"I've been doing this for 50 years! How do you think I learned how to ram my fist into someone's stomach and to break their goddamn spine?"

Well, gentles and ladymen, we've come to the conclusion of "All About Arnold April" and our career retrospective on the iconic Austrian action hero! This week, we discuss Arnie's post-political movie career, the ups and mostly downs of the Terminator franchise, as well as how much of a blast the last 30 minutes of this movie are!

"All About Arnold April" rolls on as we discuss his last big blockbuster action movie before hitting the political circuit! We discuss Arnold's relationship with James Cameron as well as James Cameron's career. We also talk Jamie Lee Curtis' filmography, how 9/11 killed all the sequel hopes this movie had, and how much we both dislike Tom Arnold's ad libbing.

"No man may have me, unless he's beaten me in a fair fight."

Welcome, one and all, to "All About Arnold April"! This month, we're celebrating the Austrian powerhouse himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, by discussing his unfortunately failed attempts at kicking off franchises. So, to kick things off, we're talking about a film that the man himself personally considers one of the worst of his career! We discuss the career trajectory of Brigitte Nielsen, the atrocious misogyny dripping off of this film, and Stephen makes the mistake of asking Brett about Dungeons and Dragons!

"No man can stand against it alone. Something is out there... waiting."

This week, in honor of Marvel's latest attempt at a horror-adjacent superhero film, Morbius, we're talking about their first and most-forgotten attempt. We discuss which "Thing" came first -- 'Swamp' or 'Man,' the complete departure from the source material, and Brett fan casts his version of an early 2000's Midnight Sons movie!

"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."

School is back in session, listeners, and this week we're appropriately joined by one of Stephen's high school buddies, Andrew Johnson of the Ephesiology Podcast! We discuss the timelessness of this story, the careers of all these great actors, and which character we related to the most when we were teens. We also break down the psychology of growing up, being an adult, and reconciling with media we love that might be a bit problematic. We get real deep on this one, folks! You don't want to miss it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, dear listeners! This week, we're going to celebrate the holiday by discussing the gritty reboot to end all gritty reboots! We talk about the inconsistent lore, the completely unlikable characters, and we pitch some "out of this world" ideas for a sequel!

"This isn't happening, Dale. We're not here. It's just a bad dream!"

This week, we're joined by our good friend James McCormick of the Cast of Cthulhu podcast to talk about one of his favorite films! We'll discuss our shared love of Brian Blessed, the incredible Queen soundtrack, and Stephen does a spot-on Dino De Laurentis impression.  Does Brett's voice hold out despite his illness? Better listen to find out!

"Cats come when they feel like it. Not when they're told."

In honor of The Batman hitting theaters this week, we're going to talk about this disastrous spinoff of the Bat-franchise! We take this opportunity to also discuss our histories with "The World's Greatest Detective" and digging into how doomed this movie seemed to be from the start. We talk about the development hell, "The Oscar Curse" hitting Halle Berry, and Brett really takes the performative feminism in this movie to task!
