In 1992 a sequel to a huge holiday hit just needed to change the villains method of thievery from wet to sticky. Ignore the above description of HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK... we assure you that this is a family friendly film. Presumably certified as such by existing on the Disney+ platform until the end of time. On this episode we discuss sequels essentially serving as a remake by doing a cinematic version of jumping the shark in a very special vacation episode where Macaulay Culkin travels to New York to meet up with his old punching bags Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Along the way all three are disgusted by a lady covered in bird poop. Happy holidays!

In 1990 moviegoers learned how to call a small child "incompetent" in French. And then the world would know Kevin McCallister's wrath... or at the very least Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern who got a bit too handsy with Christmas goods. Among other crimes. On this episode one host looks upon with horror as he continues to procreate while the childless host looks on in equal horror at what he's done. Then we enjoy a holiday classic with the Chris Columbus directed original in the HOME ALONE cinematic universe.

It's 2021 and there's a new cut of JUSTICE LEAGUE and a new SUICIDE SQUAD... ...so everyone must be happy, right? WRONG says Dave of YOUR LIST, MY COMMAND. However his co-host Derek (of the much better THE GRAND GESTURE podcast) calls ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE "better than my own child." Which extreme opinion do you fancy? Find out by listening to an awful lot of debate over funny books on film in our episode on the two Justice Leagues.

It's a fight to the death between two Mortal Kombat movies that are not Annihilation. For an episode on video game movies we have to bring on a real dork in Jared of SOBER CINEMA. As he speaks with us from the comfort of his gaming chair some important matters discussed in the world of MORTAL KOMBAT: Is using Liu Kang poor form among friends? How about selecting him as your champion to wield against people you despise? Such as maybe a coworker who is an animal and plays with Reptile? Also we get around to discussing the first feature film adaptation from 1995 and the new HBO Max joint. Because Liu Kang needs no defending.

David Giannini has unfortunately started a new podcast called OFF SCREEN DEATH. That's bad. But his co-host is the co-host of this show, Mike Denniston. That's good. However as part of the promotional tour for OFF SCREEN DEATH (that's the name of the new movie podcast that is half good and half bad) Dave is the guest on this episode for THE APARTMENT and WICKER PARK. That's bad. But the episode is good. We promise. We make fun of Josh Hartnett's hair, Matthew Lillard's face and feud over rights to love Rose Byrne all before Mike starts talking about large breasts in French cinema. It's more good than bad.

Jairo of MARK AS PLAYED joins the show to suggest that while Ralph Fiennes is no body builder... his version of a serial killer is still "a touch on the sexy side." This is just the beginning of disagreement as Mike defends the honor of ORIGINAL REMAKE by siding with Michael Mann's version of this Hannibal Lector adjacent story in MANHUNTER and our idiot guest sides with Brett Ratner. Not just RED DRAGON but Brett Ratner. And that's not even mentioning the tiger penis sequence... though our guest does. Repeatedly. Enjoy!

We take Charlize Theron in any form... even as a cartoon. We can't say the same for Nick Kroll in this version of THE ADDAMS FAMILY from 2019.

Getting yourself in the mood for the Halloween season is easy if one tries to emulate the passion shared between Raul Julia and Angelica Huston's respective versions of Gomez and Morticia Addams. And while one host was really into the attacking of Christmas carolers and sword-fighting sunshine that dares to enter the marital bed of this great couple... the other was glad that the filmmakers decided to cut away before that passion went too far. But there is no cutting away on Original Remake. Enjoy a month of THE ADDAMS FAMILY as we begin with the 1991 feature film adaptation!

We conclude the "I Know What You Did.." series with the sequel to the 1997 hit and talk about the problematic Jack Black and more of Jennifer Love Hewitt. And like many sequels that get rushed after the success of the first installment, does this one suffer like many of those do?

In one of the worst movies ever reviewed on this podcast, we attempted to find positive things to talk about in a sequel no one asked for. With a decent idea with a twist on a retelling of the 1997 film I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (1997), this installment failed to present anything in the franchise worthy of digging back up.

In preparation for a holiday weekend of no traveling we attempt to comfort you with some scary tales passed down from the 1998 film URBAN LEGEND. Perhaps the one about the killer waiting in the backseat of the car. Or the scratching sound coming from outside the car on Lover's Lane. Even the one about Tara Reid's career. Truly terrifying. All of this and some love for the great thespians coming out of the even greater state of Kentucky in our latest episode!

As we wind down the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad summer of 2020 why not make ourselves feel better by at least NOT being stalked by a smelly fisherman with a hook? To make this even more appealing we spend perhaps an unhealthy amount of time talking about Ryan Phillippe's butt, Jennifer Love Hewitt's chest and our complete lack of trust in Freddie Prinze Jr. to do a hard day's work. But he did marry Buffy! All of this is to say watching I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER was a better time than a pandemic summer. Even if everyone smells of fish.

In which our hosts agree that Hilary Swank could beat us all up (especially those ANIMAL CROSSING player DORKS) but we can't agree with this franchise going into bowling comedy. Alas this attempt to reboot THE KARATE KID succeeds mostly with comedy of the unintentional variety, which is where both Michael Ironside and ORIGINAL REMAKE come in. Enjoy!
