The boys go back to the golden era of brain rot to explore our long obsession with the video game.  From Pong to XBOX, these consoles were our baby sitters, our pacifiers, and our rage generators. So grab your quarters and prepare to relive the days where an Italian-American could clobber a monkey with a big hammer and no one raised an eyebrow.

You Send Our Podcast to the Hospital, We Send Your Podcast to the Morgue. That's the Grumpy Nostalgia Way.  The boys go full OG this week reliving Brian De Palma's 1987 classic.  In a time when Americans couldn't drink, we learn that baseball bats, police brutality, and casual Italian-American racism could deliver us to moral clarity.  Fresh new face, Costner, nearly pulls his weight against a legendary performance from Oscar winner Connery here. The boys are so impressed by the end that they decide to cover their other favorite gangster movies that aren't the Godfather.

Mandalorians and Grogus are fine, but us 80s kids would rather see some stop motion terror and a galactic build-a-bear workshop taking down the Empire.  The country is gonna remember why they like Star Wars in the next few weeks so we shamelessly dust off one of our favorite episodes from a long time ago and a galaxy blah blah blah and get a head start.  Show favorite Aron joins the gang this time to share the pain.  Stick around to the end where they gang discuss their other favorite movies featuring characters with daddy issues. It is unavoidable.  It is your...destiny.

This week's brand new episode features what we call a "thinking man's Sci-Fi" movie.  Generally, that's code for boring. And there's some of that to be fair, but for the most part this one is pretty good. If you can buy McConaughey as a priest, you can pretty much believe anything.  Even the existence of little green men (which there are none here either).  Stick around to the end where we present part 2 of our 2026 Summer Movie Preview: The Leftovers.  Is as intriguing as it sounds.

Resident show punching bag Costner writes, directs, stars, and even sings the ending credits song!  Way to hog the movie, K!  An extended spring break kept the boys out of the studio this week, so we humbly ask our overly patient audience to give this episode another listen.  Not a lot of y'all heard this one the first time and we understand.  This movie is a letter bomb.  We get it.
Stick around for the end where our cohosts review a list of the worst movies of the nineties to see how many of them they've sat through.  Play along at home if you enjoy pain.

After 35 years, most things tend to degrade.  We certainly did.  But this is not the case for one of the greatest psychological horror films of all time.  Join the gang as they revisit the culinary curiosities in this amazing Jonathan Demme classic. Rural Appalachia, oversized panties, homemade Halloween masks, and a well-placed tuck are just the start. Our only regret is that we covered this movie way too early in our podcasting career.  The result was fine, but the fine-tuned listener will appreciate an extra level of horror upon hearing our early attempt at being clever podcasters.

With Silence of The Lambs returning to theaters this week for it's 25th Anniversary, the boys decide to spoil the party by reviewing the film where it all started, Michael Mann's stylish Manhunter from 1986.  Heavy handed and completely free of any levity at all, it's a bit of a chore to sit through, but we knew the risks when we took the job.  Bereft of any other original ideas, the boys pad out the rest of this episode with their first annual 2026 Summer Movie Preview.  The results of which have to be heard to be believed.

The Artemis crew WISHES they could be as cool as the goofy miners-turned-astronauts in this ridiculous Michael Bay extravaganza from 1998.  Grab your animal crackers and settle in for nearly 3 hours full of space dementia and good old America saving the world yet again.  Oh, spoiler alert: Gruber doesn't make it (whoever the hell he was).

We're going full icky this week by covering a film by the recently deceased Hollywood icon Chuck Norris.  Yes, we tried to avoid memes and jokes and, yes, we failed.  Over 120 gratuitous kills and zero sleeves. Not a bad ratio for a movie in the 80s.  Oh, and an armadillo out-acts most of the cast.

With The Mummy Returns returning to theaters for a special 25th-anniversary this weekend, we thought it prudent to dust off our own take on the franchise from several years ago. Though not a well preserved as a mummy, this episode still has some life in it and quite frankly we're too busy getting next Monday's release ready to do our job as podcasters properly.  Until then, please enjoy Brendan Fraser's energy and Rachel Weisz's face.  Emphasis on the latter
