Were you more of a Mortal Kombat kid or a Street Fighter kid? We discuss this important Millennial rite of passage, plus go in-depth for our review of the brand new STREET FIGHTER movie. Did it Hadoken us in the nostalgia feels? Or leave us feeling less than “PERFECT!” And how does it stand up in the wake of another throwback fighting game-turned-movie… Mortal Kombat II? That’s not all! We also have a religious experience over seeing Ken Russell’s The Devils in theaters for its glorious 4K res...

See you in the fog! It’s haunt season, so we’re back to break down our full walkthrough experience at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights 35 in Universal Studios Orlando. Hear all about our pulse-pounding encounters with the Deadites from Evil Dead Burn, the bluesy vampires of Sinners, Pinhead and the Cenobites from Hellraiser, the Demogorgons from Stranger Things 5, a trip inside the legacy of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, the circus tent clash between Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow, the blood...

DOUBLE TROUBLE, Y’ALL! We’re bringing back the double feature, and for some reason, we decided the best way to do that was to pair Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil with the 40th Anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie (the animated one). 80s childhood trauma meets body horror hilarity! What’s not to get excited about? We explain why we paired these two films together, go in-depth to review both, and reveal the winner of our big 4K giveaway. It’s a good time. Wanna be on the show? Call us and ...

Is Onslaught the next great action/horror movie? Does it live up to the hype? And does Eric Wareheim know how to run like a normal human being? Matt and Mark have thoughts. Join us for this spoiler-stacked discussion on Adam Wingard’s newest film that brings chaos and carnage to the trailer park. Along the way, we also discuss bug zappers, some oddly questionable World War II stories, and of course, the beginning of Horror Show 2026! Listen in for your chance to help us with our Halloween epis...

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS IS 25 YEARS OLD?! How did that happen? Where did the time go? Where did Matt’s hair go? Buckle up, we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Fast and the Furious — the movie that started a bajillion dollar franchise built on cars, Coronas, and FAMILY. How well does the original “street level” film hold up after seeing Dom and his crew race around the world, destroy submarines, and go to space? Let’s find out as we hit the NOS down memory lane… Wanna be on the sho...

Well… Is Supergirl (2026) really that bad? The internet seems to think so, but where do we stand? In this episode, we review the latest DC Studios film starring Milly Alcock and ask the only question that matters: Does Supergirl actually deserve the hate? No clickbait here. No rage farming. Just two grown men having a painfully honest discussion about the DCEU, James Gunn, and where superhero movies go from here. Oh, and we talk a little Temu, too. Join us. Wanna be on the show? Call us and le...

This week, we’re reviewing THE ODYSSEY! I’ll make this short and sweet: one of us liked it, and one of us didn’t. Who was was swept away by the spectacle? And who felt Trojan horsed?

History teachers are gonna hate this episode. Before Christopher Nolan hides his massive IMAX cameras inside a horse for The Odyssey, we ask the only question that matters: Did TROY do it better twenty years ago? In this episode, we’re throwing Wolfgang Petersen’s Trojan horse up against Nolan’s Trojan horse to determine the ultimate Trojan Horse champ. We also chat about James Cameron’s Billie Eilish movie, Mark’s Walter Hill fest, and an exciting (?) opportunity for the show that… well… we j...

WE BACK. After a lengthy break, Matt and Mark are back up in your podcast feed, full of… well, full of something. This episode, we’re talking Masters of the Universe (2026), the huge Kubrick Criterion boxed set, and over-sharing a whole buncha Rec’s of everything we watched off-air. We’ve got forgotten Bruce Willis movies, the triumphant return of Ben Wheatley, Hokum, My Science Project, and more. This is the comeback episode. Destined to live rent-free in your heads. Join us. Wanna be on th...

Travel back with us to Eternia! In this episode, we’re revisiting the cult classic Masters of the Universe (1987) ahead of the upcoming He-Man remake? Reboot? Requel? Does this live-action adaptation still hold up, or is it pure ‘80s nostalgia? Join us for a Cannon Films love fest, praising Dolph Lundgren’s take on He-Man, Frank Langella’s iconic Skeletor, and the film’s awesome practical FX. We also break down the new film’s cast and compare them with their 80s counterparts. If you’re excit...

