Garbage Theatre

We're baaaaaack! After some convincing and a few fan requests, we've decided to reopen the old Garbage Theatre for business! And wow are we hitting the ground running with Neil Breen's 'Twisted Pair'! Listen along as John tries to convince everyone that Breen knows what metaphors are, we scour the movie for any trace of a plot and eventually question why we decided to do this to ourselves again.

So its come down to this. Malignant. How do you describe that which is indescribable? Susan Sarandon? Hollywood Hobos? What happened here? Can we recover from this? Listen to find out. 

Chase is back and he's bringing a slight breach of etiquette as we watch 'Masters of the Universe: Revelation'! Listen along as we dive into this sequel series to 'He-Man & the Masters of the Universe' that's currently swarming with controversy. 

Its time to watch Justice League, the way it was intended! In 4:3...and black and white...with the tv standing on its side...for 5 hours...as visionary genius Zack Snyder intended! This episode your hosts Blake and John are joined by the hosts of The Multiversal Soldiers podcast, Mike and Rob! Listen along as they painfully relive this bloated epic tale! You can find the Multiversal Soldier podcast at the following links... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/multiversal-soldiers/id1539109544 https://www.facebook.com/MultiversalSoldiersPod/ https://twitter.com/pod_multiversal

Time to jet-set off to a tropical paradise with 'Hard Ticket to Hawaii'! Chase is off on vacation so lets see if Blake and John can hold down the fort, since, you know...Chase doesn't do anything anyway. 

Time to wrap this nonsense up with Part 3 of our Hobbit Trilogy Special...Battle of the Five Armies! Listen along as we get a Tolkien education from Blake, debate just how many armies are in this movie, and say good riddance to Middle Earth...at least until Blake goes off on a rant again.

Its Smaug time folks! Listen along as we delve deeper than dwarves should examining the padded-for time Desolation of Smaug! Take sides as we argue about boated action sequences, made up elves, shoehorned romance and prepare for the tragedy that will be the final installment of our Hobbit Trilogy Special!

Time to hop on an eagle and go there and back again with Garbage Theatre! Listen along as we delve deep into the mountain that is the Hobbit Trilogy while Blake does his best to defend what's dearest to him. We argue whether or not dwarves should have bears, the difference between orcs and goblins, and just try to figure out how this massive trilogy missed the mark for so many people.

After a brief delay brought on by 'Texas Snowpocalypse 2021' we we're finally able to sit down and talk about 'Cats'! Listen along as we try to figure out just why these A list stars agreed to this, make guesses as to what 'jeclical' means, and get to the bottom of why they thought making a movie of this stage show was even a good idea.

Up next is 'Wonder Woman 1984'! Listen along as we try to figure out why this movie was 9 hours long, dive into the varying levels of 80's-ness, discuss identity theft, and Blake rambles about a bidet.

WE'RE BACK! After some soul searching brought on by the crushing reality of our 100th movie special, we decided to fine-tune the show with a new format. Gone is the quiz and hopefully our souls can start to grow back by not watching movies that we're pretty sure only exist to launder money. We're starting off with JCVD's 'Street Fighter'! Listen along as we look back on this movie of our childhoods and delve into the cocaine fueled action!

After a long break having absolutely almost nothing to do with the release of Cyberpunk 2077...we watched 'Virtual Combat'! Listen along in this 'casual Friday' episode as we discus the Hoover Dam, Ricky the Steamboat Dragons turn-ons and make an announcement about the future of Garbage Theatre. (Don't worry...we're still doing it).

Up next for the gang is another Italian ripoff...'Ghosthouse'! Listen along as we discuss the intricate and rigid society that are HAM radio nerds, the merits of chilli before/after coitus and Pocket Chocolate™.

FINALLY! With the immediate threat to feudal Japan thwarted for now, we were able to finally sit down and talk about 'Bigfoot'! Listen along as we try to figure out which of these old men are tougher, how much clout an AM radio DJ really has, and if we all should be letting the Bigfoot pandemic run our lives.

Surprise folks! We've hit a whopping 100 movies! To celebrate, we're taking a break from our regularly scheduled Season 7 to bring you a very VERY special movie. There will be laughs, tears...and a lot of alcohol. Come along for the ride as we celebrate four-ish years of Garbage Theatre! Special thanks to Tunetank for the epic music score.

We're back, and its time to kick off Garbage Theatre Season 7! We start off strong with an absolutely insane, cocaine fueled Jean-Claude Van Damme flick, 'Knock Off'! Listen along as we marvel at the off-the-wall camera shots, extreme closeups of exploding shoes, and the crazy chemistry between JCVD and Rob Schnieder. 

The meal is complete, the pants are undone and digestion can commence as we bring our Italian Garbage Month to a close with '1990: The Bronx Warriors'! Listen along as we presume how post-apocalyptic gangs choose their outfits, try to make sense of the timeline, and wonder about how an apocalyptic postal service operates. 

