The Big Finale

4/18/2022
After a three year run, we have decided to finally power down the stardrive. We are sad to do so, but life has changed drastically for both of us and we don't have the time to devote to it anymore. We've enjoyed making you laugh, watching weird and horrible movies together, looking at pilot episodes for ancient lame shows, and reviewing some new films here and there. It's been a blast. Richard and I will still see movies together and watch awful ones, too. We just won't be podcasting about...

A little late, but we review the new Liam Neeson flick "Blacklight" and also Kenneth Branaugh's "Death on the Nile". Our movie of the week is one that is out this weekend. Rock out to the insanity that is "Studio 666".

Uncharted Lycanthropes

2/21/2022
In this episode we review the new "Uncharted" movie based on the popular Playstation video game series. Does it hold up to the awesomeness that is the saga of Nathan Drake? Also, we review the movie of the week: "Werewolves Within", another film based on a popular video game series. Which one was better? Tune in to find out!

Reacher and His Pal Lisa

2/7/2022
Not much hit theaters this week, so we didn't really review any motion picture, but we did watch Amazon Prime's "Reacher". We give our review from the perspective of someone who has read several of the Lee Child novels (Roger) and someone who hasn't (Richard). Our movie of the week is "I Am Lisa", a werewolf movie with hairless werewolves, Lee Press-On Nails, and lots of bad acting.

VFW Local 355

1/10/2022
This week we review the Jessica Chastain vehicle "The 355" and discuss a movie we've been wanting to get to for some time: "VFW". A mob of drug-crazed punks lay siege to a local VFW where a bunch of crusty old Vietnam vets hang out. What could go wrong?

Spider-Man No Way Home Alone

12/27/2021
On this episode we review "Spider-Man No Way Home" (NO SPOILERS!) and we also watched that new "Home Alone" movie on Disney+. The moral? They should stop making Home Alone movies.

Santa Jaws is Coming to Town

12/13/2021
In this episode we provide our review of Disney's "Encanto" and also share with you our experience viewing a new film for the holidays. Yeah, that's right, "Santa Jaws". It's basically just Jaws with a Santa hat on his fin.

Who You Gonna Call?

12/6/2021
We found a very weird horror movie worth a look called "Deep Red". It's an Italian feast for the eyes and has some of the weirdest murders we've ever witnessed. More importantly, we provide a spoiler filled discussion about the new Jason Reitman film: "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". It's been a long time coming, but we were so glad to finally see it... and see it 4 times, we did.

Bennie Loves You Eternally

11/8/2021
This week we watched an intentionally funny little movie on Showtime called "Bennie Loves You". You should watch this one, as it is genuinely funny in a really dark way. (Trigger warning for dog lovers, though). Also, we review "Eternals", "Last Night in Soho" and "Antlers".

Agent Revelation Rides the Shai-Haluud

10/25/2021
Over on Showtime there is a sequel to the movie "Agent" which is called "Agent Revelation". No, it's not a sequel to the "Left Behind" series of films with Kirk Cameron. It's a little unintentionally funny action adventure written, directed and starring Derek Tang. He thinks a lot of himself, as the cast continue to fawn over his character constantly, but the acting is pretty bad... and the rest is pretty bad... But then we review "Halloween Kills" and Denis Villeneuve's "Dune". That...

Here Comes Hell

10/18/2021
We found a lovely black and white send-up of schlocky 60's horror which is also strangely in the style of a Sam Raimi Evil Dead movie: "Here Comes Hell". You can find it on Shudder. We also review a couple of movies that are out right now in theaters.

Malignant Carnage

10/3/2021
This week we review a movie that's been out for a bit, a movie by James Wan called "Malignant". Yeah. It's pretty bad, but it's also unintentionally funny and that's what we're about. We also saw "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and review that. Next week? Bond!

Clint Eastwood Looks Weird in Slaxx

9/27/2021
This week we are back with a really weird little movie called "Slaxx" which is a heavy-handed satire about cheap, overseas labor. It was actually really funny, and we give a breakdown of the film for you in case you want to watch it on Tubi. We also review Clint Eastwood's new film "Cry Macho" and a new '70's styled cop action film called "Copshop" starring Gerard Butler.

Psycho Goreman

9/12/2021
Once in a while we come across a film that could be a cult classic, and this one takes the cake. "Psycho Goreman" is about the greatest evil in the universe under the control of a bratty little girl. The film is nearly all practical effects and is basically "Wishmaster", a Gwar concert and the most graphic kids movie (if it IS a kids movie) we've ever seen. We are both going to add this one to our blu ray collection, and you should, too.
