Does it deserve to be forgotten or is it a misunderstood fever-dream family comedy?

Lake Placid

Fri, 04 Mar 2022 05:40:38 +0000

A stacked cast. A killer crocodile. And a whole lot of sarcastic quipping. Zach & Brandon take a look back at one of the more popular creature features of the 1990s. Released just two weeks before Deep Blue Sea, 1999's Lake Placid was a modest box office success but became a hit on home video- spawning five sequels. It's blend of horror and humor left critics and audiences mixed. But everyone seemed to agree that witnessing Betty White curse like a sailor was worth a watch.

Holes

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 07:18:53 +0000

Mr. Toilet Man, nightmare-fuel baby puppets, and one very dysfunctional family- there's a whole lot to cover here. Zach & Brandon take a look back at the 1990 sequel to the monster hit family comedy Look Who's Talking. John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and Bruce Willis return to yuck it up with little Mikey's baby sister, voiced by Roseanne Barr, entering the fold. Does this one hold up to the original? Was it ever a good movie? The boys debate.

X-Men

Fri, 21 Jan 2022 05:06:18 +0000

Before Spider-Man, Hulk, Daredevil, or Fantastic Four, Marvel kicked off the 2000's with one of their most influential comic book movie adaptations. X-Men helped shape the superhero movie formula and kicked off a trend that's even more popular today. But is it any good?

The boys debate.

Mars Attacks!

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 16:24:41 +0000

Zach & Brandon look back at one of Tim Burton's most strange and juvenile films, 1996's sci fi comedy satire Mars Attacks! It's filled with a stacked cast of 90s all-stars, featuring the likes of Jack Nicholson (in two roles), Michael J. Fox, Danny DeVito and Glenn Close. And most are reduced to a couple minutes of screen time with not much to do! Tune in to hear Zach & Brandon's thoughts on the bizarre alien design, it's endless cavalcade of cameos, and campy yet cynical tone. Plus Sarah Jessica Parker's head ends up on a chihuahua at one point. ACK! ACK! ACK!

8 Mile

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 04:00:50 +0000

It's not often Zach & Brandon review Academy Award winning films on the show, but when they do it has a main character nicknamed B-Rabbit, climactic rap battles and a glorious appearance by Michael Shannon. They take a look back on the Eminem pop cultural phenomenon of the early 2000s as well as his acting debit in 8 Mile. It's all covered here- it's Oscar winning song, Scary Movie 3 parody references, Cheddar Bob, even mom's spaghetti.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 02:28:26 +0000

Suit up for a trip back to 1995- at the height of Power Ranger popularity. Studio execs fast-tracked this theatrical adaptation of the hit children's TV show that licensed footage from older Japanese properties. Zach & Brandon relive this strange time in all its glory by reviewing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.

Shallow Hal

Thu, 12 Aug 2021 12:25:37 +0000

True love is worth the weight! Zach & Brandon take a look back at the 2001 romantic comedy fantasy Shallow Hal. Directed by the Farrelly Brothers, it paired Gwyneth Paltrow with Jack Black (in his first leading role) for a high concept love story about a guy who's hypnotized into seeing women's true inner beauty. More sentimental than the directors' previous efforts, it's a romcom that wears its heart on its sleeve but has taken heat in more recent years for some of its problematic subject matter. The boys attempt to wrap their heads around the confounding premise, Jason Alexander's horrific character, Paltrow's fat suit, and much more. Plus Zach learns the true meaning of the Baha Men's classic song 'Who Let the Dogs Out?'

The Perfect Storm

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 04:27:05 +0000

The Sandlot

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 15:09:49 +0000

'YOU'RE KILLING ME SMALLS!' Take a trip back to the 1960's with Zach and Brandon as they revisit a seminal 90's baseball classic. It's the summer of 1962 and an abandoned patch of sand and grass becomes the summer oasis for a ragtag group of friends. 1993's The Sandlot is a movie built on nostalgia in the vein of Stand by Me and A Christmas Story. But does hold up today? Chewing tobacco, junkyard dog puppets, the infamous pool scene, Dennis Leary, and much more is discussed during the episode. Just remember, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid and you can never go wrong.

