Show notes

This week, the guys are joined by Galen Howard and unintentionally continue with the theme of the Cold War and evil Russians by talking all about the John Travolta film The Experts.

The guys talk about all of the bad improv scenes with no real jokes, the endless opening credits, the Travolta/Preston dance scene, sandwich pornography and much more.

Rambo III Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

We do apologize that this episode is unfortunately so relevant to recent events in the news but hope we can give you some laughs with this dumb, dumb action movie.

This week, it's time to talk about the conclusion of the original John Rambo trilogy, the aptly-named... Rambo III. First thing's first, the guys dive a bit into the weird naming conventions of this franchise, Brendan is weirded out when he sees Rambo riding a horse, they discuss the cartoon and the old Jewish man who voiced the title character, of course the prophetic messaging about Afghanistan is brought up and much, much more.

Geostorm (w/Everything I Learned from Movies) Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

This week, the guys are joined by Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to discuss a very important film - Dean Devlin's (but really Roland Emmerich) Geostorm. From Gerard Butler playing an astrophysicist and using a terrible American accent to the world coming together in perfect unity, this film is one of the biggest fantasies ever covered on the show. Just how stupid do you have to be to see Ed Harris in a film and truly wonder who the villain will turn out to be in the end? And are Secret Service relationships really forbidden? Is Andy Garcia going to stop fiddling with that pen? All this and more in this week's takedown.
