Send us a textIt's double O hell no this week as the boys make their first pass at Bond movies. We're not entirely sure what happened here, but like always, there's a supervillian bent on world domination, two Bond girls, and a crap ton of gadgets designed to kill people in original ways. Not to mention waves and wav... more
Send us a textHappy New Year, y'all. We're starting 25 with lots of chomp by reviewing one of the big 'uns, the OG Jurassic Park. Over 30 years old and not even a scratch on it. Stick around til the end where the gang lovingly discuss things in Hollywood they wish would go extinct. Fun!#jurassicpark #dino #1993 #bloc... more
Send us a textWe're wrapping up 2024 with a very special movie picked by our new guest contributor @kevin_the_movie_guy. Better yet, Kevin's sitting in for this one too!We decided Santa could just go to hell for the time being because we wanna talk about 1996's From Dusk Til Dawn. It's a subtle little understated char... more
Send us a textYou're gonna like these apples for sure. This week the boys are going back to 1997 to revisit this amazing take on the "troubled genius" theme that Hollywood loves so wicked much. Watching hurts a little more this time knowing Williams isnt with us anymore, but luckily the Southie accents more than make... more
Send us a textWe're looking back at a Christmas movie that even our snarky GenX personalities cannot diminish. Quotable, hilarious, and tolerantly sappy, Will Ferrel's portrayal as the 6'3" elf alone to his own devices in the Big Apple is a favorite among the Grumpy Nostalgia offices. Plus Jimmy Caan. Plus Peter Din... more
Send us a textGobble Gobble, y'all. We're so caught up in the holiday excitement preamble, we are using our precious studio time to wrap gifts and browse thru the Sears Christmas catalog making our lists for Big Red.In the meanwhile, please revisit this lost episode that no one really bothered listening to the first ti... more
Send us a textThis week, we're diving into the 1990 Dick Tracy movie. Remember this one? Of course you dont.Imagine Tim Burton’s Gotham got hit with a color filter that only understands primary colors and then added... a whole lot of questionable choices.Warren Beatty is no Michael Keaton (sorry, buddy), but he does g... more
Send us a textWe dare you admit you didn't watch this on HBO at every pizza-fueled sleepover in the 80s. It's a fun mix of horror, comedy, and well-meant gratuitous gore and nudity, just like the eighties. Your gang had a blast checking this one out again.To end both the 4th season and their month long horror spectacu... more
Send us a textOur final trip down memory lane is last year's retrospective of Wes Craven's original A Nightmare on Elm Street.Creative, original, and generally icky, just like your hosts.Stick around to the end where the gang talks about their favorite (and least liked) Halloween candy.
Send us a textBack in the 70s, most things were designed to ruin children. Jarts, doctors smoking in the exam room, steel playgrounds, and television movies about kids getting killed. So naturally, we decided to review the most egregious of these, Salem's Lot. Mostly tame by today's standards, this Stephen King vampire... more
Send us a textHorror, dread, and misery. And that's just Keanu's accent. Gary Oldman is serving generous amounts of holiday ham in this campy, unintentionally hilarious 90's horror classic.Not to be outdone Anthony Hopkins goes full batcrap crazy here too. But it's all okay because our Sweet Winona looks over us all.T... more
Send us a textWe're bringing our Dominos pizza and a two liter Coke downstairs to the rumpus room for another late night viewing of the greatest cult horror comedy ever made. Violent, gross, disturbing, yet never not hilarious.Even better, everyone's favorite veterinarian, Dr K. joins the gang to offer some ridiculous... more
Send us a textCool teen vampires? No way! We're going back to the glorious 80s this week when a movie like this one would be celebrated by the masses. Is it as good in the rear view mirror? Well sadly, one of your hosts gets violently and copiously sick reliving this one if that's any indication. See if you can guess... more
Send us a textTo honor last year's Halloween BooNanza, we've decided to re-release those spooky episodes every Saturday this October to introduce them to our new friends while still managing to annoy our regular fans.This one features our favorite vinyl archivist, @aron_gagliardo as we violate our tender sensibilities ... more
Send us a textThis week the boys review this adorable story of American entrepreneurship, love, and pelicans. Al Pacino's iconic, if not over-the-top, performance has developed its own archetype of cinema that's often imitated, rarely duplicated. Show favorite, Michelle Pfeiffer owns the screen only with a few eye rol... more
Send us a textIs it finally happening? Did a Yoko-type infiltrate and cause the inevitable break up we all saw coming since Twister released in 2022?In a word: nahWe simply wanted to let you know about some upcoming show news and a slight schedule change for this fall. No, we're not skimping out on any episodes. You'... more
Send us a textBereft of new ideas, Hollywood has again taken another of our classic movies to reintroduce it to a new audience and we're starting to take it personally. These are our movies, damn it. Make up your own ones!Okay, tantrum over.This time were going back to the glorious original, Betelgeuese from 1988. Ke... more
Send us a textWhat if Evel Kneivel and and Ed Wood had a baby? Broken Arrow, that's what. Travolta is a proper cured Virginia ham in this John Woo action adventure and we cant get enough of it. Long admired behind the scenes, the boys let there feelings out with extreme prejudice. Inspired by cute, little Samantha M... more
Send us a textWhy go to a theater to see an 8th sequel of Alien, when you can simply revisit the franchise from the comfort of your own ear buds? Inspired by the new release of Alien: Romulus, the boys remastered their early take on the Alien series with new content, new audio, and new embarrassing discourse! Only ab... more
Send us a textJust when we thought we were out. The boys get a chip on their shoulder this week, defending this often maligned finale. By today's standards this movie could easily sweep the Oscars, but back then, a bunch of film school drop-outs had a serious case of sour grapes and the rest was history. We suppose t... more
Send us a textWe finally hit 88 miles an hour this week, with a look back at this 80s classic. It's as good as you remember, but, true to form, the boys manage to find just enough cringe to make you feel slightly embarrassed. (hey, it's what they do). Jammin music, awesome cast, and one of Hollywood's most perfect scri... more
Send us a textGet a head start on the upcoming (and questionable) AppleTV reboot by porting back to this 1981 fever dream of a movie. There's too much weird to count here, but the boys slog through this confusing, but often hilarious Python-based scifi adventure.For your pleasure, the boys wrap up this episode with an... more
Send us a textDespite all our rage we are still going back to Nic Cage. This one seems a little more tolerable in that its more an extended music video rather than a movie. But hey! It's too hot to do anything else right now so why not?Fast cars, loose dialogue, a blond, dread-locked Angie and more stereotyped chara... more
Send us a textWe're taking a look at Spielberg's masterpiece this week. Not usually the first movie you associate with Steve, but arguably his best. Plus, the boys spend some time remembering how great the 70s were for being mischievous little boys. Stick around to the end to make fun of our list of favorite "little ... more
