Tales from the Bargain Bin

Claire and Ryan flex their egos by giving a final review on the year just gone. A shameless cash grab if there ever was one.

What were the best of the year reviewed by Tales From The Bargain Bin?

What about the worst?

What about the rest of the cinematic world?

Find out! On Tales From The Bargain Bin...

Special thanks to everyone who has been involved this year: Dave the fact checker, LifeJacket the band, Adrian the Housemate and everyone who helped share, listened and gave their completely unwanted opinion on the show.  Happy New Year Ya Filthy Animals!

In this final classic format episode of the year, Claire and Ryan bring in YuleTide by watching 1990s Christopher Columbus classic festive Child Mistreatment adventure 'Home Alone' and open up the last present under the tree and discovered naught but a box of used Cat Litter, with 2002s 'Home Alone 4: Taking back the House'

Is this Claire and Ryan's lump of Coal?  What did they do to deserve this naughty list punishment?

Is cinematographer Peter Benison the ultimate Christmas film Guru?

Where does this film even sit in the Home Alone Cinematic Universe?

And is Marv secretly the Queen of Sheba?

All this, and more, can be answered, on Tales from the Bargain Bin.

Claire and Ryan would also love to wish everyone who listens to, shares and talks about Tales from the Bargain Bin, a very happy Christmas! (everyone else can go fuck themselves) A blast has been had this year!

This week John and Hans usher in the Christmas season by ascending to the penthouse suite with 1988's definitely-a-Christmas-film Die Hard and then plummet out the window, screaming and flailing to the depths of rickety Anna Nichole-Smith vehicle 1996's actually-not-a-Christmas-film-and-barely-even-a-film-at-all Skyscraper.

Is this film as morally bankrupt as it is financially bankrupt?

Where do these goons shop for their duds and are they having a Christmas sale?

And what the holy living shit is going on with that guy's trousers?!

This week Tales From The Bargain Bin gets sexy, steamy, and keeps it in the family as we watch 1999's edgy teen-asshole-a-thon Cruel Intentions and its straight to DVD tasteless teen-creep-a-thon sprequel Cruel Intentions 2.

Are we to believe Sebastian and Kathryn are the only people sexually active in this school?

Is this an insight into Roger Kumble's deepest, darkest desires?

And what's the definition of beastiality again? (asking for a friend)

TALES FROM THE BARGAIN BIN PRESENTS TFTBB EPISODE 17: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE NON-SPECIFIC ASIAN REGION!

In this glorious episode our heroes have delved deep into the experimental and have opted to take a look at the animated world of complete rip offs, staring out with 2008s Dreamworks animal exploitation film 'Kung-Fu Panda' and its slightly funny, mostly stupid 2011 counterpart 'Chop Kick Panda'.

How many dead wife jokes are too many?

Are Master Oogway and Shifu thinly veiled Caricatures of L.Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige?

and did Claire and Ryan just condone capital punishment without trial?

In the lead up to Halloween Ryan and Claire claw their way out of their graves to watch 1994's The Crow and the franchise's 4th installment 2004's The Crow 4: Wicked Prayer, starring Edward Furlong.

TALES FROM THE BARGAIN BIN GOES A HAUNTIN' IN THIS FIRST INSTALLMENT OF OUR HALOWEEN SPECIALS THROUGHOUT OCTOBER.

This week Claire and Ryan crack open the Sarcophagus, dust off the Necronomicon and reel in abject horror as we watched (and got bored by) 06/06/06 release and remake of horror classic 'THE OMEN' starring Levi Schreiber and then it's twisted secret twin born on the same day and hurried away by the nurses to the basement, '666: THE CHILD' starring BooBoo Stewart (again!)

Why would you name the Anti Christ Donald?

Who is hell is in charge of the adoption process here and why is it Irish Priests? 

and for christ sake somebody get Ainsley Harriet on the line, we've got a devil child for him.

Listen in as we tackle these goulish questions and more, on TALES FROM THE CURMUDGEONLY CRYPT!

Ryan and Claire present their very own UNEQUAL SEQUEL! Concluding our action packed double feature, Ryan and Claire watch the most expensive film ever made by 1988, Rambo 3, and not the most expensive film ever made by 1988, Strike Commando 2.

Has Claire ever been so wrong?

Has Ryan's mastery of impressions ever been so disturbing?

And has there ever been a villain so terrifying as Kim Jong Saville?

In the first part of a double bill, Ryan and Claire take on the might of both the Russian and Vietnamese armies in revenge-rampage-ridden First Blood Part 2 and its pick'n'choose Italian knock off Strike Commando, to see which of the films is more racist.

Is Claire's Sly Stallone impression her greatest feat to date?

What does a ruptured duck even look like?

And will race relations ever recover?
