"I'm the best there is at what I do and what I do best isn't very nice." In honor of Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters now, we're looking back to the first time Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds played these characters together in a feature film waayyy back in 2009!

"Houses don't kill people. People kill people." Week Two of our 2000s-Era Remakes Spooky-thon is back in full force as we talk the late, great Phillip Baker Hall, the difference between the James Gunn and Zack Snyder takes on DC Comics movies, why this movie is quintessential 2000s horror, and the regrettable use of the IBG horror trope.

This year, we're covering 2000s era horror remakes, starting with this nothing-burger of a movie that somehow stars Idris Elba and James Ransone!

"I want my money back. And I want angels to give it to me… and pixies to count it out… and a gnome or a hobbit or an elf to sleep at the foot of my bed, and have - I just want them all over my backyard. But no matter what happens with any of that, I DO want my money back!" Our Sketch-tember theme month comes to a close as we chat about a quintessentially Tucker movie inspired by a recurring "Mr. Show" sketch and, along the way, discuss our favorite types of cake, our thoughts on John Kricfalusi and the art he inspired, and the storied career of David 'Dave' Koechner!

"Can I get you anything else? Grappa? Wine? Cappuccino? Tickets to a Lakers game? …cheesecake? Double-A batteries? Land in Montana?" Sketch-tember continues as we discuss this disappointing cinematic effort from the famed Canadian sketch comedy troupe! Along the way, we discuss our histories with "The Kids in the Hall," the reason behind this film's signature lack of Dave Foley, which Kid in the Hall makes the best lady, and extended riffs on this release week's box office offerings!

"...are you mocking me?" Sketch-tember continues as we discuss this ill-conceived vehicle for '80s and '90s sketch comedy impressionist icon, Dana Carvey! We talk about the correlation between Carvey and SNL costar Mike Myers's views of comedy, Carvey's spiritual SNL successor, who this movie is actually for, the oeuvre of M. Night Shyamalan, and more deep-cut Indianapolis-area talk!

"Kabukiman sanjo!" With a new Toxic Avenger film on the horizon, we're talking about another Troma superhero who, unlike Toxie, didn't get a series of sequels! And, along the way, we discuss this film's aggressively problematic nature and content, Tucker's frustrations while driving in Indianapolis, our thoughts and histories with Troma films, our thoughts on theatrically-released Looney Tunes films, and Luis Guzmán's status as a "that guy" actor.

"Don't underestimate a straight white man's propensity for violence…" This week, after the release of Freakier Friday in theaters, we're talking about this body swap slasher and, with it, the work of Christopher Landon, the fun of a well-executed genre mashup, this incredibly talented cast, and how nice it is to be reminded about how funny Vince Vaughn can be!

"It's clobberin' time… for REAL!" With Fantastic Four: First Steps on the horizon, we're kicking off a double feature with this unreleased 1994 failed franchise starter featuring a surprisingly expressive rubber mask, a better-than-it-ought-to-be score, and one of the stars of the made-for-TV Not Quite Human film franchise! Join us for a tangent-heavy discussion of this bootleg classic! Having a tough time watching this movie?

"On my world, it means hope." There's a new Superman movie in theaters, so we're answering the important questions! Things like: Does this film even fit our format? Does Zack Snyder understand Superman as a character? What comics does Stephen recommend for the person seeking to understand how Superman fits in a modern context? And wait… this movie was marketed to churches?? Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

"You ever get tired of being wrong?" Nobody wrote any show notes this week, so hi, it's Tucker. This movie is really lame and we barely talk about it. I worked really hard on the last 6 minutes of this episode, so hopefully that bit works for everyone. According to Stephen's bullet points, we talked about Burger King and Jurassic Park, but I don't remember talking about any of that, so who knows. Ok, I love you. Goodbye. Tuck Mugs is about the only thing worth looking at on the internet right now, but if that's not enough for you: * @Disenfranchpod on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/disenfranchpod.bsky.social], Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/Disenfranchpod], and YouTube [https://youtube.com/@disenfranchpod]. * Email us your thoughts or requests to disenfranchpod@gmail.com * Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/disenfranchised/id1531328098] and Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/7zjgBXCixfCyMr59eT1kg6]! * Find Stephen at @ChewyWalrus on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/chewywalrus.bsky.social] and Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/ChewyWalrus]. * Check out Stephen's new podcast with friend of the show Hope Stough - Welles University - on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/welless-university/id1812682642], Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/1gWA2jKtwX4Fci4whXYY8n], or wherever podcasts are sold! * Find Brett at @sus_warlock on Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/sus_warlock]. * Find Tucker at @icenine09 on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/icenine09] and Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/icenine09/] and @tuck_mugs on Instagram [https://instagram.com/tuck_mugs]. * Join our Patreon for exclusive bonus content, including monthly episodes of What Are We Watching? at https://patreon.com/Disenfranchpod

"You can't escape it. It's everywhere… but it's merciful if you do what it says." With a sequel to M3gan coming to theaters, we're discussing this "movie that does not exist" and, along the way, we also chat about our thoughts on AI, puppeteering in Little Shop of Horrors, the Denzel Washington '90s weird cop movie trilogy, television shows that dropped off HARD after their initial season, celebrity interactions on social media, ridiculously long song titles, and SO MUCH MORE!

"It's just a little theistic hysteria, which is nothing." This week, we're feeling the love as we talk about one of Tucker and Stephen's favorite films by one of their favorite filmmakers! We go deep on the careers of Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, and Meg Ryan - this movie's three main stars, the dichotomy of passion vis a vis retirement at a point in an artist's life, and an extended riff on the work and auteurism of the great Joe Dante! Thank you for inviting us inside your bodies week after week.

"Only one thing worse than a dragon: Americans!" With a live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie in theaters this weekend, we're talking about another Gerard Butler vs. dragons movie that ends with something incendiary shot down the mouth of the Alpha Dragon! Along the way, we also stop to discuss Billy Bob Thornton's directorial efforts, why Barry Pepper should have been in this movie, and our go-to jukebox songs!

"Oh, I was just admiring your boots. Did you purchase them locally?" We didn't get to do a Straight Up last week, so we're doing it this week instead and we're doing it in honor of the late, great Val Kilmer! We're using this early-aughts indie drama to discuss Kilmer's filmography and legacy, the highs and lows of director D.J. Caruso's journeyman filmmaking career, and the pros and cons of the wave of independent films in the wake of Quentin Tarantino's ascendancy. Listeners, these are our social media accounts.
