The Running Man (1987) Feb 06, 2019

Show notes

For our second movie in the extended Arnold month, The Dicks in the Back Row watched the forgotten 1987 futuristic death match head scratcher: The Hunger Games…wait no….The Running Man!

This is truly a one-of-a-kind movie starring two future governors, a hall of fame NFL running back/ civil rights activist, a rock and roll hall-of-famer, and the former host of Family Feud.

The boys are getting straight to business in this episode; there certainly isn’t any wasted airtime, such as the Tennessee Vols basketball team, the 1970’s TV show Columbo, Josh Beckett, John Olerud, or Google searching wrestler names, or movies that feature boats - just hard hitting commentary!

There is plenty to be discussed: How did the government get the footage of Arnold not following direct orders? Why is Jim Brown in this movie? What is up with Richard Dawson’s assistant in this? And speaking of Richard Dawson, he is so good in this movie…that’s not a question, just saying.

This movie is loaded with puns, and the boys are loaded on something else, so sit down, or stand up, or run away because the Dicks in the Back Row are coming for ya!

Commando (1985) Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

The gang is starting Arnold month early with the super violent and steroid infused 80’s classic: Commando!

This is the movie that really started it all for "The Arnold" we all know and love today, and the boys have a lot of questions including, but not limited to: what's with the overall look of Bennett, and why would a movie with Arnold have his main enemy be a flabby, fat Freddy Mercury cosplayer? Why did they cast Dan Hedaya as a South American dictator, and what is up with his accent? How did Arnold and Cindy really find the island, and why does the bad guy's house have multiple boiler rooms?!

There's plenty to be discussed: Hawaiian music, Cream magazine, Helen Keller, a poorly attempted Australian accent, and a cameo by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, so strap on your rocket launcher, and do some extra pushups because it’s about to get real sweaty with The Dicks in the Back Row!

The Town (2010) Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

The Dicks are kicking off the new year with the Boston bank robber hit, The Town. Few things covered include, the strange modern world we lived in when blackberries were king for 1-2 years before the iPhone, how can Clair afford a townhouse in Boston on an assistant bank manager salary? Why do all Boston movies have their lead tough guy drink cranberry juice? Why didn’t Ben Affleck ever call his grandmother in Florida to see if his mom was there? And most importantly, who the hell calls Fenway “The Cathedral of Boston”? It’s just the Massholes in this episode, and a lot of Boston talk will be featured in this one, so sit down, or sit up...doesn't really matter to us, and enjoy the back row's first ep of 2019.

Jingle all the Way (1996) Dec 23, 2018

Show notes

In our last Christmas movie of the month, the gang covered the Arnold movie that no one revisits: Jingle all the Way.

There’s a reason why no one watches this movie…

Few things to cover: Is Arnold the Mattress King of Minneapolis? Can Arnold or Max pronounce Minneapolis correctly? How dumb is Arnold’s family; does his son not know what D-0-L-L means, and why doesn’t the son or Rita Wilson not recognize Arnold at the end of the movie? He is only wearing a visor! Also, how much prison time is Sinbad going to face at the end of this movie? Speaking of prison time, Phil Hartman’s character was way ahead of the #metoo movement in this.

Bunch of dumb stuff in this episode, so make sure you already have your Turboman in hand before it sells out!

Home Alone (1990) Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

In week 3 of our Christmas movie month, the gang cuddled up next to a cozy fire, and watched every families favorite Christmas movie about child neglect in Home Alone!

Preble keeps up with the tradition of having his computer explode on him, but you will hardly notice with everyone screaming over each, other and asking important questions like: Why does everyone hate Kevin so much? If old man Marley knew that he was scaring Kevin why wouldn’t he just say hello? How does Kevin not know how to pack a suitcase, but can easily set up an intricate rope pulling system to go along with various booby traps? And while we are on that topic, why does this family have so many mannequins?

All these questions will be answered to go along with Marv’s high pitch screaming on a new episode of The Dicks in the Back Row!

So get your junior mints, BB gun, and VHS copy of Angles with Filthy Faces ready you filthy animal!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

In week 2 of our Christmas movie month, the boys ruin the Christmas special that you grew up loving: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

You may have read a few liberal Facebook and blog posts about this famous TV special recently, but if you have listened to this show before, you will not be surprised to hear that the gang going way over the top and covering things ranging from homophobia, the Holocaust, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and self-mutilation; t’s everything you ever wanted in a Christmas episode!

The guys also ask: Why does Santa rule a serfdom/fascist state from his super-villain castle, and why does he have an eating disorder in a children’s cartoon? Why do all the singing voices sound completely different? Does being a dentist mean something different in the North Pole? And what happened to Donner after Rudolph takes over as the lead reindeer?

All this and more in a brand new, yellow-snow covered episode of the Dicks in the Back Row!

Die Hard (1988) Dec 05, 2018

Show notes

The boys are opening up their presents early with the first Christmas movie of the month: 1988’s DIE HAARRDD….and yes, this is a Christmas movie. Don’t you worry; the boys will explain why.

Lots to discuss in this episode including: What kind of company holds a Christmas Party on Christmas Eve? What was better the McClain Christmas note on Tony or Hans reading it out loud? Who hired the police emergency line staff? Why didn’t anyone hear all the gunfire on top of the building, and are tables bullet proof? The answer is no.

Lots more are discussed including family matters and extremely inappropriate Urkle commentary, Mcclain’s obsession with a particular female body part, and Snickers bars, so come to the coast and share a few laughs with the Dicks in the Back Row.

Batman and Robin (1997) Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

We wrap up our “Episode of Thanks” month with the movie that destroyed the Batman franchise in: Batman and Robin from 1997.

Boy what a stinker this thing was, and the boys have a lot to cover, including….just the first 10 minutes of this movie in general…and...there's...there's just so much garbage happing that we can’t even get into it here, but we will in the episode, don't you worry about that, so how bout you just download the ep and hear it for yourself.
