There goes the neighborhood, this week we settle into THE 'BURBS, Joe Dante's darkly comedic satire of middle-class suburban life starring Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern and actor/musician Corey Feldman! It's a film about the danger of having too much time to bum around at home before you could just start a podcast. This movie terrified us when we were young Corey Feldman's age, but how does it hold up now? Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts , Spotify o...

First up, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, the 1990 film directed by Tim Burton, starring then-couple Johnny Depp and Wynona Ryder!

It's Thanksgiving in America, so this week we're hitting the road with PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, the classic comedy by John Hughes! Starring Steve Martin (The Jerk) and John Candy (nice guy, the kind you want to push off a bridge), this movie shows us the world can be a little kinder when we let a stranger into our hearts.

Starring van dyked Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Jay & Silent Bob, Dwight Ewell and a bunch of other Kevin Smith regulars, this movie was notable for portraying queerness on screen at a time when it was still considered risky, making it seem progressive and cool.

Kick off those Sunday shoes, this week we're talking about FOOTLOOSE! Glyn Bowerman of the Spacing Radio Podcast cuts in to cut loose on this classic film about a town that has banned dancing. Stunts involving motor vehicles, those are fine. Starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, Carrie From Sex in The City, John Lithgow, who has had sex in a city, and Dianne Wiest, who more than likely has had sex in a city. Why's everyone so freaked out about dancing anyway? Listen here to find out and don't forge...

Nelson, a bunch of uncredited people's skeletons, Heather O'Rourke, more skeletons, Zelda Rubinstein, skeletons and James Karen.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but those people haven't met THE THING! Directed by the master of horror John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Wilfred Brimley, Richard Masur, some dudes, a dog and a thing, the reception to this film was initially as warm as the Antarctic winds in January. Since, however, it has become one of Carpenters most iconic and beloved films. But how does it hold up in today's cold harsh light? Actor and self-described "Thingiac" Peyson Rock join...

Starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, as well as Christine Taylor, Rapping Granny, and all of Adam Sandler's annoying friends, this movie marries the tenderness of the late 90's rom-com with, well, Adam Sandler's schtick.

Don't touch that radio, this week we're stuck in RUSH HOUR, the 1998 movie that first brought together the versatile fighting force of Jackie Chan with uhh, Chris Tucker.

It's September, which means it's back to school, and your first lesson is on DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, the 1998 teen sci-fi horror starring James Marsden, Katie Holmes and Nick Stahl, as well as Bruce Greenwood and a bunch of other old creepy Canadian people. Set in an idyllic small town where the good kids seem a little too good (if you ignore all the killing), this movie made us question the motivations of everyone, man, it's like they're all robots or zombies of society, Man. But how does it hold ...

This week we stare down the barrel of THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD!

Roll a couple for the road, this week we're flying high on the PINEAPPLE EXPRESS! Starring Seth Rogan as a guy who smokes weed and James Franco as a guy who sells it, this stoner comedy/action film hybrid defied expectations, like a really good hybrid that you feel in your body but doesn't leave you couch-locked. Directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Judd Apatow, this movie helped make Seth Rogan one of the biggest stars of the 2000's to be baked 24/7, but how does it hold up now? Liste...

Macy, Hank Azaria and Janeane Garofalo as the most hopeless superhero team since, uh, Zack Snyder's Justice League. Released in the wake of the Batman & Robin, this movie bombed despite its star studded cast including Tom Waits, Oscar Winner Geoffrey Rush and Pee-Wee. We loved this movie when we weren't saturated with superheros and comic b...

*FLASH* This week we are not talking about MEN IN BLACK, the 1997 sci-fi action comedy starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. You will forget this movie was ever directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, that Linda Fiorentino and Vincent D'Onofrio appear in it. Also, Rip Torn, who you will forget we thought was dead.

With the Whitney Houston documentary Whitney in cinemas, we decided it was a good time to revisit THE BODYGUARD, the 1992 romantic thriller starring Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston, Bill Cobbs, and one of the bad guys from Dumb & Dumber. Also, I think Whitney may sing a song in it! No such luck for fans of Kevin Costner's musical œuvre. It's a movie where duty and passion are crossed like two samurai swords, or maybe a samurai sword and a tv camera-gun. This movie intrigued us as a very adult...

In anticipation of Ocean's 8, the spin-off now hitting theaters, we harken back to where it all began (again) with OCEAN'S ELEVEN! This 1999 Steven Soderbergh heist flick, a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack picture, was a real hit with audiences for its one-two combo of charming movie stars and grand larceny. Featuring Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Bernie Mac and Amal Clooney's husband, this movie had everything (if by everything you mean celebrities and a heist) but how does it hold up now? Listen here ...
