Episodes
Under Siege (1992)
November 07, 2018 03:19 - 1 hour - 54.6 MBEveryone has that phase they'd rather not talk about. For some, it's when they wore JNCO jeans. For others, it's when they thought that two-tone ska tattoo was a good idea; or when dating skaters seemed cool. If the 1990s were a woman, Steven Seagal would be the phase she wishes she could forget. But we're braver than that, so we're diving into his best work, "Under Siege," to see if there's anything we can salvage from the murky depths of bad action flicks. Big D, Roger Roeper, and Ge...
Beetlejuice (1988)
October 29, 2018 15:43 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBThere isn't a soul in this world or the next who doesn't love "Beetlejuice." It's Michael Keaton at his best. It's Tim Burton at his best. It's Geena Davis at her best. It's Alec Baldwin at his handsomest. And it's the role that made Winona Ryder's career (sorry, Stranger Things). Beetlejuice is everywhere each Halloween season, which makes it easy to watch the movie without really WATCHING it. Well, we did. And we've got a few things to talk about: Big D's fear of small towns which ban...
Pet Sematary (1989)
October 24, 2018 16:12 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB"Pet Sematary" might be Stephen King's biggest '80s movie hit, but is it any good after 30 years? That depends on whether you value good moviemaking over good writing. Find out what The Ramones had to do with getting this movie made, why you shouldn't let your cat outside, when it's safe to picnic in Maine, why Fred Gwynne sounds like a '40s detective, and why Cemetery is spelled Sematary. Kerri Gross, Dick Ebert, and Gene Lyons also cover: horrendous parenting skills even worse fence...
Friday The 13th (1980)
October 18, 2018 07:45 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB"Friday the 13th" changed the world of horror movies when in debuted in 1980, picking up the slasher flick genre where "Halloween" left off. The cast's biggest star was an unknown Kevin Bacon, and the budget was a measly $550,000. With that, "Friday The 13th" made Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhees, and "Ki ki ki, ma ma ma" household names. King Bee guest hosts this episode of Shat The Movies as we compare cultural appropriation with cultural celebration, discuss checking dog dicks to addre...
Halloween (1978)
October 12, 2018 20:54 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBHalloween is in the air, and the Shat crew is ready to get spoopy! Forty years after "Halloween" introduced America to Michael Myers and one week before Jamie Lee Curtis returns in the 11th installment of the series, we examine the original to see if it holds up. Big D explains the "Star Trek" origins of the Michael Myers mask and questions the reality of babysitter sex. Gene dives deep into the history of Judith Myers' boobs. And Kerri Gross asks just how far a man can carry a 150-pound h...
Gleaming The Cube (1989)
October 04, 2018 07:21 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB"Gleaming The Cube" brought skateboard culture to the big screen with one of the weirdest plots we've seen to date: A skater Christian Slater investigates the accidental murder of his adopted Vietnamese brother while Tony Hawk delivers pizza. The villains are stereotypical. The action scenes defy the laws of physics. The blood looks more like Kool-Aid, and the romance is just plain creepy. But there's something about "Gleaming The Cube" that's made it a cult classic despite what Big D call...
When Harry Met Sally (1989)
September 27, 2018 00:55 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBIf you've never fallen in love with a friend, consider yourself lucky. If you've ever fallen in love with a friend, consider this romcom a treasure. "When Harry Met Sally" used to just be "That Meg Ryan orgasm scene movie" when we were kids. But like the title characters, we've grown up and better understand the intricacies of romance. The question of "Can men and women be just friends?" and concept of "high maintenance" are a lot more relevant at 31 than 13. Kerri, Big D, and Gene get ...
My Cousin Vinny (1992)
September 21, 2018 22:44 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBWhen you think "My Cousin Vinny," you might think "Joe Pesci comedy classic," but there's a lot more to this 1992 North-meets-South courtroom farce. For Gene, there's Marisa Tomei at her finest: A charming Mona Lisa Vito with a heart of gold and a wardrobe to match. She's the ultimate '90s Italian heartthrob who delivers the best lines of the movie. For Roger, there's beloved Fred Gwynne in his final film role. TV's Herman Munster brings warm and gentle comedy to Vinny's Judge Chamberlai...
Last Action Hero (1993)
September 05, 2018 20:56 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBArnold Schwarzenegger considered "Last Action Hero" the beginning of the end of his film career. After a string of blockbusters, Arnold had a flop on his hands. "Last Action Hero" — a self-referential parody of every action movie that made Arnold's career — didn't sit well with fans who didn't know what to make of it. Oh, and it was competing with a little movie called "Jurassic Park." But there's a lot to love about this cinematic oddity: intentionally painful puns, boundless cameos, pu...
Arachnophobia (1990)
August 30, 2018 01:49 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBWhen "Arachnophobia" was released in in 1990, advertisers were uncertain as to whether they should market the film as a thriller or a comedy. Therefore, television spots promoting the film billed it as a "thrill-omedy". Apparently, nobody saw Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters II. With Gene out traveling, Big D & Roger welcome back Kerri Gross to the podcast as they relive some of their most harrowing experiences with the movie as well as real-life encounters with arachnids. How many bugs cra...
Armageddon (1998)
August 23, 2018 22:19 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB"Armageddon" showed us exactly what happens when mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer teams up with ultra-director Michael Bay: Everything's big, loud, and explodey. The 1998 summer blockbuster mixed an all-star cast with top-notch special effects and all the flag-waving that could be crammed into 160 minutes. Big D, Roger, and Gene blast off for disaster when they discuss the confusing science behind "Armageddon," weigh its merits, and explore if its jokes can still be considered funny in 201...
Road House (1989)
August 16, 2018 05:22 - 1 hour - 65.3 MB“Road House” invented the good bad movie. But was it actually any good? Patrick Swayze was charming but grossly undersized. The script was quotable but largely nonsense. And did you know Road House is two words? Whether you relished Sam Elliot’s smooth bass and glorious mane or cringed at the ridiculousness of tearing out throats, one thing is for sure: the boobs, butts, and bar fights were pure ‘80s.

