“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??

238 - Man of Steel (2014)

“You ever get tired of being wrong?”

Nobody wrote any show notes this week, so hi, it's Tucker. This movie is really lame and we barely talk about it. I worked really hard on the last 6 minutes of this episode, so hopefully that bit works for everyone. According to Stephen’s bullet points, we talked about Burger King and Jurassic Park, but I don't remember talking about any of that, so who knows. Ok, I love you. Goodbye.

Tuck Mugs is about the only thing worth looking at on the internet right now, but if that's not enough for you:

237 - Land of the Lost (2009)

“You can’t escape it. It’s everywhere… but it’s merciful if you do what it says.”

With a sequel to M3gan coming to theaters, we’re discussing this “movie that does not exist” and, along the way, we also chat about our thoughts on AI, puppeteering in Little Shop of Horrors, the Denzel Washington ‘90s weird cop movie trilogy, television shows that dropped off HARD after their initial season, celebrity interactions on social media, ridiculously long song titles, and SO MUCH MORE!

236 - AfrAId (2024)

“It’s just a little theistic hysteria, which is nothing.”

This week, we’re feeling the love as we talk about one of Tucker and Stephen’s favorite films by one of their favorite filmmakers! We go deep on the careers of Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, and Meg Ryan - this movie’s three main stars, the dichotomy of passion vis a vis retirement at a point in an artist’s life, and an extended riff on the work and auteurism of the great Joe Dante!

235 - Innerspace (1987)

“Only one thing worse than a dragon: Americans!”

With a live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie in theaters this weekend, we’re talking about another Gerard Butler vs. dragons movie that ends with something incendiary shot down the mouth of the Alpha Dragon! Along the way, we also stop to discuss Billy Bob Thornton’s directorial efforts, why Barry Pepper should have been in this movie, and our go-to jukebox songs!

234 - Reign of Fire (2002)

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.’

Disenfranchised

Stephen, Brett, and Tucker talk failed franchise starters.
