1:37:38

It's like Die Hard for kids but Patrick Stewart is there and it's also kinda like Hackers but... not as smart? Yes, it's 1997's Masterminds and Nathan and Brendan discussed it this week. While Brendan stans hard for Brenda Fricker, Nathan points out all the non-lethal violence in a movie with a whole lot of guns. They also discuss taxi radios, the …

1:36:37

Folks... sometimes (but not often) Clint Eastwood tried his hand at comedy and this is indeed one of them.

27d ago1:34:58

1:34:58

Our wonderful patron Megan Miller demanded it and so we acquiesced!

2M ago1:28:13

1:28:13

Listeners Choice Month continues! In this week's episode, the guys are "treated" to the kangaroo/martial arts/YA (?) movie Warriors of Virtue.

3M ago1:27:28

1:27:28

In the second part of our Liam Neeson spectacular, the guys shift their attention to Taken 3 (or Tak3n if you were a part of the stupid marketing team). It's a movie that asks the question... what if we just didn't take anyone? You can blame Liam Neeson for that and his weird-ass contract. But in regards to the movie, they also wonder what is up wi…

Taken 2 1:22:31

3M ago1:22:31

1:22:31

In a first-ever for the boys in Thinking Town, Canada... this is the first of a Taken twofer.

God's Not Dead (w/Troy Carruthers) 1:47:01

4M ago1:47:01

1:47:01

Look, I usually try to put a funny little summary here but this movie is vile and hateful and not good for Christians or Atheists or really anyone who doesn’t have a black heart.

1:33:16

This week's movie is truly baffling as the guys look at the Christmas (adjacent) film Pottersville, which is somehow not about the fantasy town from It's a Wonderful Life.
