In a very special episode of Slop Culture, Will and Sam pay attention and homage to one of the earliest and most ambitious attempts at fantasy cinema: Krull. The boys discuss what it means to be a creative flop that laid the groundwork for classics to come and also what if Stan Lee kidnapped your family? What then?

Will and Sam do more glazing than a donut factory over James Cameron's action movie touchstone in which Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis show off the fun, quirky and romantic side of brazen misappropriation of government resources and shadowy institutions accountable to no one.

This week, the boys journey to pay their respects at the shrine of New Zealand's patron saint, Karl Urban, in his gritty dystopian action flick, Dredd. Included inside: slasher bars, crucial updates on how Sam's curry turned out, and so much glazing a donutsmith envies.

In honor of our 22nd episode, Slop Culture is proud to present its thorough critical analysis of one of the most profound entries into the most sacred wings of cinema's hallowed halls: 2 Fast 2 Furious. Enclosed within: how to run a zoo as a mafia front, drift racing in the Hague and whether you can or cannot legally make a car your wife.

And if you can...should you?

This week, Will and Sam take a look at Sylvester Stallone's Expendables 2, a thoughtful and nuanced study of the relationship between masculinity, intimacy and conflict. Also, Jason Statham dresses up like a priest and stabs a dude and says "I now pronounce you man and KNIFE" and it's totally sick, you've got to watch it, bro.

Today, Will and Sam take a look at one of Heath Ledger's last performances as a fairy tale-obsessed conman who gets asked to help Matt Damon beat up a horse that spits spiders in the action-fantasy-buddy-comedy-horror-action-comedy-thriller-fantasy-horror-action-action-buddy-buddy-comedy-fantasy movie, the Brothers Grimm.

In the name of international relations, the boys have a look at District B13, the only movie that dares to ask what if the Fast and the Furious franchise was about parkour instead of cars and was about saving the Eiffel Tower from nukes and also Vin Diesel is French and so is everyone else. 

Join the boys as they journey back in time to the primitive 1990's, where computers were magical and the only thing cooler than ninjas were the people who knew how to use them (the computers, not the ninjas). The People of Japan v. Macaulay Culkin, the masculine urge to be socially awkward, jetski escort services and more on today's episode about Hackers.

Will and Sam go digging for 80's gold in this action-heavy, logic-light that dares to dream of a world where ninjutsu-practicing individuals can lead long, full lives with meaningful contributions to international government and artistic heritage. Come for the shuriken, stay for the ninja Seinfeld pitch.

The boys celebrate the legendary career of Denzel Washington by watching a film in which he enjoys a soul-healing vacation to scenic Naples, Italy and connects deeply with the local culture in between scenes of overwhelmingly horrifying psychopathic violence. Plus--pitching Conan O'Brien as an action comedy star, harmful depictions of supernatural assassins and what's the proper amount of effort to put into saving someone from extraterrestrials.
