42: Loose Cannons (1990) - Part 2 24.05.2018 1:07:53
We're back to discuss the rest of 1990's Loose Cannons, including that mysterious painting and the absolutely aggravating way Ellis's legitimate trauma manifests. We also discuss the bizarre McGuffin at the center of the film, which, boy oh boy, is something. There's also a title song in this movie, for some reason, and you get to hear it in full!
41: Loose Cannons (1990) - Part 1 21.05.2018 42:22
This week we're launching into 1990's Loose Canons, a cop buddy comedy starring Gene Hackman and Dan Aykroyd. In our breakdown of the first 10 minutes, we discuss the safe sex PSA at the beginning of film and whether it will have any bearing on the plot, the Thanos-like mindset of Hackman's character MacArthur Stern, and what exactly Dan Aykroyd's character Ellis is painting while spending time as...
40: Police Assassins (1984) - Part 2 17.05.2018 1:03:23
We close out our coverage of Police Assassins by laughing a lot, just like our favorite new character, Mr. Tin. We also discuss how this film pulls a fast one and makes the main characters three goofballs and not Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock like we were led to believe. There is some good martial arts though, and some excellent, excellent laughing by Tin. Laugh with us, won't you?
39: Police Assassins (1985) - Part 1 14.05.2018 33:47
Our month of films selected by friend and fan Felipe Sobreiro (@sobreiro on twitter) rolls on with the action-packed romp Police Assassins (also known as Yes, Madam!). This movie packs in so much action in the first six minutes, there's no way the rest of the film can measure up, right? Right?
38: The Wild Wild Planet (1996) - Part 2 10.05.2018 1:00:11
We're back with part 2 of our coverage of The Wild Wild Planet, picked for us by Felipe Sobreiro ( @therealsobreiro on twitter). This movie's got it all: 6,000 daily abductions, tiny doll people, male jealousy, weird monsters with extra arms, future cars, rivers of blood, a hall of mirrors and not-so-perfect people. Rate and review us where you find the show! Become a follower on social media: ...
37: The Wild Wild Planet (1966) - Part 1 07.05.2018 29:17
In the first of our month's worth of episodes programmed by our friend Felipe Sobreiro (@therealsobreiro on twitter), we travel back in time to the 1960s to travel into their vision of the future, where the quest to create the perfect man is all-consuming. We lay out our predictions for the rest of the film and wonder whether the perfect man will be our savior or will doom us to death? Part 2 dro...
Summer Blockbuster 2018 Predictions 03.05.2018 31:27
The summer blockbuster season is here, so Josh and Skinner decide to lay out their predictions for some of the biggest films of the next few months and what they expect from Stan Lee, Josh Brolin, and Tommy Cruise.
Mini Ep 30 30.04.2018 18:13
In this mini episode, we lay out the special month that lies ahead: our good friend Felipe Sobreiro (@therealsobreirbo on twitter) is programming an entire month of episodes! Listen in to hear what movies he has in store for us. It's sure to be a rollicking, wild ride.
36: The Killing Man (1994) - Part 2 26.04.2018 59:57
We're back with our reactions to The Killing Man and hoo boy did we not expect it to go in the direction it did. We get our hero beating up lots of random guys, having lots of sex, and being extremely dour, but still polite enough to ask if he can smoke around his love interest. We also get some VERY problematic material that we weren't expecting in this white guy karate movie (this movie DOES NOT...
35. The Killing Man (1994) - Part 1 23.04.2018 33:02
In part one of our discussion on 1994's The Killing Man (aka The Killing Machine), we predict why hero Harlin Garrett isn't too eager to discuss baseball, the likelihood of getting into face-swapping territory, and whether or not this shadowy organization made a snuff film. Part 2 drops on Friday! Rate and review us wherever you find the show! Become a follower on social media: Twitter: @predi...
Predict-O-Cast Jr. Ep 3: Ferdinand (2017) 19.04.2018 36:51
In this episode, Holly and Skinner discuss recent Academy Award-nominated animated film Ferdinand. Holly proves that advertising works by revealing her favorite commercials, and Skinner once again doubles down on pedantry in regards to Frankenstein's monster.
Mini Ep 29 16.04.2018 19:12
In this mini ep, we reveal our next film (recommended by a new listener) and delve into what it really means to be a killing man as opposed to a killing machine.
34. Once Upon A Time in Venice (2017) - Part 2 12.04.2018 59:20
We're back with Kip Reed to talk about the rest of this baffling movie, which sort of explains why this episode is perhaps our most rambling and ramshackle to date. This movie just makes no damn sense, you guys. We talk obvious Mexican-American Jason Mamoa, crazed John Goodman, confusing plot lines, the film's incredibly racist undertones, and the fascinating productions of Voltage Pictures. Rate...
