Chris Sims and Matt Wilson love movies. The kinds you would pick up on VHS on a Friday afternoon and have to watch that weekend, no matter how terrible it was. They also love to hate them. Movie Fighters is a celebration of that. Each episode, they watch a movie, recap it, and try to make sense of it. They often don't.
We're back and we're kicking off what may be March Mattel Madness with 1987's live-action Masters of the Universe movie, starring Dolph Lundgren! Our take: It ain't as bad as you think, though it's a horrible adaptation of the cartoon. Skeletor is pretty rad, though. Watch along with us on YouTube!
We're wrapping up Rapper/Actor Right Back Atcha with 2010's Gun, a movie that not only stars Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, but was also written by the illustrious rapper! It surprises us in a lot of ways, but they're not all positive. Val Kilmer proves to be great at being terrible, the plot is thin at best and a few characters speak as if they are robots! Watch along with us on iTunes or Amazon if you dare!
We did it, everyone: We managed to continue Rapper/Actor: Right Back Atacha and celebrate Valentine's Day all in one show! The movie that helped us accomplish that mission? The 2000 Jet Li/Aaliyah romance(?) film Romeo Must Die (which also features DMX). But is it really a romance film? Well, that's debateable. They don't even kiss, which was the basis for some controversy. What does happen is that Jet Li controls Aaliyah's body at one point to beat up a motorcycle lady. There's also a lot of st...
Rapper/Actor: Right Back Atacha continues with this 1998 "comedy" starring Master P! We go in coming to the troubling realization that this movie could essentially be a 93-minute rap album skit, and, well, we're not altogether wrong. That means there's all the incumbent bad taste and plenty of just plain wasting time. Watch along with us on Netflix if you dare.
It's a new year and time for a new series on Movie Fighters! We're starting off 2016 with our long-awaited series of movies starring rappers, and we decided that a great kickoff would be the time-appropriate Ice Cube (and Xzibit) vehicle XXX: State of the Union! One of us liked this dumb, dumb movie with a overcomplicated plot more than the other. Try to guess which! You can watch along with us on Netflix, too!
It’s Christmas week, and we’re watching the brand new Miz Christmas movie (in a budding Movie Fighters tradition), Santa’s Little Helper! Unlike 2013’s Christmas Bounty,
It’s December, which means it’s time for us to dive into some holiday films!

We’re wrapping up our series of pulp films with 1996’s The Phantom, a film that both of us remembered seeing, but neither of us really remembered.
We’re back with another pulp-inspired movie! We’re watching the 1994 Alec Baldwin vehicle The Shadow, and it does not go well.
We’re back with another pulp-inspired movie, and this time it’s a movie both of us were extremely excited about as children: 1990’s Dick Tracy!
We’re kicking off a new series here on Movie Fighters, our long-awaited series of movies based on pulp characters!
Our palate cleanser after the marathon that was all four Left Behind movies is 2015’s Russell Madness, and, well, we probably could have chosen better.
We did it. We finished the Left Behind series, and it goes out with a bang. That’s right: We’re watching Left Behind: World at War.
We’re back with the next film in the Left Behind franchise, and well, it’s a trial. A tribulation, you might say.
We’re back with our look at the movie adaptations of Left Behind! This time out, we’re watching the version that stars Nicolas Cage.
The end times are here, because on this episode, we’re watching the Kirk Cameron-starring adaptation of Left Behind from 2000!
After a short break, we’re back with a return to our roots, reviewing a movie based on a fighting game.
After some grueling listener demands, we’re stepping up to watch one of our favorite movies of all time: RoboCop!
We have come to the end of our listener demands, and our last one is a doozy.
We’re coming to the end of our backer demands, and this week, we’ve got one of the craziest movies we’ve ever watched: 1977’s Black Samurai.
