The Franchise

Tim Ahlin's back for more Muniz Month, as we discuss his very horny foray into the spy genre. This week on The Franchise, Hilary Duff's mom pulls off a coup d'etat. 

Shut Up Tim Ahlin is back to discuss Blue Giamatti and a remake masquerading as a sequel. Welcome to Muniz (slash Dan Schneider I guess?) Month.

Matty joins Daniel to catch up with a tiresome new Mortal Kombat entry and the occasionally delightful new Toy Story. Bonus interview with Fiona Smyth and Zoey Smyth, Daniel's twin nieces.

The great Matty Ragz finally makes his first main show appearance to discuss the last two Renny Harlin Strangers movies starring that girl from Riverdale. 

Daniel and Tim discuss such worthy topics as Chili Palmer's catchphrases and late-career Aerosmith. Plus, Henry texts in!

Shut Up Timmy-Boy Ahlin joins the pod to discuss all things Looney and Roundball. More discussion of the Serververse than you ever could have dreamed of. 

I forgot to make jokes about how Michael Douglas got cancer from eating too much pussy, so here it is in the ep description. Also, we rank the films of Oliver Stone.

Eric and Daniel discuss the final film in the Porky's trilogy and also head on over to 2009 to discuss an attempted reboot of this all-important IP. Eric also watches Hollywood Zap, the fabled Porky's 4. 

Guest host Eric Nelson joins Daniel to discuss a formative work of sex comedy by visionary (baby) genius Bob Clark.

We talk about the emotional effectiveness of dildo-based comedy. Have a summah everyone. 

Daniel and Nathaniel are back to discuss the final Kirk Cameron rapture movie, its big studio remake with Nicolas Cage and a weird, desperate attempt by Kevin Sorbo to use the rapture to complain about Covid restrictions. 

Daniel and Nathaniel venture forth into the world of Christian cinema with the Kirk Cameron rapture classics, Left Behind and Left Behind 2. Madness ensues.

Guest host Nathaniel Safren joins Daniel to kick off a new era of the Franch and pretty much shit all over the new Avatar movie.

end of an era

In which Daniel finally gets to unleash all the strange affection he has for 1993's live action Mario movie and Logan gets to watch it for the very first time. Then, the boys prepare for the Galaxy movie with a discussion of the first Illumination animated film. 

You won't find any radio silence here. Just lots of discussion about the film collective Radio Silence! And especially about their newly franchised Ready or Not films. Logan and Daniel went to the movies this week on The Franchise.
