Ep. 215 – Mars Attacks
In 1996, a movie hit theatres that posed the question, “what if an alien species invaded Earth with the sole purpose of total annihilation”. It delved into everything from alien autopsies, cities being leveled and average citizens rising up and overcoming the odds to find an Earth-borne solution to stopping the attack. There was also…
Ep. 214 – Man-Thing
It is a work of cinematic genius. A superhero film that both defines and defies the genre. Its very presence changes everything you ever thought you knew about live action Marvel films and puts every other title to shame. And, if you believe that, I have some swamp land in Australia to sell you. I’m…
Ep. 213 – Kraven The Hunter
Have you ever lent someone something and when they return it, it’s not in the condition you lent it to them? Feels a little like the Spider-verse, and Sony didn’t play nicely with Marvel’s toys. Well, drink some lion blood for the last kicking of the Spidey-can as we look to see if Kraven The…
Ep. 212 – Police Academy: Mission To Moscow
What a long, strange trip it’s been. Seven movies in the franchise, all 7 qualified, and now all 7 have been covered. Let’s pop open a bottle of vodka and pour one out for the popo, it’s time to wrap up our Police Academy extravaganza with a mission to Moscow. Let’s see if the 7th…
Ep. 211 – Police Academy 6: City Under Siege
Vacation’s over, time to get back to work. The Police Academy franchise leaves the sunny climes of Miami Beach to return to clean up the mean streets. But, can getting back to basics get viewers back to the screens? Is it more a city under siege, or just our ability to find funny in the…
Ep. 210 – Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach
There’s nothing like taking a vacation in a warm and sunny location. It’s refreshing, rejuvenating and a great way to shake off the cobwebs of the day to day. Can the same be said for a franchise that was one bad joke away from feeling like it was put under house arrest? Find out if…
Ep. 209 – Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol
It’s one thing to say that the Police Academy movies were products of their time in the 80’s. But if you ask me, the idea of a municipally funded public service being outsourced to unqualified, unprepared and non-unionized workers while the rank and file kick back and collect a paycheck is some serious forward thinking.…
Ep. 208 – Police Academy 3: Back In Training
Everyone loves a little friendly competition, and a healthy rivalry can bring out the best in everyone. It can also bring about the flogging of a dead horse, as this franchise looks to head back to the halls of academia. Have they learned their lesson, or are they doomed to miss the mark? Time to…
Ep. 207 – Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment
The transition from post-secondary education to life in the real world can be an interesting time. You go from learning to working, from studying to earning a living…and if you happen to graduate from a certain Academy, you go from terrorizing lieutenants to terrorizing watch commanders. Grab your backpacks and kevlar, it’s time for our…
Ep. 206 – Police Academy
There are numerous examples of movies from the 80’s that people could point to that explain why Gen X-ers are built differently. One of those is the film that started a franchise of many many movies, making many many jokes at the expense of many, many marginalized groups that would get many, many complaints if…
Ep. 205 – Barely Lethal
You ever have those days at work where your boss is like “kill this guy” or “topple this regime” and all you wanna do is kick back, watch Mean Girls and think about who’s going to ask you to prom? No? Well you would if your co-workers included Kate Bishop and Jean Grey. Time to…
Ep. 204 – Avengers Grimm
Once upon a time, Disney adapted multiple fairy tales found in the works of the Brothers Grimm. Many decades later, they would buy Marvel Studios and adapt their comic books. Now, let’s take the two and combine them into a bastard love baby that shows genes from both but is it’s on horror to behold.…
Ep. 203 – Snakes On A Train
Normally, I’d say that travel by train can be calm, relaxing and a great way to take in the scenery of the land. Just make sure that when you buy your ticket, you upgrade so you don’t find yourself riding alongside a bunch of venomous, murderous and hungry snakes. You’ll thank me later…for that and…
Ep. 202 – Road Wars: Max Fury
Mocktober continues, and things are getting furious this week. Will we survive this trip to a relatively civilized post-apocalyptic wasteland? Is this movie a wild ride or a simple Sunday drive? Find out as we look to see if Road Wars: Max Fury is not that bad.
