• S15 Ep811: Sin City

  “This is a Spike TV movie, right?” - Eric On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets down and dirty for the all-or-nothing days as we chat about Robert Rodriguez’s still totally wild comic translation, Sin City! Thankfully, folks, this movie still looks totally rad! How eerie is Elijah Wood as Kevin? Even with as fun a ride as this is, did we really need to adapt every bit of the Miller sleaze vibes? Will Rodriguez ever get his edge back? How great is Mickey Rourke in this movie? Was having three different musicians do three different scores a good idea? Should the Hartigan story have been cut in two or should the film have been left as the triptych with the Hartnett character as the bookend? PLUS: Kurt Russell and the arctic crew from The Thing all check to see who’s The Thing by doing the asparagus pee test! Sin City stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Tommy Flanagan, Nick Offerman, Marley Shelton, Nick Stahl, Elijah Wood, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, and the late, great Michael Madsen as Bob; directed by Robert Rodriguez. [EDITOR’S NOTE: We recorded this episode on June 18, several weeks before we lost Michael Madsen. The guy was a total legend, a singular performer who gave us so many memorable film appearances that we’ve loved and quoted a ton over the years. We’ll miss the guy, gone way, way too soon. — Andrew] Our three-night, six-show residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival starts THIS FRIDAY, July 18th! We’ll be there through the 20th doing WHM, WLM, Animation Damnation, Gleep Glossary and Nexus shows! The Quantum of Solace and Hellraiser shows are sold out, so don’t wait, snag your tix now, UK! We’ll see you this weekend! Throughout 2025, we’ll be donating 100% of our earnings from our merch shop to the Center for Reproductive Rights.

• S15 Ep810: Beethoven (1992)

  “That image should not be in the movie!” - Chris on the drool shot On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza goes to Family Film Country as we chat about the 90’s dog classic, Beethoven! How much of a knock-off Wet Bandits are Stanley Tucci and Olive Platt in this? Does Grodin’s character think he’s gonna take over the world with this air freshener company? Why is a plot point in this children’s film a dog needing to be shot in the head? And did Beethoven inadvertently save this family from total annihilation? PLUS: Steve recalls a tale of elevator-related horror! Beethoven stars Charles Grodin, Bonnie Hunt, Dean Jones, Nicholle Tom, Christopher Castile, Sarah Rose Karr, Olive Platt, Stanely Tucci, David Duchovny, Patricia Heaton, Laurel Cronin, O-Lan Jones, and Chris the Dog as Beethoven; directed by Brian Levant.

• S15 Ep808: Lucy (2014)

  “The four of us are on a one-way bullet train to Stupid City” - Andrew on covering this movie for the show On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza does indeed head to Stupid City as we’re talking about the really silly, really short, sci-fi thriller, Lucy! How totally great is Choi Min-sik in this movie? Precisely how many seconds is Morgan Freeman standing on-screen? When Lucy gets so smart, why is she still unable to understand and speak multiple languages? With the action and fight choreography being as fun as they are, couldn’t we have gotten more of that and less of Morgan Freeman giving that lecture? And do people at the front desk of a Westin care if you’re going to eat at the hotel restaurant? PLUS: Lucy visits all the best Times Square chain restaurants and attractions!  Lucy stars Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Pilou Asbaek, Lio Tipton, and Choi Min-sik as Mr. Jang; directed by Luc Besson.
