This month we're reviewing the severely underfunded adaptation of the TTRPG Dungeons & Dragons, and asking some very important questions - How did they get Jeremy Irons to do this?

November 04, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBIt's morphin' time! This episode we go back to the beloved teens with attitude and their trusty robots vs. monsters show from the early 90s. The episodes we review have it all - bad dubbing, beetus bowls and chunky chickens.

Hocus Pocus (1993)
October 21, 2022 12:00 - 2 hours - 123 MBSisters!! In honor of Halloween and unnecessary sequels 30 years after the original, we're reviewing the Millennial nostalgia-bait Hocus Pocus.

Mission Impossible (1996)
September 23, 2022 14:00 - 2 hours - 115 MBYour mission, if you choose to accept it, is to listen to our review of the original Mission: Impossible movie. Adapted from the classic TV series, its theme song slaps harder than a disgruntled Oscars guest. Starring Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Jean Reno, Ving Rhames, Emilio Estevez and Vanessa Redgrave and directed by Brian de Palma, this movie has more mask reveals than you can shake a piece of exploding gum at. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Tw...
Shrek (2001)
September 09, 2022 07:00 - 2 hours - 125 MBIt's the anti-fairytale that kicked off a cultural juggernaut: Shrek starring Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. Prepare for adventure as Nick guides you from the eyeball-filled swamp, to the pleasantly-oppressive Duloc...and beyond! Along the way, Jules stands firmly for the plight of marginalized, bullied, and displaced fantasy creatures everywhere. Meanwhile, Jon relates a little too well with the oppressors. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on In...
Deep Blue Sea (1999)
August 26, 2022 07:00 - 2 hours - 151 MBThis episode we're diving down into the Deep Blue Sea. The sharks can cure Alzheimer's. Samuel L. Jackson is awesome as always.

August 12, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 71 MBWe're taking a holiday in the English countryside to ride along with Postman Pat (and his black and white cat)! Delivering disappointing parcels through the all-too-quiet village of Greendale, Pat interacts with all-too-pleasant residents Reverend Timms, Ted Glen, Mrs. Hubbard, and umm..."Sam Waldron", all of whom are part of an evil stop-motion scheme. Will Pat be able to uncover the truth, remove the curse affecting Greendale, and still complete his rounds? Only time will tell! __________...
Friends: Season 1 (1994)
July 29, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 92.9 MBWe're skipping work for the day to grab some coffee with Friends! Stuffed with odd euphemisms and heavy sarcasm, it's the iconic sitcom that made Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer household names. So come along as we rediscover how to be there for you...if you know what we mean. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Godzilla (1998)
July 15, 2022 07:00 - 2 hours - 123 MBRoland Emmerich strikes again with 1998's Godzilla! The big, bad, sea monster has come to New York City and is ready to...start a family?

So grab a pile of fish and get ready for questionable takes on nuclear fallout, reptile biology, and what makes an island isolated. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Independence Day (1996)
July 01, 2022 07:00 - 2 hours - 121 MBToday is our Independence Day...episode! Roland Emmerich clearly has a destroying America fetish, because this won't be the last movie he does it in. Starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Randy Quaid, Judd Hirsch, Adam Baldwin, Harvey Fierstein and Mae Whitman, this movie still slaps (aliens, that is) years later. Also, how many ways can Nick say "Vivica A. Fox"? _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Toy Story (1995)
June 16, 2022 08:31 - 2 hours - 130 MBIt's Toy Story! Tom Hanks and Tim Allen star in this soft existential horror that's probably fundamental to your childhood.

