May 28, 2020 06:36 - 1 hourBack to the Patreon Picks as we get Luc Shannon from GameItAll.com to give the guys a movie that Nathan holds so near and dear to his hate-heart - Silent Hill. It's a film that with needlessly complicated storytelling that somehow doesn't have a Sean Bean death scene. The guys discuss Pyramid Head ripping a woman's clothes off, Bean roughing up some nuns, the movie not making any sense until a 10-minute explanation after 90 minutes of "action" and much more. Plus: the new coming-of-age theme ...

May 07, 2020 03:01 - 1 hourRemember when Gene Simmons played a villainous hermaphrodite that wants to poison the water supply but is thwarted by an American James Bond-like figure played by John Stamos who is also the son of one-time Bond actor George Lazenby? No? Well then you must have thought it to be a fever dream much like Nathan prior to bringing this movie to the show. Join he and Brendan as they discuss Never Too Young to Die, a movie that is absolutely confounding. From the post-apocalyptic villains in a moder...

April 30, 2020 03:01 - 1 hourIt's that time again where the guys delve into some more offbeat fare and nothing could be more appropriately weird and off-putting as much as A Talking Cat!?! Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned From Movies join your hosts Nathan and Brendan to discuss a film in which the director's previous works leave a certain creepy stench on the proceedings. They also talk about Eric Roberts LITERALLY phoning in his performance, the obvious techniques to get a performance out of the titular feline, e...
Cats (w/Amanda the Jedi)
April 23, 2020 03:01 - 1 hourThe time has come. It is finally time to talk about Cats. Luckily, Nathan and Brendan weren't alone and they brought back CNN superstar Amanda the Jedi to endure the magic with them. The gang talk about everything from the musical numbers only serving as character introductions, Jennifer Hudson's Oscar-grabbing performance, the horrifying visuals in the milk bar, the plot which may involve purgatory and/or really weird sex stuff... with cats, and.. and... well you'll just have to listen to th...
Green Lantern

The gang talk about how a movie makes a scary real-life conflict into a pretty fluffy action zinger while also discussing stuff like Owen Wilson's nose, the stormtrooper-like aim by all the villains, the in-your-face style of the cinematography and much more. Plus: Nathan pitches the ultimate TV show. The guys also drop a hint...
Raw Deal (w/Liz of "Nerdy Bitches Podcast")
April 02, 2020 03:01 - 1 hourJoining Nathan and Brendan this week is Liz of the Nerdy Bitches Podcast (a self-admitted fan of Bad Arnold Movies) to help dissect this totally strange 80s Schwarzenegger relic known as "Raw Deal." Much is discussed here including the lack of one-liners for our star, the infamous cake scene, the massive amounts of law-breaking that goes unpunished, horrible taste in dress fashion and much more. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check on Facebook or Twitter on Monday for the ...

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
March 19, 2020 03:01 - 1 hourThis week, Nathan and Brendan discuss a movie that Sylvester Stallone would rather just have people forget about - Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Plus - learn about the hilarious way that thi...
WCW Slamboree 2000 (w/Ryan Gilbert)
March 12, 2020 03:01 - 1 hourThis episode is brought to you today by Western Union... but you totally can't tell, right? Continuing on the Road to Wrestlemania, Nathan and Brendan welcome back Ryan Gilbert once again to talk all about the height of Vince Russo stupidity with WCW Slamboree 2000. They talk about a wrestler re-naming himself Hugh G. Rection, Ric Flair not even bothering to put his wrestling gear on to face Shane Douglas, the main event just being one giant commercial for Ready to Rumble, the most tasteless ...
They Live (w/Ryan Gilbert)
March 05, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourIs this the most controversial episode ever? Put on your tinfoil hats as Nathan, Brendan and returning guest Ryan Gilbert discuss the beloved cult classic They Live featuring Roddy Piper, magic sunglasses and apparently two completely different movies. They'll discus the sunglasses that allow someone to HEAR things, Roddy Piper's jarring character change halfway through, the longest fight scene ever, last-minute nudity and much more. Plus: we find out the secret origin of Donald Trump. It all...
Spice World (w/Mariah Lirette)
February 27, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourIs it terrible? Is it brilliant? Brendan, returning guest Mariah and a surprise guest co-host (don't worry - Nathan will be back next week) attempt to solve this conundrum when they discuss Spice World, a movie picked by Mariah and near and dear to her heart. They discuss how the film has virtually no plot, Brendan gets upset over the problematic Scary Spice bits, the alien scene is discussed in great detail and much, much more. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check on Face...
Striking Distance (w/Brent from "Home Video Hustle")
February 20, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourThrill to a rote action movie starring Bruce Willis that may actually be a TV movie in disguise! Gasp at one of the cheapest whodunit reveals ever! Consider yourself befuddled at a man who keeps autographed portraits with his ex-girlfriends in his home!

