Cash Grab Cinema

Grab a meat pie and get comfy as we explore one of the most unusual films to come out of 2018. Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies (or as we have come to regard it: Kudzu Zombies) is an independent horror film that begs the question: what would happen if a toxic herbicide found its way to humans by way of consuming goat meat? Lonnie and his ragtag group of friends have to fight to stay alive in t...

Tracers, a film that begs the question: "What if you wanted to make a Fast and Furious movie...but you didn't have any money?" This 2015 action-thriller starring Taylor Lautner parkouring all over New York City going in strong.

Finally, a new episode with Rachel, Josh, and Trae! After a few technical issues we are back together even if we aren't all in the studio. The Darkest Minds; is this the YA book that Hollywood finally gets right? It has Amandla Stenberg, kids taking control of their futures, Mandy Moore, and an award winning director; so what's not to like?! Listen with us as we decide if this 2018 film was the be...

Howdy, y'all! In this episode we took a gander at Adam Sandler's 2015 direct-to-Netflix western "comedy" The Ridiculous 6. Featuring culturally insensitive racial stereotypes, a cacophony of jokes that consistently fall flat, and a donkey with explosive diarrhea. This movie begs the question: was this an earnest attempt at making art, or a shameless cash grab? This episode is our fall-back for hav...

What's better than a sci-fi comedy starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? Not sure, but it certainly isn't the sequel. Join us as we peel back the surprisingly few layers of this 2002 follow up to the 1997 original and ask the question: was this a genuine attempt at art, or just a shameless cash grab?

Goodness Glaciers! In this episode, Trae brings us a relic from his childhood; a film that drove the final nail in the coffin of Don Bluth Productions: The Pebble and the Penguin. Was this hurriedly-animated, poorly-scored animated musical a genuine attempt at art, or just a soulless cash grab? Join us as we discuss this and many other topics, like keeping it gully and the weirdness of chest-butts...

Join us for an uncomfortable blast to the past as we unravel the unseemly sexual politics of this 1992 romantic comedy. World-famous mega movie star Tate Donovan and lesser-known independent film darling Sandra Bullock star as nerdy biochemists who happen upon the recipe for sex appeal. Throwing scientific ethics out the door and playing fast and loose with the concept of consent, the two set out...

In this episode, we feature the longest Marvel Minute yet, and explain what the Marvel Minute is! Join us as we discuss the ill-fated 1994 Roger Corman cult classic The Fantastic Four; the only completed film in the Roger Corman catalog that never received a proper release. Was this simply a cheap knock-off of a superhero movie so that 20th Century Fox could retain intellectual property rights, or...

In an era where "mead" is actually hot chocolate, public schoolteachers reside in mansions(finally), and everything looks like the kind of winter wonderland/nightmarish hellscape that only the perpetual Christmas media giant Hallmark can rival -- there lives a flimsy premise. That's right; this episode is about the 2019 Netflix Original holiday film The Knight Before Christmas. Listen as we discus...

Don't miss the climax as we review the last entry of the 50 Shades franchise, "50 Shades Freed." Is this the most romantic love story of our generation, or a fallow attempt at stretching a poorly-written Twilight fan fiction into a needless trilogy?

In this new minisode we talk about our time at GalaxyCon a few weeks ago in July. It was hot, sticky, full of costumes, people, meet-n-greets, but was it a Cash Grab? After four days of wall-to-wall cosplayers we have lots of stories, pictures, and a few shameful confessions to make on this weeks episode of Cash Grab Cinema.

In this episode we examine a very strange Scandinavian fantasy film that was a staple of Rachel's childhood. We attempt to answer the question of whether this is a cash grab as we continually question Rachel's mental state as a child and if her mom thought about abandoning her in the woods.

Geppetto - the time Drew Carey was cast in a made-for-TV Disney live action remake of Pinocchio. This is a movie about a man who wanted a child...until he got one. Co-starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brent Spiner, and Wayne Brady. Singing, dancing, and abject confusion! This movie has it all!

Let's go back to 1994 with Tone Loc, shoulder pads, and Coke-a-Cola. Back when a bank would cash a million dollar check to a child with no id without much fuss.
