We here at MFF love random drafts, and this one gets really weird as characters from Ghostbusters 2, Gone Girl, The Social Network, Alien 3 and The Karate Kid all get drafted. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about linebacker paintings, plants as offensive lineman and merchandising. If you are a fan of incredibly random podcast episodes, you will love this draft.
Episode 209 (Major League)

Released on July 28th, 1999, the Renny Harlin directed movie features shocking deaths, inventive set-pieces and a song about shark fin hats (it's awesome). Deep Blue Sea is one of our favorite films, and we think it's aged-beautifully, and is still the second best shark movie ever made (Jaws is #1). In this podcast, you will hear us talk about cheeseboards, limb loss and what televisions shows shar...

July 23, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBThis MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Sharks in Sweden, a totally fake shark movie starring Dolph Lundgren, Stephen Baldwin and Jeremy Irons.

July 13, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 72 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2002 creature feature Eight Legged Freaks. This giant spider movie is totally underrated and we love its combination of humor, carnage and cheeky spiders who have charming personalities. It's a shame that it underpeformed at the box office, because it's very fun, and features solid CGI and inspired spider kills. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about John Travolta, creature features and death by slug. If you are a fan of Eig...
Episode 204 (Election)
July 08, 2019 11:05 - 1 hour - 68.1 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1999 cult classic comedy Election. Excellently directed by Alexander Payne (Citizen Ruth, About Schmidt, Sideways), the film only made $14 million during its initial theatrical run, however, it's built a cult following over the last 20 years. Election is a near-perfect comedy that gets better with age, and we still can't get over how great Matthew Broderick, Chris Klein and Reese Witherspoon (she should've won an Oscar) are in the...
Episode 203 (The Rocketeer)
July 03, 2019 13:30 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1991 cult classic The Rocketeer. The movie didn't take off in 1991, but since then, viewers have wisened up and realized it's a blast (pun intended). Directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger) the PG-rated Disney movie has aged-well with its practical effects, fun performances and nostalgic vibes. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about fisticuffs, destruction of baked goods and Jennifer Connelly being awes...
Episode 202 (Dragged Across Concrete)
June 28, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 75 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the controversial 2019 film Dragged Across Concrete. Directed and written by S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99) the film is a brutal look into a world filled with dirty cops, bank robbers and more dirty cops. We love how it makes nothing easy (it's 159 minutes long), revels in the miniatue of everyday life, and features inspired Zahler-esque dialogue. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about sandwich eating, p...
Episode 201 (Total Recall - 1990)
June 22, 2019 11:00 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MBMark and Norbert talk about the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Total Recall. Released in 1990, the Paul Verhoeven directed movie was surprisingly smart, insanely violent and loaded with some brilliant Schwarzenegger one-liners (See you at the party, Richter!). In this episode, they also talk about Keith David (he isn't in the movie... but, he is the best), cereal on Mars, practical effects, and reliable henchmen. If you are a fan of Total Recall, you will love this episode.
Episode 200 (Soldier)
June 16, 2019 11:10 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBThe MFF podcast is back for the 200th time! In honor of our 200th episode we're talking about Soldier, the 1998 Blade Runner-sidequel directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (listen to our Resident Evil podcast episodes now), that featured Kurt Russell beating many people up. What we love about Soldier is how it tells the story of an outdated soldier defeating upgraded soldiers — who don't realize they are fighting Kurt Russell. In this episode, you will hear us talk about homemade scarves, broken ank...
Episode 199 (So I Married An Axe Murderer)
June 10, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1993 cult classic So I Married an Axe Murderer. The Mike Myer's starrring movie underperformed at the box office, but has since built a loyal audience who quote the movie frequently (Heed! Pants! Now!) and love extremely large cappuccinos. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about Froot Loops, Scottish accents and cinematographers who never walk. If you are a fan of So I Married an Axe Murderer, you will love this episode.
Episode 198 (Judge Dredd and Dredd)
June 05, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 77 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Judge Dredd (1995) and Dredd (2012). These two movies about the same character couldn't be more different, and we love that. Both movies had behind the scenes issues, and the end results were either fantastic or uneven (guess which is which). However, they are both entertaining in their own way and if they were combined, would make for a fun Dredd movie. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about flying cars, Armand Assante's line d...
Episode 197 (Ticks)
May 31, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 65 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the incredibly obscure 1993 horror film Ticks. If you are a fan of squishy sound effects, deadly arachnids and practical special effects you will love this episode. In this episode, you will hear us talk about evil marijuana dealers, giant bugs, and the effects of steroids on ticks. We had a great time talking about this movie because it's an unknown gem that is light on story, but heavy on juicy practical monsters created by legends ...

