Haven’t Seen That in Forever

Five friends. One isolated cabin. One seriously unfortunate book. We're closing out Spooky Season with a bang (and an absolutely unreasonable amount of blood)! This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, Ben, Nels, and Colin head deep into the Tennessee woods to revisit Sam Raimi’s 1981 cult horror classic, The Evil Dead. With a shoestring budget, buckets of fake blood, and a camera that seemingly...

This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever: After Dark, Ben, Nels, and Colin continue spooky season with Bill Paxton’s chilling 2001 directorial debut, Frailty. When a seemingly ordinary father claims God has commanded him to destroy demons hiding among us, his two young sons are forced to confront a terrifying question: Is their dad carrying out a divine mission, or has he completely lost his mind...

Spooky Season continues, and this week we're learning that the scariest thing about homeownership isn't the mortgage. It's whatever the hell is living in the walls. Ben, Nels, and Colin are diving into Wes Craven's 1991 cult classic The People Under the Stairs, a gloriously unhinged combination of horror, dark comedy, social commentary, and two of the most spectacularly deranged landlords in cinem...

The cameras are rolling, the ghosts are allegedly real, and the exit doors have apparently decided to stop existing. Spooky season continues on Haven’t Seen That in Forever: After Dark as Ben, Nels, and Colin check themselves into the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital for 2011’s found-footage nightmare, Grave Encounters. What starts as a hilariously fake paranormal investigation quickly becomes an...

Spooky Season continues on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, and this time we’re heading to Perfection, Nevada — population: dropping fast. We’re revisiting Tremors (1990), the wonderfully bizarre combination of creature feature, western, horror, and comedy that somehow made giant underground worms one of the most beloved movie monsters of the ’90s. We’re talking Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward’s incredible...

Spooky Season sinks its teeth into The Lost Boys, the 1987 vampire movie that somehow made bloodsuckers cool, sexy, dangerous, and extremely interested in leather jackets. This week, we head to Santa Carla to revisit Joel Schumacher’s neon-soaked cult classic and ask what makes it endure nearly 40 years later. Is it actually a great vampire movie, or is the style doing most of the heavy lifting? W...

Spooky Season rolls on with a horror movie that somehow makes you laugh, wince, and maybe even get a little emotional about your best friend—all while London is being overrun by zombies. This week, we revisit Shaun of the Dead and ask: is this movie actually way smarter than a zombie comedy had any business being? We dig into the absurdly clever writing, the details hiding in plain sight, and how...

Spooky Season has officially arrived at Haven’t Seen That in Forever—and we’re kicking it off with one of the most unsettling horror movies of the 2010s: Sinister. We revisit Ethan Hawke’s descent into a box of Super 8 nightmare fuel, the horrifying home movies, Christopher Young’s incredible soundscape, Mr. Boogie, that damn lawnmower, and the moments that helped earn Sinister its reputation as o...

This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, football is officially back, so we’re kicking off the NFL and college football seasons with The Replacements (2000). The movie that gave us Keanu Reeves at quarterback, Gene Hackman on the sideline, and a team of replacement players somehow becoming the easiest group of lunatics in sports to root for. We’re talking Shane Falco, Footsteps Falco, prison-yar...

This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, we’re revisiting Weird Science (1985), John Hughes’ completely unhinged combination of teen comedy, science fiction, and the question: what if two horny teenagers could build Kelly LeBrock with a computer? We’re talking Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton delivering an all-time performance as Chet, bras on heads, mutant bikers, inexplic...

This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, we’re heading deep into the jungle for Congo (1995), the Michael Crichton adaptation featuring Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson, Tim Curry, killer gorillas, a lost city, priceless diamonds, and technology that lets a gorilla ask for a goddamn martini. We’re talking Amy being a good gorilla, Tim Curry deploying one of the wildest accents ever committed to film,...

This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, we’re revisiting The River Wild (1994), starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, and John C. Reilly in a thriller that turns a family vacation into a fight to make it off the river alive. We get into the movie’s incredible cast, the white-knuckle river sequences, Kevin Bacon being spectacularly unhinged, Meryl Streep doing an absurd amount of...