Ep. 201 – Almighty Thor
Have you ever been to the grocery store and wanted a Coke, but you didn’t have enough money and opted for the cheaper store brand, thinking “it’s a cola, how different can it be”? Well, that very same situation was given to movie goers around the world…with the MCU serving up a Coke, and The…
Ep. 200 – The 365 Days Trilogy
They say that whatever happens on vacation stays on vacation. But, what if your vacation involves a trip to Sicily and being inspired by Fifty Shades Of Grey? The end result is a trilogy of films that tries to add the X to Netflix while seeking to find how low the bottom of the barrel…
Ep. 199 – Atlantic Rim
There are a few certainties when it comes to filmmaking…big robots are cool and big giant monsters are cool. Throw in some rock ’em, sock em action between the two and some collateral damage to nearby buildings and you’ve got yourself a good time…or do you? Find out as we attempt to see if Atlantic…
Ep. 198 – Snoop Dogg’s Hood Of Horror
No matter what generation you fall into, everyone has an anthology series or movie they can remember. From The Twilight Zone to Creepshow, The Outer Limits to Electric Dreams…they are iconic. But, can one anthology movie, hosted by an iconic figure of modern pop culture put the izzle in sizzle…or fizzle? Find out as we…
Ep. 197 – Suck
It’s generally accepted that Canadians are universally known to be exceptionally polite. We make saying sorry an Olympic sport. Heck, we’re even sorry about being sorry. But, is a Canadian rock band made up of bloodsucking vampires also polite? Find out as we attempt to see if Suck is not that bad. While it’s not…
Ep. 196 – Vamps
New York…the city that never sleeps. Home to Times Square, the best nightlife on the east coast, and apparently the tastiest rats around. What better place for two of the nicest, human-friendly vampires to ever grace the silver screen. Throw some dirt in your coffin and settle in as we look to see if Vamps…
Ep. 195 – Rockula
In Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat, a legendary vampire rises from the grave and joins a rock and roll band in hopes of being reunited with those he loves. This is not that story. Instead, we get a story about a vampire with a serious case of the Groundhog Days singing songs that will make…
Ep. 194 – The Pirate Movie
Shiver me timbers! It’s time to set sail on a musical adventure that can only be described as “Gilbert & Sullivan’s coke-fueled out-of-body fever dream come to life”. Can this blunder from down under stay afloat amidst the multitude of musicals, or will it sink under the weight of its own 80’s truckload of cheese?…
Ep. 193 – Babylon
It’s no surprise that Hollywood likes to toot its own horn in the quest for Oscar attention. But, can a marathon-length film filled with award-winning actors, written and directed by an Oscar winner and loaded with more bodily fluids than a medical instructional video find Oscar glory? Or, will it fall victim to its own…
Ep. 192 – Rat Race
Let me ask you…what would you do for $2 million? If your answer includes something along the lines of car jacking, property damage, vehicular carnage, bovine aviation or desecration of the human anatomy…congratulations, you’re perfect for the job. So saddle up for Silver City as we race to see if Rat race is not that…
Ep. 191 – Josie & The Pussycats
Warning: the following podcast you are about to listen to contains subliminal messaging. Josie & The Pussycats is the greatest mock rock movie of all time. The soundtrack is killer and should be played at maximum volume. This podcast is amazing. You also want to buy our merch. Okay…it’s not that subliminal. Regardless, we’re here…
Ep. 190 – Conan The Barbarian (2011)
Since 1932, the character of Conan The Barbarian has graced the pages of novels and comic books, entered homes through TV screens and been adapted for cinema. Some of it has been stellar while others…not so much. Can Jason Momoa make this Cimmerian sizzle…or will he put the bore in Hyborian? Find out as we…
Ep. 189 – The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time