In The Mouth of Madness (1994)
August 09, 2018 20:53 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB"In The Mouth of Madness" is a cult film that pioneered themes that pushed the boundaries of cinema from 1994 to present day: self-referential film making, Lovecraftian horror, and the general questioning of reality. But does it deserve to be labeled a horror classic? Every spooky twist on insanity is hamstrung by an awkward acting performance. Every slimy John Carpenter monster is countered by a bizarre herpes kid. This is a movie of high aspirations and stumbling execution. How does it a...
Heat (1995)
August 06, 2018 03:28 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBWas "Heat" a star-studded, heart-racing heist movie or a bloated collection of subplots better suited to a mini-series? Michael Mann's masterpiece put Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on the screen together for the first time, and its star-studded cast included Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Bud Cort, Hank Azaria, Dennis Haysbert, and a young Natalie Portman. In this edition of Shat The Movies, Big D analyzes the famous Los Angeles shootout (Gene's favorite shootout outside of "The Way ...
Labyrinth (1986)
July 28, 2018 04:58 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBA 40-year-old, hypersexualized rock star in a codpiece who calls himself a Goblin King steals a baby and tries to seduce the child's 15-year-old sister among dismembered Muppets, roofies, and suggestive lyrics. Yeah, we're gonna keep this one real professional. You get ALL FOUR SHAT THE MOVIES HOSTS IN ONE! Roger sees masterful symbolism. Gene hears is gorgeous music. Kerri flashes back to her childhood, and Dick is scandalized by the treatment of children. Chilly Down with us; do a Ma...
The Goonies (1985)
July 19, 2018 21:02 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBWas Chunk fat-shamed or fat-famed? Does foreclosure really need to be explained? What's the proper etiquette for wishing well coin collection? And does One-Eyed Willy's hoard count as buried treasure or a fortune lost at sea? Gene and Big D fight for the honor of "The Goonies" as Roger argues it's childish nonsense. In "The Gooonies," a band of kids who live in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Ore., attempt to save their homes from demolition, and, in doing so, discover an old Sp...
The Terminator (1984)
July 12, 2018 19:31 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBArnold Schwarzenegger plays the Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose son will one day become a savior against machines in a post-apocalyptic future. Michael Biehn plays Kyle Reese, a soldier from the future sent back in time to protect Connor.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
July 01, 2018 05:39 - 1 hour - 54 MBKurt Russell plays hard-boiled truck driver Jack Burton, who gets caught in a bizarre conflict within, and underneath, San Francisco's Chinatown. An ancient Chinese prince and Chinatown crime lord has kidnapped a beautiful green-eyed woman, who is the fiancee to Jack's best friend. Jack must help his friend rescue the girl before the evil Lo Pan uses her to break the ancient curse that keeps him a fleshless and immortal spirit.

