Justin & Mike dust off their lab coats this week to look back at this iconic Mel Brooks comedy from 1974.  Non-stop jokes and sight gags aplenty.  Plus the boys share the movies they saw back in the70s they had no business seeing that young.  It's embarrassing, painful, and hilarious.  Just like this podcast.

Bruce Willis & Ben Affleck are tasked to save the world and it only gets more plausible from there. The boys have a laugh riot riffing thru this quintessential 90s movie. We promise you'll never eat animal crackers again.  Did we mention there's an Evel Kneivel canyon jump in space?

Imagine not wanting every part of your life available to the public.  Stupid, right?  Luckily, we're way more civilized today.  Jim Carrey delivers an amazing performance without even once talking with his butt.  The gang is so inspired, they talk about their own favorite reality shows and embarrass themselves accordingly.  Our favorite Alaskan warrior princess, @mollsmusings joins us too!

This is that one where Rocky beats the odds.  Also, Mr.T and Hulk Hogan take a break from their London stage careers to lend a hand.  So you get all of that plus Frank Stallone's disco soundtrack?  Not sure why you would ask for anything else.  Plus the boys are so inspired, they discuss their favorite sports comeback movies.

Bruce and Brad Pitt's middle finger chew some major scenery in this amazing time travel fever dream of a movie.  There's plenty to admire in this mid-90s cautionary tale plus Justin and Mike use their own time machines to discuss the movies they'd go back to  rescue.

This time we're taking a fresh look at this much maligned sci-fi epic.  Could it possibly be as bad as we remember? Probably.  Is it as bad as today's bad movies? Better question. We're already overthinking it.  Just listen and laugh, rat brain!

This week we're looking at the sweetest thing to come out of the 80s since Skittles. Both charming and quotable, this simple fairy tale is a fan favorite. Are we too grumpy and cynical to still enjoy it? Fortunately we're joined by special guest Dr. K, @pinotjones to help sort it all out.

Hang on to your dingos. This post-apocalyptic action classic set a standard for high speed chases, amazing stunt work,  and ass-less leather chaps.  Mel talks 16 times and there's a lord Humungus among us.  And to make it even better, America's sweetheart @mollsmusings is in the studio this week!

It's Stallone vs Snipes in this 90's sci-fi/action flaming bag of dog doo.   The total disregard of human life and public property is proudly on display for all to see. Plus all restaurants in the future are Taco Bell.  The horror. Have a listen only to see how much Justin and Mike can take.
