Ep.46 The Manchurian Candidate

August 12, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 97.3 MB

Dave and Brandon are back with some hot brainwashing tips in this week's review: The Manchurian Candidate (1962 & 2004). Brandon means things in the moment (and only in the moment), almost said tranny, and puts ketchup on his hotdogs (very immature). Dave thinks Hollywood is full of pedophiles, wouldn't know what it's like to be inflamatory, and might be ready for an insurance based gender change. Always dress the dog, not the bun. #headphoneglasses #nhdsc #hotdogporn #Qanon #theinternetisfo...

Ep.45 99% Sure #7 - This one might actually need a TRIGGER WARNING (It definitely needs a ***spoiler warning: SOLO***)

August 05, 2018 22:00 - 2 hours - 154 MB

Dave and Brandon team up with Ian for the longest (and probably most offensive) episode of 99% Sure to date. The trio cover some taboo topics in an attempt to have a meaningful discussion without referencing the internet (seriously, don't let your kids listen to this one). Ian shows up early, is pro-abortion (and anti-pedophile), and he thinks if you're over the age of 50 there's no use for you (but he doesn't need therapy). Brandon shows up late, has never heard of potatoes behind your ears...

Ep.44 Mr. Deeds #2 (plus some Trump and ***SOLO SPOILERS***)

July 29, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 133 MB

Dave and Brandon get totally sidetracked in the second part of their epic Mr. Deeds two-parter. Join our dynamic duo as they discuss everything from Trump to immigration to Solo: A Star Wars Disaster. Brandon teaches us about shipping, has an iced tea related mishap, and doesn't get the least bit aggitated about Trump (jk, he's pissed). Dave is a moderate douchebag, stands up for black hole rights, and is totally cool with what Disney has done to Star Wars (yup, no problems). Women don't lik...

Ep.43 Mr. Deeds #1

July 22, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 91.5 MB

Dave and Brandon throw down with this week's review of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) and Mr. Deeds (2002). Brandon has testicles on the brain, supports women having jobs, and thinks Frank Capra is BS. Dave is worried about Kanye, goes to war with a knat, and is straight fire now so he doubts a depression will change that. You don't see street sticks anymore. #bossbuddy #sharpestcog #careerliving #mrrogers #kazaam #spawn #whatwedointheshadows #alsharpton #johnmcenroe #greekswitgifts #garycoop...

Ep.42 Bedazzled

July 15, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Dave and Brandon make a deal with the devil on this week's episode as the duo review Bedazzled (1967) and Bedazzled (2000). Brandon can't be bothered to watch a movie he claims to love, and gets "abused" (this is what you're here for), but he knows his Faust; so at least he's got that going for him...which is nice. Dave agrees with Brandon (or maybe not), battles with The Daily Motion in a struggled to the death, and tells the world about Coca Cola. And now, nuns on trampolines. #stbwauconda...

Ep.41 RECAP Episode

July 08, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 94.6 MB

 Dave and Brandon forget to watch a movie, but that's OK, because they're never short on BS. We catch up with some current events and reminisce about some of the movies they've watched. Brandon doesn't like immigrants (although he seems uncomfortable around white people too), knows what pour-over-coffee is (how posh), and screws with the mic for about 8 minutes (don't worry, most of it gets removed in post). Dave is either a porn nazi or he watches nazi porn (we're still unclear on which), c...

Ep.40 The Time Machine

July 01, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

Dave and Brandon try desperately to avoid a paradox this week as they review The Time Machine (1960 & 2002) - apparently there was one in 1978 too but no one has ever heard of that one. Brandon is single AND employed (ladies), does the podcast naked (ladies), and might be screwing up the into on purpose (but probably not, ladies). Dave's had it up to here to Nazis and porn (as suffixes), switches back to beer (for health reasons), and might be slightly facetious (all the time). God bless Ame...

Ep.39 Conan: The Barbarian

June 24, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 132 MB

Dave and Brandon get downright brutal with their review of Conan: The Barbarian (1982 and 2011). Brandon is a wayward spirit (or a rose), thinks Arnold is an "actor", and is super afraid of bugs. Dave kicks of his lecture series, wines about Windows 10, and could think of worse things to do with children. You remember that time Arnold nailed his maid? #savedaveswindows #discipline #writethatdown #infinitywar #mehsolo #funny #happy #love    ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast H...

Ep.38 99% Sure #6

June 17, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 123 MB

Dave and Brandon are once again joined by Ian for an under informed, half-cocked conversation of quasi-truths and partial falsehoods. From movies to Mexicans these three try to have an intelligent conversation without any access to the internet. Ian doesn't spoil movies, calls out Putin, and isn't better than you. Brandon gets squeamish, supports a robot's right to choose, and firmly disavows pizza-gate. Dave knows how to treat a lady, admits to being upper upper class, and probably texted y...

