Tales from the Bargain Bin

Get the tree down from the attic and prepare your best over dinner arguments, cos it's about that time again as Claire and Ryan take a deep deep look into the Christmas abyss (abyssmass?), this time watching the wonderfully immature Will Ferrell in 2003s 'ELF' and its claymation family-friendly sing-along sequel 'Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas' using the voice talent of Gilbert Gottfried and the voice of that Turkey from the Big Bang Theory.   Is this the most harshly maligned SNL alumni to Movie to Broadway Musical to Claymation special ever made?   Is this the most selfish representation of a Santa there has ever been?   And can somebody please check if James Caan is awake, please?   Listen in, check it out, have a damn good Christmas x   Yell at us: INSTA: TFTBBPODCAST TWITTER: TFTBBPODCAST EMAIL: TFTBBPODCAST@GMAIL.COM    

Claire and Ryan have gone full renegade cop with this month's offering, watching 76's The Enforcer, the third offering into Right-Wing Gun Nut Police Brutality fantasy Dirty Harry series and Italian Poliziotteschi clone 'Shadows in an Empty Room aka Blazing Magnum' from the same year. Get your police scanners a whirling as we ask the questions round here... Will we ever work our way through all the layers of Cpt. Saitta, to reach the gooey centre inside? How many Magnum deaths is too few magnum deaths? and is a prolonged car chase sequence standard Police Operating Procedure? Listen in as we play bad cop, bad cop on this most villainous title.   Emergency lines: Twitter: @tftbbpodcast Email: tftbbpodcast@gmail.com Insta: @tftbbpodcast

Tales from the Curmudgeonly Crypt returns this October with an Insectoid special as Claire and Ryan take a deep look into Baboon Butchery Caper, David Cronenberg's 1986 'The Fly' and it's straight to no point at all sequel, 1989's originally named 'The Fly II' starring Eric Stoltz and his lovely head of red hair.   What's the end game here? Why did the constant sacrificing of animals in the name of whatever the end game is? and why oh why is Dr. Seth dressed like Mr. Bean!? *These questions may or may not be answered on this episode of TALES FROM THE CURMUDGEONLY CRYPT!   Shout at us and call us names: Twitter: @tftbb Insta: @tftbbpodcast Email: Tftbbpodcast@gmail.com Music: Brains by Lifejacket  

This month is spy month, and Claire and Ryan certainly spied something dreadful on the horizon as they trudge through the mire to watch 1967s a classic Bond 'You only live twice', a misogyny fest featuring the most pointlessly inane plot device of all time and a not nearly racist enough (for Ryans taste) face changing operation.  Follow that cocktail up with the same years much under-discussed (see: scornfully judged) contribution to the 'Bond-verse', 'O.K Connery' (AKA: Operation Kid Brother), starring none other than Sean Connery's Plastering tradesman brother, Neil (not even a joke) and a full complement of previous Bond stars.   Is this how trade union disputes are normally settled? Why does Bond fake his death so elaborately? and Plastic Surgery, Lip Reading and Tibetan Hypnosis.  Are these the new weapons for the new spy of the new age?

For this year's Summer Blockbuster Month Ryan and Claire enjoy a 1st class trip on 1997's RomTradge Titanic, before careening broadside-first into the floating frozen turd that is The Asylum and sinking into the fathomless depths to suffer an eternal nightmare at the bottom of the sea alongside 2010's Titanic II. Are the icebergs getting revenge for global warming? Can the sinking of the Titanic be attributed to a single pair of binoculars? And when is someone going to get justice for Hubert?!?!

Strap yourself in, put your helmet and adjust the crotch of your Carpe Diem custom bike leathers whilst Claire and Ryan take you on a real wild ride this episode, as they take a look at 2001s High Octane, Low brow culture car toss fest 'Fast and The Furious' and then take a delve into the darkside and go a little off piste, to take a look into 2004's not so much a rip off as a failed cloning attempt 'Torque' under the instruction of Ryans good friend Neil. Who did Adams Scotts hair in this movie? While we're on the subject, who dressed him like that? And where the fucking hell did he get that comedy sized key!?

HIIIIeeeeYAHHHHH! It's the most wonderful time of the year from Claire and Ryan yet again as June Claude Van Damme rolls around for another session of roundhousing hilarity, and this time they've gone and delved right back into the archives for yet another of Ryans childhood favorites (but aren't they all? Or so he claims...) as the deadly duo ready their Iron Hands and Do tricks with bricks, watching 1988s based on a true story but definitely fabricated kicking tournament 'Bloodsport'.  Then this is followed up swiftly and decisively with 1996s late to the party sequel 'Bloodsport 2: The Next Kumite' starring a vaguely familiar man with a vaguely familiar accent. Are foreign prisons the worst place to be in the entire world ever? How many montages does it really take to snuff candles out by sheer will alone? And what the damn hell is going on with race representation in this franchise!? Listen in, ready your kicks and sweep your sand on another episode of TALES FROM THE BARGAIN BIN!

