Metro

February 08, 2024 05:01 - 1 hour

This week, Patty picks the movie for the guys and bestows upon them... Metro starring Eddie Murphy. Yes, it's the action/comedy with very little comedy that made the nation come together... and ask each other if they'd seen that new Eddie Murphy movie to which most people shrugged and walked away? After Nathan reveals his very personal connection to this film, the guys also discuss Michael Wincott's sexy growling, all of the plot threads that lead nowhere, last-minute nudity and a whole lot m...

The Exorcist: Believer

Resident comic book expert Josh Kotsabasakis joins the guys to discuss the film and attempt to avoid as many real-life Ezra references as possible. Why does this movie have so much spaghetti?

The Nun II

January 11, 2024 05:01 - 1 hour

We're back! The Worst of 2023 begins with the sequel to the hit Conjuring-verse horror flick - The Nun II. Is this one of the more unnecessary sequels in recent memory?

What is going on with Taissa Farmiga's hair... and why is it perfect? All this and the 2nd scariest nun to have ever lived in this week's episode! Next week: it...

December 28, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

Enjoy this rerun while we are away on vacation! Tis the season! The guys present their Christmas episode with regular recurring Christmas guest Mariah Lirette as they discuss the Disney Plus Exclusive Home Sweet Home Alone. Does this movie really think that making the 'burglars' into a likeable cute family was the appropriate update for this film? Why does the movie keep forgetting that Jeff is a computer genius when he can't figure out simple mechanics? Why does this movie waste nothing rol...

Pottersville

December 07, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

This week's movie is truly baffling as the guys look at the Christmas (adjacent) film Pottersville, which is somehow not about the fantasy town from It's a Wonderful Life. Nope, it's about a sasquatch... and the furry community? Nathan and Brendan of course discuss all the furries content (especially the Kubrickian dance party in the woods), a detail about Thomas Lennon's character that left a bad taste in Brendan's mouth, the references (with no jokes) to Jaws and that Christian Bale rant an...

A Little Piece of Heaven (w/Galen Howard)

November 30, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

This week, the guys are joined by Galen Howard to wrap their heads around Kirk Cameron's brain and the film A Little Piece of Heaven, a joyful uplifting Christian movie in which children are kidnapped and convinced that they've died and gone to Heaven so they will hang out with Kirk's lonely developmentally delayed sister. Yup. With this being the wildest premise maybe ever featured on the show, there is no shortage of topics here but the guys also discuss all of the surprisingly racist mater...

Blown Away

November 23, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

This week, the guys talk about a movie that has maybe the most amount of movie a movie ever movied. That's right, it's 1994's Blown Away starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy "Ireland's Finest" Lee Jones. Why is everyone doing the most insane accent? Are bomb squads sexy? How many rube goldberg terrorist bombs can one man build in the span of a couple of days? Are they using U2 songs as the theme for the villain?! All this and a blarney stone to kiss in this week's episode! Next week: a very creep...

Fled

November 16, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

Ready for the ultimate buddy movie team-up? Well, look no further than Laurence Fishburne and... Stephen Baldwin? Yes folks, let's Fled. Does this movie have the most convoluted inciting incident ever? How many save-the-cat moments can Dodge have in order to make sure people like him? Racist heart attacks? Is Salma Hayek doing a Duck Soup remake? All this and a lot of bad grammar in this week's episode! Next week: KABOOM! What We've Been Watching: Cigarette Burns "Found" Questions? Comment...

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (w/Sharon Horwatt)

November 09, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

Back to the usual grind this week now that spooky season has come to a close as the guys discuss The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. They're not alone though as they're joined by returning guest Sharon Horwatt, who knows an awful lot about this Disney franchise (is 2 movies enough for a franchise?)! Could John Rhys-Davies be playing a more cartoonish villain? What the hell is going on with Chris Pine's hair? Why couldn't Julie Andrews rap during the mattress-surfing party?! And could th...

