Episodes
Episode 227: Death Wish 3 (1985)
January 19, 2017 23:45 - 99.5 MBDeath Wish not being a stranger to the show as we reviewed it back in episode 171 brings us back into the Death Wish series with part 3! Both Joey and Scott feel this is the best/worst film in the series makes for a fun review. Don't miss it.
Episode 226: Willow (1988)
January 05, 2017 21:18 - 96.2 MBWhen a director (Ron Howard) has a hit in the film Cocoon and doesn't know what to do next and an overhyped Director/writer (George Lucas) that's famous for only one thing get together, you get Willow! A total clunker.
Episode 225: Christmasucktastic! (2016)
December 15, 2016 19:14 - 90.5 MBWe get the Yule Log burnin', talk about Christmas movies like A Christmas Horror Story, National Lampoon's Christmas vacation, A Christmas Carol (2009), The Polar Express, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) etc, etc
Episode 224: January Films (2017)
November 03, 2016 17:15 - 110 MBAhhhh, the beloved January films episode is back! We talk about and watch all the trailers for all the films being released in January 2017. This January is going to be a doozy for bad films believe you me.
Episode 223: The Greasy Strangler (2015) Prince Of Darkness (1987)
October 27, 2016 12:10 - 133 MBThe second installment of this Halloween episode involves The Greasy Strangler, The Prince Of Darkness and more.
Episode 222: Pontypool (2008) Krampus (2015)
October 13, 2016 20:34 - 58.8 MBWe haven't had a Halloween episode in a long time so we decided to bring it back for October. We mainly talk about films we've never seen before such as Pontypool, Krampus and more.
Episode 221: Legend (1985)
September 29, 2016 15:19 - 65 MBKinda kicking off the Halloween vibe, the film Legend is on tap this week. We review Tony Scott's director's cut which is worlds better than the theatrical release. Yeah it has its problems, but overall solid.
Episode 220: Masters Of The Universe (1987)
September 22, 2016 19:32 - 82.1 MBDolph Lundgren was a hot commodity back in the 80s. So much that they decided to make a horrible movie based on the He-Man toy line. A golden opportunity wasted as the low budget killed this film before it even started.
Episode 219: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
September 01, 2016 18:08 - 78.2 MBAfter watching The Borrower the only obvious movie challenge this week is The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. When a couple is watching the movie in the movie The Borrower, it's a no brainer.
Episode 218: The Borrower (1991)
August 25, 2016 23:15 - 106 MBWhen an alien is banished to Earth for all its wrong doings, it goes on a murderous rampage "borrowing" the heads of its victims. Include a serial killer subplot with detective Rae Dawn Chong and you have one hell of a bad but kinda fun movie.
Episode 217: Like Father Like Son (1987)
August 18, 2016 11:15 - 91.8 MBKirk Cameron has never been liked on our show. Although this 80s body swap comedy brings Joey back to his younger years a bit. Scott's not on board even for the lovable Dudley Moore's performance.
Episode 216: Watermelon Man (1970)
July 28, 2016 21:12 - 78 MBWatermelon Man turned out to be a better film than expected. Still with a message that unfortunately still resonates to this very day. A recommended viewing.
Episode 215: Soul Man (1986)
July 21, 2016 16:21 - 77.4 MBSoul Man is Joey's challenge to Scott this week. Although we deem the film very tame for all the controversy it received back in the 80's there still is the fact that it's C. Thomas Howell in black face.
Episode 214: The Pass (1998)
July 14, 2016 19:43 - 98.6 MBThe Pass is the last film we're reviewing for our audience choice month. It's a good thing too because much like the title of the film, it's exactly what we should have done instead of reviewing it.
Episode 213: Night Of The Comet (1984)
June 23, 2016 11:43 - 64.3 MBNight of the Comet is the third film in our audience choice requests. Fortunately this is a film we really didn't mind doing, grew up with and actually like. All too easy.
Episode 212: B.C. Rock (1980) Thankskilling (2009)
June 15, 2016 13:23 - 117 MBB.C. Rock and Thankskilling are the first films to be reviewed in our audience choice month! There's a reason the films we review need to be a theatrical release. These are two prime examples.
Episode 211: God's Not Dead (2014)
June 02, 2016 18:43 - 83.3 MBReligion and God being no stranger to MST we look at God's Not Dead strictly for its cinematic mishaps and not so much its message or religious belief. With Newsboys and Duck Dynasty involved it's hard but we pretty much do it.
Episode 210: God Told Me To (1976)
May 26, 2016 14:23 - 85.2 MBWhen God tells you to do something you don't question it, you just do it. Especially when approached by Richard Lynch with a side vagina wanting to bear your children.