What a long, strange trip it’s been. After 4 weeks of bad puns, bad CGI, gratuitous cameos and more Star Wars puns than Patton Oswalt doing standup, we have reached the very end of the road. What better way to celebrate Shark Week than to give this nado one last spin. It’s time to see…
Ep. 188 – Sharknado 5: Global Swarming
It’s fair to say that no other TV movie franchise has ever taken the world by storm quite like the Sharknado films. So, it was only a matter of time until the franchise brought the storms to the rest of the world. Cancel your vacation plans, because Fin Shepard and crew are trekking the world…
Ep. 187 – Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens
Logic dictates that when swimming, if sharks appear, one should quickly get out of the water. But we’re talking Sharknado, so when sharks appear, one should quickly grab a beverage, some snacks and a spot on the couch, because you’re going to be ambushed by an onslaught of bad puns, worse CGI and a whole…
Ep. 186 – Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No
In 2013, one film showed us that it’s okay to be really good at being really bad. People will sing your praises and glorify your goofiness. It’s okay to not be okay…until, of course, you turn jumping the shark into an Olympic sport. Grab a chainsaw and machine gun, it’s time to begin a 4…
Ep. 185 – Three Amigos
Take 3 of the funniest sketch com actors of the 70’s and 80’s, throw in one of the biggest directors of the 80’s and top it off with the producer of the most important property of television comedy. If we’ve learned anything during our time on this show, it’s that 1+1+1 doesn’t always equal success.…
Ep. 184 – Mega Python vs Gatoroid
If you haven’t been paying attention for the last 4 years, we wear our love of “bad” movies on our sleeve. We revel in that which the critics deem inferior. So, when the good people at The Asylum serve up the singer-songwriter smackdown of the century, what more can we say? I know we’re not…
Ep. 183 – Clash Of The Titans (2010)
In 1981, Clash Of The Titans hit theatres and enthralled many a viewer, thanks to the amazing stop-motion work done by legend Ray Harryhausen. In 2010, technology had caught up and was finally able to meet the needs of a movie of such fantastical proportions. The acting…well that’s up for debate. Stare not into your…
Ep. 182 – Atlas
You know that “suggested for you” section in Netflix. It is created by AI and it can say a lot about you, especially when you host a podcast about bad movies. So when the algorithm tells you that you need to watch a movie that has rock em sock em robots, Jenny from the block…
Ep. 181 – BASEketball
How many times have you turned on a sports channel and found yourself watching a game where your first thought is, “that’s not a sport”? Looking at you, poker and darts. Now, enter the world of a game made up by two drunken idiots and played by drunken idiots in a movie about to be…
Ep. 180 – Robot Jox
1990 was a wild, interesting time. The Cold War was nearing an end, the Berlin Wall was torn down, and people were still playing Battletech and Transformers. So, throw all of that into a giant blender, throw in some rah-rah corny dialogue and some robot combat that makes you actually appreciate the Pacific Rim sequel…
Ep. 179 – Renfield
Raise your hand if you can relate…you’re stuck in a thankless job, catering to the every whim and want of your unfeeling, uncaring boss who demands your fealty 24/7 and doesn’t care if you try to develop a life outside of your work. Now, throw in a cavalcade of dismemberment and a diet that would…
Ep. 178 – Antitrust
We all know computers are listening to everything we say and do. Just one search for “granola bar” will trigger a flood of sponsored ads about cereal, drinking establishments and oat-based beverages to drink while out. So, what better way to fuel our paranoia than to watch a film about a tech CEO violating all…
Ep. 177 – The Electric State
Take the directors of 2 of the highest grossing films of all time, add in the star of the highest grossing video game movie of all time and the star of one of the most watched Netflix series of all time and put them into one of the most expensive movies ever made. What do…
Ep. 176 – The Cat In The Hat