Gamera vs. Barugon

November 02, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

Schlocktober has come to a close but it's time for Nathan's favourite time of the year - Gamera's birthday! In Gamera vs. Barugon, our feisty turtle friend battles a giant lizard-dog thing with a very powerful tongue and a real appreciation for LGBTQ pride. Why do the characters keep pronouncing Gamera wrong? Is the dubbing kinda racist? How come there are no kaiju for the first 40 minutes and why did that really not bother Brendan at all? All this and more! Next week: don't burn the fish! ...

Rings

October 26, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

Schlocktober concludes with a discussion of the absolutely pointless capper to the Ring trilogy... well... Rings. Could Vincent D'Onofrio give less of a damn? Why does this movie think Johnny Galecki is sexy? How come Samara has extra powers that only appear when they're convenient to the plot? An underground video-copying cartel!? All this and more! Next week: Turtle, turtle. What We've Been Watching: Totally Killer "Robyn Hood" Questions? Comments? Suggestions? You can always shoot us an...

Freddy vs. Jason

October 19, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

Next week: Schlocktober rolls on with a cinematic battle. What We've Been Watching: A Haunting in Venice "Sea of Stars" (videogame) Questions? Comm...

Annabelle

October 05, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

It's the spookiest time of the year - Schlocktober! The guys dive back into the first non-scam artists Conjuring-verse flick Annabelle and the road starts off... just a little bumpy. They talk about the weird cult subplot that should have been the main plot, the doll not being pleasant to look at for anyone to genuinely want in their house, Alfre Woodard breathing life into the film in the ninth inning and much more. Next week: Schlocktober continues with a rather notorious found-footage mov...

Exit to Eden (w/Galen Howard)

September 28, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

This week, Galen Howard joins the guys for a discussion of quite possibly the least sexy movie marketed as a sexy movie. Yes, that's right - the "sexually brilliant"Exit to Eden "starring" Dan Aykroyd and Rosie O'Donnell. The guys talk about the addition of a diamond smuggling plot not present in the source material, Rosie's dialogue seemingly consisting entirely of improv, Sex Yoda, the disturbing nanny fetish cold open and much more. Plus: Garry Marshall visits the show to explain himself. ...

Vicious Lips

September 21, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

This week, the guys are bestowed with a Patreon Pick from Everything I Learned from Movies in the form of Albert Pyun's Vicious Lips, a movie that seemingly has no purpose for its existence whatsoever. The discussion ranges all over the place including the lamest mass murderer of all-time, landing a huge music gig halfway through an audition, filming in Cher's bedroom, the infuriating twist that makes the movie even more pointless and much more. Next week: VERY SEXY. What We've Been Watchin...

September 07, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

They talk all about the "fine people on both sides" style of writing, all the war sequences that we only hear about, Angus Macfayden's wild performance and much more. Plus: lots of stories from the set including the original lead actor that was fired, meeting a very "quirky" actor and finding your lens. Next week: time to hand out some awards! What We've B...

The Legend of La Llorona

August 31, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

There are five Thursdays this month and that means that it's time for a "Small-Screen Shameful." This time, the victim is the Danny Trejo vehicle, The Legend of La Llorona.

Next...

The Circle

August 24, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

This week, the guys talk about The Circle, a super-dumb critique of social media and Big Tech and starring... Tom Hanks as the villain? WHAT!? Yes, this is a real movie.

Gladiator

August 17, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

August 10, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

This week, the guys tackle the 1993 erotic drama/thriller Indecent Proposal starring a bunch of sexy, young actors and the maestro of masculinity himself, Robert Redford. As the discussion intensifies, they are joined by Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to figure out if sleeping with someone for a million dollars is as much of a conundrum as this movie theorizes to the audience. They also talk about the wild cameos from Rip Taylor and Billy Connolly, butt cheek-biting, the h...

GI Joe: Retaliation (w/Matthew Pettifer)

August 03, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour
