DISASTERPIECE

EMERGENCY EPISODE!

The boys call an emergency episode to talk about MERCY, a movie that came and went faster than Chris Pratt’s lovable era.

Steve and Justin have a million questions about this Philip K. Limp Dick entry in the hard sci-fi genre, like: “Is this pro- or anti-AI?”, “Why did Rebecca Ferguson agree to this?”, and “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, ANDY DWYER??” Luckily, Judge Maddox herself is here to clear some of it up.

MERCY is already a strong contender for worst movie of 2026, but unlike real AI, it has no capacity to learn anything.

The boys are going back to where it all began to check in on their pal, QUIGLEY, the heaven-sent Pomeranian reincarnation of Gary Busey.

A lot has changed since Steve and Justin launched the Disasterpiece franchise with QUIGLEY, including the meteoric rise of LONGLEGS director Osgood Perkins, who is somehow the second lead in this faith-based family film.

Will this K-9-of-kindness kids’ adventure film hold up for the boys? Or have they seen too much insanity in the last five years for this to even register on their weird scale? Just like God, Justin and Steve are here to give Archie Channing one more shot.

COP ROCK!! If you listened to our episode about the pilot of the gritty ’90s musical cop show COP ROCK, you know that Justin and Steve fell in love with the boys in blue who sing the blues.

So they’re heading back out on the beat to cover the second episode of this mismatched genre mash-up, titled “Ill-Gotten Gaines.”

Will the second episode be as fun as the pilot? Will the songs still come out of nowhere and have almost nothing to do with the plot? Will the cowboy robot make an appearance? WILL RANDY NEWMAN STILL PERFORM THE THEME SONG??

Luckily for the boys, the answer to all of these questions is a resounding yes.

We plan on covering every episode of COP ROCK this year, so subscribe and don’t miss a thing.

DISASTERPIECE IS BACK! This week, the boys are taking a look at the cult classic KILLING AMERICAN STYLE from SAMURAI COP director Amir Shervan. Robert Z’Dar leads this domestic thriller that is unfortunately light on action (or anything exciting, really) and heavy on the ZZZZZZZZs.

The charismatic gentlemen Justin and Steve may have had to fight their way through this wet noodle of an action movie, but they came out the other side with lots of hot takes about this cold fish.

But even if this horseless slog was a letdown, the life story of its director is a weird and wild tale. He may have faltered on this outing, but his résumé will always have us saying, “Well done indeed, bro.”

HO HO HI YA! The boys are wrapping up our holiday season by finally watching A KARATE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. A movie that has as much to do with Christmas as gravy, psychics, murder, the justice system, clowns, and gun rights-and is somehow about all of those things.

Justin and Steve brave the cold and hit the dojo to study up and find out how the creators of a movie about karate and Christmas forgot to figuratively or literally deck any halls. Unfortunately, the answers put the writer/director so deep on the naughty list that coal doesn’t even want anything to do with him.

Thanks for a great year, everyone! We love you!

It’s 1983. You’re a dumb kid who wants a weird doll. Your parents have been blinded by capitalistic rage. Some kids got what they wanted. Some adults got hurt. Some people made a buttload of money. It was THE CABBAGE PATCH KIDS RIOTS.

Steve and Justin take a trip back in time to explore the moment when all of America lost its mind over a doll that looked like a dimple had a baby: the Cabbage Patch Kid.

Was there any good reason for the violence and greed that overtook Christmas of 1983 besides the doll being “so dang cute”? It doesn’t seem like it. But the deep, weird, and often creepy lore of the dolls themselves is enough to make you ask what was in the water in the early ’80s.

HO HO HO! The holidays are upon us, and the boys are cooking up a holiday feast of disasters, starting with 1985’s holiday miss, Santa Claus: The Movie.

Steve and Justin head to the North Pole to figure out if it’s even possible to tell a straightforward Santa origin story. The lore is messy, the rules are obtuse, and the magic would drive a man to madness.

But the real question is: how can you spend this much money, build sets this big, create special effects this good, have John Lithgow chew the scenery this hard… and it’s still SOOOOO BORING???

In the heyday of ’90s adult-themed television, gritty cop shows were everywhere, but legendary TV producer Steven Bochco was the only one brave enough to ask, “What if they also sing?”

ABC’s COP ROCK is a see-it-to-believe-it Disasterpiece and easily Justin and Steve’s new favorite TV show. Join the boys as they reopen the cold case of the greatest tonal mismatch ever put on prime-time TV. Experience the whiplash of jumping from a tough-as-nails police procedural to some of the goofiest musical numbers they’ve ever seen, alongside some of the saddest songs ever put in a musical.

There are a lot of “how?” questions when it comes to COP ROCK, but the big one for us is: WHY DOESN’T EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS??

This week, the boys take you all the way to the year 3000 to face down one of the biggest, baddest Disasterpieces of all time: Battlefield Earth. But there’s no way we’re getting into this fight without some back-up. Luckily, Adam Volerich, director of the soon-to-be melancholy Christmas classic Drink and Be Merry, and co-host of the podcast Eye Of The Duck, is here to help Justin and Steve destroy the Psychlos and free the man-animals.

Battlefield Earth is one of the wildest rides the boys have ever taken, and just like the pseudo-religion it’s based on, the more questions we asked, the weirder the answers became. So sit back, put your disproportionately long legs up, grab a Kerbango, and enjoy.

It’s a huge day for the boys as they sit down with the one-and-only VITALIY VERSACE, director of the Disasterpiece classics The Last Vampire on Earth and Born Into Mafia.

From trying to understand his filmmaking philosophy to unlocking his mysterious YouTube page, Justin and Steve had a million questions for the Russian director. And their most surprising discovery is… he’s a pretty normal and very sweet guy who just loves making movies.

The boys also discover that Vitaliy has been involved in dozens of big-budget film productions, and he was more than willing to spill the tea on some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. But like all things Vitaliy touches, the more they found out, the more mysterious he became.

A huge thank you to Vitaliy for taking time out of his busy schedule to sit down with us.
