"Good Will Hunting" won the Best of Matt Damon category among Shat The Movies, and we can see why. Damon didn't just star in the movie, he co-wrote it with Ben Affleck when the two were just a couple of fresh-faced actors.
This ode to Boston showed us Robin Williams' dramatic side, which we later realized was tragic foreshadowing, and it introduced us to a young Casey Affleck before his sexual harassment scandal.
To Kerri Gross, "Good Will Hunting" is a moving emotional journey. To Dick Ebert, it's the greatest film Shat The Movies has ever reviewed. To Gene Lyons, it's a brilliant collection of improvised scenes that he predictably wishes were darker.

"Groundhog Day" is the rare movie that became more important than the holiday that inspired it. Many believe it's Bill Murray's greatest work, and Shat The Movies listener Greg has watched it again, and again, and again, and again.
There's always something new to discover in this '90s classic movie, even if you've seen it hundreds of times -- like the fact Phil Connors could be a sexual predator.
In this episode of Shat The Movies:
So put on your winter clothes and meet us in Punxsutawney, it's time to do the Pennsylvania Polka!

"The Last Boy Scout" is a movie by dirt bags for dirt bags. Producer Joel Silver is a dirt bag who cast his girlfriend as a topless chick in "Die Hard" and never gave her film credits. Bruce Willis plays a disgraced Secret Service agent who appear to be a dirt bag private investigator. And Big D is a dirt bag who loves this movie and cheated on every girlfriend he ever had. But not his wife.
Shat The Movies co-host Gene's a dirt bag who dated a trailer park stripper. Co-host Roger is a dirt bag who doesn't know how commas work. And they all agree that everyone's been cheated on. This episode's a dark podcast for a surprisingly dark movie.
You can thank listener Edwin for commissioning this morally bankrupt podcast.
The movie's opening montage is painfully and perfectly '90s. The opening football sequence is a bizarre use of Billy Blanks, and it just gets weirder from there.
Willis and Damon Wayans struggle to decide who the movie's funny man is, while we all know the real clown is Wayan's wardrobe. And all the while Big D insists Hallenbeck and Dix are among film's greatest buddy pairings.
Oh, and we settle the question of who's the biggest badass: Joe Hallenbeck or John McClane.

Thanksgiving is a holiday like no other: We don't buy presents. We don't wear costumes. We don't party all night. We just bring our family and friends together to share a meal and reflect on our blessings.
"Planes Trains & Automobiles" is a rare movie in many ways: It's a comedy that makes you cry. It's a John Hughes movie without teen stars. And it's one of the few movies we can think of that celebrates Thanksgiving, one of the most underappreciated holidays on the calendar.
Steve Martin and John Candy created something special that impacted each of the Shat The Movies crew in a different way. Big D immediately hugged his wife and felt a deeper appreciation for life. Gene reflected on his verbal cruelty and picking apart other's weaknesses. And Roger gave thanks for modern technology and improved business travel.
We dedicate this podcast to Roger Roeper's late father, Ronnie, who can't make it to the table this Thanksgiving. Be thankful for your loved ones this holiday season. Tell them you love them. Cherish your time together.
With love,
Gene, Kerri, Roger, and Big D

Disney's "Tron" digitally dazzled the world as revolutionary work of art: the identity discs, the concept of a computerized world, and visuals that to this day haven't been replicated in their inventiveness and effort.
But one thing sets movies apart from other optical art forms: The Story. And when you read Tron's narrative files, some border on corrupt.
On this podcast, three grown men who worshipped Tron as boys revisit Flynn, Sark, Lora, Dumant, light bikes, solar sailers, the I/O Tower, and the Master Control Program.
Big D brings his Tron toys out to play. Roger questions the sexual undercurrents of the film, and Gene gets just plain mad at the spaghetti bowl of a narrative Disney threw together.
Find out how Tron's artists got those amazing glow effects, why Jeff Bridges was the only actor forced to wear a loin cloth, and how Roger manages to bring religion into even this childish technological tale.
The proof is in the printout.

