We tie a bow around Max Fun Drive 2025 and our “Movies Without Spider-Man” series with (?) Paul Schrader’s (?) magnum opus, Heartbeeps. It’s the classic tale of a guy robot and a girl robot in love and also there’s a bad stand-up comic robot and a mean cop robot and a baby robot and Andy Kaufman does one of the world’s most irritating voices and what the fuck is this thing?

“Movies Without Spider-Man” Max Fun drive continues (please consider supporting our show!) with the thrilling (?) conclusion (??) of the Venom saga — Venom: The Last Dance, the touching story of a boy and the black sentient goo he wears on his body that sometimes eats people’s heads. There’s one more week of Max Fun Drive […]

We start out our special “Films Without Spider-Man” theme month (in honor of Max Fun Drive — please consider supporting our show!) with one of the more ostentatiously-Spider-Man-free films of last year: Kraven the Hunter. C’mon, Kraven, we KNOW you guys know one another–remember that last hunt? Just swallow your pride and phone Spidey to drop by! We’re cravin’ it!

We welcome one of the godfathers of bad movie culture, Harry Medved, of the seminal books “The Fifty Worst Films of All Time” and “The Golden Turkey Awards,” and discuss his PBS show “Locationland” where he and comedian Dana Gould visited the filming sites for Plan 9 From Outer Space! And we also spend a little time talking to Locationland producer Harry Pallenberg about his father’s work with John Boorman on Exorcist II: The Heretic (the Golden Turkeys’ pick for #2 worst movie of all time) and the oft-referenced Zardoz!
