Hocus Pocus 2 (2022). Another secret Halloween ruined. Hocus Pocus 2 is the Andy Williams of spooky movies; not objectionable to most people and without any unexpected happenings.

Terminators IV - VI. Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015), Terminator: Dark Fate (2019). This episode is largely about Jason Clarke's distracting face.

Harburg.
Terminators I - III. The Terminator (1984), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003). These movies raise so many questions for us.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and The Mighty Ducks (1992). You Butter Leggings let us know that we should talk about these two movies. The natural next step is to create a futuristic audio play that brings both movies into the same universe. Def Leppard's “Pour Some Sugar on Me” was written by Joe Elliott, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Phil Collen, Steve Clark, and Rick Savage.
Shifter (1999) aka Shapeshifter. Ok, so pretend you have like 8 bad movies and you squish them all together into one. We are also graced with a performance by a 4th grade choir, an episode of Lawrence Welk, and a forgotten hit by Air Supply (and an accompanying remix from 1994).
Twilight (2008). A story about a noodley-legged, vegetarian, hatchback-driving vampire. Also, life hack, order extra sauce at Pizza Hut and they will teach you how to make pizza.
Stargate (1994). But first - an anatomy lesson. Then we answer “What would the soundtrack to Stargate sound like if Disney had made this movie?”
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964). We present some alternate songs that could have been used in the classic movie. Also, we get a call from Sanna Clause, who likes microwaved burritos.
Grease (1978). It's hydromatic, it's problematic, it's the 21,440th review of Grease. NOBODY HAS SAID WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO SAY! John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, air humping; it's all here. Also, the Emperor joins in on the fun.
National Treasure (2004). 5, 4, 3, National Treasure! The story of a droopy-faced man who steals one sheet of paper. All told through the lens of mediocrity, too! By the way, we are so good at vetriloquism. Notice how you cannot see our lips move at all.
Alternate title: Michael Behind. We use our patented* process of picking the next movies for the podcast. Which movies did we pick? Listen and find out! Oh, and we also recreate the demo song from a 1989 Yamaha PSS-80 keyboard. Hear our demo recreations at https://butterlegspodcast.com/keyboard *absolutely not patented
The Godfather (1972). Long-ass movie. Sin liked it. In this episode, Lieutenant Columbo investigates one of the crimes from the movie. A child screams about chicken. Also, what would a Godfather theme have sounded like if the Beastie Boys had made it?
The Fast and the Furious (2001). Starring either The Rock or Vin Diesel - Sin is not quite sure which. We had a great time talking about this movie's tuna salad sandwiches and omnipresent perspiration. We also thought we could improve the movie by convincing Alfred Hitchcock to make his own version... it did not go well.
Space Jam (1996). Come on and slam and dunk it with yo hands. Sin, Jay, and Alex are joined today by some unusual guests, Emperor Palpatine and Benjamin Franklin. Join us in our discussion about Michael Jordan, the Looney Toons, and, of course, some really great commercials.
Labyrinth (1986). Chilly down with us, Jennifer Connelly, and David Bowie’s famous crotch. We talk about the other choices for Jareth the Goblin King that could have happened. Test your knowledge in a little quiz about Jennifer, Bowie, and Henson. Also, please enjoy some commercials from 1986.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984 and 2010). We party down with Freddy Krueger, who is always just having the best time. This episode covers both the original from 1984 and the remake from 2010. We have some suggestions for some other options Freddy could use for weapons. Jay does some of his amazing impersonations again. Also, join us for three unforgettable commercials from 1984.
Today’s episode was a lot of fun for us, and we hope it is for you, too. It was a little bit of an experiment. We wanted to bring you into the process with us of deciding our next movies. In this episode, Alex, Sin, and Jay each pitched movies to each other that we added to a master list. We then added some listener-submitted movies to the same list. At the end we take turns either eliminating or protecting movies until we got to our final 5 items. Then, we rolled to see the order we would actually watch those 5 items in. Like all of our other episodes, we have fun sound clips from the movies, and we totally stay on topic. Also, there’s an ad break with some very disturbing commercials
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. The final episode in our Star Wars series. We discuss The Emperor’s radio broadcast, force lightning, and footraces. Also, for some reason, we get all Jeff Foxworthy a couple times in this one. Star Wars content is Copyright and Trademark Lucasfilm Ltd.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. Salt. Lightning bolt. The color red. The voice of Fozzie Bear. Luke milking aliens. This movie has it all. Star Wars content is Copyright and Trademark Lucasfilm Ltd.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. Smooth cameras, good acting, great special effects, and yet, we can’t help but think that Fozzie Bear should have been in this movie. Star Wars content is Copyright and Trademark Lucasfilm Ltd.
