Episodes

  1. Movie Mastery - Fluppy Dogs (1986)

    A childhood favorite of Jon's but does it hold up now? No, of course not. This was a pilot that never got picked up for a good reason.

  2. Movie Mastery - Street Fighter (2026)

    The return of In Theaters Now with a movie we weren't planning on reviewing but then we got so angry we had to.

  3. Movie Mastery - The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

    RZA's love letter to kung fu movies that mostly suffers by having RZA in it.

  4. Movie Mastery - The Spirit (2008)

    A comic book adaptation that fundamentally doesn't understand its source material or even what makes a movie good.

  5. Movie Mastery - Cat City (1986)

    A Hungarian cartoon about cat gangsters that is so much better than we ever assumed it would be.

  6. Movie Mastery - The Rocketeer (1991)

    For a movie that spent 8 years in development hell, they sure did put out one of the best pulp adventure films around

  7. Movie Mastery - Last Action Hero (1993)

    The meta-commentary on action movies that can't quite decide if it's a parody or a love letter to the genre

  8. Movie Mastery - Boris and Natasha (1992)

    The Rocky and Bullwinkle spinoff movie 30 years later that has none of the charm or humor of the original show

  9. Movie Mastery - Our Drawings (2023)

    An incomprehensible mess of low grade animation that barely has a plot and constantly changes what its own premise is

  10. Movie Mastery - Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)

    A classic of the bad movie genre that only got made because someone had a mechanical dinosaur available for a month

  11. Movie Mastery - Bloodrunners (2017)

    Prohibition era vampires running bootleg blood using a speakeasy as a cover is a great idea but unfortunately this movie was made for None Dollars that all went into hiring Ice-T

  12. Movie Mastery - Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong (2013)

    A crossover movie that is entirely coasting on the title and the knowledge that some people will watch literally anything to do with weed

  13. Movie Mastery - Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)

    Pia Zadora falls in love with an alien musician in this sci-fi/musical/comedy B-movie mash-up

  14. Movie Mastery - Push (2009)

    A film that feels like an RPG with a bunch of psychics fighting a secret government agency

  15. Movie Mastery - Gandahar (1987)

    A psychedelic 70's animated film for adults that somehow got made in the late 80's because of the French

  16. Movie Mastery - Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984)

    Journey back to the forest moon of Endor, where magic is real, the Force isn't a thing, and the 12 year olds are the absolute worst.

  17. Movie Mastery - Alpha and Omega (2010)

    An animated movie about wolf romance that has some weird ideas about what being an Omega wolf means (no not like that you internet perverts)

  18. Movie Mastery - Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)

    A feature that mashes up samurai films, mafia movies, and hip hop into something you are either going to vibe with or not

  19. Movie Mastery - Mako: The Jaws of Death (1976)

    A diver with a magic amulet that gives him a psychic connection to sharks must battle against Florida's most cacklingly stupid villains that just love abusing sharks.

    The unholy combination of The Little Rascals and Free Willy brought to by the same studio behind The Pest.

  21. Movie Mastery - Drum (1976)

    The sequel to Mandingo that has nothing to do with that movie and everything to do with being terrible

    Based on the book by L. Frank Baum, this animated movie shows the true story of Santa being raised by fairies and menaced by evil rock monsters.

  23. Movie Mastery - Remote (1993)

    Home Alone meets Toys if those movies had no budget, or talent, or ideas

  24. Movie Mastery - Message From Space (1978)

    A Star Wars knock-off from Japan that is bad but not in a fun, campy way but a boring, 70's way

  25. Movie Mastery - Fright Night (1985)

    We look at the original Fright Night, a classic 80's horror movie where everyone is kind of a goober and there's a vampire named Jerry.

  26. Movie Mastery - Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)

    The last one of these movies to actually have Doug Bradley as Pinhead and the first starring role for Henry Cavill. Also, an absolute turd!

  27. Movie Mastery - Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)

    Jamie Kennedy does a movie where, get this, a white guy acts like a stereotype of a black gangster. Oh ho ho. How absolutely hilarious. What will they think of next?