What could be worse than a human made up to look like a cat in a film with no plot, a few songs to sing and so much senseless insanity that you find yourself screaming at the TV to stop being a bad movie? Not much…but at least it’s not Cats, the musical. No, this…
Ep. 175 – Star Trek Generations
Movies…the final frontier. This is the first voyage of the crew of the Next Generation cast. Their mission, to boldly go where the other cast went before and attempt to make odd numbers not suck. Did they succeed? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that Star Trek: Generations is not that bad.…
Ep. 174 – The Lord Of The Rings (1978)
Remember the days when you knew you were going to have a good school day because the movie player got wheeled in? Well if you are of a certain age, the movie player may mean 2 hours of a deranged, violent, potentially-not appropriate adaptation of a literary classic that your teacher had zero desire to…
Ep. 173 – G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra
The 80’s were absolutely the peak era when it came to Saturday morning having the cartoons for the toys that we all wanted to have and play with. Then, the 2000’s decided they wanted to cash in on all that nostalgia, and threw up a ton of CGI messes on to the silver screen. We…
Ep. 172 – Fifty Shades Of Grey
Hollywood has long been known for taking books full of rich characters, deep complex storylines and loyal fan bases and turning them into cheap celluloid imitations. Even the people behind Coles Notes do better jobs of retelling the plot lines. But, it can be hard to translate a good book to the screen. So how…
Ep. 171 – Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania
For 11 years, Marvel was EVERYTHING in the theatres. The MCU redefined the superhero movie and franchise. Often imitated, never duplicated, it was the juggernaut that could not be stopped. So what happened? Find out as we step into the Quantum Realm to see if Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania is not that bad.
Ep. 170 – New Year’s Eve
December 31st…it’s a time of hope, wonder, change and enlightenment. It’s when bad times can come to an end and make way for new beginnings. It can also lead to hangovers, gut rot and the impending doom of not actually knowing how you got to where you woke up the next day. So, will this…
Ep. 169 – Batman & Robin
Lately, it seems that crapping on superhero movies is in fashion. While one can argue whether the genre has seen its day, one has to also remember how far along these movies have come. So, let’s go back in time when one movie took all that we held near and dear to our hearts and…
Ep. 168 – Ophelia
In all the years of doing this show, seldom have we had the chance to get classy and Shakespearean. So, grab a flagon of your best mead, bust out the lute and dance a merry jig….it’s time to see, before a live studio audience, if Ophelia is not that bad. Recorded at 5 Paddles Brewery…
Ep. 167 – Date Movie
It’s February and that can only mean one thing…theatres filled with couples watching movies they’re totally not paying attention to, all the while seeing if they’ll touch hands while going for the popcorn. However, this is probably not the movie any couple is looking for. But, maybe it’s the movie they need…because Date Movie is…
Ep. 166 – Dragonball Evolution
Take one of the most iconic anime characters of all-time, with a long back story, millions of fans around the world and multiple animated shows and movies. Now, take that property to the live-action world and cast your teenage main lead of a Japanese manga with an almost 30-year old Canadian. We’re off to a…
Ep. 165 – Epic Movie
They say you can’t tell a book from its cover. To paraphrase, you also can’t always tell a movie by its title. Take Epic Movie, for example. They didn’t lie about one of those words…it is a movie. Whether it’s epic or not remains to be seen. The even bigger question though is if Epic…
Ep. 164 – Jackpot!
There’s an old saying…you can’t win the lotto if you don’t buy a ticket. Well, we didn’t buy a ticket, but we sure as heck won a jackpot, and we’re here to tell you that this Prime flick is not that bad.
