Leap Day's Curse has struck again, driving us all the way to the year TWO THOUSAND for Ready to Rumble!

Is wrestling real or scripted, because this movie sure doesn't know! Why does Scott Caan always show his butt? Why is there SO MUCH POOP in this movie? Why doesn't it get into the insanity of wrestling?! Why isn't there more Martin Landau? ARE WE DOING SHE'S ALL THAT?!

It's the nearly-final FOURBRUARY episode: Herbie Goes Bananas!

Why does this kiddo call Herbie Ocho? How many great character actors can you fit into one movie? What's up with the bananas? Why doesn't Herbie do more car-related shenanigans? Plus, a digression into children's television programming. Plus, Chloris Leachman and Harvey Korman running wild!

It's FOURBRUARY! (Maybe for the last time!)

We workshop a new werewolf idea (TMTMTM), peanuts on Coke, Coke as bourbon, massive continuity issues, random day/night shifts, a true and serious lack of werewolf transitions, a bizarre medley of werewolf designs, some truly random nudity, a weirdo shopkeeper and one TRULY nasty transition.

It's the single most confusing movie we've ever done on the show: William Friedkin's Cruising!

Why is this movie made this way? What on EARTH is Al Pacino doing in it? Why is it completely out of sorts? Why is everyone named similarly? Why does everyone look the same? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

We're kicking off 2020 with a weird little movie turning 35: Tuff Turf!

Baby James Spader is doing a not-so-great James Dean to woo future Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards away from her EXTREMELY abusive boyfriend with the help of a baby Robert Downey, Jr.! Andrew reveals WAY too much knowledge about the Real Housewives canon, we don't know enough about California, a very strange reality, paintball guns and Errol Flynn $hit.

You serious, Dissecting the 80s?

We are! And we're taking on Christmas Vacation for our annual holiday episode. Where does this rank amongst the Vacation films? Are there too many animal sequences in this movie? Juliette Lewis is fantastic, Randy Quaid is a gem, and this movie is awesome!

We're kicking off December with a super fun buddy cop movie turning 30 this year: Tango & Cash!

Did Tripp finally learn an impression? (Yes) Does he do it too much? (Also, yes). Andrew confuses Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze for an entire movie, so Tripp is concerned for his health. Stallone continues to mumble his way through everything, but in nicer clothes! So many explosions. So many character actors.
