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.

Transcribe →The Chronicles of Riddick - These Guys Monger
Nov 1201:10:58Tap to summarizeThe boys dip a toe into the shiny and visceral pool that is Vin Diesel's artistic milieu with the Chronicles of Riddick, exploring that most profound form of artistic expression: the Original Character (do not steal).NOTE: In this episode, Sam makes the OUTRAGEOUS claim that Glenn Close was in the film The Devil Wears Prada. While we at Slop Culture stand by our assertion that Glenn Close is a handsome and stern presence and an asset to any set, we must issue a correction and say it was Meryl Streep who was in The Devil Wears Prada.Support the show
