  • I DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE!! Join us as we finally review one of the most cherished football/high school movies of the 90s. Is Coach Kilmer one of the most evil characters of all-time? Is this peak Scott Caan? This movie that taught us all that having a pig as pet is the perfect accessory for the overweight funny guy, stealing a cop car is ok if you are football player, all dads in Texas are living in the past and that reading Kurt Vonnegut means you are smart. We are of course talking about 1999’s Varsity Blues

  • And just like that, May of Swayz(e): Uncaged is over. Join us as we bid a fond farewell to Nic Cage and his iconic appearance in National Treasure. Is this one of the only movies that Sean Bean’s character doesn’t die in? Did this movie possibly reinvigorate the adventure/treasure hunt movie genre and maybe even normalize conspiracy theories? Why didn’t someone step in to tell the Gates’ family that they weren’t very good at treasure hunting?

  • As we say goodbye to Patrick Swayze for his last film in May Of Swayz(e) UnCaged, we see the actor a part of an incredible ensemble of a “who’s who” of the 80s Brat Pack.

  • May of Swayz: Uncaged continues with a movie that absolutely shot Patrick Swayze into super stardom! This movie won an Oscar and was the first movie to sell over 1million copies on VHS but is it as good as we remember it? Is Johnny one of the worst characters ever? Why did they decide to randomly add 80s songs into a movie taking place in the 60s? Is this REALLY the plot that they came up with? Join us as we give ‘Dirty Dancing’ a modern-day review

  • Bio-Dome holds a special place in many of our hearts because of the joy and laughter that it brought us when we were younger, but the critics and general public really seem to think that this is a BAD movie. Why was it so enticing to us as kids? What does ‘If you were Yogurt, would you be fruit at the bottom or stirred mean? Could they have hired a better sidekick than Stephan Baldwin? Was Pauly Shore just phoning it in on set? We dive into all of this and so much more, enjoy!

  • Nickelodeon was an important part of all of our childhoods. A reliable ‘friend’ that was always there for us. The impact that this tv studio had on our lives with the incredible lineup of shows and cartoons can not be denied.  Unfortunately, much of it’s legacy has been tarnished by the recent documentary called, “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” In an effort to go back to the mini-byte days, we start this brunch off with the history of Nickelodeon, followed by some discussion of all of our favorite shows. Then we dive into the disturbing documentary.
