Can a psychological thriller be wrapped up to look like a charming Christmas tale of fate, serendipity, and romance? Yes, it can, and it’s Dear Santa , the third of six made for the Lifetime TV network movies in this season’s theme “Once in a Lifetime.” This movie has snow plows, wedding rings, mail theft, New York in Canada, closeted straight men pretending to be gay, and the most devious charact...

Who would think an internet meme could make a great Christmas movie? Apparently nobody. And this movie proves it. Grumpy Cat is the sour puss that launched a million snarky memes and stars in her first and only movie, that was showcased on the Lifetime Network, landing in the #2 episode of the season’s theme “Once in a Lifetime” that features 6 Lifetime made for TV movies.

A Very Nutty Christmas kicks off season 14 with Melissa Joan Hart playing a former investment banker turned bakery owner in a small town who finds love over the holidays when a nutcracker comes to life. It’s a lot like the movie Elf only more terrible.

Pierce Brosnan stars in his final outing as 007 alongside Halle Berry in the 20th James Bond movie, 2002’s “Die Another Day”. This movie has ice lairs, space lasers, sword fights, invisible cars, high tech rings, laser watches, exploding planes and somehow manages to underwhelm. Dame Judy Dench and John Cleese show up to class up the place, but there’s a reason this was Brosnan’s final turn as the...

“License to Kill” finds Timothy Dalton as 007 heading to Mexico or Florida or the mythical land of Isthmus City to do battle with cocaine smugglers.

“Bonds. James Bonds.” is the theme for Season 13 featuring 6 Bond movies, each with a different actor portraying Ian Fleming’s most famous MI-6 spy. Sean Connery stars as 007 in “Goldfinger,” foiling the sinister plot of villain Auric Goldfinger, fighting the bowler hat-wearing henchman Oddjob, and the most memorable Bond girl ever – Pussy Galore.

“Fantasy Island” wraps up Season 12’s six movies all based on TV Shows. Michael Pena, Maggie Q & Lucy Hale headline this PG-13 Blumhouse Productions’ adaptation of the classic late 70’s and early 80’s ensemble television show. The movie is everything you loved about the TV show, only terrible and nothing really at all like the TV show. Join us as we make all your wildest dreams come true in a...

Dennis Miller and Angie Everheart headline the frightfully delightful and terribly campy “Tales from the Crypt presents: Bordello of Blood”. Everhart gives it her all and Dennis Miller couldn’t care less. But you are in luck because this episode is full of history behind the Tales from the Crypt comic books, an overdue Whoopi Goldberg impression plus Corey Feldman and someone who looks like, but i...

How do you make an updated version of a television show that is steeped in Southern culture, Confederate flags and all? That’s just one of the complicated questions this movie takes no pains to address. Instead, it’s a collection of Jackass-esque violence and flat jokes with a whiff of Jessica Simpson’s magical boobs. You know what? It’s easier if you just listen… ★ Support this podcast on Patreon...

Dan Aykroyd plays Joe Friday, the nephew of Joe Friday played by Jack Webb from the classic TV series “Dragnet”. This movie also stars American treasure Tom Hanks as the wise-cracking partner and American sleazeball Dabney Coleman as the smut-peddling pornographer. Harry Morgan, Christopher Plummer, and a cast of people that will make you say “Hey isn’t that the guy from that other thing?” Hop in...

Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh and Selma Hayek (for about 5 minutes) star in this big-screen adaptation of the 1960’s sci-fi western mashup of “The Wild Wild West”. It’s got gadgets and gizmos a plenty. It’s got racist and whatsits galore. You want angry lynching mobs? It’s got twenty. But who cares? No big deal. You want more? Then join us for episode 2 of this season’s theme “As Seen o...

“As Seen on TV” is the theme for Season 12 featuring 6 movies all inspired by television shows. Kicking things off is “The Avengers” movie that you’re not thinking about right now. This one stars Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman and Sean Connery in the big-screen adaptation of the 1960’s British spy series of the same name. There’s lethal weather and flying oversized robot hornets controlled by a cabal...

The season finale features Earth in the path of a giant space rock and a team of astronauts must risk their lives to destroy it to save all humanity. No, it’s not “Deep Impact”. It’s “Armageddon”. The one with Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck. And I think Morgan Freeman was the President? And I think Elijah Wood is Will Patton’s kid? We sort all this out as we wrap up season 11’s theme – “W...

Arnold is back in this sequel to T2 that ignores all other Terminator sequels that came before it. Skynet was destroyed but somehow the future is still full of time-traveling robots with a blood lust for future underground militant leaders. This movie plays all the hits, “I’ll Be Back”, “Come With Me if You Want to (Live)” and “(Gimme’ Your Clothes Cuz’) I Time Travel Naked”. It’s everything you w...

William Shatner stars in this 1977 classic monster movie about tarantulas taking over a small town in Arizona and then…the world? Can a drunken sheriff, drunken mayor and drunken veterinarian and big city college scientists defeat this toxic colony of big hairy arachnids? Well the answer is no, they can’t. The movie ends badly, but it’s a fun ride to get there. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Looking for the “Worst Dad Ever” in a movie? We have a contender. It’s Tom Cruise in Steven Spielberg’s 2005 remake of “War of the Worlds”.

Kicking off this season is 1995’s feel good hit of the year “Outbreak” where the monkey from the TV sitcom “Friends” shows up to infect a small town with a mystery illness that only Dustin Hoffman and his rag-tag gang of super-scientists can stop. It’s a race against time that takes for ever and passes the time with wild conjecture amidst highly unlikely coincidences. Join us as we kick off season...

“The Chase” screeches this season to a halt as we hit the highway with Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson and Josh Mostel and Henry Rollins and The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Elwes Brothers (Cary and Cassian) and even famed adult film hedgehog Ron Jeremy.