Ryan and Claire inexplicably travel back in time and visit the action blockbusters of '80's in a ballistic James Cameron double feature! We take in 1984's The Terminator AND 1986's Aliens in order to fully experience the egregious ripoff game of 1989's Shocking Dark, aka Terminator 2, aka Alienators, directed by Vincent Dawn. When will people realise that there is always a second time travel pod? Who exactly is making money off sales of the Bad Filmmaking Handbook and can we hold them accountable? And what is more deadly than The Terminator and Aliens combined? Why, a button-activated door of course!

As TFTBB hits over 2000 downloads, Claire and Ryan celebrate as any self-respecting podcasters would and watched 1977s rather dated but first of its kind sports comedy 'Slapshot' starring Paul Newman in a leather suit and hilarious misogyny.  Crashing into the 3rd quarter came 'Slapshot 2: Breaking The Ice' starring a definitely post Ususal Suspects Stephen Baldwin and reigniting the only good characters from the first one. Ryan also knocks out a new segment he very cleverly refers to as Baldwin Bedlam and pushes Claire's Stephen Baldwin's knowledge to its very limits.  Utterly without her consent.   Could this franchise be any more boring? What's with Airport bars and being an Oasis of divination and third act ignition? And has anyone ever actually uttered the phrase 'Get me a Baldwin!' with Stephen in mind?   Questions are raised and barely answered on Tales From The Bargain Bin!   Complaints this way: Email: Tftbbpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @tftbbpodcast Insta: tftbbpodcast Music by Lifejacket.    

In what is definitely their most forced title for an episode to date, Claire and Ryan cook up an absolute storm and delve into the hairy world of Rats that can cook, which can only mean one thing. Pixar's 2007 typically wonderful parasitic relationship animated rat feature 'Ratatouille' and it's incredibly unconvincing and oh so foul-tasting Brazilian knock-off 'Ratatoing', brought to us by Video Brinquedo. What the hell has been unleashed to defend that kitchen and why is it vaguely cat-shaped? Do the creators of this monstrosity actually hold out hope for the award season? and how bad does your film have to be if even Disney can't be bothered to sue you?

TFTBB normal service resumes this month when Claire and Ryan retreat from the sunlight and get their teeth sunk into a Vampire Classic and it's straight to video sequel. You guessed it, it's 1987's Bon Jovi Children of the night cult classic 'The Lost Boys' and its not so good or classic for that matter sequel from 2010, 'The Lost Boys 3: The Thirst'. Why is everyone always laughing in this first film? Is there some kind of Garlic Broth available on the market? And did Corey Feldman supply his own set of Katanas?

That's another miserable decade out of the way and another year of movies watched, Claire and Ryan cash in shamelessly again for the second time and take a trip down memory dark and shady alley to discuss what movies they saw, liked, hated and tolerated this year.

This week Claire and Ryan have been through a horrific accident and have been resurrected by the miracle of Science and just a teensy splash of Ancient Necromancy, as we watch 2014's internet hated remake of a classic 'Robocop' starring Joel Kinneman and Batman, and then compare the shiny armors of The Asylums efforts in 2014's internet unknown 'Android Cop' starring Michael Jai White and Tinman.

Kickboxering off the annual sensation JUNE-CLAUDE VAN DAMME Ryan and Claire take a snuggly boat to Thailand for 1989's Kickboxer and then catch an awkward flight to South Africa for it's 1995 quintequel The Redemption: Kickboxer 5 (which, honestly, should be called The Revengening: Punch Up 1). Is the increasing web of connection between TFTBB films mystical or merely conspiratorial? What exactly is JCVD being trained for Mr. Chow? And who the heck is David Sloane anyway?

This week Claire and "Ryan" get deja vu with 2014's surprisingly awesome Edge Of Tomorrow, and its mockbuster 2014's surprisingly not-fucking-awful Age Of Tomorrow. Is KILL all we've ever needed? The Asylum has peaked! Is it all downhill from here? And how many tropes does it take to trope in a trope bulb?

On the 1 year Jubilee of TFTBB, Claire and Ryan hold out their thumbs and hitch a ride along with Michael Bays 2007 steely blue and zesty orange remake of 80s Itinerant thriller 'The Hitcher' and then take the wheel of The Asylums "effort" from the same year, The Hitch-Hiker and demand some damn answers. What makes Nurse Conventions so damn wild? Where did Jack get that Mojito mix from? And why are they drinking it!? And why don't The Asylum stop spending money on lifesize cardboard effigies of Ryan, and buy some more Microphones?

