Parking Lot: The Podcast

I see you... Okay not really since this is an audio only program but you get it. Today we took a look back at one of the most successful films of nearly 15 years ago, Avatar. We were in what seemed to be the minority of people who disliked the movie so we weren't thrilled to get back to Pandora all these years later but here we are. And.. we've got thoughts. Grab your lifelike Na'vi doll and buckl...

It's the most wonderful time of the year! That's right! Its ICE AGE SEASON! We take you on a magical adventure through one of the best animated movies of all time *in some people's opinion* ... and then drag you through the shards of glass that are the sequels. We hope that our episode about this wacky series can bring you and your family together for the holidays. Merry Ice Age everyone! Scrat bl...

We're back with another entry to our Arnold series! Last time, we got to experience the thrill of being ERASED. This time, buckle up because we're taking you to SCHOOL! We get all the classic badass cop Arnold scenes as well as badass teacher Arnold shenanigans. Truly, what more could you ask for? As always, follow us on Twitter @ParkingLotCast to stay up to date, interact with us, and check out o...

At some dark point in human history, some people decided that you didn't need to put effort into writing original jokes to make a comedy movie. In their opinion, all you had to do was reference pop culture constantly, whether it made sense or not. So we were presented with a formula for the worst movies ever: take the plot of a recent popular movie, insert incredibly dumb characters played by C-li...

Here at Parking Lot: The Podcast, we have a long history and deep appreciation of sitcoms. We've done episodes on Roseanne and Boy Meets World and now its time to add another to the list. The two of us each watched Full House growing up but Kevin decided to subject himself to binge watching all 8 seasons of the show and taking notes just for us. This should show how dedicated we are to the fans. L...

We had a real doozy of a task in front of us this time. The sequel to Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, has finally come out and it's up to us to review it. We go over our thoughts on the Black Panther franchise as well as touching on a little of the real life issues surrounding it and then we go through our thoughts on the new movie. If you haven't gotten your fill of us talking about the MCU by th...

Happy Halloween(town) everyone! In honor of the spookiest night of the year, we're hitting you with our very last Halloweentown episode! You're probably thinking to yourself, "what's wrong with these guys? They've already done all four movies. They can't possibly have any more material!" And that's were you're DEAD WRONG. Through the power of a Parking Lot Pitch, we sat down and decided to become...

Last week we hit you with our episode on Halloweentown and Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge. What? You thought we were done!? We're just getting started, baby. Spooky season continues with our next installment of Halloweentown episodes, this time focusing on the third and fourth movies: Halloweentown High and Return to Halloweentown.

Truly the movie of a generation. Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy at the height of their careers giving us the pinnacle of cinema that is Wild Hogs. This movie truly changed the world when it rolled into theaters in 2007 and now we're bringing it back into the light all these years later and it has aged like a fine milk. We truly recommend everyone get incredibly drun...

Great Scott! It's finally time to hit you all with the Power of Love. Tonight's episode is all about one of our favorite movie franchises, Back to the Future! We're pretty huge fans of this series so we have a lot to say about each of the movies. How could you not love this series though? Its got action, adventure, a swaggy time-traveling DeLorean, Michael J. Fox, Christopher LLoyd, nostalgic time...

In this episode, we go on a journey through some of Kevin's favorite movies directed by a much more famous Kevin: Kevin Smith! With the debut of Clerks 3, we thought it was time to take a look back on Kevin Smith's other films as well as go through our thoughts on the newest addition to the Clerks franchise.  As always, follow us on Twitter @ParkingLotCast to stay up to date, interact with us, and...

It feels like its been a little while since we did one of our controversial opinion episodes so the universe hit us with a doozy. This episode is about the new hit horror movie, Barbarian. Spoiler alert: we do not talk positively about this movie in the slightest. Our show is the first negative take I've seen on it so far so I think it's safe to call this take a hot one.  Speaking of spoiler alert...

