He'll save every one of us!! The boys finally cover our favorite 80s HBO mainstay, Flash Gordon. Flash and the gang face off against the glorious villain Ming the Merciless (who could easily take Thanos's lunch money). There's ridiculous special effects, very short Hawk-Men shorts, and a Queen soundtrack that will crush your face. We promise this w…

We're throwing in an extra "episode" this week to fill the hole created by our new release schedule. Shiny new episodes start in a few days, but in the meantime, we humbly ask all y'all to revisit this very special episode in the show's history. A personal favorite of both your hosts, this review of the glorious Superman 2 really represented a turn…

Arnold takes out the intergalactic trash in this jungle epic. Half action movie, half monster movie, Predator laid the groundwork for the modern summer blockbuster (remember them?) There's biceps at every turn and kickass performances from Jesse the Body, Carl Weathers, and just about everyone else. To make things even more fun, super-cool @mollsmu…

Pain don't hurt, but this movie does (in all the best ways). Patrick Swayze's hair stars as the shirtless, chain-smoking philosophy major who beats up a lot of rowdy beer drinkers. And if that wasn't enough, there's Sam Eliot's moustache, Kelly Lynch, Ben Gazarra, and wrestler Terry Funk all in a plot that would make Shakespeare jealous. Plus this …

We're back in the theater this week to take another look at Tron, the much maligned but visionary tale from 1982 Disney. The first film to employ computer generated graphics, this innovative movie paved the way for Jar Jar, Green Lantern, and the Scorpion King. Wait, what? The boys also talk about their other favorite horrible CGI moments and 80s w…

In this week's grumpy nugget episode, the boys present the first in a series of episodes dedicated to the phenomenon of nostalgia and it's impact on modern pop culture. But don't let that pretentious concept fool you, what they're really doing is goofing on all the recent trends ripping off stuff done years ago and claiming it for themselves. And w…

In ancient times, Hollywood made grown up crime thrillers and released them in theaters. I know, right? This week the boys go back revisit an already old Harrison Ford in one of his best, yet least talked about performances as the wrongly accused doctor being pursued by Tommy Lee Jones. An action blockbuster that never needed its plot summarized on…

The boys get soft this week and review a romantic comedy for Valentines and the awkwardness in palpable. Turns out this genre is not as cringe as they were lead to believe. It helps that Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan knock this amazing screenplay out of the park. Fall in love all over again as the boys talk about romance, loss, and Big League Chew for…

Good? No. Bad? Sure, but who cares? The boys open season 4 with one of their most-feared attempts, the fourth installment of Batman. Clooney, Uma, and Arnold serve more cheese than any movie goer should ever have to endure. Most critics think they're super clever ragging on this one. Congratulations you're a genius.

This time were going back 40 years to look at income inequality, racial prejudice, and corporate greed. Thankfully none of these things exist anymore. Aykrord and Murphy rise above a script that shows its age a bit. Plus there's men in gorilla suits and Jamie Lee Curtis! So put your Kool's out on the rug immediately and check this one out.…

Come to the coast, have a few laughs. This week the boys go back to Nakatomi plaza to revisit this classic 80s action original that has somehow morphed into a Christmas movie(?)

You've got Shatner's girdle, the follically-challenged Persis Khambatta (yeah, baby!), and the rest of the original cast for this slow burn but weirdly complete movie. Can a Star Wars fan and a Star Trek fan survive the same podcas…

We take a new, soggy look at this maligned, yet recently redeemed 90s blockbuster. Is it a great movie? No. Is it better than we remember? Also no. Well, maybe. Yes. We cant really decide but we enjoyed revisiting this anyway just to see Costner's earrings and his iconic opening scene.Bởi Grumpy Nostalgia

The accents are wonderfully awful and Keanu's mystery hair makes this one a real joy for the gang. It's extra spooky fun because our Alaskan homesteading warrior queen @mollsmusings …
