“...are you mocking me?”

Sketch-tember continues as we discuss this ill-conceived vehicle for ‘80s and ‘90s sketch comedy impressionist icon, Dana Carvey! We talk about the correlation between Carvey and SNL costar Mike Myers’s views of comedy, Carvey’s spiritual SNL successor, who this movie is actually for, the oeuvre of M. Night Shyamalan, and more deep-cut Indianapolis-area talk!

245 - Strange Brew (1983)

“Bob, I want all my Garmanbozia.”

It’s our fifth season finale! Few movies could do justice to such an austere and august occasion as the cinematic adaptation of one our favorite television shows! Join us as we discuss David Lynch’s unwavering sincerity, our “Twin Peaks” backstories, the reasons behind the absences of several key cast members, and how our opinions of this film have evolved over time!

244 - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)

“Kabukiman sanjo!”

With a new Toxic Avenger film on the horizon, we’re talking about another Troma superhero who, unlike Toxie, didn’t get a series of sequels! And, along the way, we discuss this film’s aggressively problematic nature and content, Tucker’s frustrations while driving in Indianapolis, our thoughts and histories with Troma films, our thoughts on theatrically-released Looney Tunes films, and Luis Guzmán’s status as a “that guy” actor.

243 - Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990)

“Don’t underestimate a straight white man’s propensity for violence…”

This week, after the release of Freakier Friday in theaters, we’re talking about this body swap slasher and, with it, the work of Christopher Landon, the fun of a well-executed genre mashup, this incredibly talented cast, and how nice it is to be reminded about how funny Vince Vaughn can be!

Cue the creepy dudes in the masks. Okay, so we’re not THAT creepy… and the masks are social media… I dunno, just give us a follow, why not?

241 - Brigsby Bear (2017) w/ Noah East (Straight Up 008)

“I don't take compliments well, but I get them all the time.”

The Naked Gun remake hits theaters this weekend, so we're taking a break from our regular schedule to rewind back to our Jim Henson theme month from 2022 when we talked about another cop comedy… but this one has PUPPETS! PLUS, we're joined by one of Stephen's former students, filmmaker Katy Doyle! (Don't worry - it gets awkward!)

REWIND 010 - The Happytime Murders (2018) w/ Katy Doyle

“Please don't blow up… please don't blow up…”

Fantastic Four: First Steps is out this weekend so we're rounding out our Fantastic Four miniseries with this studio compromised 2015 film that reminds Tucker of Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows and Stephen of Man of Steel! We talk body horror, M. Night Shyamalan, and one area that every F4 movie falls short on! Check it out!

240 - Fantastic Four (Fant4stic) (2015)

“It’s clobberin’ time… for REAL!”

With Fantastic Four: First Steps on the horizon, we're kicking off a double feature with this unreleased 1994 failed franchise starter featuring a surprisingly expressive rubber mask, a better-than-it-ought-to-be score, and one of the stars of the made-for-TV Not Quite Human film franchise! Join us for a tangent-heavy discussion of this bootleg classic!

239 - The Fantastic Four (1994)

“On my world, it means hope.”

There's a new Superman movie in theaters, so we're answering the important questions! Things like: Does this film even fit our format? Does Zack Snyder understand Superman as a character? What comics does Stephen recommend for the person seeking to understand how Superman fits in a modern context? And wait… this movie was marketed to churches??

Join Stephen Foxworthy, Brett Wright, and Tucker as they dive into the specifics of those ’Franchises of One’ - films that were meant to kick off major film franchises... but ultimately failed to do so! Together they examine the people, properties, and potential of each ’failed franchise starter’ with wit and humor without ’punching down.’
