VS the Movies

You can't say we aren't going out with a bang. Because we are. Our very last episode and we're discussing a Linda Hunt movie. You're welcome.

It's been fun.

The self-contained movie that managed to spawn a franchise. It even won the Oscar® for being the best movie ever.

Cult classic? Check. Kung fu? Check. Bad acting? Check. Bill Macy? Check. Let's take 'The Last Dragon' for a test drive.

Jason Robards. The Two Coreys. Meredith Salenger. Harry Dean Stanton. What could go wrong?

Quite a few things actually.

Not the least of which is that we're coming to a close. There's still a few episodes left. And they're pretty good, too. So, don't despair just yet.

Do you love Jason Bateman as much (or more) as Brent does? Do you like having the things you love broken before your eyes? Are you into choreographed dance sequences and bad singing dubs? Do you have a thing for John Astin?

If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above questions then, baby, have we got an episode for you. Journey with Jeremy and Brent into the depths of... I don't want to spoil it for you.

What's your favorite scary movie? Ours is "The Notebook".

But we're not talking about that this week. We're talking about "Scream". Is it a good horror movie? A bad comedy? Neither? Both? Let's find out.

Bonus: you'll get to listen to Brent disparage a beloved director.

Bonus #2: There's a poll and you can choose who was right (Brent) and who was wrong (Jeremy).

Why did Ebert hate perfection?

Have you ever wanted to listen as someone loses their mind? In this episode you can, literally, hear Brent's brain break. Jeremy laughs while it happens.

Steve Guttenberg. What more do we need to say? This movie has Steve Guttenberg in it, and a Police Academy that operates unlike any Police Academy in America. According to some people neither of these things are enough to make a good movie. We may disagree with them about that.

Steve Guttenberg. Sorry, that's just a fun name.

This was going to be our Christmas episode but then we talked so much about Clifford that it got bumped to today. We would apologize, but Clifford is awesome. So is Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Or is it?

Jeremy decided that AI openings aren't for us (because Brent spent 3/4 of the last episode complaining about it). So, thank god for small victories.

This week we're discussing a very small independent film that you probably haven't heard about before that has a great soundtrack. Fun fact, used to be a band called "Mister Rodger's Cult Explosion" who did a cover of the theme song from this movie. I tell you this because it makes me chuckle. Not because you should seek it out.

Join us as we travel through the sewers of life.
