Torture Cinema

Dragons, cliches, and bad acting, oh my!  Our next Torture Cinema feature is finally here, and this time we’re looking at the 2006 film adaptation of Christopher Paolini’s Eragon, in all its terrible glory.  So sit back and enjoy the ride (we sure didn’t).

We hope you enjoy the episode!

Bad history, bad ideas, and just plain bad, oh my!  You all picked it, so we watched and reviewed it here (w/ Shaun Duke, Jen Zink, and Julia Rios).  And in case you didn’t know, this film is bad.  You’ll have to listen to discover why…Or, you could just watch it, if you’re brave enough.  Do you have the guts?

We hope you enjoy the episode!

The torture is strong with this one… In our 26th Torture Cinema feature, we take on the underwhelming terror of Jumper.  You picked it (finally!) and we’ve got a heck of a lot to say, too.  So sit back, get your popcorn, and enjoy the pain…Our pain.  Not yours.  Obviously…

We hope you enjoy the episode!

Destroying our childhoods one crappy Holiday Special at a time…  This week, Julia Rios, Paul, Jen, and Shaun take on the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special!  Included in the episode:  our 5-by-5s, a special skit involving our most popular impressions, and a lot of laughs.

We hope you enjoy the episode!

(FYI:  Some of the audio isn’t as strong as I would like.  Hopefully it doesn’t hurt the episode too much.)

Sean Connery in a super special mansuit!  Julia Rios and Keffy join us to talk about this 1974 science fiction wonder-child.  If the cover doesn’t tell you all you need to know about Zardoz, then you’ll just have to listen for our in-depth, slightly raunchy, slightly wrong analysis.

We hope you enjoy the episode!

Promise kept!  We said we’d watch Twilight:  Breaking Dawn (Part Two) when it came out in theaters, and now we’ve done so…all for your entertainment.     Skits, laughter, and pain.  It’s like cinematic masochism or something…

Torture Cinema meets Season of the Witch!  This month’s film was selected by Jennifer Barth, who was kind enough to donate to a little project I had a while ago.  In other words, you have her to blame for the travesty that is this humorous review of Nicolas Cage’s 50th cinematic disaster.  Our special guest is Julia Rios, who may just have to become our new Torture Cinema host if she keeps this up!

We hope you enjoy the episode!

Torture Cinema returns with special guest, Julia Rios.  This month, we watched and reviewed Midnight Chronicles, a glorious fantasy stinker foisted upon us by Alison Marlowe.  To make matters worse, we were tasked with doing three different impressions for the skit.  And that’s where a little trivia comes in:

The first person to guess which three famous actors we are poorly trying to impersonate (and I mean POORLY) will get a free science fiction and/or fantasy book from me.  All you need to do is send your answers to skiffyandfanty[at]gmail[dot]com or leave a comment below.  As long as I can send the book to you without having to spend $50, you can enter.

So enter!

We hope you enjoy the episode!  (Don’t read past this point if you want to be surprised by our lists in the show.)

Paul and I take on the infamous Howard the Duck in July’s Torture Cinema special 80s edition!  And boy is this one a mind drain.  Plus, there’s a slightly drunken skit in the middle, which might have ruined Shaun’s vocal chords.  You don’t want to miss it…