National Lampoon‘s Van Wilder

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 02:01:25 +0000

Don't graduate, celebrate! Zach & Brandon head back to school to party with the king of Coolidge College in 2002's National Lampoon's Van Wilder. In his first lead performance in a studio film, Ryan Reynolds tears into the role with his trademark sarcasm and sardonic charisma. It's a role built for the actor- a persona he'd revisit throughout the next twenty years of his career. He's a lovable underachiever who's managed to spend seven years on campus without earning a degree. But he has earned the respect and admiration of nearly everyone he meets. But is this movie as good as its star? Check out the episode to hear Zach & Brandon discuss its supporting cast, gross out comedies in general, stripper farts, the villain's comeuppance and of course the infamous bull dog scene.

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 02:50:00 +0000

Zach & Brandon tackle their first video game movie adaptation! Technically the fourth film based on a video game property to get theatrically released, 1995's Mortal Kombat remains one of the best according to fans. Critically reevaluated in recent years, it's gained a resurgence in popularity. The boys discuss if it's worthy of that praise or if video game adaptations are so terrible that it's cult following is unwarranted. They discuss the lack of gore, impressive set design, shoddy visual effects and that badass theme song. Plus, they get into the inevitable comparisons to the 2021 reboot and somehow Jake & Logan Paul fights. Tune in to see if this action adventure fantasy delivers a flawless victory.

Phone Booth

Wed, 26 May 2021 03:15:00 +0000

Zach & Brandon debate if a ringing phone needs to be answered in the 2003 thriller Phone Booth. Colin Farrell loses his Irish accent to portray a New York City publicist trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by a sniper voiced by Kiefer Sutherland. A relic of the early 2000s, it's a dated premise that might feature just enough clever direction and plot contrivances to keep it moving at a breakneck speed. Plus it has everything we know and love about NYC- prostitutes in need of phone booths, pizza delivery guys delivering to phone booths, and weapons stashed inside phone booths. The boys discuss the film from start to finish and highlight a few of its quirks, from the amount of times the sniper cocks his rifle, to Forest Whitaker's character's troubled marriage, to the hilarious fact that only 3 million people had cell phones in NYC in 2003.

Any Given Sunday

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 02:49:00 +0000

Join Zach & Brandon as they revisit the testosterone-fueled football epic, 1999's Any Given Sunday. It's a sprawling drama touching all corners of the industry and everyone involved. Directed by controversial filmmaker Oliver Stone, the boys discuss whether this film attempts to condemn or glamorize the sport. They discuss the all-star cast, the aggressive editing & shot selection, as well as Jamie Foxx's rap song, Al Pacino's droopy peepers and the balls-to-the-wall energy of it all.

Air Bud

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 18:40:11 +0000

'Ain't no rule that says the dog can't play basketball!' With that sound logic, Zach & Brandon revisit a seminal 90's favorite, Air Bud. Spawning 13 sequels/spinoffs, the boys discuss what audiences saw in the original to make this largely direct-to-video franchise so popular. Was it the alcoholic animal abusing clown played by Michael Jeter? Was it the coach violently pelting one of his players with basketballs in an attempt to make him catch better? Or could it have been the sheer talent of an escaped circus dog sinking free throws? They answer those questions and raise many more on this week's episode!

The Ring

Sat, 07 Nov 2020 14:47:03 +0000

Zach & Brandon revisit the movie everyone was hyping up back in middle school as one of the scariest films ever, 2002's The Ring. An English language remake of an Asian horror hit, this box office juggernaut was dubbed my many as one of the best horror films of its decade. But how does it hold up nearly two decades later? The boys discuss their general disdain for the wave of remakes this film ushered in, as well as the disturbing urban legend at its core, the one scene everyone remembers, stretchy face filters, horse suicide, and much more!

Sleepy Hollow

Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:12:41 +0000

HEADS WILL ROLL! The boys celebrate Halloween with one of Brandon's favorite films to watch to get into the holiday spirit, 1999's Sleepy Hollow. Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci star in this big budget adaptation that became a box office hit and even earned a few Academy Award nominations. Tackling their second Tim Burton feature on the show, it's a first time viewing for Zach. They discuss their introduction to the Headless Horseman legend as well as this film's Oscar winning art direction, solid doses of gore & child murder, its cast of Harry Potter and Star Wars prequel alums, and much more!

