Slop Culture is a happy hour podcast that strives to see the beauty in stupidity. Movies, books, video games, media--anything that falls under the theater of the macho and the campy, we can't get enough of. Join us for a drink, a few laughs and then send us your angry letters when we have opinions you don't like.

Big Trouble In Little China - John Lick
6d ago01:24:24Tap to summarizeThe boys take a swig of Tsingtao and power through their second John Carpenter-directed, Kurt Russell-starring cult classic movie. Except instead of being about colorful goons in the decaying ruins of a dystopian New York, it's a movie about colorful wizards in the decaying ruins of 1980's San Francisco. Today's topics include a shoutout to ninjas, a frank discussion on wizard-based crime and the masculine fantasy of having your bro do kung fu in front of your wife.Support the show
Transcribe →Smokin' Aces - A LAN Party For Hookahs
2w ago01:22:10Tap to summarizeWill and Sam put on their leisure suits for their look at Smokin' Aces, the only movie that can give you the same kind of rush as seeing a pyramid of carefully-arranged wine glasses come crashing down right before the last one goes on. Join the boys for an off-beat and eccentric dark action comedy (it's dark because someone says a swear).Support the show
Transcribe →Red Dawn (1984) - You Tug, You Toss
3w ago01:17:30Tap to summarizeThis week, the boys treat themselves to an American classic which asks the question that every young American has ever asked themselves: "what if school got canceled because World War III broke out and Patrick Swayze was also there?" Also featured: Sam saw the Odyssey, Satanic nachos and do you think a demon in hell would call you fat or would that be too much?Support the show
Transcribe →Jason & The Argonauts (1966) - My Close Comrade, Thaddeus the Magnificent
4w ago01:12:02Tap to summarizeIt is Slop Culture's utmost pleasure to introduce an iconic film about hairy skinny dudes rowing boats and slapping skeletons--Jason & The Argonauts. Join Will and Sam in a discussion on topics such as Ray Harryhausen's vision, cinema's earliest special effects, how much it must rule to be an old dude just letting it all hang out on a boat with your bros, and more.Support the show
Transcribe →The Gauntlet - Vanillainous
Jul 801:05:28Tap to summarizeIn a very special episode of Slop Culture, the podcast talks about its very first film featuring America's favorite morally-dubious, spiritually-lugubrious, gun-toting, chain-smoking, grizzled gizzard son of an onion, Clint Eastwood, in The Gauntlet, a film that is brave enough to tell you that you can solve at least some of your problems with a bus.Support the show
Transcribe →Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky - The Chalupacabra
Jul 101:11:33Tap to summarizeThe boys revisit the joys of Hong Kong cinema with the spectacularly gory, spectacularly ridiculous, spectacularly beefy opus that is Riki-Oh, the story of one man's passionate desire to bring about prison reforms by punching through walls and making peoples' skulls explode. Put your face in this bad English dubbing and breathe deep, brother.Support the show
Transcribe →Terminator Salvation - Leave A Pack Of Camels Out For Florida Santa
Jun 2401:17:13Tap to summarizeToday on Slop Culture, Will and Sam journey to the moment where the Terminator franchise stopped and the Terminator Cinematic Universe began. Join us for a thoughtful discussion on what makes a character, what makes a plot, what makes a human--also, like, six or seven jokes about Florida. Maybe eight.Support the show
Transcribe →Deathstalker (1983) - Horrifically Entombed Among Layers of Blubber
Jun 1701:20:06Tap to summarizeThis week, the boys investigate a piece of Argentinian Cinematic History in the form of the extremely violent, extremely low-budget, extremely body-hairless legendary film, Deathstalker. Join us for a discussion of pop culture history, Will's beef with whales and whether or not Pedro Pascal is to blame for Vesuvius erupting.Support the show
Transcribe →Sloppy Seconds - Baby Got Backrooms
Jun 1701:05:51Tap to summarizeOn the inaugural session of Sloppy Seconds, the boys talk about horror film sensation, THE BACKROOMS, one of Sam's very favorite settings and, now, one of his very favorite movies. Also included in this episode: bad endings to good shows, the twitching carcass of Star Wars and how badly you'd have to offend Pedro Pascal before he finally came after you.Support the show
Transcribe →Atomic Blonde - I'll Give You One Hint: Domino Theory
Jun 1001:25:44Tap to summarizeToday, the boys take a look at Charlize Theron's spectacular Cold War thriller, Atomic Blonde--the ONLY movie where you can get a stunning 1980s soundtrack, John Goodman in a suit and a verifiable chorus of Eastern European dudes getting whacked in their Lyndon B Johnsons with firehoses.What part of the body is "Lyndon B Johnson" a metaphor for? You'll have to listen to find out, dear listener. You'll have to listen.But if you thought "nards," you're right. Support the show
