Back to the HOSTS picking the movies, damn it! This week, we start off a very special Super Summer Flopbuster season by talking all about the Robert Townsend superhero flick The Meteor Man. Is this silly superhero movie based in Republican logic? Why does this children's movie have so many drive-by shootings? Are satin baseball jackets and bleach-blonde hair really that scary for a gang? And how does this comedy manage to last 105 minutes with almost no jokes? Plus: it was very hard to find this movie and the guys talk about the shifty "real network" that seems to be the only place in the world that houses the film.

Loqueesha
1 RecommendationsListeners Choice Month finishes off with a movie that many warned about and caused a firestorm of online rage from any poor soul that witnessed the release of the very misbegotten premise and trailer. The guys talk about the truly offensive premise combined with some of the laziest filmmaking in cinema history, the random M. Night Shyamalan slam, racist foreshadowing, the iPhone edit, the most infuriating ending of all-time, comparisons to the Dolly Parton film Straight Talk and much, much more.
