Gutting the Sacred Cow

One of the most entertaining gutters you're going to hear returns to avenge an earlier loss. Ray Stakenas (@AlmightyRay) from the "Who Would Win" show, explains why Highlander is 80s dreck and can't fathom why people have such an affinity for a boring, vanilla hero.  Do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ agree with him this film is worse than Sean Connery pretending to be a Spaniard?...

Our chum, Bill Schulz (Mornin' with Bill and Jo on Compound Media) returns to see if he make it TWO gutting in a row.  Bill hates America's male sweetheart, Tom Hanks, and sharpens his scythe to try and cut Big down to ribbons.  You know, the one where a 13 year wakes up as a man and decides to get a 9-5 job in NYC instead of do fun adult stuff?  Do Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel find his a...

Our Halloween episode is here!  People lost their minds when The Ring came out almost 20 years ago.  @KenKrantzcomic lost his mind when people try to tell him this is a scary and good movie.  Ken explains why PG-13 movies can't be labeled as, "THE SCARIEST MOVIES" ever and delves into why this film should've been chopped up by a barge's propellers.  Do @KevinGootee and @kevinis...

F is For Family creator and Simpsons writer @MikePriceinLA returns for his 3rd appearance and has firmly grabbed the title of, "any film dealing with a real life event had BETTER be perfectly represented."  Mike sits in the book depository and snipes out Oliver Stone's "JFK".  He also tells you who he thinks killed Marilyn Monroe's most notorious lover.  Do @KevinGootee and...

At the risk of sounding redundant, we thought we'd never have a guest want to target this week's film, Raiders of the Lost Ark.  @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ would've sworn this would've stayed on the bulletproof list but here we are.  Blake Fulton is our second listener winner and decided to wake up and chose violence with his selection.  Our THIRD Indiana Jones film now compl...

We threw a challenge to the audience and invited those to pitch their case why they should appear on the podcast and what film would they choose?  George Neumann was 1 of the 2 we selected and did he answer the call; his selection will send shockwaves through the ether of kids that grew up in the 80's and 90's.  His selection, Commando, Arnold Schwarzenegger's crown jewel of one liners...

Hi snuggle buddies and gals!  New episode and @BJMendelson targets one of biggest critics darlings in the last 10 years, Mad Max: Fury Road.  Milking stations, an unexplained bionic arm, and a lead character that has little dialogue: Is BJ able to convince @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ this film should eat the business end of a flame throwing guitar? LOVE when you write those 5 star ratings and...

Thanks everyone who reached out to congratulate us for our 100th episode.  We promise to keep bringing the funny and entertainment for 1000 more!  This week is one of our favorite returning guests, Juliette Miranda (@morningneurosis from Unwritable Rant and Bourbon Soaked Diaries), and she takes aim at her 2nd horror film on this podcast.  Juliette hates a Quiet Place more than Pretty in Pink but...

MILESTONE TIME!  Thank you ALL for joining and supporting us along to our 100th episode!  It truly means a ton to us that you're a part of this journey with us.  Enough sentimentality, we've got (monkey) business to attend to.  @Michaeloburns from @wisecrack joins us for one of the most important movies of the 80's, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  That scamp cutting class with his girlf...

We had filmmaker Nina Lee (@NinaSerafina) join us for high tea and crumpets while she elaborated why Whiplash is overrated.  That's right, the film that got J Jonah Jameson (JK Simmons) an Academy Award for throwing a cymbal at Miles Teller.  This is no tiny feat to try and convince @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ that this story of jazz school bullying is worse than wearing a feather in a do...

One of our aces, Dave Landau (Louder with Crowder and formerly of Compound Media), returns to target the critically acclaimed story of Mark Zuckerberg in, "The Social Network." Why does Dave loathe that story?  Well, we can't spoil it here, you goofballs!  Let's just say Dave is no fan of Aaron Sorkin.  Do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ tolerate Jesse Eisenberg for just this film...

We're mixing things up and thanks to our buddy, AC Roe (guest from our Wolf of Wall Street episode), got Brian Volk Weiss to sit down with @KevinGootee and AC (@notKevinBacon) to talk about how he got, "The Toys That Made Us" on Netflix.  He also explains why he chose the films that made the cut, the ones he wanted that didn't make the cut, and dropped some MAJOR news regarding sea...

