    As a longtime fan of his and a new listener here I checked out the Airheads episode and it was good but hard to hear Brendan Fraser called Brandon throughout the episode .

  • Yikes

    I listened to the Muriel’s Wedding episode. Apparently it’s fine and normal when men use women for sex but shallow and pathetic for a woman to be excited about their wedding day.

    Get bent, dude.

  • Awesome podcast

    Been binging this podcast and I love it. They’re pretty spot on with their committee ratings of 80s and 90s movies, revisiting them to see if they hold up. Gene could be a little less woke, everything is “white males bad” and “that’s racist”, but he’s got a great radio voice and he and Big D are/were complete degenerates, which I can relate to.

    Gene and Big D could make a podcast about paint drying and it would still be the best.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Day of the Dead (1985)
Q: Is a human just a zombie with more complex systems layered on top of this basic zombie core?
It's an existential question raised by the film, dealing with the value of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.
Day of the Dead (1985)
Q: So my thing has always been post-apocalyptic, the Armageddon, the total destruction, the annihilation of the human species. What do you think?
I like to see destruction and want to see everything go wrong and then people come up with a plan to solve it.
Sideways (2004)
Q: Did you appreciate those trips in the moment or only now looking back?
I relished those moments even at the time because they were formative experiences that shaped various aspects of my life.
Time Bandits (1981)
Q: What prop would you like from Time Bandits?
I found myself looking at so many beautiful props, and for me, I think the coolest would maybe be the King's Crown, or the goggles that the bandits wear.
Time Bandits (1981)
Q: Is Kevin's adventure real or a dream?
Yes and no. He does travel by falling asleep, but I think he really is going to those places.
