Join us as we discuss our expectations for the movie going in, Malcolm McDowell, and discuss what constitutes 'gratuitous'.

We celebrate a podcast milestone this week as we talk about our 300th movie. And we pulled out all the stops to talk about what many consider the worst movie of all-time. We finally got around to talking about the Tommy Wiseau masterpiece, The Room. 

Join us as we discuss what Lisa doesn't want to talk about, Claudette's cancer diagnosis, and the tour de force performance from Chris R.

Happy Halloween! The podcast is at full strength this week and releasing a day early in order to ring in All Hallow's Eve with you. This week, we attempted to do a special episode by picking a movie that takes place on Halloween, but that movie wound up being the 2009 Night of the Demons remake, so it's anything but special. 

Join us as we discuss the blink-and-you-missed-it career of Monica Keena, Shannon Elizabeth as a hot goth girl, and the very tired face of Edward Furlong.

It's officially October and you know what that means: it's time for a full month of horror movie episodes. We continue horror month with our third Frank Henenlotter movie. It's 1988's Brain Damage on this week's They Called This a Movie.

It's officially October and you know what that means: it's time for a full month of horror movie episodes. We kick off this month with an oddball movie from 1979 starring The Rifleman himself, Chuck Connors. It's Tourist Trap on this week's They Called This a Movie. 

Join us as we discuss the similarities to other movies, imagine what Chuck Connors was thinking while on set, and the unnecessary telekinesis.

This week, we're hanging out with a blind Rutger Hauer and one of the kids from Step By Step, as we watch Blind Fury, the 1989 American remake of the 16th Zatoichi sequel. 

Join us as we discuss Rutger Hauer's attempts to portray being blind, the chemistry between him and Brandon Call, and one of the main villains being typecast as a dirtbag. We also create a Tier List for Fictional Swordsmen.
