Lets Watch! The New Mutants

What this episode covers

Acomi and Turk182 strap on inhibitor collars, tattoo their faces, and wait for the Sentinels to come, as they watch 20th Century Fox's The New Mutants. Very loosely based on the Marvel comics series by Chris Claremont, Bob McLeod, and Bill Sienkiewicz.  Using the Demon Bear storyline as the basis of the film, it forces the characters and story to move forward by imprisoning the powerful mutants in a mental institution, referred to as a training facility (that they can't leave). Under the guise of being trained to become members of the X-Men, the characters "bond" in the form of insulting and fighting each other, while learning how to control their powers in the process. All this, so they can fight the psychological Demon Bear, brought to the facility in the mind of the newest patient, Danielle Moonstar.  With only a half of the characters resembling their comic book counterparts, and a story that only resembles the name, prepare to watch another Fox comic book atrocity.  Round up the flatscans and watch The New Mutants.  PS. Hey Fox! I spelled Bob's name right! Acomi and Turk182, along the occasional special guest, provide running commentary of awfulsome movie and TV shows.  The hosts select movies that either one, or both, have never seen.  All jokes and comments are improvised.  NO PREPARED JOKES OR COMMENTS! During recording, the movies are watched at a low volume and with the subtitles on.  Viewers may want to turn subtitles on as well to enhance the viewing experience. So, cue up the audio, ready the movie, and hit play when we say so. Note: This video is the commentary recorded by Acomi and Turk182, and selected screenshots.  It is NOT a viewable copy of the film. The commentary can be enjoyed on its own, but if you want to experience the Let's Watch in all its glory, you'll need your own copy of the movie. Most of the movies viewed can be streamed online for free. #OMTWF #KorovaEntertainment #LetsWatch #LW #Acomi #Turk182 #awfulsome #TheNewMutants #NewMutants #XMen #Marvel #MarvelComics #Mutants #ChrisClaremont #BobMcLeod #BillSienkiewicz Follow Acomi on Twitter at @AcomiDraws and on Instagram at AcomiDraws.