Everyone has that phase they'd rather not talk about. For some, it's when they wore JNCO jeans. For others, it's when they thought that two-tone ska tattoo was a good idea; or when dating skaters seemed cool.
If the 1990s were a woman, Steven Seagal would be the phase she wishes she could forget.
But we're braver than that, so we're diving into his best work, "Under Siege," to see if there's anything we can salvage from the murky depths of bad action flicks.
Big D, Roger Roeper, and Gene Lyons also cover masturbating to Cher, stealing tags from lingerie, Gary Busey's magnificent insanity, proper bomb-making, proper accent usage, and improper ways to treat young actresses.
Ponytails, a peacetime military, horrid costuming, and the worst Navy Seals since Panama are pitted against hilarious one-liners, charming Tommy Lee Jones, and bizarre fight sequences in this clear "Die Hard" ripoff.
Seagal sucks at fighting, movie posters, and telling the truth, but we can't entirely hate him. Find out why in this swashbuckling edition of Shat the Movies, and stay tuned for a super sexy Shatout from Gene.

There isn't a soul in this world or the next who doesn't love "Beetlejuice." It's Michael Keaton at his best. It's Tim Burton at his best. It's Geena Davis at her best. It's Alec Baldwin at his handsomest. And it's the role that made Winona Ryder's career (sorry, Stranger Things).
Beetlejuice is everywhere each Halloween season, which makes it easy to watch the movie without really WATCHING it. Well, we did. And we've got a few things to talk about:
This one starts a little slow, but man does it get going. It's SHOWTIME!

"Pet Sematary" might be Stephen King's biggest '80s movie hit, but is it any good after 30 years? That depends on whether you value good moviemaking over good writing.
Find out what The Ramones had to do with getting this movie made, why you shouldn't let your cat outside, when it's safe to picnic in Maine, why Fred Gwynne sounds like a '40s detective, and why Cemetery is spelled Sematary.
Kerri Gross, Dick Ebert, and Gene Lyons also cover:
How did nobody call PETA on this one? Was this the first actually scary movie we reviewed? Who the hell edited this thing?

"Friday the 13th" changed the world of horror movies when in debuted in 1980, picking up the slasher flick genre where "Halloween" left off. The cast's biggest star was an unknown Kevin Bacon, and the budget was a measly $550,000. With that, "Friday The 13th" made Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhees, and "Ki ki ki, ma ma ma" household names.
King Bee guest hosts this episode of Shat The Movies as we compare cultural appropriation with cultural celebration, discuss checking dog dicks to address them by the appropriate title, learn how to jump out of moving cars, and weigh the challenges of strip Monopoly.
Find out why Kerri Gross had to delete the Uber app, why good things are good, how King Bee rescued a 2-year-old girl on his 21st birthday, and what really happens when you're decapitated.
The Shat Crew also examines why one "Friday the 13th" character sleeps all the time, the merits of sex while wearing shoes, and why Wes Anderson should be tapped for the next "Friday the 13th" movie.
Also, Kerri once pulled the wings off a butterfly.

Halloween is in the air, and the Shat crew is ready to get spoopy! Forty years after "Halloween" introduced America to Michael Myers and one week before Jamie Lee Curtis returns in the 11th installment of the series, we examine the original to see if it holds up.
Big D explains the "Star Trek" origins of the Michael Myers mask and questions the reality of babysitter sex. Gene dives deep into the history of Judith Myers' boobs. And Kerri Gross asks just how far a man can carry a 150-pound headstone in one day.
Other lessons learned from the 1978 "Halloween" include: strip off your clothes if you spill butter, always check the back seat of the car, never rely on children to help you in a crisis, assume small-town sheriffs are useless, don't exit your vehicle if mental patients are roaming around at night, and—most of all—don't audibly cry while hiding from a serial killer.
Is "Halloween" a genius independent film that's worth a four decade legacy? Or is it just an un-scary bump in John Carpenter's resume? Find out as Shat The Movies ventures into a month of horror reviews.
