Mid-Life Crisis Task Force

We watch a very low budget and somewhat incoherent film from 1979 called Psychotronic Man that's about an alcoholic barber who develops psychic powers for reasons we're not too clear on and the chaos that results. A bad, but thoroughly entertaining film.

The week after Chuck Norris passed, we watched one of his movies: Silent Rage from 1982. It wasn't very good. Unfortunately, audio issues cropped up during our discussion, which made the recording unusable. However, our commentary track was fine, so we're putting that up for your listening pleasure. I was unable to verify this synced properly with the movie, so it might require some fiddli...

An extremely sweaty and fight filled rip off of Terminator with bits of Bladerunner, The Warriors, and Mad Max thrown in for good measure. Stars Billy Blanks (of Tae Bo fame) and Bolo Yeung. If you're Gen X, you probably saw this on the shelf in the video store in the mid '90's.

Here' s us making fun of Venom! Watch on: Prime Tubi

No, not that Venom! This Venom stars Oliver Reed, Klaus Kinski, and Sterling Hayden. It has nothing to do with symbiotes , but is instead a hostage drama with the added complication of a poisonous snake loose in the building.

Come listen to us watch and make fun of Troll 2. Was the first watch for two of us.

Today we tackle one of the great cult b-movies of the last 20 odd years: Troll 2! A movie with no trolls, no actors, and some seriously over the top performances, which have to been seen to be believed. Maybe the most meme-able movie of all time. We apologize for the disjointed nature of this discussion. There are two reasons for this: 1) the movie we're discussing is Troll 2 and 2) our video...

Our first podcast of 2026 is a rip off of The Defiant One's set in the Philippines staring Pam Grier and Sid Haig. An underwhelming '70's exploitation film.

This movie doesn’t make a goddamn lick of sense! It’s about a maniac killing people dressed as Santa Claus on the streets in London. People continue to dress as Santa Claus/Father Christmas regardless, giving him plenty of victims to choose from. Went through three directors and a script rewrite and it shows! Stars no one you’ve heard of, although Caroline Munro does appear in one scene. No commen...

A pretty dumb, yet fast paced and entertaining "action" film from the late '80's. From the director that brought you Parole Violators and starring no one you've ever heard of. This one is a doozy, folks!

What happens when you watch a "scary" movie with a 2.7 rating on IMDB? Nothing scary, that's for sure.

For a change of pace, instead of watching a movie, we watched four short films from the 1950's. One was about IBM computers at the Roper Corporation. We learned about how to build a bomb shelter in your basement. We also learned how to make a disgusting 1950's sandwich and what to do in our leisure time. Commentary tracks for all these will be available shortly, as well as on our YouTube p...

We take on a Die Hard ripoff from the mid-90's starring Anna Nicole Smith and her boobies.

We discuss the two seminal Beatles records, Rubber Soul and Revolver, which marked a turning point in the band's sound and creativity.

One of many Italian Road Warrior rip-offs made in the mid-80's. This one has nothing going for it at all.

I recently watched Wes Anderson's new film "The Phoenician Scheme," which led us on a tangent about his movies and ideas for a superhero film. Discussion is already in progress when this recording starts.

Want to know how much of an impression this movie made? When I went to edit it, I couldn't remember the title or anything about it! Yet, somehow, we talked about it for over an hour! It's about aliens in a small town in Illinois and features some really odd cinematic choices.

This is presented "as is." Apparently, right after we watched this, the movie got pulled from YouTube and is not available on any streaming service I have access to, so I am unable to ensure that this syncs properly. So, if you have it a go, it might require some trial and error.

It's MLCTF vs The Village People! This "origin story" movie was released in 1980 at the tail end of the disco era. Stars Valerie Perrine, Caitlyn Jenner (still Bruce at the time), Steve Guttenberg, and, of course, The Village People themselves.

This week, we conduct another AI test. Same as before, we fed it some questions from a Pink Floyd song and got... interesting... answers.

Hopefully will get this on our YouTube channel synced with the video soon.

A generic mummy movie actually filmed in Egypt! Stars no one you'll recognize and features some of the worst acting in history. A real turd!

It's a little late, but here's our commentary/movie riff of Stephen King's magnum opus, Maximum Overdrive. Currently available on Tubi and Prime.

We watch and review the 1986 film Maximum Overdrive, written AND directed by Stephen King. There's a reason King isn't known as a director.

We welcome back Kathryn & Elizabeth from The Binary System Podcast for a discussion of Stephen King's book and Stanley Kubrick's movie, The Shining. Spoilers abound, so don't say we didn't warn you!
