What Were They Thinking?

This week, the guys are joined by Galen Howard and unintentionally continue with the theme of the Cold War and evil Russians by talking all about the John Travolta film The Experts. It's a movie in which two idiots are dropped into a fake American town in Moscow (unbeknownst as fake to them) to teach future undercover agents how to be hip! The guys talk about all of the bad improv scenes with no r...

We do apologize that this episode is unfortunately so relevant to recent events in the news but hope we can give you some laughs with this dumb, dumb action movie. This week, it's time to talk about the conclusion of the original John Rambo trilogy, the aptly-named... Rambo III. First thing's first, the guys dive a bit into the weird naming conventions of this franchise, Brendan is weirded out whe...

This week, the guys are joined by first-time guest Sharon Horwatt, who bestows the Colin Farrell fantasy romance Winter's Tale upon them. This is the film in which it is discovered that making love to Colin Farrell is a death sentence and it also features an astounding cameo. You'll also hear about details in the source material that were left OUT of the movie, all of the lens flares, Russell Crow...

This week, the guys are joined by Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to discuss a very important film - Dean Devlin's (but really Roland Emmerich) Geostorm. From Gerard Butler playing an astrophysicist and using a terrible American accent to the world coming together in perfect unity, this film is one of the biggest fantasies ever covered on the show. Just how stupid do you have to...

It's Mariah's turn to pick the movie and she also joins the guys to discuss it! That's right, this week they discuss the 1995 big-screen adaptation of a "beloved" cartoon - Casper. They talk about the very dark turns and foul language in this children's film, the controversial choice of Casper having four fingers (and weirdly referencing it!), the Lazarus and its ability to only bring ONE person b...

It's that time of year when the better halves get to pick the movie! This year, Patty picked the Patrick Swayze vehicle (no pun intended) Black Dog. Thankfully, Patrick Swayze-certified expert Andy Hamilton joins the guys to help them break down this insane truckin' movie. Why does Meat Loaf disappear for 45 minutes of the film? Is Jack Crews secretly a mass murderer? Was Randy Travis purposely si...

To cap off an eventful month of last year's misfires, your hosts take aim at one of the wildest rides: the M. Night Shyamalan movie Old, which asks the question: what if everyone was stuck on an island that aged you super-quickly and no one talked like a human being? Listen to the drama unfold as Lindsay joins the fray for another Shyamalan banger where they discuss the overwhelming amount of fore...

Pressing forward through the worst of 2021, the guys tackle a found-footage disasterpiece known as Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin. Thankfully, they have recruited a helping hand in Brent from the Home Video Hustle podcast, who appreciated this nap of a movie. So why is this episode longer than usual for such a nothing movie? Well, they may have gotten off-topic... a lot. They do discuss the nons...

And onwards into 2021, the guys discuss another reboot/sequel many years removed from the original film in the form of Space Jam: A New Legacy. The guys are also joned by resident extreme sports expert Jerika, who tries to help them figure out if the original Space Jam exists in this world as a movie or a real-life event. They also bemoan the lack of any Jock Jams, wince at how incredibly long the...

All January-long is reserved to "celebrate" the Worst of 2021 and so the guys start off hot by talking about Mortal Kombat, the R-rated attempt at creating a better version of the 90s flick. Why does the tournament never actually happen in the movie? What's with all the obnoxious shoehorned video game references? Why suck up to the fans this much and yet still introduce a COMPLETELY NEW main chara...

Your hosts are on vacation until January so enjoy their segment from back in April on the hugely successful charity event "Livestream for the Cure" run by the wonderful Nicholas Haskins! And yes, they discuss Cool Cat Saves the Kids, a very strange "feature-length" PSA created by the very strange and problematic filmmaker Derek Savage. They talk about how the cat costume can barely move, Cool Cat...

In an episode exclusively released on Patreon a couple of years ago until this very moment, Nathan and Brendan dive head-first into one of the worst things ever broadcast on television - the Star Wars Holiday Special. In this festive episode, you'll hear all about George Lucas' lies, wookie orgasms, the origins of a much-beloved Star Wars character, all the questionable guest star appearances and...

Tis the season! The guys present their Christmas episode with regular recurring Christmas guest Mariah Lirette as they discuss the Disney Plus Exclusive Home Sweet Home Alone. Does this movie really think that making the 'burglars' into a likeable cute family was the appropriate update for this film? Why does the movie keep forgetting that Jeff is a computer genius when he can't figure out simple...

