S11: Episode 548 - Saw III May 18, 2021

Show notes

On this week's episode, the guys take a trip to Franchise Town to discuss the absolutely dreadful, completely joyless sequel, Saw III! Why didn't someone point out how hilarious everyone yelling "Jeff" throughout a film sounds? Why did we need to see a flashback of Jigsaw prepping the first film's test? And would this franchise have been better served by casting a different NKOTB member in every film? PLUS: JEFF!

Saw III stars Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh, Donnie Wahlberg, and Dina Meyer; directed by Darren Lynn Bousman.

S11: Episode 547 - The Simpsons Movie (with Henry Gilbert & Bob Mackey) May 11, 2021

Show notes

This week on the show, the long-awaited crossover event is here as Henry Gilbert and Bob Mackey from the great Talking Simpsons podcast are hanging out to chat about the 87-minute missed opportunity, The Simpsons Movie! Why weren't Mr. Burns or Sideshow Bob the villain of the film? If it had to be an Albert Brooks-voiced character, why not Hank Scorpio? Did we really need to see Bart's genitals? And really, who is this movie for? PLUS: Transforming those 7-11s into Kwik-E-Marts was a terrible idea.

The Simpsons Movie stars Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Russi Taylor, Maggie Roswell, and Albert Brooks; directed by David Silverman.

And what is the value of not having Eddie Izzard speak for the whole film? PLUS: If Jim Broadbent appeared in a snuff film... better movie?

Show notes

On this week's show, the unofficial Sean Gone month continues as the gang dissects the total cinematic oddity known as Zardoz! Wasn't the big, red diaper great?

What kind of total garbage talk is coming out of Connery's mouth right at the beginning? Why did we need to wait for over an hour before a Blofeld appearance? And what was going on with Pleasance and that cat? PLUS: Look out for Q and those knee socks! Me-ow!

Show notes

On this week's show, the gang wraps up the 2021 Listener Request Month with a lengthy conversation about the outrageous JCVD/Dennis Rodman team-up film, Double Team! Why couldn't they just make Rodman's character be a former basketball player-turned-arms dealer? What was JCVD doing to that poor bath tub? And why couldn't this ridiculous movie just stay on that island? PLUS: Is there anything more terrifying than a gross clown caught in the rain?

Show notes

On this week's program, the tide starts to turn on the 2021 Listener Request Month as the guys chat about a movie that's almost kind of a movie: Poltergeist II: The Other Side! Wasn't it pretty silly of JoBeth's character to completely forget that not only does she have psychic abilities, but she actually comes from a long line of psychics?! Is Craig T. Nelson's character making Will Sampson's "Taylor" sleep outside? And is there any truth to the dreaded Poltergeist Curse? PLUS: What the heck happened with Craig T. Nelson's magic haircut?

Poltergeist II: The Other Side stars Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Will Sampson, Zelda Rubinstein, Oliver Robbins, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and Julian Beck as "Kane;" directed by Brian Gibson.
