They Made Another One?!

When a major release finally has the same reverence for in-the-title punctuation that we have, it's bound to get covered... that is just one of the many tangents you will hear in this episode while we try to discuss SCOOB!. Another trip to Hanna-Barbera country goes... a lot better than that other movie we watched and yet we still found a way to require providing written testimony from a third...

You know we had to start the new season with a bang, which means getting hit with a nearly two-hour episode right off the bat. It's an opportunity to return to our roots, and so we return to TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, the first franchise we ever recorded an episode on. With that return comes a question: could this be another hidden horror gem? Let's just say... the movie has some tricks up i...

We've finally reached that long-awaited milestone: one year of They Made Another One?!. There's 51 movies in the rear view now, and with them, innumerable memories. We're gonna get a bit sappy, okay? Thank you to everyone who has ever listened, told someone about the show, thought about listening, or put up with our recording process. We love this show and we can't wait to do more....

We're on the doorstep of our one-year anniversary, and as such, we needed to think of the most appropriate send-off possibly as we venture toward the future. It only felt right to cover a movie that is widely known for not getting a sequel that it teased at the end... and maybe there's a few other fun, meta reasons to get to it before our anniversary. Listen and find out. If you know, you...

We can guarantee, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this is the most thorough discussion of Jonah Bobo's career and post-film life you can find on the internet, thanks to resident Jonah Bobo scholar Jade Dickinson. Eventually we start talking about ZATHURA, and we're pretty confident this is also the most thorough discussion of that film since it came out, and we even find time to talk abou...

Content warning: discussion of sexual assault, rape, and pedophilia throughout the episode. Knock knock? Who's there? A shitty movie... or is it? Corey isn't convinced KNOCK KNOCK lives up to the hype and reputation that Liam set up for him based on previous experience, but maybe that's just an unspoken bias against Eli Roth talking. It's certainly not an unspoken bias against Kean...

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Technical difficulties meant no guest this week... so we got creative. We present to you the first -- and possibly last -- They Made Another One?! Live Commentary Track, where we encourage you to play along at home and sit through the film with us there to guide you through the Air Bud Cinematic Universe. Come for the skating, stay for the shocking amou...

We dip our toes into blockbuster filmmaking once again with this long-lost part of the Lord of the Rings series... okay, fine, the joke is dead, but Elijah Wood is here and he brought his oddball adult horror sensibilities with him. We go long on a novel and unique horror remake -- reimagining seems more accurate -- that's full of surprise, nuance, depth, and a distinct 2010s feel. Oh, and the...

Much to our surprise, Doctor Dad has returned and he's unwittingly trapped several large, blind sharks inside of an ancient underwater Mayan city just as a few teen girls are trying to strengthen their friendship through risky but well-meaning scuba-diving/spelunking adventures. Oh man, we sure hope no one comically ends up in a sharks mouth several times over in weird looking water scenes! Th...

Brace yourself for an odyssey. We are joined by the one and only Final Neal of Metal Slugkast and Mortal Podkast diskord fame to follow up his journey through American Pie-nia by revisiting AMERICAN REUINION, a movie we had somehow all seen before. Liam is another expert on the American Pie Cinematic Universe, so they proceed to school Corey on a movie he... didn't love, while also discussing:...

We're getting downright scandalous this week as we dip our toes back into erotic thriller territory with POISON IVY II: LILY... wait, what do you mean you've never heard of POISON IVY II: LILY? Or POISON IVY? Well don't worry, we have a whole primer on the erotic thriller genre and muse about its place in modern cinema before finding any excuse to talk about other erotic thrillers that...

We were prepared for a real doozy, so we called in some help from two great friends: Laura is back, and Madeline is here join us, too -- once co-hosts together on the Emotional Rescue Show. They bring that great chemistry and intimate knowledge of LEGALLY BLONDE to school us on the original. Then we're all... very, profoundly underwhelmed. We gush about Reese Witherspoon and talk fashion, too...

