Booze and B-Movies

Almost a year to the day since the recording of our first episode, and we bring the year full-circle with a viewing of the sequel of the movie featured in Ep. 1, in this case, Thankskilling 3. Thankskilling 3: Turkie is back, and pissed that his sequel Thankskilling 2 has been destroyed without being viewed. So, he has to blaze a path of destruction and death to recover the last copy. There's also...

Our special guest is back for a second installment, so we decided to show her exactly what Steve and Brandon put themselves through each week by playing a movie that is waaayyy less competently done than last week's episode. But first, we talk about our #dreams for a bit and look for a little analysis. Killer Kites: Abby receives a crappy plastic kite as part of her grandmother's estate. Unbeknown...

Maybe if we watch a movie from #Ireland, more Irish folks with tune in, huh? Or maybe since it's from Northern Ireland, it doesn't count? Who knows? We're just trying to get a listener from Connacht anyway. We've also got a special guest with us this week, one of our most enthusiastic listeners, probably because she's Brandon's sister and is just being nice and supportive. But, it is nice to have...

After a couple weeks off due to illnesses running through our houses, we're back and better than ever. Youth sports, politics, and home maintenance are on the agenda this week. We also discuss our new nemesis, Shakira. Murder Party: Some loser knob shows up at a "Murder Party" that he knows nothing about with people he's never met, but the guy is a lonely sad-sack who just wants a friend. Turns ou...

First, catch up on some CSU Women's Hockey and try to answer the age-old question, "Why do douchebags love crotch rockets?" CarousHell: In what must be an allegory for parenthood, a sentient carousel horse...I mean unicorn...Duke gets fed up with kids riding his back and treating him poorly, so he decides to escape the bonds of the amusement park carousel and exact his revenge by killing everyone....

First, we catch up on our weeks of family activities, the usual hockey and gymnastics. Jeez, guys, get a life. Brandon airs some grievances with his #1 nemesis, Denver's RTD system. Night of the Demons: A bunch of high school kids attend a party thrown by a "weirdo," or as Steve calls her, "a misunderstood goth." Unfortunately these kids' attempts to do the 1988-version of Netflix-and-chill in an...

First, Steve shares the feelings he has deep in his heart for #orthodontists and we go over the CSU Lady Rams Hockey season-opening victory over the University of Denver. Then, on to the movie... Maniac Cop features a cop who is a maniac, killing innocents. But, even though we find out he has severe brain damage, he's smart enough to know he needs a fall guy on whom to pin these murders. So, he fr...

First, it's not always fun and games in hockey, when you get hit in the head with a puck. Also, school field trips, and ordering stuff from a company that seems to only sort of exist doesn't always go the best. Then, on to the movie... Sleepaway Camp, is a movie that was actually intended to be scary, not one of our usual horror/comedy thing. Although this one does have enough bad acting to find a...

First, a quick catch-up on #Election2024 (aka MasterDebaters), some youth hockey updates and a third installment of figuring out what gymnastics is like for eight-year-olds. Then, on to the movie... Do or Die, the sixth installment of the L.E.T.H.A.L, a movie series that should stop doing and just die. Steve is curious to see how Andy Sedaris might refine his storytelling over the years, and it ap...

Picasso Trigger, the third installment of the L.E.T.H.A.L Cinematic Universe. This one crams even more pages of Playboy into the cast list. SEVEN former playmates. Sidaris has a formula. But as far as we can understand the plot: A homeless person's Ernst Stavro Blofeld vows vengeance on The Agency for having killed his brother in Hard Ticket to Hawaii. So, maybe it's more like Die Hard 3?...

The one kicks off with some gardening chat, complaints about the Amazon return process at Kohl's when a person in line in front of you has no honor and youth sports seasons starting up. As far as the movie goes, we check out Malibu Express , out of sequence in the L.E.A.T.H.A.L Cinematic Universe. Much like it's follow-up, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, which we reviewed in Ep 20, this one feature...

The school year has started here in Colorado, so we're adjusting to life after summer break. Maybe it's a parents' break then? This week's movie, Cockneys vs Zombies, puts our two main characters in a real pickle. Their grandad's retirement home is about to be closed. They need cash to try to save it. So, what should they do? Assemble an Oceans 11-style crew of East End Dufuses...

