Gutting the Sacred Cow

Gutters...come out and Play-EEEE-AYEEEE. John from @Pintocomics decrees that the Warriors is a tale of the biggest dorks that call themselves gangs. The Baseball Furies, Turnbull ACs, the Lizzies...more like the 4H club according to John. Does this 90 minute subway journey from the Bronx to Coney Island strike a chord with @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ? Or is this film worse than being on a tra...

1999 was a fantastic year for film and Y2K hysteria. And for our LIVE SHOW, we invited fan favorites @JoNosuchinsky and @billschulz from @morninbillandjo on @compoundamerica to back. The duo has selected the 1999 cult classic, Office Space. Joanne and Bill target the film that provided some most oft repeated office-speak cliches. But are @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael hypnotized from their argument...

The X-Men films are dropping like flies on this podcast. David from @SuperheroSpeak joins @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ to sling mud at the arguably best X-Men film. Does KI get testy when David attacks his all time favorite character, Wolverine? Is David's argument worse than X-Men Apocalypse or Dark Phoenix?  Let's hope not, those 2 films are worse than someone farting in an elevator....

At the risk of sounding viciously redundant, here we go again. ANOTHER bulletproof film that Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel thought would NEVER face the hangman is here. Our pal, David the Producer, feels that Back to the Future is completely undeserving of all its love and acclaim. No typos here, you read that correctly. DTP hates the tale of the high school kid and wacky professor that build a ti...

And then there was 1. Return of the Jedi is the second of the Skywalker trilogy attempted to be thrown into the Sarlaac pit. Montego and Tiff from @fansonpatrol podcast would love to feed anthrax to the Ewoks as they bemoan why this film is the weakest of the main 3. Do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ clash lightsabers with the FOP? Or do they feel their argument is as satiating as Princess Leia...

Who loves subtitle movies? Well Bobby Slayton (@pitbullofcomedy) sure hated a recent Oscar winner that has subtitles and that film is Parasite. The story of a grifting South Korean that folds pizza boxes irks Bobby so much that he had to come on (taped back at the start of quarantine!) to explain why the Oscars got this wrong. @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ are ASTOUNDED (no hyperbole, it's...

The Molly Ringwald/John Hughes trifecta is now complete as Lauren Conlin (@conlin_lauren) climbs aboard the SS Gutting the Sacred Cow to set that same "awkward high school girl fights off nerds" story yet again. Can Long Duck Dong and Anthony Michael Hall make this film bulletproof? Do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ make this a clean sweep against another Molly and John joint that crumbl...

Yet another favorite 80’s action movie faces the scrutiny of a gutter. Mike Davenport (@marvel_mmo) hates Rambo: First Blood Part 2. He hates Stallone’s never ending supply of arrows and neanderthal-esque dialogue. But you all know @KevinGootee and @Kevinisrael_nj are unabashed 80’s action movie superfans. Can Mike bring enough ammo to this argument or do KG and KI hide in mud and slit his throat?...

We had to have Don Jamieson return (@realdonjamieson on @compoundmedia doing That Jamieson Show) to discuss why he has a bugaboo about the award winning, "Leaving Las Vegas."  Do we talk about Elizabeth Shue pouring booze on her boobs?  You bet your ass we do.  We also talk about how Nicholas Cage portrays a fake alcoholic and also wonder why the nonstop jazz music is so overbearing and ca...

Boondock Saints was a movie that dudes in the late 90s/early 2000's worshipped.  But Mike White (@proboothpodcast) says the wool is over everyone's eyes.  According to him, the story of the religious hitmen in Boston is more grating than the Boston accent.  Do KG and KI return to their love for this film while wearing metal or puka shell necklaces and rocking the Caesar haircuts?  Or his M...

People love the Cohen brothers but not returning guest, Dan Buffa.  @Buffa82 hated La La Land and now steers his crosshairs towards the dusty, bad haircut, and bolt pistol laden No Country For Old Men.  Dan thinks that this film ain't as good as you all make it out to be but will @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ defend a film where the main character is a man named Llewellyn?  Let's transf...

One of more most hated guests (only because she decided to take on Toy Story) returns for a shot at vindication.  @JenniferEckhart has one of the biggest 80's darlings locked and loaded in her sights, The Breakfast Club.  Looks like John Hughes isn't above his sacred cows gutted as this is the 3rd film of his we've done on this podcast.  Can Jen convince Kevin and Kevin (much better lo...