Time for the main course in our Italian Garbage Month! We watched 'Nightmare City' and it was truly a nightmare! Listen along as we try to figure out just what these monsters are supposed to be, question the terrible decision making of our protagonist, and try to get Blake enraged enough to fly off on a UFO tangent. 

Mamma-mia, its time for unlimited salad and breadsticks on Garbage Theatre's Italian Garbage Month! We'll be dining on 'Shocking Dark' an Italian rip-off of both 'Aliens' and 'Terminator'...and a shameless one at that! Listen along as we revel in the similarities, groan at how much wandering there is, and desperately try to figure out the end-goal of the Tubular Corporations grand scheme.

OO-FAH! Its time for our Mese della Spazzatura Italiano! Translation: Italian Garbage Month...or something like that...All month long we will be dining on the finest Italian made Z-movie fare and for our opening course of Fried Calamari we have the 1980 cult classic 'Contamination'! Listen along as we try to digest this disgusting movie, attempt to connect the dots of its flimsy plot, and try to figure out if these things are actually eggs at all!

We did it! Season 6 is wrapped up despite 2020's best efforts! Listen along as we go through our Worst of the Worst lists, hand out some awards, get Laserball'd, correct some mistakes and reveal whos going head to head in our new special month!

Well....he did it. He finally did it. John got us to watch Neil Breen's 'Fateful Findings'. Listen along as we close out Season 6 in style discussing the absolute MADNESS that is this movie. No words here can do it justice people...you'll just have to listen and find out!

Sorry for the delay folks but here it is! Its time for our seemingly mandatory Asylum film of the season... 'Alien Predator'! Listen along as we get angrier and angrier at everyone involved in the making of this money laundering scheme of a movie. We question the military accuracy, just where exactly the alien ship crashed and John drops a bomb on us all that shakes us to our core.

This episode we go back to the ol' Wascavage well with 'Suburban Sasquatch'! Listen along as we dive deep into Squatch lore, Karens, and what it takes to make it as a 'Big City Reporter'!

Next up for us is the infuriating 'Futurekick'! Listen along as we try to figure out why these robot people even exist, how money works in this crazy future, and just what the hell is 'Laserblade'?  Also be sure to check us out on Spotify!

We're about 'sword & sandal'd out as we had to trudge through Deathstalker! Listen along as we talk about the vast nothingness that was this movie, figure out if this quest is being made up as it goes, and pray that nobody picks Deathstalker 2 in the future!

Season 6 commences as we watch 'Circle of Iron' a Bruce Lee movie painfully missing Bruce Lee! Listen along as we question this whole 'quest's' purpose, whether or not the entire beginning of the movie mattered, and try to figure out if this could have been better if Lee would have still been involved. 

Time for a mid-season break with a 'Chestnuts Roasting on a Dumpster Fire' special...'A Karate Christmas Miracle'! Listen along as we painstakingly slog through this highly terrible, highly offensive, Christmas movie. What does Eric Roberts have to do with this? What is this professor talking about? Is this even karate? None of these questions will be answered as we take what was supposed to be a 'light-hearted' break from our usual lineup. 

Join us as we go deeper into quarantine madness after watching the fabled 'Tammy and the T-Rex'! Listen along as we discuss what the PG-13 version could possibly have been, marvel at the range of motion of the reptilian star, and Blake sends us down a strange path of robots, AI and sasquatches. The longer the quarantine...the crazier we're going to get!

To celebrate the imminent release of 'DOOM: Eternal', we watched 'DOOM: Annihilation'! Nestle up to your mountain of toilet paper and listen along from your quarantine shanties as we ask if this is even a DOOM movie, question all the ham-fisted easter eggs, and try to figure out what the hell the 'demons' are even trying to do here. 

What happens when you take the jarring editing of 'Derailed' but swap out JCVD for Steven Seagal? You get 'Shadow Man'! Listen along as we go through one of the absolute worst of Seagal's filmography, trying desperately to figure out who all these people are, what their relationship is to each other, and just what the MK Ultra program has to do with hamsters.

We have a very special episode of Garbage Theatre for you folks! Our very own John got to sit down and talk with the director/writer of 'The VelociPastor', Brendan Steere! Listen along as John and Brendan discuss the movie, Brendans early horror influences, and the current state of the 'so-bad-its-good' horror movie genre.  You can find 'The VelociPastor' streaming on Amazon Prime! We highly recommend it!

The Sword of Vandammeclese has been dropped so we watched 'Replicant'! Listen along as we discuss Van-Dammes fourth foray into a double-role, the logic behind this whole secret government program, and all the sweet hand-cuffing action! 

It's time for the fabled 'Episode 2' of Garbage Theatre season 6! Boy howdy were we pleasantly surprised with 'VelociPastor'! Listen along as we sing our praises for this marvelous intentional train wreck. We discuss random flashbacks, bad wigs, and the spectacular final battle! Be sure to stick around for all the drama that follows the Quiz this episode!

