**Pain don’t hurt.** 🍺👊

Allen and RD head back to 1989 for **Road House**, the gloriously over-the-top action classic starring Patrick Swayze as Dalton — the legendary cooler hired to clean up the Double Deuce.

We’re talking ridiculous bar fights, monster trucks, Ben Gazzara’s completely insane villain, Sam Elliott being the coolest guy alive, and Patrick Swayze solving every problem with a little philosophy and a whole lot of ass kicking.

Does any of this movie make sense? **Not really.**

Do we care? **Absolutely not.**

Grab a beer, be nice until it’s time to not be nice, and find out if **Road House** still holds up!

DuckTales! Woo-oo! 🦆💰

PT Nerd is heading back to 1987 for one of the most iconic cartoons of the era—DuckTales!

Allen and RD revisit Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Launchpad McQuack, Webby and the rest of the crew. We talk about our memories of the show, favorite characters, the adventures, that legendary theme song, and whether DuckTales still holds up nearly 40 years later.

Plus, we give DuckTales the 30-second review and our final scores.

Did you grow up watching DuckTales? Who was your favorite character?

**NUMBER 5 IS ALIVE!** 🤖⚡

Allen and RD head back to 1986 for **Short Circuit**, the ’80s classic where a military robot gets struck by lightning, becomes self-aware, and suddenly wants input on EVERYTHING.

We’re talking Johnny 5, Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, the practical effects that still look great, some surprisingly dark moments, plenty of classic ’80s cheese, and a few things that definitely haven’t aged well.

Nearly 40 years later, does **Short Circuit** still hold up — and where does Johnny 5 rank among the greatest movie robots ever?

Grab a beer, provide some input, and find out what we thought!

What if the only one who knew your house was haunted… was your dog? 🐶👻

Allen and RD check out Good Boy, the 2025 horror movie told almost entirely from the perspective of Indy, a dog who moves into an isolated house with his sick owner Todd.

We’re talking about the unique dog POV, the creepy supernatural mystery, Indy’s performance, and whether this simple idea can carry an entire horror movie.

Plus, are we really supposed to spend 73 minutes worrying about whether something is going to happen to the dog?!

Allen and RD dive into **The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent**, the movie where Nicolas Cage plays the most ridiculous version of himself possible.

A struggling Nic Cage accepts $1 million to attend billionaire superfan Javi’s birthday party, and what starts as an awkward celebrity appearance somehow turns into a CIA operation.

We’re talking **Cage and Pedro Pascal’s incredible bromance**, the movie’s endless Nic Cage references, some completely insane moments, and whether this might be the ultimate movie for Nicolas Cage fans.

It’s weird. It’s hilarious. It’s surprisingly heartfelt.

Grab a beer and prepare for **MAXIMUM CAGE!**

The secret word is… **NOSTALGIA!** Everybody scream! 😂📺

Allen and Rapid Dave head back to Saturday morning for another episode of our **Saturday Morning Cartoons** series, and this time we’re revisiting **Pee-wee’s Playhouse**.

We’re talking Pee-wee Herman, Chairry, Jambi, Cowboy Curtis, the secret word, the absolutely insane Playhouse, and all the weird characters and moments that made this show unlike anything else on TV.

It was colorful, chaotic, hilarious, and sometimes downright bizarre — but almost 40 years later, **does Pee-wee’s Playhouse still hold up?**

Grab a bowl of cereal and join us as we head back to Saturday morning!

Allen and RD punch the clock and head back to 1980 for **9 to 5**, the workplace comedy starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Dabney Coleman.

We’re talking about the chemistry between the three leads, Franklin Hart being one of the most hateable bosses ever put on screen, the ridiculous revenge fantasies, Dolly Parton stealing scenes in her first feature film, and a theme song that’s basically impossible not to sing along with.

More than 45 years later, does **9 to 5** still work — and how much of this workplace comedy is somehow STILL relatable today?

Grab a beer, clock in, and find out what we thought!

Allen and RD dive into Mouseboat Massacre, another low-budget horror movie taking a childhood icon and turning it into a killer. 🐭🔪

We’re talking ridiculous kills, questionable decisions, low-budget insanity, and whether there’s actually a good horror movie hiding underneath the gimmick.

Is Mouseboat Massacre some dumb, bloody fun — or have these childhood-character horror movies officially gone too far?

Grab a beer and find out what we thought!

Nicolas Cage. Sean Connery. Alcatraz. Explosions. 💥 What more could you want from a ’90s action movie?

Allen and Rapid Dave revisit The Rock, Michael Bay’s 1996 action classic that sends Cage and Connery into Alcatraz to stop General Hummel and his rogue Marines from launching chemical weapons at San Francisco.

We’re talking about the insane action, the San Francisco car chase, Ed Harris as General Hummel, Cage and Connery’s incredible chemistry, and the theory that Connery might secretly be playing an older James Bond. 👀

Nearly 30 years later, is The Rock still one of the best action movies of the ’90s?

Grab a bowl of cereal because we’re heading back to Saturday morning! 🥣📺

Allen and Rapid Dave revisit Garfield and Friends, the classic cartoon featuring everyone’s favorite lasagna-loving, Monday-hating cat.

We’re talking Garfield, Odie, Jon, Lorenzo Music’s iconic voice, the different theme songs, the surprisingly clever humor, and of course, the other half of the show — U.S. Acres.

More than 30 years later, does Garfield and Friends still hold up?

And we settle the question that really matters:

Garfield or U.S. Acres — which was better?
