Like everyone else in the world, we watched Captain Marvel this weekend. Is it the greatest most important movie ever? Who cares, as long as people keep throwing money Marvel's way!
Listen to our brains melt after watching The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension within 24 hours of a David Lynch movie.
After the biblical suffering from last episode, we decided to treat ourselves a little bit by reviewing a couple of decent movies this time around. We compare The Fog and The Mist, which have nothing in common except evil things hiding in mildl
Listen to Toni's remorse as she bemoans forcing Eric (and herself) to watch Exodus: Gods and Kings and Noah. This is the last Ridley Scott movie we'll talk about for a while, we promise.
We start off 2019 by talking about the movies Eric was most looking forward to watching, two Indiana Jones/Romancing the Stone ripoffs from Cannon films, King Solomon's Mines and Firewalker. Is it possible to find an actor so bad they make Chuc
It's a Christmas miracle, we did a real episode for the first time in months! Relive your childhood movie traumas with us as we discuss the surprisingly trippy/creepy Legend, and the unsurprisingly schmaltzy Willow.
Yes, it's as bad as you heard. Even though we already talked about an unbelievably bad Robin Hood movie earlier this year, we found more to discuss with the newest Robin Hood from 2018.
The movie that may take the cake for most misguided name and marketing strategy of 2018, Overlord.
We take a break from the regular format with a Faint Praise Extra episode focusing on Shane Black's The Predator made by Shane Black. Hey did you hear Shane Black made a movie how exciting say all the increasingly more inexplicable Shane Black
Are you ready for Charlize Theron to get naked and cry because her evil husband moved her from Florida to New York City for his new high-falutin' job? Because it happened twice! This week we compare The Astronaut's Wife and The Devil's Advocate
It doesn't happen often, but this week brought us a little surprise treat when we compared two wax-themed horror movies, Waxwork and House of Wax. And no surprise to anyone who lived through the year 2005, the treat wasn't House of Wax.
We're here to tell you about all the times Jean-Claude Van Damme has played multiple roles in his movies, focusing specifically on the two movies where he plays secret twins - Double Impact and Maximum Risk.
After much time off for no good reason, we're back at it talking about two turn-of-the-millenium space stinkers, Supernova and Lost in Space.
For an Easter theme, we compare movies about coming back from the dead by talking about the Flatliners movies, the 1990 original and the 2017 remake.
In a moment of accidental almost-relevance, we compare the most recent two Robin Hood movies from 1991 and 2010, in the wake of a new version coming out later this year. Listen on to find out the winner of Kevin Costner vs Russell Crowe.
This episode we compare two different adaptations of The Three Musketeers story: one from 2011 directed by Paul WS Anderson, and another from 1993 by Disney that seems to be mostly forgotten (at least, forgotten by two representatives from the
In honor of the mini ice age taking over most of the US, we compare what are probably Roland Emmerich's favorite of his own movies, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012.
After an unplanned break for the holidays (our definition of weekly has been very flexible), we return with our first episode of 2018 with Johnny Mnemonic vs Tank Girl. The theme is supposedly 1995 movies about dystopian futures starring Ice-T,
In space perhaps no one can hear you scream, but we sure can still see you embarrassing yourself, as we learned watching Jupiter Ascending and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
The theme for this week's episode is video game adaptations from 2016, pitting Assassin's Creed against Warcraft: The Beginning. Find Toni on twitter @faintpraisetj if you want to tell her how ignorant she is about video games, or email either
In Eric's first time joining in a Faint Praise Extra episode, we talk about Justice League, and if it's as bad as we both think it's going to be.
In honor of the release of the new Punisher Netflix series, we watched all 3 of the Punisher movies to see which is the best one, and the results may be surprising given general public opinion about these generally forgotten films.
It's a Halloween miracle, Toni actually watched a horror movie for fun! In the last of the Eric-free FPX series, Toni talks about Happy Death Day and other movies and shows with the Groundhog Day theme.
What was originally supposed to be a matchup of remakes of The Mummy instead morphed into a comparison of The Mummy (2017) and Gods of Egypt, due to the fact that in the 21st century there's no good reason to make yourself watch a Brendan Frasi
Remember when Clive Owen played King Arthur, but like in Roman times? Neither did we! But we wanted to talk about the impressively bad Guy Ritchie King Arthur movie from this year, so we had to find something to compare it to. So listen to us s
