The Good, The Bad, and The Movies

You've seen it before... The combo of Seth Rogen and James Franco doing what they do best! Getting high and eating lots of food in movies. In this week's episode of "Writer's Block", we explore an idea where two friends find that they are capable of eating a lot of food when they are high on marijuana, so much so, that they decide to enter eating competitions and compete while high. Additionally,...

Get ready to enter the Danger Zone. With the sequel coming out later this week, in this week's episode, we take on an 80's classic in "Top Gun". Without Devon, Brandon and Lukas dive into what can make or break an action movie, and how to balance the action with other aspects. With a fan favorite 80's classic, it will be important for us to decide if we actually think Top Gun is good, or if our ju...

Wow it has been a while! We were so busy last week and then took some huge naps, that we missed last week's episode. But we are back this week and greatly refreshed. In a change of pace, we have no scripts for you in this week's episode of "Writer's Block", but rather some informal, blue collar, working class ideas for "The Hoarder" had we written scripts. Additionally, we get another classic West...

It'sa Me! Mario! And thisa week, we watched the 1993 live action video game adaptation of "Super Mario Bros.". Buckle in as we dive into Brooklyn and an alternate dimension full of dinosaurs, street crime, and fungus in order to save princess Daisy. Yes! You read that correctly. Not saving Princess Peach, but Daisy instead. Along the way we encounter 'creative interpretations' of Goombas, Yoshi, K...

Finally! We have a long awaited guest joining us on the show. In this episode, we welcome Brandon's little brother, Carter, for them to review a movie that they frankly watched too many times and at too young of an age. Without Devon, the three of us dive into the "Happy Madison Production" company filmography and take a stab at a non-traditional Adam Sandler film, "Little Nicky". In this movie, S...

After 5 weeks of some more playful scripts, it is time for Brandon to get deep again. In this week's episode of "Writer's Block", we create the story of an elderly man who is a hoarder and suffers from dementia. He lost his wife over a decade ago and has trouble remembering his time with her, until it is time for him to move out of his house and clean up the mess inside. As he cleans, he uncovers...

This week it's a Lukas Choice (ding ding ding ding ding)! It's time for a childhood classic! We lost Devon due to him being super busy and not caring about our feelings one bit. And then we had to make a last minute change to our movie, so we landed on "Spy Kids". In this episode, we dive into the world of retired spies being captured by an evil villain, and their kids starting their journeys as s...

IT'S TIME! Everyone gather round for the main event, where the popular athlete dog "Air Bud" enters the world of mixed martial arts and tries to claim the belt as the best fighter. In this week's episode of "Writer's Block", we are back for the second dog themed movie idea in a row, and we bring Air Bud to life and put him smack dab into the UFC octagon. Also, you get to hear some alien, Miami, do...

Are you a fan of Korean cinema? Well whether you answer yes or no, it shouldn't really matter, as this Korean film is very Americanized. This week, we watched the CGI filled, story ridden, "Dragon Wars". In this episode, we dive deep into the ideas of Imoogis, the Yuh Yi Joo, and utilitarianism. Just how much money did this movie go over budget? Why are the political views of Godzilla being discus...

Welcome to the crazy mind of Marina, where she obviously envisions a movie idea that includes her dogs as the lead characters, as well as incorporating aliens and the Bermuda Triangle. She also has some wishes: any main human characters in the movie have to be hot (specifically ones she finds hot), so we all know her first love Josh Hutcherson is going to be in this film. In addition to this movie...

What happens when you mix religion and dinosaurs? You get the VelociPastor. In this B-movie, we watch our hero take on ninjas and evil with the help of a sex worker and a hidden power granted to him to turn into a dinosaur. Yeah, you read that plot right. This is the exact kind of movie that we here at TGTBTM like to watch from time to time to show us a true dichotomy in film making. How did someo...

FINALLY! The moment you have all been waiting for... on this week's episode of "Writer's Block", Lukas unveils the long-awaited masterpiece that is known as "Porchy The Pirate". In this film, a man is known to be a thief of amazon packages from people's doorsteps. All goes well for him until he opens a package with a potentially dark secret he is not supposed to see. What does he find in this myst...

