Feb 19, 2017

We dig into our first YA adaptation, Lion's Gate savior The Hunger Games. It's all here. The highs (Jennifer Lawrence, PSH), the lows (Lenny Kravitz?, the lesser Hemsworth) and everything in between (Rue). Let the games begin.

Feb 12, 2017

Rene Russo. Chris Rock. Jet Li. Joe Pesci with bleach-blonde hair. And then a demotion to network television. Lethal Weapon slides downhill.

We're revisiting some old friends on Joel Silver's sticky, disgusting casting couch. Murtaugh and Riggs! A family man and a suicidal Nazi with a barely hidden Australian accent. Okay, okay, okay.

We mansplain the Legally Blonde franchise to you! 

Jan 22, 2017

Jan 15, 2017

FORCE!!! First, Clint Eastwood participates in Battle of the Network Stars and then he checks out Tyne Daly's ass. Somehow, it's all very racist and occasionally boring.

Clint Eastwood finally hits our shores. With a chair. And a pretty sweet handgun. Do you feel lucky?

Jan 1, 2017

Straight from the loony bin, we're back! And we're talking all things Westworld, Michael Crichton, Peter Fonda being terrible, Yul Brynner's odd sashay with Blythe Danner and especially Spa World. Oh yes. Spa World. Plus, we talk a little TV. Wiki-wild. Wiki-Wild-Wild-West.

Dec 11, 2016

Danny Glover is an action star and the hellish LA streets of 1997. And then your boy and mine, Paul W.S. Anderson, turns the lights out for a brawl to end them all. At least until the sequel. Whoever wins, we lose. 

Nov 27, 2016

Get in the chopper. It's testosterone in overdrive this week. 

Nov 20, 2016

We slog through the drudgery that is the Austin Powers franchise, a half-assed sprawl of sex and poop jokes. "Get in my belly," it says, and we try our hardest not to be swallowed up.

It's our most shagadelic episode yet! With all that that entails. Yeah, baby. Yeah.
