Russ and Jared are back with the scene-by-scene teardown of sci-fi adventure, Chaos Walking (2021), starring Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Mads Mikkelsen, David Oyelowo, and Nick Jonas.

Find out how bad it really is in the episo...

When we left the guys in the last episode, our main character was mopping the bathroom floor, and a side character was splattered all over another floor (and walls).

This week, Russ and Jared are talking about Breach (2020), starring Bruce Willis, Cody Kearsley, Rachel Nichols, Kassandra Clementi, Johnny Messner, and Thomas Jane. Absolutely one of the worst movies the guys have talked about is maybe also the best Bruce Willis performance they've covered to date.

Will Taylor Schilling still love him if he's a gr...

The guys' hopes are dashed this week as The Titan (2018) does not live up to expectations from the Trailer Trash.