Hitch

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 01:11:33 +0000

The boys revisit the 15 year old romantic comedy Hitch, starring NBD all-star Will Smith. He plays the smooth-talking date doctor who's responsible for hundreds of relationships across New York City. Kevin James enlists his help to woo Amber Valetta while Smith falls hard for gossip columnist Eva Mendes. Join Zach & Brandon as they take a look back at the dating game in 2005, as well as the film's slightly problematic premise, the tropes of the romcom genre, and they're disdain for the name Vance, among much more. Is the third highest grossing romantic comedy of all time just as charming as it was upon release or does the date doctor feel less cute in 2020?

School of Rock

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 00:03:54 +0000

Zach & Brandon revisit indie auteur Richard Linklater's mainstream comedy hit School of Rock. Featuring one of Jack Black's most iconic performances, it's a movie that's stuck with the boys for a variety of reasons. Zach watched it in school. Brandon saw it in theaters. But does the rock 'n roll musical comedy hold up? They discuss the tween cast, the legendary soundtrack, their love of Joan Cusack, and the legal consequences of the lead character's actions if this were real life. They don't need no education.

Honey, I Blew Up the Kid

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 19:39:10 +0000

The Szalinski family is back and bigger than ever! Following the massive success of 1989's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Disney jumped at the opportunity to franchise the sci-fi family comedy. Two sequels followed, one hit theaters while the other went straight-to-video. Returning guest Jamie Gagnon joins Zach & Brandon to discuss 1992's Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. They get into its production history, insane plot and special effects. They've also got questions like why does every woman in this movie faint? Or why didn't the filmmakers explore this giant baby's diaper situation?

From Dusk Till Dawn

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 02:48:30 +0000

Cheap drinks. Loud music. Vampires. This'll be one hell of a night. Zach & Brandon revisit one of the most notable bait and switch genre films of the 1990's, From Dusk Till Dawn. They discuss watching this action horror crime thriller at such a young age, and the shock that came from the film's twist, and over the top gore, vulgarity, and nudity. Topics of discussion include Quentin Tarantino's script & performance, Cheech Marin's multiple characters, the triple digit body count and that Salma Hayek snake scene. You know the one.

Batman & Robin

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 03:10:08 +0000

Zach & Brandon celebrate their 100th episode by revisiting one of the most notoriously reviled films of the 90s. Following the massive success of Batman Forever, the late Joel Schumacher upped the manic energy, neon lighting and campy tone for his followup, 1997's Batman & Robin. The boys discuss George Clooney's utter contempt for his character, Mr. Freeze's nonstop ice puns, Poison Ivy's sexual innuendos, and much more! It ranks among IMDb's bottom 100 films of all time... but does it deserve the hate?

Jungle 2 Jungle

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 18:20:35 +0000

Zach & Brandon are headed back to 1997 for the live-action Disney family comedy, Jungle 2 Jungle! Tim Allen stars as your typical 90's hard working Wall Street dad who finds out he has a long lost son living in the jungles of Venezuela. Mimi-Siku is his name and wacky jungle antics is his game. This week the boys discuss the problematic plot, puppet spiders, coffee stocks, and the importance of the financial service industry in children's entertainment.

Clockstoppers

Thu, 06 Aug 2020 16:50:24 +0000

Tackling one of the more obscure and forgotten flicks from the early 2000's, Zach & Brandon revisit a sci-fi action comedy they each saw once and then never again... until this episode. Zak Gibbs is your typical 2002 high schooler- he likes to shred on his BMX bike, he loves wearing baggy cargo pants, and his wristwatch enables him to speed up his body so that other people seem to be standing still. Throw in French Stewart, some Matrix-inspired gimmick effects, and one helluva soundtrack and you get Clockstoppers. The boys discuss this Nickelodeon joint in great detail, including DJ battles, the least intimidating bullies imaginable, and its Star Trek director.

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 04:06:08 +0000

Based on one of the most popular television series of their generation, Zach & Brandon revisit 2004's The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. As huge fans of the first few seasons of the show well into their adult years, they discuss the character's appeal, their favorite episodes, and how best to enjoy the series all grown up (typically with a beer in hand or some herbal enhancements at the ready). But how does America's favorite sponge hold up after all these years in his first feature length outing? Tune in to hear all their thoughts on the Goofy Goober song, David Hasselhoff's 12-foot replica, and the epic voice work of it's talented cast. It's bigger, better, and more absorbent.

