Episode 122 - Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie [SEASON 6 FINALE] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In our season finale, Taylor & Nick obsess on one of their longest obsessions. Few franchises are more dear to them than Power Rangers. Join them as they discuss the franchise’s various incarnations, rummage through their old VHS collections, and share their thoughts on the less-remembered Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997). __________ Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Writer Nick Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Editor
Episode 121 - Bio-Dome (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Join Nick & Taylor as they take a very deep dive into one of their guiltiest pleasures: Bio-Dome (1996). Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin “star” as two idiotic slackers who get locked inside a closed ecological system. Your hosts dissect Shore’s relatively brief movie stardom, analyze the performances of Joey Lauren Adams and William Atherton, and get all nostalgic for the movie’s very 90s soundtrack. __________ Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Writer Nick Zaccario…Host, Director, Produc
Episode 120 - Clerks: The Animated Series (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Though it only ran for 6 episodes (and only 2 actually aired), Clerks: The Animated Series (2002) is much better than you would expect. It’s inventive, intelligent, and a whole lot of meta-fun. What other show has parodies of Temple of Doom AND The Bad News Bears in one episode? And where else will you find Gilbert Gottfried voicing Patrick Swayze? Or Judge Judge Reinhold holding court? This show will surprise you. Listen in and find out more! __________ Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer,
Episode 119 - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) finds himself stranded in Bartertown, run by Auntie Entity (Tina Turner). Max strikes a deal with Auntie to fight in the gladiatorial arena known as Thunderome. Taylor & Nick discuss the evolution of Max’s character, analyze how Hollywood financing softened this installment’s tone, and obsess over George Miller’s unique filmography. __________ Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Writer Nick Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer
Episode 118 - Johnson Family Vacation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Taylor & Nick bum a ride with Nate Johnson (Cedric the Entertainer) and his family (Vanessa L. Williams, Bow Wow, and Solange Knowles) as they head to Carruthersville, Missouri for their family reunion. Along the trip, the Johnson family encounters everything from a nutty hitchhiker (Shannon Elizabeth) and her pet alligator to the screen debut of Jason Momoa. Though it's a blatant rip-off of National Lampoon’s Vacation, your hosts recommend you sit back and enjoy Johnson Family Vacation (2004).