Episode 209: C.H.U.D. (1984)
May 19, 2016 23:54 - 76.8 MBRobert Downey Jr. once said that he enjoys the classics but sometimes he just likes to sit back and watch C.H.U.D. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. We're with you Robert, we're with you.
Episode 208: Frankenhooker (1990)
May 12, 2016 21:34 - 55.6 MBCould I pass up the connection of mad scientist from Re-Animator? Hell no! When Jeffery's fiance accidentally gets killed by a remote control lawn mower, he goes on the prowl for female body parts. Hilarity ensues.
Episode 207: Re-Animator (1985)
May 05, 2016 11:14 - 86.4 MBH.P. Lovecraft is known for many things, Cthulhu usually being the most known. Well kids, Re-Animator is one of his best and the film adaptation is as well. Take a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Episode 206: Robot Jox (1990)
April 21, 2016 17:24 - 111 MBRobot Jox is essentially rockem sockem robots the movie. With a decent budget that would make Pacific Rim point and laugh uncontrollably, it has its moments. Bad? Yeah. After R.O.T.O.R. last week, a masterpiece.
Episode 205: R.O.T.O.R. (1987)
March 24, 2016 12:14 - 92 MBR.O.T.O.R. is quite possible one of, if not the worst film MST has ever reviewed. I can't remember a time we've had it worse than this. The film is so bad you know it's staying in our movie collections for a long time to come.
Episode 204: Gwendoline (1984)
March 17, 2016 15:12 - 78.4 MBGwendoline is what you'd get if you crossed Indiana Jones with Emmanuelle. A sexually explicit adventure film with no shortage of horrible acting and bad dialogue. Even Tawny Kitaen's boobs can't save this one.
Episode 203: Oscar talk: The Big Short (2015)
March 04, 2016 10:18 - 45.4 MBThe Big Short is astounding. It gets it right where it needs to be and makes you root against the evil housing market and everyone involved. Although Joey goes on a political tangent and Scott has to bring us back a couple of times, it's worth it.
Episode 202: Oscar talk: Brooklyn (2015)
March 03, 2016 15:11 - 35.9 MBIf I didn't dig Irish chicks and redheads I probably wouldn't have shown up for this one. Seriously, a total snooze fest. If you like movies about the 50's, immigration and the most boring love triangle between two continents, this movie is for you.
Episode 201: Oscar talk: Bridge Of Spies (2015)
February 25, 2016 13:17 - 39.4 MBFrom the title, you know there are spies and a bridge involved somewhere. A recipe for Oscar nominations involves either Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg or the Coen brothers. This film has all three. Would it help? Nope. It won't win and it shouldn't.
Episode 200: Batman v Superman (2016)
February 24, 2016 12:16 - 84.5 MBBetter late than never I guess. Although this is our 200th episode, we recorded it on April 7th 2016. Why the wait? We tried to do something nice but failed miserbly. Instead, enjoy a SPOILER filled review of Batman v Superman! You've been warned.
Episode 199: Oscar talk: Spotlight (2015)
February 18, 2016 23:19 - 30.2 MBAlthough not a bad film, its been recognized and touted by subject matter alone. Nothing new has been brought to the table cinematically and it's dreadfully formulaic. Without the subject matter, mediocre and probably not a Best Picture nominee either.
Episode 198: Oscar talk: Room (2015)
February 11, 2016 22:10 - 39.2 MBIt's rare when a novel is adapted into its cinematic counterpart leaving you with all kinds of emotions. It's even rarer when the author writes the screenplay for said film and the result isn't a giant steaming pile of...you get the idea.
Episode 197: Oscar talk: The Revenant (2015)
February 04, 2016 19:20 - 38.1 MBOur favorite film from all the nominees and definitely what "should" be the clear cut winner. A near perfect film and under an even deeper analysis, it probably is. Innaritu will probably win Best Director as they will definitely split on Best Picture.
Episode 196: Oscar talk: Mad Max Fury Road (2015)
January 28, 2016 10:25 - 80.4 MBWith Mad Max being a sequel it's surprising it was nominated for Best Picture. What's not so surprising is just how damn good it is. Should it win? Probably not. Would we be disappointed? Not really.
Episode 195: Oscar talk: The Martian (2015)
January 21, 2016 11:35 - 61.2 MBThe Oscar season begins for Scott and Joey and what better way to kick things off than to review the film The Martian. This review Isn't totally spoiler free, just a heads up. Also, the lack of black Oscar nominees is discussed.
