“Life is pain. Get used to it.”

It’s our annual Holiday Spectacular and this year, we’re tackling our first ever Shane Black movie on the podcast! We break down exactly which of Black’s movies have the Christmas setting, distinguish between a Christmas movie and a movie set at Christmas, get into the dissolution of the Sony Spider-Man Universe after last week’s episode on Madame Web, and break down the careers of Shane Black, Geena Davis, and Samuel L. Jackson! All this and SO MUCH MORE on this year’s Disenfranchised Holiday Special!

“His name is Ezekiel Sims. He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders just before she died.”

Her web truly does connect us all as the whole gang gets together to discuss this year’s first Sony Spider-Man-less Spider-Man film in anticipation of Kraven the Hunter opening in theaters this weekend! Along the way, we chat about the current state of superhero and comic book movies, the futility of Spider-Man movies without an actual Spider-Man, the Morgan Freeman battle in South Park: The Fractured-But-Whole, Spider-Man video games, and the joy of researching spiders in the Amazon with your mom!

Guten Krampusnacht, friends! Today’s the day we celebrate St. Nicholas and his “dark shadow,” the Krampus… so we’ve elected to discuss this 2015 holiday horror comedy! Along the way, we’ll discuss Tucker’s frustrations with his vape cartridge, Stephen’s initial thoughts on a thematically appropriate beer selection, how to become a foley artist, and debate whether or not it’s okay to laugh at characters like Howard and Linda after the 2024 election! TRIGGER WARNING: This one gets a bit political!

“I used to be legit. I was too legit. I was too legit to quit… but now, I'm NOT legit. I'm unlegit. And for that reason, I must quit.”

It's Thanksgiving and we like to party! This week, we're joined by returning guest, Noah East to talk about this late-aughts comedy cult classic and with it, formative Columbia House Records, Hot Rod vs. Popstar, reimagining classic stories in a modern context, and a rundown of the performances from Isla Fisher to Jorma Taccone!

“We’re attached to the project.”

Monday was the 65th anniversary of the first episode of “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends” and we’re celebrating the second part of our two-part Rocky and Bullwinkle marathon by talking about this 2000 live-action/animation hybrid featuring one of the most iconic duos in the history of animation! Along the way, we discuss the highs and lows of this adaptation, the highs and lows of the Farrelly Brothers comedies, whatever happened to Piper Perabo, and a rousing point-counterpoint on the topic of Jason Alexander! All this and SO MUCH MORE! Be sure you don’t miss this one!

“It’s good to be bad!”

In honor of the 65th anniversary of “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle” cartoon show next week, we’re taking the next couple weeks to dive into the two big screen adaptation of the classic Jay Ward animated series! And we’re kicking things off with a look at the 1992 made-for-TV (but intended for the cinemas) movie featuring Moose and Squirrel’s arch-nemeses! Join us as we talk our histories with Rocky and Bullwinkle, discuss why Rocket J. Squirrel is the greatest straight man of all time, and debate which elements work in this film and which ones don’t!

Happy November, dear listeners! We’re kicking off the month of thanks by welcoming back our friend DeVaughn Taylor, returning to the pod to talk about one of his favorite cinematic subgenres - the unconventional superhero film!

“Keep it up. Just keep it up. I’ve got friends in Jersey.”

We’re closing out our fifth annual Spooky-thon with a Straight Up, our quarterly foray into the favorite films of our own Tucker! This time, we’re covering a 1983 psychological horror film and, while we do, we disagree on this movie’s ending, our personal histories with actors Peter Weller and Maury Chaykin, and reminisce about sports drinks from the ‘90s!

“Blood works best.”

This week, Spooky-thon 2024 keeps on trucking as we get prepped for Venom: The Last Dance to arrive in theaters by talking about a horror film also conveniently called Venom! Along the way, we find time to talk about Tucker’s mozzarella stick obsession, 2002's The Thing video game, the life of an old-school projectionist, and so much more!

“All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die.”

The gang’s all here to discuss this horror-comedy classic! In addition to our discussion of the various actors involved (including the late, great Donald Sutherland), we also take time to dig into the career of Sasha Jenson, do some armchair psychologizing of Joss Whedon, debate whether separating art from artist is possible, and take a very special trip to Brett’s Video Game Corner!
