This week we go full blown mid-nineties nostalgic and gear up to join the Tune Squad.

So get ready, because this week we're asking if Space Jam holds up!

180: First Blood

January 15, 2018 01:56 - 1 hour - 101 MB

This week, we go back to a classic from that other buff action star that isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm talking about Sylvester Stallone and that hero he played named John. Because this week, we watched First Blood. The story of John the Vietnam War veteran and the small town sheriffs that made his visit miserable. John finds himself trying to survive both physically and mentally. Does John's story hold up? Listen and find out, boppers!

The new year has begun and with it we return for a brand new episode! Now that everyone is well rested from our holiday party two weeks ago, we decided now's as good a time as any to take a look at what is largely considered a comedy classic: Caddyshack!

December 22, 2017 07:57 - 51 minutes - 72.4 MB

The holiday is upon us, and so we've decided to spend the time Home Alone! Watching Home Alone that is! Meanwhile, Aaron and Travis keep the party they started last week going with some disastrous results as one falls flat on his face and the other starts to vomit. Things go off the rails in a way that just screams Plain Zero holiday special. So here it is, the last new episode of the year! We'll see you again in 2018, boppers! And thanks, for joining us for our shenanigans every week!

177: Gremlins

December 18, 2017 01:55 - 1 hour - 108 MB

Christmas continues to barrel towards us like a freight train without breaks, and as we brace for the inevitable impact, we take a moment to look at another holiday disaster, namely, what happens when you give someone a Christmas gift that has rules: Gremlins. And since one holiday deserves another, Aaron and Travis toast each other and decide to party up in here with some alcohol.

176: How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

December 11, 2017 04:45 - 1 hour - 107 MB

This week, we try to end Christmas. And this movie definitely causes some of our disdain as it helps to take us out of the spirit. This week, we're asking if Ron Howard's attempt to bring Jim Carrey's portrayal of the Grinch to life holds up!

175: The Santa Clause

December 04, 2017 07:59 - 1 hour - 89.8 MB

We're officially into the month of December, which means we're officially into the Christmas season. And that can only mean one thing, and no, it's not another month of Pauly Shore movies, it's a month of Christmas movies. Starting things off this year with that movie with the Home Improvement guy: Tim Allen. This week, we're asking if The Santa Clause holds up!

174: Toys

November 27, 2017 01:33 - 1 hour - 100 MB

This week finds us in that weird in between time of after Thanksgiving but before December, so we decided to watch a movie that we weren't really sure if it was a Christmas movie: Toys. That's right, we're actually asking if that movie that stars Robin Williams and LL Cool J holds up.

173: Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom

November 20, 2017 08:50 - 1 hour - 106 MB

The week of Thanksgiving is upon, so it's time to be thankful for fedoras and whips. It's probably also time to be thankful that no one really eats the dishes that are being eaten during the big dinner seen in this week's movie: Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom!