Who killed Mr. Boddy? Depends which ending you watched. This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're unlocking the doors to Clue (1985), the cult comedy that turned a classic board game into one of the funniest and most quotable murder mysteries ever made. We discuss the brilliant ensemble cast, the rapid-fire dialogue, the multiple endings that confused audiences, and why Clue went from box o...

This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, we’re heading to the 23rd century to revisit The Fifth Element (1997)—Luc Besson’s completely bonkers sci-fi adventure starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, and one unforgettable Chris Tucker. We’re talking flying taxis, space opera, Zorg’s truly incredible haircut, Ruby Rhod stealing every scene he’s in, and a movie that somehow combines an...

Mom's gone. The babysitter's dead. And somehow Sue Ellen is now running a fashion company. This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're revisiting Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991), the cult comedy that taught an entire generation that "the dishes are done, man." We dive into Christina Applegate's star performance, the movie's unforgettable one liners, its surprisingly sharp satire o...

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're cranking the amps to 11 and revisiting Rock Star (2001), the Mark Wahlberg-led ode to big hair, bigger dreams, and the glory days of heavy metal. We dive into the film's loose connection to the real-life story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, discuss whether the movie still captures the magic of arena rock, and debate if becoming the lead singer of your favor...

With the world watching the World Cup, we're revisiting Victory (1981), the WWII soccer film that somehow brought together Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Pelé, and a roster of real football legends. We break down the movie's wild premise, its unforgettable match sequence, and why it feels like a World Cup final wrapped inside a prison-escape thriller. Plus, we discuss the real players behind t...

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we grab our Power Swords and travel to Eternia as we revisit Masters of the Universe (1987). Starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man, Frank Langella as the delightfully over-the-top Skeletor, and a cast of characters that somehow end up spending most of the movie in suburban America, this adaptation of the iconic toy line and cartoon is every bit as bizarre as...

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're lacing up our sneakers and heading back to 1996 for Space Jam. Part sports movie, part cartoon, part fever dream, Space Jam somehow became one of the most beloved family films of the '90s.

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're revisiting The Day After Tomorrow (2004) - Roland Emmerich's disaster epic that froze New York, launched countless climate debates, and convinced an entire generation that outrunning the weather might actually be possible. Plus, someone with actual weather knowledge joins the discussion. Enjoy!

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're heading into the woods to revisit one of the most influential horror films ever made: The Blair Witch Project (1999). Made for a shoestring budget and marketed so convincingly that many people thought it was real, this found-footage phenomenon changed independent filmmaking and horror forever. Join us as we discuss the movie's groundbreaking marketi...

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're clocking in for a shift at Shenaniganz and revisiting 2005's cult comedy, Waiting....

From ridiculous coworkers and demanding customers to after-hour...

This week on Haven't Seen That in Forever, we're breaking into Alcatraz and revisiting 1996's action masterpiece, The Rock. Join us as we discuss Nicolas Cage's peak Nicolas Cage-ness, Sean Connery's endlessly cool performance, Michael Bay's explosion-filled directing style, and why this ridiculous premise somehow works so well. Does The Rock deserve its reputation as one of the greatest action mo...

Vicious. Violent. Vindictive. Very, very theatrical. This week we revisit V for Vendetta. A visually volcanic vigilante story packed with vengeance, veiled identities, verbose monologues, and enough vendetta-fueled chaos to vaporize Parliament twice over. We get into the film’s vision of fear, freedom, and fascism, debate whether V is a virtuous revolutionary or a verified psychopath, and revisit...

This week we’re diving into Sister Act. A movie that somehow blends crime, comedy, and a choir that has no business going that hard. We get into what makes it so rewatchable, how Whoopi Goldberg completely carries the film, and why this might be one of the most unexpectedly fun movies of the ‘90s. From the music to the characters to the chaos of the whole setup, it’s one of those films that just w...
