Grab your Coca-Cola and Skittles, because in this episode we explore the 1988 film and product placement powerhouse, Mac and Me. In this film, a boy named Eric befriends a mysterious visitor from beyond the stars. The federal government is after Eric's new alien friend, but will Eric, his brother, and their motley crew of neighborhood kids be able to keep Mac's whereabouts under raps? If you think this sounds like a familiar plot, you would be correct. Listen as we take a deep dive into the world of Mac and Me and ask, is it a cash grab?

Grab a plate of lutefisk and hold on to your Lutheran Sisterhood Gun Club membership card as we discuss the 1999 film Drop Dead Gorgeous, a mockumentary about a rural Minnesota beauty pageant that turns deadly (think Waiting for Guffman meets Heathers). This film features an ensemble cast of very funny women and is chocked full of classic lines (like "Jesus loves winners"). We ask the question: was this movie a genuine attempt at art, or just a soulless cash grab?

Let us pause to give thanks that Lifetime recently released 'Deadly Mile High Club' - an awkwardly constructed "sexy thriller" that asks the ultimate question: can a pink fedora actually drive a movie plot?

G'day, mates! In this episode we're heading down under to discuss the somewhat wholesome, somewhat beleaguering zombie movie Little Monsters. A schoolteacher named Audrey Caroline (played by Lupita Nyong'o) takes her class for a field trip to a local farm, which happens to be located next door to a US Army biological testing facility. When the zombies show up, Ms. Caroline has to ward off the undead, while also maintaining calm control over a group of kindergartners (along with a couple of hapless man-children). We ask the question, is Little Monsters a genuine attempt at art, or a rotten, bloated, decaying cash grab?

In this episode we review a zombie movie that defies all reason: the acting is atrocious, the camerawork is awful, the plot is nonsensical, each of the characters are a combination of racist, misogynistic, or in some other way bigoted, and the zombies feel like they were an afterthought, tacked on in the third act. However, for all that is wrong with Victor McGlothlin's Texas Voodoo Zombies, we found this to be one of the most entertaining movies we've watched in a while. Join us as we attempt to unravel this wonderful, terrible, enigmatic masterpiece and ask the question: was this a cash grab?

Grab a meat pie and get comfy as we explore one of the most unusual films to come out of 2018. Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies (or as we have come to regard it: Kudzu Zombies) is an independent horror film that begs the question: what would happen if a toxic herbicide found its way to humans by way of consuming goat meat? Lonnie and his ragtag group of friends have to fight to stay alive in this low-rent zombie tale that seems strangely ahead of its time. But the question remains: is this film a cash grab?

Tracers, a film that begs the question: "What if you wanted to make a Fast and Furious movie...but you didn't have any money?"

Finally, a new episode with Rachel, Josh, and Trae! After a few technical issues we are back together even if we aren't all in the studio. The Darkest Minds; is this the YA book that Hollywood finally gets right? It has Amandla Stenberg, kids taking control of their futures, Mandy Moore, and an award winning director; so what's not to like?! Listen with us as we decide if this 2018 film was the best YA adaptation yet.

Howdy, y'all! In this episode we took a gander at Adam Sandler's 2015 direct-to-Netflix western "comedy" The Ridiculous 6. Featuring culturally insensitive racial stereotypes, a cacophony of jokes that consistently fall flat, and a donkey with explosive diarrhea. This movie begs the question: was this an earnest attempt at making art, or a shameless cash grab? This episode is our fall-back for having technical issues recording a new episode on the 1970's Chrysler sales team informational film Selling Cars to Women (https://youtu.be/D_udf-YwUFg) which we mention in the introduction. We beg you to view this master class on selling cars before Chrysler tries to scrub it from the internet.

What's better than a sci-fi comedy starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? Not sure, but it certainly isn't the sequel.

Goodness Glaciers! In this episode, Trae brings us a relic from his childhood; a film that drove the final nail in the coffin of Don Bluth Productions: The Pebble and the Penguin. Was this hurriedly-animated, poorly-scored animated musical a genuine attempt at art, or just a soulless cash grab?

Join us for an uncomfortable blast to the past as we unravel the unseemly sexual politics of this 1992 romantic comedy. World-famous mega movie star Tate Donovan and lesser-known independent film darling Sandra Bullock star as nerdy biochemists who happen upon the recipe for sex appeal. Throwing scientific ethics out the door and playing fast and loose with the concept of consent, the two set out on a crisscrossing series of sexual adventures. This film is clearly problematic from jump street...and begs the question: why did Josh watch this so frequently as a tween? ... but is it a cash grab?

In this episode, we feature the longest Marvel Minute yet, and explain what the Marvel Minute is! Join us as we discuss the ill-fated 1994 Roger Corman cult classic The Fantastic Four; the only completed film in the Roger Corman catalog that never received a proper release. Was this simply a cheap knock-off of a superhero movie so that 20th Century Fox could retain intellectual property rights, or was this a true attempt at artistic expression?

In an era where "mead" is actually hot chocolate, public schoolteachers reside in mansions(finally), and everything looks like the kind of winter wonderland/nightmarish hellscape that only the perpetual Christmas media giant Hallmark can rival -- there lives a flimsy premise. That's right; this episode is about the 2019 Netflix Original holiday film The Knight Before Christmas. Listen as we discuss the myriad plot holes, Netflix's cannibalistic product placement, and a variety of movie spin-off ideas that could have easily been borne out of the film's atrocious plot. Enjoy!