Can‘t Hardly Wait

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 03:01:01 +0000

Zach & Brandon revisit a seminal late 90's teen favorite, Can't Hardly Wait. Following in the footsteps of similar one-night high school party classics like American Graffiti and Dazed and Confused, this coming of age comedy is a real time capsule of its generation. The boys discuss its impact on them as pre-teens, as well as some of the outdated character stereotypes, clever subversion of genre tropes, and the quintessential 90's mixtape soundtrack. So blast some Guns 'N Roses, get ready to lose your virginity, and scream to the heavens 'Mike Dexter is a GOD!' Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's the future. Tonight's the party.

Ice Age

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 02:17:26 +0000

Nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar as well as spawning four theatrical sequels, 2002's Ice Age became a pop culture phenomenon at the start of the 21st century. The animated comedy's one minute long teaser featuring a strange looking squirrel trying to bury his nut took the world by storm. Little did we know, we'd spend the better part of two decades with Scrat and his mostly extinct mammal pals. Brandon & Zach revisit the first Ice Age to discuss the history of the project, the ray tracing animation, Rusted Root, 'Joe' Leguizamo, and Dodo bird mass suicide.

The Patriot

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 17:21:24 +0000

Zach & Brandon tackle their third Roland Emmerich film on the show (following previous episodes on Independence Day & Godzilla). 2000's The Patriot earned three Oscar nominations despite receiving mixed reviews upon release. The boys break down the historical epic's plot and the impact of seeing it at such a young age. Highlights include cannonball decapitations, a roster of Nostalgia Be Damned child actors, Mel Gibson's 'I'm not going to cry' face, and the film's massive production. Twenty years later, is this American Revolutionary War drama closer in quality to Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan or Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor?

Spy Kids

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 03:05:10 +0000

Join Zach & Brandon to revisit a film neither of them particularly enjoyed as kids, but have received several requests to cover on the show. 2001's Spy Kids was director Robert Rodriguez's first foray into children's entertainment, marking a bizarre turn for the 90's indie auteur. A favorite among their generation, the boys check back in on the action/adventure family comedy as adults to see what critics and kids alike loved. Does it hold up nearly two decades later? They get into their hated of the kid-spy genre, Danny Trejo's introduction as Machete, the terrifying Pee Wee Herman meets Telletubbies nightmare villain show, and the insanity of thumb henchmen.

Balto

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 01:30:08 +0000

Join Zach & Brandon as they revisit a (mostly) animated tale steeped in controversy. 1995's Balto was a box office failure upon release, but grew in popularity on home video. It's VERY loosely based on the true story about the dog who helped save children infected by the diphtheria epidemic in the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska. But 25 years later, the record's been set straight regarding the historical inaccuracies of Balto's heroism. But how does the movie hold up? The boys discuss its distracting side characters, quality of animation and the subtle sexual innuendos hidden in this G-rated kid's flick. Balto... he's part dog. Part wolf. All lies.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +0000

It's Zach & Brandon's third Robin Williams family comedy, as well as their third episode covering a feature directed by Chris Columbus!

Join the boys as they run through the entire crazy plot, beat by beat. They discuss the Oscar winning makeup, their favorite Lawrence brother, and the overall insanity of the protagonist's plan.

Heavyweights

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 00:17:07 +0000

1995's Heavyweights IMDb synopsis reads: Plump kids are lured into joining a posh fat camp with the promise of quick weight loss and good times, only to find that the facility is a woodland hellhole run by a psycho ex-fitness instructor. Zach & Brandon take their first trip to Camp Hope and are surprised to see a stacked cast of three Mighty Ducks, the director of Bridesmaids, Grandma's Boy himself, Buster Scruggs, and Ben Stiller in an underrated villain turn. Both a sardonic spoof of 90's fitness gurus and a traditional Disney rag tag sports team flick, the boys discuss the pros and cons of this cult hit that's become a favorite of their generation.

John Q.

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 17:04:17 +0000

Hot off his Oscar win as the corrupt cop in 'Training Day,' Denzel Washington turned in an overlooked performance as a father forced to take an ER hostage when the hospital refuses to perform his son's lifesaving heart surgery. Although a modest box office success, critics panned the film. Zach & Brandon revisit 2002's John Q. to determine whether or not it deserves it's shockingly low Rotten Tomatoes score. Although a deeply serious film, they manage to find plenty to jab at, including news reporter Tuck Lampley's questionable methods, the motley crew of hostages, and a heart rate monitor countdown to death. And remember, it's not goodbye. It's see you later.

