Rob Ford: Toronto’s Crack Smoking Mayor Feb 03, 2025

Oh, Canada. Did you know that Toronto had a crack-smoking, foul-mouthed mayor named Rob Ford? And would you believe that this all went down only ten years ago?? This week Justin and Toronto’s own Steve Ward look back at Canada’s most infamous dynasty as the Ford boys, Rob and Doug, get involved in scandal after scandal and try to justify it all on their short-lived YouTube show ‘Ford Nation’. It was the Conservative Jerks vs. the Liberal Yahoos during a time when Canadian politics were tariff-free but drug-fueled.

SPACE MUTINY Jan 27, 2025

It’s a mutiny in space! SPACE MUTINY! The most 70s sci-fi movie to come out of the late 80s. A rip-roaring Star Wars ripoff that’s chock-full of reused footage from a much better Star Wars ripoff, Battlestar Galactica.

Steve and Justin beam aboard the Souther Sun and discover one of the craziest production histories this side of the moon. From a director on their deathbed to locations that look ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like a spaceship, Space Mutiny doesn’t often get it right, but when it does, it usually involves a giant explosion. And that’s just fine in the boys’ book.

SH*T!

BORN INTO MAFIA Jan 13, 2025

We’re back! And what better way to start 2025 than going deep into Vitaliy Versace’s BORN INTO MAFIA.

This Francis Ford Nope-ola of a director tells his sprawling crime drama with no script, no real actors, no authentic locations, or any sense of how movies or time works. But, somehow, he delivers one of the biggest cop-out endings in movie history. Steve and Justin can never get enough Vitaliy and sincerely wish that he lives forever and then that they all die on the same day.

Hope so!!

THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL with Paul Ramsdell Dec 23, 2024

It’s the DISASTERPIECE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!

Starring our special guest, writer/director Paul Ramsdell! With the contractually-obligated Mark Hammil, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher! Featuring a pubescent Wookie, a 100lb rat, too many songs, and a whole bunch of old people!

Join us for the least Star Warsy Star Wars property ever made. That, almost unbelievably, was 50% of the entire live-action Star Wars canon for almost 2 years. This old-school variety show is more interested in farce than the force, and almost torpedoed the whole franchise just as it was getting started. Not even a Stormtrooper could miss the mark this badly.

DOLLMAN-The 13-inch cop Dec 02, 2024

What makes DOLLMAN the most dangerous cop in NYC? He’s a 13-inch alien with the most powerful gun in the universe. This week, Steve and Justin look through the microscope and try to make sense of Albert Pyun’s 1991 sci-fi classic starring the Clint Eastwood of B-movies, Tim Thomerson (TRANCERS). And even if it all comes up short, there are shockingly few dick jokes for a movie about a ‘13-inch man’.

The GEICO CAVEMEN TV Show Nov 25, 2024

Like a dream-within-a-dream, the GEICO CAVEMEN TV SHOW was a 30-minute commercial with ad breaks. Justin and Steve look back at the Nick Kroll starring sitcom adaptation of one of television's most beloved ad campaigns. A sitcom that would also become a part of television history, but for the exact opposite reasons. Was the show just ahead of its time? Did CAVEMEN walk so TED LASSO could run? All the boys know for sure is that it has no business trying to solve racism. Watch the full pilot here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xlt5_nTFx4&t=5s

And so is EVERY OTHER ACTOR in this 80s cop thriller set in the fictional city of Minitropolis. Why? Who cares when you have 90 minutes of kids in mustaches slinging one-liners and fighting crime?

The OfficeMax Reality Prank Show - SCHOOLED Nov 11, 2024

Office Max made a Punk’d-style reality show with The All-American Rejects. Yes. That’s a real sentence. On this episode of DISASTERPIECES, Steve and Justin examine SCHOOLED, the Office Max commercial that pretends it’s an hour-long TV special. Why does this thing exist? Did it actually help a failing school-supply retailer sell more printers? And is it ethical to absolutely torture real school children all in the name of creative marketing? Find out these and more in this perfect time capsule of the capitalistic nightmare of mid-2000s television.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s FLYIN’ RYAN! The terrible family movie brought to you by Heelys, yes the shoes with wheels in them. Actor/comedian Anne Hogan swoops in to help Justin and Steve breakdown a movie where a child literally has the power of flight but no one really seems to care. Concrete answers may be sparse, but giggle fits will be bountiful.

