We bought 3,120 DVDs on a whim. Now we're watching them one by one, and reviewing them... badly.
It's been a minute since our last episode, so we have many movies to review for your listening pleasure. We begin with Uncle Peckerhead, Nacho Libre, Black Bear, End of Days Inc., Willy's Wonderland, and the entire Wrong Turn Cinematic Universe. And if that wasn't enough, we still watched two DVDs from the actual collection: Freddy Vs. Jason, and one of our 14 copies of Superbad.
After much hiatus, we are back. Yet somehow, we barely watched any movies so we manage to stuff not two, but four main features into this episode. All but one of the movies we watched (including non-features) were rated R, but we seriously question the rating system at this point. From outside the collection, we watched Nina Forever, Letters to Satan Claus, Red Dog, and Psycho Goreman. For the main features, we review Eastern Promises, Hide and Seek(aka Cord), Red Eye and Hot Shots.
This week Jen is fed up with all the movies that include the line "what is this place," which early estimates show is about 66.6% of all movies. From outside of the DVD collection, we watched Castle Freak (2020), Spare Parts, The Special, Freaky, and also a buck-wild documentary called Tickled. Our main feature is a Robert Rodriguez double-feature with two polar opposite movies: Planet Terror and Spy Kids 3D: Game Over. Take a wild guess which one of those we liked better.
We are back from hiatus and have a stack of mostly 90's movies to review. First, we discuss the Canadian TV series Monster Warriors because holy crap you guys, you've gotta watch at least some of it. Then, we talk about Idiocracy, Urban Legend, Monstrous, It Cuts Deep, and probably some others but who remembers. For the main feature, we discuss FUBAR fairly briefly and do a deep dive on a sweet little gem called Point of No Return.
We love it when all of the movies we watch coincidentally tie together somehow. This week, the theme is SEX! We watched Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, Scream Queen, Crash, and the outlier was Max Reload and the Nether Blasters. For the main features, we watched Manhunter and then promptly became the authoritative experts on Step Up 2 The Streets. Should it be read as "Step Up 2: The Streets" or "Step Up to the Streets?" Tune in to find out!
Darcy and Devon from Dead Prairies Productions talk B-List horror. We talk about some of our favorite experiences with B-List movies, video rental stores and horror conventions. Devon's B-List pick is Leprechaun which you can stream on Tubi, Darcy's B-List pick the elusive Frankenstein's Army which can be rented on YouTube. If you like this episode let us know, we could make this a regular thing.Huge thank you to Alien To The Ignorant for allowing us to use their song Change Caused Tragedy as the intro and outro for this episode
Jen's podcasting ability continues to decline and Darcy is forced to carry the show. However, we did watch some fun stuff this week. From outside "the Collection," we watched The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Love and Monsters, Class Action Park, Troll 2, and Under ConTroll. Then for the main features we watched two movies that are mostly set in shopping malls: Dawn of the Dead and Clueless.
This week there is something wrong with Darcy and Jen is unusually jaded. We discuss Head of the Family, Antebellum, Save Yourselves! and Leprechaun. Actually, we don't really discuss Leprechaun so much as Jen just berates it. Then for our main feature we review Pokemon: Mewtwo Returns as well as Insomnia.
This week has been quite the ride for us movie wise. We started with Glenn Danzig's Verotika, then dove into Barbie and Kendra Save the Tiger King, both of which you should definitely watch. Then Darcy watched The Keep by himself and it sounds like that was for the best, and then we watched 1979's Prophecy together. This one is a sleeper and might as well be the main feature of the episode for us, so definitely check it out on Youtube. For the actual main feature, we watched From Hell, and The Onion Movie.
Well we skipped a week but we are back with some weird ones! We watched Samurai Cop 2, Tread, Bad Moon, Terraformars, Intersect, and Host, from outside the collection. Then for our main features we watched Let the Right One In, as well as the much-anticipated Neil Patrick Harris Mullet, aka Stranger in the Family.
By sheer chance, Jen managed to pick two Val Kilmer movies for this week's main features. Naturally, Darcy decided that an education in Val Kilmer's entire career was in order, so he selected the choicest cuts to make this the most Val Kilmer-y week of them all. We discuss Top Secret! Tombstone, Batman Forever, The Saint, and MacGruber in addition to our main features Red Planet, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Apparently the random-DVD-picking gods decided that we needed even more vampires in our lives, so we went from Cold Boi Vampires, to Warm Boi ones. But first, we discuss two important movies that aren't from our terrible collection: Snatchers, and Destroyer. We do our best to avoid spoiling them because you should probably check them out. For the main course, we have two movies where actors can't commit to one freaking accent: Varsity Blues, and Queen of the Damned.
