It's that time of year again so the guys are joined by Mariah Lirette to talk about another Christmas crapfest. This time, they discuss the insanity of the 1959 Mexican film Santa Claus. Casual racism? Check. Dancing dolls in a nightmare sequence? Check. David Cronenberg-esque cloud castle fortress for Santa? Check... wait what? Santa has TOO MUCH POWER.
We are off for the holidays and will return with a mini-episode on January 8th!

What movies made you take a step back and say... "huh? I just don't get the hype." Guaranteed to enrage you all, the hosts read from listener-submitted haterade for comic book movies, untouchable classics and maybe some genuinely overhyped blockbusters are in there as well? Maybe? Don't hate us.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, it's not December. It's November... and that means GAMERA! This year, the fellas dive in to Gamera vs. Jiger, a movie which is also apparently sponsored by Expo '70 considering all the airtime and stock footage it receives in the film. The guys discuss Gamera and Jiger's sexual encounter, people entering Gamera's body and... you know what, this episode's pretty spicy. Best put the young 'uns to bed.
Next week: don't show that on a plane!

Don't you love sequels? Especially when they make as much sense as Alien Resurrection, a movie that said, "oh no, Ripley burned herself to death and we have to bring her back... I dunno, clones?"

We would usually wait until January but this thing was calling our name and we couldn't resist any longer! The fellas discuss the 2025 version of War of the Worlds starring Ice Cube, a computer and some other actors on the computer. They talk about everything in this Plan 9-esque stinker from the Amazon praise to the idea of one man running Homeland Security to the heavy use of AI, Joe Rogan's Twitter cameo, websites being erased in real-time and so much more!

Rashomon just running the same footage three times? We can’t… but we talk about it! Plus: the reveal of next week’s movie which may have a LOT to do with this week’s topic.

The cringe forced laughter and the refusal to acknowledge that Tony Alva and Christian Hosoi were in the film makes this unbearable to listen too
