DISASTERPIECE

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...

What is the best way to explain the story of the genie-obsessed Peter Vinal, director of 2012’s worst family drama, DADDY CAN’T DANCE? With help from one of the stars of the movie, Kate Cox!! 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. Did Justin and Steve cover this Disasterpiece just for the opportunity to gush about SPEED and Keanu Reeves? DEFINITELY. 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? You reach for your VHS copy of RENT-A-FRIEND, a 45-minute video oddity that will leave Steve and Justin delighted, creeped out, and slightly frustrated- but never lonely. Put on your comfiest sweater, grab your best jazz cassette, and get ready to meet your new best friend Sam. Follow us on Instagram to keep updated abo...

Sequel Summer continues with Phil Tippett’s STARSHIP TROOPERS 2: HERO OF THE FEDERATION . How can so much talent behind the camera add up to so little? Justin and Steve will drop into the middle of this mess to uncover the VERY obvious mysteries surrounding VJ Dax and Soda (yes these are actual character names). Would you like to know more? Follow us on Instagram to keep updated about our monthly...

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? The lack of lonely men who want a shoulder touch from a waitress? Or, simply bad timing and some bad luck? Find out in our latest installment of DISASTER-PIECES. Follow us on Instagram to find out mor...

‘Sequel Summer’ continues as Justin and Steve open up THE BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2, or at least they would have if there was a single book in this movie. Get ready to leave with way more questions about The Blair Witch Project’s infamous sequel than you started with as the boys try to figure out if the movie they saw was actually this horrible, or… was it all in their heads? Follow us on Ins...

“This country sucks! It f***ing sucks!!” Could this be the most relevant movie that the boys have covered? Writer/Comedian Zeke Smith joins Steve and Justin to discuss Sam Mraovich’s 2003 Gay Drama ‘Ben & Arthur’. A movie that solves all of its problems with murder and looks like someone shot a porn but forgot the sex. Sam might be a tricky character to figure out, but one thing is for sure… h...

MARIO. SONIC. BABY MOSES. Justin and Steve take a break from covering movies for the first edition of DISASTER-PIECES and explore the 1991 Christian NES video game BIBLE ADVENTURES. What kid wouldn’t want to step into the shoes of Noah? We think most! So get ready to stack some animals, collect the hidden scriptures, and generally be very frustrated. It’s the Bible the way it was meant to be exper...

Jamie Kennedy as The Mask?? Somebody stop him!! This week Steve and Justin take a trip to Edge City Fringe City to explore a sequel that nobody wanted and even fewer people saw, 2005’s SON OF THE MASK . And it’s also the beginning of our ‘Sequel Summer’ mini-series! So join us all summer as we deep-dive into the origins of some of the stinkiest number twos of all time.

It’s Alvin Flang day! Join Justin and Steve on one of their deepest dives into one of history’s most perplexing movies: Love On A Leash . Get ready to fall in love with Director Fen Tian as she serves up magic ponds, a sass-taking golden retriever with 2 personalities, an unlicensed cameo from David Bowie, and every shade of green imaginable. Follow us on Instagram @disasterpiece_movie_night for m...

The DISASTERPIECE podcast has landed! And it's brought a Bird-pocalypse with it! Climate activist/comedian Rollie Williams (Climate Town) helps us tackle James Nguyen's romantic thriller Birdemic: Shock and Terror. Is it actually a romance or a thriller? Probably not. But the story behind this cursed production will definitely leave you with more questions than answers. So gather your family, thro...
