What Were They Thinking?

Listeners Choice Month begins with a pick from the Spirit! It's Tron: Legacy and it has the guys scratching their heads at all the WACKY terminology! Is de-aged Jeff Bridges one of the worst "special effects" in cinematic history? How much word salad can this movie get away with? Is Olivia Wilde playing a sex robot? Did this movie really have a character twist that has absolutely no weight if you...

This week, the guys dive into an oft-misunderstood but absolutely insane comic book movie - Tank Girl. Should Tank Girl herself have been a gay icon of the 90s? Is that Ice-T playing a talking kangaroo man? Did the studio interference actually make things... better? How much quipping can one movie handle? NO SERIOUSLY... IS THAT ICE-T AS A TALKING KANGAROO MAN!? Check our social media on Sunday fo...

Galen is back (this time as a guest) and joins the guys to discuss the Renny Harlin box-office bomb: Cutthroat Island. This episode answers the question: how many pirate voices is too many? They also discuss Frank Langella's amazing performance, the filthy innuendo throughout, less-than-zero chemistry from the leads, holding people at gunpoint with eels, the existence of quicksand and much more. P...

This week, the guys discuss the comic-book sequel The Return of Swamp Thing along with recurring guest and comic book aficionado Joshua Kotsabasakis. Does this movie pre-date The Shape of Water with a very sexy human/monster romance? You damn right it does! The guys get into ALL topics including Locklear's conversations with her houseplants, the two most annoying children on the planet, windows th...

The guys welcome back Mariah to talk about another one of her Childhood Movies (TM, All Rights Reserved). This time, it's 2004's A Cinderella Story starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. The gang all marvel at how quick Chad Michael Murray is at texting, they pull their hair out at the movie trying to convince everyon that Duff is a plain-Jane, Mariah points out all the horribly-aged dialog...

Nathan is back! And alongside Brendan, they welcome back recurring guest and extreme sports expert Jerika to discuss the Australian Nicole Kidman BMX/crime movie - BMX Bandits. They talk about the characters very carefully doing their "stunts," the similarities between this movie and Mad Max Fury Road, a lot of threatened violence towards minors and more. Plus: Jerika declares herself President of...

Joining Brendan this week are a couple o' fellas - Agents Cam and Scott from the Spy Hards podcast. Together, the three of them talk about Replicas, the 2018 Keanu Reeves vehicle that everyone forgot about... or never knew existed. They talk about the horrific Cronenberg-esque body horror of the opening scene, Thomas Middleditch's tragic character trajectory, the camera lusting after Alice Eve, th...

Joining the guest co-host train this week is Brent from the Home Video Hustle as he helps Brendan break down the Jean-Claude Van Damme "classic" - Cyborg. The guys talk about the baffling decision to not make Jean-Claude Van Damme play a cyborg, the awful special effects with Pearl's robot head, all of the hack filmmakers that stole from this masterpiece, JCVD phoning it in, the two sequels with A...

Back on track this week as Brendan and special guest co-host and friend of the show Galen Howard tackle the 2008 failed franchise-starter, Jumper. The guys talk about Galen's knowledge of celebrity bathrooms, all of the inconsistencies of 'jumper' powers, nobody reacting whatsoever to otherworldly amounts of destruction, Samuel L. Jackson' white wig and much more. Check our social media on Sunday...

This week, Nathan is away but tradition continues as the fifth Thursday of the month brings another Small-Screen Shameful. Brendan is joined by guest co-host Jason MacLeod as they talk about the German-made Christian government conspiracy film, 2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus. They talk about a whole host of things like communism "all over the place," the broken English script, Google Image se...

The MARCH TO WRESTLEMANIA concludes with a discussion of the worst wrestling PPV of all time - Heroes of Wrestling. Luckily, Ryan Gilbert comes back to share in the collective pain as the tragic trio talk about Jake Roberts' amazing comeback since this time, a commentator who doesn't know the names of the most basic wrestling maneuvers, the absolute worst tag team match(es) of all-time, terrible f...

This week, the guys start the MARCH TO WRESTLEMANIA by discussing a wrestling movie with returning guest Ryan Gilbert. This time, the movie on the chopping block is... Body Slam, the 1986 opus featuring the Face from The A-Team, Roddy Piper, Captain Lou Albano, Billy Barty and a slew of others! The guys are confused if this is Hal Needham's final film or not but they do talk about Billy Barty's ho...

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...