Candy Corn vs Everyone Oct 28, 2024

Candy Corn. It’s sweet, silky, and has been a staple of the candy store during the last THREE CENTURIES. So why does everyone hate one of the best-selling sweet treats of all time? Steve and Justin rip open a bag of the divisive tri-colored devils to get to the bottom of America’s love/hate relationship with Candy Corn… even if it spells doom for their tummies, and forever ruins the concept of ‘edging’ for you.

THE LAST VAMPIRE ON EARTH with Emily Panic Oct 21, 2024

You know what this is. Say it.

THE LAST VAMPIRE ON EARTH. The most egregious TWILIGHT rip-off of all time. Comedian Emily Panic joins the boys and lends some of her paranormal expertise to help break down a vampire movie that arguably might not even have a real vampire in it. And with an IMDB summary like this: ‘A second-hand report of a man vomiting after eating chicken leads a preacher to believe a vampire is afoot. Luckily for the guy, his girlfriend has AIDS which allows him to be spared' You know Steve and Justin are going to need all of the help they can get

GHOST WATCH-The BBC show that scared people to death Oct 14, 2024

The BBC television special GHOST WATCH is unironically amazing—like it’s really, really good. So why are Steve and Justin talking about this paranormal phenomenon from 1990? Because the aftermath of this fake live broadcast is one of the worst and most tragic disasters they have ever covered.

It's a story that has to be heard to be believed. So turn out the lights, get cozy in your glory hole, and if you hear something strange... it's just a British actor accidentally doing a Jeff Goldblum impression...

ALONE IN THE DARK with Hoff Matthews Oct 07, 2024

Hoff Matthews joins the boys in the ring to face off against Uwe Boll’s ALONE IN THE DARK. Is this VERY LOOSE video game adaptation starring the poorman’s Jack Nicolson (Christian Slater) and the poorman’s Christian Slater (Stephen Dorff) really as bad as its reputation would have us believe? Or will the boys be too afraid to criticize it since the director LITERALLY beats up his critics?

Either way, we’re sure Uwe would say: ‘Ihr Könnt mich alle Mal’.

Zune, the Squirting iPod Sep 30, 2024

Better late than never? Not for the ZUNE, Microsoft’s portable MP3 player and self-described ‘iPod killer’ that lost hundreds of millions of dollars. On this week’s DISASTERPIECES, Justin and Steve look back at the brief and not-so-glorious reign of the mp3 player that almost every kid was disappointed to find under the Christmas tree. From the obtuse ad campaign to the unfortunate branding of being able to ‘squirt’ your friends, the ZUNE was pretty much DOA.

Was it actually better than the iPod? Maybe. But it was definitely more righteous than Neil Young’s PONO.

ORDER OF THE BLACK EAGLE Sep 23, 2024

A baboon actor? The craziest stunt ever featured on Disasterpiece? AN OLYMPIC MEDALIST?

It can only mean one thing: the boys are talking THE ORDER OF THE BLACK EAGLE. The wildest, silliest 80s action movie you’ve never heard of.

Listen to the ridiculous story of Duncan Jax, the James Bond-knockoff you didn’t know you needed (featuring, of course, a terrifying cryogenically frozen Hitler) in the best sequel they’ve watched yet.

The Billion-Dollar Fart Cigarette Sep 16, 2024

Losing a million dollars isn’t cool. You know what IS cool? Losing a BILLION.

This week Justin and Steve light up the history of PREMIER, the tobacco industry’s first attempt to create a smokeless cigarette.

Developed in secret for a market that had no need for it, PREMIER was meant to be a healthier trip to flavor country but ended up tasting like something much, much worse.

So sit back, relax, press play, and take a full 30 seconds to light your smokeless cig.

The Lost Hitler Sitcom Sep 02, 2024

Yes, there’s a lost Hitler sitcom pilot from the 90s. Yes THAT Hitler. HEIL HONEY I’M HOME is just as bad and misguided as you think. Does it all add up to much more than some very lazy TV writing? Not even close.

But in a world where you have a better chance of winning the lottery than having your pilot picked up, you won’t believe that HEIL HONEY I’M HOME even exists. And if you thought this guy had a main character complex in real life… just wait until you see him star in his own sitcom.

Foodfight! is the worst movie that Justin and Steve have ever seen. This cannot be disputed. But it can be investigated! Like Dex Dogtective himself, the boys will try to uncover the mystery of how an ungodly amount of money was spent on this Disaterpiece. Was it purposely destroyed by its creator? And how exactly does James Cameron fit into this mess?? If you loved all of the IP in recent Disney offerings, you’ll still probably hate Foodfight!

A movie that solves all of its problems with murder and looks like someone shot a porn but forgot the sex.
