Holy double shows! Yes, your eyes are correct: two shows in one day!

This past week Leland and Spooky attended a press screening of 21 Jump Street. Yes, we know what you're thinking, and yes we really went to see it. You know what? It was damn funny. So funny and good, in fact, we decided to do a special podcast just about how awesome it was.

So listen and enjoy. Hope it sparks you to get out of your house and go see it!

So set phasers to awesome!

This week the guys go where no man has gone before with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, wildly considered one of the worst the Star Trek movies the franchise has to offer. Or it just a misunderstood film with a lost direction?  You be the judge.  So set a course in ridiculous and join us, will you?

Original broadcast date March 2, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/03/movie-issues-cutthroat-island/

So this week the guys decided to take a trip on the high seas and look for buried treasure on Cutthroat Island.

Yeah, what a seasick voyage it was, too.

Join us as we sail towards what is considered one of the biggest flops in Hollywood history. We look to answer the questions: why does Geena Davis look like a dude? Is Matthew Modine the poor man's Cary Elwes? And does this movie have one of he worst lines in cinema history?

Come, sit with us and listen as we find out!

Original broadcast date February 24, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/02/movie-issues-transformers-dark-of-the-moon/

This week Leland is on vacation, and he took the podcasting world with him.

Sit in with Leland and special guest hosts Ben and Mel as they journey though Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance before attempting the daunting task of re-watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Then they try to understand: where do the Transformers movies go so wrong, and why is Michael Bay still allowed to make movies?

Original broadcast date February 17, 2012. Original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/02/movie-issues-whats-your-number/

Well Valentine's Day is over and gone for another year, but Leland and Spooky are still sending out the love vibes.

This week we wrap up our journey though romantic-comedy-land with 2011 Rom-Com What's Your Number?, a simple story of two people trying to decide if having too many sex partners is a problem too great for any relationship to handle. I guess we'll find out!

Come join us as we watch Captain American fall in love with the House Bunny (which I think might have been a better title in hindsight).

Hope everyone had a nice VD-Day!!

Well as Valentine’s Day approaches Leland and Spooky wanted to show their support for “Single Awareness Day” by doing a romantic comedy. But we do it up Movie Issues style, by taking you way back to 1984 to watch Dolly Parton teach Sylvester Stallone how to become a country western singer in the movie Rhinestone.

Yup. You read that all correct. A country western singer. Rambo sings, people!

So join us as we head down south on a rhinestone covered wagon and horse. Yee-haw!

Original broadcast date February 3, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/02/movie-issues-howard-the-duck/

Well it was bound to happen sooner than later. This week the boys decided to go down memory lane and revisit Howard the Duck, the infamous 1986 film that is widely considered one of the worst movies in Hollywood history. Join us, as we discuss why it’s not that bad: lots of Lea Thompson love and nude ducks that make us feel very uncomfortable. Yup, it’s just another day here at the Movie Issues studios.

Original broadcast date January 27, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/01/movie-issues-the-wiz/

Come on everybody, ease on down the road this week with Leland and Spooky as they take a trip to the land of OZ in search of “The Wiz.” This is one crazy movie from 1978 that should be seen by every kind of film lover.

Join us in our quest to understand this wild ride of a flick.

Original broadcast date January 20, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/01/movie-issues-titan-a-e/

It’s 3043 AD, Earth has been destroyed and our only hope of saving humanity relays on a kid with a bad attitude, a girl with a ship that's falling apart, a cranky kangaroo lady and a whole bunch of aliens that look like animal hybrids.

Join Leland and Spooky as they relive the animated post-apocalyptic science fiction film from 2000, Titan A.E., the film that single-handedly shut down an entire animation studio because it didn’t make any money.

Happy Friday everyone!

Original broadcast date January 13, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/01/movie-issues-jason-x/

It’s Friday the 13th, and here at Movie Issues it’s a good day. In honor of the 13th we’re reviewing Jason X.

Yeah, we know it’s not one of the “good” ones. But would you expect anything else from Leland and Spooky at this point?

So join us as evil gets an upgrade. Happy Friday the 13th!
