Two Thumbs Down with Mike and Ryan

We’re covering two comedy JUGGERNAUTS in this episode: Chris Farley and Pauly Shore! Listen as we discuss Son In Law, Black Sheep, staples of 90’s comedy, which movie Ryan thought was one of the best movies he’s reviewed so far, and which comedian Mike has never had the pleasure of watching perform

It’s NFL season! Well it’s been football season for a while, but the boys are on it this week with two football classics (are they classics?): Wildcats and Little Giants. They also get into some Frankenstein and Guillermo Del Toro talk, some football talk, LL Cool J’s football rap, and one of the best comedic performances we’ve seen on the podcast yet!

This week is all about our QUEEN. Diane Keaton. We discuss her filmography and her only two movies on this list: Look Who’s Talking Now and First Wives Club. We also talk some child actors, the stacked cast of First Wives Club, and what you should do with a dog as bad as the one in Look Who’s Talking Now

Spooky Season is officially over, and the boys are trading ghouls and goblins for birthday cake! It’s Ryan’s birthday, and he got to pick any two movies he wanted. Staying true to his Siskel & Ebert roots, Ryan went bold, choosing two of the only three movies Gene Siskel ever walked out of. (Don’t worry, we’re saving the third one for a couple weeks from now!) Neither of these movies are officially on the Two Thumbs Down list, but they still capture the spirit of Siskel the curmudgeon.

The trees are out to get us on this week’s episode! We talk a whole lot of Sam Raimi, Mike just saw One Battle After Another so some more Leonardo DiCaprio talk, and the greatest movie best friends of all time

Everyone loves horror, and everyone loves a sequel. Well except for ol Gene and Roger. This week we bring back Austin Wolf-Sothern to discuss some slashers, some queer reading into a Freddie Krueger movie, and whether or not Dream Warriors is the greatest movie of all time

Spooky is sexy and sexy is spooky. This week we have some sexual horror flicks, a large chunk of Paul Thomas Anderson, some insane deaths in They’re Playing With Fire, another week of Timothy Hutton, and maybe the most crazy on screen pizza ever: mustard and anchovies

They're Playing with Fire (26:55)

The Temp (1:02:54)

Spooky season has STARTED. We kick off October with returning guest Mark Schroeder to talk some Halloween adaptations, Stephen King, John Carpenter, and what it takes to be a real on screen BADASS

The Dark Half (25:41)

In the Mouth of Madness (57:35)

It’s all about 90’s treasure hunters this episode. These movies and episode are packed with so much 90’s! I’m talking Christopher Lambert, Mario Van Peebles, Ice T (with a mullet) and Ice Cube (with a gold front tooth) as East St. Louis gang members, and, of course, stunts that may or may not have put some stunt people in their graves

Trespass (15:35)

Gunmen (44:30)

This week it’s all about MOMs. We have Don’t Tell Mom, The Babysitters Dead (15:59) and Trading Mom(48:14), a Sissy Spacek lead movie that’s been lost to time(maybe for good reason??). We also talk Spike Lee, what kind of mom is the coolest mom, and what might be the worst movie mom in cinema history
