Movie Fighters
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.

Movie Fighters 95: VS The Avengers (1998)
We got tricked into watching this bad movie from 1998. It was a mean trick.

Snack Situation 025: Tim Tam Slams
We got another package from Australia, and it's another set of Tim Tam flavors. But there's a special catch! These ones you can bite the ends off of to sip coffee through them! How's the experience? Listen and learn! Thanks to Lucas Brown for sending them!

Episode 94: VS Thunderstruck
Another month, another movie featuring a present-day NBA star. How will this one measure up against Uncle Drew? (Badly. It's badly.)

Snack Situation 024: Cook Out Milkshakes Pt. 1
Chris, Matt and special guest Ben Gulley tried four of the 40-plus flavors of milkshake at the regional fast food chain Cook Out. Just 36 more to try! At one pound, 1.2 ounces or so each, that's 42 more pounds of milkshake.

Episode 93: VS Uncle Drew
This time, listeners? It's not a fight. We could never harm anything as beautiful and precious as 2018's Uncle Drew.
Feb 26, 2019•1 hr 12 min
Snack Situation 023: McDonald's Donut Sticks
We tried the newest McDonald's breakfast menu item, and found that the name was...a bit misleading. But how does it fare dunked in some McCafe coffee?
Feb 21, 2019•37 min
Snack Situation 022: Rap Snacks
We went to a con in Charlotte and tried eight different flavors of Rap Snacks. Spoiler: They were all pretty good.

Episode 92: VS Tomb Raider (2018)
We're kicking off 2019 by giving one of last year's maligned blockbusters a second chance! Does the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise deserve one? Listen and find out!
Jan 16, 2019•1 hr 17 min
Episode 91: VS The Christmas Chronicles
It's Christmas! So we're watching the new Netflix movie starring Kurt Russell as Santa Claus, and following it down the very surprising roads it takes us (in a red Dodge Challenger).

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and the Christmas Tree Cakes are out! So we're trying all three currently available varieties, plus Christmas Tree Brownies for good measure. Ho ho ho!

Episode 90: VS Equestria Girls Specials 2018
Because you demanded it, we watched the two My Little Pony: Equestria Girls specials from this year, Forgotten Friendship and Roller Coaster of Friendship. One we liked! One we didn't! One even had some answers to our numerous questions! Find out which!

Snack Situation 019: Witch's Brew Frappuccino and More
It's time for spooky snacks, so we went to Starbucks and each got a Witch's Brew Frappuccino, plus we try Reese's Pumpkins, Cookies and Screeem M&M's and Halloween Crunch!
Oct 30, 2018•42 min
Episode 89: VS The Satanic Rites of Dracula
This Halloween, we're giving ourselves a treat. Chris and Matt both love the Hammer Films Dracula movies starring Christopher Lee and (sometimes) Peter Cushing, so they're watching the last of the bunch. How does it hold up against the rest? Find out!
Oct 17, 2018•1 hr 18 min
Episode 88: VS Daphne & Velma
We're getting pre-Halloweeny with this prequel to the Scooby-Doo live action movies (maybe)! How will a movie about Daphne and Velma meeting IRL in high school stack up? Listen and find out!

Snack Situation 018: Sweets from the Philippines
We're finishing up our box from the Philippines this time with the (mostly) sweet stuff!
Sep 13, 2018•40 min
Episode 87: VS Constantine
We skipped Constantine back in 2005 since it didn't really seem like a faithful comics adaptation, and we never watched it back when we were doing movie reviews on ComicsAlliance, for whatever reason. So we're catching up with it now that it's on Netflix. We weren't wrong about how good of a comics adaptation it is, but it does have plenty of merits on its own!

Snack Situation 017: Wild Bill's Olde Fashioned Soda Pop Co.
At Wizard World Winston-Salem last weekend, we loaded up on all-you-can-drink soda from a booth that was offering seven different flavors, all (except the diet root beer) with pure cane sugar. Experience it with us.

Snack Situation 016: Filipino Savories
Listener Patrick Faner sent us A LOT of snacks from the Philippines, and we're trying half of them on this episode! We're saving the sweet ones for later, but all the savory snacks--chips, mostly--are in our sights. A lot of them are...very familiar!
Jul 25, 2018•47 min
Episode 86: VS DC Super Hero Girls Intergalactic Games
Yes, we started a new series of cartoon movies intended for young girls. In particular, this one has some striking similarities to one of the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls movies we watched, so we got out our compare-and-contrast tools to see which one had the edge. This one has Granny Goodness in it, by the way, so it's off to a strong start.
Jul 20, 2018•1 hr 9 min
Episode 85: VS Darkman
We've talked about it for a long time, so we're finally diving into 1990's Darkman, a strange, personality-filled 1990 superhero movie that shares a lot of the DNA of Tim Burton Batman but also has a whole lot of Raimi weirdness and a little bit of Dick Tracy built in, too. Not only does it have a Danny Elfman score, but it's also got Liam Neeson acting buck wild.

Snack Situation 015: The Sun Drop Vessel Test
From Heroes Con in Charlotte, North Carolina, we're keeping it close this time by doing some tests with regional sodas.
Jun 21, 2018•29 min
Snack Situation 014: Jungle Jim's
We went to a snack Mecca in Ohio. Listen as we describe its glory and wonder, then try some local-favorite chips, exotic jerky and assorted sodas. Plus, Matt ruins his mouth with hot sauce.

Episode 84: VS Rampage
It's our second time going to a movie theater for a Movie Fighters and our second video-game-based movie starring Dwayne Rocky "The Rock" Maivia Johnson, as we watch the 2018 blockbuster Rampage for this week's show. Guess what: It's bad! Like, shockingly bad. Marvel as we are utterly baffled by the choices in this movie, including every line of dialogue and the accent Jeffrey Dean Morgan chooses for his character. Also: We recorded this in a hotel room, so sorry for any poppin' p's!
May 17, 2018•1 hr 30 min
Episode 83: VS Hundra
We're wrapping up our run of Faux-nans with a 1983 barbarian movie led by a woman, and that might just rule.
Apr 25, 2018•1 hr 14 min
Snack Situation 013: Ecuadoran Snacks
A listener sent us some candy bars and chips from Ecuador, and we're psyched to try them!
Apr 13, 2018•43 min
Snack Situation 012: Flavored Oreos
Matt lost a trivia contest fair and square, so he has to try some truly gross Oreos. Or are they? See how he liked Hot & Spicy Cinnamon, Cinnamon Bun, Peeps and Red Velvet flavors of a cookie that really shouldn't be messed with.
Mar 29, 2018•28 min
Episode 82: VS Equestria Girls Tales of Canterlot High
Is it a movie? Is it a TV series? Is it an OAV? Whatever it is, we're watching the three-episode Netflix series about the Pony Girls. None of our questions are answered. (Also: Apologies for some poppin' p's. We weren't using our usual audio setup.)
Mar 21, 2018•1 hr 24 min
Episode 81: VS Ator the Fighting Eagle
The series we've lovingly dubbed No-nans is back as we watch 1982's Ator the Fighting Eagle, a Conan ripoff that was at the very least timely, if nothing else.
