I've spent a lot of my time watching and reviewing Addison Binek's work. That's not a bad thing. In fact, it's far from it. He has spent a lot of time and energy in his long running YouTube series Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon and I enjoy getting in the different collections for review. He has released several over the years ranging from a few of the Shark collections, zombies and cannibals, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Troma. Sometime ago he sent over a collection simply titled Volume 1 and a few weeks back I received Volume 2 in for review. After finishing the Troma Edition release, it only made sense to spin this one and check it out. I want to thank Addison for sending this one along for review!
In this collection we once again follow host Addison Binek as he watching some horrible and not so horrible films while delivering witty one liners.
Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon Volume 2 is a solid collection of episodes ranging from cult classics to modern day misses and everything in between. Like with the other Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon, this isn't going to be for everyone but fans of puns and one liners may appreciate Binek and his brand of humor. The acting in this one is more like a stand up comedy routine than it is traditional acting. Binek is a one man show that seems to be enjoying himself in front of the camera. While it's not acting in a traditional sense, he still gets into his horror host character and delivers the jokes with his flair. The themes and set up for each episodes corresponds with the film he is riffing. What we have is some 90s nostalgia, 60s schlock, and classic drive-in era monster madness with some funny, and not so funny puns. A lot of the humor finds it's mark but a few jokes do fall a bit flat. Finally, this is a no budget production. We have some scenes from the film spliced in with Binek's segments. While he doesn't bring any blood and gore to the series, the films he riffs does offer some of the red stuff or some cheap visuals. Overall, Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon Volume 2 is another entertaining collection of episodes from the unusual mind of Addison Binek. This is not going to be for everyone but those within this niche will truly appreciate it. Check it out.
