Hardcore Henry (2016)
April 08, 2016 04:00 - 17 minutesThe Russian import "Hardcore Henry", directed by Ilya Naishuller and starring Sharlto Copley and Haley Bennett, is either some brilliant, imaginative, humorous, over the top action flick, or it is an over-long, boring, tedious, graphic waste of time that may or may not make you physically ill. Or maybe it's both? Jim and A.Ron debate the film's merits accordingly. If you're curious about the original horror short film that inspired this year's "Lights Out" full feature film, you can watch it ...
Banshee - 401 - Something from the Bible
April 05, 2016 17:22 - 51 minutesA.Ron and co-host Cecily take a look at the new season of Cinemax's action series, "Banshee", with the season four premiere, "Something from the Bible". Maybe it's the location changes that cause so much catching up on, but we found it to run at a bit lower octane than your typical adventures of Hood and company. Or maybe it's the lack of Job. But this episode is "whelming"; neither over nor under. Still, heads get crushed in vices, Carrie goes Batwoman, Hood rediscovers his razor while learn...
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
March 24, 2016 04:00 - 17 minutesWe review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. We didn't like it. If you did, I'm really happy for you, but I'd recommend skipping the podcast because we're going to sound like Lex Luthor explaining Greek history, which is to say utterly deranged and insane. This podcast is an abridged version of the full, spoiler-filled discussion available only to our club members.

The Princess Bride (1987)
March 17, 2016 04:00 - 1 hourThis was a long time coming. Jim has avoided seeing this movie for going on 30 years. Today, he has no where to run, no where to hide. He's locked in a steel cage match with "The Princess Bride", directed by Rob Reiner and based on the novel of the same name by William Goldman. Confronted by the beautiful faces of Cary Elwes and Robin Wright, the absurdist comedy of Miracle Max, how will he react to this crazy mashup of farce, swashbuckling, and heart? Special thanks to Zan from Melbourne, Ba...
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
March 10, 2016 05:00 - 20 minutesJim and A.Ron took in the psychological thriller "10 Cloverfield Lane", and have a lot to say about the performances, the plot, and the trailers previewing movies we may or may not be interested in. The movie is directed by talented rookie Dan Trachtenberg, and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, and John Gallagher Jr, and is being called the "spiritual successor" to the original J.J. Abrams joint, "Cloverfield", whatever the hell that means. This podcast is an abridged version of th...

Deadpool (2016)
February 12, 2016 05:00 - 18 minutesJim and A.Ron saw the latest kinda-sorta-Marvel movie, "Deadpool", and found it defied their expectations. Rather pleasantly so. What we were expecting is some kind of Dumpuary disaster, and what we got was a slick, action packed, very hard "R", very funny send up of the super hero genre. If you like movies in the "Cranked" franchise, or the latest "Kingsmen" flick, you'll be right at home. This podcast is an abridged version of the full, spoiler-filled discussion available only to our club m...
The Fifth Element (1997)
January 15, 2016 05:00 - 52 minutesSpecial thanks once again to Aaron Spaulding, who for his double commission feature selected the wonderful, weird, and fully preposterous Luc Besson joint "The Fifth Element", of which Jim and I are very familiar with. We delve into the depths of Jim's annoyance with Ruby, while A.Ron explains how he quit worrying and learned to love the Rodd, Besson's partly crazy, partly insightful look into life in the 24th century, and spend quite a bit of time analyzing the lead actors Bruce Willis, Mill...
The Knick Season 2 Wrap Up
January 14, 2016 18:00 - 1 hourA.Ron is joined once again by Shayne Bowman from the Heisenberg Chronicles and Film Schlubs to discuss the latest season of Cinemax's The Knick.

Making a Murderer
January 12, 2016 21:00 - 1 hourJim and A.Ron have a LOT to say about Netflix's documentary, "Making a Murderer". Lots of spoilers ahead, but if you just want our opinion on whether the show is worth watching or not, rest assured that it absolutely is. We discuss the case, the defendants, the evidence, the criminal justice system in America, and ask what can we do individually and collectively to fix the numerous issues that are shed light on. If you'd like to help innocent people be exonerated, consider donating to the Inn...

