THE LEGEND OF THE TITANIC Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

it’s April and we’re launching CATASTANIC! A month-long exploration of the craziest TITANIC-inspired disasters in pop culture. And we’re starting with the 1999 Italian/North Korean (!) produced animated film THE LEGEND OF THE TITANIC. An animated movie that dares to ask the question: “What if, like, no one died on the Titanic, and it had, like, talking animals, magic moon-beam tears, and a shakr jail n sh*t??”

Come below deck with Steve and Justin as they try to make sense of this DISASTERPIECE and fall in love with the cutest Kraken in cinema history.

Slamball - It’s Basketball With Trampolines Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

IT’S TIME TO SLAM!! This week Justin and Steve break out the knee pads and mouth guards to take a look at SLAMBALL, a combination of basketball and gymnastics that was the greatest hybrid sport since some nerd combined frisbee and golf.

So what happens when you put trampolines on a basketball court? Many people get hurt and viewers like to tune in to watch it once. From its humble inception drawn on a cocktail napkin, Mason Gordon’s SLAMBALL hopes were as high as its acrobatic players. Unfortunately, the grip of gravity is inescapable, and in less than 3 years it all came crashing down. Did the world need or want a new sport? Probably not. But boy oh boy are we happy about the insane highlight reels that will live on forever on YouTube. SLAM IT

FATAL DEVIATION - The ONLY Irish Kung Fu Movie Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

FATAL DEVIATION is the only 100% Irish Kung Fu movie. Starring and Directed by the lean, mean, and green Jimmy Bennet. He’s here to kick arse and chew scenery, and he’s all out of scenery.

Steve and Justin wish you Céad Míle Fáilte as we celebrate St. Paddy’s day a week late with one of our favorite DISASTERPIECES of all time. A movie trying so hard to rip off KICKBOXER and HARD TARGET that its star and creator might as well change his name to Sean-Claude Van Damme.

Get ready for high kicks and low bars as Jimmy Bennet fights his way across County Meath to find and kill the son of the father who killed his father as the father of the son he killed who is also the father who killed his father tries to kill the man who killed his son. He also rides a dirt bike like a surfboard. It rules.

SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

WISEAU. BREEN. VERSACE. DOUG.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, DISASTERPIECE has dredged up another candidate for the ‘Mount Rushmore of Weird Directors’ with Doug Burke’s SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR. This experimental, coming-of-age sports-drama spy-thriller is made up of long surfing montages, 30-minute monologues, flubbed takes, magic sea lions, a real dead whale, conflicting philosophies… and most importantly: squid parts and electricity.

This 10-year Richard Linklater-esque production is truly a one-of-a-kind moviegoing experience, and the boys are losing their minds over it. Wax up, grab your bitch-box, and join Steve and Justin as they confront SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR.

Spike Guys Choice Awards Mar 03, 2025

The Oscars may have been last night, but around here, Award Season isn’t over until the Brass Balls are given out. This week Justin and Steve look back at The SPIKE TV GUYS CHOICE AWARDS—an awards show that honors everything guys love from boobs to breasts. Join the boys as they walk the red carpet and discuss an awards ceremony so dated, crass, and ultimately silly, you won’t believe it aired less than 10 years ago.

Gather the boys. Assemble the crew. And get ready to celebrate the most celebrated demographic on earth: GUYS!

STAR TREK: OF GODS AND MEN Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

Is STAR TREK: OF GODS AND MEN a fan film if the fans who made it are prolific Star Trek actors??

Steve and Justin are going where (at the time of this release) only six Letterboxd users have gone before… Tim Russ’s (Star Trek Voyager) non-canonical Star Trek universe. Can an all-star Star Trek cast including Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, Ethan Phillips, Alan Ruck, and Garret Wang save this low-budget love letter to Star Trek from feeling like the Wrath of Comic-Con? Logic would suggest ‘no’. But it was still good enough to change the rules around what can be considered a Star Trek ‘fan film’.

ON DEADLY GROUND with Rollie Williams (Climate Town) Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

Steven Seagal has finally made it to the pod and Rollie Williams (Climate Town) is back!

ON DEADLY GROUND is not only our first Seagal movie, it’s also an environmentally-charged action movie, and the only movie DIRECTED by the man himself. So the boys called up their own climate badass, Rollie Williams, to fly in and help extinguish this flaming turd.

Is Seagal’s character a good guy? An anti-hero? An ex-navy SEAL? A selfish capitalist? An environmentalist? A firefighter? A Native American? A terrorist? A bear? He’s kinda all of them! And none of them! It’s all as confusing as Michael Caine's hair.

But Steve and Justin can guarantee there are enough nuts shots in this thing to change the essence of a man.

The XFL Feb 10, 2025

Show notes

FOOTBALL meets WRESTLING?? The XFL was created when the WWE’s Vince McMahon looked at the NFL (one of the most successful sports leagues of all time) and said “I can do this better”.

Steve Ward and Justin ‘Red’ Dodd travel back to the attitude era of the early 2000s to intercept all of the info they can find about what was supposed to be the next evolution of American football. But after trying every gimmick in the playbook (comedy sketches, fewer safety regulations, giveaways, ‘tours’ of the cheerleaders’ locker room) McMahon and co. still managed to fumble the ball HARD.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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!
