This time, we cover Liongate's attempt to bring Marvel's walking pile of sod, the Man-Thing, to the big screen. It eventually premiered as a Sci-Fi Original Movie (before the SyFy change) and there are a whole load of reasons for that, which we cover in this eppy. Joining us is Jake from the unfortunately defunct podcast "Jake and Tom Conquer the World." Jake rejoins his cohost and bff, Tom, to help us decide what went wrong with this movie and whether or not it actually is someone's favorite.

Never mind the Bollocks, it’s Someone’s Favorite Movie with another cringe punny way to introduce the show notes for episode 66 of this esteemed program.

In this episode, it’s the doomed romance of Sid Vicious (from the Sex Pistols) and Nancy Spungen in Alex Cox's sensationalized biopic.

This is the second Alex Cox film that we have covered. The first was the equally punk-centric movie, Repo Man in episode 58 of this podcast. Check it out!
