Fifty Shades Of Grey (2015)

Fifty Shades Of Grey (2015)

A smutty film based on the smutty book based on Twilight. It stars Dakota Johnson's nipples, Jamie Dornan's abs, and long drawn-out contract negotiations. It's heartily disliked by the actual BDSM community because of its depiction of this paraphilia being based on questionable consent, and on old fashioned notions that kinks are based on psychological problems, or childhood trauma. We watched it so you don't have to!

Kind of boring for a super-horny picture.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Parts 1 & 2

In this classic episode, we finish our journey through the Twilight Saga with the Breaking Dawns, or Bella and Edward Play a Lot of Chess, Break a Bed and Have an Uncanny Valley Baby. Also, the best sequence in the entirety of the franchise happens... but it's all just a dream.

Double Team (1997)

Double Team (1997)

What do you get when you mix Jean Claude Van Damme, Mickey Rourke, and flakey NBA forward Dennis Rodman, blend them with 1960s cult television show The Prisoner, and garnish with a Bengal Tiger?

You get this surprisingly entertaining cinematic cocktail that goes down smooth with no bitter after-taste!

Twilight: New Moon (2009) & Twilight: Eclipse (2010)

Daddy - O (1958)

Daddy - O (1958)

Between discussions about performing on tiny stages, wretched autoimmune skin diseases, and burlesque artistry, we discuss the 1958 beatnik/rock-n-roll/drag racing/drug dealing/ film noir starring Dick Contino, the greatest accordion player in history.

There's racing! Romance! Sexist threats! Pizza! Goons! An apple! and so much more in this black and white classic of the drive-in era!

Mar 04, 202449:58
Twilight (2008)

Twilight (2008)

In this classic episode, we start our journey through the Twilight Saga, with the first movie in the sparkle vampire versus wolfboy tale of romance. Eric absolutely loves these, but will claim it's only because of the Rifftrax versions (sure Eric... we believe you)

Mar 03, 202401:27:04
They Call Me Macho Woman (1989)

Because That's How You Get Ants

Because That's How You Get Ants

In this classic episode, we take a look at two ant-centric sci fi movies - THEM (1954) and Phase IV (1974)! One has lots of exploding ants (and everything) and might possibly just be about communism and the other has super smart hive mind ants that want to take over the world. Either way, we welcome our insect overlords.

Feb 20, 202401:00:32
Vamp (1986)

Vamp (1986)

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1986 vampire horror movie, Vamp! The best part about this film is that Grace Jones is in it as a sexy vampire dancer. The worst part about this film is that Grace Jones is only in it for about 10 minutes.

Feb 17, 202401:26:36

The Avengers (1998)

The Avengers (1998)

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1998 action adventure film, The Avengers! Yay for superheroes! Wait... not those Avengers? Nope. We're looking at the dreadful movie adaptation of the excellent 1960's British spy show starring Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman. It does have Sean Connery in a bear mascot costume, so it has that going for it.

Feb 09, 202401:09:23
Suitable Flesh (2023)

Suitable Flesh (2023)

Ragdoll (1999)

Ragdoll (1999)

Jan 30, 202401:01:48
Logan's Run

Logan's Run

The Mangler (1995)

The Mangler (1995)

Delightfully stupid and random film version of a Steven King short story about a huge laundry machine that's possessed by a demon. Goofy and terrible picture from director Tobe Hooper.

Can't Stop the Music

In this classic episode, we discuss the ultimate Cinema Supercollider Thanksgiving tradition - Can't Stop the Music! It's full of hokey comedy and the Village People singing super catchy tunes. Get yourself a big plate of cheesy goodness - but beware of the contact lenses in the lasagna.

Nov 26, 202301:19:40

This Dana Carvey vehicle is widely considered to be one of the worst films of all time. On the plus side though, he gets slapped in the face SO MANY TIMES.

Nov 20, 202301:06:57
The Wicker Man

The Wicker Man

In this classic episode, we take a look at The Wicker Man - both the original 1973 version with Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee as well as the 2006 re-make starring Nicolas Cage!

Nov 19, 202301:01:04

Ape vs Monster

This "mockbuster' from Asylum Productions tells the age old story of a genetically modified ape from space that is pitted against a giant gila monster by aliens from the Andromeda galaxy. Less stuff happens than you might think.

The Giant Gila Monster

A rock-n-rolla, deuce-coupe, car mechanic gang leader saves his Arizona town from the ravages of a giant Mexican beaded lizard, all the while courting his French Miss Universe girlfriend, and helping his polio-stricken little sister.

I THINK NOT!

(h/t J. B. Briggs)

Dead Ant

Oct 02, 202341:34
Over the Top

Over the Top

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1987 arm wrestling movie Over the Top, starring Sylvester Stallone and Robert Loggia! If you've ever wondered what goes into a double elimination professional arm wrestling competition before, this film will go into confusing detail for the entirety of the third act... and we still have no clue what's going on.

Sep 30, 202301:21:04
Head Of The Family

Sep 11, 202355:17
Goin' Coconuts

Goin' Coconuts

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1978 Donny and Marie Osmond movie, Goin’ Coconuts!  It’s a little bit of that one episode of the Brady Bunch when they went to Hawaii and a little bit of the Beatles’ film, Help, but with 100% more wholesome 1970s Osmond goodness.  Megan was a little disappointed in the level of goons, but we were very impressed at Marie Osmond’s scream queen abilities.
