Comin' At Ya - Oh, I guess you already left the theater 1:20:55

22d ago1:20:55

1:20:55

If you've ever wanted to have a bunch of random stuff coming at you, well this is for you. Not so much for anyone else though. "Comin' At Ya!" is an odd entry into the world of Spaghetti Westerns, one that leans heavily on its 3D gimmicks to differentiate itself from the pack. However, once you strip away the over-the-top, in-your-face 3D stunts, w…

Split Second - Somehow the Villain's confusing Venom look is only the fifth nuttiest thing 1:50:53

16h ago1:50:53

1:50:53

Gee, I don't know. Who could it be...? Could it be....SATAN???? Look, if you're going to watch Split Second, leave logic at the door, forget everything you know about biology, physics, or coherent storytelling, and just hold on for one wild, wonderfully ludicrous ride. This movie is a masterclass in "so bad it's good" cinema, a staggering tribute t…

Hobgoblins - Making Munchie and Trumpy Look Good Since 1988 1:20:50

8d ago1:20:50

1:20:50

Well, you could always just lock the door that contains aliens hell-bent on destroying lives, MacCready. Hobgoblins (1988) is the kind of classic cinematic disaster that bad movie connoisseurs dream of. It’s a true gem in the "so-bad-it's-good" genre, serving up every ridiculous trope you could hope for with a straight face. The budget is, to put i…

Audition (1999) 1:34:16

1:34:16

It's spooky season and Dixon's worst nightmares have come to fruition: He was unable to podcast due to scheduling conflicts, so John and Ryan are taking over! The duo has watched Takashi Miike's Audition (1999) and now they must bare (and share) the trauma with the world. Join us as we walk confidently up to the microphone, state our names for the …

Splatter University - Student Debt Just Went Up 1:20:12

15d ago1:20:12

1:20:12

Sure, it's super budget and leads with a crazy murder theme but that's not enough to stay in the game. "Splatter University" starts with a flash of promise, diving right into the action with a bloody opening scene that hints at a thrilling ride ahead. Unfortunately, that promise quickly fizzles out, and what follows is an hour and a half of filler …

Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 1:32:54

Join us on this hot, sweaty afternoon for a thorough discussion of Al Pacino's gripping performance in Sidney Lumet's classic hostage thriller Dog Day Afternoon (1975).Από τον Dixon, John, and Anatole

1:04:56

Another recommend or refute coming at you! Ryan tells us the tale of his family pick The School for Good and Evil (2022). Dixon tells about how much he loves Sam Jackson's dingus (story) and the unique viewing experience he had with The Hateful Eight (2015). And John discovered the remains of Sphere (1998) at the bottom of a mental barrel and decid…

If Looks Could Kill - Well, LA Looks CAN kill 1:26:38

1M ago1:26:38

1:26:38

Grieco didn't need sticky spy shoes. He could have just used his hair gel to stick to any wall. "If Looks Could Kill" starring Richard Grieco is a delightful surprise that defies expectations in the best way possible. Known for his more serious and brooding roles, Grieco takes a refreshing turn in this zany action-comedy, delivering a performance t…

Hundreds of Beavers (2024) 1:08:38

1M ago1:08:38

1:08:38

Welcome to Afterthoughts! Join us as we discuss the time Ryan got lost in the woods and had a hilarious encounter with Hundreds of Beavers (2024). This modern slapstick extravaganza is basically what would happen if Charlie Chaplin did Paul Thomas Anderson levels of cocaine and then tried to make a live action version of a Wile E. Coyote episode. I…

Jackpot - Grand Death Lotto is a better movie, Rockstar! 1:22:48

1M ago1:22:48

1:22:48

They put commercials on this platform and we then give us this garbage? Maybe time to switch to cable.... "Jackpot" (2024) is an absolute disaster from the get-go. The plot is so implausible that it feels like it couldn't exist in any universe, let alone ours. Nothing about it makes sense, and from the opening scenes, you're left scratching your he…

Recommend or Refute | Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024), Blood Cult (1985), and Little Miss Sunshine (2006) 1:08:39

1M ago1:08:39

1:08:39

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Dixon brings Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger, a documentary that --despite his opinions of England-- has impressed him with its historic insights and its Scorsese affiliation. As far as you know, John brings the first horror movie "made for home video audiences" (as far as we know) with B…

Thunder - Why'd you take his pants off, Thunder? 1:37:29

2M ago1:37:29

1:37:29

You can't put lipstick on a pig but you can wear its eyebrows and escape the law! *"Thunder" (1984) is one of those films that's so bad it's almost good. From the over-the-top acting to the bizarre plot, it's a movie that knows how to entertain, even if it's not in the way it intended. The acting is hilariously exaggerated, with characters deliveri…

JFK (1991) 2:03:05

2M ago2:03:05

2:03:05

You may remember that there was a recent assassination attempt on a former president. Or you may have forgotten already thanks to the terrifying pace of the modern news cycle. Either way, Dixon decided to pull us down into the mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma that is Oliver Stone's 1991 thriller JFK.…