Teeth (2007)
January 06, 2016 05:00 - 41 minutesSpecial thanks to podcast commissioner Julie Webster for pulling the trigger on the Mitchell Lichtenstein film, "Teeth", starring Jess Weixler. It is a frequently funny, sometimes creepy, yet often insightful look at the mythology behind vagina dentata, or "toothed vagina". This movie has severed peen for days, ya'll. They guys spend the better part of an awkward hour discussing the film and related topics, hope you enjoy! Join the discussion: Email | Forums Follow us: Twitter | Instagram | F...
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
December 17, 2015 05:00 - 1 hourJim and A.Ron have seen the latest Star Wars, and declare it worthy of the name. Don't expect Empire Strikes Back, but if you set your navicomputer expectations somewhere in Return of the Jedi's neighborhood we think you'll have a good time. We give about five minutes of non spoiler review up front, but then get hardcore old school Star Wars nerd talk. Meet us over in the forums if you want to talk about it!

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
December 07, 2015 05:00 - 1 hourAndrew "The Commissioner" Mount "strikes" again from his hidden rebel base, this time forcing us to watch Episode V of the Star Wars saga, "The Empire Strikes Back." Which, incidentally, depending on the age of the A.Ron you ask, is either his favoritist movie of all time, or top three. Either way, it's a treat. Once again, Jim and I try to sort through our childhood and adult memories of this holiest of trilogies to give it the treatment it deserves. If you missed in the first time, or would...
Stargate (1994)
November 30, 2015 05:00 - 59 minutesToday's commissioned podcast is on 1994's Stargate -- brought to you by Dr. Brandon Devito, official dentist of Bald Move and international man of mystery. Directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Kurt Russell and James Spader, it is a star spanning intergalactic tale of ancient Egyptian themed aliens, slip-shod archaeology, and gun toting shepherd boys. The boys ponder how movies change as we age, Emmerich's professional toolkit, the massive flaws in both Ra's and team Stargate's (SG-1?) pla...
Spectre (2015)
November 30, 2015 05:00 - 57 minutesJim and A.Ron went out over the long weekend and treated themselves to the latest James Bond flick, Spectre. After discussing the experience itself, in which we review our hometown's newest theater experience, the Eastgate Brew and View, we dish on the few charms and big disappointments in Daniel Craig's latest outing on Her Majesty's Service, Craig's place in the 007 pantheon, and our relationship with the series as a whole. Massive spoilers incoming, so if you want to see this unsullied, pu...
Ash vs Evil Dead, Rick and Morty
November 05, 2015 22:20 - 28 minutesJim and A.Ron watched some fun television this week that they want to talk about! First up is the horror / comedy on Starz Network, "Ash vs Evil Dead". Does Bruce Campbell's shtick hold up all these years later? Second, the amazingly funny Cartoon Network Adult Swim sci-fi comedy, "Rick and Morty", co-created by Dan Harmon and the Earl of Lemongrab.

Daredevil (2015)
October 05, 2015 18:30 - 28 minutesSpecial thanks to Robert Packnett who commissioned us to take on Netflix's 2015 series, "Daredevil", with a particular emphasis on the episodes "Cut Man" and "Shadows in the Glass". This was a particularly shrewd selection, as they both deal with the duality of the main hero and villain of the series, and their histories, similarities, strengths, and weaknesses. "Daredevil" is a series that is so much better than it has any right to be, and it's a magical combination of the writing, direction...
The Martian (2015)
October 02, 2015 04:00 - 59 minutesJim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott's "The Martian" last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it. Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we're about to spoil things, that's your cue to get out while the getting is good. Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion. If you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir's original book (The Martian) the film...

