Remember that when you can’t breathe, you can’t scream. On today’s episode, we discuss a movie that opened at number #1 at the box office and spawned 3 sequels and a spinoff with Lake Placid. Despite all of this it was nominated for 6 Razzie awards, including worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst couple— Jon Voight and the animatronic snake. This movie taught us that even though the jungle makes you horny, y...

On today’s episode, we discuss a movie based off of one of the most popular video game franchises of the 90s. A movie with a script that was so disposable that it was rewritten or thrown away daily on set and many of us still aren’t sure what the plot is. JCVD did everything he could to tank the movie, while Raul Julia is quite possibly the only saving grace, despite being his last role prior to passing away. Make you cry July ...

We are bringing back the "I've Never Seen" segment from the old days. One of us absolutely loves 2004's 'I Heart Huckabees' and the other two have never even heard of it. A self-described "existential comedy", I Heart Huckabees has an insane cast including Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Jude Law, Jason Schwartxman, Mark Wahlberg, Naomi Watts and so many more.

Make you Cry July starts off with an absolute bang. This movie was Stephen King's first and only attempt at directing a movie and the critics didn't like it. Stephen himself hated it. But here we are almost 40 years later, dissecting one of the best bad movies ever made. It caused an irrational fear of soda machines, lawn mowers, drawbridges, trucks and drain pipes. Join us as we chat about 1986's Maximum Overdrive!

On today’s episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars. This movie was the first adapted screenplay by the Coen Brothers and was called a hillbilly musical comedy adventure by John Turturo. It made Dapper Dan a household name, and turned "Man of Constant Sorrow" into a bluegrass banger for the new millennium. Join us for a scene by scene review of 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?!

**This is a reissue of an older episode in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Jaws, and also to get it back on Spotify because the original was taken down.
Baa Dum. Baa Dum. The movie that made you question even the smallest bodies of water. Jaws launched some major careers in cinema but can it hold up against the test of time nearly a half-century later?? Are sharks as dangerous as they make it seem? Can you put a price on the li...

On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd. A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs. This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don’t belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that life is like a mop. We are of cou...

Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us. It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future. Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other.
HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2. We return to regularly scheduled...

On the exciting conclusion of May of Damon, we are discussing a cult classic that helped launch the poker boom of the early 2000s, inspired millions of dudes to think they could turn $100 into a Vegas bankroll, and gave us the most unhinged Oreo-eating villain of all time. It’s Matt Damon playing a genius again, Ed Norton being a menace, and John Malkovich going full cartoon Russian mobster. We are of course talking about 1998’s R...
