So Do We Still Like This?

This one has been in discussion for a long time! Is this the first Mike Myers movie we've ever done? ...that seems completely insane but I think it is!

Look you all know how it is. Sometimes you have to do a podcast episode on the 1979 Bill Murray camp comedy Meatballs. We've all been there!

Look...if there's one thing we've learned around here it's that sometimes you have to cheat on an episode to not break a 308 week streak. And sometimes that means doing a brand new movie on your nostalgia podcast. So that's what we did!

Thanks to Hayden Christensen I remembered that this movie is awesome and it's time to show AK that it's awesome too!

Continuing our reign as the anniversariest podcast of all time, we're putting out our Batman (1989 movie) episode out on its literal 35th anniversary! Take THAT whoever is in second place!

Remember that horror movie Unfriended that came out somehow ten years ago and took place entirely on a laptop screen? Kinda? Yeah that's probably the correct answer.

Even 14 years later the movie Splice has stuck in our heads after a single watch. Let's go back and see if it's worth the mental space it has been occupying all this time!

I've been a huge Nic Cage fan for years, and yet have somehow never indulged in one of his most infamous roles. Let's go beyond the memes and watch all 100 insane minutes of Vampire's Kiss!

It has been almost 30 years to the day since the live-action Flintstones movie came out and provided my parents with the most stressful birthday ever! My brother Chris and I are here to revisit this one, which I thought was a beloved classic but no. No it's definitely not.

The journey to episode 400 is officially underway! With The Strangers Chapter 1 hitting theatres the weekend we recorded, it's time for Kim, Sam Also and I to revisit the OG and see if it's the horror classic we remember.

300. Damn. Episodes. Absolutely wild! I'm joined by wife who was there when it all started to once again rub it in her face that I have somehow done this for 300 weeks in a row. We briefly discuss the show itself, but we mostly talk about the movie 300! Get it? Cuz like...the movie name matches the episode number.

I also mentioned in the episode that I would give a shout-out to our frequent, and even one time, contributers so here we go. *deep breath*

Thank you (in no particular order) to - Wife, OG Sam, Sam Also, Rob, Kim, AK, my brother Chris, Jordan, Wadhah, Breanne, Laurel, Marianne, Kyle, Drea, Curtis, Outlaw Vern, Patrick Tumblety, Cassie Daley, Hailie Piper and Jessica Guess! ...that still doesn't even feel like everybody. Thank you all for your time and dedication! The show is nothing without you!

A health scare isn't going to stop me from the final episode before episode 300! AK and I talk about the 2014 movie Whiplash and how it makes us never ever want to learn a new skill. Too bad, I was so ready to put in the work too but oh well.

*confused grunt noise* *grunt laugh* *double grunt laugh* *destroys appliance* *sad grunt noise*

Podcast! Podcast! Podcast! There's a legacy sequel just around the corner and Kim has never seen Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice is amazing so there's three amazing reasons to do an episode about it!

Almost 20 years ago my friends and I came very close to walking out of the theatre during The Ring Two. Surely time has only been kind to this sequel right? ....right?

There's no better gift from the Easter Bunny than for the Britney Spears movie Crossroads to be widely available to watch for the first time in years! So once you're done the easter egg hunt, gather the family around and listen to OG Sam and I talk about it.

...But also probably don't because even though this movie is PG as hell, I'm pretty sure we still curse a whole lot.

This feels like EXACTLY the kind of episode we made this podcast for. A movie that we absolutely loved in 2004 is given a rewatch 20 years later and...well we have some things to say. Just like in the early days of this thing!

It has been almost 20 years since The Village seemed to completely divide audiences. I was not on the positive side in 2004. Kim has always been on that side. Time to finally settle this and see who has the objectively correct opinion.

Splash is turning 40...or actually just turned 40 yesterday...because Father Time is a cruel SOB and our own mortalities draw closer every day. So may as well enjoy our time with a breezy 80's comedy where Tom Hanks bones a mermaid!

It's time to continue taking Renee through the Star Wars stories and after the travesty that was the Holiday Special, it's a relief to upgrade to something that is merely "fine".

That's a wrap on Boning Month for 2024 and...wow. I think we can officially file this idea into the failure category. Look I don't think we expected much from 1993's Sliver but it couldn't even pass that low bar!

Boning Month continues to be "JanuAgony But Sometimes with Sex" as we hit another bad movie that I clearly didn't research enough. AK and I are here to talk about David Curoso's attempt to launch himself into the world of film before being kicked right back into television. Time for Jade!

We welcome Tiff back to the show for what I thought was a 90's film classic, but it turns out nobody liked it then and well...we aren't big fans of it now either.

One themed month ends and another begins! Say so long to JanuAgony and hello to Boning Month! This month we're doing another theme within a theme and watching nothing but 90's erotic thrillers! We kick things off with Body of Evidence - a movie literally about whether Madonna had sex with a dude so hard that he died. It's...unfortunately not as interesting as that makes it sound.

Money Plane! JanuAgony comes to a close and Money Plane is the movie that will close it out. Money Plane. Who is watching Money Plane? I am watching Money Plane and my brother Chris is also watching Money Plane. Money Plane.

Look, we all know that Steven Seagal is an objectively terrible person. I haven't seen any of his output from the last ten years or so, but I've heard the legends and wanted to finally see what was going on. Turns out...not much. Not much at all really. Sorry Sam Also!

