The boys are back this week with Hobo Dan to pay tribute to John Madden and the scrupulous professional football league as they watch the 2000 film The Replacements. It's a film in which union busting scabs pretend to play football, dance, and overcome adversity. So its like every sports movie. It's awful unless your name is either Shane or Dan. This week we are sponsored by: Clyde's Concussion Co...

Happy 2022! Shane and Ronnie talk about movies they saw during the year 2021. Not the best or worst movies. Just movies. They also do a deep dive into a movie that you have never heard of.

Happy Holidays! This week we are watching the 2004 film Welcome to Mooseport. It's now our tradition to not watch a Christmas movie during the holiday season. There are many surprises as we talk about books, the Zodiac killer, and not the movie we are watching together. This week we are sponsored by the Klaus Kiss Kristines and Has-been Toys. Signature Drink: Chocolate Candycane 1 part chocolate l...

Wasted Potential Podcast is back with another episode of Glass Half Full in which Ronnie interviews Shane about the 1999 cult comedy Office Space. We mumble our way through the all too real observational humor of this film and Shane does his patented impressions. Find out what a TPS report is with us! We answer our usual topics: When did you first see this movie, what is your recent reaction, 3 th...

The boys are back and this week they watch a movie in which everything, including John Leguizamo's pants, shit itself: 1997's Spawn! It's a 90's horror, action, fantasy, comic book movie that achieves none of those cinematic distinctions. Shane and Ronnie are joined by Korey from Big Dumb Movie podcast and they discuss none of the movie as per usual. Check out Korey on Instagram @bigdumbmoviepodca...

Happy Thanksgiving! Shane rants about a movie he did not see and Ronnie saw the movie and edited this podcast so he tries to help him out. Also, Ghostbusters Afterlife sucks.

The devious duo of Shane and Ronnie are back to smear canine crap all over 2002's Scooby-Doo.

We provide some trivia and play a new game: Scooby-Doo, Who the Hell Are You? Our drinking games are drink everytime: 1. Inappropriate jokes for kids 2. Pop music plays Sign...

Ron and Hobo Dan are back to discuss Dexter New Blood episode 1. One of them enjoys the new season thus far and the other is a cantankerous b****! They give reactions, review their wrong predictions, make more predictions, and talk about other shows that are revisitings/ reboots/ prequels. Music and sounds taken from Dexter, Twin Peaks, Game of Thrones, Beastie Boys, and Iggy Pop. Main Theme made...

Hobo Dan joins Ronnie to discuss the first eight seasons of Dexter as well as speculate for season nine! How can this podcast be both way too long and talk about nothing at all? We will release an occasional podcast discussing the new season as well. Ron's Season Rankings: 1, 3, 4, 2, 7, 6, 5, 8 Dan's Season Rankings: 4, 1, 2, 3, 7, 5, 6, 8 Music and sounds taken from Dexter, RoboCop, CBS News, Cu...

Happy Halloween! Here is our second annual Halloween Special and this year we ramble our way through 1996's Scream: the horror movie no one has ever done a podcast on! We recorded this early in the month so we do not address the Scream 5 trailer. Hobo Dan joins the festivities and provides ferret facts just proving we will talk about anything but the movie we are watching. Our Drinking games this...

Happy Sucktober season! We kick off this spooky and slobbery time of the year by watching 1994's The Crow! It's a Glass Half Full so we talk about what we love about this film but we also complain about it a lot. There are no rules so we can't be concerned about enforcing them! We answer our usual topics: When did you first see this movie, what is your recent reaction, 3 things we love about this...

This week the boys splash around with the 2006 baffling, fairy tale film that is M Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water. We add some new vocabulary to our podcast's list of offensive words and have little to say about the movie besides "what?" and "why?" We play Shot or Not as well as a new game called Water Which? Our Drinking Games for this week: 1. Quirky character traits and when they pay off 2...

Live from Cape Cod! We are back to our usual, drunken ways as we have returned with our first anniversary commentary track on 1983's Jaws 3D! Dan joins the salty crew again as we circumnavigate around touchy topics and talk over each other constantly. We have trivia and an ending that may shock many listeners! Our drinking games. Drink every time: 1. 3D effect 2. Camera cuts away from a shark atta...

This week, Ronnie is joined by special guest Erik and they discuss the 2010 action "film" The Expendables starring senior citizens and their visiting grandchildren. Erik walks a fine line between sarcasm and genuine admiration of this movie and Ronnie regrets inviting him to the podcast. We answer our usual questions: When did you first see it, what is your recent reaction, what are your three fav...

The following recording was sent anonymously to Wasted Potential Podcast. It is said to chronicle Shane's exploits in Peru. The audio may be shocking. Shane rambles about the film The Tomorrow War for too long. Special thanks to @brainlessbearann for the outro song and freesounds.com contributors.

We're back! After a brief hiatus we return to another episode of Glass Half Full in which we discuss the 2008 dark comedy In Bruges. It's offensive as hell and so is this podcast so listener beware. We answer our usual questions: When did you first see it, what is your recent reaction, what are your three favorite things, and what is one change you would make? Film audio and music from Focus Featu...

Wasted Potential Podcast is back with a new Glass Half Full on 2003's School of Rock!

The boys are back after a brief break and are about to get EXTREME with 2002's XXX starring Mark Sinclair, Nick Fury, and part time Czechoslovakians. Shane picked this two hour long American, James Bond ripping off dumpster fire starring an alleged porn star with the charisma of a CGI tree. We definitely go off the deep end on this one. This episode of Wasted Potential Podcast is sponsored by The...

In this week's Glass Half Full episode, the boys watch 1981's "The Great Muppet Caper" starring Muppets and sometimes British people. Shane gets drunk, sings way too often, and defends this movie while Ronnie criticizes a film starring puppets and aimed at children. We answer our usual questions: When did you first see it, what is your recent reaction, what are your three favorite things, and what...

This week's podcast is a Glass Half Full on 1999's Galaxy Quest! Ronnie chose this film and Shane does a half assed job leading the discussion. Ronnie asks a tricky question and the boys elegantly handle it as always. They discuss the 2021 Oscars for 7 minutes so skip that at 7:50. We answer our usual questions: When did you first see it, what is your recent reaction, what are your three favorite...

Wasted Potential Podcast is back with our commentary track on 1997's Turbo: a Power Rangers Movie! Ronnie chose this disaster while Shane is hungover and did not prepare at all. Only with our strength and purity (and booze) do we make it through this gem from our childhood. We have family friendly trivia via Shot or Not. Drinking Games: drink every time... 1. Moments with displayed sexuality or in...

This week we shamefully ramble through 2001's science fiction, "comedy" Evolution. We constantly compare this movie to Ghostbusters and Shane vehemently apologizes for making Ronnie watch this last minute choice. We play our weekly game of Shor or Not hosted by the always prepared Shane. Our drinking games this week: drink whenever 1. The movie steals from Ghostbusters 2. Sex jokes directed at Jul...

It's a McConaughey kinda day. Listen to our commentary track on the 2005 flop of a film, Sahara. It's long and we definitely drink too much. We provide some trivia via Shot or Not and definitely push the boundaries with our offensive, rambling rants. This week, we are sponsored by McCon-ASMR and Smug Tequila. Drinking Rules: Drink every time... The film mentions a country's name. Characters random...

This week we take a beautiful dive into the whimsical depths of 2004's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. We avoid sarcasm and call this film "nearly perfect." Shane picked this film and Ronnie did not want to spit out of anger! We do rant about Black Panther and Amazon so we keep our normal rambling style in tact. We address our four questions as usual: when did we first see this movie, our most...
