#160 Varsity Blues (1999) 2:40:41

5d ago2:40:41

2:40:41

Even though critics came down on this film hard, most movie-goers gave this movie a TEN!! So who is right? Today we look at Varsity Blues to see if it still holds up as a great football movie, a great teen movie, and a a great James Vanderbeek movie (do such things exist?). At the very least it has an insane performance from Jon Voight with a littl…

The Hurt Locker (2009) 1:20:31

3h ago1:20:31

1:20:31

In 2009 the Academy Awards increased the number of films that could be nominated for Best Picture. For over 6 decades we were used to only 5 films being selected. However, the Academy decided that more films should be at least acknowledged with being honoured with a nomination. So from here on out there would be at the very least 5, and at the most…

#159 Samurai Cop (1991) 1:56:26

1h ago1:56:26

1:56:26

Some say this is the greatest Bad movie of all time, up there with The Room & Troll 2, but still, we had never seen Samurai Cop ourselves. Having made our film previously with the same budget, we have a soft spot for micro-budget indies, and this one starring Matt Hannon (later Matt Karedas) and Robert Z'Dar (Tango & Cash) has to be seen to be beli…

#158 Wagons East (1994) 2:21:02

20d ago2:21:02

2:21:02

This movie is like putting the best football players on a team and then they lose to the New York Jets. A seriously stunning cast of actors, featuring John Candy, Richard Lewis, John C. McGinley, Ellen Greene & Charles Rocket just rolled out of bed and decided to make a comedy with the boldest of approaches. What if we don't land a single joke? Sad…

The Broadway Melody (1928/29) 1:08:27

27d ago1:08:27

1:08:27

There have been good, great, and even brilliant Best Picture winners over the past century. Many stay with us forever, and we love watching them over and over and over again. And then, well, there are films like The Broadway Melody. Those who have seen it understand. However, its importance and influence in the history of cinema is undeniable. It w…

#157 Platoon Leader (1988) 2:16:03

27d ago2:16:03

2:16:03

The embodiment of "we have Platoon at home", this Cannon Film was a far cry from their normal excess and nonsense as it looks like they tried to make a serious Vietnam movie with Michael Dudikoff (the guy from the American Ninja movies). Then they did the most Cannon thing ever and changed the name after Platoon came out to sound just like it. But …

#156 - P.C.U. (1994) 2:00:16

1M ago2:00:16

2:00:16

This prophetic movie may have disappeared (seriously, try and find it), but the legacy of it lives on. Was it a warning to the future that we all ignored, or was it a sign of the times that we just didn't realize was happening 30 long years ago? Jeremy Piven and David Spade star in this college flick about political correctness. SUPPORT US ON PATRE…

On this episode Ryan declares his love for Wing Commander yet again, we discuss which three movies we'd use to introduce a kid to Spielberg's work, and then we try to put our finger on the x-factor that makes certain big muscle guys, action stars while others fall flat.

Midnight Cowboy (1969) 1:19:55

1M ago1:19:55

1:19:55

What an incredible year in cinema! There were so many great films to close out the decade. It was a time when Hollywood turned a new page and began making deeper, darker, and more rich films. And one of those films was this classic starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman ... Midnight Cowboy. This movie rocked a lot of people when it came out with it…

2:02:43

Even though Sir Mix-a-Lot tried to warn us about what would happen if someone had buns, Jennifer Lopez went into the jungle anyway with Ice Cube and Owen Wilson and what do you think happened? A giant snake wreaks havoc on an unsuspecting film crew! Is this one of those movies that's so bad it's great, or is it just bad? What did you think of Anaco…

#154 Cabin Fever (2016) 2:06:28

2M ago2:06:28

2:06:28

A remake of the original Cabin Fever from just 14 years ago, because someone was brave enough to ask the question - "what if we did this movie again, but this time it sucked?" After everyone in the room was done clapping they actually made the thing! Same script, worse actors! James, Patrick, Mattila and Curt wade into this nonsense and take you th…

