We have arrived at the penultimate entry in the Final Destination series on our 31 Days of Halloween celebration, the definitively titled The Final Destination . We’re doing some racing, some racism-ing, and some rock-throwing as a car race gone wrong sends our gang of death-cheaters into the clutches of a vengeful grim reaper determined to put them on the slab. This may not be the best entry in the series, but, oh, how I do love that drain scene! If you’re not there already, join the discussion...

Our latest movie in the 31 Days of Halloween celebration is another in the let’s-take-a-few-pages-from-this-thing-and-make-a-movie-about-it genre, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines . Do we actually need this much lore in a Pet Sematary movie? How come Jud never told Louis Creed about any of this? And what were he and Manny fighting about again? All these questions largely left unanswered as we return to the burial grounds and see what film emerges from its hellish burial… If you’re not there already, joi...

The second week of our 31 Days of Halloween celebration kicks off with a look at the recent vampire-on-a-boat tale, The Last Voyage of the Demeter .

We are wrapping up our journey through the Subspecies series with the latest entry, Subspecies V: Blood Rise , a movie that came out this year if you can believe that! Despite the downward trend in the later sequels, Blood Rise proves that you can actually care a little about our resident drooling vampire, Radu. It also gives some opportunity for series regulars to stretch… Wait, could this movie be good? Join me for more 31 Days of Halloween and find out! If you’re not there already, join the d...

As part of our 26th season of Pick Six Movies, Domo Arigato, we are looking at six movies all about robots. For our second episode of this season, we are venturing into deep space with quippy robots, unclear protagonists, and a crazy German intent on defying the very laws of science and good movie-making. That’s right, it’s Walt Disney’s first foray into PG filmmaking, The Black Hole ! 00:00:00 – 00:01:58 – Welcome to the Show with Chad 00:01:59 – 00:23:23 – Exploring The Black Hole ‘s Productio...

It’s a new season of Pick Six Movies, and we are getting cozy with our future robot overlords. We’re looking at six movies all about robots and what better place to start than with a movie that almost no one has seen, 1981’s Heartbeeps ! How could a movie starring Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters with music by John Williams be this big a stinker? Is Andy Kaufman-bot ready to be a father? And is the movie really just wandering in the woods? These questions and more answered on a new episode! 00...

Season 25 of Pick Six Movies is called Holiday Road, a season all about the joy of the road trip. And now we slam on the brakes to pick up this unwelcome traveler, 2007’s make of The Hitcher from the goons who did remakes of The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre . And it’s just as dumb as it sounds. Let’s ask the burning questions: Is Sean Bean too handsome to be a hitcher? How much can one girl poop? And how does this movie make every bad decision it can?

Hey there, fellow travelers! In a rare bit of good movie-watching, Pick Six Movies heads to the American Southwest with Ridley Scott and Thelma & Louise . It only took us until season 25, one we’re calling Holiday Road, to get to a legitimately great film. We have traded in the usual dumb voices for some genuine appreciation. We talk about why the movie works as well as it does, how great the lead performances are, and, of course, some talk about Harvey Keitel’s penis. Join us, won’t you? 00...
