Episodes
Episode 284: Mimic (1997)
November 01, 2018 11:29 - 103 MBGuillermo Del Toro had a different vision and had to fight every inch of the way and the movie still sucked. A true testament to how good a director he really is when he's given artistic freedom he doesn't make movies like Mimic.
Episode 283: The Nest (1988)
October 18, 2018 15:49 - 111 MBWhen scientifically modified cockroaches take over the town, things go sour fast. The mayor's daughter comes back to town to screw everything up. The sheriff doesn't know what he's doing and the local exterminator has all the brains.
Episode 282: Slugs (1988)
September 20, 2018 17:19 - 77.5 MBWhen people start turning up dead in a small quite town, things get suspicious. The health inspector is thought to be crazy for his suggestion of killer slugs. I'm sure the book is better.
Episode 281: Puppetmaster (1989)
September 13, 2018 19:22 - 93.7 MBWhile not really original it does have its moments. It's a bad film but one would argue that it isn't a horrible film. Listen in as Scott and Joey talk about this movie and like usual go off on some tangents and talk about others too.
Episode 280: Meet The feebles (1989)
August 30, 2018 16:22 - 68 MBMeet The Feebles is a film like you've never seen. Forget Happytime Murders or Avenue Q. As you may hear from people in the know, Peter Jackson did it first. It's the Muppets on crack, meth and heroin. Is it good? Kinda. Is it worth the watch? Yep.
Episode 279: Brain Damage (1988)
August 09, 2018 12:19 - 71 MBBrain Damage is a simple story about a boy and his parasite. Brian wakes up to find Elmer (essentially his pusher) who is going to make him feel great and worry free. The trade off? Brian needs to feed Elmer human brains so he can have Elmer's "juice".
Episode 278: Quick Change (1990)
August 02, 2018 18:22 - 91 MBScott wasn't thrilled with my challenge of Quick Change as reviewing good films aren't very interesting. This is especially true this episode as we trail off many times talking about many other things not named Quick Change.
Episode 277: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
July 26, 2018 19:21 - 96.7 MBA prequel to the first film but explains a bit more on the story line between Katie and her sister Kristi when they were kids. Plenty of jump scares to be had and the husband to no ones surprise is a total dick.
Episode 276: My Little Eye (2002)
July 19, 2018 23:14 - 68.4 MBMy Little Eye involves a group of five 20 somethings that are living in a house under the watchful eye of big brother. The kick? If they can live together for 6 months and everyone stays on the premises they win $1,000,000.
Episode 275: Unfriended (2014)
July 12, 2018 23:13 - 42.8 MBDeja vu anyone? Scott and Joey review the underrated film Unfriended. The one screen film keeps you interested and has good storytelling. It's paced perfectly and you have a genuine creepiness factor to the film.
Episode 274: Shoot the Sh't Episode
June 28, 2018 21:53 - 80.6 MBAfter such a long hiatus Scott and Joey are just shootin' the sh't and talking about everything from life in Texas for Scott to Joey's recent vacation trip to Rhose Island. More of relaxed episode.
Episode 273: Summer Blockbusters 2018!
May 24, 2018 16:24 - 108 MBSummer is finally here and that means Summer Blockbusters. Listen in as Scott and Joey talk about all the big movies coming out Summer 2018.
Episode 272: The 90th Oscars LIVE (2018)
March 04, 2018 11:54 - 212 MBThe 90th Oscars are upon us! Listen is as Scott and Joey (with Joey's wife Mer for a short time) watch the Oscars LIVE. The ballots are filled, the winners are announced, Scott is tired as hell and the show is still 4 hours long.
Episode 272: The 90th Oscars LIVE (2017)
March 04, 2018 11:54 - 3 hours - 212 MBThe 90th Oscars are upon us! Listen is as Scott and Joey (with Joey's wife Mer for a short time) watch the Oscars LIVE. The ballots are filled, the winners are announced, Scott is tired as hell and the show is still 4 hours long.
Episode 271: Oscar Talk: The Post (2017)
February 23, 2018 13:45 - 115 MBThe Post inspires on many levels given the economic and political landscape we are all traversing these days. It really brings back a time when being held accountable still meant something. A must see.
Episode 270: Oscar Talk: Phantom Thread (2017)
February 22, 2018 21:45 - 53.4 MBPhantom Thread although cinematically and verbally are at the top of its game there was a bit to be desired with this one. Paul Thomas Anderson delivers for the art house crowd but that's it.
