Our third and final film for our dump month extravaganza is not great, but it felt like it could have been.

Existence is pain.

January is the dump month and what better way to celebrate it than by going on a wild ride with the king of the dump month, Liam Neeson.

Only fitting we talk about the sequel to the movie that inspired this podcast. This one hurt.

In anticipation of the latest Jumanji film, we decided to revisit a childhood classic.

Episode 78 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire 27.11.2019 48:36

We dive into one of Disney's biggest commercial failures and try to piece together the wreckage.

Episode 77 - Twins 20.11.2019 43:33

DeVito and Schwarzenegger had a choice between this and Suburban Commando. We think they made the right decision, their bank accounts certainly would agree.

Episode 76 - Bringing Out the Dead 13.11.2019 45:34

In anticipation of Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, we decided to roll the clock back and check out one of his lesser-known films and find out why it has been all but forgotten.

Episode 75 - The Beastmaster 08.11.2019 48:17

In the summer of 1982 two sword and sorcery films came out. One was an instant classic called Conan the Barbarian, the other was this mess...

Episode 74 - Candyman 30.10.2019 57:07

Year two of our spooktacular October series is punctuated by an underrated Horror movie classic, Candyman. Our only problem with this film is that we didn't watch it sooner.

Peter Jackon's attempt at making a Tim Burton film.

Episode 72 - Children of the Corn 16.10.2019 49:07

Year two of our spooktacular Halloween series continues with one of Stephen King's stories that have been adapted to film. What happens when a really cool horror concept gets a bad execution? This.

Episode 71 - Alien Resurrection 03.10.2019 55:07

Year two of our spooktacular Halloween series gets kicked off with some people might consider the worst Alien film in the series...okay most people.

Episode 70 - Beavis and Butthead Do America 12.09.2019 39:42

Underneath the pile of juvenile unapologetic humor is a well-placed snapshot of the culture and vibe of the 90s.

Episode 69 - The Matrix Revolutions 05.09.2019 48:45

Our follow-up episode to the follow-up film of the follow-up film of The Matrix. Why do we do this to ourselves?

Episode 68 - The Matrix Reloaded 28.08.2019 55:15

The Matrix reloads for a sequel to unleash a barrage of philosophy, CGI, and action. Sometimes it lands its shots, sometimes not, other times its firing blanks.

Episode 67 - Blood Work 22.08.2019 42:54

A potent story that lacks the energy and passion, much its main character, to stand out from the genre.

Episode 66 - Zardoz 14.08.2019 44:05

Is there more to this film than Sean Connery in a red diaper? Let's took a look.

Episode 65 - Harry and the Henderson 07.08.2019 37:32

This movie won an Oscar for exactly what you think.

Episode 64 - The Hateful Eight 03.08.2019 45:59

Quentin Tarintino's eight film may have a strong cast, snappy dialogue, and beautiful visuals, but it feels like it is just missing a little something...

Episode 63 - Nocturnal Animals 24.07.2019 38:55

A film that isn't for everyone, but certainly deserves attention. Something about Jake G and weird films.

Episode 62 - Alita: Battle Angel 17.07.2019 40:29

A fun popcorn flick that delivers on action, visuals, and world-building, but falls short of being anything other than just another hero's journey adapted to film.

Episode 61 - Commando 26.06.2019 56:35

A guilty pleasure of a film that we both cherish is guilty of many flaws, but it certainly is fun!

Episode 60 - The Heat 20.06.2019 39:43

We're lukewarm on this one.

Episode 59 - Dark City 12.06.2019 44:56

Before the Matrix, there was the cult classic, Dark City. The parallels between these two films are intriguing. We need to go deeper.
