23

I'll be honest about this in that it's been years since I've seen this movie and I am a bit biased but I want to talk about this movie from my childhood that no one seems to remember so that's what I'm going to do.

YouTube in the mid to late 00s was a very different place to what it is today. It was less about information designed to divide and conquer politics and more the sort of stuff that would be called "charming amateur with a camcorder" vibes today. For what many can say of YouTube channels that have survived until now (in memory or they just ARE still uploading) Evil Iguana was the YouTube channel that got me into YouTube.

Their videos were comedic in nature (my favourite being their trilogy of Christmas specials), however what they did the most often and really well was trailer spoofs. They were most well known for satirizing The Dark Knight and Twilight series when they came out. This movie was an attempt to go full circle and make a movie parody of the show 24.

I need to give that context because even as a fan, I want to say that if you're looking for a movie which prioritizes cinematic storytelling and introspection, this isn't your movie. Do you want to see a group of online dweebs (a term I'm using with affection) being VERY silly for an hour and a half and just do what they can to make you laugh (by the standards of 2010 internet humor), this is the movie for you. This is a movie where terrorists target Burger Kings for the sake of being stiffed 15 cents. It's that kind of silly.

If you're questioning why I haven't seen this movie in years it's that it's no longer on YouTube anymore and I can't find an archive of it. This is just my attempts at documenting this movie how I remember it. I give it 7 because, while at the time I saw it I would've probably given 10 or 9, I can't be sure how well it's aged. That and I acknowledge that the entertainment value for this movie might not be what it was all those years ago.

If you can somehow find a copy, check it out if anything I've said interests you.