We never thought we'd be in this position -- y'know, talking about a Martin Scorsese movie. But we've got a couple of pool hounds around the table with Mitch back in the third chair this week, and we're more than prepared to be christened in the church of Fast Eddie Felson. THE COLOR OF MONEY is a cinematic experience that'll have you brainstorming your own pool hall moniker an...

Little did we know, this was a long time coming. The marketing campaign for this movie was bold and provocative, looming large in the cinematic awakenings of Corey and Liam for dramatically different reasons. Corey finally views a movie that had terrified him from a distance, while Liam revisits a familiar film. The movie is grimy and violent and bloody and gross... but is it compelling? Time to f...

We don't have a good description for this one. It's chaotic and weird and fun. We're in uncharted genre waters and the tables have turned: Liam doesn't like the movie and Corey mostly does. We invite all our friends on the show, insist the movie should change its title, theorize about the earth-changing potential of a Big Fat Greek Fan-Cast, and consider the potential of Mamma Mia/...

Last week rattled us to our very core in such a way we were worried about completing forgetting what the feeling of watching a good movie was truly like. Lucky for us, DREDD has come to save the day with Karl Urban's shockingly versatile chin, psychics, gnarly visuals, and prompting an unexpected personal anecdote about Rob Schneider. It is truly the palate cleanser we all need and, frankly, d...

We made a mistake. The mistake was watching this movie. To correct this error, we tried something new: it's just gonna be you, us, and a 20 minute timer to talk about THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS. And then no more. Then we talk about Easter chocolate and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, mostly. Because why not, right? Fuck it, it's the same mentality the filmmakers had. Find us on Twi...

Content warning: discussion of transphobia, homophobia, sexual assault, and graphic violence throughout the episode. Liam and his longtime friend, special guest Neal, both love the hell out of the movie SLEEPAWAY CAMP, which is known for it's iconic and controversial twist ending. We decided that was reason enough to decide to watch RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP, a film the same writer/director mad...

In these uncertain times, we've decided to seek out our roots and find familiar comforts. Of course, that means watching a forgotten sequel in a much-beloved horror movie franchise. It's never been a guarantee for the movie to blow us away, but there's always a chance, and with anxiety swirling around us now, it's a chance we wanted to take. It paid off. Without further ado, here&#...

In the midst of this awful quarantine we figured we'd take a look at a slam dunk for this show: Nicolas Cage in THE WICKER MAN. However, it seems to us like the film's reputation can be a bit much at times, and a lot of the thematic elements are... dubious. What eventually forms is a loving serenade to an underappreciated actor unfairly meme'd out of being taken seriously by most. Here...

Looks like everything is still terrible, so we thought we'd try to offset that terribleness with a movie so pleasant and cute and sugary sweet that our mood would have to improve -- and we brought returning guest Laura along for the ride. We finally see the next installment of Lara Jean and Peter's story that... well I'm not sure we were too worried about but it's bright and colour...

Content warning: discussion of physical violence and physical, mental, emotional abuse & gaslighting throughout the episode. Look, everything is pretty miserable right now so let's cut right to the chase: THE INVISIBLE MAN is an incredible film. Take a break from the outside world and let us tell you why.

In need of a new tactic to avoid the Animal Gods, we decided to try and class the joint up a bit with the return of friend of the show Mitch to discuss FRENCH CONNECTION II, John Frankenheimer's seemingly immediately forgotten sequel to the grimy classic. Friedkin's film has a massive reputation to uphold -- iconic chases, cutting characters, thoughtful insight into the duality of law enfo...

Content Warning: discussion of suicide throughout the episode. Seeing as our Animal Month woes appear to be slowly disappearing, we figured it might be safe to head back toward an animal movie. We were wrong. What results is one of the most divisive episodes of TMAO to date, discussing a movie that is absolutely overloaded with questionable, painfully 90s decision making. You bungee jumped off of...

We're still on the run from our Animal Month antagonists Dunston and the Electricity Wizard Clancy Brown. Despite our predicament, Liam phoned in from a safe location to chat about TOY STORY 4, a movie we had basically completely forgotten about that is stuffed top to bottom with people having various degrees of an existential crisis. As we gradually realize we're not nearly as in-touch wi...
