With countless films produced during the course of over a century of film history, determining the greatest movie ever made seems like an impossible exercise. Thankfully, Justus Burkitt and David Scandura — God's favorite idiots — have taken on this Sisyphean task. Join these two film fanatics each week as they meticulously and rigorously review a wide range of movies, painstakingly searching all corners and niches of film history to once and for all find the Greatest Movie Ever Made.
The boys try to cheat death's design this week and discuss the fifth installment of this CGI blood filled horror franchise. In other news, David announces a new career change that will undoubtedly change the course of the podcast. But can the Final Destination series change course, cheat death, and possibly deliver The Greatest Movie Ever Made?Final Destination 5 (2011) is directed by Steven Quale and stars Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher, Courtney B. Vance, and David KoechnerMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
This week, the boys return to the wild and wacky world of Cannon Films to cover what might be the Citizen Kane of the Golan and Globus oeuvre. Journey to the exotic and ancient land of Phoenix, Arizona for a supernatural martial arts aerobics adventure, where V8 juice is an aphrodisiac, golf courses become violent battlegrounds, and so many dudes fall off motorcycles. Only a ninja can destroy a ninja, and only Justus and David can determine if Ninja III is the Greatest Movie Ever Made! Ninja III: The Domination (1984) is directed by Sam Firstenberg and stars Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, David Chung, and Dale Ishimoto.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
This week, Justus and David hit one more rep, flex their muscles, and cum day and night as they discuss this classic bodybuilding documentary, starring the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. This former Mr. Olympia might be a champion on the bodybuilding stage, but does he have what it takes to win the prestigious honor of The Greatest Movie Ever Made?Pumping Iron (1977) is directed by George Butler and Robert Fiore and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Mike Katz, Serge Nubret, and Franco Columbu.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
TGMEM has an ultra beefy episode about the ultra beefy guns and biceps of James Cameron's ultra beefy sequel that boldly asks “what if there were more than one alien this time?” Does Big Jim successfully follow up Ridley Scott's original, or is it game over, man, game over? It's another Alien day on The Greatest Movie Ever Made and this time, it's war!Aliens (1986) is directed by James Cameron and stars Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, and Lance Henriksen.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Praise the Lord! TGMEM is covering yet another adaptation of the book of Exodus, but this one has absolutely zero musical sing-alongs and definitely has an extrabiblical romance that takes up too much of the run time! But then again, it also has Yul Brynner's huge biceps and a hell of a Charlton Heston fake beard, so hopefully those make this movie's four hour journey worth it. What's the 11th commandment? It's “thou shalt listen to The Greatest Movie Ever Made!”The Ten Commandments (1956) is directed by Cecil B. DeMille and stars Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, and Yvonne De Carlo.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Things get spooky and witchy this week. The boys turn to High Priestess Pod for a movie suggestion and she conjures up a groovy and offbeat low budget 60's horror throwback that's full of floppy dicks, slimy misogynists, and jars full o' piss!

Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
G'day! This week, Justus and David hop on kangaroos and ride to the lawless outback of the land down under, where the only thing stinkier than the sweaty outlaws and more rotten than their yellow teeth is colonial racism. The Proposition is a unique take on the western that's sure to be a bad time, but maybe this bad time movie could be The Greatest Movie Ever Made!The Proposition (2005) is directed by John Hillcoat and stars Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, Emily Watson, and David WenhamMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
This week, our two drinkers of sacred beers discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' absurdist/horror/thriller/black comedy/family drama/fable/Greek tragedy thing steeped in rancid vibes, Barry Keoghan being a weird freak, and Colin Farrell looking despondent. Don't worry, they didn't forget to talk about the spaghetti scene, they just almost forgot to talk about it because they're idiots. This and other quality film criticism are in store for you on this episode of the Greatest Movie Ever Made!The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) is directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan, Raffey Cassidy, and Sunny Suljic.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Ruh-roh! The notorious Hannah Detwiler kicks down the doors of TGMEM studios this week. Fueled by ADHD and alcohol, she and the boys attempt to talk about the second live action Scooby-Doo 2. Were they successful? I'm gonna be honest, not really, but you'll want to tune in to hear all the laughs and antics anyway. And they would have gotten away with it too, if not for those meddling kids and that podcast, The Greatest Movie Ever Made!Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed is directed by Raja Gosnell and stars Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini, and Neil Fanning.Follow Hannah: https://www.instagram.com/goldensparklepony/ Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

It is happening again. Justus and David once again find themselves lost in another surrealist labyrinth courtesy of one David Keith Lynch, and this time it's his final full length feature, the epic and abstract Inland Empire. It's a bizarre mystery of pet monkeys, rabbit sitcoms, dark hallways, and scuzzy Polish guys. This week, experience the story of a podcast in trouble as the boys discuss if Inland Empire is The Greatest Movie Ever Made!Inland Empire (2006) is directed by David Lynch and stars Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons, Justin Theroux, Harry Dean Stanton, and Karolina Gruszka.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
The fourth and final competitor in Jackson Off comes out swinging this week, with the Carl Weathers action vehicle Action Jackson.

Christmas may have just come and gone, but TGMEM is keeping things cold and snowy as they venture to the harsh Scandinavian wilderness to talk about The Northman!

Charlie Anwar's search for David Scandura and Justus Burkitt has so far revealed nothing about the whereabouts of the idiotic podcast hosts. On this week's installment of the duo's final recordings, however, the supernatural forces that may be behind their disappearance begin to make their presence known in a dramatic fashion. David and Justus discuss a Romanian found footage psychological horror film, and the conversation they would have may just prove to be the biggest clue so far in the search for the Greatest Movie Ever Made podcast.
