We couldn’t get together for a mini this week, but our busy schedule is the listeners’ gain, as we release this full-sized live show from the vault! It’s a flashback to happier times, last July, when people could assemble to live comedy! Here’s our live Hellboy (2019) show from The Parkway theater in Minneapolis, MN!
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in all our years of discussing bad movies, it’s that vanity projects are often the creme de la creme of bizarre and terrible cinema. And hoo doggies, do we have something special for you. Made in 2006, then shelved for nearly a decade before getting quietly dumped to streaming in 2014, writer/director/star Stuart Paul’s magnum opus, Deadly Lessons, is a fantasy self-help (?) thriller (?) that’s impossible to describe, but lord, do we try.
The longtime anchor of the NBC Nightly News drops by to break down the new Dune trailer, and how he left his heart on Arrakis.
After a run of guests, we’re celebrating Smalltember with just family. Because at a time like this, family is important, y’know? Almost as important as a movie where Kelsey Grammer menacingly smokes a cigar while telling a professional wrestler to rob a sky casino. That’s right, we talked about Money Plane. You’re welcome.
Dan asks his co-hosts: do they want to play a game…?
We finally invited the boss over for dinner, so we’d better hide all those staplers we stole! Noted dog lover and the head of Maximum Fun himself, Jesse Thorn, joins us to discuss The Call of the Wild, based on that one book you probably read in middle school.
Stuart explains Warhammer to Dan and Elliott, and everything is 100% cleared up forever and ever.
The star of the show is back! We were SO happy to hang with the delightful and hilarious Hallie Haglund once more. And this time we didn’t force her to discuss some fantasy bullshit she hates! Instead, we all watched what is surely one of the top three movies based on a Wham! song — Last Christmas!