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 1:21:47

2M ago1:21:47

1:21:47

There have only been three films that have swept the "big five" Oscars. And this one, the ONLY so-called horror film to win, is the last to win Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay. The Silence of the Lambs scared us all when we first saw it in the theatres in 1991 ... and we keep coming back for more. We love the story, we are bl…

1:58:32

Steven Seagal and his prison durag team up with Ja Rule as they both try their best to embarrass themselves in this early 2000s action movie that takes place on Alcatraz. The only people trying to break out are the people that are embarrassed to be in this movie. Because of the time it came out, it does carry a certain charm from that era, and ther…

#152 The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 2:51:17

2M ago2:51:17

2:51:17

Did this movie deserve the beating it got from critics and audiences? The Lost World:Jurassic Park followed up one of the most beloved movies of all time, and it split audiences and critics down the middle. Jeff Goldblum was the only star that returned, and adding in Julianne Moore and Vince Vaughn was a big swing. We walk through this movie scene …

2:02:48

Knights of the Old Code! It is time to travel back to 1996 and revisit Dragonheart again to see if it still holds up. This is one of those movies that you either saw as a kid and loved it with all your heart, or you didn't see it until later and maybe it didn't hit quite as hard. How does it hold up 28 years down the line? Featuring Dennis Quaid an…

#150 Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) 2:24:14

3M ago2:24:14

2:24:14

You either love this movie and have been defending it for the last 8 years, or you checked out back in 2016 as soon as you heard the word, MARTHA!! Either way, people have strong opinions on Batman vs. Superman and our hosts are no different. This film has been hotly debated among our group since before we even had a podcast, which is why it made p…

Ordinary People (1980) Including 2024 Oscar Predictions 1:21:05

3M ago1:21:05

1:21:05

In 1980, legendary actor Robert Redford made his directorial debut with a film that moved so many and gave us great dramatic performances from Donald Sutherland, newcomer Timothy Hutton, and even comedy sitcom star Mary Tyler Moore. The film is of course the moving Ordinary People. It took home four Oscars, including Best Picture. However, after mo…

#149 Dragon Wars (2007) 1:16:08

3M ago1:16:08

1:16:08

Ratings wise this may be the 7th lowest film we've covered, but I'd rather watch almost anything else than this again. Dragon Wars is one of the worst movies ever made, and yet at the time of release was one of the most anticipated Korean films ever to come out. It somehow cleaned up at the international box office, and now it lands in our laps on …

You Can't Take It With You (1938) 1:05:47

3M ago1:05:47

1:05:47

Many directors fit certain categories of filmmaking ... when you think of films that focus on the little guy overcoming obstacles and beating corporations or banks or the rich ... well, you think of Frank Capra. Capra won three Academy Awards in 5 years and the last win is likely his least-known film for movie fans of today, You Can't Take It With …

1:50:10

Back in the magical land of the 1990s, Hollywood was turning over every rock they could to find the next great martial arts movie star! Step into the spotlight, Jeff Speakman! A Kenpo master with undeniable skill and technique, but it takes more than that to be a movie star. Let's throw every Asian bad guy from every 80's action movie ever made and…

#147 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) 2:37:48

3M ago2:37:48

2:37:48

While not the first ever made, chronologically first in the saga, and if we had started here we may never have received 8 other sequels. For some that's a good thing, for others, it would be a tragedy. The prequels have been equally praised by the younger generation and destroyed by the older ones, but at its heart is it actually a terrible movie? …

Unforgiven (1992) 1:14:28

3M ago1:14:28

1:14:28

Westerns are not as popular amongst movie-goers over the past 40 years ... but there is one that changed the way we look at the Wild West. Clint Eastwood gave us Unforgiven. It's a film that turns the Western tropes of the past on its head. It's a wonderfully written, acted, and directed film that blew everyone away. It was nominated for nine Oscar…

1:34:39

This is one of those classic bad movies that's been skewered by the best (MST3K), and it's time that we had our crack at it! The patrons voted for this one and so we're off to the desert to follow Billy as he stumbles around blowing up everything he can with his arm cannon while avoiding bullies and attacks from giant shell-less turtles! Explosions…