This one takes Steve on a trip down memory lane, as it's set in an early 1990s movie theater. Everything down to the black bow tie reminds Steve of his youth, except for the nudey movie. The crew at a theater stumbles upon an old adult film, after a crazy weirdo crashes through a previously unknown doorway to a movie archive. The staff decides to watch the movie, thereby unleashing an evil suc...

We jump right into our highlights of #Olympics2024, everything from the cycling, to the triple jump, to ping pong. If you missed any of the big moments from Paris, tune in here to get caught up. On to the movie, Mad Cow: A mad scientist vows to continue his quest to create the perfect super-soldier by Frankensteining a bunch of body parts from powerful physical specimens. What could go wrong? Well...

Back after a three-week sabbatical, with what is probably the best podcast we've recorded. There's a little bit of catching up to do in this one. We've got some talk about getaways to #Wisconsin and the #RockyMountain and bar/restaurant experiences on the road. FYI, Brandon does not "play fast and loose" with the rules of golf as Steve says. He counts his score the way he's supposed to, otherwise...

Quick hitter on #Olympics2024, #TourdeFrance2024 and #JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin. Then, Surf Nazis Must Die: Earthquakes hit southern California and the beaches IMMEDIATELY descend into anarchy. Like...instantly. In this environment, the leader of the Surf Nazis, who calls himself Adolf, decides that beach gangs need to centralize under his authority. Leroy Washington, an upstanding member of the c...

In a move that may destroy this podcast, Brandon and Steve give their instant reactions to the first Presidential #Debate2024, which appears to be the sixth-consecutive contest between Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich, thanks South Park. And nooowww...Hell Comes to Frogtown: In a post-apocalyptic world, women rule and men are judged not by the content of their character, but by the quality of their...

Like good Midwesterners, we discuss the weather...then move on to the economics of the Denver metro area. Steve's air conditioner conked out, Brandon's kids are on the road. On to the movie, The Night of the Wererooster: Surviving family members of recently deceased people gather in the woods of rural Western Virginia to learn what happened to their loved ones. Charlotte Reeves has assembl...

Watching our first-ever vampire movie. Eat Locals is a horr-medy from the #UK with lots of gun fire and several vampires reduced to nothing butt dust. The vampires than run the British Isles have a meeting to coordinate their way of life. Turns out, one of them has been doing stuff they shouldn't, so they have to kill the guy. Enter Sebastian, a regular human who gets a chance to join their li...

Classic story of what happens when you flush a pet alligator down the toilet. Of course it grows to extreme size by surviving on test animals full of growth hormone, then gets really mad and terrorizes your city. After all, it's got all them teeth and no toothbrush. Luckily a cop and a herpetologist (who is an expert on reptiles, not what you were thinking) are there to save the day. There was...

John Steele comes home after a variety of oonflict, both war-related and interpersonal, during the Vietnam war. Emotional damage that doesn't really come across due to leading man Martin Kove's resting confused face has led Steele to lose his wife, his career and his sobriety. When his BFF and former Army partner, Lee, is killed by an old war-era nemesis, "Steele is Back" and unleashed on a Vietna...

This week we finish our look at Roger Corman's career with what may be the closest thing to an adult film that Roger put his name on, Dinosaur Island. We weren't quite able to "know it when we see it," though, because we had to watch a version that was apparently edited to meet YouTube's community standards.  In the final installment of the Corman Compendium, Steve runs down what is actually a pre...

After being stymied by streaming services on a few other options to continue May's Roger Corman retrospective, we land on another Alien-style knockoff. This one does divide Brandon and Steve a bit and give a glimpse in their different movie-grading criteria. Brandon likes this one for it's splattery, campy toplessness. Steve expects more in terms of production value, set design, and writin...

The boys are back after a #Fortnight on the road. Brandon enjoyed a couple weeks in Scotland and Steve was off gallivanting around Utah and Arizona. Sadly, the "King of the B-Movies," Roger Corman, passed away while we were on holiday, so we'll be dedicating the rest of May to his career, in a series we'll be calling, "There MAY Be Boobs." Steve takes a deep dive into Roger Corman's career and we'...

Some nut with a weird imagination gets all excited when the Winnie the Pooh classic hits the public domain and decides he needs to make a scary "what if" out of it. Being abandoned by Christopher Robin drives Pooh and Piglet to uncontrollable violent rage. Young women have a girls' getaway in the woods. Paths cross. You can probably guess the rest. Not a bad idea, but the execution misses. Poor wr...
