PATREON PARTY PLEASER:
This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic DoctrinePatreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!
Shirleon joins Melvin to summarize Priest, a forgotten feature from 2011. Loosely based upon a Manhwa of the same name, the two explore some of the neat ideas stuck beneath this unfocused, Syfy-original-like flick. And yes, it starts with a lore dump because of course it does.
Topics:
- Editor's Note: No Patreon Exclusive discussion! But, I do intend to trim this episode down from its original 1:22:34 length, so if you want to hear the UNCUT version, tune in on Patreon here!
- Priest feels like it should have come out in the early 2000s.
- Comparing vampire lore.
- Melvin feels Paul Bettany isn't a leading man, but he has criticisms over the entire casting of Priest.
- Discussing the vampire design.
- Priest can't go a few minutes without making mistakes.
- It's infrequent but occasionally the movie has some cool sci-fi visuals.
- Shirleon, "It's got good bones."
- Further vampire-lore conversations.
- When an ending promises spectacle but pulls the rug out from under you.
