Watch Skip Plus

The Boys get possessed by some Deadites this week as they cover “Evil Dead Rise,” the latest entry in the (apparently debatable) long-running horror franchise. Did they find this installment to be worthy of the name or just a cheap cash-in? Before determining that, Jose pluses a unique stage/theater production he is taking part in, while Justin gets topical by covering a video game from the “Evil...

Grab the crosses and wooden stakes (and call the police)! The Boys venture into Dracula's lair to review comedy-action director Chris McKay's high concept twist on the classic Universal monster vampire, "Renfield" starring "Nic Squared" (Nicholas Hoult and Nicholas Cage). Surprise guest Sam U. Rai from our Pod Father podcast "The Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Ci...

The Boys enter uncharted waters for Watch/Skip+ this week, as they review an animated film targeted primarily towards children. That film being “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” the latest from Illumination and the first adaptation of the hit gaming franchise since the infamous live-action adaptation from thirty years ago. As our resident big kid, Red, put it, the secondary target market for this mov...

The Watch/Skip'ers are back with a new episode that's HALF the length of our Oscar episode...LOL....a massive 5 member critical analysis of Paramount/Hasbro-eOne's epic adaptation of the famous OG RPG game "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves". Joining the Boys are Troy from "Not A Bomb" podcast and the father/son tag team of "The Gentleman's Guide to...

The Boys’ wild dreams come true as they welcome the brother podcasting duo of Daniel and David of the Wild Dream podcast onto the show! Sorry, we couldn’t resist that cheesy joke! Just like we couldn’t resist covering the fourth (and possibly final) installment into the “John Wick” franchise, “John Wick: Chapter 4!" Before tackling that beast, our guests introduce themselves through their plu...

The Boys take on yet another superhero flick, DC's Shazam! Fury of the Gods, directed by David F. Sandberg. And while there are no ant men or dimensional portals, this one has flying superheroes, dragons and goddesses, and progressive parents. We are forbidden from reviewing anything comic book/superhero without Masaki, the Son of Sam U. Rai; check out the three of them as they decide whether...

It’s the return of the normal-length episode this week, as The Boys review “Scream VI” in under two hours! No monstrosity of magnificence here like our Oscars episode. Just a lean, mean slasher discussion machine! Before the duo share their thoughts on the latest installment of the long-running franchise, Cupcake shares his thoughts on one of the Oscar-nominated short films, while the Cinemasochis...

You'll excuse the Boys for the late release on this massive, "longest run time ever" episode. Welcome to the 1st Annual "Red Cupcake Oscars Prediction Show" - nearly FOUR hours of top flight Oscar analysis where the Cinemasochist and Cupcake run through each Oscar Category and make their predictions of "who they want to win" and "who they think will win". The Oscars Awards Show airs THIS Sunday Ma...

The Boys head to the South (by way of Ireland) to review the viral sensation, “Cocaine Bear.” Did they feel the comedy lived up to the hype or was it too strung out (see what I did there)? Before finding that out, the duo break new ground by calling back prior pluses: Cupcake once again reps for a requel with ties to this week’s film, while the Cinemasochist gives his cheeky spin on a product revi...

Phase yourself into this new episode as the Boys (with special guest Masaki, i.e. "Son of Sam U. Rai" of the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema) watch/skip the Phase 5 inaugural tentpole (albeit early in the year) event that is Marvel Studios' Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Hilarity, metaphors to rollercoasters, Red's (incessant) puns, and occasional Cupcake-driven expletives abound as the th...

On this super-special edition of Watch Skip Singular, Cupcake is joined by Mike the "Wilden-beast" to do a deep dive on the Sundance Film Festival.  Listen as the two discuss the history of the famous Utah-based annual film festival, the format of Festival (what's in competition? Are there rules? What are the awards?), and his picks for this year's Best of the Sundance Film Festival 2023 (rea...

It's finally happened! A Watch/Skip+ episode that is shorter than 90 minutes! Surprising that a Steven Soderbergh film was what did the trick, but there you go. The Boys wrestle with their feelings for the iconic director while reviewing the apparently final chapter in the male stripper trilogy, "Magic Mike's Last Dance." Was it worthy of the director's return (and of the classic Donna Summers son...

Watch/Skip+ BINGO is in EFFECT! (Thanks again Kevin from "Raiders of the Podcast")  The Boyz welcome back the Death By DVD guys to discuss the Fantasia Fest breakout/Shudder exclusive streaming film "Skinamarink" written and directed by short-film creator Kyle Thomas Ball. With its viral marketing and sensational pull quotes ("uniquely terrifying", "unsettling and haunting"), is its experimen...