Jurassic Park (1993)
June 03, 2022 11:30 - 2 hours - 163 MBWe spared no expense making this episode. With Jurassic World Dominion coming out, we thought we'd go back and watch Steven Spielberg's original dino blockbuster. Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Samuel L. Jackson and Wayne Knight, the special effects hold up surprisingly well. Hold onto your butts... _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Legally Blonde (2001)
May 20, 2022 08:10 - 2 hours - 110 MBExercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, and happy people just don't get into podcasting. That's right, this episode we're reviewing the feature-length blonde joke Legally Blonde. It's the movie that made Reese Witherspoon a star, with Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Victor Garber, Jennifer Coolidge and Ali Larter rounding out the cast. Plus *checks notes* -- Raquel Welch? That can't be right... Seriously, they'll apparently let anyone into Harvard Law School. _________________...

April 22, 2022 20:00 - 2 hours - 113 MBMORTAL KOMBAT!!! It's out anniversary episode, and to celebrate where it all began we're reviewing the sequel to our very first episode. With almost none of the original cast and cinematography clearly inspired by Power Rangers, there's so much craziness that we have to discuss. Enjoy! _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
April 08, 2022 07:00 - 2 hours - 161 MBYER A WIZARD, HARRY! Yeah, yeah, we know it's supposed to be the Philosopher's Stone, but we live in America and legally we have to go with the butchered title. The movie that put Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint on the map, it has an insane who's-who of British actors including Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, John Hurt and our favorite leprechaun Warwick Davis. Join us on a magical journey where we find more evidence that it really is awesome to ...
Air Bud (1997)
March 25, 2022 07:00 - 2 hours - 140 MBMillennial Rewind adds a little more madness to your March with Air Bud! This classic, featuring Michael Jeter and Bill Cobbs, tells the tale of a boy (who may or may not be in high school) trying to cope with loss in a town devoid of good pet diets, due process, and newspaper editors. Oh, and a dog joins a basketball team for three minutes. ________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Leprechaun (1993)
March 12, 2022 05:52 - 2 hours - 120 MBGrab your pots of gold and Irish stereotypes, it's time to review the camp-tactic horror film Leprechaun! Starring Warwick Davis, this was Jennifer Aniston's first feature film before she was on Friends. It's the story of a movie slowly learning that it's OK to leave the basement set you overpaid for. And a murderous leprechaun. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter
Batman & Robin (1997)
February 25, 2022 08:00 - 2 hours - 145 MBSick of modern dark, gritty Batman movies? Journey back in time with us to an era when they were just cheesy, campy toy commercials with no artistic value as we review Batman & Robin. Directed by Joel Schumacher, this was George Clooney's first major feature film. With Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone and Chris O'Donnell, this movie has more terrible ice puns than you can shake a frozen stick at. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
February 11, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 82.6 MBIn this episode we ponder the age old question..."Why? I mean, just...WHY?!?!" It's Jackass: The Movie starring Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, and the rest of the gang. Also special guests Henry Rollins, Tony Hawk, and Oscar-winning writer Spike Jonze?!

