Broke Box Office

Come enjoy some great action and not much else as we discuss the 2015 low budget 85 minute stunt reel Close Range. And just like we always say, it doesn't get much closer range than a knife to the taint.

Apologies to anyone who watched Devil Hunter (1980).

We pick our favorite movies of the first 150 episodes, except this time our lists won't be 90% the same things!

We're easing back into things this week by talking about a movie we already know we like, the 2016 action comedy period piece classic Free Fire. Someone from Boston please tell us if our Boston accents are good.

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Cliffmas!

Here's one from the vault you can listen to if you want to hear our thoughts on the state of this mobile game from about 2 months ago. Also our good friend Wilson joins us again from his podcast Reel Phonies (https://reelphonies.com) where they talk about very slightly less niche things.

You know the drill, it's Halloween so we watched a Halloween type thing, in this case the 1986 weirdo grosso classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. We didn't mention it in the episode but the poster for the film should give you a good idea what it's gonna be like: goofy, strange, and kinda confusing.

We rise from the grave just in time to release this old episode that I finally got around to editing! Find out what happens on Big Top Burger season 2 from our old fave Worthikids. Also next week will be our regular Halloween episode, sorry to any Cliffhanger fans.

It's another trip back to our childhood this week as we are delighted by the 1992 big time Disney classic Aladdin. Someone must've used one of their three wishes to keep Disney from eliminating this video's upload.

It's a real after hours episode this week as we discuss all of the terrible happenings in the 1982 evil twin classic Blood Link. In this case both twins are actually evil, because anyone who puts jam in their coffee can't be good.

We've somehow fused our own podcast with a video game podcast! Hope you like Pokemon!

This podcast is a travelogue now, sorry.

If you are a fan of classic noir filmmaking, great acting, and hilarious dummy usage, you might like The Lineup from 1958.

It's a game where you tap little things on your phone while a song plays until you can't anymore unless you pay money.

We brought our dad back for this episode to explain to us all the religious backstory and references going on in the 1999 classic goofy stoner comedy Dogma.

The way things have been going something like this might actually happen at the Oscars in a few years. The Flying Sailor (2022).

Come on in and check out this great movie about a town being terrorized by a carnivorous beast while those in charge want to keep news of the attacks hushed up so they don't lose money. It's called Jaws. Oh wait, I mean Jaws of Satan (1981).

Welcome back to the show this week, where we're hanging out, down the street, watching the same old thing, we did like 15 years ago. That 90s Show.

Okay the title is a little unwieldy but who am I, John Darnielle? Talking about The Mountain Goats, and their 2022 album Bleed Out specifically.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, Donald Duck Time! Donald's Snow Fight (1942)

It just wouldn't be the holiday season without us buckling down and watching some terrible crap, so join us this year as we feast our eyes upon the 2017 low low budget classic Santa Stole Our Dog: A Merry Doggone Christmas! The best way to induce unease and fear in your children for Christmas.

Take a sci-fi journey with us to the far off future year of 2022. Blade Runner Black Out 2022 (2017).

We continue our yearly tradition of spectating spooktacular slash-em-ups this week with the 2001 horror sci-fi action comedy classic Jason X. Unfortunately this episode got frozen in a cryogenic mishap so it's coming out a few days late.

Also known as Basically Just A Library: The Jaunt. (1981)

We continue our yearly spookstravaganza this week with a more low-key creepy entry, the 2015 horror mockumentary Savageland. Luckily our mom is back again to keep us from being too scared.

A cautionary tale about the dangers of trying to remember to floss. Beau (2011)

Kick back and relax with us this week as we watch a movie that is both fun and good for once, the 2016 living off the land comedy classic Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Apologies to any New Zealanders listening for our terrible accent work.

This short film is dynamite! Peluca (2002)

Put on your backwards hat and grab your skateboard as we go undercover this week as highschoolers in the '90s to see what the fuss is with the 1999 romantic(?) comedy(?) classic Never Been Kissed. A movie that should've been called something like, I've Been Kissed Before But I Didn't Really Like Those Guys So I Don't Count Them.

This one is about balance. Balance (1989).

Get out your best headphones for this one, as we are checking out the beautiful music of the 1982 flute-playing slasher classic Blood Song. At least until halfway through the movie when he stops playing the flute altogether.

Apologies for the unannounced break, we both got stuck in the upside down! And by that I mean we both got Covid. At least it gave us plenty of time to binge watch tv shows, like Stranger Things.

In which we talk a little about this short and a lot about John Carpenter in general. Captain Voyeur (1969).

Come join us at this dimly lit diner as we have a cup of coffee together and discuss the 1995 clash of the titans classic Heat. We got a.... GREAT EPISODE. And you got your ears ALL THE WAY ON IT.

Welcome to a very special episode with an in-studio guest and a movie that isn't free and people might have actually heard of. Basically everything's all wacky and wild, just like this movie, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022).

The only episode of our show where you might actually learn something. The Reading Rainbow episode Opt: An Illusionary Tale (1991).

We rise from the dead after a little more than three days to talk about the chilled out vibes and goofy gags of the 2013 slice of afterlife anime film Saint Young Men. Not to be controversial, but Jesus and Buddha seem like pretty cool guys.

It's our annual Oscars short episode, and all that anyone is talking about from this year's Oscars is the phenomenal short film The Long Goodbye (2020).

Strap on your thinking cap, or at least your willing suspension of disbelief cap, and join us on our foray into the 2004 classic mind-bendy time travel movie Primer. A movie that asks the age-old question: would you throw away a method of easily earning millions of dollars for the chance to punch your boss in the face once?

We will have as many sub-series as we can come up with catchy titles for. Mostly we just wanted an excuse to talk about how fun these guys are.

Join us this week as we unearth another lost favorite from our childhood and promptly discover we have forgotten basically all of the 1987 children's(?) animated classic The Chipmunk Adventure. Funny that we both remember it being called The Great Chipmunk Adventure when the movie itself is anything but great.

When there's trouble you watch an episode of an old cartoon.

Join us for a return to business as usual this week as we are taken for a ride by the 1995 gross-out horror(?) comedy(???) classic Ice Cream Man. Make sure you have some ice cream before you watch it, cause afterwards you'll never want to again.

The stand is big, but the movie is short. Bidoof's Big Stand (2022).

We're starting this season of the show off with a bang, and then several more bangs, and then basically like an hour of bangs and booms and pows as we check out the 1992 John Woo shoot 'em up Hard Boiled. Not to be confused with the type of egg.

Ho ho ho, Merry Shitmas! A Christmas in Vermont (2016).

From a recommendation based on a funny gif on the internet, here comes our episode about the 2016 Steven Seagal war hero movie Sniper: Special Ops. If you get up to get a snack while watching it, you'll move around more than Seagal does in the entire movie!

Please keep your arms and legs inside the time trap at all times. Time Trap (2013).

Everyone get your long white wigs and your cat eye contacts ready and join us this week in discussing the 2001 Polish movie/edited tv series The Hexer. Aka The Witcher if you want more name recognition, or Wiedźmin if you wanna be really authentic.
