To celebrate 200 episodes of podcasting, the guys talk about Manos: The Hands of Fate, one of the all-time worst and most incomprehensible movies ever made. Despite that, how is this film linked with an Academy Award-winning screenwriter? Is Neil Breen a more competent filmmaker than Harold Warren? How about that incredibly bizarre "jazzy" soundtrack? And if you took out the pauses and awkward stares, would the movie be ten minutes long?

Heat (w/Britany Sparrow)

2 Recommendations

No, it's not the one with DeNiro and Pacino. Nor is it the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy cop comedy. This week, the guys bring in first-time guest and independent filmmaker Britany Sparrow to discuss the bizarre Burt Reynolds action (?) movie Heat. This movie has everything: it's written by acclaimed screenwriter William Goldman (!) adapted from a William Goldman novel (!!!), Burt says every horrible creepy insult in the first ten minutes of it, the film inexplicably becomes The Karate Kid halfway through and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Home Sweet Home Alone (w/Mariah Lirette)

1 Recommendations

Tis the season! The guys present their Christmas episode with regular recurring Christmas guest Mariah Lirette as they discuss the Disney Plus Exclusive Home Sweet Home Alone. Does this movie really think that making the 'burglars' into a likeable cute family was the appropriate update for this film? Why does the movie keep forgetting that Jeff is a computer genius when he can't figure out simple mechanics? Why does this movie waste nothing roles on so many talented comedians? And could that Devin Ratray cameo be even MORE embarrassing?

Next week: we unlock the Patreon Vault for a special Holiday episode.
