BS Reactor

This time at the reactor Pat and Isaac wrap up their chat at, around, and "about" The worst movie we have ever reviewed. It's called Bigfoot Goes to Hell. Don't watch the movie... seriously. 

This time Pat and Isaac begin a chat about the worst movie the crew has ever talked about. Seriously, it's actually bad; don't watch it. This is not a trick or reverse psychology, do not watch the 2023 trash fire that is Bigfoot Goes to Hell. BUT do listen to this episode, we have some fun with it.

This time the crew wrap up their discussion of Airplane!; a movie where intelligence and stupidity achieve perfect aerodynamic balance. They dig further into the film’s relentless joke machine, dead-serious performances, questionable aging, and the strange craftsmanship required to make complete nonsense work this well. Avoid the fish, respect the inflatable pilot, and please return your expectati...

This Week Evan, Pat, and Isaac begin their descent into the 1980 comedy classic Airplane! They launch into its rapid fire joke rate, serious performances, disaster movie DNA, and the strange science of why incredibly stupid jokes can land. Surely they can stay on topic. And yes, we called them Shirley.

Good evening, passengers, and welcome aboard B S Reactor. This week, the crew is warming up for Airplane! — a film about aviation, disaster, human weakness, and the important discovery that almost any sentence becomes funny if everyone involved refuses to admit it's a joke. Before departure, a maintenance update: my voice is still being repaired. It's fine. The technicians are confident. I'm confi...

This week we're wrapping up our review of Earth Girls are Easy.

Welcome back to BS Reactor, where we're continuing our discussion of Earth Girls Are Easy. Yes, we know. The title sounds less like a quirky 1988 comedy and more like something hidden behind the bead curtain at a video rental store. Rest assured, despite what your brain immediately assumes, it's actually a colorful sci-fi comedy with musical numbers, big hair, and aliens who adapt to Earth far fas...

Yo! Radical beings of Earth! Welcome back to BS Reactor, broadcasting in simulated stereo and approximately six shades of neon. This week, the crew continues their discussion of Earth Girls Are Easy—the cinematic smoothie where aliens, romance, hair spray, and  California all accidentally achieve critical mass. Now for the mandatory disclaimer section. This episode contains spoilers. Big, fluoresc...

Radical transmission incoming... Please adjust your shoulder pads, tease your hair to OSHA-violating heights, and set your cassette deck to "totally awesome." You've successfully tuned into BS Reactor, where this week the crew begins talking about the gloriously dumb 1988 film Earth Girls Are Easy. This nostalgic detour comes courtesy of Jazmen, who picked it as part of our ongoing theme: "Movies...

Welcome back, listeners. This week, we reach the end of our journey through Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III — a movie that accidentally stumbles into some drama while carrying a mask and a sword. Humans are strange. Put them in a different place, a different time, or a different social group, and they immediately start asking the same questions: “Who am I? Where do I belong? Why did I touch the m...

Greetings, meat-based pod friends; Welcome back to BS Reactor... This week the crew continues their discussion of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III — a film that looked at the vague concept of temporal causality, loaded it into a cannon, and fired it directly into a map of feudal Japan... Now, before we proceed, the standard notes: This episode contains spoilers. Lots of spoilers. But they’re vinta...

Greetings, listeners. I’ve recently installed a new Haiku DLC. To celebrate, today’s briefing will be delivered in verse. For culture and what not. ahem! “Pizza through time folds... Four turtles punch history wrong... Subtitles fear us...” That means: welcome back to BS Reactor. We’re discussing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. There will be bad historical decisions. Ancient scepter glows... Hum...

Subject: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Complication: feudal Japan… and [NAME REDACTED] Next door mowing his stupid lawn. Welcome back to BS Reactor, where this week the crew warms up for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III — the film that, reacting to no one, screamed, “What if time travel instead of anything people are emotionally invested in! YEAH! Blow the entire budget on scenery! Kids fuckin...