Join Nathan, Brendan (and Brent of the Home Video H...
Valentine (w/Everything I Learned from Movies)
February 13, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourIn a very special Valentine's Day episode, the guys are joined by lovebirds Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to talk about... well... Valentine. Yes, it's the wild slasher from 2001 that dares you to genuinely like or feel sympathy for a single person in the film, revels in its "pretty accurate" portrayal of weird art shows, introduces characters in a Hitchcockian manner and features early work by Master Thespian Katherine Heigl. Plus - the ultimate debate: did Dorothy help ...
Madea Goes to Jail
February 06, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourHeller! Yes, it's time for Nathan and Brendan to revisit the TPCU (Tyler Perry Cinematic Universe) with the controversially-titled Madea Goes to Jail in that the title of the film only applies for about 15-20 minutes. The guys talk about Rudy Huxtable as a prostitute, the maniacal shifts of tone in the film between sketch comedy and harrowing drama, Uncle Joe's deadly lifestyle, Duke University, the legality of a police sting operation and much more. The guys also drop a hint for next wee...
The Haunting of Sharon Tate (w/Amanda the Jedi)
January 30, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourAll good things must come to an end. Or something like that. The finale of Recently Regrettable focuses on quite possibly the most tasteless piece of cinema that Nathan and Brendan (and returning guest Amanda the Jedi) have ever covered on the podcast - The Haunting of Sharon Tate. Yes, it's director Daniel Farrands' "tribute" to the victims of the Manson Family Murders done as a schlocky horror film. You'll hear all about his desperate attempt to reach out to Debra Tate, the god-awful ADR, t...
The Prodigy
January 23, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourThe takedown of last year continues with another horror flick - this time it's the 'evil kid' dud, The Prodigy starring Taylor Schilling, Colm Feore and no one else that matters. Nathan and Brendan talk about wasting actors in expository roles, creepy cuddling, old laptops and tape recorders, one major plot hole that reveals itself during the final moments of the movie and much more. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie, which will be the final installment in the "Recently Regret...
The Fanatic
January 16, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourThis week, Nathan and Brendan continue their journey through some of the worst films from 2019 with John Travolta's misguided attempt at an Oscar under the watchful eye of director Fred Durst (yes, he of Limp Bizkit fame) in The Fanatic. The guys talk about John Travolta's British accent, Leah being the ultimate villain, how this film seems to hate every type of viewer and of course the Limp Bizkit scene. Folks, this one is full-on crazytown. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie....
The Curse of La Llorona
January 09, 2020 04:01 - 1 hourWe're back, baby! Nathan and Brendan start off a January mini-series called "Recently Regrettable" which focuses on the worst films of 2019.

Holiday Flashback: Surviving Christmas
December 26, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourThe show is still on vacation until next week so until then, please enjoy a rerun of their discussion regarding the Christmas "classic" - Surviving Christmas. They go into a lot of background on the film like how it was a colossal box office failure when it opened in October (?), Ben Affleck's character being a total psychopath, the movie being comprised of tons of improv but the one great improvisational performer being completely shortchanged, the character of "Dooda," Catherine O'Hara's ...
I'll Be Home for Christmas (w/Mariah Lirette)
December 19, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourIt's time for the official Christmas episode... and that means only one thing. Mariah is back on the show, bay bay! Long Dong Silver joins the guys to talk about a pretty mean-spirited Disney flick featuring sociopath Jonathan Taylor Thomas, cute-as-a-button Jessica Biel, Discount Steve Carell, Tom Jones grannies and so many 90s cliches. As one man journeys home so that he can claim ownership of his dad's Porsche, does this film claim ownership of their hearts? Tune in and find out! The sho...

Gleaming the Cube (w/Jerika Layne)
November 28, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourNathan and Brendan welcome their resident extreme sports expert Jerika back to the show to talk all about a movie that was first hyped up more than three years ago on this very program!

Many things are discussed from Slater's tendencies towards sociopathic behaviour, Jerika's obsession with the lead actor going through many different phases, the most hilarious line in all of cine...
Gamera vs. Guiron
November 21, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourIt's that time of year again when Nathan and Brendan dive into another film involving everyone's favourite turtle - Gamera.