The Parent Trap (1998)

Tue, 26 May 2020 01:12:08 +0000

Twice the fun, double the trouble. Zach & Brandon revisit the film their sisters had in heavy rotation back in the day. They grew up loving the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, which introduced the boys, and the world, to Lindsay Lohan. Tackling a rare genre for the show, they break down the plot of this romantic comedy and all their favorite bits- including summer camp prank wars, elaborate secret handshakes, and the near blinding charisma of American legend Dennis Quaid. So grab your stuffed Cuppy and some Oreos & peanut butter to once again experience the joys of this Disney classic from a different perspective.

Drumline

Wed, 20 May 2020 23:49:32 +0000

Half time is game time in this 2002 teen dramedy starring Nickelodeon's favorite rapper, Nick Cannon! Zach & Brandon revisit the pseudo-sports flick they loved as preteens to see if it holds up nearly twenty years later. They cover 'the original Whiplash' to discuss Brandon's appreciation of Orlando Jones, Zach's obsession with drumlines in general, as well as their confusion over the amount of rapper/actor GQ's screen time. From Full Metal Jacket training regimens to Petey Pablo's musical performance- there's a lot to talk about. So grab your sticks, polish your kit, and remove the nostalgia goggles before hitting the field for this week's episode covering Drumline!

The Replacements

Thu, 14 May 2020 15:28:03 +0000

'Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever.' Zach revisits one of his favorite football flicks from childhood, while Brandon gets to see his beloved Keanu Reeves in a whole new light. They're discussing 2000's sports comedy The Replacements and all its quirks. From its recruitment montages, to its obsession with 'I Will Survive,' to its barnacle scrubbing quarterback- this is a film built on quirkiness. When professional football players start striking for more pay, the league hires replacement players to finish out the season, and boy howdy do they know how to pick 'em! So hit the locker room with the boys, flip a couple trucks, learn the Electric Slide, and grab your favorite trophy from the bottom of the ocean. Suit up for The Replacements!

Stuart Little

Tue, 05 May 2020 00:59:41 +0000

Little high little low, little hey little ho! 1999's Stuart Little was a box office success and a family favorite amongst 90s kids. Zach & Brandon revisit this beloved adaptation of E.B. White's classic children's book about a talking mouse and his human family. Of course in M. Night Shyamalan's script, Stuart is adopted by the Littles- which raises many questions for the boys. Why did this upper-class family choose to waste their resources on adopting a rodent instead of the many children at the orphanage in desperate need of care? Why does this family look as though they live in a Wes Anderson movie in late-90's New York? Why does no one react to this talking mouse like a rational human? So the cats can talk to the mouse, the mouse can talk to humans and cats, but the cats don't speak to humans? That, and so much more, on this week's episode!

War of the Worlds (2005)

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 00:43:48 +0000

Travel back to 2005 with Zach & Brandon to the year that brought us Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch to promote his latest collaboration with Steven Spielberg. War of the Worlds became one of the highest grossing films of that year, further proof that Americans love some good ol' fashioned disaster porn. The boys discuss everything about this alien invasion epic, including Dakota Fanning's MTV Movie Award nominated performance, blood vegetation, humans harvested via alien anus mouth, Morgan Freeman's narration and Tom Crusie playing a terrible father/ badass Brooklyn dock worker. So crank that camera iris open, overexpose them whites, disintegrate into dust or suddenly decide to join the military because it's time to revisit this sci-fi blockbuster!

Flubber

Tue, 14 Apr 2020 06:58:01 +0000

Zach & Brandon revisit 1997's sci-fi family comedy Flubber. A remake of a Disney classic, Flubber was marketed as a children's chucklefest about Robin Williams befriending a glob of sentient green goo. What we got dealt a lot more with a robot's infatuation with its human master, a scientist with a degenerative brain disorder that causes him to forget to marry his fiancé multiple times, and a pair of Wet Bandit wannabees attempting to steal intellectual property. Does it hold up? Was it ever good? The boys debate.

