Garbage Day: Midnight Movie Mayhem

Ralph & Nick & Zak will be back soon to continue the fifth season of Garbage Day: Midnight Movie Mayhem, but to tide over anyone who just wants to listen to two of the voices you're used to hearing, we're unearthing a classic episode of Zak's other movie podcast, But Why Do You Like It? in which our own Nick Rice talks to Zak about their mutual love of 1997's Alien: Resurrection and all its goopy glory fun. The 3 fellas will be back soon with brand new episodes, but for now, enjoy an oldie but (very) goodie!

We watched a classic this time, gang. It was technically a box office bomb though. So we had a good excuse. Subjects include influence being the THING in our current culture, whether or not the Glengarry guys are "a type of guy", good movies that are hard to like, resetting Instagram suggested content for your mental health, creation in the age of algorithms, etc.

The fellas have a wonderful time talking about one of the best movies about rollerblading from the year 1993. (We really do though. Favorable reviews from all of us. I know you don't believe this right now, but we loved it.)

The fellas have a brief chat about what they've been up to lately before talking about a quintessentially cult movie called Samurai Cop. A film about a wig.

We're back to end our season very shortly before beginning another one! What are seasons anyway? They're lies. Anyway, we talk about the 1966 Batman film based on the television show of the same name.  You may know the franchise. Personally, we are split on whether or not it's good. Zak and Nick say no. Ralph says hell yes. Who will triumph in this belacose battle of Batmen? Etc. Who cares. Enjoy!   IG: @midnight_moviemayhem

This is a movie about BMX biking! Sort of! We did not like it at all, folks. We do enjoy bikes though. Bikes are neat.   IG: @midnight_moviemayhemPM

We have a little chat about Arnold Schwarzenegger working out and orgasming and orgasming while working out. I'm unclear on it actually. A lot of fluids on this one though. Lotta fluids.   IG: @midnight_moviemayhem

See you in a couple weeks!

We have a chat about 1993's "The Sandlot". We explain why children are inherently vile and untrustworthy creatures, the anatomy of a summer feeling, and why "The Sandlot" is still relevant despite being a movie from 30 years ago which takes place 30 years prior to that...   IG: @midnight_moviemayhem

The fellas talk about Jim Carrey's dark-ish turn as the titular Cable Guy. Topics include physical comedy, personality disorders, and people raised by TV and the internet all acting like knobs.   IG: @midnight_moviemayhem

The boys kick off season 4 with a little chattaroni about the Hulk Hogan/Vince McMahon-penned fever dream "No Holds Barred". Amazingly, no one impersonates JR at any point, even though I'm sure that's what you wanted. "Always leave them wanting more." That's a phrase I made up just now just for this specific situation.   IG: @midnight_moviemayhem

The fellas examine Brandon Lee's iconically goth big break/swan song and have some good things to say about it. Some less good things as well. This is the last episode of the season. Not sure when we'll be back but we will be back, and we have many ideas on how to improve the show. See you then! IG: midnight_moviemayhem

The fellas talk about how incredible Who Framed Roger Rabbit is. Not a lot of negativity on this episode. Is it a cult movie? We don't know. We're not actually good at research. Oops.

Zak returns! We talk about the Raul Julia's last film, the... technically a movie... Street Fighter. It's fun tbh.

Ralph and Nick are joined by special guest Michael Lastname to discuss one of Michael's personal favorites: 1998's dystopian sci-fi film, Dark City. How many movies is it similar to? A lot. Is it still good? We'll tell you, obviously.

Zak is MIA this week. Not the musical artist famous for "Paper Planes" and middle fingering the entire earth at the Super Bowl. He's not here, is what I'm saying. So, we have our friend Matt (resident Verhoeven superfan) come on the show to talk to us about boobs.

The boys consider the classic 'They Live' and ponder the greatness/weirdness that is the team of Roddy Piper and John Carpenter.

The fellas (all three this time) talk about the 1997 creature feature Anaconda. Is it bad? Yes. Is it boring? Also yes. Is the snake... kind of not that snake-ish? That's correct. Also, a thought-provoking "Would You Rather?" near the end of the show.

Zak and Ralph (not Nick) talk about Master Of The Universe, how good Frank Langella is, who should have played He-Man instead of Dolph Lundgren, and what the cow says.   Instagram: @midnight_moviemayhem

The boys (with special guest Alana) talk about Office Space, the humble brilliance of Mike Judge, and the frustrating realities of work, in general.
