnight show at the drive-in on Friday night!

Obviously not as good as the first, but I like how it's essentially an Austin Powers movie done right. More old-school spoof than anticipated full-out gonzo. Rodriguez's movies always feel like a rush of vaguely organized b-movie clips coming at you, but was never bored and the "we're having so much fun filming this!" feeling was always inclusive and never grating. Creepy Mel is extremely creepy.

Hilarious "Machete will return. in... Machete Kills Again... IN SPACE!" scenes at the end. I hope it gets made.

saw Machete Kills thanks to my brother last night and....god that was painful. the first one was fun but this one was leaden as fuck.

yeah, sadly

Hobo with a Shotgun beats both anyway

robert rodriguez is not so secretly a terrible filmmaker is the thing

this is pretty wonderful. this is a comedy podcast where these guys usually rip on bad movies but for this episode it is basically story time with Danny Trejo and it is glorious. he talks about his career and his life and how he ended up doing movies. it is a crazy story. he is a youth drug counselor, he gets a call to be on set to help someone overcome cocaine addiction, ends up being spotted and invited to be an extra. he had already done time in San Quentin and saw a prison set with a bunch of fake prisoners and thought it was hilarious so he walked on over, and it started his film career! Trejo has an amazing life.
