The Dudes are at it again with the alien invasion flick INDEPENDENCE DAY from 1996. Lots of people our age look back at the flick nostalgically, but how does it actually hold up? The dudes will look at the movie on its own merits as well as compare it to another similar contemporary to see what is good about it and what sucks. All this, plus more!

The dudes are gettin weird today: THE KEEP, Michael Mann's bizarre fever dream fantasy-horror-period piece-whatever movie.

Plus: The dudes catch up on what movies they've been watching with the last few weeks off.

Up this week is AEON FLUX, the 2005 live action adaptation of the 90's MTV sci-fi cartoon. While the animated series is beloved, the movie is definitely not. But is the hate warranted or not? Strap in, because the dudes are here to do some discussion on the matter. All this and lots more!

The Dudes are closing out their Halloween coverage (we missed one week in Oct so we're makin' it up now!) with the 1988 creature feature THE BLOB.

After a week off, the Dudes are joined once again by Donnie to continue Halloween coverage with BRAINDEAD, aka DEADALIVE, the Peter Jackson gorefest classic. Is this a comedy? Is this a horror? Is this the grossest movie of the 90's? All these questions and more will be answered.

October is here and you know what that means...

The dudes are doin a weird one today: ELECTRIC DRAGON 80,000 V, a Japanese arthouse superhero flick from 2001 that's basically an anime brought to life. The dudes will talk about what worked for them and what didn't in this movie that's somehow way outside their wheelhouse but at the same time right up their alley. Plus, A Simple Plan, Pizza Party Massacre, Lone Wolf & Cub, Boogie Nights, and Len's upstairs neighbor is making a bunch of weird noises!

Today we do something different: The Dudes are here to reckon with their ratings... We looked at movies we've reviewed and compared our ratings and to the average rating on Letterboxd, and we pulled the top 25 with the biggest difference between how we see 'em and how people in general see 'em. Were the dudes too harsh or too kind on certain movies? Will they double down, or will they concede they were wrong? Can we understand or quantify WHY certain movies are seen in such a different light...

Aliens! Fireworks! Low budget sci-fi! British slang! All this and more can be found in the 2011 hidden gem ATTACK THE BLOCK, and the Dudes are here to talk about it today.

Who doesn't love THE LORD OF THE RINGS? The dudes certainly do, and today they'll take a look at the entire trilogy and talk about why.

Not a joke at all. Listen now!

What do you get when you combine Godzilla/Gamera style Kaiju with Gundam type mecha sci-fi and make it a big blockbuster action flick? 2013's PACIFIC RIM. The dudes are going to dive into this movie and pick it apart. Is it self-aware, or does it take itself a bit too seriously? Does it do more right or wrong? How has it aged?

God this movie is so bad. Like this movie legit sucks so bad. Battlefield Earth is the movie by the way. It is the worst movie we have ever seen collectively. I am so annoyed about how bad this movie was I can't even think of anything to put in the description here. The movie is terrible and we talk about it.

The Dudes head back to the ole west to talk about TOMBSTONE. This is considered by many to be one of the best modern westerns... does it live up to the hype?
