Episode 28: Remakes
October 16, 2015 04:00 - 2 hours - 64.4 MBIf there's one thing that makes the general movie geek population angry it's the topic of this episode: remakes. In a time where it seems there's remakes, reboots, and re-dos being announced almost daily we take the time to talk about some of the best (and worst) that are out there. We also make the surprising discovery we both don't quite hate remakes as much as we suspected - though there are, of course, exceptions. As usual, we first get you up to speed about what we've watched includin...
Episode 27: Gotcha!
October 02, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 46.6 MBIt's paint guns, espionage, virgins, bad-ass Russians, and more as we jet back to 1985 and take a look at Jeff Kanew's Gotcha!

But first we tell you about what we've been watching including Josh's continued journey to Elm Street, the roller skating disco of Skatetown U.S.A., and eve...
Episode 26: Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!
September 25, 2015 04:00 - 2 hours - 67.6 MBInsects. Creepy crawlies. Bugs. We all know them. We all hate them. Which is probably why there's so damn many killer insect movies out there.

But first we catch you up to speed on what we've been watching including an argument about Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, The Blob, Bedevilled, and more! Thanks for listening! B...

Released in 1981 and directed by stunt man-turned-director Hal Needham, this Burt Reynolds starring comedy contains slapstick, cleavage, hot cars, and all sorts of mayhem. But how does it hold up over thirty years later? Will we still dig it? Or have we grown out of this un-P.C., dopey form of comedy? Tune in and find out! First off, though, we ...
Episode 24: The Landis
September 04, 2015 04:00 - 2 hours - 61.4 MBIt's hard not to think of the 80's without thinking of the movies of John Landis. This is the guy who was responsible for making not only the movie that started the low-budget frat sex comedies that followed in its wake (Animal House) but also the greatest music video ever with Michael Jackson's "Thriller", a top notch werewolf flick (An American Werewolf in London), and one of the most raucous musicals in history with The Blues Brothers. Tune in as we talk about "The Landis". But first we...

Episode 20: Found Footage
July 22, 2015 04:00 - 2 hours - 59.6 MBSummer vacation is officially over for us which could only mean... more episodes!
