Make You Cry July comes to an end with a surprisingly fun treat of a movie. So bad it’s good, perhaps?!

Street Fighter (1994)
On today’s episode, we discuss a movie based off of one of the most popular video game franchises of the 90s. A movie with a script that was so disposable that it was rewritten or thrown away daily on set and many of us still aren’t sure what the plot is. JCVD did everything he could to tank the movie, while Raul Julia is quite possibly the only saving grace, despite being his last role prior to passing away. Make you cry July continues with 1994’s Street Figher! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:15 - Pertinent movie details •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:42:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****NordVPN- Grab your EXCLUSIVE eal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!

Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Make you Cry July starts off with an absolute bang. This movie was Stephen King's first and only attempt at directing a movie and the critics didn't like it. Stephen himself hated it. But here we are almost 40 years later, dissecting one of the best bad movies ever made. It caused an irrational fear of soda machines, lawn mowers, drawbridges, trucks and drain pipes.

On today’s episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars.
