Episode 79: Gor and Bottom Five Epics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jay sends Mike hurtling through an interdimensional portal and into the loincloth-garbed wasteland of Gor , an ’80s Cannon Films sword-and-sorcery “epic” about a nebbish professor transported to another world where he discovers he’s aces with a sword. With Oliver Reed chewing scenery, and enough sand, leather and exposed flesh to make Conan blush, Mike tries to determine whether Gor is the gloriously entertaining disaster its reputation suggests or simply a very long walk through the desert. Aft
Episode 78: War of the Worlds (2025) and Bottom Five Products Placements (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ice Cube once rapped “F*** tha Police,” but in 2025’s War of the Worlds , he has apparently decided the real problem is that the government isn’t watching people closely enough. Jay logs into this extremely online adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic and tries to determine whether its screenlife presentation, anti-surveillance message and handful of genuinely clever science-fiction ideas can survive a screenplay that asks one family, an Amazon delivery drone and a remotely operated Tesla to save th
Episode 77: Music of the Heart and Bottom Five Musicians (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's time once again for Filmjitsu's most inexplicable annual tradition: The Streepening .

This year's selection? Wes Craven's Music of the Heart .Yes, that Wes Craven. The mastermind behind A Night
Episode 76: Hot Dog... The Movie and Bottom Five Clichés (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As it's the middle of summer, Mike, in his infinite wisdom, assigned Jay yet another winter-themed movie! Following his Hot Frosty antics, he uncorked Hot Dog... The Movie , a 1984 skis-and-skin "comedy" about a ragtag group of elite U.S. freestyle skiers going up against uptight Germans in some kind of world-class competition that apparently attracts the horniest people alive. Why Mike is obsessed with "hot" movies set in cold climates is beyond anyone's understanding, but the damage has been d
Episode 75: Masters of the Universe and Bottom Five Tough Guys (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The fireworks may be over and the grill has gone cold, but Filmjitsu is still celebrating! This week, Jay and Mike recount their trip to the theater for the long-awaited return of Masters of the Universe . After a first trailer that inspired more dread than excitement, could a reported $200 million blockbuster based on an '80s toy line really succeed where the 1987 Dolph Lundgren adaptation stumbled and sent the franchise into cinematic hibernation for nearly four decades? The guys are joined by