This week Ryan and Claire pay homage to mothers everywhere by watching the greatest advert for sterilisation ever made, 1968's Rosemary's Baby and the greatest advert for vocational mime school ever made, 1976's Look What's Happened To Rosemary's Baby. What's with all the Satanic murmuring? Did this film start life as a scared-straight educational video for children? Who do we talk to about getting an Oscar for Peter Poet The Totally Not Gay Boyfriend? We should probably Hail the Satan Bus, seeing as we're probably going to hell for this one. Tweet us @TFTBBpodcast, or email us at TFTBBpodcast@gmail.com

This week Claire and Ryan have dusted off their Deer Stalkers and whipped passing guttersnipes, by watching Guy Ritchie's return to form in 2009s 'Sherlock Holmes' and then took on the mysterious case of 'oh...just why...' and recoiled at its 2010 Asylum effort 'Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes'.  Some questions still remain unanswered... Why is there a T-Rex in this film? How does the T-Rex get around without being noticed? Why is there a T-Rex in this fucking film? The game is afoot! and possibly an arse, on Tales from the Bargain Bin...

Rounding off the sexy month of February Ryan and Claire put themselves through it again as they watched a sum total of 19 weeks of debauchery, all in the pleasurable company of Mickey Rourke. We watched 1986's 9 1/2 Weeks starring Kim Basinger and it's 11 year later sequel 1997's ANOTHER 9 1/2 weeks not starring Kim Basinger, who had better things to do. In this episode we ask the question of our forefathers: how many Micky Rourke sex scenes can 2 people take? FIND OUT ON TALES FROM THE BARGAIN BIN!!! Tweet us @TFTBBpodcast Email us at TFTBBpodcast@gmail.com

This week Ryan and Claire kick off Valentine's by getting sexy, steamy, and and a little bit grimy with 2015's bad-touch blockbuster 50 Shades Of Grey and it's Charisma Carpenter propelled cash-in Bound. How many Baldwin's can you squish into a Play-Doh Fun Factory? Why did Christian Grey never short-circuit, despite all that quim he was drowning in? And when is it acceptable to ignore child abuse? Why, when it's convenient to the sexy, sexy plot of course!!! All this and more on TALES FROM THE BARGAIN BIN!! Twitter: @TFTBBpodcast Email: TFTBBpodcast@gmail.com

Happy New Year! After a stressful Christmas Holiday watching films and talking rubbish, Claire and Ryan are back to watch more films and talk even more rubbish as we return back to the grind with a teenage year staple of Ryan's and a recent conversion of Claire's, 1997's masterstroke Sci-Fi satire Starship Troopers and it's 2004 straight in that Bargain Bin sequel, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation. Is that 3.4/10 on IMDB unearned? Is this just an episode of Scooby Doo that was never aired? and will Claire ever watch Attack of the Clones all the way through? Warning: Contains a mix up from Ryan where he confuses Tuskan Raiders for Jawas.  Star Wars amateur hour. Get in touch: @tftbbpodcast tftbbpodcast@gmail.com

In this final classic format episode of the year, Claire and Ryan bring in YuleTide by watching 1990s Christopher Columbus classic festive Child Mistreatment adventure 'Home Alone' and open up the last present under the tree and discovered naught but a box of used Cat Litter, with 2002s 'Home Alone 4: Taking back the House' Is this Claire and Ryan's lump of Coal?  What did they do to deserve this naughty list punishment? Is cinematographer Peter Benison the ultimate Christmas film Guru? Where does this film even sit in the Home Alone Cinematic Universe? And is Marv secretly the Queen of Sheba? All this, and more, can be answered, on Tales from the Bargain Bin. Claire and Ryan would also love to wish everyone who listens to, shares and talks about Tales from the Bargain Bin, a very happy Christmas! (everyone else can go fuck themselves) A blast has been had this year!

This week John and Hans usher in the Christmas season by ascending to the penthouse suite with 1988's definitely-a-Christmas-film Die Hard and then plummet out the window, screaming and flailing to the depths of rickety Anna Nichole-Smith vehicle 1996's actually-not-a-Christmas-film-and-barely-even-a-film-at-all Skyscraper. Is this film as morally bankrupt as it is financially bankrupt? Where do these goons shop for their duds and are they having a Christmas sale?

This week Tales From The Bargain Bin gets sexy, steamy, and keeps it in the family as we watch 1999's edgy teen-asshole-a-thon Cruel Intentions and its straight to DVD tasteless teen-creep-a-thon sprequel Cruel Intentions 2. Are we to believe Sebastian and Kathryn are the only people sexually active in this school? Is this an insight into Roger Kumble's deepest, darkest desires?
