Listener's Choice: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie Apr 06, 2017

Show notes

Do you ever remember seeing a movie as a kid and have fond memories about how much you loved that movie and laughed so hard at it? Then watched it 30 years later and had every great memory stripped away by how stunningly inept and awful it was? That's Garbage Pail Kids. Nathan and Brendan stepped into the world of a shameless cash-in mixed with hackneyed, lazy gross out comedy. It's not the worst movie we've ever watched, but it's pretty close.

Captain America (w/Joshua Kotsabasakis) Feb 09, 2017

Criminal Jan 26, 2017

Show notes

You'd trade Ryan Reynolds for Kevin Costner, right? That's seems like a fair trade. Find out the answer to this and the question: what would happen if Johnathan Kent had the memories of The Green Lantern implanted in his head by Two Face and Commissioner Gordon so he could fight cyber-terrorism with the help of Wonder Woman? The DC universe will never be the same after Brendan and Nathan unpack the movie that is "Criminal"... not just in title alone.

Nine Lives Jan 12, 2017

Show notes

This movie is what happens when a WHOLE lot of people with a WHOLE lot of talent decide that they'd rather get paid a WHOLE lot of money rather than say "no, I want to make a quality movie." Nathan and Brendan watched "Nine Lives" so you never have to.
