Last Night We Watched

This week, the Mayo boys stare directly into the furry, dead eyes of the 2003 Mike Myers disasterpiece Cat in the Hat. What begins as a kids’ film spirals into a neon nightmare filled with inappropriate jokes, existential dread, and Paris Hilton for some reason. Brandon breaks down the cursed production history, including the fact that Mike Myers had to be legally threatened into wearing that human-hair suit, while Brett dreams of ...

This week on Last Night We Watched, we dive into Ti West’s slow-burn 80s throwback House of the Devil—a film where the real horror isn’t the blood ritual, it’s Tom’s pathological cheapness. Join us as we unpack how one man’s penny-pinching ways somehow lead to a demonic house-sitting gig, questionable pizza choices, and a suspiciously generous “just sit here and don’t ask questions” offer. Is Tom secretly the devil's budget coordin...

This week, we dove fists-first into Cage—a movie that’s part underground fight club, part insensitive fever dream, and 100% baffling. Starring Lou Ferrigno as a brain-damaged Vietnam vet and Reb Brown as the most aggressively '80s sidekick(?) imaginable, this film raises a lot of questions—mostly: “How did this get made?” and “Why is this so casually offensive?” and "Who is this for?".

We unpack the film’s uneasy relationship with t...

This week, we unpack the pastel-drenched, melancholically whimsical world of Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. We dive into dysfunctional genius, family trauma wrapped in vintage Adidas tracksuits, and the subtle art of deadpan delivery. From Margot’s smoky mystery to Richie’s tennis breakdown, we talk character arcs, absurd set design, and how Gene Hackman somehow makes being a terrible father so watchable.

Plus: Is Pagoda the r...

This week on Last Night We Watched, we’re loading up on one-liners, explosions, and pure ‘80s action insanity as we take on Commando (1985)! Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as John Matrix, a retired special forces badass who tears through an army of goons to rescue his kidnapped daughter. Subtle? No. Ridiculous? Absolutely. Entertaining? Oh, you bet your last rocket launcher it is.

Join us as we break down the epic body count, over-the-...

This week on Last Night We Watched, we’re diving into the neon-lit, post-apocalyptic chaos of Double Dragon (1994)! Based on the classic beat-em-up video game, this action-packed (and wildly campy) adaptation throws martial arts, 90s cyberpunk aesthetics, and over-the-top villainy into a blender—whether it works is up for debate.

Join us as we break down the bizarre plot, questionable CGI, and the undeniable charm of Mark Dacascos a...

Last night, we revisited a 90s kids' classic—3 Ninjas! But let’s be real… where was the dad in all of this? And was there any actual karate happening, or was it just a lot of dramatic yelling and slow-motion flips? We break down the nostalgia, the questionable parenting choices, and why grandpa was the only one taking martial arts seriously, kinda. Grab your jelly beans and prepare for some "Rocky loves Emily!" energy as we dive in...

Sharpen your stakes and break out your crimping iron because this week, we’re sinking our teeth into the real Slayer—Kristy Swanson’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)! That’s right, we’re taking it back to where it all began, before the CW got its broody, angsty hands on her.

In this episode, we discuss why the original Buffy, with her valley-girl charm, Paul Reubens’ legendary death scene, and a peak '90s aesthetic, reigns supreme o...

This week, we tackle two wildly different movies: the charming oddball Frankie Freako and the unintentional fever dream that is Munchie Strikes Back.

Join us as we gush over Frankie Freako—a film bursting with quirky charm, old-school practical effects, and hilariously offbeat timing that makes it an absolute joy to watch. Then, brace yourself for our roast of Munchie Strikes Back, a movie so cheap and sleazy it feels uncomfortably ...

Last night, we dove headfirst into The Book of Henry, a movie so wild it feels like a fever dream. Join us as we unpack the story of a child prodigy who dies in his mother's arms, a girl enduring unspeakable abuse, a mother pressured into committing murder, and a family navigating the failings of every system imaginable. Oh, and let’s not forget the potential dabble in necromancy because, sure, why not?

We explore the bizarre tonal ...

Join us on Last Night We Watched as we hop aboard the magical bus to Halloweentown—and promptly crash it into the pumpkin. We're diving into Disney Channel’s beloved-but-bonkers classics, Halloweentown and its cringe-worthy sequel, Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge.

First, we’ll celebrate the campy charm of the OG, complete with Debbie Reynolds carrying the entire film on her witchy shoulders and a plot that somehow works despite ...

In this episode of Last Night We Watched, we dive deep into the cult classic Roadhouse (1989), a film that’s equal parts absurd and legendary. Join us as we discuss Patrick Swayze’s iconic portrayal of Dalton, the coolest cooler to ever hit a dive bar, and ask the question that’s been plaguing us all: How does a guy who looks like he’s 130 pounds of pure muscle manage to rip out throats with the casual ease of someone opening a bag...

In this episode, we dive into the wild world of "Dude Bro Party Massacre III"—a riotously funny slasher parody that had us in stitches with its absurd humor and over-the-top jokes. While we loved the comedic elements, we felt a tighter edit could have made it an even sharper experience. Next, we ventured into the realm of found footage horror with "Deadstream," a laugh-out-loud ride featuring a YouTube personality who bites off mor...

We’ll dissect the campy sci-fi elements of Jason X, from cryogenic sleep to futuristic weaponry, and ponder why anyone thought putt...
