103: "If Taylor Negron Asks You To Train A Monkey..." - Funky Monkey (2004)/Steel Collar Man
March 25, 2017 19:21A few weeks ago we learned that something existed on the internet too intriguing not to be discussed. We watched the failed 1985 pilot for Steel Collar Man starring Charles Rocket as a robot. After that we talk about the 2004 comedy featuring SNL alum Gilbert Gottfried Funky Monkey. Matthew Modine rescues a monkey from an evil laboratory run by Taylor Negron and then takes him on a mission of self discovery. Is Taylor Negron making love to the camera? What convinced Matthew Modine to do ...
102: "Testing The Jew Pants" - North (1994)
March 18, 2017 18:45Rogert Ebert lived a long life and saw a lot of movies, this guy saw 'Caligula', 'Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot", every movie we've seen for this podcast, but no movie filled him with so much hate other than Rob Reiner's North from 1994. This is movie has a cavalcade of SNL alums including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Lovitz, Dan Aykroyd and Alan Zwiebel. Does the movie deserve the scorn it got? Yes and no, it's perfectly inoffensive but it does have its faults. Why would you put a character nam...
101: "Not Much, But I Did Take That Big Shit" - Wagons East (1994)
March 04, 2017 22:31You didn't think a 1990s western comedy could be worse than 'Almost Heroes', did you? Well we found some more scum at the bottom of that barrel that also features an SNL cast member. 'Wagons East' starring Richard Lewis and John Candy and featuring a pretty funny performance by Mr. I'm Gonna Say The F Word On Live TV Then Get Murdered In A Cornfield And Call It A Suicide himself, Charles Rocket. What a coincidence that 2 famous overweight comedians died filming bad western comedies. The m...
100: "Oh, Me Gibbers" - Johnny Be Good (1988)
February 26, 2017 09:00Happy 100th episode! In honor of that milestone we have accidentally unearthed one of the most incomprehensible movies ever made. It's Johnny Be Good starring SNL alums Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey, Jr. AMH plays a high school football star who is courted by college recruiters in this slightly absurd but painfully uninteresting film. If you like bad improv, RDJ mugging and screaming, kicks to the nuts and musicals about interracial romances then this is the movie for you. We fi...
