Episode 147: 9/11
Well, gang, it's the 25th anniversary of one of the worst tragedies in American history so you know David and Justus are gonna be extra respectful on this one! Or at least they'll be as respectful as Charlie Sheen and Martin Guigui were when they cooked up the misguided 9/11 chamber drama about 4 characters and 1 ill-defined Russian supermodel getting stuck in an elevator. Is this movie as bad as it sounds? Only one way to find out. Time to fasten your seatbelt as we lift off for another episode of The Greatest Movie Ever Made!9/11 (2017) is directed by Martin Guigui and stars Charlie Sheen, Whoopi Goldberg, Gina Gershon, Luis Guzmán and Jacqueline BissetMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Whodunnit? David and Justus, in the podcast studio, with the microphones! That's right, today we're tackling cult classic camp comedy CLUE (1985). David and Justus attempt to give a respectful send-off to the legendary Tim Curry this week, but get sidetracked by a lengthy discussion about the ample cleavage on display in this film. Real classy, fellas!Clue (1985) is directed by Jonathan Lynn and stars Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Episode 144: Over the Top
David and Justus close the casket on the lost episode of THX 1138 and piss on its grave by covering the only movie to mash up trucking, arm-wrestling, a terrible kid performance, and Sylvester Stallone. It’s an 80s film that could only come from the bizarre dream factory of the Cannon Group, and the boys are here to push it to the limit and winner takes it all through every cheesy montage, cliche, and awesomely bad moment from Over The Top! And for real, David hates this kid performance.Over the Top (1987) is directed by Menahem Golan and stars Sylvester Stallone, Robert Loggia, Susan Blakely, Rick Zumwalt, and David MendenhallMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

David's out this week, so Justus has tagged in past guest Audrey Young to fill the host's seat and she brought some thrills and chills with her in the form of the 2007 vampire flick 30 Days of Night! Without David there's 80% less film knowledge and 200% more ADHD rambling, but Justus and Audrey still manage to get into the nitty gritty of this frozen gorefest.

David and Justus are sucking in their guts and smoothing out their wrinkles this week as they dive into the zany horror-comedy cult classic DEATH BECOMES HER! The star-studded cast and wacky body horror is sure to delight the boys, but will they drink the potion that gives this flick eternal life in the hallowed halls of the TGMEM canon?

Episode 135: Dick Tracy
HOO-AH! Al Pacino makes his illustrious debut on The Greatest Movie Ever Made this week in the color-drenched comic book noir DICK TRACY! Warren Beatty's ego knows no bounds as he unleashes a profoundly weird creative vision, complete with a bunch of character actors caked in prosthetics and a smokin' hot Madonna.

Episode 134: Stargate
With the horrors of The Pest safely in the rear view, Justus and David turn their eyes toward the cosmos. The notorious Roland Emmerich has cooked up some wacky sci-fi hijinks with ancient aliens and space Egyptians, and all this will surely make for a better movie than what the boys had to endure last week. Drink seven beers, practice your bad Ray Winstone impression for some reason, and join Kurt Russell and James Spader to discover the wonders beyond the Stargate.Stargate (1994) is directed by Roland Emmerich and stars James Spader, Kurt Russell, Jaye Davidson, Viveca Lindfors, and Alexis CruzMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Episode 133: The Pest
For some unknowable reason, David picked The Pest this week. Hear him regret this decision on-mic and be berated by Justus for forcing this vile undertaking upon the podcast. It's tough to stay on-topic for a movie that your memory is actively attempting to repress as a trauma response, so they take some detours into anecdotes about past drug experiences, and (of course) the criminal history of one Jeffrey Jones. Does this sound like a fun time to you? We can guarantee one thing: it beats watching The Pest!The Pest (1997) is directed by Paul Miller and stars John Leguizamo, Jeffrey Jones, Edoardo Ballerini, Freddy Rodríguez, Tammy Townsend, and Aries Spears.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Episode 130: The Muppet Movie

In space, no one can hear you podcast, and the boys are making their yearly return to the Alien franchise to discuss this divisive third installment.