Austin Powers in Goldmember

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 01:43:04 +0000

He's got the Midas touch, but he touched it too much. Zach & Brandon revisit one of their favorite characters from their childhood, and one of the most recognizable pop-culture creations of the 1990s, Austin Powers. Yeah, baby! Rather than dissect the original, or its shagadelic sequel, they tackle the third entry in this popular spy parody franchise. Austin teams up with Foxxy Cleopatra to take down Dr. Evil & Goldmember while also making a whole lot of mole puns, fart jokes, and quintessential early 2000s references. The boys get into everything that works and doesn't work about this sequel, including the legendary Michael Caine as Austin's 'Faja,' the hilarious meta opening, the strange amount of musical interludes, recycled gags, and Mini- Me's kickstand talents. GROOVY!

Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 07:33:20 +0000

Anticipation was at a fever pitch back in 1999 for the latest installment in the Star Wars saga. Zach and Brandon revisit the film that introduced them to the movie hype machine courtesy of the constant bombardment of television promos, Pepsi can characters, and Taco Bell toys. They take a deep dive into one of their childhood favorite franchises to determine if The Phantom Menace deserves its reputation as one of the worst films in the series or if it's an impressive feat of imaginative filmmaking. They discuss the badass Darth Maul, the confounding Jar Jar Binks and the likelihood of them finishing the saga if this were their introduction to it.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 07:09:16 +0000

2003's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ushered in a new wave of classic horror remakes throughout the remainder of the decade. Zach and Brandon revisit this box office hit to see if it remains as brutal and unflinching as they remember. Is this one of the better horror remakes of its time or is it a whole lot of desaturated style over substance? Topics of discussion include salting stump legs, the producers' desperate attempts to soak Jessica Biel's white tank top, the dolly shot through the back of that lady's head, and R. Lee Ermey's truly gross-o character.

Zoolander

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 03:39:15 +0000

One look? One look? I don't think so! Zach and Brandon revisit one of their favorite comedies growing up, Zoolander. Released just two weeks after the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, Zoolander was considered a disappointment at first, but slowly built a devoted cult fanbase over the next few years. Endlessly quotable and a clever satire on the fashion industry & celebrity culture, it's a true time capsule of the early 2000s. There's runway walk-off competitions, gasoline fights, celebrity cameos galore, and one of Will Ferrell's greatest moments in front of a camera. It also taught us valuable lessons like there's more to life than being really really really ridiculously good looking. And that Hansel, he's so hot right now.

Bad Boys 2

Sat, 15 Feb 2020 06:35:19 +0000

At a hefty two and half hours long, there's a lot to say. Zach and Brandon revisit a favorite from their teenage years- one that's got excessively long car chases, several factions of ecstasy obsessed villains, and charismatic leads. With 2003's Bad Boys II, Michael Bay unleashed his MOST Michael Bay creation overflowing with booty shots, fast cars, and wait, is that Michael Shannon at a KKK rally? And are those rats having sex? Are those REAL rats simulating sex in missionary position? Was that Dan Marino? Lots to cover, a whole lot to dissect. Whatcha gonna do?

Cool Runnings

Sun, 19 Jan 2020 02:58:35 +0000

Zach & Brandon take a look back at a childhood classic with this 90's sports comedy. 1993's Cool Runnings is based on the true story of the first Jamaican bobsled team to compete at the Olympics. It's a tale as old as time filled with East German rivals, a sweet-as-can-be John Candy, and some montage perfection. Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

Jack Frost (1998)

Wed, 25 Dec 2019 15:55:56 +0000

Zach & Brandon struggle to understand how exactly Michael Keaton turns into a snowman. A magical harmonica played on Christmas brings back Jack Frost back from the dead on the one year anniversary of his car accident. Now he's a terrifying CGI/puppet snowman that sort of resembles George Clooney. But hey, 'Snow Dad is better than No Dad.'

Good Burger

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 03:45:18 +0000

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can we take your order? Zach & Brandon revisit this 1997 family comedy based off a skit on Nickelodeon's sketch series 'All That.' They take off the nostalgia goggles to discuss Kenan & Kel, rollerblading, shark poison, and the scathing indictment of the fast food industry underlying this 90s cult comedy. Other highlights include the 20 year-old owner of the rival burger business, the seminal 'I'm a Dude' song, and Sinbad's wardrobe.

Signs

Sun, 27 Oct 2019 22:32:59 +0000

Zach & Brandon take a look back at 2002's sci-fi thriller Signs. They unpack Shyamalan twists and their thoughts on his filmography. Brandon was diagnosed with Shyamalan fever back in the day while Zach was a little cold on the filmmaker, even before his later career missteps. So grab a half full glass of 'contaminated' water, wrap your tin foil hat, and tell Merrill to 'swing away,' because we're seeing Signs.

