I Used To Like This One

Send us Fan Mail We kick of 2024 with a month of posthumously released movies. This week, Shawn and Colin look back at a movie released after star Chris Farley's death in 1997, the frontier-set, buddy team-up 'Almost Heroes'.  For this first "Wish You Were Here In The New Year" movie, we definitely discuss the dark cloud hanging over this movie, but all the bright spots as...

Send us Fan Mail Pull up an RV and stay awhile because this week, Shawn and Colin are joined by returning guest Marissa Dingle, to dive into that classic home for the holidays movie 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'. It's our Christmas episode, so we have some fun discussions about winter sports, sceptic tanks and physical comedy, but most importantly, we include a specia...

Send us Fan Mail What's this? What's this?!?  Shawn and Colin are jumping from Tim Burton directed, to Tim Burton produced when we watch the musical Christmas-Halloween fusion 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'.  We get into all things Jack Skellington, the beautiful artistry of the film, our favorite songs, Shawn's ultimate food metaphor to describe this movie, and our comp...

Send us Fan Mail When it's Christmas and John Maclane ic nowhere to be found, there is another hero that can be trusted on. This week, Shawn and Colin welcome first-time guest Lee Conrad for a supersized discussion of the unorthodox Christmas classic 'Batman Returns'.

Send us Fan Mail Ho, Ho, Ho... It's that time of year again, so Shawn and Colin have brought back Joel Sims to discuss that modern holiday classic, the Tim Allen led 'The Santa Clause'. Without this original, we wouldn't have all those sequels and a Disney+ series. Is this one of the all-time Christmas classic? How does it stack up to everything that followed? What do we think...

Send us Fan Mail To close out CULKVEMBER, Shawn and Colin welcome back guest Michael Ross to take a look at the mostly animated 1994 Macaulay classic 'The Pagemaster'.  Everything from surprising cast members to classic literature to inexplicable animated underwear gets discussed. Nothing is off limits. This movie did terribly back in the day, but is it a cult-classic? One of the 3 of us...

Send us Fan Mail Culkvember rolls on when this week, Shawn and Colin take a look at the movie that inspired a hiatus from acting for our hero, the comicbook adaptation 'Ri¢hie Ri¢h'. Up to this point, everything has had a Kevin McCallister tint on it, is this another film that could just be a pseudo-sequel to Home Alone? We discuss the technology and business savvy of this 12 year old bo...

Send us Fan Mail CULKVEMBER rolls on and this week, Shawn and Colin are going back to the beginning of our hero's career, to look at the 1989 John Hughes comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. Sure, our man for the month only has a supporting role in this one, but what a support it is! We get into everything John Candy on this one because, let's face it, he's the real man of the hou...

Send us Fan Mail Culk-Vember has begun! Four weeks of the man, the myth, the legend... Mr. Macaulay Culkin. To kick it off, Shawn and Colin welcome back Frank Driscoll, to discuss the movie advertised as a thriller, the 1993 classic 'The Good Son'.

Send us Fan Mail Halloween rolls on when Aaron Knowles returns to the co-host position to join Shawn in discussing the sci-fi horror comedy 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space'. We have plenty to say about this film... everything from the science happening in those cocoons to questionable hook-ups to 1988 hooligans. This movie was something Shawn had never seen? Was he on board? How did Aaro...

Send us Fan Mail Grab your fine Chiantis and have your friend for dinner because this week, Shawn and Colin welcome back guest Maren Richardson, to own up to a promise she made last year to watch 'The Silence Of The Lambs'. This is high-brow stuff for us. Our first best picture winner ever covered on the show... Uncharted territory for us. Was it deserving of all its accolades? How does...

Send us Fan Mail No, not the Nicolas Cage version... This week, Shawn and Colin welcome back guest David Owen, to discuss what the hell is going on in the 1973 original cult-classic 'The Wicker Man'. It's a strange movie... if you've seen it, you know this. If you haven't seen it, you should, then come hear this discussion. This is not a podcast episode to listen to withou...

Send us Fan Mail Put on your spurs and grab your horseshoes on ropes because this week, Shawn and Colin are dipping back into some Jackie Chan by discussing the Kung-fu Cowboy team-up classic 'Shanghai Noon'.  We get into the gunslinging, drinking games, digging yourself out of sand with chopsticks, the action, the unnecessary villains and where this falls in Jackie Chan teams-up with an...

Send us Fan Mail It's time for a true classic, because this week, Shawn and Colin are taking a look at the all-time classic Citizen Kane. Wait... did you believe me there? Because you shouldn't have... that was a LIE! Which is fitting because this week, what we're REALLY discussing, is the Godfather. Nope. That's a lie too! You may have figured it out by now (in what I thought...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Shawn and Colin have decided to take on a big one... one that is roughly the size of Texas... the 25 year old action packed big asteroid popcorn flick 'Armageddon'. We discuss all the important topis like the stacked cast, the many mistakes, the breakneck pacing and the Michael Bay of it all. This is a movie that Shawn has seen a million times, but Colin is wa...

Send us Fan Mail This is an interesting week... Shawn and Colin are thrilled to welcome first time guest Raphael Xavier, who wanted to discuss a South African Kung Fu film we had never heard of called 'Kill And Kill Again'. Have you ever heard of it? Probably not. But before just passing by this episode, go look up the film. Shawn watched it on Tubi. Colin found it on YouTube. This movie...

Send us Fan Mail It's time! It's here! The granddaddy of them all! The King of the silly science month... or is it?

Send us Fan Mail As we continue to get scientific on the show because this week Shawn and summer co-host Aaron, take a look at the brainiac college antics of the 1985 classic 'Real Genius'. We discuss all things lasers and popcorn, of course, and amusement park entrances to secret underground lairs. We discuss inappropriate love stories and the charm of Val Kilmer. And we especially disc...

Send us Fan Mail Science month rolls on as Shawn and summer co-host Aaron Knowles move on to a classic that may not necessarily be familiar to people. The mad scientist-ish, brain surgeon comedy 'The Man With Two Brains'. This movie has a lot to unpack and we're here for every minute of it. Where do we fall on the movie and even the title itself? Tune in to find out! 5 Star reviews...

Send us Fan Mail Don't change the channel! This movie does that enough for us this week when Shawn and resident co-host Aaron take a look at the 1992 classic, 'Stay Tuned'. And now that you've seen the title, you're like "Wait a sec... that vaguely rings a bell..." Yeah. THAT Stay Tuned. John Ritter, the Devil, sucked into a TV. If you haven't seen it, go wa...

Send us Fan Mail Let's get to Mars for our final videogame movie because Shawn and Summer co-host Aaron are taking a look at the FPS Sci-fi classic 'Doom'. How can you go wrong with another planet, zombies, marines, BFGs, and a first person shooter scene to rival any others? Plus, The Rock, before he went by  Dwayne Johnson. Where does this fall overall in our videogame month opinio...

Send us Fan Mail Another week of videogame movies coming at you as Shawn and summer co-host Aaron take a good hard look at the martial arts pseudo-futuristic gangland classic 'Double Dragon'.  We try to figure out what is actually happening in this movie, take a good look at cultural appropriation, compare it to the game and admire it for what it tried to be. What did we think? Tune in t...
