Enter the Ninjamentary

On the gang's first commentary of the year, they are delighted to watch and talk over the Cannon Films classic, Enter the Ninja! Why is the big villain's office clearly in a hotel pool room? How many wardrobe changes does Franco Nero go through in this film? And what is with this hook-handed goblin?

Enter the Ninja stars Franco Nero, Shô Kosugi, Susan George, Christopher George, Alex Courtney, Will Hare, Zach Noy, and Constantine Gregory; directed by Menahem Golan.<...

The Nexus #55 - "Relics" / "Schisms"

On this super-sized, listener-requested episode of The Nexus, the gang, by the luck of the draw, is chatting about two consecutively aired episodes of TNG!

First up, it's the silly and sad return of the beloved Montgomery "Scotty" Scott as James Doohan guests on "Relics." Originally airing October 10, 1992, this episode has Scotty annoying Geordi at work, Picard getting wasted on the holodeck with his new old man friend, Data playing bartender, and Scotty venturing ou...

The Snyder Sessions Part 3: "Mother Box by the Sea"

On the stunning conclusion of The Snyder Sessions, the gang chats about the back nine of Zack Snyder's epic superhero rodeo, including Ma Kent making a "thirsty" joke, Cyborg's vision of a melted Lois Lane, the out-of-left-field addition of Martha Manhunter, Superman slicing and dicing Steppenwolf, and much more!

Thanks so much for supporting our Patreon endeavor. The Snyder Sessions have been a real wild ride. It's okay to like a movie!

Animation Damnation - The Transformers Musical Episode

On this month's listener-requested AD, the guys are chatting about an absolutely dreadful, completely incomprehensible episode of The Transformers, "Carnage in C-Minor." Originally airing October 14, 1986, this episode features a planet of elf-looking creatures that speak only while singing, a staggering amount of totally unknown Autobots and Decepticons, and one robot that wants to force these elves to sing the rest of these robots to death. PLUS: After Steve asks an innocent questi...

The Snyder Sessions Part 2: Paul Schrader's "Aqua Focus"

On the second part of our massive dissection of this cinematic superhero slobber-knocker, we're talking about it all, folks: Vulko being a super-creepy amateur pornographer, Bruce Wayne's cynical sense of humor being the only comedy that works in this movie, the absolutely wild Hot Dog/11 that happens during the Flash's intro, and we even pitch a new, totally awesome, J.K. Simmons-led, Commissioner Gordon HBO Max show that just so happens to also be called According to Jim!

The Snyder Sessions Part 1: You're Being Haunted by a Kryptonian Ghost, Chiiiild!

On the first part of our massive, three-part conversation on Zack Snyder's Justice League, the guys kick off what turned out to be a four-hour recording session! In Part 1, they address the toxicity and entitlement of The Fandom, what Darkseid's posse could've looked like, why villagers would sing a song to a sweater, Steppenwolf's new voice modulation sounding like a broken Wendy's drive-thru radio, the removal of "Icky Thump", that Star Labs janitor's beefier role, and much, much m...

Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story #27 - Hohass Ekwesh

On this month's listener-requested entry in the Gleep Glossary, Eric and the guys all learn about Hohass Ekwesh,  an equestrian-leaning fighter pilot for the New Republic. Did Hohass get to wear a special pilot's helmet? What was with all that multiple brain stuff? What was the dong situation? And was he the New Republic's official morale booster? PLUS: RIP Admiral Ackbar's niece, apparently!

Episode 536 - Goodfellas

How on Earth does a person watch this start to finish and think the film glamorizes mob life? Is it possible to watch this movie without eating Italian food right before or immediately after? And what's everyone's favorite mobster nicknames—Jimmy Two Times? Freddy No Nose? Johnny Roast Beef? PLUS: Sure, Marty love...

MELR0210 #35 - 90210's "Home Again" & Melrose Place's "Peanut Butter and Jealousy"

On this month's trip to So-Cal in the early 90's, the guys bask in the sun and do some shopping as the Walsh's make some crappy moving decisions and the crew over at the Place dodge a gross husband and attend the absolute worst surprise party in history!

First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the season one finale, "Home Again," that originally aired back on May 9, 1991. Jim "Big Guy" Walsh decides he's going to move the fam back to Minneapolis so he can take a cushy job, for...

The Nexus #54 - "The Immunity Syndrome" / "Shades of Gray"

On this month's trip into The Nexus the gang chats about a rad ep of TOS and a totally garbage clip show episode of TNG!

