Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings - and have some laughs while doing so.

Episode 196: Hell House LLC (with Michael Moss)

Mar 09 2025 100 mins  
If you’ve ever worked on a feature length film before, you know one thing is for certain: it’s a miracle any movie ever gets made. It’s even more impressive when a bunch of scrappy filmmakers set out to make one with close to nothing for a budget. Hell House LLC is the first of many sequels in an original franchise that may not be the best found footage horror movie of all ti

Episode 195: The Midnight Meat Train

Mar 02 2025 67 mins  
All aboard! Step onto The Midnight Meat Train with us as this week we’re talking about the 2008 box office bomb from Ryûhei Kitamura. Bradley Cooper is about to pop with The Hangover next year, but before he can do that he has to take a ride on the subway with Vinnie Jones in this strange horror thriller. Is this a secret hit? The only way to find out is to listen to our episode

Episode 194: House (aka Hausu) (with Priscilla Hendry)

Feb 23 2025 74 mins  
As the great poet Gwen Stefani once said: this shit is bananas. 1977’s House (aka Hausu) is anything but conventional – piano monsters, mattress tornados, dancing skeletons, and a painting that spews blood. What doesn’t this movie have? For some it may be a bit too much, but for others it’s a feast for the eyes. So pack your bags and grab a slice of watermelon cause we’re

Episode 193: Jill Rips (aka Jill the Ripper aka Tied Up)

Feb 16 2025 67 mins  
We’re not quite done discussing bondage and all things kinky this week as we cover a movie we guarantee you’ve never heard of. 2000’s Jill Rips (also known as Jill the Ripper or Tied Up) is such a bad movie that it defies explanation. With more fade-to-blacks than a TV show, this thing isn’t just poorly made – it’s boring too. But what isn’t boring is our episode. So

Episode 192: Fifty Shades of Grey (with Brian Cottington of The Cinema Psychos Show)

Feb 09 2025 111 mins  
Valentine’s Day is this week – a special time of year where couples and crushes come together to celebrate their romance with one another. But one couple will be doing no such thing. Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey (totally real names) have some problems they need to work on (but they won’t.) Make no mistake: Fifty Shades of Grey is a terrible movie, and we’re here to t

Episode 191: The One (with John Houzer)

Feb 02 2025 83 mins  
This week on the program we’re diving back into the world of multiverses to discuss a truly bizarre product of the aughts. Two Jet Lis, nü-metal needle drops, and a pre-bald Jason Statham all get mushed into a blender and out comes 2001’s The One. This obvious rip-off of so many other films that came before it (The Matrix as its main component) doesn’t offer much other than

Episode 190: Madame Web (with Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon)

Jan 26 2025 102 mins  
Bonjour! A lot has been said already about the absolute trainwreck that is Madame Web – but we still have our fair share to offer as well. Lazy performances, confusing writing, and baffling ADR are just a few aspects worth discussing in yet another god-awful entry into the now defunct Sony-verse. So join us on our trip to the Amazon with our moms as we research spiders right befo

Episode 189: The Hunt (2020)

Jan 19 2025 87 mins  
We’re not quite done discussing the divide between liberals and conservatives this season, but this movie seems to be as 2020’s The Hunt has virtually nothing to say on the topic (other than having its characters shout buzzwords.) A swing and a miss from this Leftovers duo, Zobel and Lindelof managed to make a movie that’s all hype with no substance. But we still have a lot t

Episode 188: Longlegs

Jan 12 2025 108 mins  
It’s the 13th of the month, and Longlegs only needs one more murder to complete his task! Will he succeed? Will Lee Harker stop him in time? Or will the devil claim another soul? Tune in this week to find out as we talk about one of the best horror films of 2024. Plus, we’ll discuss the annoyance of waiters singing happy birthday at restaurants, hotel room cuck chairs, and the

Episode 187: Soft & Quiet (with Priscilla Hendry)

Jan 05 2025 99 mins  
It’s maybe our least favorite day of the year as we’re reminded of a truly embarrassing stain on our nation’s history, so it seems only appropriate to discuss a movie that focuses on similar themes in a microcosm. 2022’s Soft & Quiet had a release that was, unfortunately, true to its name. With that being said, we’re hoping this episode will bring more people around t
