Good Choices Podcast

We're fighting through it, friends! We're suffering yet more betrayal at the hands of our subject, but we shall not be daunted! It's another 1313 and this time it's Giant Killer Bees! and we are bringing you the facts. Facts like: how many bees are in this movie? What are you doing at the fort? And what is the exact minute that David slides that giant bee stinger between our ribs and kills us???

Listen. I apologize for the lateness of this episode (especially since we recorded early!) but can you blame me for forgetting 2011's Christmas Spirit? Both because of the off season occurrence in our run AND general stress? I'm sorry! Anyway, break into House with us to fix some Christmas, solve a family's communication problems, and get daddy wet.

We are kicking of another year of David DeCoteau coverage with yet another 1313 film, this one 2011's 1313: Boy Crazies! Join us and some decidedly noncrazy boys as we wander the blue night, touch statues in bewildering ways, and use these choking hands.

We're closing out the year with the definition of a whimper, 2011's 1313: Actor Slash Model! This film is truly nothing, just wandering, Hello?-ing, unseen knifing, and complaining. Happy New Year! We all deserve better!

Oh gosh, sorry this one is late! Got an invite to a party, specifically 2011's 1313: Wicked Stepbrother, and we didn't want to show up before anyone else got here! After all, who knows what could happen? You could get not-robbed, claim a tub for your own, or even have to deal with incest! Fucking yuck!

Happy Halloween! Join us for an ostensible horror movie with 2011's 1313: Nightmare Mansion, a movie that signals the beginning of the House Era! Come to our end of school party and bask in Beep Beep, do some underwear wandering, and experience one of the greatest betrayals in show history.

This month on Good Choices we are once again contending with puppets with 2010's Puppet Master: Axis of Evil! Get a job at a bomb factory with us as we discuss using old movies, opera house shenanigans, and so much racism.

This month on Good Choices we are saying goodbye to 2009 with The Invisible Chronicles! Will David have more success adapting H. G Wells over Poe? NOPE. Join us for one of the stupidest men alive, a shocking lack of invisibility gags, and an orange.

This month on Good Choices we are closing out the Poe Trilogy (a very real thing) with 2009's The Pit and the Pendulum! Join us at the combo mansion/closed asylum for too many athletes, a bummer of a love of clocks, and eternal blue filter night.

We have to hop on back to a different slice of 2009 this month on Good Choices, to right what once went wrong. Unfortunately, that righting means watching ANOTHER Brotherhood movie - Brotherhood V: Alumni! And guess what? It's the worst of the lot! Join us at a year later reunion for multiple stabbings, incredibly awkward make outs, and looking for Betty.

Thanks to Kelly there's been a Brotherhood mix up! We're covering the final Brotherhood movie as opposed to Brotherhood V, and honestly how different can Brotherhood VI - The Initiation (2009) be?? Join us for a confusing frat initiation tale, complete with eternal ribbon hiding! Torsos for days! And an examination of the evolution from Brotherhood to 1313!

This month on Good Choices we're on part 2 of David's apparent Poe trilogy with 2008's House of Usher! Come be in a perfectly normal house with us as we discuss sad gardens, possible cool secrets, flavor danger, and how the underwear boys are ghosts this time.

This month on Good Choices we are looking at a really unlikely Poe adaptation, 2007's The Raven! Join us for another people-getting-killed-in-a-mansion movie and ponder bizarre nurseries, heart knives, and scary phone calls with us!

This month on Good Choices we are trying out a Sci-Fi Channel movie with 2007's Grizzly Rage! Hop in a Jeep with us as we watch another movie where nothing happens, and yet a lot more happens than in Beastly Boyz! See a bear, winch some things, break into a shack - whatever! It's the Aughts bay-bee!

Happy New Year! Join us for the absolute punishment that is 2006's Beastly Boyz! Don't let us have watched this nothing in vain! Come to a sports camp with us as we keep checking on a lake, avenge a sister, and really fight through a movie where no one talks to one another and nothing happens.

We're closing out year 3 of Good Choices with... a Brotherhood movie?! That's right, we've gotten ahold of one of the long absent Brotherhood series, specifically 2005's The Brotherhood IV: The Complex. And what delights does this surprise Christmas movie hold for us? Welllllll... Not a lot happens, but we still discuss fancy missiles, some actual homoeroticism, and pirates! Here's to another year of Good Choices!

We're almost done with 2020, and our penultimate Good Choice of this accursed year is 2004's The Sisterhood! How do we fare with a sister film to a franchise we have been entirely unable to see? How do we fare with a movie that's half missing?? How about handling both at once?! Join us at College Island for the most bullshit psychology class anyone has ever taken, screamy bat signs, and Unintroduced Men. In the words of our protagonist: haha, okay!

