On this episode we welcome back our friend Cody Buhler to the show to talk about "The Last Witch Hunter". Sitting on Rotten Tomatoes at a 17% Critical Rating and a 43% Audience Score, we unpack the many reasons why this particular Vin Diesel vehicle failed to get its franchise due. There's a whole ton going on in this movie for being under 2 hours run-time. But as wacky as the movie can be, there's actually a lot of elements worth a second look. Could Kaulder see a sequel in the future? We hope so. Come find out why!

Also, Dan mispronounces the word "Dolan" repeatedly!

You can check out more of Cody on his podcast called, "alsoalso" available through Podbean!

Happy Halloween! Are you ready to dance till you just can't dance? Dan and Aaron head back to 1992 for a nostalgia-fueled journey into campy blood-sucking comedy! Before Sarah Michelle Gellar graced us with her run as Buffy in 1997, there was another. Enter Kristy Swanson: vampire hunter and valley girl extraordinaire. Joss Whedon's first attempt at getting Buffy off the ground is an interesting tale full of many firsts, a bizarre cast, and a lot of strange decisions. Whether you're already fan of this movie, or you didn't know it existed, ring in your Halloween right with some ghoulish fun! Happy Halloween, everyone!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

There's been a bit of an episode shake-up due to an awesome series of events, as explained in this episode! Therefore ThanksKilling has been swapped to American Thanksgiving! So the time has finally come to discuss Adam Sandler films - Jack and Jill in particular! Come along as Aaron and Dan discuss Adam Sandler's impressive career trajectory, and the impact he's had on Hollywood. And as far as Jack and Jill goes, why does this movie have so much product placement? Why are there so many cameos? How much bodily humor is too much? Does it really deserve a 3% Critical Rating on Rotten Tomatoes? So much to discuss! Come kick off the long weekend with us!

On this special episode, Dan and Aaron subvert the genre of their own podcast to talk about a show that famously subverts a genre! It's Amazon Studios' The Boys! So it's not a movie, and it's not terrible, so why are they talking about it? It's a jam-packed episode about the state of streaming services, identity, superhero fatigue, parody, and adaptation. They pick up where they left off on their characterization conversation in "In Defense of The Last Airbender" and dive deep into why this series speaks volumes about the current state of Hollywood. 

Due to the nature of "The Boys" this episode has been rated Explicit in order to discuss some of its darker elements.

Also a correction from this episode: This series does indeed have a Rotten Tomatoes Score: 83% Critical, and 94% Audience.