Episode 194: The Forest (2015) & Oscar Nominations (2016)
January 14, 2016 21:45 - 96.8 MBScott gives a spoiler free mini review of the horrible film The Forest. We also go in deep for this year's 2015 Oscar Nominations. A favorite of the show.
Episode 193: Star Wars January Awakens
January 06, 2016 23:15 - 107 MBStar Wars The Force Awakens is discussed spoiler free and of course our yearly show of talking about and watching ALL the trailers for the bad January films for 2016.
Episode 192: Saving Christmas (2014)
December 17, 2015 21:13 - 87.2 MBJoey and Scott celebrate the cinematic holiday season by diving hip-deep into what IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes have dubbed one of the worst Christmas movies of all time, Kirk Cameron's heroic attempt to keep the X out of Xmas, Saving Christmas (2014)
Episode 191: Eliminators (1986)
December 03, 2015 15:23 - 109 MBMore eighties badness as we review Eliminators! After the Mandroid is ordered to be destroyed he escapes only to come straight back to stop the evil scientist who should just be a plastic surgeon. Seriously, the guy is good.
Episode 190: Gymkata (1985)
November 19, 2015 11:53 - 84.9 MBGymkata is one of the pinnacle films that gave Moviesucktastic its humble beginnings. Bad movies like this are what fuels Scott and Joey to do MST. We give Gymkata the review it deserves, or doesn't. You be the judge.
Episode 189: The Keep (1983)
November 04, 2015 19:23 - 60.6 MBThe Keep was cut so badly by Paramount that Michael Mann hasn't ever revisited the film even for a restored version. There is supposedly a 210 minute cut of the movie too. Everyone loses, especially Scott and Joey.
Episode 188: Dracula (1992)
October 29, 2015 14:26 - 58 MBDracula (1992) ends our Halloween reviews for MST this month. We have a special guest, the mysterious Mr. Wilson to help! How does Joey fare against two Wilsons? Tune in and find out!
Episode 187: Halloween III (1982)
October 14, 2015 19:24 - 79.1 MBHalloween III may have been directed by Tommy Lee Wallace but has Carpenter's stamp literally everywhere. Shunned when it was released, we give it the proper accolades and review it deserves.
Episode 186: The Visit (2015)
October 08, 2015 11:54 - 76.2 MBM. Night Shyamalan's The Visit is actually a film that should put the director on the right path again. Due to the high turnaround of bad found footage films, this one is actually quite refreshing although bringing nothing new to the table. Listen now!
Episode 185: Innocent Blood (1992)
October 01, 2015 18:29 - 61.8 MBVampires and the mafia? In a new look at two age old genres, Scott ended up liking the film more than Joey. A horrible French accent, allowing said French accent to narrate, stereotypical Italian portrayals. Surprisingly could have been worse.
Episode 184: Loverboy (1989)
September 24, 2015 12:39 - 60.2 MBWhen slacker Randy (Patrick Dempsey) flunks college he ends up getting a Summer job delivering pizza and realizing that College is where he belongs. Along the way he unintentionally becomes the "love doctor of Beverly Hills". Extra anchovies please!
Episode 183: The Last American Virgin (1982)
September 10, 2015 16:29 - 56.8 MBThe Last American Virgin is an 80's teen sex comedy where creepy sexless Gary falls instantly in love with Karen. The soundtrack is great and Joey liked it more than Scott but he can't let go of how much they recycle the same songs. Priorities man.
Episode 182: Wes Craven Tribute
September 08, 2015 10:20 - 98.6 MBWes Craven has always been known for his horror films. For the most part they've been pretty good. Well the film My Soul To Take is arguably his worst film. In our own way, we celebrate the man who helped define horror as we know it.
Episode 181: It Follows (2014)
September 03, 2015 21:25 - 71.3 MBThe movie It Follows has garnered quite a bit of attention since its release. Very well reviewed and very well received, until Scott saw it. Hear the review and decide for yourself.
Episode 180: DUNE (1984)
August 20, 2015 23:15 - 104 MBAfter a small hiatus we review DUNE! The film, nearly as long as the hiatus even had Lynch say it was a mistake. We review the Alan Smithee cut of the film along with reminiscing about our old days of movie going.
Episode 179: Jurassic World (2015)
July 23, 2015 17:28 - 78.4 MBJurassic World broke the opening weekend record, is going on to be one of the biggest films ever made and still worse than the previous three movies. Were people jonesing that much for a new dinosaur movie? Yes, apparently.
Episode 178: Venom (1981)
July 16, 2015 13:22 - 60.1 MBWhen Tobe Hooper was removed from Venom for creative differences Scott and Joey never wondered why. They say there isn't one scene left in this movie that Hooper shot. Find out what we had to say.