33. Once Upon A Time In Venice (2017) - Part 1 09.04.2018 31:09
Bruno Alert! We welcome internet friend (and Skinner's former cohost) Kip Reed to help us discuss the first 10 minutes of this baffling Bruce Willis action comedy that is ostensibly about a why one should never mess with a man's dog, yet no dog appears at all in the first 10 minutes. We also discuss the production company logos, whether or not John Goodman will voice a dog, and how many times Jaso...
Bonus: Butterfly Kisses Sampler 05.04.2018 33:48
We've had an influx of new listeners recently so we're spotlighting a weird podcast Josh and Skinner produced in 2017: Butterfly Kisses, the podcast where Josh and Brian talk about Crazy Town's hit song Butterfly and break it down line by line. The show goes in weird places and we think some of you might enjoy it. Check it out wherever you get podcasts or listen to every episode at butterflykisses...
Mini Ep 28 02.04.2018 21:10
In this mini episode, we reveal next week's film, talk about the special guest who will join us, and wonder whether the aging action start at the film's front will be grumpy or not (probably grumpy). We also ask the most important question of all: will the dog talk?
Predict-O-Cast Easter Special: Cirque Du Solegg 01.04.2018 43:09
We attempted something ambitious -- cover the 1982 Family Circus Easter animated special every day for the entirety of Lent -- but it didn't go as we planned. We ended up scraping the project entirely and never releasing anything - until now. This is a compilation of all the usable audio that remained after this marathon, 40-day recording cycle. It's lucky we're still alive.
32. Deadly Games (1982) - Part 2 29.03.2018 1:00:37
On today's episode, we continue talking about 1982's Deadly Games. We predict there has never been a more thoughtful or thorough discussion of this film by any other podcast or media outlet. We discuss the killer's motive and why his identity needed to be a secret (it didn't!), and wonder just how many people are boning each other in this town. But before we get into the discussion, Adam Roche fro...
31. Deadly Games (1982) - Part 1 26.03.2018 38:24
In this episode, we begin our discussion on 1982's Deadly Games, a film that, at first, appears to be a standard slasher, what with its wheezing, black-gloved killer and helpless victim, but with the addition of a very cheesy looking board game. Also, what role will football hall-of-famer Dick Butkus play in the film? There's only one way to find out! If you like the show, please rate and review...
Predict-O-Cast Jr. Ep 2: 2018 Kids' Choice Awards 23.03.2018 23:26
Holly and Skinner are back to predict the winners of the upcoming 2018 Kids' Choice Awards! What are these categories? Who ARE some of these nominees? Show your support on social media with #teamholly or #teamdaddy (maybe NSFW) and let us know who you think has the best predictions!
Predict-O-Cast Presents: Hot Diggity Dog Ep 1: Doggie B (2011) 22.03.2018 50:43
The first episode of our side project about the wild world of dog movies floating around Amazon Prime and Netflix is here! In this episode, we discuss Doggie B, a perplexing film about the world of competitive dog dancing. This film is capital-w Wacky, with characters who look related to those in Ron Howard's traumatizing live-action Grinch movie. Also there are dog steroids, a car covered in mark...
Mini Ep 27 19.03.2018 11:38
In this week's mini episode, we reveal next week's film and discuss ways to make certain games more deadly. Listen to this episode, or you'll get dynamited.
30: Murder Weapon (1989) - Part 2 15.03.2018 57:04
We're back with our thoughts on the rest of Murder Weapon, a movie that is shockingly violent and shockingly inept in almost every way, but an absolute blast to watch (if you skip the interminable first 20 minutes). The kills are insane, the villain apparently has super strength, and the guys are dumb as rocks. This movie took our expectations and smashed them to smithereens with a sledge hammer....
29: Murder Weapon (1989) - Part 1 12.03.2018 35:23
In our first proper episode of Season 2, we wrestle with Murder Weapon, a seriously sleazy 1989 movie that is about... something? From these first 10 minutes, we're actually not sure what it's about. Maybe vampires? Split personalities perhaps? We make our predictions and prepare ourselves for what's to come. The only way you'll know for sure what we've gotten ourselves into is to come back on Thu...
Predict-O-Cast Jr. Ep. 1: Monster Family (2017) 08.03.2018 22:41
The first episode of Predict-O-Cast Jr. is here. Skinner and Holly sit down to make predictions about the 2017 animated family comedy Monster Family. Skinner teaches Holly about semantics and Holly talks about the method by which she'd destroy the world. Oh, and they talk about vampires and mummies and stuff too.
