Episode 135 - Foxy Brown (1974)

Feb 23 2025 58 mins

Cooper and Nolan aren't messing around this week when they meet FOXY BROWN! This Blaxploitation classic was meant to be a sequel to Coffy, and with the many, MANY things they have in common it really shows. Which is great news for the guys, since they both feel like they rated Coffy too low back in Season 2. Are familiar genre features and the welcome presence of Pam Grier enough t

Episode 134 - Live and Let Die (1973)

Feb 11 2025 59 mins

Cooper and Nolan are bringing back Bond this week when they cover Roger Moore's first turn as 007 in LIVE AND LET DIE! Seeing as this movie - ahem - borrows heavily from the Blaxploitation film genre, it feels appropriate that the guys are talking about it during Black History Month. From the stereotypical occupation of main villain Dr. Kananga, to the flamboyant 70s style of Baron

Episode 133 - Jack Frost (1997)

Jan 25 2025 59 mins

Cooper and Nolan are welcoming winter this week when they cover JACK FROST! This infamous straight-to-video horror movie about a homicidal snowman might have the same name as the family film starring Michael Keaton, but as anyone who came home from Blockbuster Video in the late 90s only to find the VHS tapes switched can tell you, they are VERY different things. For example: would

Episode 132 - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)

Jan 10 2025 54 mins

Cooper and Nolan are turning the page this week when they take on RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY! This bats**t crazy Hong Kong martial arts movie is filled with some of the most jaw-dropping practical effects that the early 90s had to offer. Add in the ridiculously over-the-top characters, overdubs, and story elements, and you have something the guys were struggling to classify. Is th

Episode 131 - Surviving Christmas (2004)

Dec 24 2024 58 mins

Cooper and Nolan are hoping for a miracle this week, when they cover SURVIVING CHRISTMAS! Holiday cheer is in short supply in this early 2000s comedy, which came at a low point in star Ben Affleck's career. But maybe - just maybe - an implausible romantic subplot, jokes about masturbation, and a cameo appearance from Udo Kier can help this thing be seen in a new light. Sound crazy?

2024 Christmas Beer Draft!

Dec 22 2024 25 mins

In this very special BONUS EPISODE, Cooper and Nolan unbox the first 18 beers from Oranje Son Brewing's 2024 Beer Advent Calendar! Hear the guys' first impressions as they each attempt to build the best possible beer roster for SURVIVING CHRISTMAS, while also reflecting on preferred styles, scandalous family secrets, and the current state of craft beer. So take a listen, and before

Episode 130 - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)

Dec 17 2024 59 mins

Cooper and Nolan are looking on up at the bottom this week, as they go BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS! Free love is flowing in this hippie-era tale of temptation thanks to infamous exploitation director Russ Meyer, and the guys are going along for the ride. And what a ride it is! One featuring sex, drugs, Superwoman, and the music of Strawberry Alarm Clock. Not to mention a bunch o

Episode 129 - Night Beast (1982)

Nov 30 2024 59 mins

Cooper and Nolan are having a night to remember this week, when they cover the early 80s sci-fi horror NIGHT BEAST by special request! Now if only they could remember who requested it... The guys may not be 100% sure who asked them to cover this, but what's certain is that the story about a small Baltimore-area town being threatened by a laser-toting alien is absolutely bonkers. Is

Episode 128 - The Running Man (1987)

Nov 17 2024 59 mins

Cooper and Nolan are making a break for it this week when they cover THE RUNNING MAN! Based on a novel by Steven King, this action packed piece of 80s sci-fi makes some surprisingly accurate predictions about the future, and features what is arguably an underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger performance. Is that enough to overcome the paper thin characters, questionable fashion choices,

Episode 127 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995)

Oct 31 2024 59 mins

Cooper and Nolan are keeping things in the family this week when they talk TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION! This ill-fated attempt to reboot a beloved franchise is full of confusing elements, from the filmmaker's intended message to whether or not aliens are involved in the bizarre conspiracy theory subplot, to Leatherface's sudden identity crisis. But maybe the most c
