Late Nights at Blockbuster

Snatch

Hop in your caravan, grab yourself some sausages and come along for this Guy Ritchie classic as it celebrates it’s 25th anniversary. Just be careful if you have to back up, make sure it’s not a funny angle.

The regular season is in the books and so we are here to brag about our good picks and confess our mistakes. We each take some victory laps, and we each certainly bow our heads in shame a few times. But we look back at our predictions for team records as well as awards and give our final tiers rankings of the year.

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects

A New Year brings an opportunity for us to draft another anniversary year of movies. We are staying consistent with our love of our late high school and early college years by selecting the year 2000 for our draft. This was Troy's first year working at Blockbuster and Byers saw way too many movies this year as well. We draft 15 movies each and run through our nominees for worst movie of the year as well.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

This week we’re going to take you someplace warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. We’re talking about a little Late Nights at Blockbuster celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dumb and Dumber. We spend way too much time trading quotes in our Drax award section, but that was to be expected with a classic like this one. Byers mentions Down Periscope for about the 10th time but don’t fact check us on that.

NFL Week 13 Tiers Update

We're back with another update to our NFL Tiers. This marks roughly the 3/4 mark of the season, and with every team in action this past weekend it was time to readjust our rankings. We fully expect at least a couple of teams to completely reverse course after this episode and make us look like complete fools, but even then we would still look better than the Jets.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Grab your Goblin-cleaver, sound the horn, and jump on your armored battle pig as we come to the finish line of the Hobbit Trilogy with The Battle of the Five Armies! We keep the disdain for the love triangle lighter in this episode as there is a lot less to complain about. We get into a conversation about watch order for newcomers to Middle Earth movies and how that might change with future generations similar to Star Wars. Byers makes Troy giggle with his outside the box choice for our over actor award.

Goofs: Troy misquoted Ron Swanson, it was “I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.”

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Terminator 2

Come with us if you want to live. Because we are wrapping up Novikov November and our time travel movies with Terminator 2. Which means we feel like we’re the ones traveling back in time to talk about this James Cameron classic from 1991.
