#274 Payback (1999):Scene By Scene Riff

August 7, 2026 • 108 mins
Live from Smokey Tony’s in North Carolina: Mel Gibson wants his 70 grand back. James, Charles, and Ryan drove through half the country, cracked open some Cheerwine, and settled in at a public restaurant to riff scene-by-scene through Payback (1999)—the Mel Gibson revenge thriller that somehow became the “family-friendly” choice on the July schedule. What could go wrong? They dig into the alleyway surgery t...

August 3, 2026 • 70 mins

#273 - Firewalker (1986): Scene By Scene Riff

July 31, 2026 • 144 mins
Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett Jr. team up as treasure-hunting buddies in this 1986 Cannon Films adventure that was never supposed to get made. Writer Robert Gosnell submitted the script as a sample of his range—Chuck read it, loved it, and they started shooting before the studio even bought it. The result is a globe-trotting (or is it?) quest involving a golden dagger, a psychic map, a one-eyed antagonist, a shaman watching I ...

July 24, 2026 • 144 mins
The day has finally come — we're diving deep into Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, the over-the-top sequel that brought back the world's most unhinged pet detective for jungle chaos, sacred bats, rhino disguises, and plenty of "alrighty then" energy. James is joined by Steph (fresh off baby #3), Curt, and Rachel for a wild scene-by-scene breakdown full of laughs, heated debates on Jim Carrey dialed to 11, nostalgia trips, phys...

#271 - Above the Law (1988): Scene by Scene Riff

July 17, 2026 • 147 mins
Nico Toscani is a Chicago cop with a mysterious CIA past, a ponytail in progress, and a serious allergy to anyone thinking they're above the law — especially when that includes corrupt feds, mobsters, and a certain knife-wielding villain with a face that looks borrowed. Steven Seagal's debut vehicle mixes gritty cop drama, over-the-top action, and enough plot twists to make you wonder if the script was written by committee&he...