To celebrate 200 episodes of podcasting, the guys talk about Manos: The Hands of Fate, one of the all-time worst and most incomprehensible movies ever made. Despite that, how is this film linked with an Academy Award-winning screenwriter? Is Neil Breen a more competent filmmaker than Harold Warren? How about that incredibly bizarre "jazzy" soundtrack? And if you took out the pauses and awkward sta...

No, it's not the one with DeNiro and Pacino. Nor is it the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy cop comedy. This week, the guys bring in first-time guest and independent filmmaker Britany Sparrow to discuss the bizarre Burt Reynolds action (?) movie Heat. This movie has everything: it's written by acclaimed screenwriter William Goldman (!) adapted from a William Goldman novel (!!!), Burt says every hor...

Josh is back so you know what that means - another comic book movie! This week, he joins the guys to discuss the "final" installment in the Wesley Snipes vampire saga, Blade: Trinity. What's with all the Deadpool-level Ryan Reynolds ad-libbing? How come it feels so weird to hear Triple H swear? Do MP3s really get people pumped up to fight vampires? Did NO ONE think through the name "The Night Stal...

It's that time of year again - time to fly Air Gamera! This year, Nathan picks the clip show extravaganza Gamera vs. Viras. Did the alien spaceships look like Madonna's Beetlejuice bra or bumblebee butts? Why are these junior scouts allowed to operate a highly deadly submarine without any supervision? Did Misao invent the smartwatch and is Jim secretly Tim Cook? Why were they taking erotic picture...

This week, the guys are joined by a returning guest as Amanda the Jedi swings in to discuss a film that is near and dear to her heart: Twilight. What is this renaissance we're living in and why are we living in it? Stephenie Meyer did WHAT with a real tribe?! Is this the most hilarious romantic dialogue in any movie ever made? How difficult is it to use a ketchup bottle? And of course, the age-old...

Schlocktober is over so why not transition back to regular flicks with the action/horror hybrid and Chuck Norris vehicle Silent Rage. Galen Howard returns to join the guys in breaking down this absolutely insane movie. Is Stephen Furst playing the REAL serial killer in this movie? Why does the plot seemingly change into a different movie every 15 minutes? How is no one shutting down that hospital...

Schlocktober comes to a screeching halt with this final episode for October as the gents discuss one of the two films directed by creature feature maestro Stan Winston - Pumpkinhead starring Lance Henriksen. Why does Nathan love this movie so much? Why did no other characters check for a pulse after a kid is hit by a bike and clearly still alive? How come Nathan and Brendan can't tell who's who in...

Schlocktober soldiers on as the long-awaited followup finally occurs as Brent from the Home Video Hustle podcast pops in to discuss The Human Centipede 2 with Nathan and Brendan. The film is discussed in all its super gross detail and could this be one of the more angrier appearances from one of the hosts? Shouldn't Martin start off as a somewhat put-upon sympathetic character so we care about any...

This week, Shlocktober continues as the guys bring back Jason MacLeod to help dissect the driller killer sequel Slumber Party Massacre II. Just how long did the girls take to choreograph that dance number that was solely for their own enjoyment? How cheap are the cheap porn credits? Have you ever seen a slasher finale set to a musical number BY THE KILLER? Are the dream sequences real? And how lon...

Surprisingly, Nathan had NOT seen this week's film as a very young child but alas, the guys watched Vamp (thanks to Steve and Izzy for the Listeners Choice pick!) and had some stuff to say - why is everyone turned on by the very bizarre "striptease" by Grace Jones in full kabuki makeup? Do you think Gedde Watanabe was relieved to not have to effect an "accent" in an 80s movie for once? Does this f...

No it's not the Clint Eastwood one, it's not the singular version of that weird one with Jim Carrey that no one saw and it's certainly not the entire genre itself but the guys DO talk about the Alicia Silverstone straight-to-video 90s "hit," True Crime. Is the title really referring to the murder that surrounds the film or another far more sinister crime? What is with the weird religious themes th...

This week, the guys welcome back Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to talk about the Richard Grieco-led spy flick - If Looks Could Kill. Is this movie basically Never Too Young to Die or is it... better? Did Linda Hunt's character murder Wonder Woman for her gold whip? Wouldn't you know before going to your own graduation that you failed high school? Was the villain's evil plan to...
