Season 2017 - Episode 16 - Aired 12/19/2017
* we weren't really sponsored by Fandango... In this special episode Rich, Mike, and Jay talk about the Last Jedi. A movie that's complex, but subtle. Beautiful, yet awkward, clunky and unfunny. Good, yet very bad. Also while discussing the bombing raid on the Dreadnought. Mike talks about a Star Trek Voyager episode coincidentally called "Dreadnought". Please comment about that below... if you were cool enough to know that awesome fact!!!

#3 - Strange Darling
Season 2024 - Episode 10 - Aired 8/24/2024
Movies. What is they? A series of images accompanied by sound and music to tell a story. Who makes them? Artists? Clowns? Men and/or Women? Beef? A.I.s will soon make them and everything else and that's when the wars start. Save antibiotics and anti-radiation pills. Invest in canned food and shotguns. Build a fence around your property with barbed wire even though your elderly neighbors tell you it's an "eye sore". Tell them, "First A.I.s will make an episode of Spongebob Squarepants and next they'll be coming to harvest your organs for Chinese billionaire gangsters on the black market through the dark web". I found the site already. It's called www.crackerguts.com. On the site is a photo of my fat face with a caption that reads: We want everything but your liver. But I digress. Today Mike and Jar went BACK to the Monkeypox filled movie theaters to watch "Strange Darling", the new film starring Kyle Gallner (pronounced Gouwlinger) and others.

#9 - I Love My Dad, Watcher and Vengeance
Season 2022 - Episode 12 - Aired 8/25/2022
There comes a time in two men's lives when they never watch The Batman. That time is now. Instead, these strapping young gentlemeeps watched three films that lay somewhere in the middle of the movie-greatness spectrum. Watcher, I Love My Dad and Vengeance. Three movies you may have heard of or seen available on your streaming servonk. These moopies are entertaining, interesting, lovable and sometimes flawed. But isn't that everyone of we? Does not pirate them. Support filmmakers making something other than Game of Thrones prequels or billion dollar Lord of the Rings prequels or whatever sharts are coming out soon (except for the upcoming 96th season of Ghost Adventures where the gang is sure to find their most compelling evidence yet!) Anyways, watch moopies that make you think. Make you feel scared. Or make you horribly uncomfortable. Everyday doesn't have to be a Tums festival but everyday can be a lovely day where you give a little indie movie a chance.

#11 - Presence (And the Current State of Movie Theaters)
Season 2025 - Episode 2 - Aired 3/14/2025
Tell me about it! It's Presence! The new film from retired director Steven Soderbergh! But by the time THIS review comes out he will have had a new film already! Finally! Morbidly Obese Midwest Mike™ and Jamaica Jerk Chicken Jay™ review a film that many have slandered as lame and boring because they have to watch it. Or because it's a ghost movie with no loud creep-out™ sounds. Certainly a lacking of spooky clowns. A horror film where a camera man walks around the house and films people talking in rooms. Every so often something shakes or a crazy 90's skateboard kid tries to roofie someone (must have watched too many episodes of The Cosby Show!) or Lucy Lu is doing shady shit on her laptop, having an affair, or belittling ghosts. That sullen daughter is moping about while the Dad who seemingly has no job but to tell painters what to paint and where. How does these weirdos afford this nice ass house with no jobs and poor paint choice? That sweet kitchen island tho. Nice appliances.

#16 - A Minecraft Movie
Season 2025 - Episode 3 - Aired 4/5/2025
We saw The Minecraft Movie! Correction: we saw A Minecraft Movie. This movie is a Minecraft movie, because someone had to make it. It stars Jack Black because of course it does. In the film, lights and colors appear on the screen and people in the audience laugh when characters say that their butt hurts. It is truly a magical time at the cinema and we can only hope that this Minecraft Movie is not the only Minecraft Movie.

What the heck is a Naruto run? I keep seeing comments that the kids in Weapons do the "Naruto run" when they leave their houses. Is this some kind of anime crap? Keep those filthy anime comparisons out of our comments section. We don't need that pervert filth around here. If you leave a comment about a Naruto run, we're going to email you a computer virus. Anyway speaking of pervert filth, we're here today to talk about the new film from the director of Barbarian!
#21 - 2025 Mid-Year Catch-up
Season 2025 - Episode 5 - Aired 7/2/2025
Tell me about it, sailor! Hi, I’m Krebs Gorlon and I’m currently on sabbatical from my career as a window to window vacuum cleaner salesman so I’m writing you this intro. Yes, you heard me right. I sell vacuum cleaners via windows. I knock. I peek. Sometimes I break the glass. People stopped answering their doors for salesmen years ago, so I decided to take a new approach. Windows! Sure, they scream. They point firearms at me. They say they are going to call the police. And things get really weird when I try to climb into their windows, especially the bathroom windows. But do they buy a vacuum? They sure don’t! That’s why I’m on sabbatical. I mean that’s why I was fired. Mike and Jay pay me 12 cents a word to write intros to their videos (hence the length). So in this video Mike and Jay are back in the VCR repair shop to have another wacky adventure and to recap just a few films they saw recently.
#22 - Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 2
Season 2024 - Episode 13 - Aired 11/8/2024
Mike and Jay are modern day circus clowns. Just uglier and stupider. They are here for you today to talk about movies no one will remember in two months. This is the second half of the top ten horror movies seen by Mike and Jay in the first part of the second half of the year. If you understood that give yourself a pat on the back because I didn't. Point is: Here's a bunch of recently released films that these two old clown-farts will yammer on about giving you their ill-gotten and half-wit opinions on. Mike seems to be the dumber of the two. What kind of man watches the AfrAId movie? What kind of man watches Blumhouse trash when he can be doing things like going to the gym to lose an excess 90 pounds? Wait till he finds out Speak No Evil was distributed by Blumhouse! He'll feel so stupid then! Why no one call it Dumbhouse yet? NO ONE THINKS ODF THAT? Jay likes the Substance because of course he does.
#23 - Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 1
Season 2024 - Episode 12 - Aired 10/23/2024
Halloween. What is it? A celebration of all things spooky, scary, and macabre. Are all horror movies Halloween movies? No. Are all Halloween movies horror movies? Yes. Except for stupid kids movies. In America we celebrate Halloween on October 31st. In Canada they celebrate Halloween on May 11th the day after Queen’s Day and the day before Boxing Day. In England they called Halloween “Pumpkin Eve” and when little kids ring the doorbells they say, “Trick or Teeth”. Folks hand out a trick or toothpaste (called teethpaste north of Buckinghampshire not not as far south as Willhubsmanfeld upon Blumberston”. In North Korea Halloween is called Thursday. But Americans invented the horror film. The first horror film ever made was 1997’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and since then it’s been an amazing journey of terror and screams for you to annoy your religious Grandparents with. Tell them you’re putting on The Last Temptation of Christ and play Terrorizer 3.
