Jason Statham is back to fight some more big sharks! This episode was recorded back in August after Dustin and Logan saw Meg 2: The Trench in theaters. That's right, they paid money to see this. Now, listen to them break it down as they sample the Oktoberfest Lager by Topling Goliath.

Dustin and Logan are diving into another Sharktoberfest with a new movie that combines mythology, corporate espionage, family drama, oil rigs and, of course, sharks! They watched 2023's the Black Demon, a movie that allegedly had a theatrical run and was a surprise hit on Amazon Prime. Josh Lucas stars in this fantasy/environmentalist thriller as an oil man that finds himself fighting a prehis...

Sharktoberfest is back! And this time, it's personal. That's why we're revisiting the 4th installment in the Jaws franchise, 1987's Jaws: The Revenge! A film that introduces shark revenge, telepathic links to said vengeful shark, and everyone's favorite aviator, Hoagie! Join Dustin and Logan as they watch the film (currently streaming on Netflix) and sample Great Lakes Brewing...

An excerpt from our Eight Legged Freaks episode teasing what's coming next for the QHE boys...

Logan and Dustin are wrapping up their Summer to Remember (in October) with the 2002 David Arquette vehicle, Eight Legged Freaks. A film that dares to ask what if Dewey from Scream had to fight giant spiders that act kinda like the gremlins from Gremlins? Dustin and Logan seem to try their hardest to not actually talk about the movie while also thinking way too hard about how to fix it. Have our h...

Dustin and Logan are finally getting around to the next installment of their Evil Dead series by covering the 1987 gonzo-horror-comedy masterpiece, Evil Dead II aka Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn. It's probably the most important film in the Evil Dead canon. It kinda remakes the first one, sets up the tone for the future, and fully forms the character of Ash Williams. Logan and Dustin get into all...

As Logan and Dustin's "Summer to Remember" winds down, they look at one of their favorite comedies from their youth. Saving Silverman is a goofball comedy about kidnapping, toxic romances, and Neil Diamond. Does it hold up? You'll have to listen to hear these two old friends analyze a silly movie and delve into the state of comedy films in the early 2000s.

Lost Episode #2 - Remember back in 2021 when Dustin and Logan were going to change the name of the show from Sharktoberfest the first time but then had to abort the whole thing because a show with that same name popped up right before they launched? No? Well, that's basically the gist of it. Anyway, this is the first episode of that cancelled podcast. This is episode #1 of Nielsen & Pixley...

Part 2 of our Throwback Throwdown on movies about doing a Die Hard in the White House. We've seen how Chananning Tatum does a Die Hard, now it's time to watch Gerard Butler do a Die Hard. We take a dip into the Aaron Eckhart Abyss™ to break down Olympus Has Fallen. And we do it while sipping on Lark Brewing's American AF Ale because we are patriots! Antoine Fuqua assembled a team of tr...

It's that time again...time for another THROWBACK THROWDOWN!!! It's where we have two very similar movies that were released in the same year face off in a head-to-head cinematic battle. This time around we are reaching back to 2013 when, for some reason, Hollywood made two different movies Die Hard ripoffs set in Washington D.C. - White House Down vs. Olympus Has Fallen! For this first in...

We're kicking off our "Summer to Remember" theme which is all about movies that make you go, "oh yeah, that did exist." To start it off we're going with the 1993 bomb Freaked, co-written, co-directed, and starring Alex Winter of Bill & Ted fame. It's an over-the-top comedy about an actor turned into a mutant and trapped in freak show and it's a gosh darn del...

Lost Episode #1 - This summer we'll be releasing all of our "lost episodes" aka "long recordings that we never took the time to edit". This first one was recorded in 2021 when the show was still called Sharktoberfest. Not only do we tackle the 1985 smash hit, capital-c Classic, Back to the Future , but we also attempt to create our own signature drink that pays homage to th...

We told you in our Evil Dead Rise review that we wanted to revisit earlier Evil Dead films and here we are making good on our threat! This is a freewheeling chat about the original 1981 classic as well as the 2013 "reimagining". We compare and contrast the two and talk about what makes an Evil Dead film work. We also sip on some Surly Darkness, Logan fulfills a promise from a previous ep...

We're back and trying something a little different! We watched several shark movie trailers and decided to talk about them. "Visionary" "director" of The Room, Tommy Wisseau has decided to dip his toes into the shark infested water for his next "film". We do a deep dive into the trailer/underwear commercial for Big Shark! Then, we do a fresh watch of a movie we ar...

Dustin and Logan actually left the safety of their homes and ventured into a movie theater to see the latest entry into the Evil Dead franchise. Evil Dead Rise is Evil Dead but in an apartment building. That's the elevator pitch. Oh and there's an elevator in it! This episode is already coming together nicely. Groovy. Spoilers start around 33:20 Skip to 1:20:50 to avoid spoilers but hear o...

We've seeded the bracket. We've held the competition. Now, it's time to see who is the winner of our Jurassic March Madness bracket and get to pick a movie for us to watch for the pod. But the twists are still coming, because there's been a tie! So Dustin and Logan must determine the winner...and talk about some other bullsh*t because this is QHE after all. Strap in for the excitin...

Here it is. The last of this. We've gone on a journey and ended up here at the season 1 finale of the hit, record-breaking HBO program, the Last of Us. Dustin and Logan review the episode and discuss if the show stuck the landing in their eyes. They also do a short retrospective of the show to pick their favorite episodes and predict what might be coming in season 2. Timecodes 4:20 - Episode 9...

Ahead of the season one finale, we are covering two semi-standalone episodes. One is primarily a flashback and one is maybe the darkest chapter yet. Both reveal a lot about our main characters. And things get even darker on the show as Logan shares more of his Last of Us/John Mellencamp song parody. Harrowing. Timecodes: Episode 7 - 8:50 Episode 8 - 31:50 Follow us on Instagram @qhepod or send us...

Beast is the 2022 film in which Idris Elba fights a lion. That's really all we have to say. We break down this film that splits its time between South Africa and the uncanny valley. We also do a proper special features section where we get into research on lions vs. tigers, the Tsavo man-eater lions (The Ghost in the Darkness), and the infamous nature snuff film, Roar. We also debate which big cat...

Joel and his brother Tommy are reunited in an emotional episode of the Last of Us that now has Logan fully on board with the series. Full disclosure, we had just recorded a silly episode right before this (coming next week!) so we are pretty cranked up throughout the episode.  But what can we say? We were psyched. Psyched on the emotional core of the episode, psyched on what they changed and...

We're taking a dark and bloody tour of Kansas City as we talk about the 4th and 5th episodes of HBO's the Last of Us! As Joel and Ellie make their way through Cowtown, they encounter new enemies and some friends. Will they survive their detour through the City of Fountains or will they perish in the Paris of the Plains? Did I google these nicknames for KC? Yes. Yes I did. Follow us on Instagram @q...

The boys are riding out the end of winter by sipping on some scotch and snuggling up with a comfy film about a paranoid group of fellas that discover a flesh absorbing, human mimicking alien that just might end all of humanity. It's John Carpenter's the Thing! A film that underperformed at the box office and was critically panned by critics upon its 1982 release but has since gone on to be conside...

The third episode of the Last of Us is getting a lot of talk, both for its story and for being the first major deviation from the video game. Dustin and Logan break down the episode title "Long, Long Time" and talk about how it changed the the story of game character Bill. Also, Logan has a little surprise for Dustin...
