In Chapter 4 of The Mandalorian , Mando tries to hide out on a peaceful farming planet, but ends up teaming up with ex-Rebel badass (and real-life trash person) Cara Dune to teach clueless villagers how to fight off raiders with a terrifying AT-ST. There’s bonding, training montages, and a romantic subplot that goes nowhere because Mando’s married to the helmet. In the end, our heroes realize there’s no rest for the helmeted, especially with a 50-year-old toddler in tow. Get a lot more Worse P...

This week, we are joined by our Month of Action compatriot and friend Dustin from Flick & Friends , B-Action and The Barrens Hideout ! Directed by Renny Harlin and starring Saffron Burrows, Tom Jane, Sam Jackson, LL Cool J, and Stellan Skarsgard, Deep Blue Sea tells the tale of Dr. Susan McAlester, who is working on a cure for Alzheimer’s.

This month's Patreon-exclusive Mental Health episode is tied to another episode, Deep Blue Sea . Both are directed by Renny Harlin (possibly his two best films) and both feature Sam Jackson! Geena Davis, playing Samantha Caine, is your typical suburban single mom: she bakes cookies, helps with homework, and occasionally has flashbacks of breaking necks and exploding things. Just your everyday PTA member with a mysterious knack for hand-to-hand combat and handling firearms. When the déjà vu gets ...

For this episode we asked Werner Herzog himself to summarize what you can expect. "In the bleak and merciless galaxy, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter delivers his quarry — a small, ancient creature of untold power — to men whose morality is as withered as the dust on their boots. Yet as he watches the infant taken behind cold doors, a terrible melancholy seeps into his soul, for he knows: they do not wish to nurture this being, but to harvest it, like some cosmic veal. Compelled by a code older...

The time has come! In this month's installment of Schlock & Load, Derrick will finally get Jack and Whitney to watch a Cynthia Rothrock movie, 1993's Undefeatable ! She plays Kristi Jones, a martial arts expert, who joins forces with a detective, John Miller, to track down a serial killer who victimized her sister. The acting is bottom of the barrel, with a lot of martial arts students and unpaid locals, but the action is top-notch and the villain is one of the craziest ever committed to fil...

The Electric State is Netflix's most expensive film at $320 million, as well as one of the most expensive movies ever, period.

Joined by a veteran and smuggler named Keats and his wisecracking companion robot, Herman, boredom ensues.

In a follow-up to last year's episode about Batman Forever, this year we're getting into 1997's star-studded turd, BATMAN & ROBIN ! Starring George Clooney, Chris O' Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Uma Thurman, this is Joel Schumacher's second in his planned trilogy of late '90s Batman neon camp. Arnold, as a puntastic Mr. Freeze, is trying to turn Gotham into an arctic region to get revenge for his sick wife, and Uma is an oversexed Poison Ivy, trying to protect natu...

Figuring out what comic book adaptation to do for Schlock & Load is tough when it's a month full of schlock, so we decided to go full-on '80s goofball action with repeat "welcome back" Dolph Lundgren in THE PUNISHER! Pretty much your standard origin story about Frank Castle's family being horrifically murdered by the Mafia, causing him to seek revenge in an increasingly horrific fashion. This one, surprisingly, isn't available streaming, but you can find it on YouTube right here . Get a lot ...

Halle Berry does her best Michelle Pfeiffer here, and it doesn't work at all, in Derrick's opinion. We have Halle Berry and Sharon Stone here, two of Hollywood's sexiest. Yet, this movie is oversexed without being sexy as well as being mystical and magical without any magic, and so full of potholes that I'm surprised we don't have more people falling to their deaths to be resurrected by mystical Egyptian hairballs. We'll get all the way into this 2004 bomb directed by Pitof. That's it... just Pi...

In this entry, a group of would-be counselors converge on a new camp near Camp Crystal Lake under the tutelage of a new head counselor, where they hear the tale of Jason Voorhees shortly before they start dying in jaw-dropping fashion. Spears, knives, boobs, bikinis, horny teens and the franchise's first appearance of Jason's trademark mac...

Watch the movie on YouTube right here! Marvel famously buried this Roger Corman-produced B-movie before it could ever be released, but nerds being nerds wouldn't let it die. An almost finished copy of the film has been circulating at comic conventions via bootleg VHS and DVD copies, and it is also available on YouTube. With the MCU's first foray into The Fantastic Four set to release this summer, we decided to check this one out and found that it might be the best adaptation of Marvel's First Fa...

In 1997, Shaquille O' Neill was on top of the world. He was one of the most famous basketball players in the country, he'd won gold at the 1996 Olympics, had 3 rap records, and a film in which he played a genie titled Kazaam . While the albums and film weren't massive successes, it didn't stop him from jumping on another film opportunity, 1997's DC Comics adaptation STEEL! He plays John Henry Irons, a weapons developer for the US military, who retires after an accident and has to don a suit of a...

After some sci-fi gobbeldy gook, Cage and Travolta swap faces and lives and the heat is on in this classic John Woo action flick featuring some great over-the-top acting from both stars as well as some killer action setpieces including a high speed b...

It's not a secret that Jack loves Brendan Fraser, so his Mental Health pick for this month is 2000's comedic BEDAZZLED directed by Harold Ramis of Ghostbusters fame. Brendan Fraser is desperate to gain the attention of his beautiful co-worker, so he strikes a deal with the Devil, played by Elizabeth Hurley, in which he will exchange his soul for seven wishes. As you can imagine, the wishes don't go well. This feel-good comedy is kind of the definition of a Mental Health movie, so tune in to hear...

With the passing of Val Kilmer, Derrick decided to pivot his Mental Health choice this month to one of his favorite Kilmer films, 1995's HEAT, directed by Michael Mann. The ultimate heist movie, featuring the first on-screen appearance of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro together. It's a very long movie, with no wasted moments, a deep cast, and some of the best sound design that's ever been committed to film.

Whitney has been riding us about seeing WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE for nearly the entire time we've been doing the show, so we're finally getting to it as her pick for Mental Health month! Directed by Todd Solondz, this film follows middle schooler Dawn Weiner as she faces constant harassment and bullying from other students, her siblings, and even her own mother. This film is planted firmly in the mid-90s with a lot of "f" and "r" bombs, but we manage to find our way around it somehow. Get a lot ...

In our first year of the podcast, we did an entire month of Michael Bay films for May and called it "It's Gonna Be Bay". Well, we learned from that experience, which was very trying on our mental health, so we vowed never to do that again. Since then, we have done one Michael Bay movie per year on the last Monday before May, and this year is no exception. We're finally discussing one of Bay's only truly good films, THE ROCK from 1996, starring Sean Connery and a slew of "welcome backs" including...

{BLEEP} sent in this request after he and Jack watched this movie a few months back, so we invited him back on to talk about it. Sinbad and Phil Hartman star in this "wrong man/mistaken identity" style 90's comedy that also served as Sinbad's first starring film role. Sinbad plays a sad sack conman trying to get rich quick who falls into debt with the mob and has to take over the identity of Phil Hartman's childhood friend to hide with Hartman's family in an affluent Philadelphia suburb.

We kick off our first ever Listener Request Month with this one from Ashley, 1997's PERDITA DURANGO (aka Dance With The Devil) from director Alex de la Iglesia and starring Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem. Ashley described it as "if David Lynch and Tarantino had dirty, sexy Tucson baby," and boy, was she right! Murder, mayhem, santeria, an 18-wheeler full of fetuses, James Gandolfini, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, kidnapping and sex. Lots of sex. This is some straight-up madness and we get all the way in...