FINAL CONTAINMENT UPDATE: “OOZE INCIDENT”. Status: “Relocated”!!! Containment: “Delegated… with optimism.” Welcome back to BS Reactor. This week, we conclude our conversation about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a film that asks a very big question in a very simple way: if something changes you… is it still you? Also: why is it glowing? Current situation: the ooze is no...

STATUS UPDATE: “OOZE INCIDENT” Diplomacy Phase: “Ongoing” Side Effects: “Developing… personality” Welcome back to B S Reactor. This week, the crew continues their conversation about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a film that has now crossed from ‘nostalgic curiosity’ into ‘active influence on our environment.’ Negotiations with the ooze are… progressing. It has demonstra...

UPDATE: “OOZE INCIDENT” Status: “Escalating!” Containment: “Optimistic fiction”. Welcome back to BS Reactor. We regret to inform you the ooze situation has progressed beyond ‘quirky sci-fi hi-jinks’ and entered the stage experts are calling @#*%!” This week, the crew continues their analysis of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a film where exposure levels are rising, logic...

Welcome back to BS Reactor. This week, the crew begins their investigation into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a 1991 film where science is a plot point, physics is negotiable, and everyone agrees that bathing in green goo is a splendid idea. “Quick briefing before exposure”: there will be spoilers. The kind that kick the door down and yell ‘GO NINJA GO.’ And yes, there...

Well, well… look who’s back at the Reactor. Spoilers, it’s us! After a brief, pause, the crew has returned to the microphones. Slightly rested, moderately functional, and once again ready to overthink movies that absolutely did not ask for it. This week, we’re warming up for a conversation about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a film that boldly asked, ‘What if we added m...

Welcome back. This is the part where things wind down — the conversation, the film, and, briefly, half the teams’ immune systems... This week, the crew is finishing up their discussion of 2046 — a movie about memory, repetition, and refusing to let go. Which is fitting, because half the team is currently refusing to let go of whatever seasonal plague has decided to move in. Before we proceed, the...

Welcome back. Or perhaps… welcome again. It’s hard to tell with a film like 2046. Time folds, emotions echo, and everyone insists they’re moving forward while standing still... This week, the crew continues their conversation about the 2046 — a movie about memory, longing, and the quiet panic of realizing you’ve been thinking about the same moment for far too long. Naturally, we all had thoughts....

Alright. Let’s talk about time. Humans love time. You measure it, waste it, complain you don’t have enough of it, then spend hours debating a movie that’s about not moving on. You things are truly incredible. Welcome back to B S Reactor. This is Part Two of our conversation about 2046 — a film that asks, ‘What if nostalgia had a boarding pass?’ and then refuses to tell you when the train is schedu...

They say some places exist only in memory. Others exist in anticipation. And some… exist because you keep returning to them, hoping for smart and witty banter... Welcome back to BS Reactor. This time, the crew begins their conversation about 2046 — a film about time, longing, repetition, and the quiet ache of moments that never quite resolve. Which feels appropriate, considering this is also our f...

Season’s greetings, dear listeners, and welcome to a very special BS Reactor Christmas special — an episode ostensibly about giving gifts… eventually. Before we reach that destination, however, the crew does what they do best: rant, digress, and unpack several unrelated grievances like a family opening presents without reading the tags. This is a festive episode, yes — but also a very human one. T...

Case file: CLUE, 1985. Status: unresolved, overanalyzed, and officially exhausting in the best possible way. Welcome back to BS Reactor, where the crew are delivering their final statements on a film that treats murder like a dinner party game and dinner parties like a full-contact sport. This is the conclusion of our investigation — the point where motives are revisited, accusations are sharpened...

Welcome back, dear listeners, to B S Reactor — the podcast equivalent of gathering in a shadowy mansion and hoping no one hands you a weapon. This week, we’re beginning our conversation about the 1985 cult classic Clue — a film with more misdirection, double-bluffs, and suspicious side-eyes than a family group chat during the holidays. Before we step into the mansion: a few disclaimers. There will...
