On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean have found themselves trapped in a future that’s not quite like our present. We watched the 2006 film from Mike Judge, Idiocracy.

Question for you: if you had to choose between living in an Idiocracy future or a WALL•E future, which would you go with?

I know this episode isn’t about that Pixar movie, but bear with me. Sure, we’d likely be morbidly obese, watching non-stop television, and have an insatiable appetite for cupcake milkshakes. But isn’t that kind of the dream? Sure is a heck of a lot better than being one of the many dumbest people ever.

Plus, WALL•E has several cute robots. What does Idiocracy have? TV in front of the toilet? Come to think of it, with all of our phones, we’re already kind of living the Idiocracy life. Really makes you think…

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are dressing up like Santa to rob a whole freaking casino on Christmas Day. We watched the 2000 film from John Frankenheimer, Reindeer Games.

When it comes time for us to wrap up the year, and stick a bow on top, we like to ask ourselves a question: did either of us really torture the other enough with our B-movie choices?

I mean, how else can we say goodbye to one year and welcome the next? This time, we’ve got a doozy for everybody. Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise, Charlize Theron. You know them. You love them. You might feel differently about them after this mess.

Listen on to find out what we grade this thing that Charlize considers her worst movie. Did we give it a brilliant, a flunder, or the dreaded blunder? Happy holidays, you filthy animals!

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are learning to live again while taking down some dirty, rotten criminals. We watched the 1987 film by Richard Donner, Lethal Weapon.

If 50-something is, as Murtaugh claims, “too old for this shit,” then what do we have to look forward to? And what does it say about us when we’re already feeling too old for a lot of shit?

I’ll say one thing: at least none of us have just been partnered up with a loose cannon with a death wish. I’m sure that’s not what Murtaugh wished for when he blew out his birthday candles.

But you know what none of us will ever too old for? Watching a fantastic ‘80s classic. And it’s a Christmas movie to boot? Santa Claus is bringing the goods for us all this year!

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to save Christmas from those dang little monsters. We watched the 1984 film from Joe Dante, Gremlins.

There’s a man out there. Look, look he’s crawling on the…

Oh wait, that’s the wrong kind of gremlin, and we’re not in a plane. Not that the ones in this week’s film are any less creepy. These ‘80s gremlins are arguably more horrifying and destructive.

Enjoy this holiday episode. We’ve filled it with gremlins cute and terrible. And remember, don’t get them wet and don’t feed them after midnight!

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to inject a little Christmas joy into the ruts of their lives. We watched the 1993 film from Henry Selick, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

This is Halloween, this is Halloween…

Wait, this is actually Christmas time. A small conundrum has popped up, and it’s sending us into an existential crisis. No, you’re catastrophizing! Is it Halloween? Is it Christmas? Can one thing actually be two things?

Listen on to find out just what the heck this film is. There are two things we know for certain: the songs kick butt and Oogie Boogie got what was coming to him.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are leaving the North Pole and finding our family. We watched the 2003 film from Jon Favreau, Elf.

Do you ever feel like you’re different from everyone else? Maybe you don’t look like everyone else? Maybe you’ve got different interests? Maybe you’re a full-grown human being living amongst Santa’s elves?

That’s the story of Buddy the elf in a nutshell (or maybe a chestnut shell?). After ending up at Santa’s workshop as a baby, he grows up to become the biggest elf of them all. But despite his loving upbringing, he still has questions about where he came from.

To kick off this wonderful holiday month, we’re talking about a modern day classic. It brought warm, joyful smiles to our faces. We hope that this episode will do the same for you.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just going to skip any post-Thanksgiving sales this year, thank you very much. We watched the 2023 film from Eli Roth, Thanksgiving.

It’s the sort of manic behavior exhibited by the insane shoppers at the beginning of this film that is the reason why other countries look at us and shake their heads. We’ve got to do better people!

To paraphrase an episode of Futurama, the holidays should be about bringing people together, not blowing them apart. Stay home, enjoy good food, love your family. A free waffle iron isn’t worth being brutally murdered.

Let this B-movie of the month be a warning: don’t let the holidays make you crazy. It could be the one thing that keeps a deranged murderer from getting us all.
