The "they blew up Congress" has gotten funnier every year since 1996.
It's Sylvia Sidney's laugh after saying it that cracks me up so much.
Jack Nicholson's agent didn't want him being in this movie because he thought it be bad to be in a film in which he is killed off. But Nicholson wanted to be in it. And just to spite his agent, he got killed off twice.
Really shows how disconnected these agents are from reality.
Like in what universe would a moviegoer watch a movie, see an actor get killed on screen, and be like "oh wow he died, I guess he's a bad actor. I'll never watch another movie with him in it ever again!"
Kanye was right.
@@Ziggopotamusyour comment has not age well unless you agree with Kanye
Talking about irony, huh?
Movies that broke the Blind Wave crew:
Eric - Dragon Ball Evolution
Aaron - The Room
Shane - The Star Wars Holiday Special
Calvin - Mars Attacks
Now we just need to see what movie breaks Rick.
Alas given Rick's love of bad movies, I think it might be hard to find one. He didn't seem to enjoy Kingsman I think, but that's about it.
I’m curious what they would think of Sharknado and it’s sequels
If they ever give Titans a movie that will guaranteed break Rick
Maybe Live action Death note movie?
@@bountyhuntyr I actually never saw the Titans series, let alone Blind Wave's reactions to them. Just how much did Rick dislike it?
Don't mess with 90s Burton. He was on a roll!!
Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks, and Sleepy Hollow.
Three of those were either critical or box-office bombs.
@@TheDunnDusted better than his 2000s films though.
Some may have bombed, but they were damn good
You forgot the Nightmare Before Christmas.
@@TwilightLink77 That, Edward Scissorhands, and Mars Attacks were my childhood, (eventhough I wasn't born untill 1999.)
The tone of this movie is absolutely flawless. The actors are all on board, the humor is on point, the aliens look great. Fantastic film!
The commitment to camp is nothing short of cult-like… so good
Right?! This is what movies like Sharknado desperately want to be, but don't even come close. This is played so perfectly earnest, it's amazing.
The aliens Looks more goffy than realistic 💀
i feel that this film suffers the same issue the first Starship Troopers film had - Alot of folks seemed to not realise it was meant to be a satire of 50's B-movies and a sort of "what if they had a much bigger budget how insanely over the top those old films might have been". its like some of you commented thou a very fun cult classic that happy does not take itself seriously at all.
@@mercurioslevin1877 ehh I love Starship Troopers but the satire is so punctuated compared to the rest of the movie which is more market-digestible violent action; not necessarily verHoeven’s fault, but it’s hard to justify the budget for all that stuff and put such a movie if it’s also supposed to be heady satire… he nailed it with Robocop 1, but it’s a narrow lane
As an homage to 1950's style B-movies starring shockingly big A-list actors, Burton absolutely crushed it. This movie is great.
The trading cards this movie is based are demented AF too. The whole doing experiments on humans bit like what they did to both Brosnan and Parker is straight out of the card set.
Yeah, Blind Wave, you need to look up the original Mars Attacks trading cards from the 50's. They were very controversial with parents because of the graphic nature of the drawings of the creepy, skeletal Martians (which the movie reproduced perfectly) and the gory killings and experiments that the Martians performed on their victims. The flying saucers, giant robot, cows on fire, disintegrations of the people and the dog, and the disections, were all in the cards.
@@jimleonard8225 I also love DINSOSAURS ATTACK! card set from Topps.
The close up shots of Eric and Aaron just vibing to Tom Jones are great, lol.
Hell yeah I was vibing too lol
Me too!
*Calvin:* This is ridiculous.

OH MY GOSH
This movie nails the tone it's going for PERFECTLY.
As a kid i was scared of this movie yet i still had a crazy love for it. It's really a special piece of media. You can see they didn't take it seriously and just had fun at every level. I don't think it's a "bad" movie. It's intentionnaly crazy and campy and makes fun of almost every clichés of this kind of story and movies of it's time.
Omg when the alien pretends to be that woman.. her walk always creeped me out lol
i remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was a perfectly serious movie lol, i now realize its absolutely ridiculous and i kinda hate it. But i ll always remember it tho, its unbelivably memorable. i ve seen it like 15 years ago and i remember a bunch of scenes, i saw man of steel 1 year ago i dont remember one scene from it so they had to do something right
This movie freaked the hell out of me too. Pretty sure this movie single-handedly contributed to my phobia of aliens though 😅
So was I. After watching it I did not fall asleep for hours. But now I love it.