Ep.37 99% Sure #5

June 10, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 82.4 MB

Dave and Brandon continue their adventures during Ben's visit with this week's episode of 99% Sure. The trio discuss everything from VR to healthcare all while trying to avoid the internet at all costs. Ben hates Marvel movies, abuses services designed for the handicapped, and doesn't know his girlfriend's phone number. Brandon continues to complain about headphones and do nothing about it, still doesn't have any answers, and thinks the worst thing in the world might be a dry sandwich. Dave ...

Ep.36 The Blue Brothers

June 04, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 91.2 MB

Dave and Brandon are joined this week by long time friend, Ben "El Pato Blanco". The trio dive into the excellence that is The Blues Brothers (1980) and also watch Blues Brothers 2000 (1998). Ben was physically injured by this remake, supports more consistent car crashes, and disapproves of blue legend porn. Brandon doesn't believe in Alex Jones, can't handle all these movies he has to watch (the humanity!), and he gets it; Breaking Bad is good. Dave watches a whole different movie, supports...

Ep.35 Red Dawn

May 27, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 99.2 MB

Dave and Brandon wish you a safe and happy Memorial Day with their review of Red Dawn (1984) and Red Dawn (2012). Thanks to all those who sacrifice so that we may BBQ in peace. Brandon says screw poor people, practically gets into a car accident, and dares to hassle the Hoff. Dave thinks all asians look alike, doesn't play Seattle, and is pro Second Amendment (have you heard?). We all miss Emilio Estevez. #tigerblood #biwinning #trump #tigerenergy #whereisemilio #canuk #donthasslethehoff #wo...

Ep.34 Jumanji (Kind Of)

May 21, 2018 00:34 - 1 hour - 67.7 MB

Dave and Brandon are joined by Ian for their review of Jumanji (1995) and Jumanji (2017)...kind of. Brandon fell in mortal combat, but Ian shows up and he watched the movies (sort of)! Ian also doesn't get symbolism, enjoys standup at funerals, and is probably going to vote for The Rock in the next election. Dave isn't down with DMX night, has to try to keep this train on the track (for a change), and he hasn't even been keeping up with the Kardashians. We have way too much fun with the soun...

Ep.33 The Italian Job

May 13, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 73.8 MB

Dave and Brandon grab a hold of their spicy meatballs and hang on for dear life with this weeks review of The Italian Job (1969) and The Italian Job (2003). Brandon smells like onions, is really sorry about his comments concerning dykes, and tries to clock out at 51 minutes in (spoiler, Dave isn't having it). Dave gets all self-helpy, stands up for comics and The Bill of Rights (both important), and confuses Ukrainians and Armenians (he doesn't see color). No fish, no fungus, no virgins. #he...

Ep.32 King Kong (Part 2)

May 06, 2018 15:33 - 1 hour - 99.9 MB

Dave and Brandon return with the conclusion of their latest two-parter, King Kong! This week our heros review Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005) and Kong: Skull Island (2017). Brandon forgets work was so much work, gets freaked out by the bible (is he a vampire?), and chokes on his own white privilege. Dave takes us to book club, teaches us about planking, and thinks Stalin didn't get enough credit. Not to be taken as professional or legal advice. #woke #dragonenergy     ***THIS PODCAST CONT...

Ep.31 King Kong (Part 1)

April 29, 2018 22:03 - 1 hour - 97 MB

Dave and Brandon swing into action once again with the first half of this epic two parter! The duo undertake the first two iterations of this classic tale starting with their review of King Kong (1933) and King Kong (1976). Brandon thinks the 30s might have been racist, becomes visably uncomfortable at the the idea of "Kong Porn", and does a super offensive Italian accent. Dave gets weird in the shower, gives us a lesson in economics, and is decidedly NOT on the level. Apes aren't monkeys, t...

Ep.30 99% Sure #4

April 22, 2018 20:45 - 1 hour - 105 MB

Dave and Brandon bring back Ian for the newest instalment of 99% Sure.  The trio do their best to have a conversation without checking their phones or getting distracted by the NHL Playoffs.  Ian still isn't sure what we're doing here, can't remember what we talked about last time (Star Wars and his dead grandma), and is an excellent poet despite not being able to read.  Brandon (despite being exhausted) schools us on auxiliary verbs, gets into lacrosse and other sports, and could possible b...

