On this week's episode, the gang was live on the Internet a while back chatting about the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot! Yes, this was the film that had a horrendously animated all-lizard Reptile, a really cool prologue sequence that feels like it's from another (better) movie, someone getting stabbed with their own frozen blood, and, you guessed it, a no-name protagonist that no one in the audience cares about! PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game and a stupid t-shirt contest!  Mortal Kombat (2021) stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim, Mehcad Brooks, Tadanobu Asano, Chin Han, Ludi Lin, Max Huang, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion; directed by Simon McQuoid.

This week on the program, the gang is having an absolute ball talking about the Tony Scott action classic, Top Gun! How fantastic is it to see the great James Tolkan basically playing Principal Strickland, but in the Navy? Does Kelly McGillis's character live in the same house as Carrot Top and his buddies in Chairman of the Board? And how come we couldn't get a little more Merlin?

Recorded 10.13.21 at Hilarities in Cleveland, OH On this week's episode, it was the gang's first time back on the road in two years and they were pumped to chat about the totally bonkers slasher sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors! How ridiculous is it that this actor looks exactly like Bill Maher? Why couldn't we get a little more with that eerie Freddy puppet? And why does Larry Fishburne just vanish from the film entirely?

On this week's episode, the gang goes back to King Country to talk about the lackluster 1984 Stephen King adaptation, Firestarter! Why was Gene Siskel so unimpressed with all these awesome explosions? Why do we bother using computer effects nowadays when blowing up a dummy is one of the greatest things a human being can see with their own two eyes? And where is the timeline where we got the wild-ass John Carpenter adaptation? PLUS: Litigation-lover George Lucas goes hard at Stephen King! Firestarter stars Drew Barrymore, David Keith, Martin Sheen, Heather Locklear, Art Carney, Freddie Jones, Louise Fletcher, Moses Gunn, and the great George C. Scott; directed by Mark L.

On this week's episode, the gang travels back to the early 1970s to chat about a total foodie film set in 2022, Soylent Green! How fantastic is Edward G. Robinson in this movie? Who let Heston wear that hat the whole time? Could we get a few more scenes with that arcade machine? And what's going in that gross stew that Robinson cooks up?

Robinson, Joseph Cotton, Leigh Taylor-Young, Chuck Connors, and Brock Peters; directed by Richard Fleischer.

On this week's episode, the guys are chatting about the incredibly dumb viddya game adaptation, Max Payne! How wild is it that he's a down-on-his-luck detective who also has dead family baggage—what are the odds? Why would anyone do this Valkyr drug recreationally? And how in the world does Beau Bridges not get the Credit Hammer at the top?

On this week's episode the gang finds themselves in a bit of a We Like Movies situation as they chat about the outrageously entertaining Paul W.S. Anderson film, Event Horizon! How great is Larry Fishburne in this movie? Should they have just gone all-in and made this another Hellraiser-in-space film? Why can't anyone just say it's Hell they're going inside? And look out, we've got ourselves another Solaris-esque dead wife here! PLUS: How different would this movie have been if Sam Neill's role went to one of its earlier candidates—Arnold!  Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy, Sean Pertwee, and Jason Isaacs; directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.  Catch the guys LIVE next week when they play Boston, D.C., and Philly!

Recorded 11.19.21 at the historic Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina On this week's episode, the guys are live in Asheville, NC chatting about the outrageous Arnold & Danny "family" comedy, Junior! Why is Danny DeVito's fertility clinic simply named "The Fertility Clinic"? Is Arnold reading medical dialogue off of clipboards? Why is this ex-wife just popping in like Kramer? What business is this of Frank Langella's at all? And have two actors had less chemistry together than Arnold and Emma?
