Slop Culture

The year is 1995. Cinemas thrive. The success of Jurassic Park has awakened in America a panicked and perverse need for stories about playing God and then being horribly consumed by primal life forms beyond our control. And like a jazz drummer with a kilo of Horse, Michael Crichton is there to supply a terrified population with its fix in the form of a movie where Tim Curry gets eaten by gorillas. Join Will and Sam for a look into one of ape-based cinema's proudest achievements.

Today on Slop Culture, Will and Sam take a journey back to the primitive days of 2006 to explore a vampire action sci-fi romp that flew so far under the radar it had to be located with one of those rats they train to discover unexploded ordinances. Join us for a conversation on sticky dictators, Milla Jovovich and exactly how bad a movie can be before it becomes blasphemous.

The boys take a swig of Tsingtao and power through their second John Carpenter-directed, Kurt Russell-starring cult classic movie. Except instead of being about colorful goons in the decaying ruins of a dystopian New York, it's a movie about colorful wizards in the decaying ruins of 1980's San Francisco. Today's topics include a shoutout to ninjas, a frank discussion of wizard-based crime and the masculine fantasy of having your bro do kung fu in front of your wife.

Will and Sam put on their leisure suits for their look at Smokin' Aces, the only movie that can give you the same kind of rush as seeing a pyramid of carefully-arranged wine glasses come crashing down right before the last one goes on. Join the boys for an off-beat and eccentric dark action comedy (it's dark because someone says a swear).

This week, the boys treat themselves to an American classic which asks the question that every young American has ever asked themselves: "what if school got canceled because World War III broke out and Patrick Swayze was also there?" Also featured: Sam saw the Odyssey, Satanic nachos and do you think a demon in hell would call you fat or would that be too much?

It is Slop Culture's utmost pleasure to introduce an iconic film about hairy skinny dudes rowing boats and slapping skeletons--Jason & The Argonauts. Join Will and Sam in a discussion on topics such as Ray Harryhausen's vision, cinema's earliest special effects, how much it must rule to be an old dude just letting it all hang out on a boat with your bros, and more.

In a very special episode of Slop Culture, the podcast talks about its very first film featuring America's favorite morally-dubious, spiritually-lugubrious, gun-toting, chain-smoking, grizzled gizzard son of an onion, Clint Eastwood, in The Gauntlet, a film that is brave enough to tell you that you can solve at least some of your problems with a bus.

The boys revisit the joys of Hong Kong cinema with the spectacularly gory, spectacularly ridiculous, spectacularly beefy opus that is Riki-Oh, the story of one man's passionate desire to bring about prison reforms by punching through walls and making peoples' skulls explode. Put your face in this bad English dubbing and breathe deep, brother.

Today on Slop Culture, Will and Sam journey to the moment where the Terminator franchise stopped and the Terminator Cinematic Universe began. Join us for a thoughtful discussion on what makes a character, what makes a plot, what makes a human--also, like, six or seven jokes about Florida. Maybe eight.

This week, the boys investigate a piece of Argentinian Cinematic History in the form of the extremely violent, extremely low-budget, extremely body-hairless legendary film, Deathstalker. Join us for a discussion of pop culture history, Will's beef with whales and whether or not Pedro Pascal is to blame for Vesuvius erupting.
