There Will Be Duds

Odds and Ends: We talk about homemade food things that should be monstrosities, but then you try it and da bih ga. Feature Film: Widely regarded as one of, if not the worst best picture winner ever, we talk about Crash in all of its misguided glory, leading to a first ever judgement call in Duds history. Everyone in this is racist and so are you, just so you know. But no one else is as bad as the...

Odds and Ends: T.J. quizzes newly christened Star Wars watcher Nick on his knowledge of Glup Shittos; we both watched another great 2026 horror movie, isn't that great? Feature Film: Billy Wilder makes his third appearance on the show as we discuss yet another classic of his, the classic rom com The Apartment. Ahead of its times in ways, very much... with its times in others. But hey, Jack Lem...

Odds and Ends: We're joined by Regs, host of our sister podcast (in T.J.'s head, we talk about it), No Country for Old Films! And many many more, actually, he's quite the busy boy. In an attempt to make him feel comfortable, T.J. has an additional in-house guest from Regs' neck of the woods. Feature Film: Regs brings in two movies this episode, the first being the cult classic From...

Odds and Ends: We talk about the smash hit Desert Warrior, funded by the Saudi royal family; y'all heard about this Westeros? Feature Film: It's Daddy Can't Dance, or White Men Can't Dance. Either way, Pete Weaver can't dance. Well, okay, he can, but not well enough to do any good here. Might as well just do more horrific Nutty Professor impersonations, except please don't....

Odds and Ends: How's Myspace doing in 2026? Oh...; we talk about the drama, er, The Drama, with capital letters, because it's a movie title, so it's a proper noun, and those are capitalized. Just a lil bit of knowledge from yours truly. Feature Film: Our feature film this episode is... not a feature film! It's a miniseries by Satoshi Kon, who we've covered multiple times on the...

Odds and Ends: T.J. went to Florida to see the launch of Artemis II, but mostly just helped rescue marine animals Feature Film: Maybe THE ultimate dude movie of the 90s, Con Air features a huge lineup of stars, or at least faces you'll probably know from something, even if you can't quite figure out what it is. It's Cage at his Cagiest, because despite the lack of big freakout moments,...

Odds and Ends: We watched some new stuff, how about that? Nick talks about the HBO prestige trash show Neighbors, and we both talk about the movie that basically everyone's seen anyway so why even talk about it really, Project Hail Mary Feature Film: We return to Oz! Or actually, we just go there, since we've never covered an Oz movie on the show, but the movie is called Return to Oz, so I...

Odds and Ends: T.J. talks about the hot new indie game Rollercoaster Tycoon 2; rising from the ashes of another month of duds, we go over the current state of the dud list Feature Film: Choosing pain over pleasure, T.J. picked The Underground Comedy Movie, and what an apt choice it was. Directed by Vince Offer, this is about equally as awful as his other movie InAppropriate Comedy, which means it...

Odds and Ends: We attempt to break down the WB/Paramount/Netflix love triangle, which spirals into T.J. advocating ethical body shaming; Nick talks about the new Gore Bervinski (iykyk) movie Feature Film: We discuss the misunderstood (?) classic (?) by Tom Green (???), Freddy Got Fingered, which isn't really about that at all. It's more about... screaming and disappointed fathers. Extremel...

Odds and Ends: Nick's very un-romantic romance double feature for Valentine's Dayl; T.J. raves about the movie based on the show about the band named Nirvanna the Band, but I forget what it's called... wocka wocka, ba dum tshhh, thanks folks I'll be here til next Wednesday at 7 pm EST, oh lord, someone stop me! Please. Feature Film: We discuss the misguided (or intentionally poorly...

Odds and Ends: We do a belated overview of our favorite stuff from 2025. Games, shows, movies, music, etc. Actually, no etc., I think it's just those four things; we also both saw the new Sam Raimi movie Send Help, so we... well, we talk about that, too, what do you think? Feature Film: Kicking off another dreaded month of duds for March Badness, Nick brings in the horror anti-classic, The Bye...

Odds and Ends: We go over the Oscar nominations; the second 28 Years Later movie is out, did you know? Feature Film: We talk about the infamous documentary Dear Zachary, which is very sad and I don't feel like making any jokes in this episode description, so byeeeeeee... Next week's movie: The Bye Bye Man (2017) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form...