Ep. 163 – Alone In The Dark
The nice thing about adapting a video game to the big screen is that the story is already there, there’s a template for the characters and you have a ready-to-watch audience. So with all of that, how is it that some of these flicks make us want to rage quit? Strap in, grab a controller…
Ep. 162 – Southland Tales
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before…Black Adam, Daphne and Stifler walk into a dystopian nightmare version of LA while that guy from N’Sync is lip syncing a Killers song and no one knows exactly what the heck is going on. The punchline…is that we get to go through this film and find out…
Ep. 161 – The Star Wars Holiday Special
Every Christmas season, people make fun of the absurd level of schmaltz dumped onto television by the good people at Hallmark. But, anyone who complains needs to be brought back in time to 1978, when Santa crapped out the biggest coal ever to fill a stocking. If you already have a bad feeling about this,…
Ep. 160 – Time Cut
There are three words, when put together, combine to form the scariest phrase in the world of modern day movies. No, it’s not “time travel film”. And no, it isn’t “retro slasher flick”. In fact, the scariest thing anyone could ever whisper into the ear of a cinephile is “straight to streaming”. That said, we’re…
Ep. 159 – Death Note
Over the year, anime films and series have brought to the screen some unbelievable, fantastical imagery. Translating that to the live-action world has had its challenges with faithfully adapting that imagery. How did Netflix fare with Death Note? Adam Corky from Do You Watch Anime joins the show to deep dive the film.
Ep. 158 – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Who says you can’t go home? When your home is the Big Apple, it’s kind of hard to say no. But, when your home is a New York City that’s still overrun with a ghost problem…maybe it’s time for a move? Can one more trip around Broadway mean good tidings for movie-goers? Find out as…
Ep. 157 – Freaked
Have you ever seen a trailer that was so cool, so interesting, that you immediately made up your mind on the spot to watch that film? And then, have you ever left the theatre or stopped the DVD and questioned if the movie advertised was the same one you just watched? We’re in the same…
Ep. 156 – Orgazmo
Hi there. I was wondering if you had some time to talk about our lord and savior, Orgazmo. You see, just 90 minutes of time basking in his words and deeds will have you feeling joy and happiness. He’ll always be there for you, never let you down, and never lose faith in you, even…
Ep. 155 – Norbit
It’s never a bad thing to check in on your friends. However, when someone keeps asking “how you doing”, you stop thinking everything’s okay and start questioning if you’ve stumbled into an intervention. The only answer may be a deep dive into the abyss and a pulse check to see if Norbit is not that…
Ep. 154 – The Garbage Pail Kids Movie
On Wikipedia, there is a list of films considered to be the worst. We have talked about a few of those films on this show before, and more often than not, we’ve positive aspects to praise. This time, we may have met our match. Strap in, dear listeners, as we drink a whole jug of…
Ep. 153 – Paranormal Entity
When it comes to horror films, found footage style movies can be suspenseful, gripping and captivating. However, the definition of “found footage” doesn’t include finding a successful film and trying to mimic that. But there’s only one way to cap off both Mocktober and spooky season…by trying to prove that Paranormal Entity is not that…
Ep. 152 – Cocaine Shark
In 2016, Baby Shark was released, tormenting the world like an earworm working its way to your brain stem and chewing away parts of it until there’s nothing left of you but a drooling vegetable of a human. Fun, right? Well, we may have found something even worse than that. Strap in and pry open…
Ep. 151 – American Warships
Audiophiles around the world will speak endlessly about the perfection of analog. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it can’t work just as well…at least, that’s what I keep telling myself. But, can you stop an extraterrestrial invading force with nothing more than some crank wheel motors, vacuum tubes and some naval machismo? Find out…
Ep. 150 – Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies
Mocktober continues with another trip to The Asylum! If you’re like me, you probably got a lot of your history school notes from watching biographical movies instead of reading books. However, a word of warning to students today…you may not pass if you’re watching this film for historical accuracy. But, the look on the teacher’s…
Ep. 149 – Transmorphers
Happy Mocktober! In this episode, we kick off a month-long celebration of mockbusters, so get ready for some B-movie madness! In 2007, Michael Bay took 147 Million dollars and brought to the big screen a franchise that was more than meets the eye. Also in 2007, The Asylum took 0.2% of that budget and tried…
Ep. 148 – X-Men Origins: Wolverine
2024 has seen Deadpool & Wolverine set many records, delight audiences around the world and opened the door for the Merc With The Mouth to turn those PG frowns upside-down to R-rated smiles. Now, we step back in time to 2009 and witness the birth of the bromance and pray that it’s not DOA. This…
Ep. 147 – Boondock Saints
It’s not uncommon for the critics and general audience to differ in opinion on a movie. More often than not, it’s expected to happen, especially for a film with burning asses, exploding kittens and a boatload of bullets. The question remains…are the critics right, or is Boondock Saints not that bad.
