A Plain Zero first is upon us this week: our first Nicolas Cage movie! So, what will it be? There's so many to pick from! Well, you likely already know since it's in the title.

209: The Greatest 80s Movie: Part 1

This week, we're doing something a little different, yet also familiar. We're returning to the brackets, but this time we're trying to figure out which is the GOAT movie of the 80s. We got a lot to go through as we tackle the first round and debate what decides to move forward. We also learn that Nick loves a movie more than any of us could have ever imagined.

208: Nacho Libre

This week we find ourselves basking in the pageantry of wrestling. At the heart of this movie is a man at odds with himself and his own duality. On the one hand, he loves wrestling but he also loves his religion. Sadly, his religion is against wrestling. This was a truly deep and reflective journey of self-discovery. So, listen up, boppers, and find out if Jack Black and Nacho Libre holds up!

207: Back To School

We're down a man this week, but that won't stop us from bringing you the same level of unprofessionalism as usual! Speaking of which, maybe it's time we did something about that, and the only way we can think to do that would be to go Back To School. That's right boppers, we're watching Rodney Dangerfield get some respect and talking about a young Robert Downey, Jr. So join us as we find out if it holds up!

206: Sin City

This week, we're tackling the collaboration between Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller as they teamed up to direct the adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City.

204: The Sandlot

Summer is fully upon us, and with it comes baseball. So what better way to usher that in then with The Sandlot. Will this classic tale of a new kid making friends, then playing baseball, and then battling a giant dog hold up? You know how to find out, boppers!

203: Event Horizon

This week, we're going somewhere where you won't need eyes, but you will need ears to hear us talk about it! Doctor Alan Grant and Morpheus are on a secret mission to figure out what happened to a missing space craft and then kooky shenanigans begin to take place. Will Event Horizon hold up? You'll just have to listen to find out!

202: Trading Places

This week we're going back to the 80s and the chaotic land of Wall Street, but we didn't watch that movie. We watched that other movie about the stock market, the one that spring boarded Eddie Murphy into stardom as he was Trading Places with Dan Aykroyd. Yes, that's right, boppers, we watched Trading Places! Will this retelling of the Prince and the Pauper hold up? There's only one way to find out!

201: Deep Blue Sea

The next 200 episodes begin here, boppers! To celebrate, we've updated our intro. But not only that, we took a look at one of LL Cool J's greatest performances.

That's right, boppers, this week we watched Deep Blue Sea!

199: Heavy Metal (w/12 For A Penny & The Obscure Gentlemen)

Here it is, boppers! All month we've been working to figure out what our favorite movie is based on our May Madness brackets and a winner is decided today. But we're not the only ones here, because we're joined by The Obscure Gentlemen and 12 For A Penny as they both decide the winners of their own brackets, as well. Then we discuss the animated movie, Heavy Metal and its soundtrack.
