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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
