Throwing everyone a curveball here. Decided to change it up a bit and instead of doing a film, we are hanging out and shooting the shit with a friend of the show, Joe Crawford.

The new TMNT: Mutant Mayhem film just hit streaming so we decided to honor that by going back to the OG film.

Not not Clifford the big red mutant dog. We are talking about Clifford the 1994 Martin Short film about a 40 year old man playing a 10 year old boy which sounds more like a fucked up serial killer movie than a family movie....but I digress.

It's crazy that this film has 18% on RT. Like seriously? This movie is not only funny, it's heartbreaking, sad, whimsical, well acted. Especially by Curly Sue herself portrayed by Alisan Porter. Jim Belushi does a great job as well as Curly Sue's counterpart. He's sweet and kind but takes a Home Alone style beating that only Hughes could deliver in…

This movie right here is the OG. The one that started it all when it comes to the "gross out college/high school hyjinx" genre. Directed by John Landis of Blues Brothers fame and of course written by the fuckin man himself, Harold Ramis, this film takes you on a ride with those loveable scamps from Bluto's (John Belushi) Delta House. Watch as they …

Scarface is fuckin S-tier shit main. What can be said about this true masterpiece of cinema that hasn't already been said. Al Pacino's performance as Scarface is the kinda shit you study in school. The delivery, the charisma, his overall demeanor when it came to certain scenes. Amazing. Listen this week as we do horrible Scarface impressions for an…

It's the early 90's and the success of Tim Burton's Batman begun a spree of comic book films. Film studio's were getting their mitts on any and all comic book IP rights to adapt to the big screen.

Hulk Hogan was in a weird spot in the early 90s. He left the WWF in 1993 to peruse a film career only to be back in wrestling a year later. But during that time he starred in Mr. Nanny. An ex-wrestler (of course lol) who gets begrudgery recruited to look after two kids of a microchip inventor. But the kids aren't too keen on the idea so they go all…

We love Kevin Smith films. We already did Clerks, which is arguably Kevin's Smith's best film but we have such a soft spot for Mallrats. We watched this movie together for the first time huddled around my 15in monitor in high school in 2001. This movie really gave breaks to some big time names. Ben Affleck was a relative unknown. Jason Lee was doin…

We also go over some of the great cheating s…

This is movie is stupid underrated. Johnny Depp plays Cry-Baby, a teen heartthrob on the wrong side of the tracks who falls for a Square named Allison. Director/Writer John Waters really nails the "James Dean" aesthetic in this movie with a hilarious and campy good time. The songs are memorable and all the supporting cast does a great job. Also, we…

We are on Episode 69 and if you've listened to the show before, you know where our minds go. So this episode is dedicated to the Queen of Pop and the Queen of sex appeal in the 80's and 90's and well into the 2000's Madonna. Not only was her music provocative, it was also damn catchy too. Listen to us as we vibe with some of her hits as we give our…

Talk about an all time classic. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (RIP) really steal the show in this film adaptation of the popular musical. We love musicals, and this one ranks high on our all time list. The music with the story really set the tone (heh). Most musicals suffer from using the songs as a crutch for poor writing. Grease does not s…

With the worldwide success of Tim Burton's 1989 Batman, studios were frothing at the mouth to get their hands on any comic book property.

Beatty stars as Dick Tracy and does…
