The slugs learn to keep their friends close, but maybe keep JCVD at arms length when he's playing a cracked-out villainous vegan who is riffing on Caesar Romero's version of the Joker.

Nearly 2 years and 100 episodes deep, the Slugs look back and appreciate the movies they watched with a set of extremely subjective awards... including the award for Best Direct to Video Action Movie: Accident Man.

If it bleeds, and it didn't have theatrical release, we can watch it. The slugs watch Amber Midthunder as Naru, a young Comanche hunter who goes toe-toe-giant-toe against a Predator against the backdrop of the 18th century American west. It's a must watch.

Bingo . The slugs face down what might be the raunchiest, schlockiest direct-to-video movie ever made, Amir Shervan's cult classic, Samurai Cop .

We have a very deep dive into the origins of role-playing games, the satanic panic that pilloried Dungeons and Dragons, and why this movie is so ineffective at making its points. Sho...

Ryan is on a field trip to Los Angeles. Scott fills in. We wanted to watch a movie about a house filled with tigers, but there was nary a tiger, house-bound or otherwise, in Tiger House.

So basically they played themselves in this highly watchable dark comedy heist that is more action-adjacent. Do yo...

The Slugs get out of their comfort zone and tackle a riveting hostage negotiation action thriller set in the apartheid oppression of South Africa in 1980.

Do...
