    Jul 1 2024

    #276 Johnny Handsome
    Jun 24 2024

    The Month of John concludes with Johnny Handsome, a bizarre Walter Hill directed, Mickey Rourke star vehicle where he gets a new face!

    What on earth is this movie? Is Lance Henriksen the king of scuzzy villains? Did he live in New Orleans for like a decade for all these scuzzy NoLa villain turns? Plus, Mickey Rourke is a babe.

    All this and more!

    #275 Johnny Dangerously
    Jun 10 2024

    It's our latest theme month, the month of John, and we're kicking off with the delightful spoof: Johnny Dangerously!

    Amy Heckerling's three classics, spoofing a dead genre, Disney rides teaching us about gangster films, Keaton absolutely killing it, and some real live-action cartoon zaniness!

    #274 Drop Dead Fred
    May 27 2024

    It's the conclusion of I-May-Ginary Friends Month, easily the worst theme month in the history of this podcast!

    We're visiting with Drop Dead Fred and asking a lot of questions, like: WHO IS THIS MOVIE FOR?! WHY ARE IMAGINARY FRIENDS SUCH ASSHOLES? Why is Carrie Fisher so chill about this enormous tragedy that happens!? What's Phoebe Cates arc supposed to be?!

    All this and more!

    #273 Little Monsters (1989)
    May 13 2024

    Boy oh boy, how on earth did I watch this SO much as a kid?

    It's a truly wretched Howie Mandel feature, Little Monsters! Why are the monsters so scary? Why is the underworld lit through 3D glasses? How bad are the Savage bros?

    All this and more!