Ep.29 The Nutty Professor

April 15, 2018 20:00 - 1 hour - 88.1 MB

Dave and Brandon go back to school (no, not the Rodney Dangerfield one) when they review The Nutty Professor (1963) and The Nutty Professor (1996). Brandon is "ok" with blackface, thinks all barbers look alike, and desperately needs to check his privelege. Dave gets triggered, does questionable (and probably offensive) accents, and lets us know why things are racist. Dean Martin was a prick, but at least he had thumbs.    ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up at: naftc...

Ep.28 Superman (Part 2)

April 08, 2018 15:30 - 1 hour - 105 MB

Dave and Brandon return from Krypton with Part 2 of their epic Superman review. Brandon throws out the script, might be in love with Parker Posey, and definitely knows his Krull trivia (which, frankly, makes him better than you). Dave thinks an ocean of skulls is a deal breaker, has zero respect for Bruce Wayne, and gets way too comfortable (which makes Brandon extremely uncomfortable). We imagine the audience naked.     ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up at: naftca...

Ep.27 Superman (Part 1)

April 01, 2018 18:37 - 1 hour - 80.6 MB

Dave and Brandon come out of the gate faster than a speeding bullet with their review of not two, but THREE Superman movies: Superman (1978), Superman Returns (2006), and Man of Steel (2013). Find out which films were more powerful than a locomotive and which ones didn’t quite clear a building in a single bound in the first half of this epic two-parter! Brandon gets a job so he can buy fidget spinners, screws up the intro again (seriously, still?), and thinks all editors look alike. Dave won...

Ep.26 Star Trek and Star Trek: The Motion Picture

March 26, 2018 02:13 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

Dave and Brandon can't help themselves when it comes to this week's review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) and just plain Star Trek (the movie, but they don't say that in the title, like that isn't confusing, anyway it's the one from 2009). Brandon brings trivia (ladies), hates delineation and might also hate Dave (fair enough). Dave has beef with JJ Abrams, can't understand celibacy, and doesn't actually edit anything he says he will. Should we be eating dogs?     ***THIS PODCAST ...

Ep.25 Willy Wonka (and Charlie) & the Chocolate Factory

March 18, 2018 23:11 - 1 hour - 85.7 MB

Dave and Brandon travel to the past and bring you an episode that should have aired pre-noreaster, as tehy review Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). Brandon (still unemployed way back then) tries selling chocolate wizard insurance, barely avoids offending brown people, and is betting this is all a Michael Jackson metaphore. Dave gives us a crash course in candy law, thinks this would have been better as a horror movie, and is pretty sure ...

Ep.24 Total Recall

March 11, 2018 20:01 - 2 hours - 138 MB

Dave and Brandon are back! After a completely unplanned, weather incited break the duo return with their review of Total Recall (1990 & 2012). Turn this one way up because we're recording remotely from the home of our gracious guest/host, our old pal, Nick D! Brandon gets new lips, screws up the intro (take two?), and knows way too much abbout 7th Heaven. Nick dishes about Tom Cruise, can't stand boardroom decisions, and really just showed up for some Schwarzenegger chuckles. Dave tells us w...

Ep.23 BONUS Episode #3 - Ian Doesn't Show Up

February 28, 2018 21:45 - 1 hour - 52.2 MB

Dave and Brandon travel back to September 2017 when they originally recorded this gem of an episode. Brandon gets personal (resulting in edits to remove TMI), rebrands "enhanced interrogation", and might be a racist. Dave hasn't figured out the new "studio" yet (so everything is super low) but that doesn't stop him from voicing all sorts of questionable opinions. We discuss some very old current events and Christine talks like almost the whole time. Oh and Ian never shows up.      ***THIS ...

Ep.22 99% Sure #3

February 25, 2018 21:29 - 1 hour - 91.3 MB

Dave and Brandon are joined by Ian and the trio attempt to discuss current events without consulting the web. Brandon gives us the scoop on Russian Twitter bots. Dave fills us in on some recent drama. Ian learns how combustion engines work...maybe. Someone on Facebook hates us, and that's awesome.    ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up at: [email protected]  Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NobodyAskedForThisPodcast/  Follow us on Twitter: @naftcast ...

Ep.21 Star Trek: Discovery #14-15

February 18, 2018 22:38 - 1 hour - 70 MB

Dave and Brandon get beamed up for the last time (until the next time) when they review the Star Trek: Discovery episodes "The War Without, The War Within" and "Will You Take My Hand?" Brandon screws up the intro (again), educates us on mole people, and desperately tries to keep Dave on task. Dave has too much love (especially for trans people) and he's confident there are incriminating photos of Tom Hanks out there. Brian Regan hates Chinese people.     ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS**...

