We’ve got romantic brain injuries, animated earworms, surprisingly resilient children, aged aviators, hijacking hijinx, forgotten comedic oddities and dinosaurs!

Turns out paradise ain’t all it’s cracked up to be… I need a vacation from my vacation movies…

The Fest:50 First Dates (2004)Moana (2016)The Blue Lagoon (1980)Six Days Seven Nights (1998)Deep Rising (1998)Volunteers (1985)Jurassic Park (1993)

* Up in Smoke (1978)

* Dazed and Confused (1993)

* Half Baked (1998)

* Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)

* Grandma’s Boy (2006)

* Pineapple Express (2008)

Join me as I lose track of time, continuity, plot points and sanity by watching all 10 Friday the 13th/Jason movies in a week… and then spending another week trying to distill them into less than ten hours of scathing review!

I need to watch something good now… where’s my copy of Ishtar?

This time, in honor of St. Valentine or something, I subjected myself to eight RomComs from the 90s (+/- a couple years) all starring Meg Ryan.

So tune in to hear the most romantic man on the internet explain love as only a middle-aged loner can…

A quick note, I forget to mention it in the cast but Nora Ephron (director of two of these flicks) wrote When Harry Met Sally… It’s a worthy fact.

This week’s line-up:

* Joe Versus the Volcano (1990)

* Sleepless In Seattle (1993)

* You’ve Got Mail (1998)

* Kate and Leopold (2001)

* Innerspace (1987)

* IQ (1994)

* Addicted to Love (1997)

* When Harry Met Sally (1989)

A few months back the crew and I sat down to watch one of our favorite underdog flicks, Scott Glosserman’s quasi-mockumentary slasher Behind the Mask. We mixed it up a bit, adding a FOURTH voice to the cast, which was good fun but made this a real pain to put together… forgive any echo I couldn’t scrape out, I did my best.

Strap in for almost two hours of four idiots talking about alternate realities, slasher tropes, determinism, and the ethics of homicide as a hobby!

As always, this episode was brought to you by whiskey.

With help from a co-hosting elf, who made a list I should have checked twice, I binged twenty Christmas movies to destroy my mental stability and rant about for your amusement… some of them weren’t the worst things I’ve ever watched!

There are about 294,231,458 schlocky holiday flicks out there, so if this is entertaining to anyone I may subject myself to this again for your enjoyment next season!

In the meantime, have a listen as I tackle some 80s comedy classics, some sewage culled directly from the butthole of an angry angry spirit, and some mediocre romantic comedies made to go directly to streaming! Also, I watched some musical special by a singer I’ve never heard of…

Check it out, to make this misery worthwhile!

This time we go back to the cold isolation of a research station from the 80s, wander some dangerous trails, play with kittens, spotlight three Italian directors, have a wild ride with Jennifer Connelly, and get stalked by killers.

Some real weird in this batch.

Thanks again to Ned Wolpert for our intro music!

This episode is brought to you by the rest of the whiskey from last time.

If you don’t know from Alien, welcome to the surface world. I bet it’s scary out here, but there’s more room than under that rock you’ve been hiding beneath.

While space is silent, we decided our podcast intro shouldn’t be, so special thanks to Ned Wolpert for our new musical lead-in!

This episode is, as usual, brought to you by whiskey.

Come for the confusion, stay for the increasing levels of rambling as our minds melt trying to figure this one out.

This episode is brought to you by the Wild Goose Lodge, the safest resort in Indian Legend State Park... and whiskey. Always whiskey.

I should ALSO have called in some help on the audio setup, but we had three people on one mic... forgive us.
