It's the piece of technology that was better than any other format when it was released, but it never really caught on with the majority of the public: follow the journey of the LaserDisc! (Also known as DiscoVision!)

Crack open that Bud Light and join your surrogate stepdads as they discuss their favorite Hitchcockian comedies and what new movies, TV shows, and video games they've been enjoying!

Written by Robbie Fox (with uncredited re-writes from Mike Myers and Neil Mullarkey). Directed by Tommy Schlamme. Star...

What if you couldn't touch the ground? What if you wanted to play a grown up version of the ground is lava? What if you threw in Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Michael Gross, Reba McEntire, and Finn Carter? You'd get Tremors, the little movie that could (and spawned six sequels).

It's the Beatles movie that didn't have the Beatles in it, but instead, Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees. It's a weird cult masterpiece that needs more attention. It's got Earth Wind & Fire, and Steve Martin, and Alice Cooper, and Aerosmith, and George Burns, and Stargard, and just about everyone that was even somewhat popular in the late '70s. This may be the most Gen X mov...

It started as a way to cash in on the Roller Disco craze, but no one told them that NO ONE WANTED A ROLLER DISCO MOVIE. It is more than that, and the soundtrack is BANGING, by ELO and Olivia Newton-John. Join us as we explore the fantasy musical, Xanadu!

In this episode, we cover one of the greatest movies of all time (and perhaps Francis Ford Coppola's best film [yes, we said it]), The Conversation. It's our second movie during our Gene Hackmonth and perhaps Hackman's greatest performance.
