Ah, sex comedies of the 80s. Truly they were an interesting breed. This week, the guys talk about the sex comedy Zapped! starring real-life creep Scott Baio and Willie Aames. The guys break this one down and talk about Scatman Crothers' salami fever dream, the Carrie ending with all the boobs, all of the sex crimes perpetrated by our protagonists, the movie not understanding telekinesis and much more.

It worked the first time so let's do it again but this time... crappy. Yes, folks - the guys discuss Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, a truly baffling sequel to a huge movie phenomenon. They ask the question... in the world of this movie, is the first film just a movie? Or ACTUALLY a documentary? And if THIS movie is a "re-enactment," why do the actors need to be playing characters with the same first name? How much do real Wiccans hate this film? Plus - Nathan explains the Secret of Esrever.

Fight the power! The first power, that is. Yes folks, it's a film about Lou Diamond Phillips fighting a body-hopping demon... sort of? Nathan and Brendan try to wrap their minds around The First Power starring LDP in a ridiculous jacket and featuring the least organized stakeout in movie police history, people just barging into homes without reason, a horse outrunning a car, an amazing fight scene involving a bag lady and much more. Next week: an ill-advised sequel. What We've Been Watching: Wic...

Spooky season finally kicks off with a discussion about the Scream knockoff starring Alicia Witt and Jared Leto. Yes, it's Urban Legend... a movie that asks: how much can we rip off from another movie without being sued for plaigarism? The guys talk about the killer reveal that makes no sense, the urban legends that were clearly created solely for the film, campus radio rules, Brad Dourif's tragic character arc and much more.

This week, it's another doozy as the guys talk all about Artemis Fowl, a movie so rotten that eventually even Disney+ gave it the heave-ho... and it belonged to them! Anyway, they discuss how different it is from the source material, the nightmarish jaw-unhinging, the very unlikeable main character, Judi Dench's performance and much, much more. Die Hard with fairies? OK. Next week: Schlocktober begins with spooooooookily-bad movies! What We've Been Watching: Strange Darling Monkey Man Patreon: w...

This week, the gang is back... and they've brought along Galen Howard to discuss the 1995 Pulp Fiction wannabe (and also starring Quentin Tarantino!) Destiny Turns on the Radio. They talk about all the pseudo-spirituality nonsense, getting pregnant via dream-assault, Jim Belushi touching himself, the electrified swimming pool portal and much more.

It's the fifth Thursday so you know what that means... Yes, it's time for another Small-Screen Shameful but this one has people you know like Tyrese Gibson and John Malkovich so how can it be bad? Yes, Nathan and Brendan talk all about Prime Original Rogue Hostage aka Die Hard in a Wal-Mart. After the 148 production company logos fade and the film can begin, the guys discuss Malkovich looking surprised for the entire runtime, characters changing their motivations on a scene-to-scene basis, the k...

If we were going to do an episode on Star Trek: The Motion Picture, we had to find the two biggest Star Trek nerds that we know: Ben Gillcrist and Jason MacLeod. Join the foursome as the hosts marvel at the aforementioned guests' encylopedic knowledge of the source material in a discussion of this huge movie.

It's like Die Hard for kids but Patrick Stewart is there and it's also kinda like Hackers but... not as smart? Yes, it's 1997's Masterminds and Nathan and Brendan discussed it this week. While Brendan stans hard for Brenda Fricker, Nathan points out all the non-lethal violence in a movie with a whole lot of guns. They also discuss taxi radios, the insane opening hacking sequence, the lead character doing serial killer stuff and much more. Next week: A big nerd-fest full o' nerds. What We've Been...

Folks... sometimes (but not often) Clint Eastwood tried his hand at comedy and this is indeed one of them. The guys discuss Clint teaming with Bernadette Peters to fight white supremacists (!) in the light(?)-hearted comedy, Pink Cadillac. There is much to behold here from Clint's goofy character work, the delightful Bernadette Peters being good at everything, the whole thing working better as a sitcom (don't steal our idea, TM TM) than a 2-hour PLUS movie, the Jim Carrey cameo and much more.

Our wonderful patron Megan Miller demanded it and so we acquiesced! The guys celebrate Christmas in July by discussing I Believe in Santa, a movie that seems like it could become a serial killer movie at any given moment. They also discuss how this is somehow not a Hallmark movie, Tom being an unhinged psychopath, the flirting with a Christian movie, the token minority characters that only exist to prop up our love interests, a blood feud between an adult and child and much more.

The guys finally tackle the notorious flop and the film that made Sean Connery quit acting - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Joining the fellas is Nathan's Jason in the form of Ben Gillcrist, history buff at large. After Ben talks about his frustration with the historical inaccuracies, the guys also discuss Alan Moore's strategy at detaching himself from adaptations of his work, Mina Harker being reduced to a side character, Dorian Gray having old man qualities, the incredibly fake explos...

Listeners Choice Month FINISHES with a... BANG! Capping off this month from Hell, the guys talk about the Tori Spelling Lifetime movie Co-ed Call Girl, a movie that's about as sexy as a bowl of lentil soup.

Listeners Choice Month continues! In this week's episode, the guys suffer for your pleasure! They endure the 137-minute (!) Christian propaganda/hockey romance/dissertation movie The Genesis Code. Oh, you've never heard of it? Of course you haven't! This film has got all you desire though like a ONE-HOUR scene where characters just explain the Genesis Code (the theory), an evil academic advisor tells people to cool it with all the God talk if they wanna make it in the world and big-name actors? ...

Listeners Choice Month continues! In this week's episode, the guys are "treated" to the kangaroo/martial arts/YA (?) movie Warriors of Virtue. This is a mystifying movie in many ways but the guys dive deep into the story arcs that are abruptly dropped, Angus Macfayden's amazing and highly sexual performance, the jumpy slow-motion used in EVERY fight scene, the kangaroos themselves having no personalities and much more. Plus: Brendan reveals a sacred childhood connection to the movie. Next week: ...

Listeners Choice Month! It's one of the most special times of the year in which we turn the book over to YOU, the listeners! Starting off this whirlwind of a month is 2012's Peter Berg Hasbro epic BATTLESHIP starring Taylor Kitsch and a quick dash of Liam Neeson. Why DID they make a movie based on a game like this? Does a burrito become a major plot point right up until the end of the film? How does one get promoted to lieutenant in 48 hours after joining the Navy? Could the aliens look worse? A...

Jason MacLeod joins the guys this week to talk about Blackbird - the Michael Flatley (yes, of Riverdance) vanity project. They talk all about Flatley's unfathomably bad, static, hilarious and insane performance, Eric Roberts drunkenly slurring all his dialogue, the obscene amount of hats, the most boring card-playing scene since Poker Face (the Crowe one) and much more. ...

In the second part of our Liam Neeson spectacular, the guys shift their attention to Taken 3 (or Tak3n if you were a part of the stupid marketing team). It's a movie that asks the question... what if we just didn't take anyone? You can blame Liam Neeson for that and his weird-ass contract. But in regards to the movie, they also wonder what is up with Forest Whitaker's hands business? How stupid is Bryan Mills in his everyday life? Should you ever tamper with bagel evidence? Plus: a deep dive int...

In a first-ever for the boys in Thinking Town, Canada... this is the first of a Taken twofer. That's right - starting off this week with Taken 2, a film that asks the question: do you want to see it again but not as good? This film has everything from Bryan's daugher Kim using grenades like sonar devices, Bryan's sewing circle of friends who dish way too much, some of the worst fight choreography you'll see in an action film and much more.
