It's part two of our Throwback Throwdown of Deep Impact vs. Armageddon! While Deep Impact was a pensive meditation on how the world would react to a meteor heading toward Earth to wipeout humanity, Armageddon is a nonstop, breakneck Aerosmith music video that leaves no breathing room for the viewer and needs to blow something up every ten minutes just to calm the shakes. It's Michael Bay's most Mi...

We warned you! We are both massive fans of the the Last of Us video games and have been looking forward to HBO's adaptation since they announced it. Well, it's finally here and we are going to cover it in installments throughout the season. And we promise to not spoil anything from the game! We're only going to chat about the events of the series as they unfold. For this first installment, we're d...

Two big movies about an asteroid heading towards Earth came out in 1998 and we are having them face off in what we are calling Throwback Throwdown: Deep Impact vs. Armageddon! These two apocalyptic blockbusters will be reviewed in back-to-back episodes and we will determine which one was the better way to destroy our planet. This first episode is all about Deep Impact, a movie filled with politica...

We're kicking off the new year by covering one of last year's wide releases that is fresh to Netflix: Bullet Train. It's a movie that asks "what if Smokin' Aces but on a choo choo?" Then, we also look ahead at some of the movies coming out in 2023 that pique our interest.

Rounding out our holiday double-header is a movie that raises a couple interesting questions: Can Santa Claus be sexy and is he responsible for all history's most deadly conflicts? We sip on some Baileys Irish Cream and try to sort out what this silver-fox Santa has done to humanity. What we do know is that Kurt Russell is having a great time playing Santa. We also talk about Midnight Run, Steven...

We're kicking off a couple of holiday themed episodes by covering a Christmas-themed horror comedy that manages to check all the boxes and thread all the needles! Krampus is coming to town and he's got his sights set on Adam Scott, Toni Collette, and a bunch of children. We (Dustin and Logan) are sipping on some festive drinks to keep us warm as we watch the yuletide chaos unfold. We taste a littl...

An old friend from the past returns and a new adventure begins... also we talk about a movie. Oh, and we've renamed the show. Sorry. Kinda buried the lede there. Things have been confusing since we got left in this alternate dimension. But the show must go on! On this "inaugural" episode of Quality Home Entertainment with Logan Nielsen and Dustin Pixley , we focus on Everything Everywhere All at O...

And so ends another Sharktoberfest. To finish off a particularly batty season, Dustin and Logan are getting conceptual as they outline and cast what they think a Jaws 5 would be, IF all the existing Jaws movies are canon. It's quite the endeavor to take on as they retread what happened in the franchise so far, decide where the characters would be 35 years after the last film, and what would bring...

Every now and then, a shark's gotta go ROGUE!!! That's right, it's time for the annual rogue episode where Dustin and Logan skip a shark movie and explore some other waters. Basically, like the episodes from the rest of the year. (Also, Sharktoberfest has been stretched into November. This whole conceit has maybe gotten out of hand.) Anyway, what better way to go rogue than by bringing in podcast...

For the first time, Dustin and Logan are doing a special Sharktoberfest/Halloween crossover episode by watching a movie where a zombie fights a shark. And this ain't no CG nonsense. This is a man in full zombie makeup, underwater, wrestling a real dang shark. That's the kind of stuff they were doing in Italy in the 70s. Zombie, aka Zombi 2- the movie so nice they named it twice- is a cult hit from...

Instead of torturing themselves with a shark movie, Dustin & Logan are shaking it up with freewheeling conversation about a few different topics in an episode they're calling SharkTopicFest! Don't worry though. They're not straying too far and still sampling an Oktoberfest beer. Firestone & Walker's Oaktoberfest keeps them company as they rank they're favorite sharks, discuss which bad sha...

Logan & Dustin are still getting into the swing of Sharktoberfest. Sadly, this episode's beer Hold My Pretzel by Single Speed Brewing isn't quite helping to set the tone. The film however takes things in an interesting direction as it asks the question, "what if Freddy Krueger was a shark?" The SYFY original film, Nightmare Shark is a dream hopping thriller starring the Rookie of the Year, a g...

