  • Ep. 159 - The Road To El Dorado
    The boys really take a journey with this one, all the down south, to the city of gold. Join us as we go all the way back to 2000 to take a look at "The Road to El Dorado" featuring Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh, Rosie Perez, and the musical styling of Sir Elton John.

  • Ep. 158 - Master Of Disguise
    Summer break is over, losers.
    We finally got to it, and we're taking a look at 2002's "The Master of Disguise" (yes, we're breaking our 'no post-9/11 movies rule) Starring Dana Carvey, Jennifer Esposito, and Data from Star Trek. In this movie, Pistachio Disguisey (Carvey) learns he has the ability to disguise as anyone and anything and needs to use these new powers to save his father. But, let's be real, this is just Dana Carvey doing a bunch of impressions, loosely tired together with a tired plot. Yes, there's racism.

  • Ep. 157 - Krippendorf's Tribe
    This week, the boys get CANCELLED.
    I am so, so sorry.
    Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Jenna Elfman, Lily Tomlin, and Natasha Lyonne. I really, really don't want to tell you what the plot is. Let's keep this one on the down low.
    But I will say this episode includes a history Throwback Theater First!

  • Ep. 156 - A Simple Wish
    The boys take a look at 1998's "A Simple Wish" starring Martin Short, Kathleen Turner, and Mara Wilson.
    This movie is so bland that I felt the only way to really represent it was to make the blandest description.

  • Ep. 155 - Baby Geniuses
    I'm tired and lazy so here's the first few paragraphs of the movie from Wikipedia.
    Baby Geniuses is a 1999 American family comedy film directed by Bob Clark and written by Clark and Greg Michael, from a story by Clark, Steven Paul, Francisca Matos, and Robert Grasmere. It stars Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Cattrall, Peter MacNicol, and Ruby Dee.
    The film has the distinction of being the first full-length feature to use computer-generated imagery for the synthesis of human visual speech. 2D warping techniques were used to digitally animate the mouth viseme shapes of the babies which were originally shot with their mouths closed. The viseme shapes were sampled from syllables uttered by the babies on the set.
    Baby Geniuses was almost universally panned by critics, who lambasted its acting, humor, special effects, writing, and directing, but it grossed $36.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $12 million. In 2004, it was followed by a sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, which was a box office bomb, and received even worse critical reviews, receiving a nomination for Worst Picture at the 25th Golden Raspberry Awards.

  • Ep. 154 - Men In White
    Here come the Men in White! Join us for this forgotten National Lampoon made for TV movie, a supposed parody of "Men in Black" but really more a parody of Independence Day and Dr. Strangelove? Is it so bad it's good or just simply bad? I guess it depends which one of us you ask.

  • Ep. 152 - Inspector Gadget
    We're back, and this one is not a dinosaur's tale.
    This week we take a look at a local, Pittsburgh film, "Inspector Gadget" starring Matthew Broderick, Rupert Everett, Andy Dick, and Michelle Trachtenberg. In this film, we get to see all the beautiful sights of Pittsburgh as our hero hoses down his love interest with 5 gallons of toothpaste from his sleeve. That's probably not the official description that you'd read on the back cover, but it should be.
