On today’s episode, we discuss a movie based off of one of the most popular video game franchises of the 90s.  A movie with a script that was so disposable that it was rewritten or thrown away daily on set and many of us still aren’t sure what the plot is.  JCVD did everything he could to tank the movie, while Raul Julia is quite possibly the only saving grace, despite being his last role prior to...

On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd.  A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs.  This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don’t belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that l...

Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us.  It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future.  Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other. HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2.  ...

On the exciting conclusion of May of Damon, we are discussing a cult classic that helped launch the poker boom of the early 2000s, inspired millions of dudes to think they could turn $100 into a Vegas bankroll, and gave us the most unhinged Oreo-eating villain of all time.  It’s Matt Damon playing a genius again, Ed Norton being a menace, and John Malkovich going full cartoon Russian mobster.