It's Devon's week (diddly diddly diddly dee)! And this week, he picked one of his favorite movies, the 2015 version of the French novella "The Little Prince". In this episode, hear us discuss the wonders of French writing, the nonsensical philosophical phrases the little prince speaks in, and how to find your inner child. Did this movie hold true to the book? Was Paul Rudd a good choice for Mr. Pr...

Have you ever been to one of those joint fast food restaurants where it is a combo KFC/Taco Bell or KFC/A&W? What if, by some odd chance, one of those stores ended up being a Carl's Jr. and a Hardee's? Well that is what happens in this week's episode of "Writer's Block". Two individual franchisees must compete against each other to keep their business alive, all while selling the same products...

Is it hot in here, or is it just us? Because it feels like the era of the love lads is still going strong... April Fool's! I know you all wanted to hear Devon discuss BDSM and hot men, but this week, although released a couple days after April 1st, we decided to switch things up and sub in Marina and Alex to take the reins (and whips) on this episode. GET READY! This episode is going to get very s...

Biopic time! This week, Lukas put "Porchy the Pirate" on hold to tell the story of the life of early 20th century baseball player George Edward "Rube" Wadell. Not only was he known for his spectacular play on the baseball field, but also for his odd and eccentric personality, and his heroic actions of saving a child from drowning. Also in this episode, you get to hear some short scripts that inclu...

"Everybody get up it's time to slam now, We got a real jam goin' down. Welcome to the Space Jam! Here's your chance, do your dance, At the Space Jam...Alright!" That's right! Those lyrics can only mean one thing. This week we watched the 1996 cult classic, "Space Jam". In this week's episode, we welcome on our biggest non-familial fan, Brandon's friend, Kellee Tilson. Listen to us discuss the skil...

Do you suffer from galeophobia? Well if so, viewer discretion is advised, because this week we watched "Deep Blue Sea". In this week's episode, we take on a film that is often regarded as the second greatest shark themed film through 1999. With such a bold claim, it has to be good right? Well, let's just say, we had some controversial opinions on the film. Does the experimentation on the sharks in...

Comedy can often come from a dark place, and that is what we explore in this week's episode of "Writer's Block". In this episode, a failing standup comedian takes a gig at an assisted living facility and befriends a terminally ill elderly woman. Eventually, each of them benefit from the friendship in different ways. Will this relationship have any consequences or be frowned upon? Does our comedian...

What happens when you remake a classic, but decide to change nearly all aspects of it? Well when you do that, you get the 2015 remake of "Point Break"! In this week's episode, we dive deep into the extreme poly-sport athlete realm to try and infiltrate a group of anti-heroes who are trying to stick it to big corporations and save the Earth. Does this movie hold up with the likes of the original? J...

Do you remember Kony 2012? We sure do! And in this week's episode, we take a fictional trip down memory lane, as some ex-military friends privately team up to take down a Sudanese warlord to receive the $10 billion bounty on his head. We also deliver some dazzling scripts from our previous episode with music brought to you by the one and only ABBA. Do they need to kill the warlord or keep him aliv...

Have you ever had such a crazy night that you cannot remember what happened the next day? We know we have! Have you also found out the next day that the sake of the universe is in your hands? Well if you answered yes, you are not alone, because in this week's movie, Jesse and Chester must piece together the previous night to figure out how to save the universe. Do they find the continuum transfunc...

The year is 2032, you are 37 years old, and the apocalypse has happened. Luckily, you were super introverted and spent your free time prepping for the end of the world, and you were able to survive the apocalypse. Unfortunately, you just happened to get adult braces recently, and now must try and find a dentist to take them off in a post-apocalyptic world. Will he pick up friends along the way or...

Wait a minute... I thought this podcast mostly did bad movies?? Well, not entirely. We are called "The Good, The Bad, & The Movies", and we had to show Devon what a good rom com can be. So this week we dive deep into a Woody Allen classic, and one of the all time greats, and originals in the rom com category. This episode is full of laughs, tears, and technical difficulties (we deeply apologiz...

Be honest with us... do you secretly love watching bad reality dating shows? We know we sure do! So to end the month of romance, we create our first ever rom-com on "Writer's Block". In this episode we will first dazzle you with some scripts for Devon's animated ghost film (even though we didn't get Devon's script for it). Then, we create the story of a couple who decide to go on a reality dating...