@brandonwenerd from @brobible dropped by to tackle one of the best (?) reboots of all time, Ocean's 11.  Brandon finds this cadre of handsome men quite unbelievable that they can pull off this heist of heists.  @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ may shoot Brandon's argument right into the Bellagio water fountains, what do you think will happen? You can also subscribe to us on youtube (it rea...

It took long enough but someone FINALLY chose one we thought would've been picked earlier: Seth Porges joins @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ to attempt to topple one of the most popular college films of all time, Revenge of the Nerds.  This movie had it all: hi jinx, gratuitous nudity, and the texas switch of all "rapes."  Can this classic still hold up to all of the scrutiny? And a T...

@JamesGavsie returns (first appearance was our Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) from @whowouldwin show to try and topple 3 TITANS of the 80s: Rocky, Mr. T, and Hulk Hogan.  James has no love for Rocky's reasons for fighting, Paulie's blatant racism, nor unethical methods that Rocky uses to fight Thunderlips.  But do @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael take no pity on this fool and make his argumen...

Boundaries?  Not here.  @ryansgameshow decided to go after one of the most beloved comedies of the 2000s, the 40 Year Old Virgin.  Ryan from @funhausteam joins the podcast because he couldn't wait to go after one of the few Judd Apatow films that would qualify for this podcast.  Does Ryan bury this film in a big box of porn?  You know how we know you're gay?  Only if you tell us if you are...

Nothing makes us happier when our guests pick a film that's GUARANTEED to upset the audience and possibly us.  @realdonjamieson decided to take a run at Die Hard in his first appearance and this week, he returns to TRY and take down one of the most influential movies of all time, the Matrix.  @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael are aghast as Don scoffs at Neo, Trinity, and Agent Smith while trying t...

Proving that truly no cow is sacred on this podcast, this week's guest, @JeremyNewberger goes after the 3rd most treasured film on AFI's top 100 list, Casablanca.  The story of Rick and Ilsa evading Nazis in Casablanca makes all the critics swoon. Jeremy wants you to know Rick was perving on a younger Ilsa and how many plot holes are really in this treasured classic.  The question is do @K...

Our fans complain our guests don't select horror/thriller films and GOOD GAWD, KING, THAT'S DREW GRANT'S MUSIC!  In this episode, @VideoDrew explains how Saw talks down to the audience, has a villain with inexplicable capabilities, and how the ending is nonsense.  But you know @KevinGootee and @KevinIsreal are always up to play a game!  Do they agree that this puppet on a tricycle is w...

David the Producer (@behindtherant #podernfamily) returns for the 3rd time as his gutting game is strong!  But this time, he chose an absolute juggernaut, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.  The film that gave Disney the idea, "Hey, let's make a movie after a mediocre ride and then we'll make 3 sequels which terribly suck.  THEN we'll change the ride because it&#39...

A former CIA operative's daughter and her bedazzled jean jacket are kidnapped and sold into the sex slave industry.  No, we're not talking about Jeffrey Epstein's wet dream; we're talking about the reason Liam Neeson is getting 25 million to do lazy action films now...Taken!  Connor Toole (@CToolesaysstuff from @brobible) hates the man who has a special set of skills that saw his f...

Some of you argue the Departed is the 3rd best Scorsese film behind Goodfellas and Casino. This week's guest, @HalRudnick thinks you're all insane if you believe that because Hal contests that this film is the overrated king of them all. @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ discuss if that is indeed the case as well as the consistent ear grating sound of a Boston accent for 2.5 hours. Does Hal...

The man who hated the first X-Men so much he had to return to try and gut the SECOND X-Men movie returns! @UptoTask feels that the world should feel his pain and disappointment why the X-men movie franchise stinks. However, @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ remember this one to be a solid installment but the same question remains, does this tale of Wolverine, Magneto, Jean Grey, Professor X, Nightc...

@KarynTurk is going to touch a LOT of nerves with her choice of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Yeah, the film that every kid from the 70's, 80s, and 90s LOVES. Karyn does not hold back against Gene Wilder's tale of kids looking for golden tickets and 4 grandparents sharing 2 beds. But do Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel send her argument right into the chocolate river? Keep giggling,...

The assailment of superhero films continue as @Drjimmystar piles on with his disappointment of the film, Logan. Jimmy doesn't like the final installment where Wolverine finally gets the business end of death. This Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart story tale doesn't make Jimmy's tingle...tingle. But we do learn who Jimmy has a crush on and we promise, it will surprise you. The real ques...