Episode 269: Oscar Talk: Lady Bird (2017)
February 16, 2018 23:15 - 59.9 MBUnfortunately for Lady Bird it comes off as a pretentious piece of film making. Although performances are very good it literally brings nothing new to the table with characters you rarely care about. It may win Picture but wouldn't deserve it.
Episode 268: Oscar Talk: Call Me By Your Name (2017)
February 15, 2018 16:34 - 57.4 MBCall Me By Your name takes place in Northern Italy during the Summer of 1983. All around great performances and Acting but Joey felt the film took too long to get around to things. While neither of us disliked the film it didn't move us either.
Episode 267: Oscar Talk: Dunkirk (2017)
February 09, 2018 14:31 - 86.3 MBDunkirk pretty much picks up where Darkest Hour ends. Christopher Nolan who is probably the best working director today delivers quite an impressive spectacle for the screen. He's long overdue for an Oscar. Expect him to win Director and likely Picture.
Episode 266: Oscar Talk: Darkest Hour (2017)
February 08, 2018 17:54 - 47.8 MBDarkest Hour is some of Gary Oldman's finest work. The method actor never leaves his performance nor ever phones it in. While he may not look exactly like Churchill, you believe he is. Expect Oldman to win Best Actor and the film to win Best Makeup.
Episode 265: Oscar Talk: Get Out (2017)
February 02, 2018 07:14 - 71.7 MBWhen reviewing a film like Get Out one might think that it's a simple film without substance. This couldn't be further from the truth. There's a reason it's nominated for Best Picture. We break everything down and also include a SPOILER ALERT.
Episode 264: Oscar Talk: Three Billboards (2017)
February 01, 2018 21:54 - 67.2 MBThe film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri is next on the list for our Best Picture reviews. We break everything down and also include a SPOILER ALERT.
Episode 263: Oscar Talk: The Shape Of Water (2017)
January 26, 2018 11:44 - 60.7 MBThe Shape of Water is the first best picture film discussed by Scott and Joey this year. We talk over each other, Scott drinks Gin and we review the film. But did we like it?
Episode 262: Oscar Nominees (2018)
January 25, 2018 13:23 - 66.9 MBScott and Joey discuss the films that are nominated in this year's 90th Academy awards. All the major categories are discussed including too much time on makeup. Apparently Joey thought it was important.
Episode 261: Oscar Nominee Predictions (2018)
January 18, 2018 23:13 - 82.6 MBScott and Joey try and predict the nominees for this year's Academy Awards across all the major categories. This included Best Actor and Actress, Supporting Actor and Actress along with Directing, Original and Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture!
Episode 260: Tusk (2014)
December 21, 2017 20:43 - 62.1 MBWe review Joey's challenge of Tusk for Scott. Kevin Smith hasn't necessarily been a favorite of Scott's for a few years while Joey would love to hang out with him and discuss film in general. What did we think of Tusk? Tune in and find out.
Episode 259: January Movies (2018)
December 07, 2017 23:23 - 121 MBJanuary movies! A Moviesucktastic favorite. We watch and discuss all the trailers for movies being released in January 2018. Everything bad like Den of Thieves, Insidious The Last key, Forever My Girl plus many more!

December 07, 2017 23:23 - 121 MBJanuary movies! A Moviesucktastic favorite. We watch and discuss all the trailers for movies being released in January 2018. Everything bad like Den of Thieves, Insidious The Last key, Forever My Girl plus many more!
Episode 258: Jigsaw (2017)
November 16, 2017 15:42 - 93.3 MBWe went to go see Jigsaw not knowing what to expect and didn't leave disappointed. Is it the best Saw film? No. It does hold up on its own but we're unfortunately not expecting any more movies due to the low turnout at the box office.
Episode 257: It Comes At Night (2017)
October 26, 2017 19:56 - 53.9 MBContinuing with the Halloween Movie fest we talk about It Comes At Night, Goodnight Mommy, Alien Covenant, Stephen King, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Gracefield Incident and The Darkness.
Episode 256: The Lords Of Salem (2012)

October 05, 2017 10:33 - 83.8 MBWe review Scott's challenge of Galaxy Of Terror and kick off Halloween Horror films for October with The Babadook.
Episode 254: Welcome Back! (2017)
September 28, 2017 20:43 - 93.3 MBScott and Joey have been on a small hiatus but they are back and in full force! This episode is mostly a catch up one. We do talk about some films but there is a touch of political talk to even things out.
Episode 253: Enemy Mine (1985)
August 17, 2017 22:33 - 50.3 MBEnemy Mine was a film that directly challenged Star Wars but in a more serious dramatic attempt. Although better than we remembered it still has its problems. Listen in and decide for yourself.
