Motion Picture Meltdown
by Stephen "The Roast" Rosenberg, Phil "The Kill" Collins, Cheats "The Streets" McGee, DeHart, 76th Street Network, unitedcypher.com
Motion Picture Meltdown is a comedic movie podcast that was created in 2009 and is hosted by Stephen "The Roast" Rosenberg, Phil "The Kill" Collins, Cheats "The Streets" McGee, and DeHart. We spend our valuable time watching the most terrible movies possible, and ripping them apart scene by scene. We do this simply for fun. If you get offended easily, I would not recommend listening to the podcast, if you love crude, senseless humor, then by all means, check us out! Most of the time we invite special guests (our friends that love/hate these movies) to chat along with us on the show.We also strive to contact celebrities about their awful performances, and get them on the show as well.