Season Six is upon us! As is our 3rd Anniversary! We ring in three glorious years of podcasting with our first movie, 'Axe Giant: The Tale of Paul Bunyon!' Listen along as we discuss everything from food poisoning, to Estavez/Sheen holiday get-togethers, to proper bear nuisance protocol! Blake and John take The Quiz and we cap it all off with a brand new painful segment!

*DISCLAIMER* This episodes audio quality is not our usual level of professionalism but we are releasing it anyway due to listener demand! Here it is folks! You demanded it...you got it! The "Lost" episode of Garbage Theatre and our conclusion to OUR Star Wars Trilogy...audio corruption and all! Listen along as we go into detail, of what we remember anyway, and completely spoil Rise of Skywalker for Blake! Strong opinions are found within so be forewarned! 

We limp to the finish line with our final movie of Shark Month 2019, 'Jaws of Death'! Listen along as we put this special month out of its misery so we can start 2020 with a new season, and hopefully better technical luck so we don't lose any more episodes!

We're BACK! Well...Blakes back so that means we can shut up about Star Wars and continue with Shark Month 2019! If anyone remembers, we watched 'Sharkman' about a century ago...and it shows! Listen along as we hobble back into rhythm desperately trying to recall this unwatchable bore-fest. SPOILER WARNING: This episode devolves into chaos around act 3......we're rusty folks.

Time for Part 2...Episode 2...Episode II??? of our Star Wars special series! This time around, John and Chase discus the Star Wars side stories, 'Rogue One' and 'Solo' and the hypocrisy flies as we come off the defensive and onto the offensive! Also, Blakes rebuttal to Part 1, and OUR rebuttal to his rebuttal!

As we put our Shark Month on hold due to Blake needing to take a brief hiatus, John and Chase decide to tackle a topic near and dear to all of our hearts...Star Wars! In this special we will cover the controversy over the sequels, 'The Force Awakens' and 'The Last Jedi'...and to quote Luke.."this is not going to go how you think!"

Shark Month 2019 is upon us and we start it off with the next installment of the timeless 'Headed' franchise, '6-Headed Shark Attack'! Listen along as we get increasingly more angry at the most hatable cast of characters we've ever encountered, try to figure out just how big this shark is, and Blake goes on a rant!

Season 5 is officially in the bag! Join us for our Finale Special where we reflect on the season, compile our Worst of the Worst lists, give out some awards, Franken-ize some movies, and launch Shark Month 2019! Be sure to check out our Hocus Pocus: Halloween Special we just posted as well!

It's time for a surprise special edition of Garbage Theatre! We decided on an impromptu Halloween Special to decide who is joining Chase to compete in Shark Month 2019! The movie we picked...well, lets just say we're fairly confident we are going to divide the audience on this one, as we decided on a Halloween "classic" that the three of us think is HIHGLY overrated! Listen along and find out wether Blake or John comes out victorious in the most epic Garbage Theatre quiz segment we've ever done!

We arrive at the finish line of Season 5, wheezing and out of breath...much like the star of our final movie! We close out this season with 'Absolution' the final movie in Steven Seagals trilogy of stupid. Listen along as we manage to lose more respect for this insufferable human being, and find out just who is victorious for Season 5!

The end of the season is sight but first we have to trudge through the sluggish speedbump that is 'Battle for the Lost Planet'. Listen along as we try to figure out what genre of movie this wants to be, question the connection between the narrator and the main character, and just generally try to stay awake. Eleven down...one to go!

We were forced to suffer the head trauma that was 'Scorpion Thunderbolt'...John's unholy Godfrey Ho movie pick. Listen along as we desperately try to decipher the absolute CHAOS that is this movie and generally hate on John for putting us through this nonsense.

This week we watched 'Frankenhooker'! In an action packed episode, listen along as Blake drops his nefarious twist, Chase drops an antiquated medical knowledge bomb on John, John drops a much expected bombshell on Chase, and we all just agree this movie was pretty funny.

It's all swords, sandals, and milky man-thighs this week on Garbage Theatre! We watched 'The Warrior & the Sorceress' starring David Carradine. Listen along as we discuss the incredibly small scale of this conflict and give John a hard time for all the gratuitous nudity. 

We're back with another fan pick! The 80s poor mans Top Gun...'Iron Eagle'! Listen along as we all have very different opinions of this movie. We discuss the logistics of 'Flying the Snake', high schoolers stealing F-16s and you know Blake has a rant ready to go! 

We've got an action packed episode this week folks, we watched 'Night of the Were-Rooster'! Listen along as we dissect this travesty of a movie, discussing topics such as hobo-clowns, New Orleans vampires, and Henry Cavill's moustache. Oh yeah...and John got bit by a dog!

Here we go again folks! Yet another talking animal movie to push us to the brink of insanity. We watched 'A Talking Cat' starring Eric Roberts as the cat. Dare I say this is 'better' than 'Love on a Leash' but...just barely. Come along for the ride and pray for us that we don't have to watch the talking pony sequel anytime soon!
