Mini-Episode - Way Too Young Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

They've mentioned it quite a few times but this week sees Nathan and Brendan really dig into the movies that they were definitely too young to watch as children but did anyway. They also hear some similar tales involving sexually explicit Sharon Stone films, the glorious violence of "Scarface," the not-so-consensual nature of "Revenge of the Nerds" and much more. Nathan and Brendan also reveal their next movie involving a good ol' fashioned love story... and a pick axe.

Tammy and the T-Rex (w/Kaleigh Stultz and Steve & Izzy from "Everything I Learned from Movies") Jan 25, 2018

Show notes

It's quite possibly the most cuckoo bananas movie that Nathan and Brendan have ever covered so luckily they had some help along the way in the form of Kaleigh Stultz as well as Steve & Izzy from the great podcast "Everything I Learned from Movies." The five (!) of them talk about all sorts of things in this crazy film from the honour-system zoo that exists in California, dickfights, corpses being rolled up like shag carpet, brains in punch bowls, clever names like Sheriff Black (an African-American police officer) and Billy Bad (one of the villains) and so much more (and we didn't even mention the T-Rex itself there so we're talking A LOT more)! Plus: In the spirit of two of our guests, Nathan does his own beer review. Also: listen in for a clue regarding the next great movie that will be covered. You can find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/wwttpodcast), Twitter & Instagram (@wwttpodcast for both).

RETRO: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie Jan 04, 2018

Show notes

It's an off-week for us due to the hectic nature of the holidays so we're diving into the archives to bring you an episode you may have missed the first time we aired it - The Garbage Pail Kids Movie! Nathan & Brendan dive head-first into a terrifying nightmare world featuring the scariest-looking "children" that have ever graced the silver screen. They discuss everything in this film - the adult bullies, the lack of age difference between the two leads, the State Home for the Ugly, the very suggestive sexual nature of Greg the Greaser and much, much more. Also: They discover some other rather unsavoury Garbage Pail Kid characters that were (thankfully) not used in the movie. NEXT WEEK: We return live with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III! You can find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/wwttpodcast), Twitter & Instagram (@wwttpodcast for both). Our theme song was recorded by Taylor Sheasgreen.

Silent Night, Deadly Night: Part 2 (w/Jessica Cameron) Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

NOTE: There is a slight hiccup early in the episode where it seems to echo the audio for about 30 seconds. Apologies for that but the rest of the episode is fairly smooth. GARBAGE DAY! It's the very first time Nathan & Brendan have recapped a film and its sequel as they head back to the realm of killer Santas with this slasher follow-up! They're not alone though as scream queen/actress/director Jessica Cameron is also there to join the fray. The three of them talk about a whole lot in a short period of time from the movie consisting of 40 minutes of footage from the original film complete with flashbacks by characters who were not involved, the acting prowess of Eric Freeman, the absolutely ridiculous physics that surround all of the random murders and much, much more! Plus: The Golden Girls are ninja nuns?! Also: listen in for a clue regarding the next great movie that will be covered (January 11th). You can find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/wwttpodcast), Twitter & Instagram (@wwttpodcast for both).

Show notes

Nathan and Brendan unzip the mailbag to reveal some Christmas questions including a story involving Crash Bandicoot, someone who really doesn't care for the holidays (and we get some genuine sentiment from Nathan on this one), the acceptable times to start/stop Christmas music and decorations and more. The guys also reveal their next film and it's a sequel to a film we've previously covered.

Surviving Christmas Dec 07, 2017

Show notes

In the first of two Christmas-themed flicks this month, Nathan and Brendan attempt to... well... survive "Surviving Christmas." They go into a lot of background on the film like how it was a colossal box office failure when it opened in October (?), Ben Affleck's character being a total psychopath, the movie being comprised of tons of improv but the one great improvisational performer being completely shortchanged, the character of "Dooda," Catherine O'Hara's very complicated character trajectory, the last half-hour of the movie that plays out like a sitcom and much more. Plus: Brendan can NOT tell the difference between Chris Evans and Chris Pine. Also: listen in for a clue regarding the next great Christmas movie that will be covered.
