Pick Six Movies

In the second episode of this season we get back behind the wheel with Burt Reynolds with Hal Needham back behind the camera in the 1983 race car disaster “Stroker Ace”. This movie has everything you expect from the team of Reynolds and Needham. It includes car chases, car crashes, misogyny, sexual assault, attempted murder, bar fights, illogical plot structure and general disappointment.

In the third episode of this season we take a look at Don Bluth’s animated feature film “All Dogs Go to Heaven”. Looking for a children’s movie with gambling, murder, gun play, child abduction? What if we make it a musical with tragically forgettable songs and a lack of any sense of morality or good will? It’s features the voice talents of Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Loni Anderson and it’s just awful.

It’s fitting that “The End” caps off Season 1 where we explored the films of Turd Ferguson. This movie comes to represent all we know and love about Burt Reynolds movies in every good way and every bad way. It’s a dark comedy that’s neither dark, nor arguably a comedy. It’s tonal mosaic of a poorly constructed narrative wrapped around a narcissistic protagonist. And did we mention Mr. Reynolds not only stars but directs as...

This season’s theme “Live From New York” features six movies inspired by characters from Saturday Night Live. To kick things off, we present “Wayne’s World 2”, the sequel to the highest grossing Saturday Night Live movie of all time – “Wayne’s World”.

It was the success of “Wayne’s World” that ushered in a decade where nine Saturday Night Live inspired films would hit the silver screen. So join us as we take on six of these...

This season’s theme “Live from New York!” continues with the movie “Superstar,” featuring the brilliantly funny Molly Shannon starring as Mary Katherine Gallagher. In this episode we explore the career of Molly Shannon to get a better understanding of how this movie and it’s protagonist is in many ways a pseudo-autobiographical story of Molly Shannon herself. Unlike many of the movies we discuss on this podcast, we really ...

“It’s Pat” is the next film in this season “Live from New York!”. We finally get an answer to the question, “Who wanted to see a movie based on the SNL character Pat?”. The answer is apparently nobody. The quality of a movie is inversely proportional to our enjoyment of discussing it. “It’s Pat” is the worst movie we’ve reviewed to date and made for the most surprisingly enjoyable discussion of a movie thus far. This movie...

You’re Good Enough, You’re Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You.

Come join us as we continue an exploration of SNL-inspired movies with Episode 4, “Stuart Saves His Family” starring Senator Al Franken, Criminal Intent’s own Vincent Vincent D’Onofrio, Harris Yulin a.k.a. – the angry judge from Ghostbusters 2  – and the ever lovely Laura San Giacomo.

Take a listen as we hilariously discuss a movie about a family deali...

“The Ladies Man” stars Tim Meadows as his most memorable character from Saturday Night Live. In the fifth episode of this season we get learn more about Leon Phelps upbringing and really examine his relationships with an interesting cast of supporting characters, most of which are alcoholics, physically abusive, emotionally unavailable and self destructive.

As always, we thank you for checking out the show! You can drop us ...

Let’s spend “A Night at the Roxbury” to wrap up this season of SNL inspired films. This final installment follows human bobble heads Steve and Doug Butabi, played by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, through a series of poorly constructed and ultimately confusing series of events that culminates with the films credits. In short, it’s not a very good movie. But we had a lot of fun discussing the misadventures of these two dry ...

“Monsters Are Universal” is the theme for season three of Pick Six Movies. We start things off with our take on Francis Ford Coppola’s take on Bram Stoker’s take on “Dracula”. This movie is so wonderfully over the top. It’s filled with bad accents, open-air carnival pornography, male lactation, bestiality and lots and lots of Dracula impressions from your two enchanting show hosts.

Here is the extremely seductive trailer as...

This season’s theme, “Monsters Are Universal”, continues with 1994’s “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” which was directed by and stars Kenneth Brannagh as the title character Dr. Victor Frankenstein alongside Robert De Niro as the creature. This is a supersized episode filled with hidden history, fascinating insights and some hilarious comedy from your two lovable hosts. So join us as we try to breathe life into this bombastic...

Is 2017’s “The Mummy” a remake? A reboot? A reinvention? Well, we do know that it is Episode 3 of this season’s theme “Monsters Are Universal” where we are looking at more recent interpretations of classic Universal monster movies. This was the film set to launch a shared “Dark Universe”. We answer the questions does the movie succeed? Does it fail? Would casting Nick Nolte and Steve Buschemi have made it better. The answe...

What if iconic horror director John Carpenter directed SNL founder Chevy Chase in a re-imagination of the sci-fi, horror remake of the 1933 film “The Invisible Man”? Well wonder no more! “Memoirs of an Invisible Man” continues this season’s theme of “Monsters Are Universal”. It’s not a comedy. It’s not a thriller. But it is a mess.

Darryl Hannah is the lovely female lead. Sam Neil is our bad guy. Steven Tobolowski is our ra...

“The Wolfman” from 2010 caps off Episode 6 of this season’s them “Monsters Are Universal” where we examined six remakes of famous Universal Monster Movies.

You may even piss on the rug and try to lick yourself clean.

This movie was directed by Ron Howard, feature’s cameos by almost all of his family and has scene with a good old fashioned 1970’s key party. On top of all th...
