Troy and Roger dive deep into the dark and suspenseful world of 1997's The Relic. Join the guys as they unravel the mysteries lurking in the iconic Chicago Field Museum, spotlight the jaw-dropping creature design, and explore the intense clash between science and superstition. From the chaos of a high-society gala turned deadly to the gripping character dynamics, Troy and Roger break down the film’s most unforgettable moments-inlcuding some unfortunate CGI-, its chilling and intense atmosphere, and what makes The Relic a standout in the monster movie genre.

Grab your tiara and get cozy with Troy and Roger as they dive into 1991’s super obscure flick Beauty Queen Butcher, a campy mess that somehow manages to be endearing and tackle serious issues like body image and beauty standards. The guys discuss the film’s many flaws, from its agonizingly slow beauty pageant scene to its awkward character arcs — especially protagonist Phyllis’s transformation from outcast to vengeful killer. They also touch on the film’s dark humor, its surprisingly low body count, and the strange lack of violence. But let’s be real: this episode is all about Betty Prunish, a character that needs more recognition for being the icon that she is! Beauty Queen Butcher may be offensive, absurd, and a little nostalgic, but one thing’s for sure — it certainly leaves an impression!

Grab your scorebook and prepare for a wild ride as Troy and Roger dive into one of cinema's most unexpected sequels: Katt Shae’s totally ’90s gem, The Rage: Carrie 2. Join the guys as they navigate the intricacies of a mother-daughter relationship that’s about as developed as a high school group project, tackle the ultra-realistic world of high school slut-shaming, and raise an eyebrow at the disturbingly chill security at Antrum Mental Institution—seriously, do they even have a security guard?! Oh, and let’s not forget the shoehorned-in Sue Snell—because every sequel needs a cameo from the past, right?

We come to this place for magic, and what’s more magical than a breathy-voiced Nicole Kidman going up against alien spores with nothing but a handgun and a montage of unexpected high paced action sequences? Nothing, friends. The answer is nothing! Ok, well… a lot. Still, when you’re talking about an overlooked and relatively obscure mid-2000’s attempt at action-horror film such as 2007’s The Invasion, there’s plenty of nonsense for Troy and Roger to discuss! From a charming, yet severely underutilized Daniel Craig, to an even more underutilized blink and you’ll miss her appearance from a young Malin Akerman, to a surprise cameo appearance from none other than Nicole Kidman's nipples clear as day through a white T-shirt, how could these gays resist taking off on yet another out of this world review for this week’s episode!
