Pick Six Movies

Welcome to the Season 22 finale of Pick Six Movies and we are unwrapping a little gift for ourselves – Child’s Play (2019) ! Is this the closest thing we’ve seen to a real movie this season?

All this and more on a brand new Pick Six Movies! 00:00:00 – 00:01:21 – Intro to the Show with Bo 00:01:22 – 00:24:53...

Well howdy! Happy Post-Thanksgiving and we here at Pick Six Movies are honoring this gluttonous holiday with the traditional crappy remake of a classic horror film. This time, we look at Robert Zombie’s Halloween as part of Season 22, a season we call Deja Ew. There are book-hungry doctors, jerk killers, and lots of head-scratching about who it is we’re supposed to care about in this movie. 00:00:...

Halloween may be over, but don’t tell Pick Six Movies that! We’re continuing Season 22’s look at horror remakes with A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).

Plus, hornstick! 00:00:00 – 00:02:41 – Welcome to the Show with Chad 00:02:42 – 00:18:37 – The...

Welcome to Pick Six Movies where every day is Friday the 13th ! At least for this episode, part of season 22, Deja Ew, in which we look at six not-so-classic remakes of horror classics.

It’s season opener time for Pick Six Movies, and we are kicking off Season 22, Deja Ew, with the miserable misfire of a remake, The Amityville Horror (2005) .

We talk about hard abs, soft reboot...

It’s season finale time once again here at P6 HQ, and we like to go out with a bang. Hold on to your butts, it’s the wildly inferior sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park . Why does the best character get killed so unceremoniously? Why on Earth did anyone think this was a good idea? And which characters could be completely cut from the movie with no discernible difference? Join us for answers to th...

Well… We do have fun talking about it! 00:00:00 – 00:01:45 – Welcome to...

As we reach the midpoint of the season, we ask ourselves, how boring can a Michael Crichton adaptation be? Well, have you seen Timeline ?

And… it’s all quite dull Join us as we journey back to 2003 for this time-tunnel stinker and ask ourselves how dumb were peop...

No season called Bomb’s Away! would be complete without a look at the just-awful R.I.P.D. How did this movie fail when all the ideas it stole work so well in other movies?

What happens when Disney takes a crack at adapting a seminal sci-fi fantasy series for the big screen? Why, John Carter , that’s what!