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
September 04, 2015 17:00 - 58 minutesThanks to Anthony Basich for commissioning this podcast, and quite frankly, changing our entire mind about the Mad Max franchise. We think 1981's "The Road Warrior", directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson, is awesome, and stands up to any of it's 80's action movie brethren in a competition about holding up and entertaining a modern audience. We discuss feral kids, post-apocalyptic sexuality, the economics of a refinery under constant attack, working with animals in the movies, and ...
Contact (1997)
August 24, 2015 16:00 - 1 hourDid we, in fact, deliver a commissioned podcast on the 1997 Robert Zemeckis science fiction film Contact? Well, all I can say for sure is that we recorded a conversation and released it as a podcast. Your own personal experience with the podcast will have to inform your answer to that question. Special thanks to Henrik Wielechowski who made the inspired choice to pull the trigger on this thought and debate provoking film.

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
August 17, 2015 19:20 - 56 minutesAndrew "The Commissioner" Mount has indicated a fifth movie that needs some Bald Move attention, this time the 2012 horror "The Cabin in the Woods". Written by Joss Whedon and directed by long time collaborated Drew Goddard, and staring the Mighty Thor, it was what I would describe as a pleasant surprise. I was prepared for a stock slasher flick, and what I got was... something more than that. Can't really say much else, and if you're a horror fan who somehow missed this, I encourage you to g...
V: The Original Miniseries
July 20, 2015 20:00 - 1 hourSpecial thanks to Bobby Z for commissioning this 1983 classic piece of original televised cinematic history; V: The Original Miniseries. A.Ron had fond memories of this series from his childhood, while Jim experienced it for the first time. We discuss 80's fashion, television tropes, heavy handed allegory, the plausibility of this as a first contact scenario, and the abject horror of prominent matte lines. Oh, and some pets get eaten and people get their faces torn off. That's pretty scary to...

The Matrix (1999)
June 29, 2015 22:00 - 1 hourThanks to Jefferson Betmarik for making us pull 1999's The Matrix off our shelves and talk about it. This movie was directed by the Wachowski siblings, and stars Keanu Reeves, Lawerence Fishburne, and Carrie-Anne Moss among others. Jim and I have watched this movie so much, and spent so much time talking about it over the years, so it's no surprise that we were able to easily fill 1:20 with our personal thoughts and observations. What surprised is was how many new thoughts and ideas we had fr...

The Big Lebowski (1998)
January 26, 2015 20:00 - 56 minutesThis podcast was commissioned by Michael Johnston for his main main Dave in Philly, and what a podcast it is. Jim and I have the sheer delight of watching the sublime Coen Brothers' 1998 film, The Big Lebowski. One of the forerunners of the "slacker noir" genre, Lebowski is hugely entertaining and surprisingly deep film. We talk about Jeff Bridges magic, new shit coming to light, try to figure out Maude, gush about the late, great, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the downfall of bowling, and much, m...
Watchmen (2009)
January 21, 2015 19:30 - 1 hourSpecial thanks to two time Commissioner Andrew Mount for tasking us with the pleasure of watching Watchmen, a 2009 Zack Snyder adaptation of the classic comic book series by Alan Moore.

We were going to hop aboard the Porkchop Express and follow him coast to coast, double fisting sandwiches and spitting the truth about life, relationships, big rigs, and Big Trouble in Little China. In short, we would be preaching the gospel of Jack Burton over the CB airwaves. But problems ensued. Chinese monkey predator monsters...

The Wire - Omar Comin' - Commissioned Podcast
September 12, 2014 22:00 - 1 hourHey there, A.Ron here with a very special commissioned podcast with a unique history and focus. First, thanks to Andrew Stannard for using Subbable to make this all possible, and for working with us patiently on the format of the podcast. Andrew wanted us to talk about The Wire. The problem is, I've got massive plans for a Ultimate Badass Criterion Sapphire The Wire Podcast, and I didn't want to take his money to release an inferior version. So, we compromised. We'd record a podcast about his...