Plus - is it time for the most downbeat buddy comedy of all-time? Listen and find out! The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check in on our Twitter account on Monday for the reveal!...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) (w/Dame Malcolm Wallace)
November 14, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourContinuing the (unintentional) theme of franchise reboots that everyone hates, Nathan and Brendan bring back the elegant Dame Malcolm Wallace to talk about the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles disaster. Why are the turtles designed to look like nightmare-inducing beasts? Can Will Arnett single-handedly save a movie that he is only in for about five minutes? And just how in the hell are we meant to believe for ONE SECOND that William Fichtner ISN'T playing the villain? The ...
Terminator Genisys (w/Brent from "Home Video Hustle")
November 07, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourWith the new Terminator: Dark Fate film opening in theatres nationwide this week, Nathan and Brendan thought it'd be important to revisit the previous entry in the series so everyone can be refreshed before going into the natural conclusion of this story - what's that now? This film is wiped from the canon and doesn't matter at all? Well... dang. Thankfully, the guys have brought back frequent guest Brent Fullen from the Home Video Hustle to help endure the mind-numbing pain that comes with a...

Are we really supposed to buy Fresh Prince's Carlton as an intimidating thug? Why does Clint Howard set up indoor bear traps? And just what in the Hell is so domineering about Peter Scolari as a camp counselor? The guys al...
Small-Screen Shamefuls: Ticks (w/Everything I Learned From Movies)

Maximum Overdrive
October 24, 2019 03:01 - 1 hourContinuing on as we get closer to the home stretch of Schlocktober, Nathan brings one of his childhood favourites to the show as the guys dissect the absolute sheer lunacy of Stephen King's directorial debut (and finale) - Maximum Overdrive. Madness ensues like a debate about which 'mechanical' devices in this film can truly be sentient, Brendan has a theory about one of the "greatest" acting moments of all-time, weird sex stuff comes up a lot and much more. The guys also drop a hint for ne...
Pet Sematary Two
October 17, 2019 03:01 - 1 hourIt's not the sequel that we deserved. It's the sequel that no one wanted. Much to Nathan's chagrin, he and Brendan tackled the sequel to one of his favourite genre classics, Pet Sematary Two. You wanted harrowing family horror? How about a nightmare where Anthony Edwards almost makes it with a wolf-woman? Compelling lead characters? You get Edward Furlong who changes his attitude throughout the movie around 20 times. Coherent plot? No, you get a third act that completely derails the already...
Blumhouse's Truth or Dare
October 10, 2019 03:00 - 1 hourTruth or Dare??? Continuing on with the spookiest month of the year, Schlocktober rests on last year's critical failure in the form of Blumhouse's Truth or Dare. Nathan and Brendan discuss everything from vodka-brand vodka, how this movie is not the Madonna documentary, talk about all the ways that the demon cheats at his own game, Scary Potter and much more. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check in on our Twitter account on Monday for the reveal! Patreon: www.patreon.c...
The Happening (w/Lindsay Escoffery)
October 03, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourThe Event... it's happening... As Schlocktober begins, Nathan and Brendan welcome their guest Lindsay to talk all about one of her favourite good-bad movies - The Happening. It's the first Shyamalan movie on the podcast and probably not the last one. The gang dives into this mess from the ridiculous stilted performances from the most miscast actors ever to the unintentional hilarity of several intentionally-harrowing scenes to several theories about how this damn thing got made. But your ho...
Patreon Pick: McBain
September 26, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourThis is not what you think it is... Do not worry, folks - The Simpsons did it first! Nathan and Brendan discuss this week's film in the form of our next Patreon Pick from Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies. You've seen all the macho 80s parodies over the years with every major trope including drug dealers, 'assembling a team', ridiculous action movie logic and lines of dialogue that are so cheesy they just make you guffaw and howl with laughter. Well, this... this movie is a...
Cool World (w/Drew from Reel Feels Podcast)
September 19, 2019 04:01 - 1 hour - 108 MBWho Framed Roger Rabbit... this ain't! Nathan and Brendan welcome back Drew from the Reel Feels Podcast to talk about the absolute misfire known as Ralph Bakshi's Cool World. This could best be described as Roger Rabbit if all the worst technical decisions ever were made. The guys get into it with a breakdown of the movie's horrendous special effects, the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that completely altered the original intention of the film, the mechanics of what does or doesn't consti...

