(wait, that describes the podcast too....well, except the monkey cuck part.

Patrick and Dustin dive headfirst into the gloriously unhinged world of Lady Terminator, the 1988 Indonesian action-horror fever dream that answers the age-old question: “What if James Cameron’s cyborg assassin also happened to be a mythical sea queen with an evil eel living in her vagina?”Expect outrageous fashion, laser-eyed stares, dialogue that feels like it was beamed in from another dimension, and more bullets than plot points. We unpack every inexplicable twist, questionable special effect, and legendary one-liner — all while trying to decide if Lady Terminator is a cinematic disaster, a secret masterpiece, or both.

Okay, look, we messed up. Thankskilling 3 wasn't technically a part 3 movie, and Day of the Beast was definitely not a part 3 movie. Now it's time to pay for our mistakes...

It's becoming quite the Christmas tradition to have the Glass Half Full Moon podcast on as guests and this year is no different. After forcing Gabe and Casey to watch three Krampus movies last year, Patrick takes it easy on them this year with an actual good movie! (okay, so it's not a part 3 movie, but it's the holidays, I'm sure no one will notice...)

CHRISTMAS IS HERE! We continue our journey into part 3 movies with nothing but Part 3 Christmas Movies. First up is Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out! Yes, that exclamation mark is part of the title, it really lets you know how EXCITING this movie will be....yup, totally awesome non-stop action here folks...

Gobble Gobble Motherf***ers. It's a Thanksgiving celebration as Patrick decides to have a lovely Friendsgiving dinner...and Dustin decides to crash it and make everyone watch Thankskilling 3. It's got puppets, songs, Star Wars connections, and the Ur-puppet in an episode that is guaranteed to be slightly less unhinged than your family's Thanksgiving dinner.
