DARK CITY (1998)

The boys hop into their hot tub and pop the champagne to celebrate 2022 at the movies. What were some of your favorites?
Merry Christmas! The boys open their presents early and tear into the Disney Star Wars sequels, some of the most divisive movies of the 21st century. What's really amazing is that nobody, ever, has done a podcast about Star Wars.

THE LAST JEDI (2017)
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (2019)
Suit up for 3 awesome movies from director Gareth Evans featuring the bone breaking ballet that is Silat.

Grab your boomstick! For part one of our Halloween month horror special, we are tackling Sam Raimi's seminal trilogy that helped launch him into a web slinging career in Hollywood and turned Bruce Campbell from a skinny Michigander to a masculine Cadillac of men. Spooky season is in full effect and it feels GROOVY.

Evil Dead II (1987)
Army of Darkness (1992)
In honor of Brendan Fraser (don't call it a comeback) the boys, with guest star Adrian of the FanFreaks and Eagle & Wolf podcast, unwrap some of the classics of their youth, as well as a poorly conceived third entry. This was a fun one.

The Mummy Returns (2001)
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
The boys dive into the contentious filmography of The Insane Dane himself, Nicholas Winding Refn! From his surprise smash hit debut, to his triumphant return to the series, to the masterpiece of the third entry. These movies are true Eurotrash Masterpieces!
