The Good, The Bad, and The Movies

A birthday episode? But the birthday guest isn't on for the first 45 minutes? Sounds like a classic recipe for a TGTBTM classic. Get ready for the hit 2008 comedy, "Tropic Thunder" chosen by Brandon's brother, Carter. Is this a top 10 movie idea of all time? How many times can we play the curse word "beep" sound in this episode? And what is Jelking? Tune in this week to...

It's finally here! The masterpiece! And what a better way to end it than the two cinephiles going at it together over a work of art like this from 1973. Behold "The Exorcist". A timeless product, that may not seem quite as scary today, but paved the way for horror films of the future. What is our new song for history? Why won't Lukas take quotes anymore? And is Seth horny enough...

3 boys, better than ever, all in Billings, balls deep in Birdemic. It isn't Spooktober if the downtown spook boys don't tackle another installment in the Birdemic franchise. Nine years after the sequel to the cult classic climate change awareness/horror film dropped, we get another addition into the lore of director James Nguyen's imagination and creation. How many siblings did Seth ha...

Unlike anything you've probably ever seen, welcome to a Seth recommendation of a horror film. A film so dark and disturbing that one of us couldn't bear to finish the movie. Get ready for a French, realistic-psychological horror as we witness physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse all in one film. Who couldn't finish this film? Why does France have a bed bug epidemic? And...

Well well well! If it isn't good ol' TV Talk. Back in February, after a 6-week hiatus, Brandon wanted to wait another 6 weeks to release the last episode, but Seth said it had to be exponential. So here we are, 36 weeks later, releasing the final episode of TV Talk for the series "The Santa Clauses". Do we remember what happened last season? Do we remember what we even talked abo...

Our longest standing tradition is back. It's time for the Downtown Spookboys (insert thunder clapping sound effect here). And to kick off this wonderful month, we are ruining a timeless childhood classic and making it a horror movie. Goodbye to sweet and lovable Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, and hello 7 foot tall, anthropomorphic, mask wearing murderers. Why did Winnie the Pooh and Piglet turn i...

It's a HIT! And we aren't talking about the movie, just board game lingo. Have you ever wanted to transform a board game into a movie? Neither have we, but Hollywood had different ideas. Get ready for the board game Battleship, turned into a movie... oh but also add in physical therapy, chicken burritos, and lizard alien men. Why did the casting director even consider having Rihanna in thi...

Another year, another birthday episode for our biggest fan Kellee; however, we are upset this year that Bilson did not DM Brandon to tell him we need Kellee on. But regardless, she's here, and talking about her favorite topics: movies, soccer, crossdressing, and Shakespeare. Join us as we dive into the career of the wickedly talented Amanda Bynes as she pretends to be her brother in order to p...

Do you love E.T.? How about eating some McDonald's, drinking some Coca-Cola, or having a sweet treat like Skittles? Well if you do, Mac and Me is the movie for you as it rips off a beloved classic film and is scattered with product placement. This movie has everything, from drowning children in wheelchairs to breakdance numbers with Ronald McDonald himself. What show does Paul Rudd show a clip...

IT IS SEASON 8! And that means we must be Goobin' with Gooby! Thanks for sticking with us this long, and if you have joined us this far, Gooby is a classic TGTBTM movie where a young boy has his teddy bear come to life to help him not be scared of monsters. Does this film fall into Seth's blind spot of animal-based family films from 2001-2013? What would happen if Gooby met Stu from "...

AND LIVE! From the Season 7 finale, Brandon, Lukas, and Seth are here to bring you the best of the season, hand out some awards, and see which movies will stand on top. Season 7 was a thrill filled with 5 birthday episodes and the birth of Brandon's daughter. So let's celebrate birth, maybe watch "Birth", and continue to give you all the content you want/crave/need. Do our best picture and bracket...

Do you bobble and wobble and just can't get enough of it? Well then get ready to get your bobble creed on, and welcome to the Season 7 finale, where we are joined by Devon and watch a 2020 animated film about bobbleheads based on Lukas' recommendation. If Toy Story, Home Alone, and poor animation had sex, this would be their child. Which famous celebrity makes a 4 minute appearance, preten...

