Hey everyone, here's the latest episode! This was a movie recommended to us by Tyler on Patreon. Neither of us had ever seen this movie before so we figured it would make a good episode. We also talk about two other movies that director Steve De Jarnatt was involved in: Strange Brew (1983) and Cherry 2000 (1987). Enjoy!

Hey everyone, here's the latest movie catch-up! This ended up being a milestone episode for two reasons. One, it's probably the longest and most diverse list of films we've ever discussed on an episode. Two, we probably got the angriest we have ever been discussing a movie on the show, which was one sent to us by one of you kind Patrons.

This one kinda flew under the radar due to its release getting pushed back after 9/11 due to a plot element centered around hijacking an airplane.
Still, it's an enjoyable film with a great cast that we had a lot of fun revisiting and discussing for you. Let us know your thoughts on this movie below!
Here’s the special treat I pulled out of storage for our latest episode. Did any of you have these action figures growing up? I doubt they sold well.

Hey everyone, we were hoping to record our episode on Wild Wild West last weekend but a snow storm on the East Coast derailed our plans. We wanted to give you something for this month though so here's something we recorded a few months ago where Ryan & I go through some bizarre VHS tapes I had in storage from my childhood. This inspired a variety of discussions including; Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, the cinema of Yahoo Serious, the 1960's Three Stooges movies, Tom Green, Roberto...
