The Good, The Bad, and The Movies

You were ready for Spooktober, but now it's time for Zooktober, as we unleash all zombie movies for the Downtown Spookboys this year. Kicking it off with Brad Pitt and his sexy flowing hair as he battles FAST zombies and tries to develop a vaccine too quickly. How do you pronounce 'papacy'? Which band is releasing a new hit album called 'paper machete'? And who goes to see Big...

It's not TGTBTM if we don't try and tackle a unique foreign language film with beautiful filmmaking.

What school subject do we both secretly wish we could teach? How did the handheld 20 questions game perform so well? And who is N...

Don't watch this movie! Don't make this movie! Don't even think about it! But please do listen to this podcast as we discuss the high-budget talking animal film during the dreaded covid-year in Hollywood. What scene caused Brandon to turn the film off then and there and nearly not finish the movie? What are our thoughts on Lil' Wayne's song "How to Love"? And what is a hatchet bidet? Tune in this...

Get ready to be saved...by this podcast, as we are prophets leading you to the holy land of TGTBTM. We tread lightly in this episode as we do not want to offend anyone with our limited knowledge of the subject of the Islamic religion in an educational movie about the prophet Muhammad. Are religious movies really a kid's favorite present to get? Who is the floating bow character? And why does L...

Some call this movie the cilantro of movies, as most people love it, but there are those out there that despise it...which makes for great discourse as we have birthday guest Kellee join us and discuss the war film "Hacksaw Ridge". What does Lukas hate about this movie? Who is private IDIOT? And are there soldiers who carry metal detectors in war like the army men toys show? Tune in this...

Tune in this week to find out all this and more, but only o...

Another season, another bracket (and another episode with some technical difficulties and WiFi issues). It's called the Boudoir Bracket, but really, there is nothing sexy about this, except for movies. Does the bracket winner also win best picture? Did Devon understand how to do the anonymous voting and ranking to determine the winners? And what media are the Sims about to take over? Tune in t...

She be Fitzing on my Car 'til I Raldo! It's Lukas' birthday choice, and every year he gives us a tall task of some long, foreign, and highly artistic film. The task was nearly as big as pulling a steamboat up a mountain which is what we are talking about this week with the film "Fitzcarraldo". How many injuries/illnesses/deaths happened while filming this movie? What children...

Come one come all, it's time for another birthday episode, another auction episode, and the long awaited return of none other than Seth, Big Dawg, Tigner. Get ready to hear some terrible French accents, a mispronunciation of the title of the movie, and long moments of silence when Brandon gets silenced during the auction. What did Seth get for a birthday present from his girlfriend? What is Lu...

It's Alex's Birthday (2 months ago), and we get to switch out of coming of age teen dramas and move toward music mockumentaries. If you loved "This Is Spinal Tap" and mix it with "Hot Rod", you get "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping". The Lonely Island crew are ready to make fun of the music industry and make bangers along the way. Who is this movie supposed...

Thanks for your patience while this episode was being recorded, but we are back on schedule after a hectic week off. We were racing around all week, when we should have been racing to get this out and racing on the track with Speed Racer. What, the character's name is Speed Racer? How do we feel about cinnamon twists from Taco Bell? And why was Brandon nearly hit in the balls at the park? Tune in...

What happens when you are in the movie business in Brazil and you fall asleep during a gas leak? You wake up and make "The Little Panda Fighter". Get ready for another installment in the "Kung Fu Panda" rip-off, but maybe somehow worse? What kind of bear is Master Jin? What is Katy Perry's best hit? And can you actually call it a user review if it is just Brandon singing a...

If you knew what happens in this entire episode, would you still listen to it? That's basically what our space sluts masterpiece is trying to ask you as we dive into the world of non-linear time and first contact with aliens in "Arrival". How many times does Brandon get goosebumps and cry while just talking about this movie? Where does the current stretch of films for Dennis Villeneu...

Take some of the biggest sci-fi directors of all time, give them a big budget, let them work, and then have 2 guys stupidly critique them and you get TGTBTM. This week we dive into "Jupiter Ascending", where we get gene splicing, truthful bees, toilet cleaning queens, and an emotionally available Mila Kunis. Who is January Jones? Why does Channing Tatum own a giant collection of ears? An...

Another year, another big budget Netflix film that apparently was on their top 10, but we had never heard of it. Get ready for Atlas... and not some Greek mythology movie, but J-Lo as a space ranger who hates AI and controls a fighting robot mech. How do we feel about AI? What film does Brandon make the connection to that this movie is clearly similar to? And what did Marina print mid-recording th...

It's Space Slut season, and you can basically call us The Good, The BUG, & The Movies as we tackle a 90's cult classic space film titled "Starship Troopers". Get ready for satirical pro-fascist military propaganda to be thrown in your face, as well as so many bugs. Do we like to watch co-ed shower scenes? How many people got heat stroke filming this movie? And what kind of ge...

What happens when the ocean's deadliest creatures meet natural disasters? You get a podcast! And not just any podcast, but TGTBTM. This week, we tackle the SyFy cult classic, Sharknado, and honestly, we are long overdue for it. What drinking game did Devon play while watching this movie? Which student of Lukas' bested him in class over Schrodinger's cat? And what kind of care would a lava covered...

Whatever you do... don't look down, and don't stop listening to TGTBTM. This week, we got our adrenaline rushing, and we watched a 2022 movie that went viral on social media called "Fall". How much of the climbing in the movie was done practically? Did you know you can drown in an inch of water? And what is the new 'I got your nose' trick? Tune in this week to find out al...

Do you love Taekwondo, orphans, rock bands, and friendship while also hating cocaine and ninjas? Perfect! Then join us on a journey to Miami, Orlando, and don't forget about Missouri!

At what age are you no...

Do you want to listen to this episode? Yes...and I want to watch this movie and subscribe to this channel. Welcome back folks as we tackle Brandon's birthday choice, the improv-based tragicomedy, called "Don't Think Twice". What is considered a comedy movie in our minds and what isn't (this is a huge debate)? Is Brandon's birthday pick the equivalent of a White History Mo...

Back to back musicals, you'd think this is a themed month like 'Musical May'. Get ready for an ace-awesome episode that you will totally get a toner over when hearing Brandon and Lukas' sexy voices.

Tune in this week to find out all this and more, bu...

Thank you are for joining us this long! It is our 200th episode, and what better way to celebrate than the most recent 2024 Razzie winner for Worst Picture, "Madame Web". It is the perfect blend of Morbius and the 50 Shades of Grey franchise, as well as the perfect blend of Brandon, Lukas, and Devon. What is the best way to do CPR? How many dogs has Brandon punched in the head? And what...
