Do the Sabres take Cole Eiserman?
The 2nd Blades and Breakdowns episode takes about those available for the Buffalo Sabres at the upcoming draft or how they could trade the 11th pick. Ben also takes about Wage War’s latest album and if it is bad as what is being said online.
Twilight (2008)
Hold on tight, spider monkeys! Ben and Doug sink their teeth into the first Twilight film from 2008. Is this movie filled with the blood of a cinematic classic, or is it as dry as a 104-year-old bat turd?
Blades and Breakdowns: Hockey and Metal
Introductory episode to the Blades of Breakdowns segment, part of the Uneducated Critics podcast, where Ben discusses hot topics in Buffalo Sabres Hockey as well as other current hockey topics while also talking some heavy metal, reviewing the latest Knocked Loose album.
Going Overboard (1989)- Starring Adam Sandler
Ben & Doug are back and better than ever! But the movies are also back, and worse than ever. The guys have gone overboard by reviewing a film that make you over-bored. It's "Going Overboard", the first starring role from the great Adam Sandler (who unfortunately he was not so great here).
UHF (1989)- Starring “Weird Al” Yankovic
After a long absence, Ben & Doug have decided to talk about a good movie! It's the first and only movie starring the master of parody himself, "Weird Al" Yankovic. Grab your twinkie wiener sandwich, crank on the UHF dial on your CRT television, and join us as we dive into this lovely yet odd classic.
Chairman of the Board (1998) - Starring Carrot Top
Carrot Top has Carrot Top billing, oh no! We tackle the very odd comedy starring the very odd prop comedian. Is this movie for kids? Is it for adults? Is it for space aliens? We're not entirely sure. Join us with special guests Kevin and Paul from the 'Reset & Rewind' Podcast.
Hercules in New York (1970) - Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger
Before he hunted predators! Before he hunted Sarah Connor! Even before his days hunting as a barbarian! He hunted men in bear suits! Join Ben and Doug as they talk about Arnold’s first film about the demigod who travels to New York because he’s bored. How does this movie hold up? Can the strength of Hercules hold this film up? We only have one answer to that question. “I’m Hercules.”
No Holds Barred (1989) - Starring Hulk Hogan
What's that smell? It smells like a professional wrestler's attempt at ditching the big gold belt to pursue a little gold statuette. The Hulkster had faced many opponents in the ring, but in 1989, he was about to face something much worse.... film critics! Will this film be regarded as the heavyweight champion of the world, or is this a just a big ol' pile of d-d-d-d-d-d-doooooookie!
Kazaam (1996)- Starring Shaquille O'Neal
He’s one of the most dominant men in the history of basketball. It’s obvious he has the skills when he’s on the court, but what about the skills when it comes to portraying a rapping genie? Let’s find out!