May 26, 2019 10:20 - 1 hour - 102 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Jason X and the Friday the 13th remake. We're big fans of the franchise, so we did a ton of research so we could come up with some amazing F13 facts that will most likely blow your mind. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about illegal pot dealing, whiskey drinking, wakeboarding and Jason's archery skills. If you are a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, you will love this episode.
Episode 195 (Youngblood)
May 21, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Youngblood, a 1986 hocky film starring Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze. This R-rated hockey flick is a mixture of Rocky, Star Wars and Slapshot, as it features a mixture of fighting, farming and more fighting. In this episode, you will hear us talk about hockey fights, Keanu Reeves, and the negatives of eating pancakes for dinner. If you are a fan of obscure cult classics taht focus on hockey, you will love this episode.
Episode 194 (Sleepy Hollow)
May 16, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about 1999's Sleep Hollow, the Tim Burton directed movie that is beautiful to look at. The movie still looks amazing 20 years later, and it totally deserved the Oscar win for its wonderful art and set direction. Throw in the Colleen Atwood costume design, and Emmanuel Lubezki cinematrography, and you have one of the best looking movies of the last 20 years. In this episode, you will hear us talk about tubes of death, pumpkin throwing and pe...
Episode 193 (Airborne)
May 11, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1993 rollerblading (and hockey) movie Airborne. Many of you might slightly remember Airborne because it features Jack Black and Seth Green rollerblading down a massive hill called "The Devil's Backbone" during the epic finale. The final race is pretty great, whereas the rest of the movie does its best to get to the race as quickly as possible. In this podcast, you will hear us talking about Alita: Battle Angel, big moogombas, and ...
Episode 192 (Avengers: Endgame)
May 06, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2019 mega-blockbuster Avengers: Endgame. We love how the Russo Brothers did a fantastic job tying together 11 years and 22 films worth of Marvel shenanigans into one massively emotional package. We had a great time getting into all the spoilers and easter eggs featured in this three-hour epic. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about peanut butter sandwiches, tacos, beef jerky, beer, pizza, cheeseburgers and ice cream (food pl...
Episode 191 (Jumper)
May 01, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2008 superhero movie Jumper. The movie made $222 million worldwide, but was hated by critics who didn't like director Doug Liman's take on the superhero genre. We are big fans of the movie, and appreciate how Liman dragged the production to seven countries in an attempt to make the world feel real by going to actual locations in Italy, Japan and Egypt. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about jump faces, bank robberies and the...
Episode 190 (Airheads)
April 26, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1994 comedy Airheads. It was a weird experience watching it again after about 20 years since the last viewing, because, the movie is a 1990's time capsule featuring "before they were huge" actors such as Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler and Chris Farley. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about cottage cheese, The Counting Crows and a plethora of insults. If you are a fan of Airheads, you will love this podcast.
Episode 189 (The Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies Ranked)
April 21, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're ranking the 21 movies that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MFF podcast contributors ranked the movies, and we tallied the scores to crown a very worthy champion (Iron Man...because it's the best!). In this podcast, you will hear us talk about missing Kat Denning in the Thor movies, and the greatness of Michael Pena's Luis character from the Ant-Man franchise. If you are a fan of the MCU you will love this podcast.
Episode 188 (Cliffhanger)
April 16, 2019 10:10 - 1 hour - 89.9 MBMark and Adam (of the GoFigure YouTube show) talk about the 1993 action-epic Cliffhanger. We love this Renny Harlin directed film and couldn't wait to talk about John Lithgow punching Sylvester Stallone in the ribs, and the actual cost of hijacking a plane in the air. In this episode, they also discuss burger restaurants, weird kicking choices, and flannels that are way too big. If you are a fan of Cliffhanger, you will love this episode.
Episode 187 (Willow)
April 11, 2019 11:15 - 1 hour - 74.3 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the underrated 1988 fantasy film Willow. Writer/producer George Lucas and director Ron Howard teamed up to make a very fun film featuring a 17-year old Warwick Davis and a very game Val Kilmer battling evil wizards, two-headed dragons and gross trolls. The movie holds up really well because of the practical effects, massive sets and beautiful New Zealand locations which make everything look epic. In this podcast, you will hear us talk...
Episode 186 (Knightriders)
April 06, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 90.9 MBThe MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about a movie that features motorcycle jousting, renaissance fairs and Tom Savini in a major role. George Romero's underappreciated 1981 movie is 145 minutes of uniqueness, and we don't think any other director could've (or would've) made anything similar. In this podcast, you will hear us discuss lecherous knights, Ed Harris looking jacked, and the amount of money needed to keep a traveling renaissance fair featuring motorcycle jousting pr...