Showgirls (1995)
May 17, 2018 17:48 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBLike Cristal Connors (Gina Gershon) and Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) bonding over their shared joy of eating the same brand of dog food, Roger, Dick and Kerri sit down to discuss the 1995 Paul Verhoeven "Classic" Showgirls. Showgirls promised to expose the inside workings of Las Vegas, stripping, and hooking... but instead all we learn about was the hazards of monkey-poo on stage, unexpected uses for ice cubes and how to get beaten into a coma by a superstar musician.

The Big Lebowski (1998)
May 02, 2018 21:37 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBJeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski who insists on being called "the Dude," a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money -- resulting in the Dude having his rug soiled, sending him spiraling into the Los Angeles underworld.

Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
April 09, 2018 03:42 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBCan you really call it a movie "Speed" when it only goes 17 knots? Can you call a movie "Speed" when it doesn't have Keanu Reaves? Can you even call this thing a movie? Impossible physics, premarital bickering, misplaced comedy, pedophilia, and a fundamental misunderstanding of copper poisoning make this one of the worst films Shat The Movies has reviewed.

Rounders (1998)
April 09, 2018 03:38 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBPoker talk, smart voiceovers, Matt Damon in gigantic clothes, Ed Norton as Tyler Durden, John Malkovich butchering an accent, and John Turturro showing his deeper side. "Rounders" is the gold standard for poker movies, and listener Greg R. loves it so much he sponsored this review. In this episode, Roger reveals his gambling addiction. Gene reveals his heartbreaking struggles with friendship, and Big D gets turned on by jargon. Plus, explore the theory that "Rounders" is just "Fight Club" ...
Spaceballs (1987)
April 01, 2018 03:58 - 1 hour - 43.6 MBSpaceballs wins our Best of John Candy category, bringing Roger and Gene together against Big D for the first time ever. Hop aboard the Spaceball One as we blast through the fourth wall, celebrate Rick Moranis, learn about George Lucas' involvement, and debate whether this movie is funny at all. Roger quotes basically the entire movie. Gene gives in to a rare laughing fit. And Big D assumes he's being punked by their enthusiasm. Shop Amazon With Our Free Affiliate Link: https://www.amazon...
Backdraft (1991)
March 20, 2018 19:33 - 1 hour - 44.8 MBBackdraft taught us to yell at fires, run into burning buildings, cool off our sexy bods by firehose, and never, ever let our estranged sons help us make breakfast. And who knew you could make millions converting firehouses into community centers? There's a lot of wisdom in this 1991 Ron Howard cheesefest, but very little of it has to do with fire. Big D examines when it's OK to bang your ex-wife. Gene cautions against lit cigarettes at arson investigations, and Roger gives a lesson on com...
Real Genius (1985)
March 13, 2018 14:45 - 1 hour - 51.1 MBA deliciously young Val Kilmer, an even more delicious young Sarah Jessica Parker (played by Gabriel Jarret), a billion lasers, boring montages, horny cosmetologists, unreal liquid nitrogen, unbelievable penis hammering, Jesus in the teeth, Tear for Fears, and the most famous popcorn scene since Troll 2. "Real Genius" (1985) took the '80s nerd genre to new lows but still managed to exude some genuine charm. Kerri Gross gets hella scientific. Roger does the math of statutory rape. And Gene ...
Jurassic Park (1993)
March 04, 2018 05:45 - 1 hour - 54 MBThe most iconic scenes in movie history, sexy Jeff Goldblum, goosebumps aplenty, a triceratops turd too high, hyperconfident scientists, unnecessary fence climbs and adorable velociraptors made 1993's "Jurassic Park" a movie unlike any other. Roger defends the strength of fiberglass. Gene actually has fun for once, and Kerri downs an entire bottle of wine before slurring through the entire Visitor Center action sequence.

