The Event... it's happening... As Schlocktober begins, Nathan and Brendan welcome their guest Lindsay to talk all about one of her favourite good-bad movies - The Happening. It's the first Shyamalan movie on the podcast and probably not the last one. The gang dives into this mess from the ridiculous stilted performances from the most miscast actors ever to the unintentional hilarity of several intentionally-harrowing scenes to several theories about how this damn thing got made. But your hosts a...

This is not what you think it is... Do not worry, folks - The Simpsons did it first! Nathan and Brendan discuss this week's film in the form of our next Patreon Pick from Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies. You've seen all the macho 80s parodies over the years with every major trope including drug dealers, 'assembling a team', ridiculous action movie logic and lines of dialogue that are so cheesy they just make you guffaw and howl with laughter. Well, this... this movie is all of...

Who Framed Roger Rabbit... this ain't! Nathan and Brendan welcome back Drew from the Reel Feels Podcast to talk about the absolute misfire known as Ralph Bakshi's Cool World. This could best be described as Roger Rabbit if all the worst technical decisions ever were made. The guys get into it with a breakdown of the movie's horrendous special effects, the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that completely altered the original intention of the film, the mechanics of what does or doesn't constitute sex...

Swayze is back on the podcast and this time... he is kinda sorta doing an accent. Back to theatrical releases! This week, Nathan and Brendan welcome first-time guest Andy Hamilton onto the show to talk about a wild Patrick Swayze-led film - Next of Kin, a movie which may set a record for the largest amount of insane accents of all-time. From Liam Neeson as a COWBOY (yes, that is correct) to little Ben Stiller not even attempting an Italian accent, this film also features things like fiddle seduc...

It has finally come to this - Neil. Breen. This week, Nathan and Brendan start a new feature (every time there's a fifth Thursday in a month, folks) called Small-Screen Shamefuls focusing on the lower-hanging fruit of bad movies. And what better way to start than with the man, the myth, the legend: Las Vegas architect Neil Breen. The guys welcome back frequent guest Mariah Lirette to talk all about his third feature Fateful Findings and all of its incomprehensible weirdness. They talk about ever...

A different side of John Candy... Nathan and Brendan go back to the 80s with this kinda-obscure oddball comedy featuring a very mean-spirited John Candy and hapless Eugene Levy as bumbling security guards. The guys discuss everything including all the original plans involving Harold Ramis and John Belushi, "killer dogs", the Michael Bay levels of violence in the finale, all of the masterful character actor performances, Meg Ryan's beautiful visage and much more. Plus: Brendan doesn't know the di...

Talk about your late-franchise disappointments... If you ever wondered why the world was blessed with the Andrew Garfield double-dose of Spider-Man reboots, all signs point to this flick - the third Spidey film directed by Sam Raimi. Nathan, Brendan and returning guest Joshua Kotsabasakis break this superhero movie down and discuss how there are too many villains, too many minutes in the runtime, too many scenes focusing on non-superhero stuff, too many actors that are way too talented for this ...

#NotMyMummy Do you remember where you were on that fateful day when the Dark Universe kicked off its wholly successful cinematic universe with 2017's The Mummy to rave reviews? ...what's that? It was a one-and-done that tanked and they never made another film in the franchise? Well, of course it is! It's the final Summer Flopbuster episode! That didn't surprise Nathan and Brendan who wage war against fatigue with this particular film that attempts to erase the fun vibes set forth by the 1999 ver...

Die Hard on a mountain. That's basically what this Summer Flopbuster boils down to as Nathan and Brendan welcome extreme sports expert Jerika back to the show to discuss the 1993 Stallone vehicle - Cliffhanger. This movie is absolutely nuts and the conversation goes everywhere from the special effects looking terrible in high-definition, John Lithgow's accent, the fight scene in the cave, helicopter pilots who double as post-modern artists and much, much more.

'Murica! Next week: The guys drop a hint fo...

Listeners Choice Month concludes with a controversial pick from Mario of Superiority Complex podcast. Nathan and Brendan face an interesting foe when they come face-to-face with Steven Spielberg's Hook. But can a movie directed by one of Hollywood's best and starring the likes of Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts and Bob Hoskins actually be considered a bad movie? The guys discuss all that plus the disturbing fate of Rufio, pirate baseball, some truly wacky cameos, kissing people whi...
