So if you checked out our episode on The Pest and thought "I need more Joh Leguizamo goodness" Fear not because our commentary is HERE!

Taking a break from the polls this week to look at a movie we as society let happen. The Pest came out in 1997, was panned by critics, bombed at the box office, and it's very easy to see why.

We needed a fast substitute for Jurassic Park (which will be coming next week), and we couldn't think of a better replacement than the first installment in a franchise known for being just that, The Fast and the Furious. The original came out in 2001, was a massive hit at the box office, spawned several sequels, a spin-off, tons of merch, and one god awful theme park ride. So we go to look at this franchises humble beginnings, as well as the latest trailers like Pig, the Batman Oral Sex controversy (which yes still sounds strange as I'm typing), and more right here on Notorious by Chance.

This week we get in the time machine and go back to 1996, when Don't Speak ruled the charts and Red Bull was introduced to the masses, to look at Wes Craven's Scream.
