  • Lovers of weird movies, this is the podcast for you!

    A buddy pal with similar movie tastes recommended this podcast and I am forever grateful. The movies that are covered are always worth the watch, even when they’re terrible. I have seen the most epically bizarre movies thanks to these fine, weird folks. Fan for life!

  • STOP the annoying soundboard

    You are not a morning zoo Radio show. Grating, annoying, horrible sound bites and often WAY too loud compared to the actual audio. Also need to focus the actual episodes, who is actually listening to 4+ hours?

  • For fans of faith and friendship 😇

    If you love toilet flushing sounds, giggling, and Gary Busey then Movie Melt is the ‘cast for you. It’s great to listen to at work because the episodes are lengthy (and girthy) so they meander around the topic and talk about whatever is on their mind.

BLACK COUGAR (2002) | New Jersey’s Greatest Superhero?
Q: What is Black Cougar about?
A DIY Jersey-set superhero movie about a toy maker who transforms into a vigilante figure called Black Cougar to protect children, with a chaotic plot about kid captivity, a secret lair, and a mayor-controlled crime world.
S2E11 Bank (2016) We HEART Belize
Q: What is Jah saying about his ideal woman?
He humorously mentions that his perfect woman would burst into the bathroom while he's taking a piss and try to kill him, then they would hit it off.
MM#209 Traveling to Olympia (2001)
Q: What did you do about it?
I tried talking to a few people, but there was a teacher I heard was gay, and I figured it would be kind of easy to explain that to him.
MM#209 Traveling to Olympia (2001)
Q: How long did you serve?
Damn near three years.
MM#204 Menahem Golan's DEATH GAME (2001)
Q: How should the film's ending resolve?
Coaching basketball can be more prioritized than family trauma in the film, which sort of makes a mockery of the storyline.
