Acomi and Turk182 decide to visually flog themselves to cleanse the horrible movies they've watched from their heads. After reading Dave Holmes' negatively glowing review in Esquire magazine, the two decided that that The Book of Henry (2017) couldn't possibly do what Legend of the Rollerblade Seven, Things 5, or City of the Living Dead failed to accomplish. They were wrong. So very, very wrong.
Sorry, we doubted you, Dave.
With a plot that is too quirky and heartfelt for The Lifetime Channel, and too intellectual for The Hallmark Channel, The Book of Henry finds its niche like a texture glitch in a video game. Waiting for some player to get too close, and get trapped in a small crevice between graphic layers. Seeing every level of the game at once, but unable to free yourself from the madness.
When the smartest boy in the world (the world consisting of one small town trapped under a dome on an asteroid spinning wildly into the vast reaches of space) learns that his female classmate and neighbor are being abused by their stepfather, he tries to help. But, when he is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (that he knew he had - he's the smartest kid, duh!), that he didn't know he had until the doctor told him he had it. Blinding headaches that induce seizures, must be allergy season. He concocts a brilliant plan, to be carried out after his death, that is so convoluted it makes Ocean's 11 look like 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Join Acomi and Turk as they try to unravel the mystery of how this movie got made, and marvel at how a movie so bad didn't get a sequel. The Book of Henry II - The Next Chapter. "Henry's got a list. Pray you aren't on it."
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 is commentary recorded by Acomi and Turk182. 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.
