Betamax Rewind with Matt and Doug

What happens when you rush to get something done more than a day before you expect?  You get a podcast of this quality. We talk about what's going on in the world, what it would be like to be in the old west, and the podcast gets a post season 6 outlook. All this plus Ricky doesn't apologize to Matt for insulting him. Also.  Are there any Star Wars super fans out there?  If you'd li...

How silky is Kevin Costner?  Does the movie hold up to high expectations?  Can we keep it under three hours?  All those, plus more in the latest episode.

We might seem like we're running out of steam, but we are far from over. This week Matt and Doug take on a sequel to a much beloved film.  We talk about anti-heroes a bit, Matt uses auto-tune, and the podcast receives some honest feedback. Plus a late bet causes someone to lose a sawbuck.

We bzzt and click and whatever through a movie that is way more in-depth than you'd expect it to be.  Sometimes movies transcend genres. Several years removed can Matt get promoted to the starting line-up or does he still get stuck seating guests. Plus next week's movie selection is a Kobayashi Maru scenario for Doug.

How could you just let me walk away...let me leave without a trace? Matt and Doug get busy in the sweatlodge of 80s film noir remake Against All Odds. Does it work?  Is it sexy?  Which is better, modern or classic porn?  All these questions will be answered. Recorded, edited and posted in 3:20.  Faster than usual.

Back to war.  Back again.  Doug is back.  Tell a friend. We talk about Russian war is the forgotten move The Beast. How a movie with very little English can go this long is a mystery.

Matt and Doug get back under the three hour barrier. They talk about Christmas and Matt opens a package. There is a special guest at the top of the show. Plus discussion about Blue Thunder

Friend of show Joey returns for his second straight Christmas episode.  Let's see if he can improve on his Gremlins performance. Christmas carols, Christmas traditions, fave and most hated Christmas songs plus a look at what is considered a holiday classic. We've sailed past ten days and just keep on cruising...

There's no way we can go three hours plus three times in a row, right? Wrong.  Matt and Doug go face down into the crotch of the Zemeckis film Romancing the Stone. Do we see Michael Douglas get cancer in real time? Plus a question that isn't easy to answer and we find out what the Christmas movie is.

They're back!  The dynamic duo return in a sequel that may or may not live up to the high bar of the original.   Matt and Doug dig into the weird plot based on later revelations about one of the stars amongst other things. Decent podcast that once again crests the three hour mark.

Doug and his WW2 films.  What can you do?   Honestly a fun podcast where we talk about a ton of different shit Plus Doug gets to pick the next film in a best of 5 scenario.

A Matt childhood fave.  Apologies to the commander in chief.  Bare tits.  Apocalypse discussion.  What else could you possibly ask for?

What if you had the ability to step into someone else's dream? Short and sweet.  Talk about the ethics of power and is it okay to remove someone's clothes in a dream.

Swayze is back with a steel plate in his head.  Rob Lowe makes his first appearance on the podcast.  A man so attractive he is still super popular despite creating child porn shortly after this movie was made. How was the movie?  Was the hockey realistic?  Apparently there is lots and lots of hockey talk in this podcast.  Also does Matt look like the man behind the Wall of...

Listen up you fargin' corksuckers, we got a movie to talk about here.   Matt and Doug kick off Season Six with Michael Keaton and the director of Fast Times doing a comedy take on the gangster genre. I suggest you listen to it once...once There are audio issues.  Matt did what he could, but it is Doug's fault.

Michael Meyers is back and so is T-Dawg.  We walk through a great movie (no matter what any of the hosts say) and trudge through some other issues.

A cutoff hand.  Matt loses an insurance agent.  Doug exercises control over the podcast.  All this and much much more as we look at The Hand.  The penultimate season 5 episode.

He can fly, but can he survive fugitives from the Phantom Zone.  Good fucking flick.

You have Rambo and Lando on a police task force.  The terrorists never had a chance. Take a listen as we breakdown 1981's Stallone vehicle Nighthawks That, plus a new voice, a special guest, and a (mostly) alcohol-free podcast.

A runaway train.  Greased up men.  Political correctness.  Identifying genitals.  Wearing hats.  Booze.  What more could you ask for? Matt and Doug take a deep dive into the shallow pool that is Runaway Train.

Doug defends his Kevin Costner love.  We talk about what is success.  And at some point we actually discuss a movie.

Minor league baseball, major league podcast.  Would you wear frilly things to break out of a slump.  Why Doug is actually gay, and why it does't matter.  That and so much more as we talk Bull Durham.

Now with 99% less Walken impressions.  Shorter and (maybe) sweeter. Swords and Sandals.  Drinks and poop talk.  What else could you ask for?  Well you get stupid robot birds, nudity in a PG movie, special effects that are really, really bad, and the lesson to pass on to your kids.

How many bad impressions can you stand?  Sarah...  The Dead Zone presented unique challenges that we may or may not have successfully navigated.

Drug use, dick broom's and high class hookers.  What else could you want out of a podcast...or a movie.  Matt and Doug see if Burt Reynolds can direct his way out of a paper bag as they look at Sharky's Machine. A couple of good scenes.  A mea culpa about last week.  A different format for question of the week and Matt continues to dig down.
