We're two guys covering all kinds of cult films from horror to action and everything in between. We try to bring funny and engaging content with our unique personalities, and we also review beer in each episode as well.

THE OMEN (1976)

Apr 11 2024 88 mins

Since The First Omen is currently terrorizing theaters, we thought it would be a good time to do the first Omen, aka The Omen 1976 with Gregory Peck as a father finding out his adopted son may just be the Antichrist. Here we talk about the film's lasting effects, the similarities and differences to The Exorcist, the various outfits of Robert Thorn, and even a connection to Hall

ASTEROID CITY

Mar 29 2024 91 mins

We've been fans of Wes Anderson for some time, so we thought we were about due for a new episode on his most latest output, Asteroid City. Here we talk about how the film further expands the border of Wes Anderson-isms, being a natural extension of The French Dispatch, the meta-contextual elements, the massive cast, and the bloat that sometimes creeps up in Anderson's most

LEPRECHAUN: ORIGINS

Mar 15 2024 56 mins

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We're continuing our journey through the Leprechaun series with a look at the WWE Studios reboot Leprechaun: Origins starring Hornswoggle as the titular horror character. The biggest thing about this movie is the fact that it is so generic and unmemorable, and we struggle to put into words just how humdrum the whole thing is. We're also drinking

STARSHIP TROOPERS

Mar 08 2024 69 mins

With all the success of Helldivers 2, we thought it would be appropriate to finally cover Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers on our show. This has all of the things you've come to know from the director: parodical elements, propaganda pieces, ultragore, and a healthy satirical take on fascism. We talk about all of this plus the Dina Meyer/Costas Mandylor connection! We'

FOXY BROWN

Feb 23 2024 77 mins

Happy Black History Month! We of course wanted to celebrate this occasion with another blaxploitation movie since we haven't done all that many on the show. Here, we take on Foxy Brown, released one year after Pam Grier's classic Coffy and featuring a lot of the same themes. We talk about the more exploitative elements in the film, the zany inclusion of certain scenes, and

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Feb 02 2024 94 mins

17 years after its release, Ryne finally gets to see the movie that spawned one catchphrase about milkshakes. We talk about this fantastic picture from Paul Thomas Anderson, including the overall throughlines of the film including capitalism and religion, the score, put on our best Daniel Day-Lewis impressions, and a lot more. We're rounding out Dry January with Guinness 0, the

DJANGO

Jan 26 2024 66 mins

We knew we wanted to do a spaghetti western, but after a misfire - we picked a movie we already did, and we'll explain - we decided on the originator of all of those Django westerns. Here we talk about Franco Nero as the protagonist, the machine gun, how this relates to A Fistful of Dollars and Django the Bastard, and of course, Maria! We're also drinking Industrial Arts

THE IRON CLAW

Jan 11 2024 80 mins

Welcome to 2024. For our first episode of the new year, we're taking on familial dysfunction and wrestling in A24's The Iron Claw, based on the lives of the Von Erich brothers. We talk about the film's historical accuracy, the depiction of wrestling, Ric Flair woos, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Athletic Brewing Company's Wit's End belgian-style

Chaberting Gifts (5) WINTER IN VAIL

Jan 01 2024 80 mins

Sorry for the late episode due to the holidays, but we're finishing our Chaberting Gifts series for this holiday season with a look at the generically winter-themed Winter in Vail starring Lacey Chabert as... an event planner again. Yes, we've covered similar movies in the Hallmark output this season, and we discuss all of the great things that make this movie tick includin

Chaberting Gifts (4) A CHRISTMAS MELODY

Dec 22 2023 71 mins

For our last episode before Christmas, we're taking on the unicorn of Lacey Chabert Christmas Hallmark movies: one that has a child's talent show, romance, and MARIAH CAREY! That's right - in 2015 the Queen of Christmas herself directed and "starred" in this Hallmark movie about a little girl writing the song "Oh Santa!" for her talent show performan