Seth brought his sister on as a guest, which can only mean one thing... Lukas is not here with us. Apparently, Lukas despises Seth's sisters and will not be on when they are on. But that's okay because we've got loads of information and tangents to give you in this week's episode revolving around a murdered teenager whose brain is implanted into an animatronic dinosaur, and then he...

Another birthday episode? That's right! Season 7 is jam-packed with 5 birthdays episodes, and ending them all is Lukas' birthday choice. We have lost Seth and Devon this week, which means the paper towel pals are ready to dissect this movie and go balls deep in some information. In this episode, we discuss an arthouse, Taiwanese, Chinese dialect, 4 hour long film, just in spite of the shit...

Happy Birthday Marina! And thank you for picking a gem of a movie. Getting ready for the most difficult episode we have ever had to record. What the hell is "Quanticast"? Why can't Marina stop thinking about Mrs. Kwan? And how many viruses does Brandon's computer have on it? Tune in this week to find out all this and more, but only on "The Good, The Bad, & The Movies"! P.S. Check out these links b...

Now be careful when watching this movie, because you don't want to watch the wrong Avatar like us! Get ready for some more M. Night Shyamalan as we tackle another Nickelodeon production on a live action remake of the beloved cartoon series of similar name. How similar to the original series is this? What is 'Lukas' coffee corner sit down with guests and more? And who is the onomatopoei...

We lost Lukas (and Devon is still lost)! But that doesn't mean Brandon and Seth can't carry a god damn podcast on their own. So welcome to the 2-man show, where we dive into a classic genre of this podcast, the monster horror B-movie, with an instant classic edition in "Llamageddon". How many of the cast and crews names are actually made up? Why are we treating the listeners like...

Everyone join us in wishing Seth a happy birthday because he is special and want to make sure he is doing his best! On the anniversary of Seth's birthday choice that he made a TGTBTM tradition 1 year ago, he picked "The Skateboard Kid", more famously known on this podcast as the movie with the quote, "Is that true Dan?". We talk about everything from skateboarding and birth...

Don't mind the countless technical difficulties and the subpar audio quality. Brandon worked really hard to even make this episode listenable. But it is here, and so is our guest, Mitch Bohn! Mitch is a podcaster himself with his own sports podcast, "Wide Left Sports", where he interviews local and regional athletes. As part of the podcast clause, we had to continue the Transformers...

All under 1 roof? Could it be? It COULD! For the first time as a married couple, Brandon, Lukas, Devon, and Seth are all under one roof recording together, and they decided it was best to take on a 90's wrestling film starring Hulk Hogan titled "No Holds Barred". Nothing could possibly go wrong when four babbling idiots all come together. What are our thoughts on Hulk Hogan as an act...

Meet Xenomorph! It's time for another masterpiece, and this week we decide to take on 2 genres in one as we watch Alien from 1979. Also, Seth and Brandon were able to get a friend from high school on as a guest from California who works on movie sets and is a writer. Why did they decide to make all the monsters look like penises? Which famous actress has Aaron met that Seth envies? And what wo...

If you love conspiracy theories mixed with the nonsense action and decision making of Armageddon, you've come to the right place, because this week we watched Moonfall. In a film that you would think would be about the moon falling into the Earth, there really isn't that much of that. But, there is a lot more character exposition, foreign exchange students, rich step dads, and AI-based nan...

Back by popular demand, it's SPIN THE CHIMP time! A couple idiots on a podcast are streaming a sequel episode today on Malgor, surrounded by Freznar, Fluvians, Globhoppers, and chimps, so that can only mean one thing... we are continuing the "Space Chimps" franchise after Seth's heroic rating of 10/10 last year on the first film. Join us as we dive back into the a world of astron...

Hello Space Sluts and welcome to space you slut! Join us as we celebrate Seth's 1 year anniversary as a cohost on the podcast, and kick off our annual space themed science fiction movie month. This week, we watched a cult classic English language French film named "The Fifth Element". This movie is classic nerd shit! You've got Mangalores, Mondoshawans, Zorg, the made up alien Di...

Everyone get ready for another birthday episode! This week, we are celebrating Alex and letting her pick one of her favorite nostalgic films, "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". Get ready to listen to Brandon and Seth try and hear Lukas say even a word, Seth forget about Alex's birthday many times, and the new version of a lawyer sidebar in a courtroom . Why did Alex love this...
