Episode 135: Dick Tracy
6d ago01:45:58Tap to summarizeHOO-AH! Al Pacino makes his illustrious debut on The Greatest Movie Ever Made this week in the color-drenched comic book noir DICK TRACY! Warren Beatty's ego knows no bounds as he unleashes a profoundly weird creative vision, complete with a bunch of character actors caked in prosthetics and a smokin' hot Madonna. Will David and Justus hop on the Beatty train and delight in this phantasmagoric thrill ride? Or does the "more is more" approach of this picture end up sinking it like a pair of cement shoes? Find out on The Greatest Movie Ever Made!Dick Tracy (1990) is directed by Warren Beatty and stars Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, Madonna, Glenne Headly, and Charlie Korsmo.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Transcribe →Episode 134: Stargate
3w ago01:39:00Tap to summarizeWith the horrors of The Pest safely in the rear view, Justus and David turn their eyes toward the cosmos. The notorious Roland Emmerich has cooked up some wacky sci-fi hijinks with ancient aliens and space Egyptians, and all this will surely make for a better movie than what the boys had to endure last week. Drink seven beers, practice your bad Ray Winstone impression for some reason, and join Kurt Russell and James Spader to discover the wonders beyond the Stargate.Stargate (1994) is directed by Roland Emmerich and stars James Spader, Kurt Russell, Jaye Davidson, Viveca Lindfors, and Alexis CruzMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Transcribe →Episode 133: The Pest
4w ago01:22:56Tap to summarizeFor some unknowable reason, David picked The Pest this week. Hear him regret this decision on-mic and be berated by Justus for forcing this vile undertaking upon the podcast. It's tough to stay on-topic for a movie that your memory is actively attempting to repress as a trauma response, so they take some detours into anecdotes about past drug experiences, and (of course) the criminal history of one Jeffrey Jones. Does this sound like a fun time to you? We can guarantee one thing: it beats watching The Pest!The Pest (1997) is directed by Paul Miller and stars John Leguizamo, Jeffrey Jones, Edoardo Ballerini, Freddy Rodríguez, Tammy Townsend, and Aries Spears.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

May 1601:50:46Tap to summarizeJustus and David have been studying the blade and are discussing Jim Jarmusch’s ultra-cool movie with an ultra-cool title.

Transcribe →Episode 130: The Muppet Movie
May 202:13:30Tap to summarizeJustus has decreed that the podcast will cover one Muppet movie per year, so it is once again time to dive into Jim Henson’s world of whimsy and felt puppets. This time, the boys are talking about the cultural moment that was and is The Muppet Movie, the first big screen adventure of Kermit and his friends.

Transcribe →Episode 129: Alien 3
Apr 2502:41:43Tap to summarizeIn space, no one can hear you podcast, and the boys are making their yearly return to the Alien franchise to discuss this divisive third installment. Join them in the dingy hallways of Fury 161, where the only thing scarier than poorly composited xenomorph effects is evil 20th Century Fox producers. Plus, David and Justus get called in for an unexpected meeting. All this and more cosmic horrors await!Alien 3 (1992) is directed by David Fincher and stars Sigourney Weaver, Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance, Paul McGann, and Brian GloverMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Transcribe →Episode 128: The Lair
Apr 1801:37:17Tap to summarizeSo the director of The Descent totally shit the bed with his Hellboy remake, probably pissed off some producer, and has spent the last few years making direct to streaming slop.

Neil Marshall returns to the podcast with a sexy wife/leading lady in tow and a bottom of the barrel Aliens rip off for the ages!The Lair (2022) is directed by Neil Marshall and stars Charlotte Kirk, Jonathan Howard, Jamie Bamber, Mark Strepan, and Hadi Khanjanpour.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Transcribe →Episode 127: Blind Fury
Apr 1101:34:28Tap to summarizeRutger Hauer makes his long overdue return to the show, and the boys couldn’t be happier to once again be Slutgers for Rutger. Watch him slay watermelons and gross fat guys, and hear David get unreasonably angry about the child performance in this episode of The Greatest Movie Ever MadeBlind Fury (1989) is directed by Phillip Noyce and stars Rutger Hauer, Terry O’Quinn, Brandon Cooper, Charles Cooper, and Noble Willingham Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
