NOTE: There is a slight hiccup early in the episode where it seems to echo the audio for about 30 seconds. Apologies for that but the rest of the episode is fairly smooth. GARBAGE DAY! It's the very first time Nathan & Brendan have recapped a film and its sequel as they head back to the realm of killer Santas with this slasher follow-up! They're not alone though as scream queen/actress/director Jessica Cameron is also there to join the fray. The three of them talk about a whole lot in a shor...

In the first of two Christmas-themed flicks this month, Nathan and Brendan attempt to... well... survive "Surviving Christmas." They go into a lot of background on the film like how it was a colossal box office failure when it opened in October (?), Ben Affleck's character being a total psychopath, the movie being comprised of tons of improv but the one great improvisational performer being completely shortchanged, the character of "Dooda," Catherine O'Hara's very complicated character trajector...

Nathan and Brendan welcome back frequent guest and comic book aficionado Joshua Kotsabasakis for an occasionally super nerdy chat regarding the 1997 Image Comics "masterpiece" - Spawn. The gang discusses everything from Spawn not being a good person even at the beginning of the film, stealthy rocket assassinations, some of the worst special effects ever displayed on film, doctors defying the Hippocratic Oath, the dogged efforts of Martin Sheen and John Leguizamo and much, much more.

It's the return of your favourite slab of turtle meat as Nathan and Brendan talk all things Gamera with his latest foe in "Gamera vs. Gyaos." This is another entry in the insane legacy of Gamera so you know there is tons to talk about including (but not limited to) some of the accent choices by the actors doing the dubbing, the merry-go-round of engineered fake blood, the invisible cows, the epic battle between Gamera and Gyaos getting highly sexual and of course the worst human being in film hi...

Nathan welcomes his brother Gary on as a guest and along with Brendan, the three of them discuss the borderline-community theatre production otherwise known as the low-budget schlockfest, "The Demons of Ludlow." As the gang attempt to regain their sanity, they talk about everything including the director seemingly not even using lights, Sybil the drunken bedroom dweller, death by pudding, the unstable girl obsessed with dolls and the ending that doesn't make one lick of sense.

YO JOE! Nathan & Brendan (as well as special guest and GI Joe diehard Matthew Pettifer) talk all things G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, another horrible attempt at an adaptation of something people genuinely enjoyed.

A mere week after tackling Bad Boys II, Nathan & Brendan open up the mailbag this week for all of your Michael Bay-centric questions (save for one). Does Michael Bay truly care about making films even to this day? What kind of Trailer Park Boys-inspired beverage does he bring to mind? And why is casual racism one of his worst hallmarks? All this and more plus a very special appearance by someone who is very well-endowed. The guys also reveal their next film in the Summer Flopbuster/Lackluste...

Nathan & Brendan dived head-first right into a Disney nightmare wrapped in a romantic sub-plot wrapped in a goofy comedy wrapped in an action epic. That's right, they watched "The Lone Ranger" and boy oh boy, did they ever have some things to get off their chests! The guys talk about everything from one of the most questionable casting choices of the 21st and 20th century, Helena Bonham-Carter's miniscule role being enough to land her on the poster, the unnecessary wrap-around story and the ...

Nathan & Brendan get all patriotic with this very special episode as they unpack the bizarre horror/comedy straight-to-video gem, "Uncle Sam." Many topics are covered including the bizarre magic that surrounds Sam's resurrection from the dead, the script that basically reads as a run-through and the overall insanity of the last 25 minutes of the film in which a seemingly new premise is enforced, brand-new characters are introduced and semi-famous people show up to die. WE WANT YOU... to watc...
