Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings - and have some laughs while doing so.

  • Identical hosts

    3 guys who look exactly the same. Is it even possible for them to get any diversity in opinion. I haven’t listened yet , I am making superficial judgments - but couldn’t help it. May be a better idea to do a show about Ned Kelly.

  • Birdemic

    So for like 10 episodes I thought every time y’all said Birdemic, you were talking about Bird Box.

    Cuz it’s like a pandemic with birds in the title.

    And I laughed to myself every time bc I was like that’s clever and kinda dumb cuz birds are in that for like 10 seconds. It was like my favorite recurring bit.

    Anyway, I’m Steph and I’m a douche and I love this podcast.

  • Glad I found this

    I discovered this show swiping through all the tik tok nonsense and it was the Terminator episode which I find weird that up until now 2023 it’s being reviewed, any who. Been hooked ever since! Every episode cracks me up, great hosts and keep the guest hosts coming. Please don’t change a thing, everything works!!!
