Episode 250 - SMALL SOLDIERS

Small Soldiers, big episode! We're marking our 250th outing by returning to this hidden gem from Joe Dante—and to the very origins of this podcast. There will be no mercy as we discuss an unapologetically savage kids movie brimming with easter eggs for the olds.

War! What is it good for? An absolutely fun-filled WWWW milestone!

Small Soldiers (1998)
Directed by Joe Dante
Written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio
Story by Gavin Scott and Adam Rifkin
Starring Gregory Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Kevin Dunn, Phil Hartman, Ann Magnuson, David Cross, Jay Mohr, and Denis Leary, with the voices of Frank Langella and Tommy Lee Jones

Episode 249 - DEMOLITION MAN

Demolition Man delivers an explosive showdown between two massive '90s action stars, but it's the eccentric social satire that steals the spotlight. We deconstruct the movie's super-specific, super-sanitized vision of a not-too-distant future with first-timer (and Cam's bro) Kyle Siemer, and embrace the enduring mystery of the three seashells.

Demolition Man (1993)
Directed by Marco Brambilla
Written by Daniel Waters, Peter Lenkov, and Robert Reneau
Starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, Denis Leary, Rob Schnieder, Benjamin Bratt, Bob Gunton, Glenn Shadix, and Nigel Hawthorne

Episode 248 - BAD SANTA

Finally, a holiday episode for the naughty list. This December we're spending time with a profane, perverted, perpetually pickled Bad Santa. Kev Young joins us to unwrap the raunch, the wrongness, and the surprising soul in this lump of curdled Christmas cheer. Fix yourself some sandwiches and enjoy this deeply inappropriate episode!

Bad Santa (2003)
Directed by Terry Zwigoff
Written by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa
Story by Joel and Ethan Coen
Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Brett Kelly, Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac, John Ritter, Lauren Tom, and Cloris Leachman

Episode 247 - PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES

Transportation travails are just the tip of the emotional iceberg in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a classic two-hander that reveals new layers to its heroes with each misadventure. Find out how a homecoming fable gives us all the feels--and artfully unloads all its f-bombs--in this heartwarming Thanksgiving episode!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Written and directed by John Hughes
Starring Steve Martin and John Candy

Episode 246 - MR. BOOGEDY / BRIDE OF BOOGEDY

Wacky shenanigans coexist with childhood traumas in a deep-cut double feature of Mr. Boogedy and Bride of Boogedy. Alisha Carderella introduces us to a plethora of happy(ish) haunts, practical jokes, and Puritan horror – all this, plus an epic listener email on our spooky season spectacular!

Mr. Boogedy (aired April 20, 1986)
Directed by Oz Scott
Written by Michael Janover
Starring Richard Masur, Mimi Kennedy, Kristy Swanson, David Faustino, Benjamin Gregory, John Astin, and Howard Witt

Episode 245 - A KID IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT

Camelot gets a healthy dose of '90s attitude when there's A Kid in King Arthur's Court, a fast-paced farce with a surprisingly stacked cast of nostalgic faves and future A-listers. Medieval history plays host to baseball, biking, and 'blading – and we're not talking about swordplay – in this episode that's certifiably baaaad (meaning good).

A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995)
Directed by Michael Gottlieb
Written by Michael Part and Robert L. Levy
Based on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court by Mark Twain
Starring Thomas Ian Nicholas, Joss Ackland, Art Malik, Paloma Baeza, and Ron Moody with Daniel Craig and Kate Winslet
