The Machine is now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital! If you follow Mark Hamill on social media you know how excited he was – and is – for people to watch this film. Sometimes you need a large dose of absurdity in your life, and this film delivers.
I first heard of this film as a guest on a west coast radio show. Someone brought up The Machine and asked if I had a chance to watch it. He claimed it was the best film ever made. Now, I won’t go that far only to say that it is the best film ever made with Mark Hamill that wasn’t in the Star Wars Universe. Fair?
Synopsis: Bert Kreischer rose to fame as a stand-up comedian known as The Machine, and in his signature set he recounts his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. Now, 23 years later, that trip has come back to haunt him as he and his estranged father (Mark Hamill) are kidnapped back to Russia by the mob to atone for something they say he did. Together, Bert and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self (Jimmy Tatro) in the midst of a war within sociopathic crime family, all while attempting to find common ground in their often fraught relationship.