#145 Silent Rage (1982) 2:02:49

4M ago2:02:49

2:02:49

Silent Rage is a cross between your standard Chuck Norris beat'em up and a slasher movie, starring one of the inmates from Shawshank Redemption. Chuck Norris finds himself in a full-blown horror movie here, so it's time for BMR to go through this movie scene by scene and see if Chuck pulls it off, or if this one deserves to stay dead and buried! Jo…

The French Connection (1971) 1:18:27

4M ago1:18:27

1:18:27

The 1970s were the dawn of a new generation of filmmakers. The era between 1967 and 1979 is known as New Hollywood cinema. Directors and screenwriters began making films with fewer reigns on them and trying new riskier stories, with styles used predominately in European films. The French Connection is a perfect example of how darker and edgier stor…

2:16:22

One of the original side-scrolling beat'em ups of the 1980s was turned into a movie, so you can probably guess how that turned out. Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf star as Jimmy and Billy and they (kind of) kick their way through the gangs of a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. You've got rampaging mutants that look like part of the male anatomy, Alyssa M…

2:29:21

Tommy Lee Jones has 72 hours to steal back a rocket car, and he wastes 98% of that time rolling around with Linda Hamilton. Does this heist movie deserve a second look from audiences, who have it rated at a 29% audience score? Or does this rocket car need to drive off a cliff never to show its face again? Nicole, Clint, James, and Bob dive into a s…

Mrs. Miniver (1942) 1:14:28

4M ago1:14:28

1:14:28

There were a lot of films that were released after WWII from all different perspectives of what went on during that time. However, during the early 1940s, many films did the same DURING wartime. There were several that were extraordinary. Mrs. Miniver (1942) was one of those special films. Although very much a propaganda-like film released not only…

In an alternate future 1984, Tom Selleck is a beat cop chasing down runaway robots. Gene Simmons (yeah, the dude from KISS) is wreaking havoc with killer robo-spider, and only Tom Selleck and his bulletproof mustache can stop him.

#141 Jaws 2 (1978) 2:16:29

5M ago2:16:29

2:16:29

Jaws 2 has been largely rejected by audiences as a cash grab at worst or a low-rent retread of the original at best. The audience's scores are low, but does Jaws 2 deserve a second look? Bob, Ryan, Pat, and James go scene by scene through the sequel to one of the biggest blockbusters of all time to see if it's really a bad movie that rules! Plus a …

Well ... season 4 starts off with a bang! One of the BIG Oscar winners of all-time. It's epic in size, and was loved by so many when it came out. Is this romance/disaster film still all as great as it was all those years ago? Was it ever that great? Are the effects by Director James Cameron really just a mirage for a screenplay that isnt that very …

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze has been blasted by critics, and while it was beloved by children back in the 90s, what do those kids think now? Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello take on the Shredder (or spoiler alert: they don't) and try to save New York one more time, while also learning where they came from! Let's…

Clint, Mel, James, and Bob are back with Chuck Norris as he face-kicks his way through South America taking on the cartel. Billy Drago plays the perfect early 90s slimeball cocaine mogul as he sends his endless supply of henchmen to take on Chuck before he seizes his mountains of coke. The movie is a complete departure from Delta Force 1 which trie…

An American in Paris (1951) 1:15:47

5M ago1:15:47

1:15:47

Jack loves being a film critic ... analyzing both the good and the bad of everything that is cinema. The Best Picture Oscar winner of 1951, An American in Paris, covers both ends of that spectrum. The music of George Gershwin, the dance sequences, and many of the scenes really project this film forward ... but was all of that enough to deserve the …

No matter how many killer dirtworms (aka Graboids) he takes out, they seem to follow him all over the world. This time, back in his hometown, will he be able to stop them for good? Given that there are 7 Tremor's movies, I'm guess…

What if Ben Affleck amid "misses" Forces of Nature and Bounce, made a heist movie that had plot twists on top of its plot twists, featuring an unhinged Gary Sinise and a young (crazy) Charlize Theron? A recipe for success you might think, but Reindeer Games got blasted by critics, and audiences and it bombed financially. Where did it go wrong? It h…