My favorite fan theory, I have heard is that there was two teams of Martians and that's why they turned them red and green, kinda like paintball. And they were just seeing who could kill how many and such.
Who won I wonder?
@@gothmogonslaught6851 *we* did
@@cybergeek11235 of the two teams in said theory.
One of the best movies ever made, I’m being serious I miss movies like this.
Absolutely love it.
It's definitely one of those gems that just got lost and forgotten. Like Galaxy Quest. You can watch it a hundred times and you're still happy to get to watch it again.
Love Mars Attacks! I quote that movie at least once a week.
“ACK ACK, ACK AAACK!”
This movie is an infinite meme generator, and I love it.
Mars Attacks gave me nightmares as a kid. Was actually afraid of aliens for most of my childhood because of it. It wasn't until I was an adult that I found out it's a damn comedy, haha.
Same here. I had to destroy the vhs box cover because of those nightmares
I mean, i did know it was a comedy, but still scared me at times
Dude same! When they dressed up as a woman that walk freaked me out lol
Tim Burton: I am going to make the silliest level of stupid-fun sci-fi film you have ever seen.
Most of Hollywood: In, in, in, choose me, I'll do it, hell yes, in-in. 😂
i never knew tim burton directed unitl i saw youre comment this totally out of character for burton!
I didn't think it was physically possible to dislike this movie
This movie has aged so well!
It's definitely gotten better with age for sure.
The fact Tom Jones was in this movie, basically meant all Welsh people were obligated to watch this at release. hahaha
Eh?
@@st0n3p0ny Its because Wales being one of the Nations of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) is often ignored in media in favour of the others, mainly England. So Firstly, its often surprisingly pleasant to see anything Welsh in Film...And Secondly, The fact its the Welsh, who are in fact the Native British. The Welsh are even like it if they ever come across another group of people from Wales on holiday! Its an amazing thing to see.
@@taffyducks544 Tom Jones isn't American?
@@st0n3p0ny Not even the slightest.
@@LexTrent what the... looked it up, apparently he moved to America in the mid 70s when the Labour party was elected and wanted to tax him at 98%.... I guess his European accent should have given it away.
It's based on real life cards by Topps from the early 60s. The crazy artwork was by Norman Saunders who painted the covers of 1930s pulp magazines .
And very graphic they were too. lol
Trading Cards just to clarify
@@Silver-rx1mh True. Those cards are demented as hell. The whole bit with what happened with Brosnan and Parker's characters getting experimented on is a straight homage to those cards. The original trading card set is still highly collectible even now too.
The perfect pastiche/parody mash up of a 1950s B-movie. Pokes fun at everything that it needs to.
All of the bits around the aliens and their communication still make me LOL to this day. This movie is just layers and layers of sarcasm and irony interwoven.
When Byron appears at the end and everyone found out he survived, I remember the theater breaking out into applause. My appreciation of this movie only continues to grow. Loved this reaction!
As this went on, Calvin’s reactions got funnier and funnier. I also loved how much the other three counterbalanced him my absolutely loving it.
They found Calvin's Kryptonite with this movie.
This is one of the best examples of how entertaining a movie can be, of all time.
It is a masterpiece in my opinion.
I remember when this came to Sweden and my family rented it.
Everyone liked it. As a child i loved it.
It has been one of those movies i have watched many, many times over the years. It is a example piece of what i wish more movies would be like.
Calvin: This is ridiculous!
Me: THAT’S THE POINT! 🤣
I havent seen this movie in at least 12 years. I laughed throughout all the reaction.
And I dont think I ever realized Nicholson is in the movie twice
One of my favorite lines of his was when he told Annette Bening: "You're an adult. Just cope." I cracked up at that so much. I use that whenever someone I know starts having a moment.
Interesting category there for actors who don't get credit because they were so good that people don't realize they played multiple parts. Same thing happened in Kill Bill. Nobody realizes the cop at the beginning was also Esteban Vijeho near the end. So the man received zero credit for it.
I don’t care what anybody says! This is a great movie! I know this movie is used as a joke for people that starred in it, but everyone is freakin fantastic! I love the acting, I love the affects, and I love the comedy!
The ending of this film is amazing. Seriously, every movie should end with Tom Jones with an eagle on his arm singing "It's Not Unusual." Also, second best part is when the grandma says, "They blew up Congress!" I laughed so damn hard at that part the first time I saw this and it's still hilarious even now.
This is possibly one of the best movies ever made.
