And onwards into 2021, the guys discuss another reboot/sequel many years removed from the original film in the form of Space Jam: A New Legacy. The guys are also joned by resident extreme sports expert Jerika, who tries to help them figure out if the original Space Jam exists in this world as a movie or a real-life event. They also bemoan the lack of any Jock Jams, wince at how incredibly long the actual basketball section of the film is (half of a TWO-HOUR MOVIE), cringe at all the Warner Bros ...

All January-long is reserved to "celebrate" the Worst of 2021 and so the guys start off hot by talking about Mortal Kombat, the R-rated attempt at creating a better version of the 90s flick. Why does the tournament never actually happen in the movie? What's with all the obnoxious shoehorned video game references? Why suck up to the fans this much and yet still introduce a COMPLETELY NEW main character? Is "Arcana" this movie's version of "metachlorians"? All this and more! Check our social media...

Your hosts are on vacation until January so enjoy their segment from back in April on the hugely successful charity event "Livestream for the Cure" run by the wonderful Nicholas Haskins! And yes, they discuss Cool Cat Saves the Kids, a very strange "feature-length" PSA created by the very strange and problematic filmmaker Derek Savage. They talk about how the cat costume can barely move, Cool Cat being the product of bestiality (that's not even a joke, they LITERALLY show his biological parents ...

In an episode exclusively released on Patreon a couple of years ago until this very moment, Nathan and Brendan dive head-first into one of the worst things ever broadcast on television - the Star Wars Holiday Special. In this festive episode, you'll hear all about George Lucas' lies, wookie orgasms, the origins of a much-beloved Star Wars character, all the questionable guest star appearances and much, MUCH more. Next week: enjoy our Livestream for the Cure segment on the baffling "family film" ...

Tis the season! The guys present their Christmas episode with regular recurring Christmas guest Mariah Lirette as they discuss the Disney Plus Exclusive Home Sweet Home Alone. Does this movie really think that making the 'burglars' into a likeable cute family was the appropriate update for this film? Why does the movie keep forgetting that Jeff is a computer genius when he can't figure out simple mechanics? Why does this movie waste nothing roles on so many talented comedians? And could that Dev...

To celebrate 200 episodes of podcasting, the guys talk about Manos: The Hands of Fate, one of the all-time worst and most incomprehensible movies ever made. Despite that, how is this film linked with an Academy Award-winning screenwriter? Is Neil Breen a more competent filmmaker than Harold Warren? How about that incredibly bizarre "jazzy" soundtrack? And if you took out the pauses and awkward stares, would the movie be ten minutes long? Check our social media on Sunday for the Sunday Screencrap...

No, it's not the one with DeNiro and Pacino. Nor is it the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy cop comedy. This week, the guys bring in first-time guest and independent filmmaker Britany Sparrow to discuss the bizarre Burt Reynolds action (?) movie Heat. This movie has everything: it's written by acclaimed screenwriter William Goldman (!) adapted from a William Goldman novel (!!!), Burt says every horrible creepy insult in the first ten minutes of it, the film inexplicably becomes The Karate Kid hal...

Josh is back so you know what that means - another comic book movie! This week, he joins the guys to discuss the "final" installment in the Wesley Snipes vampire saga, Blade: Trinity. What's with all the Deadpool-level Ryan Reynolds ad-libbing? How come it feels so weird to hear Triple H swear? Do MP3s really get people pumped up to fight vampires? Did NO ONE think through the name "The Night Stalkers" before assigning it to the good guys? All this and much more! Check our social media on Sunday...

It's that time of year again - time to fly Air Gamera! This year, Nathan picks the clip show extravaganza Gamera vs. Viras. Did the alien spaceships look like Madonna's Beetlejuice bra or bumblebee butts? Why are these junior scouts allowed to operate a highly deadly submarine without any supervision? Did Misao invent the smartwatch and is Jim secretly Tim Cook? Why were they taking erotic pictures of Gamera? And why did this children's movie have one of the most violent scenes in any Gamera fli...

This week, the guys are joined by a returning guest as Amanda the Jedi swings in to discuss a film that is near and dear to her heart: Twilight. What is this renaissance we're living in and why are we living in it? Stephenie Meyer did WHAT with a real tribe?! Is this the most hilarious romantic dialogue in any movie ever made? How difficult is it to use a ketchup bottle? And of course, the age-old question - why is vampire baseball the single greatest thing to happen on the planet Earth? All thi...

