This week is our first ever listener request as the movie we watched was chosen by the winner of the first Obscure for a Penny Zero twitter tournament, @stuckinaportal! This week, he chose for us to watch the 80s classic: The NeverEnding Story (spoiler alert: it has an ending). Will this well remembered movie hold up? Only one way to find out!
It is Halloween, and what better movie for us to look back upon than John Carpenter's classic that launched a genre: Halloween. This week, we'll be asking if the day he came home holds up.
As we get closer to Halloween, we figured it was time to start getting scared. Scared stupid, that is! This week we watched the classic tale of redneck vs. troll, a tale as old as time.
This week's episode is all about the important questions. Why does saying someone's name 3 times both summon them and then destroy them? Why does this Alec Baldwin look nothing like any other incarnation of Alec Baldwin? Did those football players survive the accident? Learn all this and more as we ask if Beetlejuice holds up!
This week we found ourselves travelling back to a time where the midnight Movie Macabre was still a thing and in the 80's there was one queen of that scene: Elvira! A woman that was so popular, that they gave her a movie that was all of her own. And we watched it. Then, when you finish this episode, head over to The Obscure Gentlemen to listen to their episode dedicated to the woman herself!
Do you feel that? Oh, shit. Ooh ah-ah-ah! Ack! Ack! It's October once again, which means it's time to celebrate the arrival of Fall and the coming of Samhain with a month full of horror movies. We kick things off with Dawn of the Dead in which we discuss why leaving the mall was a mistake and how Modern Family is a prequel to this.
On this week's episode we celebrated a time before Charlie Sheen went crazy and Tom Berenger kind of disappeared. We watched Major League and celebrated America's favorite pastime!
This week we were told blatantly to fire that fuckin' pig skin, so we went ahead and watched Varsity Blues and now we can't ever stop telling our parents, "I don't want your life." So, yeah, we revisited that time that the Dawson played football.
We're joined once again by James from 12 For A Penny this week as we celebrated comedy royalty and discussed Mel Brooks' classic: Blazing Saddles. So strap on in and join us as we take a wild ride back to the old west!
We're joined this week by James of The Obscure Gentlemen and 12 For a Penny as we mourn the loss of comedy legend, Gene Wilder, by watching the classic: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. So hold your breath, count to three, make a wish and come with us to a world of pure imagination.
This week we watched a Christian Slater movie that didn't involve his older brother dying and celebrated the game of Croquet, plus it has Winona Ryder. This week, we went back to high school in the 80s to watch Heathers!
In this week's episode we discuss what it means to go to war with Small Soldiers as we talk about Joe Dante and why Tommy Lee Jones was likely a bad choice as a voice actor and then marvel over how this movie managed to get the rights to use a Led Zeppelin song.
This week we decided we were ready to take that can't of rejection, so we put focus squarely on the time travelling classic: Back To The Future! For those not familiar, it's the age old tell of a kid who's mom falls in love with him while he hangs out with a crazy older man.
This week, we watched Warren Beatty embarrass himself while making a movie that was pretty much just an excuse to try and bang around with Halle Berry: Bulworth. Plus, we unveil an updated theme!
This week Aaron, Alex, and Travis discuss the drawbacks of immortality and the un-importance of proper, historically accurate accents as we watched Highlander in our newest episode since our last one!
This week we cover many important questions, such as why does Brendan Fraser hold two guns so high whilst firing and why isn't there a pirate named Swash Buckler? Oh, and also we talked about The Mummy, but only kind of.
This week, we traveled to the future just to travel back to a time that is still our future as we watched Star Trek: First Contact. We discuss Patrick Stewart: action hero! Also, Nick has returned and fills us in on his thoughts on the past few movies.
In this episode, we find ourselves having to watch what we say and how we say it as we take a look at the first movie in what is now the most important and controversial cinematic franchise: Ghostbusters! Let's be honest, we're mostly just being opportunistic. So before you do or don't see the new movie this Friday, why not listen to us discuss the original?!
This week, we're joined by Travis' brother, Sean, as Nick is out on an emergency. We watched and discussed a movie written by the creator of Full House, directed by the guy that directed The Jerk, and starring the dude from NCIS. That's right, we discussed Summer School.
This week we're joined by not just Yama, but Joe as well, from the 12 For a Penny podcast. This episode finds us having watched American Me, which probably has one of the greatest death scenes in all of cinema!