Sharktoberfest 3 gets off to a rocky start with a shark movie starring Stephen Baldwin and an egregious amount of stock footage. Shark in Venice is an Indiana Jones-like treasure hunting adventure where nothing exciting happens and no part of it was actually shot in Venice. Oh, and there's sharks, too. Luckily, Logan and Dustin have Dimensional Brewing's Gordonfest to keep them company as they att...

It's that magical time of year again when our hosts watch shark movies and sample Oktoberfest beers and test their sanity! Welcome to the third annual Sharktoberfest! To kick things off, Dustin and Logan are watching the unattainable standard of shark movies and arguably one of the greatest films in cinema history, Jaws! Paired with this master work is another high watermark in the show's canon, S...

The boys are trying something different and talking about the recently dropped teaser for HBO's adaptation of the Last of Us, Dustin and Logan's favorite video game. Does it look any good? Are they excited? Is this anything? Better listen to find out. Link to the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBRRDpQ0yc0&t=1s

Logan and Dustin are back with another episode of One & Done, the show where they talk about a television series that only lasted for a single season and they only have time it takes for them to finish a single drink. They're cheating a little bit by covering the Netflix limited series, Midnight Mass, but they make the rules, so...oh well. They do a deep dive of what they liked about the show...

The boys are trying something different as they talk about two different franchises with big installments this year: Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Stranger Things season 4 . Both are about alternate dimensions, young girls with super powers, and general fan service. Dustin and Logan tackle them in separate sections (time codes below) and sample Goose Island's Neon Beer Hug IPA. Loga...

It's the official end of Sharktoberfest's big, hot, nasty, sopping wet summer and the sharks and heat are colliding with Robert Rodriguez's The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D! Dustin and Logan sip on some Arnold Palmer Spiked as they try to figure out how the hell to even talk about this kids' movie where everything might be dream but also maybe nothing is. It's confusing. They also su...

Logan is in fact a stand up comedian and has some shows coming up. It would be ideal if people came to them. Ticket links below! Sept. 9th & 10th - Goonie's Comedy Club - Rochester, MN http://gooniescomedy.com/ Sept. 17th - Music Man Squate - Mason City, IA https://checkout.square.site/buy/CXE6WABUD25BWH2EG3WVPQDE Last episodes of the hot, wet summer coming out this week!

Dustin and Logan have watched some movies that involve volcanoes, but now they're watching a documentary ABOUT volcanoes...kind of. They watch Werner Herzog's Into the Inferno, a film about the role volcanoes play in certain cultures, including being the home of a volcano god that seems to just be some guy. The eccentric writer/director/narrator himself stops by to tell the boys how pointless ever...

We warned you that this was gonna be a super hot and wet summer. Logan and Dustin ogle some big sweaty hunks as they discuss the Steven Soderbergh film, Magic Mike; starring Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, and a bunch of other meat boys. They drink some Camp Shandy Shore Lemon from Topling Goliath and chase that with some Mike's Hard Lemonade (do you get it?). And then in the Special Features...

Here's the bonus features segment from the White Fire episode that was cut since walking through the movie was exhausting enough. Logan & Dustin decided to just recommend a few heist movies that had actual heists in them and didn't focus on the main character wanting to date their sister (listen to the full episode for context).

The steamy summer continues with White Fire, a heist movie that is sort of about a diamond that burns to the touch, but mostly about an incredibly uncomfortable romance plot. And all earthly laws are thrown out the window because Dustin and Logan are drinking White Claws! The boys grapple with their feelings on hard seltzers while grappling with a gross and utterly confusing film. Hang on for dear...

Dustin & Logan are returning to familiar waters with a ridiculous shark movie! Sand Sharks came out in 2012 but all the characters are social-distancing like it was 2020. It also refreshingly rips off a few different movies that have been covered on this very pod. And speaking of water, the boys sample a beer made with cactus water that has a needlessly convoluted name: Shiner's TexHex Bruja's...

Logan and Dustin are continuing their wet hot summer by watching Wet Hot American Summer! And joining them for this absurdist summer camp comedy are past guests and friends of the show, Caleb Woodley and Steve Wunderlich ! These four fellas talk about what makes this comedy work so well and invent their own summer camps. Watch along to simulate your own summer sleepover! *To sync with the movie, p...
