Tremors (1990) SE05:EP19

Season 5 · Episode 19

Sunday, August 31, 2025 • Duration 53:49

Send us a text

Killer worms with a side of Bacon. In the 90s, this was more than enough for us. This week we're going the full six degrees of something-or-other trying to interpret this ridiculous 1990 B-movie. Kevin Bacon's hair stars as Val, the garbage man turned worm basher. Along for the ride is Fred Ward's Earl, who repeatedly ask us to pardon his French. And we do willingly. Stick around to the end when the boys talk about their favorite B-Movies. It B terrible.

Speed (1994)

Thursday, August 28, 2025 • Duration 54:55

Everyone loves Keanu, but none of you listened to us talk about him in this episode the first time, so we're trotting it out again. Maybe it was because we were only 10 episodes into our podcast career or, more likely, our enormous lack of talent that kept you all away. Either way; Who cares? In this glorious 90s action flick we are constantly reminded of how cool things used to be in the movie theater. Great stories, great acting, and no unnecessary CGI. Keanu and Sandy are cute as bugs and the ever whacked out Dennis Hopper keeps the joint hoppin for the entire two hrs. Pop Quiz, hot shot. How do make an awesome action movie? Listen in to find out.

The Flintstones (1994) SE05:EP18

Season 5 · Episode 18

Monday, August 18, 2025 • Duration 54:06

Send us a text

We're going back to the stone age this week, which is appropriate in that the viewing experience feels like you're passing one. Justin and Mike give their timid responses to the Flintstones in this brutal episode that test the very boundaries of their podcasting fortitude.

John Goodman and cast do their best, but a script that took 35 (!) writers 87 minutes to tell wins out in the end. Only the strong survive indeed. Thanks Darwin!

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Wednesday, August 13, 2025 • Duration 01:01:44

Send us a text

You want dinosaurs? We got your dinosaurs right here. Before there was Scarlett Johannsen in a 6th sequel to a movie, there was Goldblum. And we were stuck with him. While we'd personally watch Scarlett read the phone book for 2 hrs, in 1997 this dino epic was all the rage. Speaking of rage, co-host Mike loses his cool at the very concept of this movie right away and that's always fun. This one was one of our earlier episodes that no one ever listened to and as your punishment, we're trying it out one last time before it becomes extinct. (See what we did there?)

This is Spinal Tap (1984) SE05;EP17

Season 5 · Episode 17

Monday, August 4, 2025 • Duration 55:32

Send us a text

We don't go to 11 here, but we come close. This week were looking back at the glorious mockumentary Spinal Tap from 1984. One of the greatest rock movies ever made was never really appreciated in its time (just like us). We all reveled in the pure, unadulterated hedonism of metal in the 80s and barely lived to tell the tale. That's why our music was so good, it could potentially kill us. But hey, we're sure Fallout Boy is dangerous nowadays too.

Drunk on nostalgia, were saving the best to the end with a wrap of of our favorite metal bands of all time. Spoiler alert: there's not a single band on here formed after 1984, just like it should be.

Grumpy Nostalgia: ReMembers Only - #4: Paved Over Paradises

Wednesday, July 30, 2025 • Duration 40:44

This week we're looking back at those amazing stores, venues and restaurants that we thought would never go away but now somehow have simply turned into T-Mobile stores. While we suckle at the teet of Amazon now, some of remember going shopping, playing in arcades and eating at 6000 calorie steak buffets.

If you ever played Frogger for an hour on one quarter, shot a 178 at the local putt putt, or gagged on Showbiz pizza, this one should be right up your alley.

NIC CAGE HEAT WAVE IV: Face/Off (1997)

Saturday, July 26, 2025 • Duration 54:15

Send us a text

Our summer retro series comes to a merciful close with the headliner from hell, FACE/OFF from 1997. By now we're sure you're Nic Caged out but hang in there for one more last heave of a movie. This is easily in our top 5 favorite episodes of all time. Cage and Travolta battle in a never-ending struggle to see who can chew the most scenery in every frame of this John Woo epic. Spoiler alert, the both win. The only losers here are us.

Famous for the first installment of our infamous episode-ending segment "You Just Made the List, Pal!

NIC CAGE HEAT WAVE III: Con Air (1997)

Monday, July 21, 2025 • Duration 57:04

Send us a text

It's easy to say Con Air is a terrible movie. So we do. We say it a lot of times.

Thankfully its so full of stereotypes, overused tropes, and bile it makes for a great podcast. In this week's special re-issue episode you get to listen to the boys really struggle to comprehend how this movie got made (in a fun way). The first podcast episode that required overtime in order to sort everything out. Alabama Nic is in rare form and you got Malkovich doing a turn as a whacked out serial killer. Pure delight, especially when Steve Buscemi shows up trying to eat a little girl.

NIC CAGE HEATWAVE II: The Rock (1996)

Saturday, July 19, 2025 • Duration 59:34

Send us a text

The words "number 2" have never been more appropriate as we welcome the next movie of our special summer homage to Nic Cage with 1996's The Rock. Add in some Connery and his wigged, disproportionally-sized stuntman and we got ourselves a classic 90s action hit, y'all.

For some reason Nic is named Stanley Goodspeed. And there's poisonous gas. That's should be enough for any of you.

NIC CAGE HEATWAVE: Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)

Monday, July 14, 2025 • Duration 01:00:07

Send us a text

We kick off our special summer series dedicated to America's greatest living actor, Nic Cage, with 2000's Gone in 60 Seconds. This movie features 63 songs in 119 minutes which is important because it helps to drown out the dialogue. Memphis Raines and the gang boost 50 cars in one night and the bad guy falls into a coffin and we haven't even got to the implausible stuff yet. But Angelina Jolie looks great at least.

Remember - We're featuring 4 of these in the next 2 weeks because that's what we think you deserve!
