RIP TP, I'll never forget all the times I listened to your music in my dad's truck.

Bad mumps is when a boy gets mumps during the adolecence, causing testicular inflamation resulting in infertility. My uncle had it. That's why when the vaccine was created, boys were prioritised. Just like with rubella, girls were prioritised. Getting rubella during pregnancy causes birth defect so mother having immunity is vital. My brother-in-law is blind because Rubella. I'm 40, these diseases aren't as far in the past as people think. Effective Mumps vaccine became properly available during the 1960's. Costner was born in 1955. It probably never occured to him that people wouldn't know mumps causes infertility.

In Costner's defence, Dances with Wolves may have gone overbudget, but not at an outrageous cost like Heaven's Gate or Waterworld. It was greenlit at $15 million dollars and Costner brought it in for $22 million. So it was still a fairly inexpensive production.

Kevin Costner is one of those actors who seems good as long as he looks the part. When he was young, he looked like a Naval officer hence he was monocromatically good in" No Way Out". As he got older he looks weathered enough to play a hill person, cowboy etc. He can't perform a role he has to disappear in. And one thing he can't seem to get rid of: he's got a look in his eyes and a slight smirk that lets everyone know he is doing you a fucking favor by letting you look at him. Love your channel!!!

It still angers me that Goodfellas didn't win any of the big Oscars apart from Best Supporting Actor for Joe Pesci and Dances With Wolves got all the praise. Kevin can make good films, he just gets WAY too ambitious with them. I also like his acting, wooden as it may be.

The Postman came out on Christmas Day 1997 and was DESTROYED by critics (Rotten Tomatoes score - 8%) and audiences (made $20 million against its $80 million budget) for its pretentiousness and being overly long. It was nominated for, and “won”, 5 Razzies for: • Worst Picture - The Postman • Worst Director - Kevin Costner • Worst Actor - Kevin Costner • Worst Screenplay - Brian Helgeland (he also won the Oscar for the L.A. Confidential screenplay the same year and accepted the Razzie in person) and Eric Roth • Worst Original Song - The Entire Song Score But, despite this, Costner still defends this movie with all of his heart and spirit saying this: "I always thought it was a really good movie! I always thought I probably started it wrong. I should have said something like “once upon a time.” Because it was just like a modern-day fairy tale - it wraps itself up with a storybook ending with the statue. You know, I thought it was a pretty funny movie set against the idea of a Superman - somebody stepping up. But in this case, it’s a very humble guy who's nothing but a liar [laughs] - delivers mail and burns half of it just to stay alive. So, I like the movie."

I think that narration for wolves is just fine. It's a soldier talking so he is very monotone and very direct and to the point. It makes sense he talks like that.

I think "Testament" was when Costner lost his apocalyptic film theme virginity. If you haven't seen "Testament", do it. It's chilling.

No JoJo references to be found here!

16:43 you could dump the whole review and just put this brilliant statement, spoken with perfect articulation, on a loop for 10 hours straight.

The Only thing funny in this movie is Tom Petty and that Ringo Starr as President joke. Because The Beatles and Tom Petty are Awesome. Also, "Poor Kevin Cosner, he tried so hard." - Lisa Simpson. I was born in 1997 tho.

Honestly, I really like the themes of this movie; the postal service serving as a resurrection of the fallen government and order, bringing faith and purpose to the community, as well as symbolising communication and community over intolerance and chaos? Yes please

Fallout New Vegas the movie.

This is not a good remake of Il Postino, or a good prequel to The Postman Always Rings Twice.

NC briefly mentioned The Postman in his Waterworld review once. I never saw The Postman, and now I see why.

Costner's fetish comes up in waterworld too, some guy offers him his daughter or whatever

The "Bad Mumps" is a super strain of Mumps that kills off the other Mumps and gains their powers. So by the time this guy got the Bad Mumps, he was more or less infected by The Kurgan of Bad Mumps. Now, the only way to counteract the Bad Mumps is with infection by the aforementioned Good Mumps. The Good Mumps fight the Bad Mumps for ultimate bodily Mumps Supremacy. Now, there can be only one Mumps. Should The Good Mumps win, then you just become sterile, that and you can either read everybody's mind at the same time or none at all. But the Good Mumps will let you pick once. Should The Bad Mumps win...you go blind and everything you eat tastes like pennies. I hope this clarifies the Mumps debacle. No need to thank me. I'm just doing Kevin Costner's work for him, because that bastard clearly refuses to do it himself.

Hate to tell you this, but 25 years ago "bad mumps" aka "testicular inflamation caused by mumps" was considered common knowledge. It was one of the best known causes for male infertility.

