Are you ready for another Lost VHS Classic, kids? Well you’re in luck, because today we’re gonna have a go at the 1982 Steve Martin/Carl Reiner comedy, The Man With Two Brains! What is The Man With Two Brains, you ask? Well, we’ve seen it and we still aren’t entirely sure. On the surface it is a send-up of 50’s B-movie horror/suspense tropes about a mad scientist, a gold-digging femme fatale, and a brain-swap machine. If you have no idea what any of that means, it’s cool. Just know this is another wacky romp from the team that brought you The Jerk! It’s Kathleen Turner’s follow up to her breakout role in Body Heat! It’s Merv Griffin as… Merv Griffin! And it’s 100% niche cinema, which is why you should listen! Into the mud, scum queen!

This week we watch your Dad’s favorite movie. Back before the Internet let us talk to our favorite introverts, conspiracy theorists and secessionists, men watched movies about men doing manly things with other men in a man’s world… but Fight Club was a splash of cold water that said, “Wake up - you’re living a lie.” This week we dig into why this film still works, why it was ahead of its time in some of the worst ways, and some of the odder theories behind what this film really means.

From the Better Late Than Never File comes our look back at Season 3 of the greatest show on television, The Boys! It may have taken 6 months for all of us to finally watch it, but so what? We've got jobs and stuff, ya losers! What matters is we've seen it, we loved it, and now we'll yammer on about Butcher, Homelander, Soldier Boy, and the rest of the gang in all their violent, bloody, psychologically damaged glory! It's a spot-on satire of our modern age, and we're damn well here for it.

Do you remember Video Stores? We sure do - because we’re old as F@%$. They used to be everywhere, a ubiquitous strip mall fixture purveying all manner of niche movie titles in every genre, rented in a format known as a “videocassette” tape that you could take home and play in your VCR machine. This was back in the 80s and 90s when physical media was how we consumed our entertainment, when giant homogeneous corporations finally squeezed out the Mom ‘N Pop stores and killed all the joy in life with nothing but New Releases. But their hubris would be their undoing, as a Jetson-like future of streaming technology and à la carte on-demand choice finally became reality and killed the scrappy video store for good. Once a bustling weekend hub of every neighborhood, the video store is now a faded legend of the distant past. And we salute them all.

Excelsior, bitches! Recently, Eric tried to binge-watch ALL of Marvel Phase 4 - a 2-year chunk of movies and TV shows. Then, to make it seem like there was a reason for this insanity, he pitched it as a show. We go through all 50 hours & 21 minutes of it - in an episode that, as we recorded it, felt only slightly longer.

Daniel Craig’s now-iconic movie detective Benoit Blanc is back in the latest mystery bonbon from writer-director Rian Johnson, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. This one, as you may have deduced from the title, is the sequel to 2019’s equally fun deconstruction of classic whodunits, Knives Out. Again stacked with an impeccable cast, Johnson’s latest is another razor-sharp, eat-the-rich satire cocooned inside an affectionate homage to the likes of Agatha Christie. Or the board game Clue. Or perhaps The Beatles? There’s a LOT going on here, and we get to it in our very SPOILERIFIC review. As Benoit Blanc says so concisely in the movie, It’s just dumb!

What could possibly make the perennial Charles Dickens holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol,” even better? Why, add The Muppets, of course! And it’s right there in the friggin’ title! We end 2022 with a Bah Humbug look at “The Muppet Christmas Carol” turning 30 - a true banger starring Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge, along with your favorite Muppets to bring some festive cheer. We call it “The most accessible version of A Christmas Carol ever made!” Damning praise indeed! Plus, we’ve got a bunch of other stuff we’ve been watching to close out the year in true MagHuge style. Ho ho ho.

The 1983 classic “A Christmas Story” was the perfect encapsulation of what Christmas should be all about. That’s why it’s a classic. Is this week’s show about that? Well, that would have been nice and easy. But there’s just one thing you see, Mag Huge never ever do nothing nice and easy - we always do it nice and rough. So instead, we cover the two competing sequels to a movie that was so charming, it shouldn’t have a sequel at all...much less two. But if you think about it, two movies made to cash in on a nostalgia classic is exactly what Christmas is all about, isn’t it? Exploitation! We also cover the things we’ve been watching in this, our penultimate show for the year 2022. Ho ho ho!
