741 - Your New Best Friend

 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to watch two movies that couldn't be more different. War Machine is a fun movie for most of its running time, and better enjoyed if you know nothing about it going in. Hoagie is also a fun movie and there's no way it can be spoiled ahead of time because it's just. So. Wtf. Tune in for a non-recommendation, and stay for a sort-of recommendation.

 

713 - Are We There Yet? Week 1 - War of the Hitcher

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to talk about a brand new movie and an old one. The new screenlife War of the Worlds is not good and is kind of exhausting to watch. The original Hitcher, on the other hand, is a weird mix of totally great and totally crummy. Tune in for a video game recommendation and stay for a less enthusiastic X-Files recap.

 

709 - Rewind!

 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM ditch prom movies to catch up on VHS. VHS 85 has some not terrible stuff in it, but a lot of it was clearly made by people who weren't alive in 1985 and VHS Beyond should have just stuck with all alien theme. Tune in for a miserable round of horror trivia, and stay for too much X-Files chat.

 

669 - Shark Month Week 3: Cheap Eats

Not pictured: what actually happens in the movie.

 

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM are joined by Rob Rector to help them digest two low-budget shark movies. Shark Encounters of the Third Kind is terrible in the most confusing and unnecessary way, and Raiders of the Lost Shark appears to have forgotten what it's supposed to be about halfway through. Tune in for a depressing video game review, and stay for an off-brand TV recommendation.

612 - Famke Jansational

This week, Count Vardulon and DM are again joined by Rob Rector to talk about more 90s movies, this time both featuring Famke Janssen. And, both are totally great! Tune in for a video game recommendation, and stay to find out if DM has changed her mind about Blade 2.

604 - Yup

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM spend a lot of time gushing over Nope. Tune in for a  partial movie review and stay to find out if the Count wins an E-Bay auction. 

597 - Moonstravaganza Part 2

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple more movies with "moon" in the title. Moonbase is charming but stops dead at the halfway point, and Moontrap 2 is one of the worst films they've seen in a while. Tune in for a videogame review and stay for weirdly titled list that will inspire next week's episode.

596 - Moontacular Part 1

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch two episodes with the word "moon" in the title. It doesn't go well. While Moontrap has some early 90s (technically 1989) charm, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Moonfall, on the other hand, has very little charm and even less sense. Tune in for a book report and stay for a short chat about the first two episodes of Moon Knight.

559 - Misunderstaliens

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM catch up on some alien movies. Attraction is fairly decent, if a bit too long, and Skylines ties up all the loose ends of Beyond Skyline. Just kidding! It's set years in the future. Tune in for a qualified movie review and stay to hear DM not totally suck at trivia.

541 - Breaking News

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of fictional news broadcasts, one from 1983 and the other from 1994. Everyone agrees Special Bulletin is better than Without Warning, but both are worth watching (especially if you're nostalgic for commercials from the mid-90s). Tune in for a TV review, and stay for a list that doesn't know what's scary and what's good.

521 - Surprise Apocalypses

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of found footage movies about the end of the world, which begs the question, How do they exist? Encounters is, obviously, about aliens with some awesome but underused effects, and Apocalypse Cult is exactly what it says on the box. Tune in for a book report and stay for a back-handed video game recommendation.

508 - Too Deep

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a movie and it's supposed sequel. In truth, Ghost Rig and The Thing Below have nothing in common other than their setting. Tune in for a Simpson's-related "conspiracy" no one cares about, and a discussion about what exactly isolation horror is.

449 - Space Beasts

This week your friends Count Vardulon and DM watch a couple of alien invasion-type movies on Netflix with mixed results. While The Beyond manages to maintain its mockumentary conceit, it doesn't know which story it wants to tell. Extinction is good, even if you know exactly what's going on.

446 - Tenctonese

The box art really oversells the movie.

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM revisit Alien Nation, a movie they both saw when they were kids, and it holds up. More or less. Warner Bros and DC continue to produce quality animated Justice League movies with Justice Leaugue Dark. Tune to hear a crazy theory about a Forensic Files scientist, and stay for a mini-fight about Castle Rock.

408 - The Cthonian

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM return to theme shows by watching two found footage movies. Both of them have good in them, but that goodness is largely overshadowed by bad choices. Tune in to find out what's new in true crime TV, and stay to hear a list that was maybe already addressed on a previous episode.

406 - Phoenix Addenda

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM uncover a huge conspiracy that prevents Canadians from watching a certain movie about a certain unexplained phenomenon. Tune in to find out what you missed at TIFF and stay to hear a rundown of "best" alien abduction movies.

367 - Year Two

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM make good on a promise to cover a movie they talked about back in the summer. Turns out The Phoenix Incident is bad. Like, really bad. Extraordinary Tales, on the other hand, is wonderful and everyone should see it. Click for stuff that only matters to the Count.

366 - Pro-ALF

This week there's television news, movie reviews, and a third thing that rhymes! Join DM and The Count for one movie that disappoints while being great, and another movie that tries for cleverness but is hamstrung by its own stupidity.

Also, check out this new short film from friend of the show A. S. Burns!

351 - Hemsworthy

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM fulfill their promise to finally talk about Independence Day 2 and Ghostbusters. Everyone's in agreement about the former, but opinions are split on the latter. Tune in to find out what's on Netflix, and stay to hear about lazy titles for movies and TV shows.

332 - Intruded

This week, your friends Count Vardulon and DM take a break from movies about intruders and the people being intruded upon to watch Deadpool. And Intruders (1992). Tune in to find out about what others movies not titled Intruders were watched this past week, and stay to hear something equal parts embarrassing and amazing regarding Steven Spielberg.
