The Overdue Homework Podcast

After surviving a Tibetan cliffhanger, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls sends Ace to Africa to rescue a sacred white bat because apparently that's a real job. He spends the entire mission annoying everyone within a 50-mile radius, talking out of his rear end (sometimes literally), and turning wildlife conservation into a live-action cartoon. In the end, Ace saves the day through a combination of dum...

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the rare sequel that says, “What if the unstoppable killing machine from the first movie came back… but this time he’s here to be the world’s most violent babysitter?” John Connor goes from delinquent teenager to humanity’s future hope while being chased by a liquid-metal nightmare. Arnold Schwarzenegger swaps his “I’ll be back” villain routine for a deadpan robot dad...

Its a bonus episode. enjoy a selection of episodes looking back at the first 100. 

A bored office drone discovers his entire life is an elaborate computer simulation, which honestly explains why his cubicle job feels so soul-crushing. After taking career advice from a sunglasses-wearing cyber-guru and a crew dressed like they robbed a vinyl trench coat store, Neo learns reality can be defeated with enough slow-motion flips and dramatic staring. The Matrix somehow turned “What if...

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America follows America’s least employable teenagers on a cross-country odyssey after their TV gets stolen, which somehow spirals into a federal manhunt. Beavis and Butt-Head bumble through casinos, deserts, and government agencies completely oblivious to the chaos they’re causing, pausing only to laugh at anything remotely shaped like a butt. It’s a patriotic reminder that...

Enemy Mine is what happens when space racism crashes headfirst into a survival story and realizes it has to share a cave. A human pilot and his alien enemy go from “I will absolutely kill you” to “fine, I guess we’re raising a baby together” faster than you can say “hostile work environment.” The movie spends a surprising amount of time proving that even across galaxies, parenting is exhausting an...

After accidentally killing a diabetic police horse, three underachieving roommates hatch a foolproof plan: become drug dealers long enough to bail out their buddy. What follows is a haze of terrible decisions, extremely questionable business practices, and more weed than anyone involved can responsibly handle. In the end, it’s a touching reminder that friendship is powerful—especially when everyon...

In The Fifth Element, cab driver and professional chaos magnet Korben Dallas accidentally picks up the universe’s last hope—an orange-haired superbeing who crash-lands in his flying taxi like a very confused meteor. Together with a priest, a diva, and several extremely suspicious rocks, they must stop the galaxy’s most evil floating meatball from wiping out all life. Meanwhile, billionaire villain...

In Sidekicks, an asthmatic kid named Barry survives middle school by imagining he’s best friends with Chuck Norris—which is honestly a better coping mechanism than therapy. In real life he gets bullied by a guy who looks legally old enough to refinance a mortgage, but in his head he’s roundhouse-kicking ninjas like a junior action star. A kindly karate teacher (played by Mako) tries to turn those...

Two California surfer bros discover they’re actually long-lost princes destined to liberate a tropical island, which is exactly as responsible as it sounds. Armed with surfboards, bad 90s slang, and a kid who can see the future through a Game Gear (because of course he can), they take on an evil dictator who somehow loses to teenagers who say “rad” unironically. It’s part martial-arts adventure, p...

Demolition Man imagines a future where crime is illegal, swearing is fined, and Taco Bell somehow wins the franchise wars. Sylvester Stallone’s frozen 90s action cop is thawed out to punch problems that polite society is emotionally unprepared to handle. Wesley Snipes chews scenery as a cartoonishly violent criminal who treats the future like a playground with better lighting. The result is a biza...

Airborne (1993) is about a California surfer dude who moves to Cincinnati and treats rollerblading like it’s an extreme sport ordained by destiny. He battles local skate rivals, wins hearts, and somehow turns Midwestern pavement into a spiritual halfpipe of self-discovery. It’s basically *The Karate Kid* on wheels, but with more windbreaker energy and less dignity. This is the Overdue Homework Pod...

Blade follows a half-vampire, half-human daywalker who hunts bloodsuckers while looking perpetually annoyed about it. As vampires plot to unleash an ancient blood god, Blade slices through nightclubs, warehouses, and anyone dumb enough to monologue at him. The movie mixes comic-book lore, leather coats, and industrial techno into a very late-’90s vibe cocktail. This is the Overdue Homework Podcast...

In Total Recall (1990), Arnold Schwarzenegger pays for a fun fake vacation and accidentally upgrades to an identity crisis with free brain surgery. Mars turns out to be a red dirt hellscape where everyone’s either a secret agent, a corporate thug, or rocking a bonus mutant limb. Reality bends so hard it snaps, but Arnold solves every existential question the same way: by shooting it. By the end, y...

Clark Griswold once again proves that the true spirit of Christmas is blind optimism mixed with catastrophic home-owner negligence. As his house becomes a magnet for electrical fires, feral squirrels, and uninvited relatives, Clark clings to the dream of a “fun old-fashioned family Christmas” like a man who’s never met his own family. By the time the SWAT team crashes through the windows, the only...

Point Break is the touching story of an FBI agent who goes undercover and immediately forgets he’s supposed to be undercover, because surfing with dudes who may or may not rob banks is apparently more important than his job. Keanu Reeves delivers his lines with the emotional range of a toaster, while Patrick Swayze radiates “cool philosophy major who definitely smells like patchouli.” The movie in...

A drifter with a mullet and a bad attitude discovers that the world’s elite are actually hideous aliens selling consumerism like it’s a religion. Armed with magical sunglasses and a shotgun, he decides subtlety is overrated. Between one-liners and the world’s longest fistfight, he tries to wake up humanity one shattered TV at a time. It’s capitalism, conspiracy, and cheap shades—all brought to you...

In The Rock (1996), Nicolas Cage plays a nerdy chemist who suddenly becomes an action hero because apparently, science and explosions are the same thing. Sean Connery shows up as a suave ex-prisoner who escaped Alcatraz once and now has to break back in, because irony is the real villain here. Ed Harris leads a group of patriotic terrorists who think chemical weapons are a reasonable form of negot...

The Ghost and the Darkness is basically Jaws, but with lions and fewer functional accents. Val Kilmer tries to build a bridge, but instead builds a buffet line for two man-eating cats who think they’re horror movie villains. Enter Michael Douglas, rocking a mullet and a rifle like they’re superpowers, only to prove he’s just as edible as everyone else. By the end, the lions are the most competent...

2025's Summer of Sequels continues with The Lost World. Jurassic Park 2 or JP2 as I like to call it is up.

Corporate greed drags everyone back to Dino Island™ because apparently getting eaten alive the first time wasn’t clear enough. Then, in a bold mo...
