The GBGBs hop out of Litterboxd for a brief detour on a derelict spaceship... This time reviewing 2009's sci-fi horror, PANDORUM! Ben Foster plays an amnesiac worker who crawls out of cryo-sleep to find that his colony ship is not as he remembers. Teamed with his suspicious ship captain played by Dennis Quaid, he must navigate the failing ship while avoiding the hordes of mutated aliens (?) to find out what happened.  This film and its TWISTED ending has long-occupied the minds of the GBGBs, can they get to the bottom of Pandorum?

The GBGBs are BACK in the the Litterbox with a review of the great sequel of a spinoff of a sequel, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)! After using up 8 of his lives, Puss in Boots searches for a fallen wishing star to regain his missing lives while being pursued by the wolf-personification of death. This movie might be one of the greatest Shrek installments ever made.    Also discussed: Fanfic reading, Hulk logistics, and John Mulaney impressions.   Thanks for stopping by!

GREETINGS EARTHLINGS. The GBGBs have arrived to review the 1978 cinema masterpiece, The Cat From Outer Space! When a flying saucer containing an extraterrestrial cat crash lands in Los Angeles, the feline pilot enlists his new human friend Frank to help him finds his way home. Hijinks ensue, the military gets involved, the cat is a psychic telekinetic, sports games are rigged, a 35 min airplane chase unfolds, and the cat learns maybe home is where the tuna is.    Thank for stopping by!

The GBGBs are back with another installment of "Litterboxd", their purr-rific cat-movie marathon! This time they review their first Studio Ghibli movie seen on the show, The Cat Returns (2003). This movie stars GBGB alum Anne Hathaway as Haru, a high school student who is brought to the Cat Kingdom after saving the life of a cat prince. Haru then enlists the help of the dashing debonair cat, The Baron, to help her escape the Cat Kingdom and reverse her transformation into a cat. Me-wow!   Thanks for stopping by!

Now I know what you're thinkin' now. Don't you even think about it. You wanna click this here GBGB episode and try to hear the review of Pet Sematary (1989). I know you wanna listen to more of the Cat Season but it aint right. The episode's gone sour you see? You'll think it's a GBGBs episode but it won't be right. One of the cohosts will have listened to the episode in a different language he doesn't speak (without subtitles??) and the other two will complain about how there wasn't enough of the cat the whole time. But now I've gone and told you and you're thinkin about it alright. Don't say I didn't warn you....   Thanks for stopping by!

Ryan is out of town this week so Jace and Denali take control of the train and drive it straight to WILD WILD WEST (1999)! Once touted as the most expensive film ever made, WWW stars Will Smith and Kevin Kline as special agents charged with thwarting a plot to assassinate the president in a post-civil war steam-punk America. This movie also happens to be one of the biggest box office flops of all time, so 2/3 of the GBGBs decided to have another look at this thing to see if it deserves a second chance (it doesn't).    Thanks for stopping by!

Me-WOW the GBGBs are back with episode 2 of the Cat Season with a review of KEANU (2016). Remember this movie? It's basically a 90 min Key and Peele sketch where two friends try to rescue their new beloved kitty from a ruthless kingpin. The kitten is voiced by GBGBs alum Keanu Reeves, but only for like 3 seconds unlike what the internet told us. The GBGBs also bring back their very ill-advised audio improv segment and discuss whether or not this is a true "Cat Movie" (TM).   Thanks for stopping by!

OH YEAH!! They finally did it folks, the GBGBs are doing a CAT SEASON!! The inaugural episode of "Litterboxd" is our review of the 2003 cinematic masterpiece, The Cat in the Hat, starring Mike Myers as Cat.  Sally and Conrad Walden are just your average kids in the BORING town of Anneville. But when their Mother goes out of the house for the day, they encounter the mysterious semi-omnipotent eldritch being, Cat. Cat gleefully unfurls a Faustian contract to entangle the kids in a bizarre and disturbing web of chaos to show them the excitement they've always wished for. Will the kids banish the Cat back to his dimension before their Mom comes home? Or will the Cat be out of the bag for good? Find out in GBGBs Review: CAT IN THE HAT! OH YEAH!!!   Also discussed: Cat movies as a genre, OH YEAH!!, and whether or not audiences should watch the fan edit.   Thanks for stopping by!

