Hate Watch / Great Watch

Will Congleton (you might remember him from waaay back on episode 7) returns to talk with us about another obscure gem - 1965’s Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine. We gush over the late, great Vincent Price, sing the instantly catchy theme song, wonder how many flights are in a flock, explain who the heck that biker guy in the dungeon is and discuss sexy bank robbery and Where the Red Fern Grows, as well as defining the phrase “champagne accident” and the origins of the “chin chin” toast. WARNING: This episode might not be suitable for Craigs or Todds.

Hunter’s roommate and friend of the show Krystal Brackett watched You’re Next (2011) with us. We talk at length about how much it sucks to step on a nail (just ignore everything from 1:26:14 to 1:29:33 if you can't handle it). Also Allison was way too loud, Krystal explains what a "goon bag" is, and everyone attempts an Australian accent at some point - usually with poor results. Enjoy!

Frankie Marsh joins us for Ocean’s 11 (2001), arguably the most-referenced heist film of our generation. In this episode Bob Barker superfans may be offended, we talk Tom of Finland's Batman, DePalma's gonna DePalma, we share stories about lying to strangers, The Bourbon Squad, just for Dec we leave in a brief Christmas Movie reference, how Ocean's is a light sci-fi film and we discuss Joe Coyle the South Philly Robin Hood.

Though we're proudly Philly through and through, our first Sly Stallone movie isn’t Rocky, but 1986’s Cobra! We are joined by our friend Pat McGinn who is not always for public consumption making this our Most Heavily Edited Episode To Date! Pat talks about: his attraction to villain Brian Thompson, how much ketchup is too much, getting the most bang for your grenade buck, compares Iñárritu’s Birdman to Always Sunny's Charlie Work, drunkenly explains Christmas and even tries to get frequent guest Bryan Bierman in trouble!

Contact (1997)

On this very special episode Hunter’s honest-to-goodness real-life mom Lynette Notte joins us to watch Contact (1997) a movie that asks big questions about life, the universe and everything. We answer our own, smaller-scale questions like: Is Lynette the east coast’s most prominent uncaptured black widow? Will IKEA ever sponsor the show? What happens when Allison does a little *too* much research? These and many more questions will be answered on Episode 16!

Hello Excellent Humans!

Natural Born Killers (1994)

“Classy Guy” Frank Cassella showed up to watch the spree killin’ psychologically thrillin’ “who’s really the villain?” Natural Born Killers (1994). It’s a complex movie with weird cinematography and broad social themes so it gave us a lot to talk about. Listen in!

Hello Excellent Humans! Snap into a podcast! Oh yeah! Allison and Hunter watched Ready to Rumble (2000) with Bryan Bierman, who: sings, starts a feud, and defines cinema’s “Septic Tank Era”! Listen as we exasperatedly sigh our way through a discussion of the flick and inadvertently come up with the idea for a much better, unrelated horror movie: Slayaway! Plus Bryan breaks down where wrestling was at that moment in time! Remember: Don’t be a Danzig! Like & subscribe!

Hello Excellent Humans!

Tabitha Rogers came back to watch Lifeforce (1985) a kinda sci-fi sexy space vampire movie that we thought was a lot cooler than that description sounds. We talk about this film’s pedigree, special effects, the appropriate noise to make between breasts, and Allison gets a bug up her butt about the neglected application of the metric system.

Hello Excellent Humans!

The Smokers (2000)

Frequent guest Tina Dillon returns, but Mark Wahlberg is nowhere to be found in this girl power gone wrong doozy of a flick chosen by Allison! Listen to how little they want to actually talk about teen drama The Smokers (2000). Bonus drinking game: do a shot anytime someone uses the phrase “hot garbage” and above all: beware The Marabou Phantom!

Hello Excellent Humans!

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Our first official zombie movie (second depending on how you rationalize All Dogs Go To Heaven). First-time guest Celso Garcia joins us to talk Shaun of the Dead (2004) but kinda steals the show as, due to an audio snafu, it's a little hard to hear Allison and Hunter. Nevertheless, we think you'll still enjoy this one as Celso's a pretty big movie nerd in his own right and he's got a nice voice (and don't worry, we still manage to pop in here and there).
