Truly Rotten Potatoes

Mike Myers writes and stars in the 2008 movie that derailed his career as a force of character comedy. Hot off the heels of Austin Powers - but without his director Jay Roach who wanted to move more into political films - this would become the only director credit for Marco Schnabel who now works on NCIS.

Also starring Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Verne Troyer.

P.S Mitch has been fired.

In this episode, Canberra's smartest film reviewers tackle 2004's Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 directed by Bob Clark and the sequel to 1999's Baby Genuises.

Here's the plot: A group of smart-talking toddlers find themselves at the center of a media mogul's experiment to crack the code to baby talk. The toddlers must race against time for the sake of babies everywhere. 

This movie has Jon Voight and Scott Baio, so it's probably now the most popular film among US right wingers.

We lost this episode then found it again in way worse quality. With guest Putri McMurray, we talked about 2002's live action Italian version of Pinocchio, directed by and starring Roberto Benigni. Sorry for how bad the audio is, feel free to skip this one.

The boys go off the official list to hold their first ever live show, at the 5th anniversary screening of indie oz-zom-com "Me and My Mates vs the Zombie Apocalypse" in Canberra. With special guest Dan Sanguineti, producer of the movie.

This film stars Alex Williamson, Jim Jefferies, Greg Fleet, Adele Vuko and Andy Trieu and may or may not have been written/directed by Declan from the podcast. It's about three telecom tradesman hiding out in a telephone exchange during the onset of the zombie apocalypse.

This episode is extra long and our last one for 2020. We get to the live stuff about 45 minutes in. The rest of it is us talking about ghosts, Anthony Callea and zombies.

Aussies, watch Mates vs Zombies on Vimeo or on DVD (get the one with the red cover) or iTunes.

Americans, watch it on iTunes or DVD or Amazon Prime

Scott Owen from legendary rock band The Living End joins the gang via mobile phone to talk through Adam Sandler's first Netflix movie "The Ridiculous 6" (2015) - A comedy western about 6 half-brothers who find out their father is a notorious robber.

The brothers are played by Rob Schneider, Terry Crews, Luke Wilson, Jorge Garcia and Taylor Lautner. The father is played by Nick Nolte. There are also appearances by Will Forte, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, Jon Lovitz, David Spade, John Tuturro and Vanilla Ice.

As we veer off the 0% list to satiate our first return guest, filmmaker Michael Shanks (NOT the actor from Stargate) convinces us to watch a film with 16% positive reviews.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst writes and directs this... thriller? The Fanatic (2019) stars John Travolta as an on-the-spectrum super-fan who breaks bad and stalks a B-list actor with bloody consequences. It's kinda like Joker, Taxi Driver, and that Eminem song Stan...