Schlocktober is over so why not transition back to regular flicks with the action/horror hybrid and Chuck Norris vehicle Silent Rage. Galen Howard returns to join the guys in breaking down this absolutely insane movie. Is Stephen Furst playing the REAL serial killer in this movie? Why does the plot seemingly change into a different movie every 15 minutes? How is no one shutting down that hospital that only does illegal medical experiments? And how in the hell does Buford Pusser get mentioned so ...

Schlocktober comes to a screeching halt with this final episode for October as the gents discuss one of the two films directed by creature feature maestro Stan Winston - Pumpkinhead starring Lance Henriksen. Why does Nathan love this movie so much? Why did no other characters check for a pulse after a kid is hit by a bike and clearly still alive? How come Nathan and Brendan can't tell who's who in the mess of adult victims that come to town? Did someone just get STABBED WITH A GUN!? All these qu...

Schlocktober soldiers on as the long-awaited followup finally occurs as Brent from the Home Video Hustle podcast pops in to discuss The Human Centipede 2 with Nathan and Brendan. The film is discussed in all its super gross detail and could this be one of the more angrier appearances from one of the hosts? Shouldn't Martin start off as a somewhat put-upon sympathetic character so we care about anyone in the movie? Why did Brent get angry about something in the film that almost went unnoticed? Ho...

This week, Shlocktober continues as the guys bring back Jason MacLeod to help dissect the driller killer sequel Slumber Party Massacre II. Just how long did the girls take to choreograph that dance number that was solely for their own enjoyment? How cheap are the cheap porn credits? Have you ever seen a slasher finale set to a musical number BY THE KILLER? Are the dream sequences real? And how long will Denny's hold your booth for in the middle of the night?

Surprisingly, Nathan had NOT seen this week's film as a very young child but alas, the guys watched Vamp (thanks to Steve and Izzy for the Listeners Choice pick!) and had some stuff to say - why is everyone turned on by the very bizarre "striptease" by Grace Jones in full kabuki makeup? Do you think Gedde Watanabe was relieved to not have to effect an "accent" in an 80s movie for once? Does this film have one of the worst payoffs to a running bit? And for the love of all that is holy, can we COO...

No it's not the Clint Eastwood one, it's not the singular version of that weird one with Jim Carrey that no one saw and it's certainly not the entire genre itself but the guys DO talk about the Alicia Silverstone straight-to-video 90s "hit," True Crime. Is the title really referring to the murder that surrounds the film or another far more sinister crime? What is with the weird religious themes that pop up from time to time? Do you have to register your mace in California? All this and more in t...

This week, the guys welcome back Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to talk about the Richard Grieco-led spy flick - If Looks Could Kill. Is this movie basically Never Too Young to Die or is it... better? Did Linda Hunt's character murder Wonder Woman for her gold whip? Wouldn't you know before going to your own graduation that you failed high school? Was the villain's evil plan to create something that is a real benign thing today? What is the least efficient assassination metho...

Well... it's come to this. The guys team up with frequent guest Galen Howard to break down one of the most notorious movies of all-time: the Rob Reiner flop, North. Does this manage to usurp The Conqueror and become the new record-holder for most offensive movie covered on the show? How much do you like Bruce Willis? No, seriously - there's a lot of him. How much do kids enjoy references to The Andy Griffith Show, Witness and Bonanza? How about endings that totally negate and render everything y...

It's time for a double dose of Canadian treasure Brendan Fraser! To start off, the guys talk about a mummy movie with no actual mummies, The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. They talk about everything including the fact that this might be Donald Trump's favourite movie, Rick's kid looking roughly the same age as his father, bad fly-fishing, Jonathan's therapist-recommended mummy-theme casino, the yetis and their vast knowledge of American football and much more.

That's right, Nathan and Brendan are joined by returning guest Galen Howard to break down the messy 90s Chuck Norris straight-to-video slog that is Hellbound. The guys break it all down including the Bloodsport-level ADR for one particular character, Calvin's love for food and screaming, they wonder about the lack of lights and abundance of fog, bringing peace to the Middle East, freeze-frame endin...

Summer hits just keep on comin' as Nathan and Brendan dive into the living, breathing culture of Hawaii with a flat, forcefully quirky uninteresting film by Cameron Crowe - Aloha. Joining the guys this week is John Ellis and he has many questions (spoiler alert: not a lot of answers).

Summer Schlockbusters continue with a discussion of a ridiculous Vin Diesel sci-fi actioner, Babylon A.D. Thankfully, Brent from the Home Video Hustle is with them this week but is likely just as confused as your hosts. Together, they talk about the very confusing and convoluted plot, lazy 'futuristic' props and set decor, Gerard Depar-dick, off-screen sex, inaccurate Canadian geography and much more.