The Boys fly solo this week as they dip their toes into the body horror pool of “Infinity Pool,” the latest film from Brandon Cronenberg. How does this film stack up in the immense Cronenberg legacy? Not only do we answer that question, we beg many questions about what this strange film means regarding humanity, morality, and art. Before waxing philosophically, Jose pluses some of his favorite New...

Episode 24 has the Boys trying to find the final verdict in "Missing", the "Screenlife" spiritual sequel to the similar "desktop movie "Searching" (2018). Joining them is new guest E.f Contentment ("Exiled from Contentment" as his blog and IG are titled) who is a natural for the show. Listen as they wax poetic about their age, social media, David Cronenberg, and the "cinema sins" of "Missing", &nb...

It’s the first Watch/Skip+ & Death by DVD crossover of 2023! We can all thank Blumhouse for this occasion, as their new evil doll horror comedy "M3GAN" brought Harry and Linus into the embracing arms of Jose & Justin. The technophobic thriller produced a healthy discussion on the dangers of technology overload, as well as a new rating that caused a laughing fit (kept in for your enjoyment)...

2023 brings the return of Cupcake.....because Watch Skip Singular is BACK !  Cupcake is joined by the Flickboxer himself, Brian (previously guest-pod'd on Watch/Skip+ "Samaritan" and 'Hellraiser"), and the dynamic duo review the new streaming Peacock Original "Sick" written by the "Scream" master himself - Kevin Williamson. At a breezy 83 minutes, the pandemic set slasher dropped on Friday th...

Watch/Skip+'s 22nd episode, the 2nd of '23 (NUMEROGLOGY!) sees the Boys opening their hearts and eyes to the Netflix's streaming original "The Pale Blue Eye" starring Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and Gillian Anderson, directed by (the devastatingly cute, kinda actor-y, almost certainly directorially talented) Scott Cooper. Warning: You may get whiplash when one of the Watch/Skip'ers prattles on...

It's a new year and The Boys are celebrating by welcoming Brad from the wonderful Not a Bomb podcast onto the show to review Netflix's big holiday release, "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." We discuss everything from the ensemble cast, the mechanics of murder mysteries, the appeal of broad comedy, and the strange limited theatrical window that Netflix grants to certain films. Before that, Brad...

For the last episode of 2022 (#20in2022)...The Watch/Skippers take on the A-list star studded, much anticipated, Hollywood hey-day set "Babylon" directed by young Oscar winner Damian Chazelle. At nearly three hours in length and with a puzzling marketing campaign (looks like "Moulin Rouge"...plays like something completely different), is this a soon-to-be cult classic revered for its rich cinemato...

As the holidays start ramping up and the year starts drawing to a close, the Boys head back to the theater to cover the most expensive film ever made, James Cameron's long-awaited sequel, "Avatar: The Way of Water." The visual tentpole picture produced a girthy discussion on 3D, IMAX, special effects, the sequel gap, heady themes, and what constitutes art & experimentation. Before diving in (s...

Santa’s gift sack is overflowing on this bountiful episode where The Cinemasochist and Cupcake for the first time have a COMBINED plus, detailing a wild and wacky weekend together. Not only will you be treated to a review of Joe Begos’ new horror film…the “violent robot Santa” thriller “Christmas Bloody Christmas” (releasing day and date to theatres and to Shudder as of December 9th), but the Watc...

Ho ho ho! Tis the season for an action-packed Santa riff on "Die Hard!" The Boys go down 87North Productions' chimney to retrieve "Violent Night," which sees David Harbour don the iconic red mantle and kick some serious ass! You won't believe how deep Cupcake and the Cinemasochist go, not just into the production and fight choreography, but the themes hidden beneath the mayhem! Before they unwrap...

Episode 16 finds the Watch/Skip’ers (joined by Harry and Linus, the Death By DVD boys…this being their second appearance) taking a bite out of Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal love story “Bones and All’.  Listen as they go intimately deep under the skin of this oddly poignant and moving reinvention of the “road trip/coming of age” story and discuss Guadagnino’s prowess as an emotional filmic artist...

The Boys celebrate Thanksgiving by going to a fancy restaurant, but discover some shocking surprises with "THE MENU!" (See what we did there?) Before they gorge themselves on the main course, they provide their own appetizers via their pluses. (We can't stop with the wordplay!) Cupcake highlights the career of a misunderstood actress who is hopefully getting a renaissance, while the Cinemasochist...