SHARK!!! Get your flippers wet and dust off your old copies of Jaws, because Matt and Mark are getting back in to chum the shallow waters of new shark cinema. Yes, we’re reviewing THRASH, a Netflix original that bares its fangs and yet can’t decide if it wants to be the next Jaws or the next Sharknado. Or both. Why is it so hard to create a good new shark movie from scratch? While we deep-dive into that question, we also chat about Singapore, our most embarrassing college memories, and Matt’s...

Come back to a glorious time where movies were made for adults… and marketed to kids. There’s flaming bow and arrows, hands getting chopped off, witches, bodies being caged, a live birth in the forest, and Alan Rickman threatening people with spoons. It’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves! We review the 1991 blockbuster classic — a first time watch for Mark by the way. Before that, we give you what you really want: a MONKEY BREAD taste test! Does it live up to the gooey hype of that box? We also ...

MONKEY BREAD. (Listen long enough, and that will make sense. And make you very, very hungry.) THE “SPOOK-A-BLAST!” That’s what Sam Raimi dubbed his stylish fun house blend of horror and splatstick comedy. And that term definitely applies to his latest and greatest work, SEND HELP. It’s a survival thriller that’s brutal, gory, and hilarious. And we have a spook-a-BLAST reviewing it! Join us as we rank our top Sam Raimi movies, praise the gnarly amounts of gore that somehow still make us cackle ...

Good news: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze is celebrating its 35th anniversary… and we’re reviewing it! Bad news: the Alamo sucks now… and we’re complaining about it! We cover both in-depth on this latest episode. Grab your Pizza Hut breadsticks, dust off that white Secret of the Ooze VHS tape, and join us for a turtle-y awesome celebration of one of the most anticipated sequels of all time. Wanna be on the show? Call us and leave a voicemail at (707) 948-6707. Visit our ...

It’s been twenty years since we dropped in on the quaint little town of Silent Hill. It’s time we return! In this episode, we discuss Christophe Gans’ return to the Silent Hill franchise and try to understand his directorial choices, like including a spider creature with some major junk in the trunk. Ah, the French. Nothing will prepare you for The Booty Spider. Listen if you dare… Wanna be on the show? Call us and leave a voicemail at (707) 948-6707. Visit our Linktree for more ways you can...

Wicked: For Good. One Battle After Another. That other one with Stellan Skarkygard. Those awards-bait movies did NOT make our Favorite Films List of 2025. But you already know that!

Santa’s got a brand new bag… a brand new GRAB BAG! Yes, come celebrate the return of our annual HOLIDAY GRAB BAG EPISODE! There’ll be retro Christmas commercials, holiday hijinks, and movie reviews. The theme this year: LUMP OF COAL — crappy christmas movies rated lower than a 5 on IMDb. And those lumpy movies are… Jingle All the Way 2 (starring Larry the Cable Guy!) and the Syfy original, Santa Jaws. Happy holidays, everyone! Thanks for another year of podcasting fun. We’ll see you all in 202...

‘Tis the season for GREMLINS! That’s right, we asked Saint Nick for a little holiday fun and he delivered with Joe Dante’s monster masterpiece. We deep-dive into the classic film for Mark’s first watch ever, and geek out over Gizmo, Stripe, and of course, good ol’ Dick Miller. We also announce this year’s holiday Grab Bag theme, so get pumped for that. If you want to get straight to the Gremlins talk, it happens around 21:00. But if you scrub ahead, just know that… I ATE THE BONES. HASHTAG, ...

Edgar Wright returns to theaters this week, and so do we! We’re reviewing his big blockbuster update of THE RUNNING MAN before it loses all of its premium screens because no one is seeing it. Whyyyy? You can scrub directly to the review at 21:57 to hear our spoilery thoughts. But if you do, you’ll miss us chatting about Heinz 57 and laughing like idiots about old AOL screen names. Good times. Oh, and speaking of idiots, Matt met William Shatner. It didn’t go well. To hear all about his William...

We’re heading into the Badlands! In this episode, we’re talking all things Predator – from deep-diving into this latest blockbuster installment PREDATOR: BADLANDS, to ranking our favorite Predator films across the franchise. There will be blood, Alien crossovers, and of course, Matt’s Danny Glover impressions from Predator 2. “WANT SOME CANDY??” And best of all, we’re doing it all with a special guest! Our buddy, Patrick M, returns to the show to help us review the film. Our main Predator-pac...