  28. Movie Mastery - Guyver: Dark Hero (1994)

    A lower budget sequel to the American live action movie based on the Japanese manga that tries to be more dark and gritty and is mostly more boring

  29. Movie Mastery - Crossroads (2002)

    Britney Spears gets everything she's ever wanted while her friends' lives crumble around her. Woo! Fun road trip!

  30. Movie Mastery - Magic Mike (2012)

    The raw charisma and undeniable talent of Channing Tatum can only do so much to save this mostly forgettable movie

  31. Movie Mastery - Gleaming the Cube (1989)

    A totally radical skateboarding movie that has very little to do with skateboarding and a lot to do with Vietnamese crime drama

  32. Movie Mastery - Satellite Girl and Milk Cow (2014)

    A movie with an absolutely bananas concept that squanders it on mostly being about how boring, crappy dudes are good actually

  33. Movie Mastery - Outlaw Prophet (2001)

    A sci-fi movie that is incomprehensibly religious and religiously incomprehensible.

  34. Movie Mastery - Carpool (1996)

    From a hotel room in Wisconsin, we drag James into our muck and watch a Tom Arnold film that is extremely Tom Arnold

  35. Movie Mastery - Sexy Evil Genius (2013)

    Buffy, BSG, and Lost collide in a bar with a Baldwin and what happens is, you know, fine.

  36. Movie Mastery - Battlefield Earth (2000)

    It's taken a while but we finally have gotten to the movie that every bad movie podcast has to talk about eventually.

  37. Movie Mastery - The Astrologer (1976)

    Another Astrologer? That's right, it's the other movie from 1975 with this name and probably the one we were supposed to watch initially.

  38. Movie Mastery - The Astrologer (1975)

    We might have ended up watching the wrong The Astrologer from 1975 since there are two bad movies of that name from that year. This one is 90% dialogue!

  39. Movie Mastery - Van Helsing (2004)

    Wolverine fights the Duke from Moulin Rouge in a movie that sucks so bad and yet is a spectacle of absolute joy to watch.

  40. Movie Mastery - Robin and the Dreamweavers (2000)

    The maker of He-Man and Fat Albert decided to make an adult cartoon movie about fighting the personification of internet porn addiction as a pitch for a show that I can't imagine being sold to literally any television company.

  41. Movie Mastery - Sex and the City 2 (2010)

    Having never seen a full episode of the show, this movie is possibly the worst way to be introduced to the property. It's just rich white people complaining and being awful but not in a fun way like Arrested Development.

  42. Movie Mastery - Roller Blade (1986)

    From the guy that brought us Baby Ghost, comes a movie that is just about the same level of quality but way more nudity, knives, and n-roller skates.

  43. Movie Mastery - The Beastmaster (1982)

    A bog standard barbarian plot that gets just enough spice from the animal telepathy stuff to be kind of worth watching

  44. Movie Mastery - Kraven the Hunter (2024)

    We return to the theaters to complete our grim duty of bearing witness to the slow and tragic mutilation of everything Spider-Man related that Sony shoves into the grinder.

  45. Movie Mastery - Ocean Drive Weekend (1985)

    A listener's recently deceased dad worked on this movie but don't worry, they just did director of photography so they aren't fully to blame for this turd of a 60's nostalgia movie.

  46. Movie Mastery - Dragon Storm (2004)

    Sci-Fi Channel trying to cash in on Reign of Fire of all things spent a million dollars on this with almost all of that going to the cost of dragon effects and pyrotechnics and none of it to lighting or sound equipment.

  47. Movie Mastery - Runaway Nightmare (1982)

    This 70's movie that took so long to edit that it came out in the 80's has no redeeming factors. A comedy without humor. An exploitation film without anything risqué. Grainy sound and fuzzy images that serve no purpose.

  48. Movie Mastery - The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue (1998)

    Special guest Taylor Moore joins us to discuss an animated film that truly nobody asked for and that wastes an all star voice cast on the most direct-to-video sequel you could imagine.

  49. Movie Mastery - Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter CottonHell

    This is a movie that almost certainly stemmed from finding a weird rabbit marionette and then "writing" a "script" to use it.

  50. Movie Mastery - Slotherhouse (2023)

    A horror comedy that forgets it's supposed to be comedic until about the last 10 minutes of the movie. At least the sloth puppet is kinda fun.
