Episodes
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.

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.
Episode 177: Poltergeist (1982 and 2015)
June 25, 2015 19:23 - 114 MBA remake like Poltergeist can either be really good or really bad. Considering the first film is still such a classic was there really any other way than bad? We talk a lot about both films, Spielberg and Hooper!
Episode 176: Dracula's Daughter (1936) Murders In The Rue Morgue (1932)
June 18, 2015 17:13 - 82.1 MBCouldn't get enough of Lugosi last week? We review Dracula's Daughter (which Lugosi isn't even in) and Murders In The Rue Morgue. Also Mad Max Fury Road is talked about.
Episode 175: The Black Cat (1934) The Raven (1935)
June 11, 2015 13:23 - 67.2 MBBela Lugosi was a huge star of his time. Was he a great businessman? Probably not. Listen in as Scott and Joey review The Black Cat and The Raven all while talking about Satanism, Edgar Allen Poe and Hollywood.
Episode 174: The Punisher (1989)
May 21, 2015 19:25 - 85.4 MBTHE GUILTY WILL BE PUNISHED! Marvel has had a bad rap for comic book films and this is no different. Before everything turned around for them they were making films like The Punisher. We had fun on this one.
Episode 173: Dead Heat (1988)
May 14, 2015 15:45 - 81.5 MBIf you like lots of terrible one liners, semi decent special effects or just Joe Piscopo, this is the film for you. We no good reason to recommend this film to anyone but we kinda like it. We know it's bad and we're really OK with that.
Episode 172: Wise Guys (1986)
May 07, 2015 21:57 - 65.7 MBIn a surprise Scott vs Joey episode, we find out that Joey is just too exhausted to challenge Scott's accusations that the film Wise Guys is poorly acted and unfunny. Joey on the other hand feels the complete opposite.

April 30, 2015 23:37 - 83.3 MBSpecial guest Geno Cuddy joins the show to promote his new Local Access cable show Geno In the Evening. Also on tap is Joey and Scott's review of Death Wish. Clown Hammer!
Episode 170: Times Square (1980)
April 16, 2015 13:27 - 67.5 MBThis film takes place when NYC was still the sleazy sex driven porn laced city that it was. A coming of age story where two inner city girls meet and become unlikely friends. Surprisingly, there is quite a bit to the story. Check it out.
Episode 169: Snowpiercer (2013)
March 12, 2015 23:17 - 69.3 MBWhen you get a call from your co-host slightly drunk at a late hour asking to review a film, you oblige. We review the film Snowpiercer in all its "back of the bus" whacked mentality. Check out what Scott and Joey thought.
Episode 168: Phantom Of The Paradise (1974)
March 05, 2015 22:11 - 79.8 MBThe very first Scott vs Joey episode didn't go as planned. In what was a film (Phantom of the Paradise) Joey hated years ago and Scott loved, we find that Joey didn't hate it nearly as much as an adult and if it's at all possible Scott loves it even more.
Episode 167: 87th Academy Awards Live Coverage (2015)
February 23, 2015 12:21 - 204 MBIt's the 2015 Oscars and Scott and Joey are bringing it to you live, raw and completely off the cuff. We go through every award all while keeping a tally on who's winning the printable ballots we filled out. It's a fun show, check it out.

February 20, 2015 11:21 - 40.4 MBAlan Turing, the father of the computer was one of the biggest reasons World War II ended. He was able to create a machine that would crack the Nazis Enigma code. Our final Oscar film review and one of the better ones too.
Episode 165: Oscar Talk: Selma (2014)
February 19, 2015 19:25 - 40.9 MBSelma rarely amazes and many other films have done the same better. It's an otherwise OK movie but feel it probably shouldn't have been nominated in the first place. Joey's PC crashes yet again and Scott tries to stay away from politics during the review.
Episode 164: Oscar Talk: Birdman (2014)
February 16, 2015 14:45 - 61.2 MBBirdman is the type of film you may not know you like until after you see it. Everything in the film is done so well if you don't keep your eye on it you may miss something. We highly recommend it.
Episode 163: Oscar Talk: Whiplash (2014)
February 12, 2015 17:33 - 48.2 MBWhiplash is the kind of film you may feel a bit tense throughout the entire runtime. The reason? J K Simmons performance is outstanding. Nothing truly new brought to the table but what is brought is done damn well and to near perfection.
Episode 162: Oscar Talk: The Theory of Everything (2014)
February 09, 2015 07:43 - 38.9 MBThe Theory of Everything is this week's Oscar film up for review. Scott and Joey take a long look at the film, the story behind it and of course the Hawkman himself! He even stops by and says a few words throughout the show.
Episode 161: Oscar Talk: Boyhood (2014)
February 05, 2015 21:13 - 64.1 MBRichard Linklater's uninspiring, slow, when is something going to happen movie is nominated for best picture and Scott and Joey just don't know why. The odds of this film winning best picture are just too great for us to be comfortable with that.
Episode 160: Oscar Talk: American Sniper (2014)
February 02, 2015 19:33 - 54.9 MBChris Kyle was known to be the deadliest sniper in US history. In this special hybrid episode (also uploaded on Strangers) Scott and Joey talk about the movie, the book and most importantly Chris Kyle.
Episode 159: Oscar Talk: The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
January 29, 2015 16:13 - 46.1 MBDoes Wes Anderson finally have his best picture? Scott and Joey really hope so. Despite their dissatisfaction with the aspect ratio (Joey hated it more) it's a damn near perfect film.
Episode 158: Oscar Talk: Nightcrawler (2014)
January 22, 2015 18:11 - 108 MBIt's Oscar time! With the 2014 nominees being announced Scott and Joey spend some time and discuss. We also review the amazing film Nightcrawler (2014)
Episode 157: Bugsy Malone (1976)
January 08, 2015 17:21 - 60.1 MBBugsy Malone is a man about town in this all kid cast. Nothing like this has been done before and or since this film came out. Joey and Scott have fond memories from their childhood with a new perspective as adults.