January 28, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBYou're definitely going to want to listen to this episode, it's a DOOZY. This time around we're reviewing the 90s classic Groundhog Day. Starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliot and Stephen Tobolowsky, it's a feel-good horror movie (yes it is a horror movie, shut up) and probably the greatest holiday film of all time. Also, try and see if you can spot Michael Shannon. So grab some rocky road ice cream and watch out for that puddle, it's time to go on a joyride with Punxsutawney...
Scream (1996)
January 14, 2022 08:00 - 2 hours - 144 MBDo you like scary movies? With the new sequel coming out, Nick and Jon take a stab at the original horror movie homage/slasher comedy "Scream". With an incredible cast including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Drew Barrymore and Skeet Ulrich (we finally learned who that is!), this is Wes Craven's love letter to classic slasher films. So burn some stovetop popcorn and break out your finest corn syrup, let's do this thing. ________...
Resident Evil (2002)
December 31, 2021 08:00 - 2 hours - 122 MBWe started this year with a Paul W.S. Anderson movie, and by golly we're going to end it with one. This episode we finally venture into the 2000s with the not-quite-an-adaptation of the hit video game Resident Evil. Starring Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez, this movie takes us back to a time when the people actually trying to stop the spread of a deadly virus were considered the good guys. Ah, the good old days... _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter
The Matrix (1999)
December 17, 2021 08:00 - 2 hours - 118 MBGrab your fetish outfits and superfluous firearms, it's time to enter The Matrix. Directed by the Wachowskis and starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Laurence Fishburne, this movie blew minds with its revolutionary special effects back in the day. Nick and Jon cut through the thick metaphors to see if it still holds up, and inadvertently discover who REALLY did 9/11. _________________ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter
Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)
December 03, 2021 08:00 - 2 hours - 131 MBThis episode, at Jon's insistence, we watched the Christmas so-called film Santa Claus: The Movie. It's the story of a movie searching for meaningful stakes or a compelling plot and failing miserably. Also something about Santa's origin story and a New York City orphan. It's got John Lithgow as a sleazy toy tycoon, Dudley Moore (Arthur) as an elf that doesn't look like and elf, and David Huddleston (The Big Lebowski) as Santa Claus. This movie is so bad Nick and Jon are no longer friends. ...
The Indian in the Cupboard (1995)
November 19, 2021 08:00 - 2 hours - 126 MBWhelp, this episode was uncomfortable to make. We watched the 90s kids film The Indian in the Cupboard, the story of a young boy who gets a cupboard that turns toys into real people. With this power that no child should wield, he keeps a Native American man as a human pet. It only gets worse from there... Given that Franz Oz, Frank Mashall and Kathleen Kennedy were involved with this movie, you think they'd have been able to get some better actors. Or pay for a better script. We're joined ...

November 05, 2021 07:00 - 2 hours - 148 MBWhen there's an 80s movie that you need reviewed, who you gonna call? Millennial Rewind! This episode we review the undisputed comedy classic Ghostbusters. With an insanely talented cast including Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson and Rick Moranis, if you haven't quoted this movie you've probably been living under a rock.

The Addams Family (1991)
October 22, 2021 07:00 - 2 hours - 120 MBCara mia! This week we review the creepy and kooky 90s revival of The Addams Family.

Goldeneye (1995)
October 08, 2021 07:00 - 2 hours - 148 MBThis episode we get suave and sophisticated with the first of Pierce Brosnan's James Bond films, Goldeneye.

Candyman (1992)
August 13, 2021 07:00 - 2 hours - 123 MBThis week, we review the early-90s horror film Candyman, based on the short story by Clive Barker. Starring Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen, most people think that it's about the power of urban legends and a commentary on race and class. However, sophisticated viewers know it's really about Ted Raimi continuing his exploration of the erogenous zones of the 90s. Also, feel free to play this episode's drinking game where you take a shot every time we mispronounce "Cabrini Green" (don't do this,...

Top Gun (1986)
July 02, 2021 07:00 - 2 hours - 125 MBThis week, the guys take you to the Danger Zone and review the 80s military recruitment film Top Gun. It's got all the fighter action you crave and enough shirtless dudes to turn the Cold War hot. _________________ Like us on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter
Predator (1987)
June 18, 2021 07:00 - 2 hours - 117 MBThis week, the guys review the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger action sci-fi film Predator.

Baywatch: Season 3 (1992) - Part 2
June 04, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBThe show so nice we did it twice. This time around the guys review some regular episodes from Baywatch, and in the process learn about 90s erogenous zones and the power of basketball to solve brutal murders. Also, Jon forgets how the show's opening formula works, and Jules mixes up the intros for The Odd Couple and Sanford and Son while Nick fails spectacularly at realizing this. _________________ Like us on Facebook.

Baywatch: Season 3 (1992)
May 21, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBIn this episode, the guys review the two-part Season 3 premiere of Baywatch that introduced Pamela Anderson. It's got the Deliverance crossover you didn't know you needed, and apparently all LA County lifeguards are undercover Navy SEALs. ***More dated COVID references.
