It's that time of year again so the guys are joined by Mariah Lirette to talk about another Christmas crapfest. This time, they discuss the insanity of the 1959 Mexican film Santa Claus. Casual racism? Check. Dancing dolls in a nightmare sequence? Check. David Cronenberg-esque cloud castle fortress for Santa? Check... wait what? Santa has TOO MUCH POWER. We are off for the holidays and will return with a mini-episode on January...

What movies made you take a step back and say... "huh? I just don't get the hype." Guaranteed to enrage you all, the hosts read from listener-submitted haterade for comic book movies, untouchable classics and maybe some genuinely overhyped blockbusters are in there as well? Maybe?

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, it's not December. It's November... and that means GAMERA! This year, the fellas dive in to Gamera vs. Jiger, a movie which is also apparently sponsored by Expo '70 considering all the airtime and stock footage it receives in the film. The guys discuss Gamera and Jiger's sexual encounter, people entering Gamera's body and... you know what, this episode's pretty spicy. Best put the young...

Don't you love sequels? Especially when they make as much sense as Alien Resurrection, a movie that said, "oh no, Ripley burned herself to death and we have to bring her back... I dunno, clones?" The guys discuss the 4th Alien film in the franchise and talk about the one-liner filled Joss Whedon script, Ripley being super horny for aliens, the deeply disturbing ending, Ron Perlman shooting a spider and much more.

Some movies do not belong on a small screen. And some movies certainly do not belong on a small screen for the entirety of the narrative. Imagine The Breakfast Club on a Zoom call?
