Movie Chumps

The craziest movie ending of all time? Hard to top Seven. It's also hard to top David Fincher's ability to create tension, mood, and his overall methodical layout of this murder mystery. We delve into the alternative endings the creators toyed with, that top notch chase scene, Brad Pitt's controversial performance in the film's finale, and whether or not viewers should have known Gwyneth Paltrow's...

The one-two punch of Russell Crowe and Christian Bale SIZZLES! Luke & Corrye recap this rollicking romp through the Wild West, with a treasure trove of character actors...and an inspiring James Mangold in the director's seat. Plus: Ben Foster's psychopathic henchman!

Luke says they couldn't stick the landing. Corrye says the film never got out of the 1st inning. Pick your favorite "the film crapped the bed" sports analogy, and join the Chumps as they break down the little that worked in this Sci-Fi Thriller, and the lot that didn't. Plus, we pay homage to Wilford Brimley.

It's on our Mt. Rushmore of comedies. The comparisons to Dumb & Dumber. The scene-stealing mischief of John C. Reilly and Adam Scott. The Catalina Wine Mixer. Corrye's favorite sequence (not the drum scene). That unique origin story of Brennan & Dale's parents. Lots to cover.

Where were the extra police needed for the missing girls search? Just Jake Gyllenhaal on the case? What would YOU do in Hugh Jackman's shoes? Aunt Holly seems like the obvious villain in retrospect, so how did we forget about her? We adore this thriller, but there's questions. Lots of 'em.

Space enthusiast Mike Pagano joins Luke & Corrye for their romp through The Martian. Luke stumps the guys in the 5 Questions segment, before Mike riffs on everything from the space race to Mars to the one strip of dialogue that encapsulates both the film AND the brotherhood of scientists shooting for the stars.

Showgirls. Battlefield Earth. The Perils of Gwendoline and the Land of Yik Yak. Those are just a few of the schlock-fests Luke and Corrye rip apart. But they're not all B-movies. Expect some big Oscar winners. We also salute the late film critic Jack Garner.

While Luke struggles to make sense of some of the X-Men/Wolverine backstory, Corrye is at his most eloquent, highlighting why this "superhero film" is a beautiful drama that earns it's place in the pantheon of comic book movies. Plus, Luke makes Corrye struggle through his "5 Questions" choices.

A murder mystery to rival Clue and all those Agatha Christie classics. Rian Johnson hits a whopper of a home run, and Corrye & Luke praise his screenplay and direction to high heaven. The duo also examines the intricate plot, the film's nod to Twitter culture, and salutes the throw-up plot device.

Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton, Tim Burton, and Richard Donner set the tone for the onslaught of superhero movies that would arrive in theaters decades later. Luke & Corrye pluck out the winners (Danny Elfman!) and losers (Marlon Brando) while analyzing these two modern classics.

Deliverance meets Platoon? Not exactly. Luke overhypes the 1981 bayou thrill ride with Powers Booth and famous "that guy" Brion James. Corrye agrees its memorable, but isn't so hot on the overall product.

Corrye said it best: it's not a movie about redemption. It's about healing. The boys reflect on Ben Affleck's powerful performance (and overacting); what the film does that other basketball films DIDN'T do; and point out the sports cliches the film avoided.

Charlie Sheen's death scene acting: horrific. But Jack Palance's was just as bad. Corrye and Luke dissect these Young Guns scenes, and trade wisecracks on everything from Tom Cruise's cameo to the suitcase escape by Emilio Estevez.

"I am...THE LAW!" Judge Dredd is a smorgasbord of Stallone-isms. The 2012 remake takes a dark detour from the original. Luke & Corrye delve into both films. They trade likes and dislikes, discuss the Catch 22 of Rob Schneider's performance, and explain their 1st big disagreement (it's over Lena Headey's character). Expect an explosive Christopher Walken impression, too!

Schwarzenegger's Conan the Barbarian isn't a cult classic. It's a classic, period. Luke and Corrye shower their appreciation on everything from Conan's mom, to the pulsating score, to the corniest death, as well as that silly witch scene. Oh yeah: we've got impressions, too.

What's the best training montage? What's the deal with the Carl Weathers/Dolph Lundgren beef on set? How did that giant robot make it into the film? Luke & Corrye answer some age-old questions.

Two masterclasses in suspense! Luke & Corrye wax philosophical on the first two Alien films and why they still hold up extremely well decades later. The duo also trades likes and dislikes from episodes 3 & 4 of The Last Dance.

Luke and Corrye recap the first two episodes of The Last Dance before praising the underrated Timothy Dalton James Bond films.

Corrye and Luke flip the script this time around. Forget one specific movie. The duo tackles earliest memories at the theater, their first R-rated film on the big screen, the movies they walked out of, and the films where they struggled to hold back tears.

It's the film that put Van Damme on the map! We explore the '80s-style montages, the quirky fighters, Hong Kong, the stereotypes, and the badassery of main villain Chong Li.

The Chumps rank the opening sequences in the saga, question whether Temple of Doom is the Super Mario 2 of the series, and try to determine what makes Sallah the "best digger in Egypt."

Is The Shawshank Redemption a perfect film? Yes, indeed. Corrye Cook returns to the pod to explain why, as we explore the movie's Buffalo connection, quote Warden Norton, and hail director Frank Darabont for his 1,000 brilliant decisions.

It's not as controversial as The Last Jedi, but fans are split over Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Luke and Corrye trade thoughts on what they liked, loved and what they felt HURT the film AND the new trilogy.
