Twister
Imagine running toward a tornado? Who would do such a thing? Helen Hunt and Bil Paxton that's who! They're insane! This movie is insane! I may be insane! Who knows? In any case, join a group of Long Island potatoes as they get together and talk about this insane movie.

In The Line Of Fire
A bunch of idiots talk about the 1993 movie where a John Malkovich dummy is thrown down an elevator shaft and Clint Eastwood harasses Rene Russo. Oh and, spoiler alert, he saves the president too!

The Fugitive
Today’s pod features The Fugitive, a 1993 movie staring Joe Pantoliano. In a tale as old as time a prominent vascular surgeon, Richard Kimble, is framed for the murder of his wife. He didn’t do it but he goes to prison anyway while the real killer goes free! Then he escapes, staying one step…

Cabin Boy
Sometimes a movie comes along that is both genre-defying and era-defining. Cabin Boy is not one of those movies but it’s weird and we love it. A tale of men, the sea, other men and one very special fancy lad who seeks adventure and boy does he find it. “Hey, would you like to buy a monkey?”
-
Grease
Grease was a huge blockbuster movie and it made John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John huge stars and sold millions of tickets. Then the powers that be decided to make Grease 2 - without them! And it sold tickets. And yet I've heard that some people prefer the latter. Those people are insane. Enjoy!

The Surreal Life
Hey! So one day you're cruising down the Sunset Strip three and three quarter sheets to the wind, crawling from the wreckage into another brand new Lambo and the next you're stuck in group home with a bunch of washed up have beens and never wases ... wait is that Flava Flav? No? Then who ... oh...

Journey v Survivor
Have you ever wondered who was better: Journey or Survivor? Yes of course you haven't, you're normal - but believe it or not some people do. And so, for that select few (emphasis on "few") we're attempting to answer this timely issue with our usual wit, wisdom and verbal pyrotechnics ("usual" in...
-
Rocky III
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words ... uh ... ummmm. Okay, fine. First, in Rocky, Rocky overcomes tremendous odds and takes a beating from Apollo Creed losing a split decision and possibly suffering traumatic brain injury. That last bit is mere speculation on my part. In Rocky II, much...
-
King Kong Bundy
A very heartfelt and completely unsolicited tribute from the good folks at WAFTA all about the time they encountered the man, the myth, the mountain of human flesh known to the world as King Kong Bundy.

The Liam Neeson Hour with Brett Butler
Okay, it's not really an hour but you listen dirtbag, you don't know who you're dealing with! Not to worry, we do! FOP (Friend of the Pod and yes I know that defeats the point of using acronyms and this is a really boring digression and I'm truly sorry for that, where was I?)Brett Butler(he...

Doug The Burt Reynolds Expert
When you've got Burt Reynolds(I've heard he originally spelled it "Bert") questions, who you gonna call? Doug McInnis! Who the eff is that? Well, he's just a simple country lawyer, father of five and to be honest, a bit of a rebel. First in his class and last to leave the party. Get it? Works…

Fast Break
This movie is described thusly: "A deli clerk is given the chance to organise (yes, that's how they spelled organize - and by they I mean the Internet) a group of diverse characters into a winning basketball team." It also seems that a deli clerk was given the chance to write a movie script about…

Brett Calls In
Pod pal Brett Butler calls in with his unique take on who really done it in Basic Instinct. He also weighs in on the JFK assassination, Big Foot and whether or not Squid People are real, and if they are, do they actually live on the moon or only use it as a base to launch an attack on earth. All...

Purple Rain
It's a story as old as time. There's a scene see, and it's got a big dog who rules the roost, see! Oh but who's that? Well that, my friend, is the "kid" and he's coming up fast on the outside. He's coming in hot - maybe a little too hot and he's itchin' for a fight. But there's just one little...
-
Just One Of The Guys
Here's the elevator pitch for this one, "Okay, so you know how the kids love Shakespeare, right? So that's a slam dunk, right? So how about taking hot lookin' young lady who's obviously a lady- to the audience anyway-but no one in the movie seems to notice, some unbelievably negligent parents and...
-
Titanic
Will the Titanic survive it's maiden voyage across the iceberg strew North Atlantic? Will the unsinkable ship sink? And if it does how many people can fit on a piece of wood? Will the plucky underdog with a heart of gold win the love of the beautiful yet unhappy bride to be of a rich jerk? And…

Basic Instinct
