7/16/2019
Welcome to another listener-voted episode, this time bringing you the winner of our "monster animals" bracket: Snakes on a Plane! (insert that inevitable quote here).
This episode, like the movie, is shorter, but still really fun. Despite being an internet meme over-hyped sensation, Snakes lands solidly on the "enjoyable" side of the scale, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording.

Episode 0043 - Apocalypse Now (1979)
7/1/2019
You hear that? Do you hear that? Podcast, son. Nothing else in the world sounds like that. I love the sounds of geekdom in my podcatcher. You know, one time we recorded an episode, for 2 hours. When it was all over, I released it, and that's what you're about to hear: APOCALYPSE NOW!
We once again welcome you back to our show, with our forty-third episode. Matthew got a bit tired of the "fluff" movies we've been doing, and demanded something gritty, and boy does this movie deliver that....

Back from our vacation with the winner of our recent Tarantino Poll: nazi-scalping with the Inglourious Basterds!
This was our first episode born from our new multi-vote system for our fans and patrons, and we're super happy with the way that poll turned out. As it happens, people like having multiple votes for quality films, who knew? Anyway we'll definitely be doing more of that from now on!

Johnny Five alive! This week we're talking about 1986 robot comedy Short Circuit. Does it live up to our nostalgia? Listen and find out!

We're super excited this episode, as we just received an epic care package from Palladium Books! Ever-determined to convert Dusty to the "true fan" status shared by Matthew and Nathanael, Rex sent us an awesome collection of books and art, which we unboxed right before recording this session. Keep your eyes on our YouTube channel for that video once it's ready for...

Episode 0037 - Deadpool (2016)
2/26/2019
Catching up on some of the more highly-requested movies from our backlog, we're finally doing everyone's loudmouthed anti-hero, Deadpool!
Matthew had to miss the session due to change-ups at the workplace, so we've brought longtime listener Jerome as a guest to round out the cast. This episode can also probably be known forward as "The Fate Episode" because we finally, after 37-odd episodes, bring in a guest who can tell us all about the intricacies of the Fate RPG. Thanks for joining us,...

Take us out to the black, dear Serenity, and flash that shiny golden booty at our first foray off the silver screen and onto the tube, with the late great space western Firefly!
This time around we're trying something new as a temporary departure from our usual focus, and doing our first-ever jam on a TV show. Firefly is a show that all three of us have a strong fondness for, and we've been talking about taking a look at it for some time now. This experiment gives us a bit more freedom to...

1/29/2019
I AM THE TERROR THAT FLAPS -- wait that's a different story. This time we're doing the Batman movie most voted on by our listeners: Mask of the Phantasm!
Thanks for participating in our voting rounds, everyone! When last we put out a poll, it was to see which of the proposed Batman films y'all most wanted to hear us jam on. Winning with a landslide was Mask of the Phantasm, the only animated option on the list. This was quite surprising for us, and led to a very active discussion! Tune in...

Episode 0033 - Die Hard (1988)
12/17/2018
Yippie ki-yay, monkey fighters! We're back to talk about Dusty's favorite so-called "Christmas movie" DIE HARD.
Every year around this time, everyone on the internet gets into arguments about what their favorite Christmas Movie is. Within the first minute of said conversations, someone is going to mention Die Hard, and then the conversation usually explodes (unless everyone just nods along knowingly, as they should be rarely do). Dusty chose the movie this time around, sticking to his guns...

What is good in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and listen to this podcast with their women after they're gone. By Crom, it's our Conan episode!
We're FINALLY doing Conan the Barbarian, one of the greatest adventure movies of all time. Unfortunately, Matthew could not make it to the recording session, so in his place we brought our friends Poppy and Alex to join us and gab over how much we love this goddamn movie. This one's another long episode, as we had a lot to...

Episode 0031 - Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin', We're gonna do what they say can't be done. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.
This time we're hauling ass back to 1977 to take a high-speed interstate drive through Smokey and the Bandit. Burt Reynolds left us this year and crossed that great Moustache Bridge in the sky, so we wanted to do a little tribute to him through this podcast. Our main focus game of the evening is the...

Episode 0030 - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1967)
10/8/2018
This week we're jamming on one of the greatest western epics of all time: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly!
We're back with another long one, as we had a lot to say about this one. If not the greatest western of all time, it's certainly in the top three, and I'll guarantee you that the other two films in that list would also be Sergio Leone creations. There are a lot of good behind the scenes bits we jam for this one, followed by a wonderful passionate discussion about game options.

Seriously, how did I not remember how truly awful this movie actually was? And why were the 90s so obsessed with Kevin Costner? ye gods, folks. This one's a fun horseride through a forest of irreverent merriment, so hop on and enjoy!

Alright alright alright alright alright! Best thing about Dazed and Confused is, I get older, and it keeps driving home that nostalgic charm every time. It'd be a lot cooler if you gave this episode a listen, alright? But you can't keep the bowling ball, sorry.

We're all gonna die man, we're all gonna die! Game over... but really we're only just beginning! This time we're talking about the great 1986 sci-fi action horror extravaganza of quotes, Aliens!
Hoo boy was this a fun episode to record. We had to somehow condense several hours of exciting banter into this episode, and even still it's on the long side of things. So strap ion, grab your handy alien-splatting pulse rifle, and enjoy the action-packed spaceship ride. This episode probably bring...