We're opening the vault again, which we've started using as a means to feature stuff other than what we normally do on the show. This time, we're doing video games! Again. Nintendo video games! Again. It's the Nintendo 64, in all it's janky and dated glory. This is part 1 of an eventual trilogy of episodes on the console, to be completed at some point in the future! Next week&#...

Happy 200th to us! To celebrate, we invited some friends to a cabin in the woods to talk about some movies, most of which take place at a cabin in the woods. We didn't necessarily plan on doing two Sam Raimi trilogies in a row for our milestone eps, but what can I say? The guy makes good movies. We also screen our own Evil Dead-inspired movie, The Ungrateful Dead and do a sort of live VJ style...

Odds and Ends: We talk about Rob Reiner and other filmmakers we lost recently; T.J. saw a new Wes Anderson movie, and he liked it?! Okay, calm down, it's not that exciting Feature Film: Proving Tarantino wrong, we talk about the great Matthew Lillard and SLC Punk!, a cult indie about some culty indies, or something. That kind of works. T.J. also watched the sequel and is here to tell you to no...

Odds and Ends: We celebrate our very small listening audience while going over our Spotify wrapped for the show. If you're reading this, dear audience, we luv u. Feature Film: To close out another year, we take all the good will from the original Black Christmas and throw it in the garbage as we cover the two remakes. Both bad for very different reasons, but which is worse? Is one dudlier than...

Odds and Ends: Christmas wishes and new year's resolutions; Nick talks about the newest Lanthimos picture, Bugonia; we talk about some unsung Brian Yuzna classics, shoutout the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and try to understand Ben Shapiro's high-IQ review of One Battle After Another Feature Film: From the director of A Christmas Story and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, Black Christma...

Odds and Ends: The new Coke ad has us down yet another AI rabbit hole, but T.J.'s cat just wants to play catch with dad; we discuss the new Frankenstein adaptation by Guillermo del Toro, and ask why there aren't any hot lady monsters. Feature Film: For a cheeky lil Thanksgiving movie, we talk about Dances with Wolves, the best picture-winning movie that revitalized the western genre. It&#3...

Odds and Ends: We do a bit of a deep dive into a Zack Snyder fan song, and talk about Snyder v. Gunn: Dawn of Incels. Feature Film: We check back in with Stanley and talk about his romantic comedy, Dr. Strangelove. It's about a lot of idiots, discussed by some idiots. It's also anti-war, did you know he made anti-war movies? Far out, man. Next week's movie: Dances with Wolves (1990) Yo...

Odds and Ends: Avoiding the horror of social interaction at high school reunions Feature Film: We're closing out our month of horror with the odd anti-Dungeons and Dragons movie, Mazes and Monsters (get it?). Probably most notable for being featuring the first starring role of one Thomas Jeffrey Hanks, this movie takes a tragic real-life story that had nothing to do with DnD and makes it all a...

Odds and Ends: Nothing to see here, folks, move along... Feature Film: We're talking about a classic from one of the masters of horror, that being Scream and them being Wes Craven. I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity for me to be super meta in the description here and maybe break the fourth wall and talk to you directly. That's something I never do. Wait, does that count? Nex...

Odds and Ends: The whole gang is here this time, and we're fighting off the horrors of being old by talking about old Facebook trends and how boomers have infected social media. Feature Film: Peyton's pick for the month is the recent Clown in a Cornfield, an incredibly by the books slasher, until it isn't. We relate to the small townness of the movie, as well as the terrible law enforc...

Odds and Ends: We embrace our oldness and talk about important things like the weather, and that youngster George Harrison's new record All Things Must Pass; T.J. saw the new War of the Worlds that everyone was talking about when this episode was recorded. Good thing we release these right away so that's still relevant when this comes out! Feature Film: Our regular horrorspondent Chris brings in T...

Odds and Ends: It is TOTALLY spooky season for us, just as it is for you, dear listener. If you believe it in your heart, seasons can be year round! Feature Film: Nick picked our first horror month movie this year, Creepshow! A collaboration between horror icons George Romero and Stephen King and inspired by their shared love of old horror comics, Creepshow is a kind of perfect movie to start the...

Odds and Ends: The wish for more very well-timed sequels; T.J talks about the new Naked Gun, starring Lesliam NeelsonFeature Film: We talk about a musical biopic about Johnny Cash. He did songs and some other stuff. Next week's movie: Creepshow (1982)You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!
