Yet another film in our cursed/haunted object series. You've seen a haunted recliner, you've seen a haunted laundry folding machine, you've seen a cursed deck of cards, but have you seen a haunted swimming pool? You have if you've seen this stinker from 2024. A family moves into a big house with a backyard pool that has miraculous healing properties, but it demands sacrifice! OH NO...

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1997 neo noir suspense film written and directed by David Mamet, the Spanish Prisoner! If you're on vacation and someone offers you the opportunity of a lifetime... assume it's a con game (or an attempt to get you to buy crypto).

Megan utilizes some of her professional expertise in tarot reading to discuss this 2024 horror film. Unfortunately, Eric's discussion of the chemistry of sulfur is about as apropos since this film is only very tangentially related to the subject inferred by its title. A group of seven college students must find a way to avoid falling victim to a cursed tarot card deck. Who, if any, will make i...

In this classic episode, we take a look at both versions of the prison sports comedy-drama movies, The Longest Yard! Are you ready for some football? The Mean Machine is.

The late Shannon Doherty stars in this Lifetime Network, by-the-numbers, young persons' thriller. Stalked by an envious childhood talent show rival, Ms. Doherty is gradually pushed out of her band, her sorority, and even her school by this young viper; a viper who we find out is actually a psycho-killer! This film looks, sounds, feels, and even SMELLS like the 1990s!

In this classic episode, we take a look back at Dan Aykroyd month with the 1981 dark comedy, Neighbors! The premise and acting in this one are pretty good... but it's ruined by the wacky 80s comedy music that never, ever lets up.

Whiny American becomes the world's worst superhero when an Aztec man gives him a magic space belt. He becomes The Pumaman with all the powers of a puma, like flying, teleporting, phasing through walls, and stopping his heartbeat for short periods. Just like a puma! Even Donald Pleasence can't muster up enough energy to act in this dog of a movie.

In this classic episode, we take a look at the low budget horror film, Teenage Slumber Party Massacre! Featuring the same folks that brought you Massage Parlor of Death, we embark on an adventure featuring four friends on Spring Break and the obsessed power drill wielding masked man that's out to get them.

Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo star in this buddy cop mystery comedy zombie picture Mid before mid was mid, this film is mildly enjoyable despite its goofball premise.

Once again we've stumbled on another head scratcher of a WTF movie, this time by schlock-sploitation legend Ted V. Mikels. A woman gets text messages from her deceased fiancé and proceeds to get sucked into a whirlpool of nonsense featuring a seance, a costume museum, Liberace's old piano, a cursed dress, community theater actors, a haunted house and a couple of odd spirit guides. Will she...

It's about a talking boat named "Thunder" that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, Hulk Hogan who's bigger on the outside than on the inside, and Chris Lemmon, a nepo baby who's smaller than his father, talent-wise. In TIP 2, the Hulkster and Bru (Lemmon) have to save supermodel, and owner of the beach bar Carol Alt from some Moroccan shotgun wedding. TIP 3...

Eric and Megan are befuddled by this exquisitely painful summertime monster-on-the-beach picture, mostly because EVERYBODY IS NAKED ALL THE TIME. You might think people would be shot from the waist up, or be holding props like surfboards or frisbees strategically placed. You'd be wrong. You might think our pregnant protagonist would wrap a towel around herself when she goes exploring a dark, s...

In this classic episode, we take a look at the pivotal cyberpunk anime, Akira! Hailed by audiences and critics alike as a masterpiece, this film is regarded as a landmark in Japanese animation, and one of the most influential and iconic anime films ever made.

Celebrating summer, Megan and Eric discuss the classic teen beach movie from 1965. Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello and a cast of many guest stars (Paul Lynde, Don Rickles, Buster Keaton, and introducing Linda Evans) experience hard G-rated fun on the beach when a recording star show up with a pair of skydivers. A dumb guy falls in love with a mermaid. A motorcycle gang haplessly tries to kidn...

In this classic episode, we take a look at the supernatural horror film based on the video game series of the same name, Silent Hill! Does this one check the boxes for fans of the original material or is this treatment too far of a departure from what made the games so good?

In this classic episode, we take a look at two post-apocalyptic movies, A Boy and His Dog (1975) and Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988)! Which is the bleaker future: anything Harlan Ellison comes up with, or the one in which exaggerated frog penis is both a threat and a concern?

What happens when so-called "star-slutch" lands in small town America and starts phagocytosing the local humans? Why Steve McQueen (1958), or Kevin Dillon (1988) and their girlfriends have to rally the townspeople to prevent The Blob, aka The Red Menace from taking over America herself! Bullets cant stop it, fire can't stop it, 10,000 volts can't stop it! What will they do?

Based on a true crime story, Zachary Quinto stars in this odd serial killer road trip picture about a man and his chimpanzee, Spanky, and the sexy, murderous hitch hiker he picks up on old route 66.

The film that gave us the meme: "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.” doesn't even have that line in it! Bad in a forensically-bad way, we discuss some of the baffling choices made by the filmmakers, and even talk a little about the pathophysiology myasthenia gravis!

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1968 comedy, The Odd Couple. Opposites attract, or at very least co-habitate.

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 2007 parody musician biopic, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. We liked it! Sometimes the Bag of Destiny has a hidden gem floating around in it (but most of the time it does).
