Critically Acclaimed: Mars Needs Moms and Spirited Away

November 12, 2018 08:00 - 2 hours - 122 MB

They say MARS NEEDS MOMS, but what it got was a disaster. This motion-capture animated film cost $150 million, grossed less than $39 million, collapsed a studio, set an entire animation medium back years, and earned a bunch of terrible reviews in the process! Why is it such a dud, and is it really as bad as its reputation? And why is it the perfect double feature with Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved, Oscar-winning classic SPIRITED AWAY? You’ll find out on this week’s CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! Plus, we’...

Critically Acclaimed: Reefer Madness and Smiley Face

November 06, 2018 08:00 - 1 hour - 101 MB

It’s our one year anniversary, and we’re celebrating with one of the worst movies ever made! It’s REEFER MADNESS, a 1936 “scare film” about how one puff of marijuana will transform you into a hallucinating sex-craved murderer and bring shame upon your family. It’s the kind of anti-drug film that could only be enjoyed while intoxicated, and it’s the perfect double feature with Greg Araki’s unsung stoner classic SMILEY FACE, starring Anna Faris! Plus! New reviews of THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND,...
