Center of Weirdness

We're back, baby! In our first mini episode of Season 2, we lay out what's in store for the new season, including a slightly altered format, a new release schedule, and new bonus shows! Plus we reveal the film we'll be talking about on next week's full episode and discuss sentient weapons, whether the film might be a porno, and hobo librarians. 

Hollywood Josh and Skinner are back to discuss this year's Oscar nominees and predict the winners. But they're doing things a little differently this time: each is making their own set of predictions! Whose prediction powers are stronger? Who do you support?

In the first (and possibly only) edition of the Predict-O-Cast Book Club, we dive into Andrew Neiderman's Pin. We're joined by writer Megan Sunday ( In the Attic ) to dissect this creepy tale of sibling love, a menacing medical dummy, and murder! If you haven't already, check out our episode on the film adaptation of Pin starring Terry O'Quinn!  Content warning: we briefly discuss topics that coul...

Josh and Skinner are still off sipping mai tais on the snowy slopes so Daniel and Claude from The Canon Ball podcast saunter in to cover the trippy cult classic Liquid Sky. Content warning: the movie has some rough moments, including sexual assualt, and it is discussed in the episode, though briefly and in no detail. 

Josh and Skinner are currently on vacation, so Beau North and Sammi C, hosts of the exquisitely funny podcast Excessively Diverted, stepped in to cover the show this week and talk about omelette-and-cupcake-obsessed romantic comedy An Hour Behind. 

In the final episode of season 1, Josh and Skinner look back at the first year of the show and provide a few hints about the fun surprises in store during our February hiatus (something new will drop in the feed every single week, don't you worry!). Season 2 starts Monday, March 5! 

Friend of the show and former guest Gena Radcliffe (of the excellent Kill By Kill podcast) suggested this movie to us on the strength (or was it weakness?) of John Travolta's bizarre beard. What we got was a movie starring two former cinematic heavyweights (Travolta and Robert DeNiro) talking to each in between beating each other senseless. But it's a movie not a without its joys, like the weird C...

Previous guest and Kill By Kill co-host Gena Radcliffe (@porcelain72 on twitter) is back to present us with a movie to watch on next week's full episode. Topics covered include: old men fighting, CGI face replacement, and the Barbarian brothers. 

On this week's episode, we find out if we actually do love a giant, goofy-looking turtle by discussing the 1998 family comedy Everyone Loves Mel (suggested by friend and former guest Christy Admiraal). This movie has so many things to love: a surly teen, a wily grandpa, a greedy land developer, a giant turtle that can... well, you'll see. We critique Roger's singing skills, Mom and Dad's parenting...

In this mini episode, former guest Christy Admiraal (@AdmiralChristy on twitter) returns to provide us a movie we'll watch next week. Will it be something we'll love (maybe, given its title), or something we'll loathe? 

In this special holiday bonus mini episode, Skinner's daughter Holly gives her thoughts on the films we watched this month! 

Gena from the Kill by Kill podcast joins us to wrap up Dog Cainmas to discuss The Three Dogateers, a Christmas movie that forgets it's a Christmas movie for at least half its runtime. This movie's got it all: bizarre commercials featuring Santa Claus, an insane dog catcher, Dean Cain singing to a jelly donut (seriously). This is a perfect way to cap off the holiday season and close out the absolut...

Skinner reacts to the insane trailer for upcoming dog-returns-from-the-dead-to-help-his-owner-get-married film Best Friend From Heaven, while Josh laughs along gleefully.  See the trailer for yourself here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfD8nLAeMDQ

In this special Christmas bonus, we take a visit to Pottersville, the new film that's taking the internet by storm. How did they get such a stacked cast to appear in this Hallmark knockoff? Why do some of these jokes feel like they're at least three years too old to be in a current comedy? Is the idea of furries really that funny? Where's the alternate cut where Michael Shannon snaps and murders e...

We reveal the title of our final Dean Cainmas film and reveal the guest who will be joining us to help decipher the absolute stupidly certainly contained within. We can't wait! 

Our friend Christy Admiraal (@AdmiralChristy on twitter) joins us to discuss A Dog for Christmas, a movie with Dean Cain, Dustin Diamond, Santa Claus, and (maybe?) a dog. It is a TERRIBLE film, but we have a blast discussing it.  If you like the show, rate and review us at iTunes, and tell a friend! 

The holidays are here and they're going to the dogs (and also Dean Cain). That's right, we've got two Dean Cain-and-dogs-and-Christmas-and-Santa movies coming up this month, and we've got two special guests to help us keep our sanity. In this mini episode, we reveal our special guest and the film for next week's episode. We also have a lot of questions regarding whether the dog will talk. 

Month of Thanks wraps up with Arctic Heart, a movie suggested by author (and our friend) Beau North that is way crazier than we initially gave it credit for.  In this episode, we discuss insanely athletic sex acts, adorable fake penguins, UPS's arctic delivery division, and much more.  If you like the show, rate and review us on iTunes. And tell a friend! 

Happy Thanksgiving! Month of Thanks rolls on with a suggestion from friend of the show Tyler Petty. He's brought us a treat from Mexico that perfectly scratches that Twilight Zone itch. The Similars is at once horrifying, hilarious, and (as with previous Month of Thanks films Pin and Valerie and Her Week of Wonders) contains imagery that is sure to be seared upon our brains for some time to come. ...

In our most rambling episode to date, we discuss the 1970 Czechoslovakian surrealist cult classic Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. We can't seem to make heads nor tails of this thing, but we're not sure if it matters. All you need to know is that there are vampires, magic jewelry eating, and a 30 year old grandmother who's painted white. Many thanks to Caroline Fulford for recommending the film. C...

We kick off our Month of Thanks with a recommendation from comic artist Felipe Sobreiro. Pin tells the story of an anatomical medical dummy and the boy who loves him, and it's a whole lot of crazy. Topics of discussion include: Terry O'Quinn's quiet intensity, one-side face-licking make-out sessions, Leon's awful poetry, and the best boyfriend in movie history.  If you like the show, be sure to ra...

On this mini episode, we kick off our Month of Thanks! Throughout the month of November, we're thanking you, the listener, by diving into our list of recommendations and picking four films that listeners have suggested for the show. That means four weeks of full-length episodes. Will we survive this? Let's find out!  Rate and review us on iTunes if you like the show. Follow us on twitter and Insta...

Josh and friend of the show Christy Admiraal (who may or may not be on an upcoming episode) produced this short story for the spooky Halloween season. Now we share it with all of you.  Eight Days, Seven Nights Written by Christy Admiraal  Produced by Joshua Hollis Starring:  Jody Skinner Shannon Campe Joshua Hollis  Christy Admiraal  2017 All Rights Reserved 

The last of our Halloween-centric episodes is here and we aren't sure if this film is a trick or a treat. What do a porn director, Orson Welles, and the Log Lady from Twin Peaks all have in common? This movie! Josh also declares his choice of best Halloween snack, and much like Skinner's choice last episode, it probably isn't something you'd expect.  If you like the show, rate and review us on iTu...

In this mini episode, we reveal next week's film and then talk about some our most memorable Halloween tricks and treats.
