DISASTERPIECE

It’s a mutiny in space! SPACE MUTINY! The most 70s sci-fi movie to come out of the late 80s. A rip-roaring Star Wars ripoff that’s chock-full of reused footage from a much better Star Wars ripoff, Battlestar Galactica. Steve and Justin beam aboard the Souther Sun and discover one of the craziest production histories this side of the moon. From a director on their deathbed to locations that look AB...

They’ll try to get everyone’s favorite little buddy home by falling into holes, r...

We’re back! And what better way to start 2025 than going deep into Vitaliy Versace’s BORN INTO MAFIA. This Francis Ford Nope-ola of a director tells his sprawling crime drama with no script, no real actors, no authentic locations, or any sense of how movies or time works. But, somehow, he delivers one of the biggest cop-out endings in movie history. Steve and Justin can never get enough Vitaliy an...

What makes DOLLMAN the most dangerous cop in NYC? He’s a 13-inch alien with the most powerful gun in the universe. This week, Steve and Justin look through the microscope and try to make sense of Albert Pyun’s 1991 sci-fi classic starring the Clint Eastwood of B-movies, Tim Thomerson (TRANCERS). And even if it all comes up short, there are shockingly few dick jokes for a movie about a ‘13-inch man...

Like a dream-within-a-dream, the GEICO CAVEMEN TV SHOW was a 30-minute commercial with ad breaks. Justin and Steve look back at the Nick Kroll starring sitcom adaptation of one of television's most beloved ad campaigns. A sitcom that would also become a part of television history, but for the exact opposite reasons. Was the show just ahead of its time? Did CAVEMEN walk so TED LASSO could run? All...

HAWK JONES is a cop, a hero, a lover, a loner, a fighter, and most importantly- he’s a six-year-old kid. And so is EVERY OTHER ACTOR in this 80s cop thriller set in the fictional city of Minitropolis. Why? Who cares when you have 90 minutes of kids in mustaches slinging one-liners and fighting crime? So gear up, grab a lollipop, and join Justin and Steve as they breakdown one of the oddest odditie...

Office Max made a Punk’d-style reality show with The All-American Rejects. Yes. That’s a real sentence. On this episode of DISASTERPIECES, Steve and Justin examine SCHOOLED, the Office Max commercial that pretends it’s an hour-long TV special. Why does this thing exist? Did it actually help a failing school-supply retailer sell more printers? And is it ethical to absolutely torture real school chi...

Actor/comedian Anne Hogan swoops in to help Justin and Steve breakdown a movie where a child literally has the power of flight but no one really seems to care. Concrete answers may be sparse, but giggle fits will be bountiful. Just don’t forget your skateboard. Follow...

Candy Corn. It’s sweet, silky, and has been a staple of the candy store during the last THREE CENTURIES. So why does everyone hate one of the best-selling sweet treats of all time? Steve and Justin rip open a bag of the divisive tri-colored devils to get to the bottom of America’s love/hate relationship with Candy Corn… even if it spells doom for their tummies, and forever ruins the concept of ‘ed...

You know what this is. Say it. THE LAST VAMPIRE ON EARTH. The most egregious TWILIGHT rip-off of all time. Comedian Emily Panic joins the boys and lends some of her paranormal expertise to help break down a vampire movie that arguably might not even have a real vampire in it. And with an IMDB summary like this: ‘ A second-hand report of a man vomiting after eating chicken leads a preacher to belie...

The BBC television special GHOST WATCH is unironically amazing—like it’s really, really good. So why are Steve and Justin talking about this paranormal phenomenon from 1990? Because the aftermath of this fake live broadcast is one of the worst and most tragic disasters they have ever covered. It's a story that has to be heard to be believed. So turn out the lights, get cozy in your glory hole, and...

Hoff Matthews joins the boys in the ring to face off against Uwe Boll’s ALONE IN THE DARK. Is this VERY LOOSE video game adaptation starring the poorman’s Jack Nicolson (Christian Slater) and the poorman’s Christian Slater (Stephen Dorff) really as bad as its reputation would have us believe? Or will the boys be too afraid to criticize it since the director LITERALLY beats up his critics? Either w...

Better late than never? Not for the ZUNE, Microsoft’s portable MP3 player and self-described ‘iPod killer’ that lost hundreds of millions of dollars. On this week’s DISASTERPIECES, Justin and Steve look back at the brief and not-so-glorious reign of the mp3 player that almost every kid was disappointed to find under the Christmas tree. From the obtuse ad campaign to the unfortunate branding of bei...

A baboon actor? The craziest stunt ever featured on Disasterpiece? AN OLYMPIC MEDALIST? It can only mean one thing: the boys are talking THE ORDER OF THE BLACK EAGLE. The wildest, silliest 80s action movie you’ve never heard of. Listen to the ridiculous story of Duncan Jax, the James Bond-knockoff you didn’t know you needed (featuring, of course, a terrifying cryogenically frozen Hitler) in the be...

Losing a million dollars isn’t cool. You know what IS cool? Losing a BILLION. This week Justin and Steve light up the history of PREMIER, the tobacco industry’s first attempt to create a smokeless cigarette. Developed in secret for a market that had no need for it, PREMIER was meant to be a healthier trip to flavor country but ended up tasting like something much, much worse. So sit back, relax, p...

Little Beanie Weaver herself joins Justin and Steve in the studio to explore the psyche of a middling, middle-aged breakdancer whose biggest dream is to make a movie about a middling, middle-aged breakdancer...

Yes, there’s a lost Hitler sitcom pilot from the 90s. Yes THAT Hitler. HEIL HONEY I’M HOME is just as bad and misguided as you think. Does it all add up to much more than some very lazy TV writing? Not even close. But in a world where you have a better chance of winning the lottery than having your pilot picked up, you won’t believe that HEIL HONEY I’M HOME even exists. And if you thought this guy...

Sequel Summer comes to a slow and steady halt with SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL! Is Jason Patrick the worst action star of the 90s? Possibly.

Grab your leeches, strap on a life vest, and get ready for high-octane thrills while going about as fast as you can in a school zone. #Diaperg...

Foodfight! is the worst movie that Justin and Steve have ever seen. This cannot be disputed. But it can be investigated! Like Dex Dogtective himself, the boys will try to uncover the mystery of how an ungodly amount of money was spent on this Disaterpiece. Was it purposely destroyed by its creator? And how exactly does James Cameron fit into this mess?? If you loved all of the IP in recent Disney...

It’s the 8O’s, you’re home alone. Chat rooms are decades away. What do you do?

Delta… Southwest… Hooters Air. This week, Steve and Justin explore the very real history of the Hooters airline that lost millions of dollars. What was its downfall? The odd choice of in-flight food?