We forgot to release this episode in a timely manner, and now we can't even remember what movies we discussed. Darcy watched Deep Blue Sea 3 and Black Water Abyss by himself like a weirdo, and we also watched Strange Wilderness together. Then for our main feature we strap ourselves in for some truly stellar acting in Lost In Space, and chase it down with 30 Days of Night.
A tasty little podcast snack where you can find out what movies we have tabled for the next exciting episode!
It's been another wild week in the house of 3120 DVDs. First, we discuss the fresh new mini-series Lovecraft Country, then we dive into some utterly ridiculous but mostly fun films, including Alien Raiders, Hunting Grounds, and The Love Witch. That last one turns out to be pretty polarizing for us, and Jen has no idea how or why she got so worked up. Then into the actual collection of DVD's, we pulled up a gem from the Goosebumps series: The Ghost Next Door, which surprisingly holds up. Finally, we also review each of the seven episodes of Family Guy on Season 1, disc 1.
The past two weeks were slow for movies for us, but we managed to squeak in a couple from outside our collection and scrape together a triple feature for the main event. From beyond the pit of despair (aka the infamous DVD collection), we watched Burning Bright and Primal Rage, both of which we think are worth a watch. Then for the main feature we got a double dose of Muppets: The Muppets Take Manhattan as well as Muppets From Space. To round things out on a completely different note we finished with 2008's Changeling, which is based on a true story. Fun fact: Jen didn't know who Angelina Jolie was until we watched this movie.
This week we welcome guest Dwight Frye who has watched Dead Man on Campus every day for over 100 days in a row now, and he wasn't even forced into it. Obviously we talk at length about that one, but we also discuss cosmic horror movie Mandy, as well as 2019's Clownado, which is exactly what you think it is and you should definitely watch it.
What an emotional ride we've had this week! From social media distancing to making decisions for Michelle Mylett, all the way to spilled ice cream. From outside our collection, we watched It Comes at Night, Palm Springs, and Wolf. Plus we discuss two games that are also movies: The Complex, and Erika. Then for our main features we review the lowly-acclaimed Bride Wars, followed by Vantage Point.
We're trying this standalone preview format again - let us know if you like these trailers as individual episodes, or just added onto the end of a regular episode. Or let us know whatever else you think. Anyway, tune in to find out what's on the agenda for next week so you can watch the movies in advance, or you know, not do that.
This episode is just one train derailment after another. Jen is reduced to uttering squeaks and Darcy goes on a rant or two about shitty movie characters. We discuss Hell Comes to Frogtown, The Terror Within, and The Crush, before digging deep into our first main feature, The Notebook. For our second feature we dig much less deep - or is it more shallow? - into Little Miss Sunshine. Both main features bring up some shit you wish you didn't know about Jen and Darcy explains how Little Miss Sunshine is really just the sequel to The Notebook. Side note, you may not believe us but we were neither drunk nor high when we recorded this episode. Seriously.
Just when we thought we didn't watch very many movies this week, we suddenly remember all the movies we watched this week. Up for review this episode we have: I Spit on Your Grave- Deja Vu; The Art of Self Defense; Trench 11; The Last Days on Mars; Jason X; The Lodge; and Alligator. For our main feature, we sink our teeth into a movie we've discussed briefly on the show before: Scare Package, which is now available on Shudder.
It took us two weeks to watch enough movies to do an episode, but it was worth it. And no trash! But that's because we didn't watch any of our DVDs. What we did watch was: Session 9, Blue Monkey, Grabbers, and Gretel and Hansel. And of course, our main feature which Darcy watched thrice and Jen watched twice: Bear With Us. Seriously, if you haven't watched Bear With Us yet, do so before you listen to this episode. It's our new favourite, or at least within the confines.
In the midst of the current civil rights movement, we struggle to come up with the words that need to be said. Ultimately, it isn't our voices that need to be heard right now, so if you skip our content in order to seek out something more relevant and meaningful, we support you. At the start of the episode, we shout out some of the folks who are making a difference. However, we also recognize that entertainment is still important, so we decided to carry on and the bulk of this episode is indeed our dumb asses reviewing movies. We discuss Hunter's Moon, Arcade, Becky, and Bear With Us, before getting to our main feature: Ella Enchanted. Oh yeah, and also Romantic Paradise, which was not at all what we were expecting.
