Plain Zero

This week finds us in that weird in between time of after Thanksgiving but before December, so we decided to watch a movie that we weren't really sure if it was a Christmas movie: Toys. That's right, we're actually asking if that movie that stars Robin Williams and LL Cool J holds up.

The week of Thanksgiving is upon, so it's time to be thankful for fedoras and whips. It's probably also time to be thankful that no one really eats the dishes that are being eaten during the big dinner seen in this week's movie: Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom!

Looking for a good way to bridge Halloween to Thanksgiving? Well, we got the episode for you, because this week, we watched Addams Family Values. It's a movie that takes place during the summer, but features a Thanksgiving play and a family that's creepy and cooky! So, listen up, boppers, because we're diving right into this sequel to see if it holds up!

This week we find ourselves tackling a movie picked by the latest winner (@SirEviscerate) of the Obscure For a Penny Zero twitter tournament: Bubba Ho-Tep. The tail of a man that might be Elvis living in a nursing home and being forced to do battle with an ancient mummy. So, join us as we ask whether this cult classic holds up!

The Halloween is close at hand, which means our spook-tacular month is coming to a close. And we decided to end it all with a bang, because this week, we watched a movie featuring what is considered the definitive werewolf transformations. The Dr. Pepper guy and Johnny Dangerously's brother get well acquainted with some of England's more exotic wild life in An American Werewolf In London!

Halloween horror month continues here at Plain Zero as we are discussing James Gunn's feature film directorial debut: Slither! Marvel as we talk about the combined powers of Gunn, Gregg Henry, Michael Rooker, and Nathan Fillion. So be sure to keep plenty of Mr. Pibb stocked up and keep all slugs out of your mouth, 'cause this one's gonna be a doozy, boppers!

This week, we're running it back and spending more time Texas, because this week we're doubling down and watching the divisive sequel: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The tones have changed as we now are given a dark comedy gorefest. Will this movie hold up? Could have ever held up? There's only one way to find out!

This week, our month of spooky fun continues as we get all up in the guts of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. We dive right into the classic that is sure to make you feel hot, sweaty, and dirty and all by getting into your head. Also, we're joined by Travis' brother, Sean.

It's October once again, which means another trip into the macabre. This week, we kick things off with a tale of vengeance and the price that comes with it: Pumpkinhead. Basically, the moral is to never be involved in or know someone involved in the accidental death of Lance Henriksen's son.

This episode asks a very difficult question. How can you ask if what is considered one of the worst movies ever made holds up? That was just the mission we set out on this week, when we were tasked with watching The Room. Our friend Lisa was tearing us apart when she asked us to watch this. So get on your best tuxedos to throw around the football, boppers, because we got a doozy of an episode in store for you!
