Mid-Life Crisis Task Force

Commentary/Movie Riff of The Messenger (1986)

We watch a 1986 "gem" starring and directed by b-movie icon Fred Williamson. Co-starring Cameron Mitchell and a bunch of people you've never heard of, this confusing mess of a film is a standard revenge action piece set in Italy and the US.

Welcome to part 2 of our post holiday catch-up! In this episode, we discuss AI generated music, a handful of movies, rag on the Snow White remake, and discuss The Day the Clown Cried (bet you didn't see that coming!)

I asked ChatGPT some questions from a Pink Floyd song. It didn't go well.

For our first get together after the Holidays, we had an unscripted (i.e. rambling) discussion about whatever came to mind. Needless to say, it went on for awhile, so here's the first part where we discuss the movie Bad Boys, Sean Connery films, The Rock's Red One, our Christmas presents, Popeye, and more!

Our first time watching this stinker! Experience the "joy" of the season. Watch the movie along with this on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/YE302Ucp1ls?si=xU_epAv28bfpqSh9

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Since it the season, we picked a Christmas themed movie to review. It's 1989's Elves, which stars Grizzly Adams himself, Dan Haggerty, and no one else you've ever heard of. It's about Nazi's trying to breed a race of super elves. I wish I was making that up.

Our first reaction to watching the extravaganza that is Robowar!

For this episode, we watched Robowar, a Predator/Robocop mashup with a dash of Rambo thrown in for good measure. Starring Big McLargehuge himself, Reb Brown, and a bunch of other people you've never heard of. Features machine guns being fire indiscriminately, lots of walking in the jungle, and a robot with a chicken foot on its head.

Chris & Nate discuss the zombie horror crafting game 7 Days To Die and take a quick tangent into Stephen King books.

For our Halloween edition of Trash For the Masses, we watch and discuss an infamous Evil Dead ripoff from 1990 called Demon Wind. It stars no one you've ever heard of and it's main feature is confusion.

Tired of the hearing the same old spooky music at Halloween? We made a playlist of more obscure tracks to liven up your trick or treating!

For our latest deep dive into a good movie, HAP picked 2013's Coherence. It's about a group of friends at a dinner party who experience strange things when a comet passes over. SPOILER WARNING: It's not possible to discuss this film without spoiling it. Go watch it if you're curious, then come to hear us talk about it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2866360/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

We're back from a brief, illness induced hiatus with a review of another bad movie, Lucio Fulchi's 1983 barbarian "epic", Conquest. Stars one of the scientists from MST3K's Werewolf (Wahrwulf) and features lots of smoke and walking. Oh, and giant Yorkshire terriers and boobs!

A free form discussion of movies we've been watching, a rant about some stuff we haven't, a brief talk about music.

We have a discussion about which bad movies are good beginners for someone who might be curious about what to watch.

Welcome back to Trash for the Masses! This time we take on 1987's "Tough Guys Don't Dance", starring Ryan O'Neal, Isabella Rossellini, Wings Hauser, and Lawrence Tierney. It was written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winning author Norman Mailer, who should have stuck to writing. Words cannot describe the incomprehensible plot and awkward dialog in this film! Also the source...

Haven't had a chance to edit any of our recent recordings, so here's a classic episode from the first run of our podcast. It's from 2014 and we discuss then current events, celebrities in surprising roles, and review the Rudy Ray Moore magnum opus, The Human Tornado. This became the bad movie by which all other bad movies were judged!

We welcome back David Leninhawk for a discussion of Roman Polanski's classic neo-noir, Chinatown. Starring Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and John Huston, this story of murder and corruption and in 1930's Los Angeles won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.

Welcome to the conclusion of our The Hoff, Dudikoff, and the Paper Chase guy trilogy! Today, we watch and discuss Three Kinds of Heat, a 1987 turd from Cannon Films. Features Robert Ginty (The Paper Chase Guy, also the best actor in the film, believe it or not), two Doctor Who alums (Sylvester McCoy, the 7th Doctor, and Mary Tamm, the first Romana), one of the worst actresses we've ever seen i...

Nicholas Cage, Donald Pleasance, Lance Hendricksen. They're great actors, but they frequently appear in terrible movies.