Ep. 146 – Return Of The Living Dead Part 2
It’s not a far stretch to say that if a movie does well enough, Hollywood won’t hesitate to squeeze the ever loving milk out of the teat of the sacred cash cow. If they can bring back actors from the first movie, even better…or is it? Let’s run down to the graveyard to see if…
Ep. 145 – Speed Racer
Picture it…it’s Saturday morning, the TV is on and you have your Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars out while eating a bowl of cereal and making vroom-vroom noises. Now, imagine it’s 2008, and you’re doing the same thing. Not as pretty a picture when you’re older, is it? Don’t worry…we won’t hold it against you.…
Ep. 144 – The Thing (2011)
Hollywood has never been one to shy away from going back to the well to rehash what worked before. But, can a prequel of a remake with the same name still bring Antarctic chills? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that 2011’s The Thing is not that bad. Special Guest: Carson Elcome
Ep. 143 – Broken Arrow
There was a time when airplane movies were all the rage, the threat of nuclear missiles was everywhere and action films were the dominant force at the box office. That time was called the 80’s. 1996…not so much. Still, that doesn’t mean it was going to scale down on the explosions. Time to put $20…
Ep. 142 – The Rocker
For those about to listen to us talk about The Rocker, we salute you…because when it comes to rock and roll, age ain’t nothing but a number. Ratings, however…those are numbers. And, despite how low things can go, we raise our horns and say to heck with that, cause this move is not that bad.…
Ep. 141 – The Black Hole
When you think of Disney movies, you tend to think of animated tales featuring talking animals, wonderful songs and tales that stand the test of time. In 1979, Disney also meant laser battles, killer robots that would spin blade your insides out, and endings that found you in literal hell. Fun! Let’s take a trip…
Ep. 140 – Godzilla (1998)
There is a history of knock off products being created and sold as being just like the real thing. Toys, purses, fast food franchises…nothing is safe from being copied and passed off in foreign markets. The same thing can happen in movies too, and in 1998, North America made their own monster movie. Genuine or…
Ep. 139 – Teen Wolf
High school can be a weird time in a teen’s life. Your voice goes through changes, you start growing hair where there didn’t used to be any, and you all of a sudden realize that you have a strange habit of howling at the moon. Okay, maybe not every teen…but if you’re Michael J Fox,…
Ep. 138 – A Million Ways To Die In The West
In the game Oregon Trail, perhaps the most memorable end is when your character dies of dysentery. That seems like a walk in the park to everything listed or described in this film, making me wonder if it’s less a fictional tale and more a public service announcement that there are in fact a million…
Ep. 137 – Passengers
If someone wakes you up before you’re ready to get up, you’d be a little mad. Now imagine that you’re woken up 89 years before you’re ready and they don’t even have the decency to have a cup of coffee waiting for you. Pretty maddening, right? Probably about as egregious as the critics because Passengers…
Ep. 136 – Zoom
As a general rule of thumb, most superhero movies from 2008 and onward have been pretty good. Movies B.I.M. (before Iron Man)…not so much. However, can a clan of capeless crusading kids unshackled from the weight of an actual comic book line fly high? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that Zoom…
Ep. 135 – Freelance
Take a former professional wrestler, pair him with a woman who played a professional wrestler, then stick them in the middle of Colombia in a non-wrestling movie. Bold move? Maybe…but in the case of Freelance, it actually equals a good time. Because, no matter what the critics say, this film is not that bad.
