The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl Nov 10, 2016

Show notes

Ever wanted to blow millions of dollars on a movie based on your kid's refrigerator art? Robert Rodriguez did. Built on a spotty plot and even spottier Windows 95 screensavers, George Lopez and former WCW champion David Arquette, Nathan and Brendan examined "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl." No amount of mouse-wiggling was able to stop this screensaver.

Critters Oct 27, 2016

Show notes

A Gremlins/E.T. rip-off STARRING E.T.'s mom and M. Emmett Walsh? If you like Gizmo and the gang then you'll love them on bath salts. Brendan and Nathan examine this often overlooked and under appreciated bit of 80's schlock. Lin Shaye, Billy Zane, Scott Grimes and a plethora of other fantastic talent... and a dude that looks a LOT like a reject from a Bon Jovi cover band.

Thrashin' (w/Jerika Layne) Oct 13, 2016

Show notes

The movie that Josh Brolin would like to forget and Box Office Mojo apparently thinks never existed... ladies and gentlemen, we give you "Thrashin'"You can bet your bottom dollar it existed because Brendan, Nathan and our VERY FIRST SPECIAL GUEST Jerika had to watch this cliche-ridden skateboard movie filled with super-intimidating villains, some terrible ADR and some super-strong editing and music choices. This movie will blow your mind... maybe not in the best way though.

Judgment Night Sep 29, 2016

Show notes

Ever wonder what it would be like if you could find a movie that was the personification of a moment in time? You can... as long as that moment is some time between 1992 and 1993! "Judgment Night" - a movie so early 90's it has Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Dorff, Denis Leary AND Everlast from The House of Pain. If there ever was a movie that embodied what it means to be so bananas that it edges into genius while being SUPER dated, this is it! Join Nathan and Brendan as they face "Judgment Night." NOTE: We had some audio problems. We did our BEST to fix them. At the same time, we recommend using headphones set at a moderate volume level.