Idle Hands

Sun, 13 Oct 2019 18:57:09 +0000

Zach and Brandon are joined by recurring guest Jamie Gagnon to talk about the best late 90's horror stoner comedy about appendage possession there is. When Devon Sawa's right hand gets an evil mind of its own, it's up to his two cannabis crazed undead zombie buds to help him out and win the girl of his dreams. Idle Hands became a cult classic on DVD, but does this comedy that purports to "give horror films the backhand" hold up or does it belong staked to a corpse with a high priestess dagger? Grab your Druid watches and Mighty Joe Bong, because the boys are about to tackle the touching story of a boy and his right hand.

Shark Tale

Sun, 29 Sep 2019 03:01:27 +0000

Zach & Brandon dive into the Academy Award nominated Shark Tale to see if this early 2000's Dreamworks' family comedy holds up 15 years later. They discuss the vegetarian shark subtext, the ill advised animation of Will Smeeth (yes, that's spelled correctly) as a fish, literal loan sharks, and 'OJ Shrimpson.'

Cats & Dogs

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 07:15:09 +0000

We've all known cats and dogs are mortal enemies, but in 2001 we found out why. Cats & Dogs answers the age old question, positing a world in which these two household creatures are waging a war right under our noses. Zach & Brandon revisit a childhood favorite to see if this family comedy lands in the doghouse or the litter box... either way it won't be good. They discuss the complexities of the dog/spy world, puppet animal violence, a spirited voice performance by Sean Hayes, as well as some troubling Nazi subtext.

Mulan (1998)

Sun, 18 Aug 2019 23:00:32 +0000

For two 90's boys with sisters, Mulan was a beloved classic for Zach & Brandon growing up. One of the last of the Disney renaissance era, this empowering action adventure brought humor and heart into the well-worn animated princess genre. The boys revisit the flick to discover what made it so enjoyable back then - and to see if it still holds up today. They, of course, get into the nitty gritty details such as Mulan's wacky soldier sidekicks, Li Shang's personal struggle with falling in love with a woman he believes to be a man, and the sore spine of Eddie Murphy who at times picks the entire movie up and carries it on his little dragon back. That, and much more, on this week's episode!

The Fifth Element

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 03:44:49 +0000

Zach & Brandon watch The Fifth Element, ya know- that movie where a blonde Bruce Willis has to save the world by rescuing a sexy element to evade an evil space fireball. They get into every strange detail about Luc Besson's space opera, including Gary Oldman's Texan/Gary Busey accent, how terrible it would be to drive a floating taxi cab in future New York, and spy cameras attached to cockroaches. Oh yeah, Chris Tucker's in this movie too!

The Mighty Ducks

Sun, 02 Jun 2019 02:25:47 +0000

Zach & Brandon tackle a film that spawned a trilogy, an animated cartoon series, and its own official NHL team. It's The Mighty Ducks of course! Alcoholic lawyer Gordon Bombay, played by Emilio Estevez, is forced to teach a ragtag team of misfits how to play hockey but he just might learn something about himself along the way. Zach loved it as a kid. Brandon's watching it for the first time. They try to wrap their heads around the Aryan Hawks, the conventions of 90's sports comedies, and why Pee Wee hockey is so damn important to everyone in Minnesota.

Spider-Man (2002)

Tue, 28 May 2019 02:59:16 +0000

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man set the stage for the modern superhero origin story. Following successful adaptations of Superman, Batman, and the X-Men, 2002 brought the release of Tobey Maguire's 35-year-old high schooler Peter Parker, and his wild ride through puberty and one helluva spider bite transformation. Join Zach & Brandon as they revisit one of their favorite flicks from their preteen years to hear all their thoughts on how the movie shaped the genre today, that sexy upside down kiss, and the brilliance of J.K. Simmons & Willem Dafoe. Plus they get into Mopey Maguire, Uncle Ben's tearful goodbye and Macho Man Randy Savage!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer‘s Stone

Sun, 07 Apr 2019 18:32:39 +0000

There isn't a 90's kid alive who isn't aware of the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Whether a fan or not, it was impossible to not get swept up in the cultural phenomenon of the series - and it all starts with the 2001 family fantasy adventure Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The boys debate whether or not the first entry in the wildly successful franchise holds up 18 years after its release. They also discuss early 2000's CGI, the nightmare of actually attending this school, the rationale behind leaving a wizard celebrity in the hands of some extremely abusive relatives, and much more!

