DISASTERPIECE

IT'S SEQUEL SUMMER!! And we're kicking it off with a sequel to Steven Spielberg's generation-defining hit, JAWS. It's JAWS 3-D! That's right! The shark is back. Or it's a new shark... we're not sure. Either way, it's here with a boatload of cheap '80s 3-D thrills designed to make you scream but more likely to leave you laughing.

Justin and Steve put on their wetsuits to explore the deepest reaches of this almost totally forgotten se...

Nukie is on vacation this week, so Justin and Steve are doing something a little different.

Instead of the boys taking a deep dive into a DISASTERPIECE, they're letting you take a deep dive into them!

It's the first AN EVENING WITH JUSTIN & STEVE. The boys will interview each other about their own personal artistic disasters, disappointing childhood toys, calamitous family vacations, and whatever else they feel like talking about...

Yup yup!! Disasterpiece is in full effect this week as Justin and Steve breakdance and break down Vanilla Ice’s 1991 star vehicle, Cool as Ice.

This steamless riff on Romeo and Juliet is a soggy mess that didn’t do Vanilla Ice, or anyone involved, any favors. But just like how the movie’s charmless lead is able to steal a nice girl away from her boyfriend, this film somehow landed the Academy Award-winning cinemato...

The boys are back with another episode of Steven Bochco's Cop Rock. If you're reading this, you know the deal: it's a gritty '90s cop show that also happens to be a musical. Like, a real musical.

There isn't much else to say at this point, except that Justin and Steve were very happy to discover that Cop Rock Episode 5, "The Cocaine Mutiny," guest-stars Gina Gershon.

Watch Cop Rock Ep. 5 - The Cocaine Mutiny HERE

WE’RE BACK!!! And the boys are covering our third animated feature film, WE’RE BACK! A DINOSAUR’S STORY.

It’s a mammoth-sized flop that was so incomprehensible, not even the dino-craze of 1993, or STEVEN SPIELBERG’S name on the poster, could save it from extinction.

With a star-studded cast that includes John Goodman, Jay Leno, Rhea Perlman, Martin Short, Walter Cronkite, Julia Child, and Lisa Simpson&he...

This week, Justin and Steve take a trip to the underworld to talk about one of their all-time favorite DISASTERPIECES: Empire of the Dark. It’s a rip-roaring, demon-slaying, hellhound-filled ’80s action movie starring a guy who looks like the physical incarnation of the city of Chicago.

The boys do their best to unlock the mystery of writer, director, and leading man Steve Barkett, whose all-too-short career includes onl...

Justin and Steve take their first real look at a reality TV DISASTERPIECE by heading down to Kid Nation, a show where kids are forced to build their own society from scratch.

To make things even more dangerous, they have to do it in an abandoned Old West town. Between real natural hazards, filthy conditions, and feats of strength that would make even the most seasoned Survivor alumni sweat, the boys are left flabbergasted by the amo...

Derek Savage's Cool Cat Saves the Kids is almost impossible to explain. On the surface, it’s a feature-length kids’ movie starring a talking cat who helps his friends deal with bullies. But underneath is something much more sinister and corrupt that has Steve and Justin convinced that Cool Cat might actually be a harbinger of doom, here to signal the end of times (or maybe he’s just a weird guy in a suit).

The boys...

By this point, you know that Cop Rock is a gritty police TV show that is also, somehow, a musical.

And if you knew about Cop Rock before listening to this podcast, it’s probably because of this week’s episode, “A Three Corpse Meal,” and not because of the insane title.

Steve and Justin are finally talking about—and singing along with—“The Baby Merchant (Tots-Я-Us).” It’s one of th...

Chuck Norris is gone. But in his wake, he left behind countless roundhouse kicks, thousands of bad jokes, the best Conan O’Brien bit of all time, and a handful of bad-to-okay movies.

There is no better way for Justin and Steve to talk about the highly problematic man who should have just stayed a meme than by partnering up and investigating the scene (obviously without a warrant).

1995’s Top Dog is a kids’ movie (?)...

Crank the theme, Randy! It's COP ROCK time!

Justin and Steve are back on the beat to cover the third episode of Steven Bocho's ill-fated, gritty musical cop show COP ROCK. The boys are three episodes in, and they still can't believe their ears and eyes.

Subscribe to join us on our journey through one of the most insane shows ever put on the air.

What’s more Irish than a mint-flavored milkshake? Lots of things! But aside from Wendy’s baked potato, the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is the most Irish thing you can order at a fast food restaurant.

This week, Justin and Steve sit down to do a live taste test of the world’s only Irish-themed dessert and learn about its humble beginnings—and how it might have actually saved a bunch of kids’ lives.

Th...

EMERGENCY EPISODE!

The boys call an emergency episode to talk about MERCY, a movie that came and went faster than Chris Pratt’s lovable era.

Steve and Justin have a million questions about this Philip K. Limp Dick entry in the hard sci-fi genre, like: “Is this pro- or anti-AI?”, “Why did Rebecca Ferguson agree to this?”, and “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, ANDY DWYER??” Luckily, Judge Maddox herself...

The boys are going back to where it all began to check in on their pal, QUIGLEY, the heaven-sent Pomeranian reincarnation of Gary Busey.

A lot has changed since Steve and Justin launched the Disasterpiece franchise with QUIGLEY, including the meteoric rise of LONGLEGS director Osgood Perkins, who is somehow the second lead in this faith-based family film.

Will this K-9-of-kindness kids’ adventure film hold up for the boys? Or h...

COP ROCK!! If you listened to our episode about the pilot of the gritty ’90s musical cop show COP ROCK, you know that Justin and Steve fell in love with the boys in blue who sing the blues.

So they’re heading back out on the beat to cover the second episode of this mismatched genre mash-up, titled “Ill-Gotten Gaines.”

Will the second episode be as fun as the pilot? Will the songs still come out of nowhere and ...

DISASTERPIECE IS BACK! This week, the boys are taking a look at the cult classic KILLING AMERICAN STYLE from SAMURAI COP director Amir Shervan. Robert Z’Dar leads this domestic thriller that is unfortunately light on action (or anything exciting, really) and heavy on the ZZZZZZZZs.

The charismatic gentlemen Justin and Steve may have had to fight their way through this wet noodle of an action movie, but they came out the other ...

HO HO HI YA! The boys are wrapping up our holiday season by finally watching A KARATE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. A movie that has as much to do with Christmas as gravy, psychics, murder, the justice system, clowns, and gun rights-and is somehow about all of those things.

Justin and Steve brave the cold and hit the dojo to study up and find out how the creators of a movie about karate and Christmas forgot to figuratively or literally deck an...

It’s 1983. You’re a dumb kid who wants a weird doll. Your parents have been blinded by capitalistic rage. Some kids got what they wanted. Some adults got hurt. Some people made a buttload of money. It was THE CABBAGE PATCH KIDS RIOTS.

Steve and Justin take a trip back in time to explore the moment when all of America lost its mind over a doll that looked like a dimple had a baby: the Cabbage Patch Kid.

Was there any good ...

HO HO HO! The holidays are upon us, and the boys are cooking up a holiday feast of disasters, starting with 1985’s holiday miss, Santa Claus: The Movie.

Steve and Justin head to the North Pole to figure out if it’s even possible to tell a straightforward Santa origin story. The lore is messy, the rules are obtuse, and the magic would drive a man to madness.

But the real question is: how can you spend this much money, buil...
