Who just commits check fraud in front of the child they’re berating to get a job? Why is Tone Loc here? Who let this man spend a week with a child? What stores just accept wads of cash from a child?

Animation-to-Live Action adaptations really should have waited until at least 2010. Though I guess we could only assume film technology would advance. I’m not sure what they thought of audiences at the time, much less days… weeks… months… years later. Even Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t want you to watch this. So truly, don’t bother.

There’s no cinematic universe safe from the taint of Jared Leto. Yes, we’re aware of how that reads. Is there anything to say about Morbius that hasn’t been said? Probably not.

There’s not enough Vaseline in the world to blur out the travesty that is The Christmas Consultant. Caroline Rhea has the herculean effort of helming the most lopsided, ham-fisted, anti-woman Christmas shmaltz and bless her heart she made us FEEL something in the end.    Well, something more than simmering rage at not getting those 90 minutes back.   - Russian Steel - - Sweet lord our content pool just grew exponentially - Hulu is now inside Disney+ The call is coming from inside the...

Nothing says “Christmas Spirit” like a screaming Austrian, extortion, gaslighting, black market toys, and less than subtle allusions to the size of your neighbors’ holiday package.

Oh wow, y’all. Some things from the 90s surprisingly hold up, but Father of the Bride may not be one of those things. Toxic masculinity, status quo gender norms, a questionable European accent, and the origin of Girl Math. It’s… a lot. If you need a stark reminder of what early 90s capitalism felt like, good news: it’s here, and it’s prematurely gray.  -Sidekicks!-  - Disney+ tops 150M subscribers: ...

What’s better on Halloween than another trip to Halloweentown? Hitting up Walgreens for discounted candy on November 1. A dentist visit after a chocolate gorge.

The crypt has bust open and a classic Disney attraction rises from the grave once again - this time with a start studded cast who are just as happy to be there as they are to cash a check. Wow! Ghost! This is the best Haunted Mansion movie that doesn’t have Muppets in it. There’s nothing foul or fiendish here, unless like Clancy you’re not a fan of Jared Leto.    - Hurry back… - - Goosebumps has hit the platform! And also Hulu, making me wonder why there is a bundle price if content...

October is here, so you know what that means: spoops and creps all month long! We thought, “Let’s do Werewolf by Night!” and fully prepped before remembering we’d already done it. So ahead of the color version coming on October 20th - and because Josh got his dates wrong and we can’t do Haunted Mansion until next time - give a listen to our breakdown of this astonishingly executed love letter to classic monster movies!   - Awoo! - - Werewolf, in Color! ...

Spooky, isn’t? Another ghost from the past, and so soon! Well, the vibrations tell me it was poor planning on our part. But those vibrations are so sensitive because our vacation was pretty dang rejuvenating. That, some editing woes, and Clancy’s sudden work trip means we’re prepping for the upcoming drop of 2023’s Haunted Mansion with a Rewind to Muppet Haunted Mansion! It was an absolute scream, and we hope it gives a glimpse into the future of the Muppet brand rising from the dead. ...

What is there to say about the yankee bastardization that is Confessions of a Shopaholic? Plenty. But come on, this isn’t booze or hard drugs. It’s not even cigarettes.

In hindsight, The Dawning of the Age of LiLo was perhaps more portentous of the road to come than we may have thought at the time. We’ve never read the book “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” is based on, and this movie certainly doesn’t pique my interest. In fact, the most interesting thing about the movie is the career trajectories of its youngest stars. Some became top dollar talent, some stopped acting entirely. This movie is a question, and the answer is “No.”   AUDIO WARNING: When...

Who doesn’t love Rick Moranis? This man did it right - comedy pro out of Canada bags a handful of franchises, cashes his check, and returns to a quiet life of fatherhood. Not on social media, no idea who he is really outside of his body of work, just raising his kids in quiet. G’bless. But hey apparently he’s coming back for a reboot? Maybe the kids are going to grad school.    - RIP Antie - Have you met Dusty? www.DustyOakhunt.com   New trailer for The Marvels!...

The Hamilton Sing-Along is on Disney+! To celebrate, we’re rewinding back to our extra-long Hamilton episode, featuring Gillian Pensavalle of The Hamilcast and True Crime Obsessed!    We gush about the turntable, the costumes, the voices. We dissect to the best of our ability the few musical themes we could spot. We talk (briefly and naively) about the show being an entryway into more in-depth learning and critical thinking of the founding fathers. And even after all that - we bring on the...

There’s really not much to say about Disney’s ‘Underdog.’ And that’s not a cliché. We literally ran out of things to say. Or perhaps more accurately, we ran out of interest in finding things to say. Be glad we kept this one short, and keep your ears perked for side discussions about AI, the mating habits of poodles, and how not to treat a cashmere sweater. - I hope that’s chili - - The Secret Invasion has begun, and it’s starting with the opening titles: ...

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about The New Mutants that we don’t cover in less time than they did. There’s easily about a podcast’s length of plot that was left on the cutting room floor. Josh was legitimately excited by the first trailer for this film, but corporate monopolization and global pandemics got in the way of a film that could have been good enough to overcome Charlie Heaton’s… “accent.”   - Do you believe in Majik?- - Watch the first five minutes of Secret Invasion!...

If you step back really far, about 20 years back or so, you can why Smart House exists. Not exactly a star turn or a career maker for anyone involved, though Katy Sagal gives us an amazing, terrifying,  Proto-Tarunga Leela meets Theranos Beta dressed up as Small Wonder. It’s no wonder it tops so many lists when it features a giant scary robot woman. “Step on me, Mommy!” is a more common thought than we may feel comfortable admitting.  But that is a different podcast altogether.  - Sugar...

Trust us, we’re not barking up the wrong tree, despite being inspired to watch 1976’s “The Shaggy DA” from TikTok. Questionable sourcing aside, we were absolutely delighted by this questionable classic. Did you know there’s a Medfield Cinematic Universe? Neither did we! Pretty sure they’re about as connected as late-season “Agents of SHIELD.”    - Gaga - - The inspiration for this episode: https://www.tiktok.com/@exhaustedwriter/video/7220078415842495787 - Content maybe going away: ...

Well, it seems Josh just can’t escape allergies… even when he runs up to the mountains. Ya boy has been congested and gross all week, and now sounds like a fireplace bellows with a hole in it. So rather than torturing himself for an hour (or y’all, for that matter), we decided to Rewind to one of our favorite episodes! Join us as we ruin Nina West’s favorite movie for her! I sure hope some of y’all got to see her in Hairspray. We had the dumb luck of moving away from Austin just in time for...

You could pick any number of family comedies where “Mr. Masculine Man has to learn to care about humans that aren’t women they want to bone” that are actually worth watching. This would not number among that list. We love topless Vin Diesel. We love Brittany Snow in just about anything. Shankman? Thomas Lennon?

Watch out for that tree! We watched 1997’s George of the Jungle - the guilty pleasure of suburbandEvery now and then (we fall apart, and) accidentally hit a trend in the films we watch.