I kind of liked the idea of nobody remembering the Beatles well enough to say, "Richard Starkey? That's Ringo Starr's real name!"

Nobody knew that John Bonham was Led Zeppelin's drummer, until his sudden death, when the band stopped touring cold turkey.

Best 3 word critique: Dances With Post

Liked just for the warning message.

when you get done with the project or if it's your 200 episode, Will you review "AFTER", it's basically like Fifty shades of grey, but it's a teen drama and it's based on a fanfiction of Harry Styles.

Do it ( _After_ ) emperor Smeghead- _DO IT!_

To be fair, could they do a surrogate father clinically in a post-apocalyptic world? Sean didn't mention they had any kind of medical equipment to make that method possible. I also don't know the process of surrogate impregnation so maybe you don't need fancy equipment to do it, but ethical issues aside, it makes sense to me why direct sex would be the only way to do it.

This is a documentary on mail-in voting

Did anybody get the pun that probably was unintentional. The Postman in a "Post" apocalypse America. Anyway I live in Oregon so no jokes.

This film was ahead of its time

How RiffTrax hasn't covered the Postman or Lady in the Water yet is mind-boggling to me.

Funny how both movies are ridiculous and self-indulgent messes.

When David Lynch disowned 'Dune' it was then credited with 'Alan Smithee' the literal subject of the next review. Now I'm not even sure if you'll take on 'Dune' from 1984 due to a new adaptation to arrive soon, regardless if it' safe for cinemas to open. I haven't been to the cinema since March and I'm still nervous about when they'll still be open.

RIP Tom Petty. Yet another Floridian killed by opiods.

Awesome. Love these KZreadrs.

You say you have no idea why Kevin Costner was nominated for best actor for Dances With Wolves. What do you expect from the same organisation that didn't give best picture to Goodfellas and best director to Martin Scorsese for Goodfellas.

Yeah, he's directed more bad films, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Casino, Kundun, Silence, than Kevin Costner has directed, TOTAL.

Subbed because of the awesome review and the PSA at the beginning.

I like spam. Especially eggs, bacon, toast and spam.

You have to hand it to Costner. He's been in movies, big budget movies for nearly 40 years, and he STILL can't act. You would think, with all that practice, he would have improved at least a little. Nope. Consistently terrible.

Alan Smithee (1969-1998) was a filmmaker, born and raised in Hollywood, who was infamous for making terrible movies. Tune in next episode of Cinematic Excrement, where The Smeghead will review the movie... ...that killed Alan Smithee.

I honestly didn't know people regarded this as a bad movie. I enjoyed it.

One of my guiltiest of movie pleasures.

lol if it seems wild that the postal service would be so active in making the new government then you need to refresh your revolutionary war history knowledge

8:34 when he started with "Now the interesting thing about all this" I thought he was going to end with "is NOTHING!" 😂

I liked this movie until the end when everything went back to normal. The lion makes sense to me. Zoos exist now and if the world goes to shit the animals might could escape.

I way the whole thing. It's boring pace is kinda relaxing.

Your work makes me happy.

OH GOD THE NEXT REVIEW, FINALLY

Mumps do indeed cause sterility. Another great video, absolutely loving this series.

Oh Kevin,I want to like you. Dance with wolves and JFK are two of my favorite films. Hell,i´ll defend Wolves to the grave for winning best picture over Goodfellas. But this...This is some uncanny valley of stupidity.

Its GOTDAMN dull and mundane.

It was distracting that the costumes looked like they were single-source designed and color coordinated - a friend said they were from “The Gap Post-Apocalypse Collection”

Richard Starkey is Ringo Starr of the Beatles real name. That's probably a nudge.

I literally said "Yes..." when I got this notification. :D

You owe Kevin Costner an apology! LOL!

I remember seeing this movie back in '98 when it came out on home video. At the time, 2013 was fifteen years away and as ridiculous as much of the film's content is, the movie did scare me, because I knew that the events that lead up to and go on in the main story could really happen. I knew it was fictional, but the bad guys were so imposing and it would really be scary to see what they do happen in real life in a country with no government. Hopefully the tensions that have gone on this year won't lead America going in that kind of direction. Because how ridiculous a lot of the film's content was, along with how imposing the antagonists were, I wanted for a long time to see this film get a comedic review and commend Smeghead for doing one. There were so many things he said that I agreed with, but I'm surprised that he didn't given any mention of the David Brin book. People who have read it say that it's much better than the film and I think that Smeghead could've had a lot to say about it. I think sometime in the future, he should do a re-edit of this episode and talk about Brin's story.

Could you take a look at After Last Season (2009)?
