The Movie Bin

Summer is coming to a close and we're headed to the country club for our Season Finale! Come for the 80's golf, stick around for Colleen's Girl Scout pledges and Mary's realization that she's actually in love with Bill Murray. Sorry Dennis Quaid, see you on the back 9!

Not many people can say they've achieved the elusive Quad Candy™ but here we are – featuring Dan Aykroyd, a bear named Judy, jet boats, forgotten Girl Scout pledges, 96 ounces of steak, and our continued poor grasp of inflation economics. Happy camping!

It's time for a cultural musical melting pot that for some reason involves Greece, Sweden, and Pierce Brosnan. Meanwhile Mary can't imagine a world without ABBA in it, Ryan continues to lose his grip on the English language, and we all agree that Meryl is a miracle.

Take a trip back with us to 1975 as we watch the very first summer blockbuster. It's got everything – shark attacks, PG nudity, Mr. Holland's Opus, nails on a chalkboard, WhisperSync, and a very slow murder shark named Bruce. We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Two guys spend a fun weekend at the beach with their dead boss. End scene. Meanwhile, Ryan can't say sex and Mary makes a few thinly veiled threats on Colleen's life.

The one where we can't remember any of the names or movies of 90's teen heart throbs and Mary only wants to listen to "Summer Breeze."

Balls, beasts, and The Great Bambino. It's one of the greatest sports movies of all time, and we honor it as such – with bad baseball math, mildly accurate movie quotes, and Mary's Sandlot fan fiction. Let's play ball!

Scatman, and momo, and cheese sandwiches, oh my! Jury is still out on which is actually scarier: The Shining, or the thought of working with Stanley Kubrick. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. ESP: (extrasensory perception): perception (as in telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition) that involves awareness of information about events external to the self not gained through the senses and not deducible from previous experience.

Looking for something heavy? Well take a trip with us to 1990's Boston, as Mary gets blindsided by all sorts of emotion, and we discuss Matt Damon's bleached tips, skinny Ben Affleck, what side of the tracks Colleen is from (spoiler alert, it's not the poor side), and Ryan says Michael Mann directed Black Hawk Down, which he definitely did not.

Can you believe it?! We're back! Consider Season 3 of The Movie Bin the “After Dark” edition. The Adult Swim version, if you will, and not for the faint of heart or those under 13 (probably). Episode 1 finds us exploring the pros & cons of polo, baths, and prostitution through cinematic classic (allegedly) Pretty Woman!

S2 E1 Our Apologies to the Nora Ephron Estate (Sleepless In Seattle) by The Movie Bin

Your friends at The Movie Bin close out season 1 in front a live audience, and discuss our favorite movie about a disgruntled air freshener salesman, a nearly blind evil veterinarian, and the giant dog that brings them together – Beethoven. Featuring special guest appearances from not Luke Williams, not Chad Fair, but several others who were in fact in the room.

S1 E14 Fumblerooski! Fumblerooski! (Little Giants) by The Movie Bin

Welcome to Episode 13 of The Movie Bin, where we dive headfirst into the hotel hi jinx of Dunston Checks In, featuring a monkey burglar, that one kid from the Santa Clause, the other guy from Seinfeld, some trademark 90's poor parenting, and a colossally inappropriate spa scene. Who let us watch this as children?? The Movie Bin Live! March 16. Matthews, NC. themoviebin.com

Welcome to part two of The Movie Bin's look at the Mighty Ducks. Ryan still hates Charlie and Gordon, but this time the Ducks are in the Olympics or something. D2 – It's like that movie Miracle, but the exact opposite. And whether you like it or not, the quack attack is back, Jack!

Olympic fever is sweeping the nation, including here at The Movie Bin. This week we take a look back at the classic film The Mighty Ducks - so join us as we discuss our favorite DUI-induced peewee hockey coach, Gordon Bombay, and his unlikely rise to regional hockey prominence, despite being a bad coach and not really a great human either. Quack, quack, quack...

What more do you need from episode 10 of The Movie Bin than peak Whoopi Goldberg, young-but-still-old Maggie Smith, the minor league mob syndicate of Reno, and the continued questionable law enforcement practices of the 90's - it's Sister Act! ker·fuf·fle - kərˈfəfəl/ noun a commotion or fuss, especially one caused by conflicting views. Nostradamus Colleen (almost) predicts the outcome of the Super Bowl.

We're back with episode 9 of the Movie Bin, as we look at the Disney classic Heavy Weights – which is either a prequel to Blank Check or Dodgeball, or maybe both, and stars all of Ben Stillers family, a few Mighty Ducks, Camp MVP, and a middle school dance that brings back too many memories.

What do you get when you throw all the child actors of your favorite 90's sports movies together, blend in a little poverty line education, single dad alcoholism, a pudgy Steve Guttenburg, illegal immigration, and the youth league version of America's fifth favorite sport, all pieced together with a soundtrack ripped straight from the lite rock/adult contemporary section of your favorite Barnes & Noble? Find out on the 8th episode of The Movie Bin, as we review The Big Green aka The Mighty Ducks but with soccer.

Pure 90's perfection comes your way in episode seven, as The Movie Bin dives headfirst into one of the great martial arts documentaries of our time - 3 Ninjas. The only film where you can find perfect villains, miraculous basketball, subpar kidnapping, and a poor man's Stephanie Tanner. Because for some reason, Rocky loves Emily. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" - The things we already have are more valuable than the things we only hope to get.

We're back for episode six of The Movie Bin, with The Parent Trap! L… is for the way Lindsay Lohan looked at Lindsay Lohan and didn't realize they were twins. O… is for the only one who didn't like this movie is Ryan. V… is very very extraordinarily bad parenting. E… is even more family drama than any episode before.

Our New Year's Day episode celebrates the current freezing temperatures with a fan favorite -the well-beloved, mildly racist, and wholly inaccurate 90's classic, Cool Runnings. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, it's John Candy time.

The Movie Bin is back with our fourth episode as we talk through a holiday classic, Home Alone. We hear from Ryan Hollingsworth, M.D., as he quotes an article from an actual doctor. WARNING: Don't listen if squeamish. Actually, who cares. Ryan uses the word "penultimate" again. Pe·nul·ti·mate (pəˈnəltəmət/) - adjective - last but one in a series of things; second to the last. themoviebin.com

The Movie Bin is back with our third episode, as we talk through Mrs. Doubtfire. A movie where a father who has separated from his kids dresses up as an old woman, stalks them throughout the movie, and tries to kill a man. Pe·nul·ti·mate (pəˈnəltəmət/) - adjective - last but one in a series of things; second to the last.

The Movie Bin is back with our second episode, as we talk through the Disney classic Blank Check and their celebration of free money, young love, Tone-Loc, and the poorly appraised castle market of the mid 90's.

The maiden voyage of The Movie Bin, where totally unqualified but highly opinionated film critics discuss hot ice, stinky cheese, and the questionable child labor laws of your favorite childhood baseball movie.

This is a podcast where we talk about movies we love & directors we question.
