Movies Ruined My Life

Nic and Devon join Brandon on the Slasher Fest panel and welcome back Trevor from TerrorInToronto.com for a 32-film Tournament featuring 5 legendary supernatural slasher icons. It's the match-up that every fan of the genre has struggled with as Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Chucky and Candyman face off for film supremacy. This very special and impromptu bracketed tournament takes some unlikely turns as Nic and Devon form an unlikely alliance, leaving Brandon less than pleased with how some of the voting goes. This one is a bit ridiculous, but a lot of fun for lovers of these iconic horror figures!

ETTING UP YOUR BRACKET & GAME BOARD – SEPT 15 2016
Join East, Devon and Brandon as they discuss how to play the fantasy sports themed games that we’ve created for you to play with us as you listen to the show!

Nic, East and Brandon have either their best or worst idea ever and dedicate an entire episode of the podcast to the MORTAL KOMBAT and STREET FIGHTER movies. Brandon wants more Ryu in Street Fighter, East wants less American Gladiators events in Mortal Kombat films and Nic has some interesting thoughts on the animated flicks. This one’s just for fun! - Follow us @mrmlpodcast on twitter and facebook.com/MoviesRuinedMyLife all week for more fun Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter content!

In the third installment of this 5 part series, East takes over the show to curse a bunch, eat cookies and discuss 5 more flicks on our list of MRML’s favorite PUNK documentaries. East tells you why you should sit down this week and throw on PUNK ATTITUDE, END OF THE CENTURY: THE STORY OF THE RAMONES and 1991: THE YEAR PUNK BROKE. Then, in the second half of the show - Brandon joins in to argue with East about THE LAST POGO and THE LAST POGO JUMPS AGAIN, two films that the boys have varying opinions on.

While MRML is on hiatus take a listen to an early preview of "Oh No, Kids Movies!", Paula's new podcast for parents and lovers/haters of children's film and television that just can't take the repetitive viewings anymore and need to vent.

Keep an eye for details over at OhNoKidsMovies.com, and join the Facebook Group to share your thoughts and kids movie stories with other parents and child caregivers.
ON THIS EPISODE:
It's okay if you're still trying to rationalize the EMOJI MOVIE's existence. Yes, it's low hanging fruit. Yes, the social commentary it attempts is probably over a year too late, but at least they can apparently round up a decent voice cast and carry a big budget. So let's talk about this soulless cash machine for studio execs and try to come to terms with the reality that a sequel or spin off isn't out of the question. With kids being overwhelmed with product tie-ins from clothing to fast-food meal toys, it's almost certain that this movie will be a thorn in our side well past the upcoming holiday season. So this movie sucks, and the kids seem to love it... Let's, us parents, have some fun at the film's expense. Also, who is the little dude that comes out of the bartender's back? Spin-off material anyone? "This summers best bartender stirs up some action and changes the way we see the service industry forever in... Back Man!"