Ep. 134 – In Time
They say that time is money. Unfortunately, they stopped accepting my watch as payment when I try to order a coffee. But when it comes to this film, a coffee won’t cost you an arm and a leg…it will cost you an hour and a minute. Luckily, we’ve got all the time for this flick…
Ep. 133 – The Crow: Wicked Prayer
According to Collins Dictionary, a definition for zero is the point from which positive or negative quantities are reckoned. But, can any positive quantities be reckoned from a film with a 0% Tomatometer? I reckon we’ll try as we attempt to prove to you that The Crow: Wicked Prayer is not that bad.
Ep. 132 – The Crow: Salvation
Normally, there are 3 words that can tell you all you need to know about a film…direct to DVD. However, many a hidden gem have been found in bargain bins and discount DVD dumps. But, can a third kick at the can for a beloved franchise find salvation in the sales aisle? Find out as…
Ep. 131 – The Crow: City Of Angels
It’s not a far stretch to say that 1994’s The Crow is one of the best comic book movies of the 1990’s and perhaps one of the best non-DC or Marvel comic book films of all time. So of course Hollywood wouldn’t let this cinematic success go unpunished…and by that, we mean being dragged through…
Ep. 130 – That Darn Cat (1997)
It’s no surprise that Disney has a habit of updating and redoing classic films from their back catalog. Whether the end result is good or not remains to be seen. However, we’re going to pop some Benadryl and do our best not to swear as we try to tell you that 1997’s That Darn Cat…
Ep. 129 – Aeon Flux
Live action movies based on animated series can be a tough challenge. Now imagine taking an animated series that initially appeared on MTV’s Liquid Television, a series that made you seriously wonder how good the drugs were back in the early 90’s, give it to a director with one film under her belt, add in…
Ep. 128 – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
In the 90’s, Tomb Raider made waves in the video game world. Posters of Lara Croft adorned the walls of many a teenage boy…and it wasn’t for the gameplay. Naturally, Hollywood can’t say no to an obvious cash cow, and what better way to do that than cast someone known for wearing their lover’s blood…
Ep. 127 – Studio 666
Since exploding onto the scene, the Foo Fighters have found themselves everywhere. Grammy awards, playing Wembley Stadium, headlining festivals, their music played everywhere…they have done it all. So, what better way to celebrate than with an over 90 minute blood and guts, over the top horror film? Excessive? Maybe…but that’s rock and roll, and in…
Ep. 126 – Justice League
2017 was truly the age of heroes. Wonder Woman got her own film, Thor and Hulk got to bro-out, Spider-Man came home and Logan bid adieu to the cinematic mutant machine. One film looked to stand tall and team together the denizens of the DC Universe. What we got…well, that’s up for debate. But, in…
Ep. 125 – Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse
Let me ask you, who would you want by your side when the zombie apocalypse hits? If you answered that your ideal survival team included three scouts, a strip club cocktail waitress and a whole lot of teen hormones and anxiety, then you’ve probably watched one too many movies. Luckily for you, that movie in…
Ep. 124 – National Lampoon’s Senior Trip
They say that high school is one of the most formative times of your life. But, after watching some of the high school hijinks films of the 80’s and 90’s, I have to wonder if Hollywood truly knows what the word formative means. Well, we’ll throw the dictionary out the window and put National Lampoon’s…
Ep. 123 – Cocktail
In the 80’s an epidemic hit movie going audiences. Symptoms included obscene amounts of broken glass, foot cramps caused from soaking wet socks and an uncontrollable urge to fly to a tropical paradise, somewhere like Aruba or Jamaica, Bermuda or Bahamas. Come on, pretty mommas…it’s time to see if Cocktail is not that bad.
Ep. 122 – The Dukes Of Hazzard
Enter a movie about some good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm…until they thought it was a good idea to take a beloved television show, run a script through a moonshine still, and watch as this movie goes south faster than the General Lee. Is 2005’s The Dukes Of Hazzard stuck in neutral? Let’s find…
Ep. 121 – Wild Wild West

Ep. 116 – Superhero Movie
When it comes to cinema, many movies are based on Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey.