The Fast and the Furious

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 18:03:46 +0000

Zach & Brandon take a look back at the racing flick that started it all! They discuss The Fast and the Furious franchise roots as well as how the series evolved since its simple inception. What began as some street racers stealing VHS/ DVD combo players would eventually spiral out of control and into superhero/ super-spy territory. But they're taking it back to the sweaty, Limp Bizkit filled year of 2001 to get into the Diesel/ Walker bromance, Vince's toxic masculinity and of course that sweet NOS CGI!

A n t z

Sat, 09 Mar 2019 05:55:43 +0000

Two computer animated family films about insects were racing to release first in the fall of 1998. While Dreamworks' Antz may have beat Pixar's A Bug's Life to theaters by a month, the latter earned more at the box office and has arguably eclipsed the former in terms of pop culture relevance. But is it deserved? Is Antz actually the better film? The boys debate. They also discuss the 'Starship Troopers/ Saving Private Ryan termite battle carnage, the disturbing character facial design that tried to match the actors' features, as well as the historic rivalry between two of Hollywood's animation powerhouse studios.

National Treasure

Mon, 04 Mar 2019 22:01:08 +0000

Zach & Brandon rediscover 2004's historically ACCURATE action adventure blockbuster National Treasure.

Godzilla (1998)

Sat, 16 Feb 2019 23:53:22 +0000

SIZE DOES MATTER. But plot, effects, and acting - not so much. Zach & Brandon dig up a fossil from their childhoods and take a look back on 1998's Godzilla to see if it holds up (or if it was ever good in the first place). They discuss the pregnant predator's destructive habits and remarkable ability to evade the military while straight up disappearing on the streets of Manhattan. And so much more.

The Road to El Dorado

Sat, 09 Feb 2019 23:16:40 +0000

The boys saddle up for an animated adventure filled with Elton John music and implied sex acts. Zach & Brandon share their thoughts on 2000's The Road to El Dorado, including its two interchangeable leads, TWO animal sidekicks, and a villain obsessed with sacrifice. Another early DreamWorks flick with suggestive humor and bright animation that ended up underperforming at the box office. Is it worth introducing to a new generation?

The Waterboy

Thu, 31 Jan 2019 22:00:19 +0000

Zach & Brandon tackle their second Adam Sandler sports comedy. They discuss 1998's surprise blockbuster The Waterboy and all its quirks, including the 'Mother Dead and Dearest' vibes of Kathy Bates' character, the relentless tormenting of some classic 90's jock bullies, as well as soaking in the first motion picture appearance of the Rob Schneider 'YOU CAN DO IT' townie. So sit back and enjoy- preferably with some high quality H20.

Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:57:05 +0000

Wed, 26 Dec 2018 00:08:42 +0000

There are dozens of adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol but only one of 'em has Muppets. Zach & Brandon discuss the 1992 family film and all its quirks, including the dead-eyed CGI baby face of the Ghost of Christmas Past, the catchy tunes, and Michael Caine's Oscar caliber performance as he acts opposite puppets with the utmost sincerity.

The Santa Clause

Sun, 16 Dec 2018 00:16:26 +0000

Pet Sematary (1989)

Sun, 25 Nov 2018 04:01:01 +0000

Stephen King adaptations were a dime a dozen in the 1980's. But Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary managed to find box office success in 1989 as audiences had grown tired of the barrage of slasher sequels. Zach & Brandon take a look back at a film that was largely shot in their old stomping grounds to discuss their love of Judd's borderline offensive Maine accent, Gage's compulsion to wander in the road, the lawlessness of truck drivers in this world and much more. Please share, subscribe and write a review!!

Saw (2004)

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 18:41:28 +0000

Zach & Brandon dissect the hugely successful independent horror hit that inspired the 'torture porn' sub-genre. The boys discuss 2004's Saw, it's killer ending, unhinged performances, and new metal aesthetic. Does Saw deserve to be called one of the defining horror films of its decade, or is it simply a gimmicky premise that was stretched out over seven sequels?