Ep.20 BONUS Episode #2 - Las Vegas Vacation

February 18, 2018 22:38 - 1 hour - 63.4 MB

Dave and Brandon get completely off track (well, Dave does) with a recap of Dave's recent vacation. Some people would toss that stuff, but not us! Brandon's job hunt heats up. Dave regails us with tales of getting drunk at the round table and legal weed.     ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up at: [email protected] Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NobodyAskedForThisPodcast/ Follow us on Twitter: @naftcast See that we don't know how to operate instag...

Ep.19 Point Break

February 12, 2018 04:10 - 2 hours - 127 MB

Dave and Brandon get totally gnarly when they drop in with their review of Point Break (1991) and Point Break (2015). Brandon screws up the intro this time around, calls Gary Busey crazy (dangerous), and decidedly would not bang Teresa Palmer (sure Brandon). Dave sticks it to feminism, displays a complete lack of understanding for football (plus some bad Super Bowl predictions), and dishes out some dip recipes (btw you were thinking of Paul Rudd, buddy). Forny calls in accidentally and we go...

Ep.18 99% Sure #2

February 04, 2018 21:44 - 1 hour - 83.7 MB

Dave and Brandon sit down with their buddy Justin to discuss everything from life and death car accidents, to IT tips, to Turkish drones. Brandon isn't sure about the soundboard situation and had had enough of Dave's inability to understand social media. Dave Dave gets offended on behalf of men everywhere, leanrs about sissy porn, and says "like" about 100 times. Justin invents skareboard shoes and is unusually gassy. We all learn what makes you gay (spoiler, it's NCIS) and pick election can...

Ep.17 Star Trek Discover #12-13

February 04, 2018 21:29 - 1 hour - 80 MB

Dave and Brandon get the D when they review the next two episodes of Star Trek Discover "Vaulting Ambition" and "What's Past is Prologue". Brandon gives us some insight into his browsing habits and is too cool for just about everything (including listening to this podcast). Dave manages to screw up the into (but leaves it in) and might be suffereing from memory loss, also he screws up the intro. We realize we might know next to nothing about the Southern Hemisphere.    ***THIS PODCAST CONT...

Ep.16 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

January 29, 2018 02:23 - 1 hour - 101 MB

Dave and Brandon throw down with some mad ninja skills when they review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014). Brandon hates Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Megan Fox, Whoopi Goldberg, and Ernie Reyes Jr.; plus he’s pro baby murder. Dave explains AIDS, forgets when he was born, and still isn’t on Twitter. There’s a heated disagreement about pizza and business cards.    ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up at: [email protected] ...

Ep.15 Star Trek: Discovery #10-11

January 21, 2018 23:43 - 1 hour - 75.6 MB

Dave and Brandon go back to their roots with the return of Star Trek: Discovery. The duo step through the looking glass when they review "Despite Yourself" and "The Wolf Inside". Brandon finally puts together that schedule and flip flops on his view of the mirror universe (does anyone stand for anything anymore?). Dave takes too much credit for our new theme music (thanks Eric!) and engages the sound board! We all learn that mirror hos are DTF.      ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #n...

Ep.14 99% Sure #1

January 21, 2018 23:42 - 1 hour - 78.1 MB

Dave and Brandon launch their first episode of their new format: 99% Sure. The duo is joined by Ian as the three try to hash out current events while not consulting the internet (they fail, give em a break, they're still ironing this stuff out). From celebs to presidents who also happen to be celebs; these three run the gamet. No topic is off limits and no hosts are less informed. Let's see who's full of it.    ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up at: [email protected]...

Ep.13 Godzilla

January 14, 2018 18:29 - 1 hour - 92.5 MB

Dave and Brandon go nuclear with their review of Godzilla (1998) and Godzilla (2014). Brandon teaches us about the SKREONK and other Godzilla trivia (for the ladies).

January 07, 2018 21:12 - 1 hour - 88.5 MB

Dave and Brandon wake the dead with this week’s review of The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy (2017).  The pair get sidetracked on everything from eyebrows to cryptocurrency.

Dave teaches us about Stitcher and tells us what he really thinks of Tom Cruise as a person. The duo announce an additional format and we are all surprised at Brandon’...

Ep.11 Ghostbusters

December 31, 2017 19:32 - 1 hour - 82.6 MB

Dave and Brandon prove they ain't afraid of no ghosts when they review Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters (2016). The pair wonder who they’re gonna call as they have creative differences over ghost BJs. Brandon pushes through a migraine and leaves his vape at home, but not because he wanted to.  Dave calls out Bill Murray and is still upset about “Happy Holidays”, but he’s coming around. We all agree that chicks can’t shoot.      ***THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS*** #naftcast Hit us up...
