    228: Blade: The Iron Cross (2020) & Top 10 Movies Of 1991

    Hey, only one more Charles Band Puppet Master after this. Unless he makes more. Considering he’s alive he may. Charles……outsource this material like you did in 2018. Just stop man.LIWstudios.com

  2. 222

    227: Tusk (2014) vs. Yoga Hosers (2016)

    Let’s do a random Kevin Smith double feature. LIWstudios.com

  3. 221

    226: Michael Mann

    Michael Mann has quietly been one of the best directors. How do we rank his movies? I bet #1 is the same but the rest will vary.LIWstudios.com

  4. 220

    225: The Controdyssey

    At the end of our discussion for Dick Tracy and The Shadow we got joined by a viewer and ended up discussing race in The Odyssey. For some reason it is a controversy. This causes Phoenix to double down on the drinking.LIWstudios.com

  5. 219

    224: Dick Tracy (1990) vs. The Shadow (1994)

    Two comic serials fight tonight. One will lose. One will win. Both will barely be discussed as we go off topic a lot. By the way the AI poster says 1994 for Dick Tracy but it’s 1990. AI is never wrong though.LIWstudios.com

  6. 218

    223: Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) & Top 10 Movies Of 2007

    222: Primer (2004) & Top Ten Movies Of 2022

    We discuss a movie that is barely a movie then we discuss movies from 2022 we didn’t hate.LIWstudios.com

  8. 216

    221: Any Given Sunday (1999)

    A cocaine movie made for steroids. Why edit your sports movie like an experimental movie? Why do so many things here.LIWstudios.com

  9. 215

    220: David Fincher

    Today we are gathered at the altar of Fincher to rank his 12 movies. Which of us has Alien 3 in their top 3? Probably neither but would be fun if we did! LIWstudios.com

  10. 214

    219: Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) vs. High Fidelity (2000) & Widow's Bay Season 1 (2026)

    Today we discuss 2 of the 5 good movies starring John Cusack. Shame on you sir. To be fair, must be hard to read all those scripts when you're living inside a Red Box machine.LIWstudios.com

  11. 213

    218: Puppet Master: Axis Termination (2017)

    In this very special episode of HID, Phoenix finally loses his shit on Charles Band.LIWstudios.com

  12. 212

    217: The Bride! (2026) & Top 10 Movies Of 2010

    Today we will discuss 2010 films; the year of our lord. Oh, we also briefly talk about a movie that exists from 2026. It happened. We can’t say it didn’t.LIWstudios.com

  13. 211

    216: Catch-22 (1970)

    In order to listen to this podcast, you need to be deaf. But you must go deaf from listening to this podcast.LIWstudios.com

  14. 210

    215: Gremlins (1984) vs. Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

    Haven’t seen these in a while so why not watch and compare them? How can two movies be so similar and so different? LIWstudios.com

  15. 209

    214: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

    They used to make kids movies not for kids. It was a glorious time.LIWstudios.com

  16. 208

    213: Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Well Adam didn’t get to see it now that it’s getting interesting. What a shame. Riding worms is super cool.LIWstudios.com

  17. 207

    212: Top 10 Movies Of 2013 & 2011

    We called in an audible to do this instead. Off screen we selected random years to do our top ten movies for. 2013 is up first, followed sometime by 2011. Keep in mind it’s every year movies have existed and randomly it’s 2 years 2 years apart. Math sucks. Which movies will win? Will your stupid favorite movie of 2013 make our lists? Find out and then send hate filled messages to us here!LIWstudios.com
