What Were They Thinking?

This week, the journey into 2024 continues as Jason MacLeod visits the boys to talk about the video game adaptation spectacular known simply as Borderlands. After Jason breaks down the lore of the video game and its history, the fellas chat about the worthless villain, lusting over Cate Blanchett, Eli Roth using none of his Eli Roth-ness and much more. Next week: I wanna play a (card) game. What W...

This week, the fellas go back to the Shyamalanverse with resident expert Lindsay Escoffery but this time they're talking about Lady Shyamalan and her recent hit, The Watchers! Nepotism awaits our calling as Ishana Night Shyamalan presents something kinda like what her dad does... but is it better? Worse? Convoluted? Less so? They talk all about this film including the undercover dating scene, the...

Continuing on this path of all things 2024 is the very unnecessary remake... The Crow. Hell hath no fury like Nathan's scorn for this movie and the guys have all kinds of things to talk about such as cool tattoos, possible time travel, romantic dialogue written by problematic teenagers, the genuinely awesome opera scene and much more. Next week: Shyafemalan! What We've Been Watching: Black Christm...

We're back! To start off Recently Regrettable (the worst from 2024), the guys are taking a look at the totally unimaginative Imaginary (see what I did there?) The guys discuss the really boring MC Escher "imaginary world," a lazy villain not wanting to do any of the legwork, a major character disappearing for most of the movie, bizarrely cheery ad promos and much more. Next week: a very unnecessar...

Ho-ho-ho! To cap off 2024, the guys dive into the brand new Netflix Original - Hot Frosty. Yes, it's about a snowman (snow sculpture, really!) that comes to life via a magical scarf... I think? The guys talk about all the confusing magic behind the premise, Craig Robinson and Joe Lo Truglio playing a comedic duo with no straight man, the police state town that's hiding a murder and they ask the ul...

The first of two Christmas episodes arrives this week as the fellas talk about Fred Claus starring Vince Vaughn as Santa's older brother. The guys get festive by talking about the Cronenberg-esque alarming elf CGI, the amount of Vince Vaughn riffing, North Pole budgeting and paperwork, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's "old man" cameo, Siblings Anonymous and much more. Next week: Can a snowman be hot?! What W...

It's still November so it's time to discuss all things Gamera! This time, Gamera takes on a bowl of shiny Skittles-turned fishthing called Zigra! The guys talk all about this movie being propaganda for SeaWorld, bloodthirsty children, monster spines that sound like xylophones, two "straight" husbands who seem to have an awful lot of chemistry together and much more. Next week: Santa's brother! Wha...

This week, the fellas are joined by romance novel connoiseur Emma Wilkes to discuss the Gerard Butler/Katherine Heigl rom-com The Ugly Truth. The gang discuss the logistics of Butler's segments on the morning news, vibrating underwear, "pulling a Boebert," the hot air balloon ending and much more. Plus: Emma reveals her simian-based fears and remember - #notallmikes #notalltims but #allchads. Next...

Lesley Ann Warren just wants some lovin' in this week's movie A Night in Heaven. Britany Sparrow joins the guys to discuss the movie that sports "Heaven" by Bryan Adams (yes, it was written FOR THIS FILM) played over an endless bike-riding sequence, strippers openly making out with patrons, uncomfortable sex scenes, NASA as a plot element that goes nowhere, an INSANE false imprisonment ending and...

Ah, sex comedies of the 80s. Truly they were an interesting breed. This week, the guys talk about the sex comedy Zapped! starring real-life creep Scott Baio and Willie Aames. The guys break this one down and talk about Scatman Crothers' salami fever dream, the Carrie ending with all the boobs, all of the sex crimes perpetrated by our protagonists, the movie not understanding telekinesis and much m...

Is this even a movie? Spookies? It's like two half-movies? Into one? And it makes no sense? What is this? No seriously, WHAT IS THIS!? What is this madness? ...have Nathan and Brendan finally lost their minds? Find out this week when they unpack one of the weirdest, most nonsensical horror movies covered on this show in its history. I mean... the farting muck monsters, come on! Next week: Baio! Aa...

Yes, it's a movie in which a big monster tries to kill a bunch of people in a museum... or is it? Because I can't see nothing! Yes, this week the fellas talk all about Peter Hyams' The Relic starring the late Tom Sizemore. They talk about the horrible (lack of) lighting, the hypothalamus drinking game, the ludicrous twist involving the identity of the monster, the anti-drug PSA and much more. Next...

It worked the first time so let's do it again but this time... crappy. Yes, folks - the guys discuss Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, a truly baffling sequel to a huge movie phenomenon. They ask the question... in the world of this movie, is the first film just a movie? Or ACTUALLY a documentary? And if THIS movie is a "re-enactment," why do the actors need to be playing characters with the same fi...

Fight the power! The first power, that is. Yes folks, it's a film about Lou Diamond Phillips fighting a body-hopping demon... sort of? Nathan and Brendan try to wrap their minds around The First Power starring LDP in a ridiculous jacket and featuring the least organized stakeout in movie police history, people just barging into homes without reason, a horse outrunning a car, an amazing fight scene...

Spooky season finally kicks off with a discussion about the Scream knockoff starring Alicia Witt and Jared Leto. Yes, it's Urban Legend... a movie that asks: how much can we rip off from another movie without being sued for plaigarism? The guys talk about the killer reveal that makes no sense, the urban legends that were clearly created solely for the film, campus radio rules, Brad Dourif's tragic...

This week, it's another doozy as the guys talk all about Artemis Fowl, a movie so rotten that eventually even Disney+ gave it the heave-ho... and it belonged to them! Anyway, they discuss how different it is from the source material, the nightmarish jaw-unhinging, the very unlikeable main character, Judi Dench's performance and much, much more. Die Hard with fairies? OK. Next week: Schlocktober be...

This week, the gang is back... and they've brought along Galen Howard to discuss the 1995 Pulp Fiction wannabe (and also starring Quentin Tarantino!) Destiny Turns on the Radio. They talk about all the pseudo-spirituality nonsense, getting pregnant via dream-assault, Jim Belushi touching himself, the electrified swimming pool portal and much more. Yes, those are all things that happen IN THIS MOVI...

It's the fifth Thursday so you know what that means... Yes, it's time for another Small-Screen Shameful but this one has people you know like Tyrese Gibson and John Malkovich so how can it be bad? Yes, Nathan and Brendan talk all about Prime Original Rogue Hostage aka Die Hard in a Wal-Mart. After the 148 production company logos fade and the film can begin, the guys discuss Malkovich looking surp...

This week, the fellas talk about the rightfully-forgotten 1980s Michael Keaton comedy, The Squeeze.

Join the foursome as the hosts marvel at the aforementioned guests' encylopedic knowledge of the source material in a discussion of this huge movie. They also discuss Bones being a hippie, the space vagina, the 6-minute Enterprise introdu...