First up on TOS, it's "The Immunity Syndrome," which originally aired back on January 19, 1968. Was this supposed to be a Star Trek chamber drama? Is Bones getting the crew addicted to crank? And why did anyone think that disgusting CGI shot of the shuttle would look cool?

Then over on TNG, a writers' str...

On this month's Gleep Glossary entry, Eric and the guys learn about a major, major, major player in the Star Wars universe, Oola, the dancer at Jabba's palace who gets eaten by the rancor!

Animation Damnation - The Popeye Valentine Special: Sweethearts at Sea

On this month's love-sick AD, the gang is chatting about the totally insane, coke-fueled nightmare, The Popeye Valentine Special: Sweethearts at Sea! Originally airing on Valentine's Day back in 1979, this holiday special features our cartoon favorites going on a sex cruise, Bluto dressing like Francis Ford Coppola, and yes, a shape-shifting sea hag! PLUS: Olive Oyl gets stuck in the Black Lodge!

Episode 531 - Gremlins 2: The New Batch

On this month's WLM, the guys are having a ball chatting about childhood favorite, Gremlins 2: The New Batch! How great is it seeing this puppet work in action? Does Billy have any friends under 65? And what a treat to see that movie theater interruption! PLUS: Anyone else find the restaurant scene rather eye-opening as a youth?

Gremlins 2 stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, John Glover, Robert Prosky, Robert Picardo, Christopher Lee, Haviland Morris, Dick Miller, Key...

MELR0210 #34 - 90210's "Spring Dance" & Melrose Place's "Single White Sister"

Holy moly, it's MELR0210! It's back... in pod form! Well, it was always in pod form, but now it's back and we're kicking things off with a super-sized episode! We're so excited to have you all along for the ride as we continue our journey back to the 1990s and collectively dream of the day when we can hang out on the beach again, visit a Shooter's pop-up, and maybe go for a ride in Dylan's cool car!

Up first on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the penultimate episo...

The Nexus #53 - "A Piece of the Action" / "Peak Performance"

On the first trip into the Nexus of 2021, the gang is chatting about two pretty good episodes of Trek, but only one with tons of hilarious gangster slang!

First on TOS, it's "A Piece of the Action," which first hit the air on January 12, 1968! This episode features the Enterprise crew interacting with a planet of 1920's gangsters, Kirk wearing a fuzzy hat, tons of people saying "heaters," and Spock going nerve pinch crazy!

Then on TNG it's time for war games ...

Episode 527 - Birds of Prey

On this month's WLM, the gang is chatting about one of their faves from 2020, Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey! How incredible are some of the visuals in this film—like that factory explosion?!

Animation Damnation - The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special

On this month's AD, the gang chats about the Disney+ original, The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special! Was this thing crafted to specifically appeal to all these stuck-in-the-past Star Wars fans? Why couldn't they throw some more lines to Billy Dee? And is this better or worse than Robot Chicken? PLUS: The biggest problem is obviously taking out all the cocaine-related energy from the original holiday special!

Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story #25 - Mr. Bones

On the first GG entry of the year, the guys learn about the totally idiotic droid, Mr. Bones! How crappy must it have been getting attached to Snap Wexley for so long? How bad does this droid smell with all those animal bones on him? And what in the world is with this vibro-blade? PLUS: We all would've been a lot better off if we just talked about the forgotten Sega Saturn game, Mr. Bones!

The Nexus #52 - Star Trek (2009)

On this very special edition of The Nexus, the gang closes out 2020 with a lengthy discussion about the better-than-they-remembered 2009 J.J. Abrams Star Trek. Were the lens flares really that bad? Are we still cool with the Beasties on the soundtrack? And how rad was that Sulu swordplay? PLUS: Bones just throwing around "hobgoblin" in this movie?

Star Trek stars Leonard Nimoy, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Karl Urban, Zoe ...

Die Hardmentary

On this very special holiday commentary track, the guys talk over one of the all-time greats, Die Hard! What's with the burnt, apocalyptic sun at the start of the film? How phenomenal is Alan Rickman in this? You think Mr. Takagi was a good boss? Look at all that casual rail blowing! And after all this, McClane's tipping Argyle like, what? Five bucks?

If you need to re-start or re-sync the commentary, remember that we started the film at 00:00:05 and the commentary itself on ...
