Streaming Wasteland

This week, we're taking on a movie that sounds like it's about incontinence, but instead is about a hitman! Listen in as we follow Scott Adkin's journey to avenge his ex-girlfriend amid a mountain of narration.

Enough with the romance, it's action time! We've got Bruce Willis! We've got Devin Sawa! We've got... the boringest chase scene ever made? Check out our review of 2022's Gasoline Alley!

Holy cow! A good rom com? Did we actually find one of the good ones? I Want You Back might be just what the romantic genre needed, a break away from the raunchy "romcoms" of the 2010s and the sappy "romcoms" of the hallmark and lifetime channel. Listen in and hear our take!

Hey there Wastelanders! This week, we were persuaded to take a look at Netflix's 2022 adaptation of Jane Austen's classic love story, Persuasion! Were we persuaded to fall in love? Do we find Captain Wentworth dreamy? Did one of us read the book before watching the movie? Listen in and find out!

Another week, another Netflix "comedy." This one stars Adam Devine as the character that Adam Devine always plays, and we're thrilled about it. Tune in to hear us try to figure out what the point of this movie was in this episode of Streaming Wasteland.

Don't listen to the title! You'll want us unmuted for this episode. We're looking at Mute, starring Paul Rudd as a very non-Paul-Rudd character, and it's weird. Listen in to see what we think! Let us know what you think of this version of the future!

This week, we're looking at Black Box, a movie that surprisingly has nothing to do with airplanes! Listen in as we try to figure out if we liked this one. Was it too Black Mirror? Did it do enough to appease our "uhm technically" nature? Only one way to find out!

You ever watch a movie and you're not sure if you get it? Us too. We're not 100% sure we understood this one but we definitely had some opinions on it! Listen in to hear us talk about Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future!

Happy New Year! What better way to start 2024 off than with Thunder Force, a "comedy" about super heroes and super villains, with some raw chicken eating and crustacean love thrown in there? Hope you love Urkel impressions and the Super Bowl shuffle!

We made it! Happy Holidays! To wrap up this smorgasborg of terrible movies, we took a look at the most unnecessary movie yet! This time, the three V-Hudges need to pull of a heist because why not? Hear us try to recover our own star of peace in this Christmas Finale.

We couldn't get enough, apparently! For Day 11 we bring you part two of the Vanessa Hudgens saga! This time, we get a third character, a couple new supporting cast members, and two reviewers developing ulcers from watching this. We also talk Rebel Moon!

As we near the conclusion of our 12 day spectacular, we take a look at 2018's the Princess Switch, a movie in which an actress plays two roles and two reviewers try to survive. Listen along to find out one of our TRUE feelings about Christmas.

Have you ever heard that George Michael song and thought, "Man, what if someone gave a literal heart?" Well that's what this movie is about. Also, ghosts, but not the cool Dickens kind. Listen to us debate whether or not this movie needed to be a christmas movie or if it could have stood alone in today's episode!

Today we're looking at the other Hallmark movie on our list, suggested by a fan. Snow Globe Christmas tells the story of a woman who is bonked in the head and wakes up in a snow globe in this take on It's a Wonderful Life meets generic holiday glurge. Come listen to our pitch for this one as a horror movie! Also, Turk is in this movie.

Hallmark finally got us. Listen in to our first (but not last) review of a TV movie that actually... isn't bad? Are we going soft in our old age? Has the relentless cheer of the holiday season finally worn us down? Or was this just an actually funny movie? Listen in and find out.

Hey, it's Eddie Murphy in a Christmas movie! Come listen in as we discuss a surprisingly decent and fun holiday tale of a man who is DESPERATE to win the Candy Cane Lane lighting competition, and the evil elf that ensares him along the way.

Our 12 days of Christmas continues, this time with 5 golden rings, but woven together into one chainmail shirt, as we take on the Knight Before Christmas. How will a time-traveling Edwardian Knight fare in the modern world? Will Stacy ever tell him to stop bringing his sword to diners? Can we find the link between Christmas and chivalry? Find out in today's episode!

Today, we have a reboot of the 1990 classic. Home Sweet Home Alone answers questions like "Should the wet bandits have had a sympathetic backstory" and "what if we actually ROOTED for the wet bandits to get Kevin?" Why did they do this? Why's the sky blue? How's the positrac rear-end on a plymouth work? They just do. Listen in and hear our thoughts on this love letter to capitalism. Drop us a line...

Well howdy there Wastelanders! Today, instead of three French Hens, we're bringing you one bad movie. 2022's I believe in Santa genuinely made us question how low the bar is to get a script approved by Netflix. It also sheds light on a marginalized community- adult Santa believers. Truly one of the most bananas movies we've ever seen, you'll have to listen along to hear us struggle to find the goo...

It's Day 2 of the twelve days of Christmas, and instead of two turtle doves, we brought you the second California Christmas movie. Hey, have you ever thought that commuting was a relationship death sentence? If so, you're a protagonist of this movie. Listen in to see what we have to say about the continuing story of Callie and Joe in one of the most unnecessary sequels ever made! Let us know what...

That's right, we're doing twelve back to back to back (etc) days of Christmas movies, starting with "A California Christmas." Does Greg think this movie represents California?

This week, Greg and Ringo take on A Castle for Christmas! Watch Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes read lines to the best of their ability as we watch the actors wander around a drafty castle in a movie where we both agree that the dog was one of the best characters!

Ho ho ho! It's the holiday season, and what better way to kick that off then with some good ol' fashioned violence? This week we're looking at 2022's Violent Night!
