The Editing Bay

With Bad Boys For Life cleaning up at the box office, we travel back to the early 2000s with this 2nd installment in an attempt to determine exactly when Michael Bay became a self-parody. Whatchyou gonna do when we come for you?

We’re late to the game here, but figured we’d throw our two cents in on the final film of the Skywalker Saga. This mini-ep was recorded prior to our year-end Eddy Awards, so apologies for the brevity and lack of focus.

While Bong Joon Ho’s latest film Parasite is grabbing award nominations left and right, we figured the time was right to revisit his dystopian last-train-on-earth flick from 2013. All aboard!

It’s our 6th annual end-of-year awards show, where we recognize great achievements in film and podcasting from our 2019 season! Find out who “won” in a dozen categories like Best Guilty Pleasure, Best Impersonation and Worst Film.

As we close the year and prepare for our 6th annual Eddy Awards, let's take a look back at some of our favorite recast segments from the 2019 season.

For our final holiday film, we do double duty by honoring the late John Witherspoon in this third film from the Friday trilogy.

While not explicitly a holiday movie, I posit that choirs singing and a few good laughs will help even the Grinchiest of hearts get into the Christmas spirit. Not so much the mob killings, though.

This week we kick off the holiday season with another Hulk Hogan joint, courtesy of Joe. This time the Hulkster is using his wraslin’ skills to save Christmas after a bout with amnesia leaves him believing he is Santa Claus. You can’t make this shit up.

Thanksgiving is upon us once again, and this year I’m thankful for not having to watch Adam Sandler in drag embarrass himself and screen legend Al Pacino. Oh, wait…what’s that?

Joel is out this week, but special guest Jason Cox joins Joe and Tes to talk about this 80’s gem.

It is renowned as a masterpiece by one of cinema’s greatest directors, and is still creeping out audiences with its chilling performances and disturbing tone. What more can be said of this Stephen King adaptation? Enough for us to fill 90 min, apparently.

Wrapping up our Halloween season for 2019, we do the time warp again to dissect this cult classic from 1975.

Continuing our werewolf theme for the Halloween season, Joe and Joel sink their teeth into this sophomore attempt at a Twilight movie. Did it improve on the original, or just mostly suck?

It’s our 300th episode, which we’re honoring by being super on the nose with our movie choice. If you love oily, half-naked men, slow-motion, and more blood than you can shake a computer-generated stick at, then you’ll love this historically-accurate retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae (aka Hot Gates).

It’s officially October, and that means Halloween season! This week we kick it off with this plodding tale of a man’s mid-life crisis and workplace woes. Oh, and did I mention he also transforms into a werewolf and murders a deer?

We’re days away from another actor playing Batman’s nemesis The Joker in a new film. With that in mind, we’re revisiting Jared Leto’s misguided attempt at portraying this beloved villain. But is he actually the worst part of a movie filled with awfulness?

We all know that movie adaptations of video games almost always result in Oscar-caliber films. So it might come as a surprise that this realization of an arcade classic doesn’t quite clear the hurdle. This week Joe and Joel take a round-kick to the face as we tackle Double Dragon.

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, so we’ve picked a “kids getting killed in cabins” flick. This one comes courtesy of the warped mind of Eli Roth, and turns out to be one of our most divisive episodes. Pancakes…PANCAKES!

Golden Globe winner Bob Hoskins and Academy Award winner Denzel Washington lend their talents to this deeply misguided film about a racist cop who is haunted by the ghost of the black man whose heart he inherited. Yes, you read that correctly.

Film adaptations of video games rarely please anyone, but when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is involved, all bets are off (unless that movie is Doom). This week we drop a few quarters into this 2018 popcorn flick to see if giant, mutated animals wreaking havoc on a major metropolitan city is as fun on screen as it was in arcades.

John Carpenter’s follow up to the cult classic Escape from New York is the very definition of "too little, too late.” We dissect what went wrong and simultaneously try to honor the late Peter Fonda, whose performance in this sequel is one of the few highlights.

Coming hot off the heels of the genre-redefining Scream, screenwriter Kevin Williamson tried to repeat history with this summer slasher. Joe and Joel peek behind the mask of this incomprehensible mess to determine what actually was done last summer.

This week we look back at the career of the late Rutger Hauer with this under-appreciated gem from 1989, where he plays a blind samurai of sorts who seems to find trouble wherever he goes.

To honor the passing of the great Rip Torn, we let our listeners choose the film for us to review this week. Thankfully they settled on this raunchy comedy from 2004, about a rag-tag team of average joes who are struggling to save their gym from foreclosure.

We unpack the latest movie news from SDCC and talk about the best and worst trailers that debuted (looking at you, Cats). Then we dive into a movie titled Serenity, but NOT the one based on the beloved sci-fi series. Is it a future cult-classic, or just a misguided mess?