Another FIRST occurs during our podcast when Delvin Cox shows up for the 3rd time and decides to attack one of the biggest blockbusters of all time that can be argued as a perfect film, Jaws.  Go ahead, clutch your pearls and catch your breath.  Can Delvin make the case this movie is overrated unlike Jaws 4?  Or do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ think his argument was funnier than Deep Blue Sea....

First time gutter Will Leitch bellies up to the bar to take on everyone's favorite Hitler satire indie film, Jo Jo Rabbit.  @WilliamFLeitch thinks this "comedy" isn't worth the film it's printed on.  Wait a second, no one uses film anymore!  Do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ find his argument as reprehensible as a prancing Nazi or does Will successfully shove this film into a...

We invited Ralph Sutton from the SDR show on Gas Digital (@iamralphsutton @gasdigital) to come back and he has selected yet another comic book film, Wonder Woman.  He couldn't convince the gang that Avengers Endgame didn't meet the hype, do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ this time buy into his disdain for Gal Godot's iconic feminist superhero? Want an EASY way to improve gut health a...

The Princess Bride is a staple of Gen Xers beloved films but not for our creator/host @KevinGootee.  KG hates this film (not as much as Christmas story) and explains why a film shouldn't be revered for 2 obnoxious, overused quotes.  Joining us as guest host yet again is fan favorite Joanne Nosuchinsky from Mornin on Compound Media.  And of course, @KevinIsrael_NJ gets to sit in the host chair...

2021 sucked major ass but @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ are making chicken salad from chicken s--- We're going to let you know what films we loved, hated, and what are favorite moments from the podcast this year: favorite newcomer, most fun gutting, and fan favorite episode to name a few. THANK YOU for hanging out with us every single week, you're all aces in our book and can't wait...

@JL-Cauvin is a master Donald Trump impressionist as well as a master at making us watch LONG films and continues the streak in our latest episode.  JL has us view the nearly FOUR HOUR spectacle known as Lawrence of Arabia.  Does he convince @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ that this classic holds water like a desert does? Looking to sell your product, advertise your services, or raise brand aware...

Who thinks 300 and the story of Sparta is overrated!?  It's that time of year where we each take turns in the Gutter's chair!  Our own @KevinIsrael_NJ decides to attack Zack Snyder  (why not, everyone else has) and his CGI laden story of Leonides and Xerxes.  Re-joining us is the one of the crew's favorite, @BillSchulz, from @morninwithbillandjo on @compoundmedia.   Don't forget, y...

Every time someone says, "THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN", an angel gets his wings.  @PhilRanta thinks "It's a Wonderful Life" is as appealing as being stuck in a black and white movie with a second class angel.  But do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ think his argument is worse than sitting on Santa's lap as he gets a boner?  Looking to sell your product, advertise your services...

An absolute FIRST occurs during our podcast when Shelly Martinez decides to attack one of the comedies nearly on everyone's favorite list, Dumb and Dumber.  What's that first?  Something that knocks @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ socks right off and never in a million years would've thought happened.  Can Shelly sway the pair that that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are a worse duo than...

At the risk of sounding overly redundant, we're shocked when people come out of the woodwork to hate films we've deemed bulletproof.  Now, the Nolan Batman trilogy is complete since @TheMikeyFlash decided to throw Batarangs at the crown jewel of the series, The Dark Knight.  We can hear the comic book nerds cracking their fingers and ready to type sternly worded missives at Mikey as puts a...

When you think of classic movies, this HAS to be 1 of your 10.  And @stonerjesus absolutely hates The Wizard of Oz.  The film that easily makes its way into our daily lexicon when someone tries to be funny and drops a "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" quote or "I'll get you my pretty!"  This is probably one of the first films you saw as a kid but do @KevinGootee a...

One of the few bulletproof films (so we thought) faces a turkey shoot on this week's episode.  THE Thanksgiving movie; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, is targeted for butchering by Caissie St. Onge.  (@Caissie on twitter)  She doesn't like this tale of 2 wayward travelers who sleep together and ball snuggle, drive the wrong way down a highway, or lead a bus full of DWI people in a singalo...
