Ep. 13 - DOA: Dead or Alive
A Bald Opinion
09/27/22 • 85 min
Le tête chauve chums are back, and this time it's awkward. This week we take a tentative step into the bikini clad world of DOA. A fighting competition on a mysterious island, where have we heard that before? Oh wait, but this time everyone is hotter and making out. Come for the tournament, stay for the convoluted half baked story about nano bots and the bare arms of Eric Roberts, as we try to survive Dead or Alive.

Ep. 12 - Rampage
A Bald Opinion
09/20/22 • 80 min
This week our very own glabrous gorillas take a swing at 2018's Rampage starring the most enviable of eggheads Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Joining Dwayne is Jeffrey Dean Negan, Naomie Harris, and the real star of the show, George the oversized albino gorilla. Cityscapes crumble, mercenaries digest, evil CEOs scheme, bald men rejoice at the sexiness of their naked temples- this film really has everything- but is this arcade adaptation worth your time, or is it a real joystick in the mud?

Ep. 11 - Silent Hill
A Bald Opinion
09/13/22 • 79 min
Join the hairless hunks this week as they ascend the quietest mound this side of the Otherworld as we take a look at the 2006 adaptation Silent Hill. Sharon has a bad case of the Creepy Kids, so Rose takes her adopted daughter to the mysterious Silent Hill in a bid to cure her, but things get spooky and the pair find that surviving a nightmarish hellscape is an uphill struggle.
Is this a film to scream about from the roof tops or is a... silent hill?

Dreamcast - Nidhogg & The Secret of Monkey Island
A Bald Opinion
09/10/22 • 18 min
The dreamcasting continues in round two, where the coned conmen turn the mic on each other and pitch two new hot properties. What is Neill's mystery game? Is Guðni really bringing two directors to the table? Did they actually record during a thunder storm?
All of this and more in Dreamcast Round Two!

Ep. 10 - Need For Speed
A Bald Opinion
08/23/22 • 79 min
Join as your favourite couple of disc heads put on their fuel caps and satisfy their urge. The urge for velocity. Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots, and Dominic Cooper strap in for a once in a lifetime adventure (because there was no sequel), as the long lasting and extremely popular Need for Speed franchise crashes onto the big screen.
Will this budding franchise have Vin double checking his rearview mirror, or will Aaron Paul be best sticking with a RV instead of a Shelby? Listen as Neill and Gudni discuss 2014's Need For Speed.

Ep. 9 - Mortal Kombat (1995)
A Bald Opinion
08/16/22 • 85 min
Join the Kueball Komrades as they go back in time to the optimistik 90's, where all a film needed was a few skenes with Kristopher Lambert, a handful of fight skenes, one absolute banging soundtrakk, and a total disregard for the letter C.
A surprise success that helped launch the career of Paul W. S. Anderson, does Mortal Kombat stand the test of time, or is this tale of a once in a generation tournament best left in the last generation?
