D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

Its time to grab your rollerblades and slap on some neon windbreakers, so we can talk about a movie that basically brainwashed an entire generation of kids into thinking they could go from the worst Pee Wee Hockey team ever to world champions. This movie gave us the Bash Brothers, the Knucklepuck and tried to sell us on the fact that Iceland was not only good at hockey but was a major villain. And of course, it gave us Gordon Bombay at his most unhinged — ditching practices for photo shoots, forgetting his players exist, and then swooping in with a last-minute inspirational speech like an alcoholic stepdad who suddenly remembers it’s Christmas morning. But hey, anything is possible because we are Team USA baby.

The Ghost and The Darkness (1996) Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

On today’s episode, we review one of the most overlooked and underrated movies of the 90s. One of two 90s films about African lions, this movie was pitched as a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Jaws and it certainly delivers. We have questions though. Is Val Kilmer sub-par in this film? Why is Michael Douglas so cool? Did these people deserve their fate? We are of course talking about 1996’s The Ghost and the Darkness