Braveheart (1995)
February 23, 2018 16:01 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBPremature kilts, revised history, foppish Brits, Crossfit Scots, a 40-year-old Mel Gibson, a hot 9-year-old princess, undying love, and a romance nobody wanted to see. "Braveheart" brought a new degree of violence and complexity to the historical action genre and made 3 hours fly by. Don't miss Roger Roeper's triumphant and sexually-charged return to Shat The Movies, Big D's baffling discussion of black eyes, and Gene's uncomfortably intimate recollections of his high school science teache...

February 13, 2018 19:37 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBLaughable wardrobes, finding excuses for Jean Claude Van Damme to kick things, gratuitous Belgian sex, gratuitous Belgian sax, an avalanche of one-liners, massive plot holes and The Splits Over Troubled Waters ... it's Timecop! Gene gets deep into physics and time travel theory. Kerri eviscerates the previously unknown "Timecop is like Blade Runner" crowd, and Big D perfect YET ANOTHER action star accent.

Casino (1995)
January 31, 2018 07:07 - 1 hour - 49.8 MBA sparkling Sharon Stone, labyrinth storylines, crappy explosions, loud suits, popping eyeballs, James Woods pimpin', and a Joe Pesci blowjob? When you want it all, "Casino" delivers. And it takes 3 tectonic hours to do it. Guest host Kerri Gross lends a female touch (sorta), encourages domestic violence (sorta), and tells us about the one time she put a glass pipe where glass pipes shouldn't go. Gene counters with a tale of his "gooch" and laments the loss of a Robert DeNiro in his prim...
Flatliners (1990)
January 23, 2018 20:09 - 1 hour - 45.5 MB"Med students explore to see what might lie beyond death" might be the advertisement, but what we got was the old bait-and-switch. Instead of that exploration, Flatliners gives us pseudo-Freudian analysis delivered by 1990's Brat Pack 2.0... all of which we found surprisingly enjoyable.

Scrooged (1988)
December 29, 2017 06:58 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBCaught in the doldrums between Christmas and New Year's Eve? We've got one more present for you! "Scrooged" might be the sleeper holiday comedy you need this winter. It certainly surprised us. Bill Murray is at his best, and a power-packed cast delivers laughs from start to finish. The visuals are sublime; the jokes are clever, and the humor is fresh -- all without sacrificing some serious heart. It even made Gene Lyons raise a hearty glass of nog and cheer.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
December 15, 2017 06:21 - 1 hour - 52.7 MBJudging Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" requires one simple question: Not "is it a good movie?" but "Is it worse than 'Willow?" And, thank Alan Rickman, Robin hood is just a bit better. Still, horrible scripting, schizophrenic moods, hammy stunts, bad accents, and a mind-boggling 155 minute run time make "Prince of Thieves" the king of wasted potential.

December 01, 2017 15:28 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBAnybody can make a slasher flick. And talented directors can pull off thrillers. But "Seven" is a masterpiece only David Fincher could pull off. Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey and Gwyneth Paltrow round out a powerhouse cast that elevates the grotesque to art. This movie is dark, edgy, poetic, symbolic, and twisted.

On its face, taking the thrilling Predator formula and applying it to an urban setting makes for a good movie.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
October 31, 2017 14:33 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB"A Nightmare on Elm Street" introduced us to a new slasher villain, a new horror universe, Johnny Depp and blood-fountain waterbeds. But 2/3 of our panel was not impressed with how it holds up in 2017. Wild imagination clashed with goofy execution. Classic lines were fumbled by idiot actors.

The shoddy acting? The complete misunderstanding of how actual people react to horrifying events? Or are we just haunted by the memories of days when something this hokey seemed scary?

The Matrix (1999)
October 12, 2017 21:45 - 1 hour - 51.7 MBThe Matrix changed the world: new camera styles, new visions of violence, new perceptions of reality, and new uses of vinyl clothing. Laurence Fishburne was unforgettable as the enigmatic Morpheus. Carrie-Anne Moss was sizzling as the sleek and deadly Trinity. And Keanu Reeves was the astoundingly empty vessel we needed Neo to be.

This iconic '80s classic starring Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver sparked our imaginations and made proton packs a household name, but the years have not been kind.

From unimaginable POW rescues to an impossibly glistening Sylvester Stallone, this 1985 action drama is the Father of All Action Movie Tropes.

Blue Brothers transcended the labels of "comedy," "musical," and '80s movie with incredible awareness of city life and urban joy.