Friends, we have figured it out. This whole podcast is actually mapping our progress towards completing a 3120 piece puzzle, and by the end of it we will see how every single movie ties together. This week we discuss Strange Nature, Tropic Thunder, After Midnight and Source of Shadows, before diving into our main features: In Good Company and School of Rock.
Jen feels herself getting dumber and Darcy has become obsessed with product placement in movies. We watched Scoob, Blood Machines, and Solar Opposites, and those last two aren't even movies! A few awkward segues later, we dive into our main features: Black Dynamite and I Am Sam.
Jen forgot to append this to the last episode, so it gets its own standalone episode. In less than 4 minutes we tell you which movies we are pulling out of the collection next, and Jen tries to guess what they are going to be about.
We couldn't think of a title for this week's episode, and realized that it's probably because the movies weren't particularly polarizing this time. We managed to find ourselves a couple of extra-medium movies, for once. Aside from the DVD collection we watched WolfCop, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and Coronazombies. These are not extra-medium movies, check them out. Or don't, see if we care. Then on the extra-medium feature table we have two single-word titles: Argo, and Election. Medium-ness fully achieved.
Welcome to our gratuitous zombie episode! Rather than watch some more garbage DVDs from our collection, we(Darcy) decided it was time for a palate cleanser. And Jen somehow paid enough attention to remember the names of all the movies, plus a few scattered details of the plots of some of them! We review Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, One Cut of the Dead, Rhymes for Young Ghouls, and the freshly-released Blood Quantum. We were even considerate enough to give a spoiler-free chat about Blood Quantum before issuing a spoiler warning and diving into more detail, just in case you're on the fence about watching it for some reason.
We are back from hiatus and bringing more energy than ever with our fancy standing desk! It's been awhile, and we've watched many films since our last episode, mostly from outside our DVD collection. We discuss Hard Candy, Underwater, Bad Boys for Life, The Nightingale, Lake Placid, The Invisible Man, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Fantasy Island, Forbidden World, Porno, The Boat, and Species. Finally, after all that, we grudgingly relive the discomfort of our two feature DVD's: Big Momma's House, and Valentine's Day. Listen to find out which one was worse!
At long last, our collection of DVDs has given us a true gem, a pivotal film in the history of cinema. That treasured classic, Paul Blart: Mall Cop. But instead of watching the DVD by ourselves like a couple of losers, we watched this via Netflix Party with some friends, and two of those friends joined us for the podcast. We recorded it live so you may hear some references to the livestream and the kind folks who joined us for it. Also, this episode is either our most entertaining one to date, or our very worst. Please tell us which, but only if it's the first one.
This week we share some details about Darcy's new business venture, which is super cool. Then we talk about Guns Akimbo, Final Destination and an utterly weird piece of film called Tetsuo the Iron Man. After that we dive into the DVD's we plucked from the collection this week, Snatch and Enemy at the Gates.
We just got back from vacation so we spend much of the episode talking about that instead of the terrible movies we watched. Ok, there was one good one, Holidays, but obviously that wasn't part of our DVD collection. The two DVDs we reviewed are Miss Congeniality 2, and the widely-hated Dragonball Evolution.
Well we just couldn't let this opportunity pass us by. Episode 69 is here and we watched two fantastic XXX parody movies, Game of Bones and Clerks XXX. For reasons we can't remember, we also go to great lengths to make this our one, and only, family-friendly episode. Please enjoy (at your own risk).
Strap yourselves in, folks, this one's a drinking episode. For once, Darcy has no idea what to say and Jen is not at all prepared to carry the show. What did we watch this week? Jen sure doesn't remember. At some point we review Along Came Polly, and then mercifully, we wrap up our series on the worst DVD's ever made, aka Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage.
We watched a whole bunch of stuff this week and most of it didn't suck. But we also watched Bagdad Cafe and well... we honestly think we could do better. Mercifully, that DVD stopped working about 2/3 through, so then we plucked Spy Game out of the collection instead to do a proper review of that. Then we settle in for the slog that is Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage, Part 3. No laughs were had, but many flaws were pointed out and hopefully our review results in laughs for you!
This episode goes all kinds of directions. We discuss the movies that Jen doesn't remember watching, as well as Batman: Under the Red Hood, and another installment of Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage.
