How bad could SNOW WHITE possibly be? Could it really be worse than THE ALTO KNIGHTS?

Bibbs and Witney review those big epic flops, and also the horror movie THE WOMAN IN THE YARD, the post-apocalyptic musical O'DESSA, the feel-good antifascist penguin flick THE PENGUIN LESSONS, the public domain slasher POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN, and the sci-fi monster movie ASH!

Because our patrons demanded it, Bibbs and Witney present their picks for the best films that flagrantly knocked off a pre-existing work!

You can probably think of plenty of so-called "mockbusters" but movie history is littered with great films, many of them classics in their own right, that wouldn't have been made - at least at the same time, in the same way - if it weren't for the success or notoriety of another release.

UPDATE: There were some phantom sound effects in the last few minutes of the podcast as originally uploaded, A new version has been uploaded with the audio fixed. Editing a podcast while you have COVID is tricky. Our apologies.

Also on WE'VE GOT MAIL, Bibbs and Witney talk about movies famous for one shot or cinematic technique, why they've been too hard on Bones in the original STAR TREK, who should direct and star in one of the most exciting sci-fi movie ideas of all time, the difference (if there is one) between fiction and fan fiction, great Jesus and stoner movies, and a controversial element of CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD they forgot to mention in their review!

The dubba-dubba-WB won a bidding war for a cartoon sitcom about a mutated family who live in the landfill of an affluent suburb. Then they canceled it after only eight episodes!

Will Ferrell and Jean Smart co-star in THE OBLONGS, a relic of early 2000s boundary-pushing comedies that didn't always age well. Was this the big exception?

Filmmaker CHELSEA SPIRITO joins William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold to decide if THE OBLONGS was... CANCELED TOO SOON!