The 3rd Annual Manos Hand-Outs
September 12, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourThe REAL awards season has begun! Taking a break from specific film discussion, Nathan and Brendan present their annual Manos Hand-Outs for the worst of the worst and of course some awards for the movies that caused them less pain than others. And of course it wouldn't be an awards show without a multitude of guests... and boy oh boy, there are no stars in the sky this week because they were all... well... here. Listen in as Uwe Boll, Sylvester Stallone, Meryl Streep, the current president ...
Next of Kin (w/Andy Hamilton)
September 05, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourSwayze is back on the podcast and this time... he is kinda sorta doing an accent. Back to theatrical releases! This week, Nathan and Brendan welcome first-time guest Andy Hamilton onto the show to talk about a wild Patrick Swayze-led film - Next of Kin, a movie which may set a record for the largest amount of insane accents of all-time. From Liam Neeson as a COWBOY (yes, that is correct) to little Ben Stiller not even attempting an Italian accent, this film also features things like fiddle ...
Small-Screen Shamefuls: Fateful Findings (w/Mariah Lirette)
August 29, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourIt has finally come to this - Neil. Breen. This week, Nathan and Brendan start a new feature (every time there's a fifth Thursday in a month, folks) called Small-Screen Shamefuls focusing on the lower-hanging fruit of bad movies. And what better way to start than with the man, the myth, the legend: Las Vegas architect Neil Breen. The guys welcome back frequent guest Mariah Lirette to talk all about his third feature Fateful Findings and all of its incomprehensible weirdness. They talk about...
Collateral Damage
August 22, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourFinally - Arnold Schwarzenegger the Austrian German graces this podcast! This week, Nathan and Brendan discuss Collateral Damage, one of the handful of pre-9/11 movies that had to be delayed due to obvious reasons. They talk about Schwarzenegger being faster than a motorcycle AND a fireball, John Leguizamo's gangster rap career, the film's representation of pervy Canadians and much more. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check in on our Twitter account on Monday for the rev...
Vampire's Kiss (w/Everything I Learned From Movies)
August 15, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourThis podcast was taped in front of a live studio audience* The time has finally come for Nathan and Brendan to return to the Nicolas Cage fold and they do so with aplomb and 1989's Vampire's Kiss. Joining them are Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned From Movies to help discuss the most insane Nicolas Cage performance of his entire career, the very strange behind-the-scenes tales from the director, Cage's accent, the real background extras (aka people who just happened to be walking by) a...
Armed and Dangerous
August 08, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourA different side of John Candy... Nathan and Brendan go back to the 80s with this kinda-obscure oddball comedy featuring a very mean-spirited John Candy and hapless Eugene Levy as bumbling security guards. The guys discuss everything including all the original plans involving Harold Ramis and John Belushi, "killer dogs", the Michael Bay levels of violence in the finale, all of the masterful character actor performances, Meg Ryan's beautiful visage and much more. Plus: Brendan doesn't know t...
Spider-Man 3 (w/Joshua Kotsabasakis)
August 01, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourTalk about your late-franchise disappointments... If you ever wondered why the world was blessed with the Andrew Garfield double-dose of Spider-Man reboots, all signs point to this flick - the third Spidey film directed by Sam Raimi. Nathan, Brendan and returning guest Joshua Kotsabasakis break this superhero movie down and discuss how there are too many villains, too many minutes in the runtime, too many scenes focusing on non-superhero stuff, too many actors that are way too talented for ...
The Mummy (2017)
July 25, 2019 04:01 - 1 hour#NotMyMummy Do you remember where you were on that fateful day when the Dark Universe kicked off its wholly successful cinematic universe with 2017's The Mummy to rave reviews? ...what's that? It was a one-and-done that tanked and they never made another film in the franchise? Well, of course it is! It's the final Summer Flopbuster episode! That didn't surprise Nathan and Brendan who wage war against fatigue with this particular film that attempts to erase the fun vibes set forth by the 199...
Cliffhanger (w/Jerika Layne)
July 18, 2019 04:01 - 1 hourDie Hard on a mountain. That's basically what this Summer Flopbuster boils down to as Nathan and Brendan welcome extreme sports expert Jerika back to the show to discuss the 1993 Stallone vehicle - Cliffhanger. This movie is absolutely nuts and the conversation goes everywhere from the special effects looking terrible in high-definition, John Lithgow's accent, the fight scene in the cave, helicopter pilots who double as post-modern artists and much, much more. Next week: The guys drop a h...
