It’s week two of our PLANET OF THE APES MONTH as we go into the first of the reboot franchise by going over the 2011 hit that is Rise of the Planet of the Apes! How epic is this movie? Why does this movie’s title feel weird to say? Would this movie have been better with Gary Sinise in it? Is Gary Sinise okay? Is this movie a remake of Deep Blue Sea?

A brand new movie month is here as we bring you PLANET OF THE APES MONTH by going over four films from the franchise in the lead up to the brand new film Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes!

It’s time to close out BAD MOVIE MONTH for another year and we do so with many apologies in advance as we sadly have to bring you the absolute turkey that is Independence Day: Resurgence from 2016. It’s terrible. It’s horrible. So don’t watch the movie. Ever. And probably don’t listen to this episode. Go do something valuable with your life instead. You’re welcome. Have a good day!

What do we think of the child characters in this film? Why don’t we get an original ...

BAD MOVIE MONTH continues with another sequel considered to be far inferior to it’s original, as we switch back to 1997 and go over Speed 2: Cruise Control.

How is this episode filled with so much dumb humour that it is genius? Does this episode do the parody of 24 better than The Simpsons did last week? Should we be call...

Another SPOILER FREE REVIEW coming your way today as we look at a movie that is perhaps a little close to home right now, Civil War! How much do we love this movie? Why do we like the style of this movie more so than we should? How incredible is Kirsten Dunst and should she be in Oscar contention after this? What do we think of the other cast? Do we need to know more about this plot or is it good to leave so much open ende...

Our next BAD MOVIE MONTH is here with another BAD SEQUEL as we move into the movie that killed the Superman franchise for nearly 20 years, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace from 1987. Just how bad is this movie? Is it so bad it’s actually secretly good? Does Christopher Reeve give a very underrated performance in this movie? Why are we glad that some of the Two and a Half Men are in this movie? Do we understand the plot of ...
