Happy Ace Week, everyone! We have a special episode where we struggle to classify the wonder that is Nude For Satan. Does it even come close to living up to its title? And, more importantly, how awkward will this be? Plus, stay until the end for a new song by our composer, Tarquin Alexandra!

Can a movie described as "trauma fuel" be surprisingly charming? Can peanut butter help regrow lost hair? Why don't Canadians watch our own movies? Find answers to these questions and more in this special episode released in honour of National Canadian Film Day, April 19th!

It seemed like it might be impossible to top the magic of last year's Boxing Day special, A Karate Christmas Miracle. It was. But A Wrestling Christmas Miracle was definitely in line with the feeling of lining up for hours to get into a store for underwhelming savings. And isn't that what Boxing Day is really all about? Join us for this very special episode, our last of 2022. 

You knew we had to do this eventually. For our season finale, we go back to a time before Marvel was everywhere and somebody asked "what if Thor was a furry?".

What if you watched one movie growing up that you knew was terrible even then, but it was one of the only VHS tapes you had so you watched it 112 more times than anyone in the world was meant to? This is probably not a movie that most 90s kids remember or relate to, but this is one such movie for one person, and that's why we're watching Magic in the Mirror. Enjoy.

Every episode, we look for flums, and this time we absolutely found one. Yes, this can legally be called a movie, but it was definitely never meant to actually be viewed by human beings. When Eric Roberts can't even save it, it has to be something exceptional. 

This is a movie that has a kid who farts his way through an operatic career, is put on trial for murder then launches himself into space... But is it actually "bad"? It's time for us to watch Thunderpants and find out.

There's a special section of our dumpster where we sit by the alter of Rev Dave, we sing along to the Newsboys, and ask ourselves what happened to the good Christian movies? God may not be dead, but should this franchise be?

What's more exhausting than a movie about the pandemic? How about a speculative fiction about an endless pandemic with seemingly endless dialogue scenes, an incoherent message about religious persecution and, for some reason, fish graffiti in the woods? Plus: our own predictions for 2025!

We're getting a lot of Pinocchio movies this year, and well... it can only go up from here. We talk about how dubbing can sometimes exist as an almost independent entity, and if this movie is all a contrived effort to go viral on Tiktok. We also feature a brand new song from our amazing composer, in honour of her birthday!

We said we were going to release our episode about Pinocchio: A True Story this week, but that was actually a lie. Our nose hasn't grown, but we do feel bad about letting down our loyal listeners, and we will explain in that episode why. That being said, this episode about a different bizarre dub of a Russian movie is one we're very excited about and hope you enjoy.

Why do the Razzies still exist? Many are asking that question today, and we don't have a great answer, but after watching all of the nominees for this year, we definitely have some thoughts about the Razzies as an institution. Join us for this special episode about the year that was(n't). Note: this episode was recorded before the Bruce Willis news and subsequent Razzies backlash.
