Don't Worry, B Movies

Download the Sturdy Wings AI Bot and grab an energy drink (but only if you want to become a hummingbird human monstrosity) while you listen to the latest episode where we discuss the most questionable "B" movie yet.

We all just want to belong. But only Justin can be Long, last name style. Well, him and other people with the last name Long. Ok, ok. Moving from a clumsy pun to a clumsy segue, this week we are discussing the 2006 film Accepted about recent highschool graduates being rejected by the system and finding acceptance in each other.  We cover topics such as telling jokes to power (and how that type of...

Thanks to this week's movie, "Einstein and Eddington", Wade and Amanda have decided to put aside their pretend differences and come together in a glorious show of podcastular cooperation.

This week Wade and Amanda are joined by their good friend Greg Counts to discuss this 80s film about a smart kid making a silly decision. Perhaps…his mother should have insisted on the gonad lasers.

True, a quick wikipedia search will show that Wade...

Will diamonds cause your fingers to fall off even if you use Cryoswipe? We don't know! But what we do know is that this imperfect late 90's movie still has a lot to love about it.