Its actually crazy how packed this movie is with big names.
I just watched this for the first time last week and loved it! Loved this reaction. Calvin seems to have been very unsure but talked himself into loving it as well. LOL
So, these are the movies each person couldn’t believe they were watching and struggled through:
Eric: Dragonball Evolution.
Aaron: The Room.
Shane: Star Wars Holiday Special.
Rick: *nothing yet*
But now, Calvin has Mars Attacks.
I LOVE this movie. It’s so stupid, it’s so campy. It’s perfect!
If memory serves,this came out about the same time as Independence Day and I preferred this one waaaay more because it was just complete insanity.
Sadly this one bombed at the box office but it's a cult hit now.
@@alucard624Tim Burton got interviewed that he said it’s like a MAD Magazine version of Independence Day. But they’re both great sci-fi movies in that year.
One of the best B movie horror comedies ever.
Reminds me of Friday the 13th with Jason and cheesy dialogue. 😊
It is a crime that we never got a sequel - "Tom Jones: Beastmaster".
When I was 12, my teacher took whole class to see this in cinema. We had absolute blast watching it. Good times
I wish I was in your class to see this. 😂
I always loved how DONE Jack Nicholson looks with everything by the end.
Good God I love Mars Attacks… 😂
"how do any of them still have any careers?"- Calving lol
Calvin’s face when Tom Jones showed up is priceless.
Do you know Galaxy Quest? I think after you've done Mars Attacks, now you should do Galaxy Quest next :P
I can't unsee Frank Reynolds when Danny DeVito plays a role in any movie.
Considering Calvin appreciates British camp, maybe he'd like this more on repeated viewings, especially with friends. That's how I learned to love a lot of cult classics. Because this is like, Hollywood camp.
Mars Attacks is so crazy I love it
Curious to know if they have or plan on watching Galexy Quest, great Alan Rickman film.
Ok so.
Eric: Dragonball Evolution
Aaron: The Room
Rick: Kingsmen: Secret Service
Calvin: Mars Attacks
Shane: Star Wars Holiday Special
Do we have all of them?
Now we need Birdemic for all of them.
Let's see...
Power
Reality
Mind
Space
Time
Nope, we still need Soul Plane.
@@WraithWTF Which one the original or the RiffTrax version?
@@TwilightLink77 always the original...the RiffTrax versions are only for after you've experienced the original.
I'm a simple man. I see MARS ATTACKS! and I click on it.
Whenever anyone says "I watched this once as a kid" it makes me feel old as I'd forgotten that I am old.
This is legit my favorite Tim Burton movie lol
I saw this in theaters when it came out, and I absolutely loved it.
Me too.
I forgot good ol Jim Brown (the greatest NFL running in history) was in this movie
I thought that this movie was pretty funny, but Calvin's reaction was pure gold. His profound pain at viewing this was pure comedy gold in my book. :D
Mars attacks is a classic
My favorite Tim Burton movie ever, everything about this is perfect.
This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies ever and I love Shane's reaction to the missile helium voice presidency that was perfect.
One of my favorite movies, so glad y'all reacted to it! I don't know why Calvin was so exasperated, though. This movie is fantastic!
This was one of those movies that was on cable all the time so I caught it so many times. It wasn’t until I was like 18 or 19 that I realized how insane it is lmao
They used to show it all the time on TBS and TNT back in the day from what I remember.
Rod Steiger won Best Actor for "In The Heat Of The Night." Also this movie was based on trading cards from the 1960's. They are collector's items now. And VERY expensive.
Lisa Marie also plays Vampira in Ed Wood, which is another movie the gang should watch
Such an awesome alien invasion movie. It has fantastic humor but also some tense moments
This IS a dark comedy where there's graphic deaths.
I have no idea what Calvin’s problem is. I just watched this movie for the first time before watching this reaction, and it was great!
Calvin's likes: saying "oh my gosh"
Calvin's dislikes: great movies
Whoever added that J6 clip was smooth lol that was great
That was hilarious. Calvin’s Reaction was GOLDEN!
I loved this movie when I was a kid, I always wanted one of their ray guns
It's quirky-absurdist fun... with an incredible score by Danny Elfman.
My friend and I went to see this in the theater in our early 20's. There were about 50 other people in the theater and when the Martians started talking we laughed so hard we were crying. We looked around and we were the only ones laughing and that made us laugh even harder. They must have thought we were nuts.
