“How is adding Kelsey Grammer to this [movie] a thing at all?” - Eric
On this week’s episode, the guys are dodging CGI explosions left and right as they talk about the total wet fart of an action film, The Expendables 3! Why couldn’t they budget for some actual explosions? Why didn’t this wind up being more of a Wesley Snipes movie? Why did the writers think th...

A Lifetime Movie for Gen Z? It happened! On this edition of Once in a Lifetime, the guys are chatting about the outrageously stupid teen tech thriller, Killer Profile (a.k.a. Do You Trust Your Boyfriend?)!

Spider-Man: No Way Homementary
On our first commentary covering a film from the MCU, we're jumping ass-first into the Multiverse while talking over the third Jon Watts Spidey film, Spider-Man: No Way Home!
How ridiculous is it that the movie asks us to root for this selfish kid who screws up the entire fabric of space and time... all because he didn't get into MIT? Why did the script feel it needed to laugh ...