Episode 155: Street Trash (1987)
December 11, 2014 17:15 - 68.6 MBThe best melt movie ever made? It's none other than Street Trash. A film with layers other than dirt. When a local liquor store owner finds bottles of Tenafly viper he starts selling them to the local homeless, they start melting!
Episode 154: Maniac Cop (1988)
November 20, 2014 15:25 - 59.6 MBA deranged ex-cop is going around killing innocent people and frames Bruce Campbell (Jack Forrest) for the whole thing. A stellar performance by Tom Atkins a no nonsense detective really brings this film home. Bruce ain't bad either.
Episode 153: Shocker (1989)
November 06, 2014 12:35 - 49.7 MBShocker can be campy at times but it's one of Scott and Joey's favorite 80's slasher horror movies. Serial killer Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi) steals the movie with a great performance where you're almost rooting for him.
Episode 152: Guilty As Charged (1991)
October 09, 2014 18:45 - 55.2 MBWhen Rod Steiger (Kallin) decides that the justice system is broken, he hunts down and electrocutes the very criminals that have gotten away with murder because of it.

September 11, 2014 14:34 - 78.3 MBThe Last Dragon is what we attempt to review this week. We have special guest Christian Wollner and Live Stream decides to crash my entire system all during our milestone 150th episode. Luckily I was able to salvage the show. Enjoy!
Episode 149: YouTube Sucks!
August 28, 2014 21:13 - 59.2 MBYouTube sucks! They will flag, dispute and take down videos of our show all under Fair use and we've had it. Share Scott and Joey's disgust in this very special FU episode to YouTube.
Episode 148: Jury Duty (1995)
August 14, 2014 19:23 - 61.5 MBWhen Pauly Shore has nowhere to live he decides that Jury Duty isn't such a bad idea after all. As he milks the system you only wish you were having your prostate milked instead.
Episode 147: Rappin' (1985)
July 24, 2014 16:13 - 76 MBRappin' (1985) is a lot less tough than it looks. No one can rap. No one can dance. And no one can certainly act. It's so bad Ice T had to rap over Mario Van Peebles voice.
Episode 146: Breakin' (1984) 2 Electric Boogaloo (1984)
July 17, 2014 13:11 - 87.1 MBBreakin' and Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo are on tap this week. It's the same film different titles, or is it same title different films, or maybe same genre but different plot structure? Ahhh, who gives a crap really?
Episode 145: Exterminator 2 (1984)

June 12, 2014 22:31 - 75.3 MBWhen John's best friend is attacked by the Ghetto Ghouls he takes action into his own hands and pleads to clean the city. A misleading poster, a clone of many other vigilante flicks and some of the worst pacing, foreshadowing and editing around.
Episode 143: Savage Streets (1984)
May 22, 2014 17:11 - 72.8 MBWhat do you get when you have Linda Blair in the beginning stages of the downward spiral of her career? That's right, Savage Streets! When her sister is raped and nearly beaten to death she goes on a vigilante death spree for REVENGE!

April 25, 2014 19:21 - 78 MBThe Beastmaster isn't just something my wife calls me, it's also our review this week. Join in the fun of this childhood classic that Scott and I grew up with. Swords, witchcraft, peta problems and oh yeah, bat shit crazy Rip Torn.
Episode 138: Defending Your Life (1991)
April 03, 2014 17:27 - 52.4 MBWhen Albert brooks dies in a car accident he's sent to Judgment City to defend his life. Everything is perfect about it except it's also unfortunately the deciding ground of whether you move on or get sent back to earth to try it all over again.
Episode 137: Visiting Hours (1982)
March 27, 2014 16:22 - 51.3 MBMichael Ironside has always been a solid but completely underused character actor. This film is no different. Does it fit the bad movie mold? A fun bad flick? Hell yes! Should Michael Ironside be wearing a leather wife beater? Probably not.
Episode 136: Hammer Of The Gods (2013)
March 20, 2014 11:12 - 49.1 MBIn a world of ash and death it seems that all the hip Norsemen like listening to dub step. I'm guessing when they aren't over acting and spending as little money as possible on the film they are tripping balls with glow sticks somewhere in a cave.
Episode 135: Leonard Part 6 (1987)
February 12, 2014 19:11 - 60.8 MBBill Cosby decided to make a movie in 1987 called Leonard Part 6 that he was directly responsible for. Scott and Joey have decided to review that movie from a listener suggestion. Bad idea.
Episode 134: Philip Seymour Hoffman
February 06, 2014 17:43 - 73.7 MBIn this episode Scott and Joey shamelessly whore themselves out by doing an entire show on Philip Seymour Hoffman movies due to his recent death. It's actually not that bad.
Episode 133: The Wolverine (2013)
January 30, 2014 13:33 - 75.5 MBHow many topics can Joey and Scott get sidetracked on while trying to review yet another wildly mediocre superhero film that shoots its creative wad in the first ten minutes? Listen in and find out.