Final Justice - A cheap trip to Malta is to just do murder there. 1:28:42

2M ago1:28:42

1:28:42

You think you can take me? Well go ahead on and watch this stinker from Greydon Clark. "Final Justice" (1984) is a film that occupies a peculiar space in the action genre, and how much you'll enjoy it hinges heavily on your tolerance for low-budget absurdity. At the center of this bizarre movie is Joe Don Baker's portrayal of Thomas Jefferson Geron…

2M ago41:37

41:37

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, John is Comin' At Ya (1985) with a 3D movie that is so pumped full of visual dimensions it might've forgotten about its character dimensions, Ryan catches us up on a new fantasy anime that reflects on an unconventional hero's journey with Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2024), and Dixon continues the Lily Glad…

Tarot - A wet torn bag of chips covered in runny dookie 1:41:16

2M ago1:41:16

1:41:16

A great movie if you're part of the "under the sweater/over the bra" crowd, but even they won't remember that they saw it. Tarot (2024) is an absolute masterclass in how not to make a horror movie unless you are just providing background noise for teenagers to make out. If you ever wondered what happens when you throw every horror cliché, plot hole…

Conquest - Someone just give those pooches a home! 1:44:51

2M ago1:44:51

1:44:51

The Lucio Fulci movie that more people should be talking about may just be so weird its good? "Conquest" is one of those bizarre gems that defies logic, reason, and possibly all known laws of filmmaking. From the opening frame, you're catapulted into a world where absolutely nothing makes sense—and that's the beauty of it. The plot (if you can call…

2M ago51:05

51:05

From classics to cultural to pop cultural, this Recommend or Refute rounds the bases to deliver discussions from the Australian outback's Mad Max 2 (1981), Osmane Sembène's snapshot of a post-colonial Senegal with Mandabi (1968), and the Canadian insanity invading the United States in Tom Greene's Freddy Got Fingered (2001). There's definitely some…

Hedwig and The Angry Inch (2001) 1:16:35

1:16:35

We're riding the musical bandwagon now, following our recent episode on Encanto the Afterthoughts crew steps into a much more adult themed musical in the form of John Cameron Mitchell's intimate comedy musical Hedwig and The Angry Inch (2001). Much like Hedwig herself, this film discussion goes on a tour with several unexpected stops. Join Dixon, R…

Robowar - So it's not a ripoff of West Side Story, I guess 1:33:14

3M ago1:33:14

1:33:14

Stick around or don't move, but Reb Brown is gonna give you the laughs. "Robowar" (1988) is a cinematic masterpiece of unintentional hilarity. This unapologetic rip-off of "Predator" is an absolute must-watch for fans of 'so bad it's good' cinema. From the moment Reb Brown graces the screen with his over-the-top action antics and unintentionally co…

Encanto (2021) 1:26:10

3M ago1:26:10

1:26:10

On this very family-friendly episode of Afterthoughts, Ryan's daughter Ella joins the usual crew to share her disdain for Encanto (2021). Will the entire table be down on Disney or is there a faint flicker of favoritism burning in this discussion? It would take a miracle to sway Dixon's feelings on Lin Manuel Miranda, but this might be the episode …

Twisters - Nados coming again, Oklahoma! 1:41:09

3M ago1:41:09

1:41:09

Just because it doesn't have a story or characters or any basis in reality doesn't mean its bad, right? "Twisters" (2024) is a whirlwind of nostalgic fun that takes you back to the golden era of 90's blockbusters. While it may lack a compelling story, character depth, and a meaningful journey, it's a film that embraces its cheesy charm with gusto. …

Join us as John unpacks Abel Ferrara's Dangerous Game (1993) starring Harvey Keitel and Madonna, Dixon breaks down the trippy John Frankenheimer sci-fi classic Seconds (1966) starring Rock Hudson, and Ryan talks through the new Pixar movie Inside Out 2 (2024).…

Junior - The dog's name was Junior 1:40:53

3M ago1:40:53

1:40:53

"High Concept" apparently means "really stupid and poorly thought out". Junior (1994) is a film that desperately tries to blend comedy, science fiction, and social commentary but ends up being a tedious and unenjoyable mess. Despite the star power of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, and Emma Thompson, this movie falls flat in nearly every aspec…

High Noon (1952) 1:12:50

3M ago1:12:50

1:12:50

Meet us on Main Street when the sun reaches its highest point to discuss the controversial 1952 western High Noon, starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. Hated by John Wayne, revered by US presidents, and acclaimed as one of the greatest American westerns of all time, does High Noon resonate with the Afterthoughts crew? It's a bit of a mixed bag.…

On this two-person episode of Afterthoughts, John and Dixon record an extended discussion of Kinds of Kindness (2024). Originally it was planned to be a Recommend or Refute entry, but with the amount of thoughts we had after seeing the film merited something more. Love it or hate it, join John and Dixon for a recap and discussion on the latest film…