Remember that one movie you watched that one time like 15 years ago with that one plot and that crazy character? Ya that one. We have TONS of those. Usually, we pick a movie or franchise and watch it before we do an episode on it and we sometimes even take notes just to better prepare ourselves. This is the opposite. In this episode we decided to take a trip down memory lane and do our best to rec...

During a real-life flashback, we realized that it had been over a year since our last LOST episode. Since we know our fans are dying to hear more of our thoughts on this tv show we knew we had to rectify that problem. So we blew up an island. This episode, we pick up where we left off all those episodes ago with Lost Season 4 and Season 5. We've got flashforwards, flashbacks, flashsideways.. well...

Today, our episode focuses on Jurassic Shark 1 and 2. I have no way to prepare you for what these movies are. They are a horrifyingly beautiful mess and yet somehow amazing. They truly deserve to be placed up there with classics like Birdemic, Rubber, and Hard Ticket to Hawaii. Seriously, amazing bad movies all around. We do our best to describe these garbage piles and give you our thoughts on it...

"Yer a subscriber 'Arry!" "I'm a wot?" It's been a little while but here is the next installment in our series of episodes centered around theme parks! Today we cover Islands of Adventure *not to be confused with Adventure Islands*. Listen in as we're transported to a world of magic and moneygrubbing! Grab yourself a butterbeer and listen in to our thoughts on all the attractions that Universal ca...

Alright lets get this over with. We've gone through the hype and disappointment at the "soft reboot" that was Force Awakens. We've tried to piece together the intentions of The Last Jedi and the behind-the-scenes issues that made it the strange movie that it is. And now, we've finally made it to the crown jewel of this trilogy: The Rise of Skywalker. Spoiler alert: we hate it. So if you want to he...

We're finally doing our very first of our Arnold Schwarzenegger movie series and we chose Eraser to kick it off! Eraser has just about everything you could ask for in a classic Arnold movie. It's got high-tech weapons, ridiculous action and violence, over-the-top explosions, and of course it has AMAZING one-liners. Prepare yourself to become ERASED.   As always, follow us on Twitter @ParkingLotCas...

It's once again time for us to dive into the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe AND time for us to unleash an (apparently) unpopular opinion! Thor - Love and Thunder is  in theaters now so we decided to take a look at the previous three Thor movies and the character as he has appeared in the Avengers movies and then to give our thoughts on the newest addition to his franchise. This movie has e...

We're back baby! After a short, unintentional hiatus, we have returned to a series we all know and love to whine about: Star Wars! Tonight we make our way through the eight installment in the Skywalker Saga - The Last Jedi. Possibly the most divisive of all 9 entries into this series, we knew this was going to be a long one. If you loved all the nostalgia and retreading from Force Awakens, too bad...

Welcome, to Jurassic World (again)? A franchise 65 million years in the making returns to the big screen with Jurassic World: Dominion. The final(?) installment in the Jurassic World trilogy finds our modern day main characters joining up with the franchise's most iconic characters. Yes, by that I mean Lewis Dodgson and an old shaving cream can. We're going to talk our way through this movie and a...

The new Chip 'N Dale movie is out now on Disney+ and with the voice cast, writers/director, and that sweet, sweet nostalgia we couldn't pass it up. Whether you think the movie's goldmine of subtle and not-so-subtle references are a fun addition or low hanging fruit, if you were a fan of the original show you should definitely check this one out! I hope that one day our podcast can have an absolute...

Does it feel as if a thousand voices cried out in pain and agony and were suddenly silenced? If so, that's probably because once again we're doing a Star Wars episode! We've finally made it to the sequel trilogy and we start off strong going through our thoughts on the first in line, The Force Awakens. In what will probably be a theme for these three, this episode is about as long as the movie its...

Its FINALLY here! If you've been having strange visions involving listening to us ramble about the ridiculousness of a series of death-centric movies, this is your chance to try to cheat death and/or our podcast! That's right, we've gotten around to doing the Final Destination movies. We sat down and watched all FIVE of these things in an attempt to better understand human nature and the meaning o...
