Ben & Dan's Movie Night

A huge Merry Christmas to all our listeners!

Our first Seasonal Episode introduces Ben to the "other" 90's Jack Frost film, where a convicted Criminal known for putting people on ice is himself turned into a snowman. 

The fictional town of Snowmonton and the boring sheriff Will Tinsel (Sam) is looking for closure on the night of Jack's Execution, tonights events will not execute as intended as Jacks' transport collides with an untested military-grade acidic substance.

This film has it all - governmental conspiracy, bumbling local law enforcement, and A child who needs a reference image to dress a snowman (coal for eyes, mouth, buttons, and carrot for a nose).

I worried that I would struggle to get out of the mental shadow of Micheal Keaton's "Dead Dad" Christmas movie. I was pleasantly surprised that those worries melted away, poured through a keyhole, and bashed expectations out of my head as of colliding with a box of baubles.

Please enjoy checkout our animated trailers on our new TikTok "BenDansMovieNight" Channel. 

In our Trailer for the second episode of Ben & Dan's Movie Night - Dan got me to watch the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

In our Trailer for the very first episode of Ben & Dan's Movie Night - I got Dan to watch the JCVD Classic and put some bits together in Blender. 

Tonight's movie is for all of you who vaguely remember watching something when you were younger and not entirely sure if it happened or was just a fever-induced nightmare. 

What do I refer to, the wondrous place where those it belongs to can have their hopes and dreams realized.

If you are not welcome in Rainbow pond - kiss your sweet dreams and maybe even your life goodbye.

Dan Introduces me to the film so incomprehensible and sad that even the last two years have not generated as many tears as the film makes every effort to make each character Cry. 

Tree Frog Jonathon has the battle of his life ahead of him as he navigates life from spawning in the danger zone, dodging bullies, finding love, learning to live, and trying not to get whacked by a giant Lobster Mobster sent by the evil Leopold.

People are going to croak, some might get whacked, you are going to see a lot of tears and it's so badly dubbed it might seem "Not Fair".

So join us tonight! let's see what your upper ribbit limit is when we put our whole heart in it and still think it's a croak-of-shit. 

Imagine my surprise to find out that not only did Dan miss this film but somehow evaded the leg drop WWF Hulkamania insanity of the 90's.

I introduce Dan to Hulk Hogan's second cinematic adventure, a Space/Comedy Romp featuring the one and only Christopher Lloyd (who barely registers any interest from Dan (even though he still has my Back to the future Blu-Ray set)).

Space racist Shep Ramsey fails to save a prisoner, blows up a ship filled with potentially innocent "workers" and is rewarded with his own worse nightmare - R&R on Earth.

I relish in introducing him to this film and we are both taken aback at just how ludicrous the film is in its approach to casual spying and providing would-be sex offenders with "Freeze" guns. 

We spend a long time talking about the extra-marital situation rather than the extra-terrestrial dread that should incur when talking about intergalactic villains. 

*Disclaimer - This is not a Cuck film but we think it definitely could be a "Cuck Film" world-title contender.

What do Women Want? Is that a question worth pondering - would you want to be able to read women's minds?

This is the real question we ponder for valentines day. 

Listen to us on your special evening as we kick back and watch the alpha male, absent father, blatant misogynist, and coffee worker harasser Nick (Mel Gibson) gets bestowed an incredible gift then watch him slowly mentally neg a strong confident woman at the top of her game until she stares at his junk.

Maybe we could all learn a lesson from this film because this is the magic films are often about - not that Dan would know as he still hasn't been bothered to find my Back to the Future Trilogy and watch the second film. 

Enjoy! - Ben & Dan

Happy 1st Anniversary to us - As a Thank You for Listening ...

Is there a better way to celebrate our first year of podcasting than dropping a film that ends up so random that the best way to honor it is to randomly set it as a bonus episode? 

 "This is probably the dumbest film we are going to watch ... until we watch the second one" - Ben (to Dan)

The Charlie Sheen (we don't talk about "That" stuff) comedy always makes me laugh and somewhat was able to generate the occasional chuckle from Dan ( The self proclaimed laugh out loud abstainer).

We admit that the film doesn't really work as Dan has almost no exposure to the style of comedy ...because he has never seen Airplane - Let that Soak in.

"I'm Confused" - Dan (about the film)

Barely 30 minutes in we really feel like we have nowhere near enough knowledge of the films it parodies, we don't understand why they didn't parody Tom Cruises Pete Mitchell entering women toilets. 

Ultimately we decided that Hot Shots failed to set our great balls on fire as it doesn't parody Top Gun enough. 

"He should have Flipped the Bird of the f**king the Bed" - Ben

However, this is a great example that we go into a Movie with No Script, No Plan, No Prep.

Please Enjoy!

What are the odds that there are still films so obscure, so small in scope that Dan has missed?

The minuscule facts get dwarfed by the incomprehensible chances that space cop Brick Bardo lands on a planet over 10 thousand lightyears and unwillingly gets involved in the Drug scenes of 90's Bronx.

We enjoyed our 13" Dollman, whom of which goes from humble Dirty Laundry defender to a protector of the weak.

So kick back, relax and listen to us watch this film in small chunks, talk about those tiny details and berate it for having worse effects than Jurassic Park.