The GBGBs embark on a STRANGE and TWISTED journey into Dark City this week with their watch of.... well... Dark City (1998)! This movie stars Rufus Sewell as Murdoch, a guy with amnesia living in a bizarre dreamlike city ruled by a mysterious secret order called The Strangers. It is often said that this movie set the aesthetic blueprint for movies like The Matrix and Inception, but what do we know?    Also discussed: alien abductions, fish eyesight, psychic battles, and soft-launching a new season??   Thanks for stopping by!

Are you ready to get wild?? Because we're about to pay a visit to Zootopia!  A bustling metropolis filled with businesses, public transit, and municipal bureaucracy! I guess that's not very wild.... But there are animals though! This animated film made a massive splash at the box office in 2016 and we thought it would be a great time to pay it a revisit in light of the recent sequel announcement.   Also discussed: animal nudity rules, Denali's apology to the furry community, copaganda, Zootopia toilet sizes, and who are the carnivores eating??   Thanks for stopping by!

*Apologies for the sound quality this episode, we had lost the original file but used a lower quality backup* Despite mixed results with previous movies, the GBGBs embarked on their 3rd Terry Gilliam project with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)! This movie stars John Neville as our titular Baron who spins a wild tale of his exploits to a beleaguered theater crowd while the Ottoman empire lays siege to their city. To say hijinks ensue would be an understatement. This fella gets into some real wacky stuff. Denali does his best to be fair but did NOT like this watch, but we may have some diverging opinions in the mix this episode.    Also discussed: telling tall tales, how safe are hot air balloons really? and where does this movie fit in the DC Cinematic Universe?   Thanks for stopping by!

YARR CLIMB ABOARD MATEYS!! IT'S TIME FOR THE GBGBS TO REVIEW TREASURE PLANET!! This 2002 animated cult classic is due for a rewatch. It stars Joseph Gordon Levitt as young Jim Hawkins, a teen troublemaker who is whisked away on an interstellar adventure in search of the loot of a thousand worlds!   Also discussed: pirate economics, cat-human hybrids, and wearing tuxedos at a Benihana.   Thanks for stopping by!

The GBGBs return to review another Ryan favorite, Eyes Wide Shut (1999)! This movie stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as a young married couple navigating their relationship while Tom stumbles into a strange seedy underbelly that he can't seem to stay away from..... EWS is also known as Stanley Kubrick's last film and is HOTLY debated amongst critics. Will the GBGBs like this movie even though it runs almost 3 hours? Will they get to the bottom of this strange mystery? Find out in GBGBs review: EYES WIDE SHUT   Thanks for stopping by!

This week the GBGBs review The Last Stop in Yuma County, a neat lil indie flick starring Jim Cummings. The movie is about a traveling knife salesman getting trapped at a diner with a pair of bank robbers and a handful of locals and hijinks ensue. If any folks want to actually see this movie, we'd recommend NOT watching the trailer and going in cold.    Also discussed: heists, exploding dye-packs in money bags, and the history of the Ford Pinto.    Thanks for stopping by!  

AWOOOO it's a werewolf episode!!! Dog Soldiers is a Bri'ish film that stars a lot of proper blokes like Kevin Mckidd and Liam Cunningham. It's about a team of soldiers trying to survive an attack by a pack of werewolves while on a training exercise in the Scottish Highlands. Listen as the GBGBs discuss werewolf mechanics, whether they'd choose to be a werewolf if given the chance, and novel uses of the word "bone".  *Apologies for the audio this week, we had some issues recovering our files and had to use a lower quality backup audio* Thanks for stopping by!
