#202 - Willow (1988) Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

Before Lord of the Rings ruled the fantasy world, there was Willow (1988)—a tale of wizards, warriors, and what has to be the hungriest baby of all time. Warwick Davis plays a farmer-turned-hero, Val Kilmer swaggers in as a rogue swordsman, and together, they take on an evil queen, sketchy magic, and an angry guy named Kael. It’s got action, adventure, and enough ‘80s charm to make you forgive the occasional awkward blue screen. Is it an underrated fantasy gem or just Diet Lord of the Rings? Let’s grab our magic acorns and find out.

Hosts: James Hauser, Nicole Frier, Bob Hauser, Ryan Farrell (Kids table: Joe Goratowski)

#201 Airheads (1994) Mar 14, 2025

Show notes

When a band can’t get their demo played, there’s only one logical solution—take a radio station hostage. Airheads (1994) follows three starving rockers armed with water guns and zero brain cells as they stumble their way into the most chaotic publicity stunt ever. Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler play the The Lone Rangers (yes, I know), and somehow, they’re still not the dumbest people in the room. Does it rock? Does it bomb? Either way, it’s gonna get loud.

Hosts: James Hauser, Clint Busch, Ryan Mueller, David Hillestad

#200 - Armageddon (1998) Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

What’s the best way to stop an asteroid from destroying Earth? According to Armageddon (1998), it’s training oil drillers to be astronauts. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and a team of blue-collar misfits blast off to save the world with power tools, slow-motion walks, and lots of jump cuts. It’s big, loud, and completely ridiculous—just how Michael Bay likes it. Does it stand up to the test of time? Let’s fire up the Aerosmith and find out.

Hosts: James Hauser, Ryan Farrell, Stephanie Farrell, Jenna Hauser

#199 - Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

Snoogans! Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is what happens when two foul-mouthed stoners go on a cross-country road trip to stop Hollywood from ruining their comic book alter egos.

It’s got everything—cameos, fourth-wall breaks, a chimp sidekick, and more inside jokes than a Kevin Smith fan convention. The plot barely matters, but who cares when the movie is this ridiculous? Is it dumb? Absolutely. Is it hilarious? Also yes. So grab some snacks (you know the kind) and join us for a deep dive into this absurd cult classic.

Hosts: James Hauser, Clint Busch, Curt Mummer, Bob Hauser

#198 - Starship Troopers (1997) Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

Everyone listens to this episode, and no one quits. Would you like to know more? Starship Troopers (1997) is part sci-fi action, part satire, and all-out bug-squashing ridiculousness.

The future is bright if you love propaganda, giant alien insects, and soldiers who look like they just walked off a soap opera set. It’s got over-the-top action, questionable military strategy, and dialogue so stiff it has to be government-issued.

#197 - Vegas Vacation (1997) Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

The Griswolds are back, and this time, they’re taking on Sin City. Vegas Vacation (1997) throws Clark, Ellen, and the kids into a whirlwind of bad bets, worse luck, and Cousin Eddie being… well, Cousin Eddie. Clark gets hooked on gambling, Rusty turns into a high-rolling con man, and somehow, Wayne Newton tries to steal Ellen. It’s chaotic, ridiculous, and proof that maybe the Griswolds should just stay home.

#196 - The Fast and the Furious (2001) Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

It started with DVD players and street races—who knew it would lead to cars in space? The Fast and the Furious (2001) gave us 4 minute nitrous-fueled drag races, and Vin Diesel growling about family before it was a meme. Paul Walker plays an LAPD officer trying to bust a gang of high-speed criminals but ends up in a bromance with Dom Toretto instead. It’s got muscle cars, bad decisions, and dialogue that shifts harder than a tricked-out Civic.
