TEAM INSOMNIAC'S TRIPTYCH

Set your phasers to fun! The boys go on a trip back to the Utopian 1980s to enjoy the comforting scifi adventures of the crew of the Starship Enterprise.

Movies Discussed:

Our newest short film BLOTTO:

The boys go to the future by way of the past, starting in the glam and the guts of the 80s, to the blockbuster Renaissance of the 90s, all the way to whatever the fuck was happening in the early 2000s. It's Briggs' Birthday, meaning we are watching Terminator movies.

MOVIES DISCUSSED

The boys dive into the sewers with guest star Joshua Floyd as they dig through the first 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's time for way too much pizza, varying levels of violence, and characters that do seem to be more brain damaged with each passing entry.

Movies Discussed:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)

The boys take it back to the 90s and the early 2000s to explore the non South Park filmography of Tray Parker and Matt Stone. Even if their early works lack polish, they came out of the gate as creative and irreverent voices.

Cannibal! The Musical (1993)

For our first episode of the new year, the boys pay tribute to the dearly departed Paul Reubens by enjoying his three cinematic outings as his alter ego Pee-Wee Herman, aka Real Life Spongebob. Also, spoiler alerts for SALTBURN (2023).

Movies Discussed:

PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE (1985)

BIG TOP PEE-WEE (1988)

PEE-WEE'S BIG HOLIDAY (2016)

Another great year on the books, at least as far as the movies were concerned.

It's a busy time for Team Insomniac, and we love to celebrate the holidays with a comfort trilogy. And what's more comfortable than a traumatized orphan dressed as a bat beating up people? Isn't that what the season is all about. Also, whatever happened to this Chris Nolan guy?