Kim continues on a weird tradition of having to watch a bad cat movie every year and this time...wow. This doesn't qualify as a movie or a PSA or cool or whatever else it claims to be. Come join us as we discuss Cool Cat and how he weirdly doesn't save a single kid!

It's one of my favourite themed months - JanuAgony! A month where we purposefully watch a bunch of bad movies because sometimes you just need to point at something lesser than you and laugh.

Rob and I are once again kicking things off almost too strongly as we finally tip our toes into the world of Neil Breen.

The last episode of 2023 and we decided to give ourselves a treat and discuss a movie we (Sam Also and I) know we like. Let's bring in the New Year together and celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Faculty!

It's Christmas Eve everyone! Or it was when this went live, it may be like March now when you're listening to this. Kim and I watched the cynical 80's Bill Murray take on A Christmas Carol - Scrooged!

Ok it's time to move away from awful Christmas movies with an actual classic! It's time for us to cover the other movie that gave us the PG-13 rating!

We seem weirdly determined to only do terrible Christmas movies this month. Unlike The Star Wars Holiday Special, at least this one is hilariously bad. Kirk Cameron is here to make up a bunch of wild nonsense about Christmas and buying the DVD pays off way more than I ever could have expected.

It's December! Time to gear up for Christmas by looking at a bunch of holiday classics and we're kicking it off with...oh no. Ooooooooo nooooooooo.

Go Go Gadget Podcast! It's almost impressive that 276 episodes into this thing and we still haven't found the bottom. AK and I watched the 1999 live action Inspector Gadget movie and it may very well be the worst thing I've had to watch for this podcast. If you take a look back at our previous episodes, you'll realize just how wild a statement that actually is.

It's a rare blind spot for me in the world of early 2000's classic teen movies! Come hear us struggle to come up with meaningful stuff to say about 2001's Save the Last Dance!

Look...if there's one thing we've learned around these parts it's that sometimes podcast records fall apart (for completely justifiable reasons). If there's another thing I've learned, it's that I'm surrounded by amazing people who will step in to help ensure we don't lose our 274 episode streak.

We've mentioned the recent horror movie Talk to Me on several of our "what are you currently enjoying segments" so now it's time to go all in and spoil the shit out of it. Please watch the movie before you listen to this!

Kids today with their fancy internet have access to all kinds of video game cheats and walkthroughs at their fingertips all the time. Back in our day though, if you wanted the hottest Nintendo tips you had to pay $19.99 plus shipping and handling to have some random dude show you how to kinda but not really beat video games.

Today, Rob and I learn all the hottest tricks from World Video Game Champion Skip Rodgers and we're here to pass those tricks on to you!

AK and I aren't going to let colds and Covid stop us from talking about Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum because it's Halloween damn it! Found Foctober comes to an end but don't shed any tears yet! We have one more for you before chaos reigns in November and we can do whatever we want again (and according to this episode, apparently what we want to do is the live action Matthew Broderick Inspector Gadget movie).

Kim is back for a second dose of Found Foctober! I've spent years hearing about Hell House LLC and surely a horror movie that has three sequels HAS to be good. Let's get our creepy clown mannequins on!

Found Footage October (or Found Foctober as the cool kids are calling it) rolls on as we move to a movie neither Sam Also or I had ever even heard of. It's 2005's Noroi: The Curse, a movie we respected so much that we do our damndest to not spoil any of it.

It's somehow already October which means a month of horror and this year we're doubling down with a theme within a theme! Not only is it all horror - but it's all found footage horror!

We start things off with Grave Encounters, a movie I last watched when completely high on pain killers. Let's see what Kim and I think of a pain killer free watch!

It's the 20th anniversary of The Rock's big action debut "The Rundown" or apparently "Welcome to the Jungle" as Rob has always known it. Let's see how far he's come in the last twenty years but mostly let's argue about Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise!

Science once determined this is the scariest movie ever made (though apparently it has since been dethroned) so let's expose AK to it for the first time and see if the science is correct!

It's the back half of our weird Simon Says/Sez double bill! This week we have the 1999 "action" "comedy" "thriller" Simon Sez with Dennis Rodman. Oh and Dane Cook is there to make sure you never, EVER, want to see Dane Cook again in your life.

While this plan doesn't quite touch the strangeness of last year's "Swimfan September" we're still going a little weird to kick off the month. We're doing a Simon Says/Sez double bill! An obscure slasher movie from 2006 and an obscure action movie from 1999! And no, we absolutely have never seen either one.

We're starting off with the slasher as Sam Also and I indulge in some good old fashioned Crispin Glover weirdness.

It seems insane that we hadn't done this movie yet but it's nice to know we still have banger topics to pull out by episode 263. Let's delve into the world of teens and their teen problems with Can't Hardly Wait!

Children's movies from the 1990's don't often work out for us here but surely one where a baby almost inadvertently murders a bunch of dudes will come through right? OG Sam and Jordan join me to find out! It's Baby's Day Out!

It's our second journey into the world of Nicholas Sparks after doing The Notebook about 200 episodes ago! This time Marianne joins me to see if this walk is indeed one to remember or one to simply pass the time before doing something cooler besides just walking.
