Two Thumbs Down with Mike and Ryan

VAL KILMER 4EVER! This week the boys pay tribute to one of the best of a generation and talk the Val Kilmer filmography, Mike and Ryan’s Letterboxd reviews, and the thousands of disguises that don Val Kilmer’s character

To boldly review where two men have reviewed before. This week, the fellas bring on Seth Babb to review Spacehunter, Star Trek V, the recent passing of Val Kilmer, what the hell is a space opera, and of course, what it means to be a Trekkie

It’s basketball playoff time so we’ve got our WORLD FAMOUS basketball (sort of) edition of Two Thumbs Down! The fellas talk about how well BASEketball holds up(not well), the economic implications of NBA Finals ticket prices, and more importantly…SKA

It’s another week of politics and the boys, for no reason at all, are talking about the US going to war with Canada! In Michael Moore’s only non-documentary film, Mike and Ryan talk about a president invading Canada to increase his poll numbers! And the fellas also talk Looney Tunes, Wallace Shawn, and the endless well of entertainment that is William Friedkin interviews

Take me out to the PODCAST! Your best friends, Mike and Ryan, bring in their best friend Dylan Hamilton-Smith to talk two baseball movies and discuss Anaheim (more like AnaCRIME), is Albert Brooks the comedy GOAT, and all the dozens and dozens of Academy Award nominees and winners in Angels in the Outfield and The Scout

The kids are alright…or are they? This week, the guys welcome special guest Ray Harkins (100 Words or Less podcast) for a chaotic ride through bizarre Oreo and Dr Pepper flavors, a heartfelt RIP to the one and only Gene Hackman, and a debate that has plagued mankind for centuries: Ska vs. Swing.

Live, from your (wherever you listen to podcast), it’s Two Thumbs Down! In honor of the 50th anniversary, the boys watch two 90’s movies based on Saturday Night Live sketches and discuss SNL, 70’s comedy, the stacked cast of Coneheads, and the essential viewing that is Chris Kattan’s Mr. Peepers

The boys get political for a presidential double feature, diving into the high-stakes world of political hijinks! Along the way, they salute Eddie Murphy, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Wilford Brimley while wading through two movies absolutely stuffed to the brim with BITS.

It’s Oscars season, and while none of this year’s Best Picture nominees landed on the dreaded two thumbs down list, the boys are diving into something just as fascinating, sequels to Academy Award nominees. They grapple with the impossible task of following up The Wizard of Oz and The Fugitive, get their minds blown by one of the strangest films they’ve ever covered, and, most importantly,deep dive into why Executive Decision reigns supreme(even though it received two thumbs up and isn't even on the list).

I want CANDY! This week the boys bring in friend and child acting superstar Ashley Buccille to discuss one of the greats in a John Candy double feature! They talk about master filmmaker Jon Turtletaub, whether Sanka is dead or not, and does Cool Runnings hold up in the year 2025