State Park - The summer version of ski movies 1:31:57

4M ago1:31:57

1:31:57

For an 80's boobie movie, this sure does feel wholesome somehow. "State Park," the 1988 comedy that has quietly garnered a dedicated cult following over the years, stands out as a delightful anomaly in the landscape of 80s teen comedies. This movie, often described as a summer version of the era's quintessential skiing flicks, turns all the expecte…

R.O.T.O.R. - Coldyron, you're one tough cop/doctor/engineer/rancher/captain/cowboy/philosopher! 1:59:40

4M ago1:59:40

1:59:40

So this entire movie is just being recounted during a police interrogation? Face it, R.O.T.O.R. is one of the best bad movies there is. "R.O.T.O.R." is a cinematic gem that defies all conventional standards of quality to deliver an experience so bad it's absolutely good. This 1980s sci-fi action flick is a masterclass in unintentional comedy and be…

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Ryan sneaks in a twofer with his tribute watches of the River Phoenix vehicles Explorers (1985) and Stand By Me (1986), John tells us all about The Invention of Lying (2009) but will he tell the truth when it comes to recommending or refuting it? Finally, Dixon closes out the discussion by talking about Nothi…

A Family Affair - Not even white noise is this unremarkable 1:31:06

4M ago1:31:06

1:31:06

I'm sorry, I already forgot everything about this movie. And so will you. "A Family Affair" (2024) is a film that struggles to rise above mediocrity in almost every aspect. From its trite and mundane script to its overall tone and feel, which screams Hallmark Original, this movie is a disappointment on multiple levels. The plot is as predictable as…

1:16:17

Don't go running in the park at night! It's not smart! If you ever find yourself yearning for a film that epitomizes the phrase "so bad it's good," look no further than the 1984 classic Alley Cat. This cinematic gem stars Karin Mani as Billie, a karate black belt street justice fighter whose commitment to poor decision-making is nothing short of le…

On our 100th episode of Afterthoughts, Ryan and John celebrate by bringing a bunch of questions and complaints to the table regarding Netflix's top 2 films of May: Madame Web (2024) and Atlas (2024). But do the two trash fiends bring recommendations with them? Is Dixon the only hope to bring classy and cultured content with Sidney Poitier's directo…

Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator - Boot Betty in the Bunsen Burner 1:22:07

4M ago1:22:07

1:22:07

Did Stephanie ever have to worry about the incinerator? "Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator" is a delightful surprise that defies all expectations. As someone who was anticipating the typical over-the-top antics synonymous with Troma releases, I was completely taken aback by the film's unique charm. This movie is not just another exploitative romp;…

This episode isn't a hoax or a prank, it's just a regular Recommend or Refute episode. Why would we open with that? Well, when John brings Thank You Very Much (2023), a biographical documentary about Andy Kaufman, we feel obligated to emphasize that we aren't trying to fool anyone with the rest of our picks. Sure, Ryan did bring something called Sp…

Madame Web - Failed to predict my devastating boredom 1:56:34

5M ago1:56:34

1:56:34

Look into your future and see if you're gonna be in any other movies. Looks bleak! "Madame Web" is a masterclass in how not to make a superhero movie or really any movie for that matter. From start to finish, it's a torturous slog through wooden acting, a plot riddled with more holes than Swiss cheese, and an antagonist so one-dimensional and impla…

Thrill as J-Lo complains in a chair in front of green screen for 45 minutes. That butt, tho.... "Atlas," starring Jennifer Lopez, aims to be a thrilling sci-fi adventure but ultimately lands in the realm of forgettable mediocrity. The plot, which revolves around a dystopian future and a battle for humanity's survival, is riddled with flaws and hole…

Robot Jox - This Jox's for you 1:40:36

5M ago1:40:36

1:40:36

Less people get sat on by robots in war, I guess. So Robot Jox is a conglomeration of many other staples in 1989. You've got a post-apocalyptic setting thanks to the Cold War. You've got a sports related global event ala Rollerball, Deathrace 2000, Running Man, et. al. And you've got robots fighting ala Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. Ok, maybe the last …

This is a Recommend or Refute with plenty of tangents. Prepare yourself to wade through the quagmire of mixed feelings as Ryan whips up a special chocolate covered condemnation of the latest Charlie & The Chocolate Factory film companion with Wonka (2023). Dixon talks about Civil War (2024), not actual Civil War though. John leads the crew on an ex…

1:41:13

The Highlander theatrical cannon comes to a close...by making all the same mistakes as the first two movies and we can't thank them enough for it. Highlander: Final Dimensions is a rollercoaster of absurdity that somehow manages to entertain despite its sheer ridiculousness. From the mind-boggling plot that's as convoluted as a tangled ball of yarn…

Dixon and John have returned --with special guest Parker-- to serve up some fresh picks for the dwindling watchlists out there. Prohibition may be over, but the legends it spawned live on in The Roaring Twenties (1939), and Dixon is going to dish on all of it while somehow managing to never work in references to the Simpsons episode we're all think…