Happy Halloween! This month on Good Choices we are celebrating the best holiday with 2004's Ring of Darkness, which is an actual horror movie! Hooray! Come to our secluded work island for boy bands, rebel rockers (who are identical to the boy band members), girlfriends who are... here? and, of course, underwear rituals.

This month on Good Choices we watch 2003's Speed Demon, a film bold enough to ask "What if Fast & the Furious... but with demons?!" Join us for a town of car-loving shirt-haters for our worst lead actor in a bit, music video shots in the midst of a killing spree, and demons what go fast!

On this episode of Good Choices we're visiting a college and taking some steroids with 2003's Leeches! Meet a varied cast of characters, like Nightmare Haver, Girlfriend #1, Jerk, and, uh, randos! Marvel at leech puppet attacks! Learn what economic pressures might drive a swim coach to sell drugs! Baffle at a murder subplot! Leeches!

This month on Good Choices we are spending actual time in actual New York (!!!) with 2002's Wolves of Wall Street. What if stock brokers were... werewolves?!?! Would it make anything happen? What if we told you that no one actually transforms?!?! Why are you leaving? Come back! You'll miss our thoughts on kangol hats, pissing on things, and tangents into Much Worse paths this podcast could have taken.

This month on Good Choices we are travelling back to high school with 2002's The Frightening! Is it going to be a clique-fueled bloodbath? No? Just mysterious beanie gangs killing... my notes say ska kids? That's alright, because there's still delights to be had, like obvious wrestling nightmares, getting flash fried in the 1920s, and the joys of telling people to Shut Up.

How much is 4 days of filming really worth? We delve into the question with the only partially DeCoteau-y Micro Mini Kids! Join us on an adventure with an older than anticipated teen for long stretches of non-shrunken hijinks, water-based under 21 clubs, and camp villainy.

Dear listeners, do you like the Scream franchise? Then do we have a ripoff movie for you! Welcome to 2001's Final Stab, a movie trying so hard to be Scream that it was threatened with legal action! But what delights does Final Stab hold for us? Why, rubber skeletons, murder mystery weekends, and gazebos! Sometimes theft really brings out the best in you...

Are you ready for some pranks?! Hopefully April Fool's Day is cancelled this year, but Good Choices is committed to getting our coverage of Prison of the Dead in under the wire. Pranks are the most important aspect of this movie, in spite of it taking place in a WITCH PRISON and involving so many ghosts. So join us for confusing randos, cells of evil, and Rory never shutting the fuck up.

It's a real slog this month on Good Choices as we visit an unaccredited bible college with 2000's Voodoo Academy! We make it to the new millennium and look what made it with us: half-nude writhing, crystals and shit, and the sound of the saddest Gremlins. It sucks!

Goodbye 1999! Good Choices escapes this endless year with its last offering - Retro Puppet Master! Were you really attached to the puppet backstory we got before? Too bad! Join us for an all new, all different take on these fuckin' puppets including hilarious puppet theater, non-dirty street urchins, and... mummies? Yeah, mummies.

The long slog that is 1999 here on Good Choices reaches its penultimate stop with Totem and... we get a good one for our podcast birthday? Good is relative, of course - there's still bad acting, tragic props, and baffling film making choices, but! There's also an interesting backbone of a story and a pretty good time to be had! So join us for preemptive murders, lots of swearing, and more puppets because Charles band is just terrified of those things. On to 2020!

This month on Good Choices we are discussing 1999's stupidly titled Witchouse! Come on over to our vaguely themed podcast and join us as we discuss how many copies of the Necronomicon you should have, wild basements, castle wiring, and Janet, who is the best. We shipped this podcast across the Atlantic, brick by brick!

Happy Halloween listeners! Are you ready for another terrible film? Of course you are! It's The Killer Eye, a movie about a giant eyeball that barely kills anyone but sure commits a lot of sex crimes! Join us for the friendliest apartment building of burn outs, murderers, and Attic Beetlejuices as we try and peer into the 8th dimension, try and go out for a nice night out, and try to get our husband to take our sex life seriously. Plus: one of us is betrayed by Tubi!

Seems it's time for Full Moon Video to... get into child's fare? Join us for one half of the failed "Filmonsters!" franchise with Frankenstein Reborn! Join us in a nebulous period of time and get ready for identical lovers, mummies that are actually monsters, everyone being named Frank, and plenty of cartoon fire. Kids! Love! Tapes!