Episode 252: The Last Starfighter (1984)
August 10, 2017 19:24 - 78 MBThe Last Starfighter was the first film to utilize all computer graphics by way of Crays Servers. Some scenes look pretty good but most look downright terrible. The film itself isn't entirely bad but we remembered liking it more as kids.
Episode 251: WarGames (1983)
August 03, 2017 14:23 - 82.5 MBWarGames actually doesn't deserve to get the Moviesucktastic treatment as it's a pretty good film. Everything is top notch from the cinematography to acting. Move along, nothing to see here.
Episode 250: Chopping Mall (1986)
July 27, 2017 23:54 - 96.3 MBTeen sex, malls, killer robots and the 80's! Just about everything you'd want in a film about such things. Cheesy and poorly acted at times but that won't stop you from liking the hell out of this movie.
Episode 249: Deadly Friend (1986)
June 22, 2017 21:37 - 65.9 MBDeadly Friend is on many top lists for Wes Craven. Although there are parts of the film that are classic Wes, it feels like the studio may have interfered and deviated from the book a little too much.
Episode 248: Electric Dreams (1984)
June 15, 2017 18:34 - 78.7 MBHollywood and computers have always been a bit of an issue in the 80's. Electric Dreams is no different. Although inventive on how technology was used it was completely by accident. Bud Cort as the computers voice is a big plus and saves the film.
Episode 247: Superman III (1983)
June 08, 2017 14:44 - 110 MBWith the recent controversy over Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, Joey and Scott head back to Superman's roots and celebrate the greatest Superman film ever made, complete with Richard Pryor as a computer hacker and the infamous junkyard fight.
Episode 246: Death of Jodorowsky's Superman Dune (2013 - 2015)
May 25, 2017 19:23 - 105 MBIn the last of this round of listener request episodes, Joey and Scott review two documentaries for Steve Brooks on films that never made it to the big screen, Alejandro Jodorowsky's version of Dune, and Superman Lives starring Nicolas Cage.

May 18, 2017 16:23 - 72.9 MBPart of Moviesucktastic's listener request reviews, Joey and Scott tackle the slapstick absurdities of Mr. Bean's Holiday for YouTube vlogger Amy McLean. Also on board, some trailers from 360soundandvision for The Face in the Wall and The Glasses 2.
Episode 244: Krull (1983)
April 13, 2017 23:51 - 106 MBJoey and Scott review the notorious Ken Marshall (who?) vehicle, basically Willow meets Star Wars, with a dash of Tron. If you survived the 80's, you still have nightmares about crushed Cyclops and Charlie Bucket's math teacher turning into animals.
Episode 243: Evil Toons (1992)
April 06, 2017 21:11 - 64.7 MBEvils Toons was played on late night Skinemax on a regular basis. Joey never saw it fully until recently and didn't take too well to it's horrible pacing, bad acting and even worse plot structure. Scott was a bit more forgiving (not by much).
Episode 242: Cool World (1992)
March 30, 2017 17:12 - 103 MBCool World was requested for this weeks show and boy it doesn't disappoint. It's bad, poor decisions were made and a razor thin script that really makes no sense. Bakshi at his lowest and most defeated by studios.
Episode 241: Death Machines (1976)
March 23, 2017 14:22 - 113 MBDeath machines are unstoppable but are they human or not? Can they be killed? If that wasn't enough they throw in a love story that makes zero sense and tease you with a hero who just turns out to to be a weak pathetic wimp. It's bad, really bad.
Episode 240: Summer Blockbusters (2017)
March 16, 2017 23:11 - 115 MBBlockbuster season is nearly here and with that comes movies that will either make or break the Spring and Summer season. We talk about movies like Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, Spider-man, Wonder Woman and a whole bunch more. Tune in!
Episode 239: Nocturnal Animals (2016)
March 09, 2017 19:14 - 101 MBSPOILER ALERT! We give Nocturnal Animals the proper review it deserves. A film snubbed at this year's Oscars except Best Supporting Actor by Michael Shannon nom. This film is so good you'll also wonder why it wasn't even a mention.
Episode 238: The 89th Oscars LIVE (2017)
February 27, 2017 09:11 - 218 MBThe 89th Academy awards are finally here! The wives join us for a short while as we commentate on the Oscars for the evening. Join us for every award and flub including the shocking ending as they announce Best Picture.
Episode 237: Oscar talk: Moonlight (2016)
February 24, 2017 16:22 - 53.6 MBMoonlight tells a story of a young boy through manhood. Through all of this you see the troubles and tribulations of what he's going through living in a rough neighborhood of Miami and also trying to survive without anyone knowing he's gay.
