For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is The Long Walk (2025), a dystopian thriller adapted from Stephen King’s 1979 novel of the same name. In a fascist 1970s America, a group of teenage boys are forced to join an annual death-march contest, in which they all walk themselves to death until only a single contestant survives. Pretty much The Hunger Games, but for walking. Fittingly, the director, Francis Lawrence, helmed four of the five Hunger Games movies. Solid reviews for this, so let’s give it a whirl.

BONUS: between the slop, we will have a kino interlude, featuring Kenneth Anger's 14-minute surreal gay art film Fireworks (1947). Looks pretty neat.

After that is Baby Assassins: Nice Days (2024), the sequel to Baby Assassins (2021) and Baby Assassins: 2 Babies (2023), both of which we previously watched. It is a Japanese action-comedy about a pair of high-school girls who are both secretly assassins who are forced to shack up together while they make ends meet with odd jobs, all while avoiding the yakuza. This time around, the girls decide to go to a seaside resort town for a vacation, but uh-oh, an elite assassin is on their tail, forcing them into action once again. Will they kick even more butt this time? I guess we’ll find out, after a whole lot of blood, gore, and silly antics. Director Yugo Sakamoto returns from the first two films. This is generally considered the best entry of the trilogy.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
