Animation Damnation: Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996)

Grab your lukewarm tray of convenience store nachos and novelty-sized fountain soda as we sit down on the ratty couch to chat a blue streak about the incredible animated feature, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America!

Is this one of the best TV show-to-film adaptations of all time? How smart was it to put our two heroes into a Wrong Man-style plot? Wouldn't poor, old Tom Anderson just be better off dead? How great is Robert Stack in this? Not to mention Bruce and De...

Big Daddy Dispatch: Mailbag Reject for December

Hey Folks,


It's that time again...Wherein you ask us a short, direct question to be answered in the Big Daddy Dispatch below and we pick one and answer it! It can be Holiday related if you want as this will be the Holiday BDD... How about that? Not too shabby. Only catch is YOU MUST sign your question with your NAME and WHERE YOU ARE WRITING FROM. That's not too hard, is it?

Can't wait to see what you all ask us!

Episode #831: The Dark Knight (2008, W❤️M)

“It’s like the Empire Strikes Back of Batman films…” - Andrew

On this week’s massive episode, we’re finally talking about one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, The Dark Knight! How amazing was Heath in this? Could these fake Batman losers find some… employment in 2025? Would a drug dealer slinging Scarecrow’s Fear Toxin actually have repeat customers? Does the CGI on Two-Face hold up? How awesome is all the vehi...

Episode #830: The Book of Henry (2017)

“I hate how Henry talks to his mother, it sounds like he’s dating her” - Eric

On this patrons-only We Hate Movies episode, we’re finally discussing one of the most requested titles in show history, The Book of Henry! How terrible is this story trajectory? How obnoxious is the titular Henry? Why was this the only way forward this supposed kid genius could think up to solve this problem with the neighbors? How depressingly wasted...

Episode #829: Rear Window (1954, W❤️M)

“It looks amazing.” - Eric on the production design

On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off We ❤️ Movies Month with a ridiculously silly discussion about Alfred Hitchcock’s masterful peeping tom thriller, Rear Window! How gorgeous and meticulous is this set design? How hilarious is Raymond Burr’s dye job? How on earth is L.B. Jefferies ignoring Lisa’s advances this much, murderous neighbor or no? An...

The Nexus #110 "The Slaver Weapon" / "The Mind's Eye"

It's the October '25 edition of our long-running Star Trek re-cap show, The Nexus!

First up on TOS:TAS, we're talking about the dull, lazy, awkwardly-titled episode, "The Slaver Weapon"! Originally airing December 15, 1973, this episode is a rare gem indeed, in the sense that it's an entire episode featuring the TOS crew where Captain Kirk doesn't appear! That's right! He's not even mentioned! Instead, we've got Spock,...

Gleep Glossary #82 - Warmaster Tsavong Lah

Could Tsavong Lah have been a leader of Orcs, what with his visage resembling a handsome orc? How many times did this guy try to foil the Solo kids? Do these creepy gleep-glop Yuuzhan Vong belong in the Star Wars universe? How gross is this dude's body horror body armor? And how far can you get into this episode before your brain s...

Episode #827: Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

“It’s kind of a ghost-Jurassic Park opening!” - Steve

On this week’s episode, our 2025 Halloween Spooktacular continues as we dive into some early-aughts horror while chatting about the 2001 remake, Thir13en Ghosts! First off, how incredibly stupid is this official title? Why did they need to give those ghosts dumb ghost names? What kind of sick person would actually be excited to live in a house like this? And why did the prod...

Animation Damnation: Toxic Crusaders - "The Making of Toxie"

Grab a mop and some air freshener because on this month's Halloween-adjacent Animation Damnation, we're talking about the disgusting cartoon adaptation, Toxic Crusaders!

We're starting at the start, episode one: "The Making of Toxie." Originally airing March 1, 1991, this is the episode that kicks things off like the first film, with hopeless Melvin being humiliated at the gym and thrown in toxic waste, only to become Toxie (we're not saying T...

On this week’s episode, our Halloween horror movie marathon is just getting started as we chat about the 2007 Rob Zombie remake, Halloween! Why are we taking an hour to get adult Michael back to Haddonfield? How great is younger Loomis’s hair? Couldn’t we have gotten a bit more Brad Dourif peppered throughout the picture?

Friday the 13thmentary Part 2

On our latest Halloween-time commentary, we’re talking over the silly, smash-hit sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2!

Released in 1981, and set in a futuristic 1985, five years after the events of the first film, this is the one where some counselors are coming to Crystal Lake to train for an upcoming, fun-filled summer season, when a somehow-still-alive Jason, wearing a potato sack over his head, starts picking them off one by one!