It's been a rough week over here in our house, one of those weeks where we watched a bunch of things so you don't have to. Even the movies we watched that AREN'T part of our 3120 mistakes were unable to wash the sour taste from our mouths. We discuss the horrendous "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage," followed by "Lost in Translation." But we also pitch an amazing movie/pyramid scheme idea that is sure to make you rich! So, you know, listen to this episode for that, if nothing else.
To clarify, and keep us out of podcast trouble, we don't actually say the "N" word on this episode, but we DID watch a movie that used it a lot. In fact, most of the dialogue was completely unintelligible besides that one word. Turns out, Men of Honor is a Navy movie and not about slum lords at all like Jen predicted. We also watched Indiana Jones and something to do with a Crystal Skull, but we spend much more time telling you about some other movies we watched this week from outside of our collection that were actually good.
This episode was supposed to be part of the last episode but we did some miscalculations. Anyway, the random number generator gave us "Riding in Cars With Boys" and our friend Bobby agreed to watch it as well, so he joined us for this episode. And what a ride it was! This movie has so much to talk about, but yet it's so hard to talk about. This might be a good one to watch before you listen to the episode, if you haven't seen it already.
This week we welcome a special guest, Devon from Dead Prairies Productions! Dead Prairies is a Saskatchewan based group that produces low budget horror movies and donates profits to their local SPCA, so naturally we were drawn to them. Devon tells us some great stories, and we also discuss dogs and B-list horror movies, before we review 1997's Jack Frost.
We discovered a complete zombie trilogy amidst our collection of 3120 DVDs: 28 Days, 28 Days Later, and 28 Weeks Later. So naturally, we decided to review them all in one episode. You all knew that the Sandra Bullock one was a zombie movie, right? Right. We also quickly review the slew of Christmas horror movies that we watched over the holidays, and Jen has completely forgotten most of them, while somehow remembering a movie that she definitely has not seen.
We have started ripping off another Saskatchewan-based podcast, The Terror Table, for the way they discuss their/our sponsor. We also dive into listener stories about their worst movie experiences, and tell some stories of our own. Then we briefly discuss the good movies we watched this week before we reluctantly share our review of Fred Claus.
This episode is late because we watched a movie so incredibly terrible that we just couldn't bring ourselves to dedicate an entire episode to it. So we took some extra time to watch a much better movie, Honeymoon, and we talk about that and some music to get our spirits up. Then we come crashing back down when we can no longer delay our review of The Answerman. If you saw this movie and liked it, please tell us why, because we have absolutely no idea who this is for.
This week we were struck by the realization that our collection of DVDs would be insanely expensive to buy new, and we also didn't have to watch anything truly insufferable. We review Wedding Crashers and Knocked Up, plus we also talk about horror movies Ready or Not, and the original Black Christmas.
We just survived the Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival and we wanna talk about it! 20 movies over six days - and none of them sucked as hard as the ones from our DVD collection. Some were funny, some were tense, and some were exactly our level of weird.
Here's your sneak preview at the movies we'll be reviewing next. If you're the kind of person who likes to watch them and share in our misery ahead of time, now's your chance!
We seem to be on a roll for watching particularly terrible movies, so we thought we'd do a palate cleanser and watch something outside of our collection that we've heard good things about. To our surprise, we hated that too, so this episode brings you three jaded, scathing movie reviews. We discuss My Fake Fiance, Garden State, and Shazam.
Our small Saskatchewan community really has nothing going on, so we bring you our ridiculous front page newspaper headline and talk about literally anything we can think of to avoid discussing the movie we watched for this episode. Eventually we warm ourselves up to it, and we unwrap the turd that is Uptown Girls.
We forgot to release trailers for the last few episodes, but we are back on top of things! Find out which 3 movies we're reviewing next, so you can watch them ahead of time and join in the conversation about them. Also, as always, Jen attempts to guess what the movies are about, based solely on their titles.
In light of our most recent live episode, we decided to incorporate strip club reviews as a regular bit. But fear not! We also still review movies. Today's episode features Stranger Than Fiction as well as Blue Streak. Plus, we also give a bit of a bonus review on a movie we watched that isn't from our collection - Deep Murder which is available for streaming on Shudder.
Disclaimer: No Ben Afflecks were harmed in the making of this podcast. This marks our second live show and this time we think it went much more smoothly. We begin with the harrowing tale of the glass-shattering noise that woke us up in the middle of the night, then stall as long as possible before launching into our review of Dazed and Confused.
