Kevin makes fun of an 11 year old doing the family taxes, the Naomi Watts character being addicted to Gears of War, doctors hitting on grieving mothers too soon, and movie not being called “The Podcast of Henry”. He also praises Jacob Tremblay’s hipster outfits throughout the movie. Then about halfway through… Kevin becomes terrified of the direction The Book of Henry, a kids movie, goes in. Listen along to find out the point where Kevin would recommend Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to his future children over the horror that is The Book of Henry.

Johnny and Kevin are a little tipsy and up late on a Friday night to watch the disastrous Gerard Butler disaster movie Geostorm! The movie starts with stock footage and a voiceover so you know it’s gonna be bad! The two laugh at characters yelling “shut up” so they can explain the plot, Jim Sturgess trying to convince his girlfriend to have a three-way, Ed Harris falling backwards, astronauts in their space suits also being hackers, and spaceships flying into heaven. So join Johnny and Kevin in watching the perfect late night crappy movie you fall asleep to!

Johnny and Kevin have returned to record a premium episode that may or may not be behind the paywall in the future (1:10). Just kidding!

Johnny and Kevin are back struggling to watch the Nickelodeon stinker Monster Trucks. What are these, some kind of monster trucks? The two laugh at not being sure if the main character is old enough to drive, the non-cgi look of the tentacle monster, Holt McCallany playing Holt McCallany, hive mind creatures, and the movie copying off of The Shape of Water. They also keep a running timer to see if Danny Glover is in the movie for over five minutes. This movie featured a deep bench of actors that cashed a lot of paychecks!

Johnny and Kevin are up late recapping the baffling plot, characters, and production of 1999’s The Haunting (7:20).

Johnny and Kevin try to scare themselves with a watch of the 1999 horror stinker The Haunting. How could a failing sleep study with only three people afford to rent this house?!? The two laugh at “beautiful” being the only adjective used in the movie, Owen Wilson’s character pointing out everything going on, little kid spirits showing up in the bedsheets, Liam Neeson barely changing his facial expressions, and nobody being able to save the characters when the house is locked, in the night, in the dark, when it’s cold. Look at me, I’m not confused! So join Johnny and Kevin in watching The Haunting, a movie that is the epitome of bad writing.