I like to think of this as Tim Burton’s attempt, immediately following Ed Wood, at making an Ed Wood-style movie. And he absolutely nailed it.
I also definitely think the actors just really wanted to work with him. It says a lot about his rapport with actors that so many of them have worked with him multiple times.
Jim Brown showing old man strength.
1:01:37 Eric is never gonna let Calvin forget 🤣
The single most underrated Tim Burton movie of all time.
It's an old story - Boy meets Girl, gets kidnapped by martians, and crash as their decapitated heads declare their love and kiss each other. Greatest love story ever told!
My dad and I used to watch this together every weekend. It was on VHS and our player broke and we couldn’t watch it anymore. Great movie!
One of my favorite bits of trivia from this movie is that Jeff Dunham used a pair of the martians' prop eyes for his character Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

Please do reactions to more tim burton films, batman 89', batman returns, big fish, sleepy hollow
You're dancing to tom jones was AMAZIN, i almost died laughing
I’ve watch this movie when i was 9-10 years old, i remember being so scared of it at that time, but now its literally funny, and its the first movie i watched, since that day i was trying to remember the title, then i watch your reaction to it and from the sound of the martians I remembered.
So thank u guys for this 🤍.
Tim Burton was/is a unique filmmaker. His visual style is amazing.
How u guys are not at 1 million subscribers still baffles me. Learned that word from several tv shows and movies. Yall my favorites and the best
Watching Eric and Aaron groove out to Tom Jones was worth the reaction alone
So Calvin hates Mars Attacks because it's unrealistic, but anything with space wizards, he'll love and analyse like it's Shakespeare?
Sometimes I feel like they pick one of themselves to get unreasonably upset during their reactions lol
One of the best casts in movie history, and for this insanity lmao
Mars Attacks is a great example of entertainment factor being more relevant then making perfect sense. If you can have both, great; if you have to focus on one, you know what needs to be done.
i swear the 1990s was the greatest decade for movies there was nothing like them and nothing can beat them.
Truly some of the best films to date, it was a good time to be a kid
*I’m surprised* so many people don’t know the context behind this movie. This film is Tim Burton’s giant homage to Ed Wood’s bad movies of the 1950s. The really bad cheesy 50s alien B-movies you watch at Drive-Ins. Tim Burton had just made “Ed Wood” 2 years before this and had done a ton of research on him for the movie and wanted to make his next one a homage to him, his movies, and that era of science fiction movies. The name and design of the aliens came from the 1960s Topps trading card called Mars Attacks!
Fun fact about this movie: The explosion of the tower building Jack Nicholson’s secondary character owns was a real building and a real implosion.
I’ve lived in Vegas my whole life, and vividly remember when they were shooting here and it was big talk that they would be using the upcoming implosion of the old Landmark tower for part of the upcoming movie. I was so excited to see all of the spectacle related to the film.
You can watch the original non-film version of the implosion online if you just search for the Landmark Hotel
This has been one of mine and my dad's favorite films for the longest time. We quote it and people think we're nuts, and I love that you reacted to it.
I always forget this is Tim Burton because it's so different.
Love the movie Mars Attacks because it's so way out there, lol.
Man I haven't seen this movie in ages. I forgot how funny it was! What a hell of a cast.
Someone get Calvin to watch something like The Andromeda Strain - he needs some hard sci-fi fast, I think.
I love The Andromeda Strain, but I think they need to watch Earth vs. The Flying Saucers in order to gain some insight into what Tim Burton was both homaging and spoofing.
The general in sungalasses is Rod Steiger. He's also in "Dr. Strangelove".
I love this film! It was great watching it with you again
I remember being traumatized as a kid, by the aliens just vaporizing people. Went back to it when I was a few years older and just dying from how funny the movie was.
We don't have enough movies like this.
I was the same way and now my favorite scene is them vaporizing Congress.
Eric and Aaron are living their best lives!!
God I love this movie, it is SOO over the top, plays off of every trope and cliché in the genre and does it MASTERFULLY!!! Tim Burton is just a total master of his craft. To this day whenever my daughter or mother annoy me I go straight to Martian speak!! Knaaack naaac nyaak naaak!!!
Written and directed by Tim Burton starring Earth as it gets invaded by a horde of Martians
Calvins face and sounds are just gold during the movie.. love it!
Yesssss! I love this film, I always enjoy this film along with Galaxy Quest, Evolution and Tremors =)
I also enjoy the fact it's based on a 1962 card game.
The signer that was killing the Martians was from a real song from Slim Whitman
