This week, The Plotaholics go old school with our original premise for the podcast: Bad FilmsThis week we REALLY dive into the sludge of the sewer. Thankfully we missed the Losers Club orgy, but we didn't come out completely unscathed. This week, we review the Bobcat Goldthwait film, Hot To Trot.In this film Goldthwait plays Fred. Fred's mom dies. His step dad is a dick. He inherits a talking horse voiced by John Candy. You can sort of imagine where it goes from there. Yeah. It's bad. Real bad. But...it's...it's just bad.Next week, we're doing something better. WE PROMISE!Support the show (https://plotaholics.com)
One of John Candy's signature roles, Uncle Buck was the penultimate work of John Hughes' directing career. While a broad comedy like his earliest works, does it reflect a more mature outlook on life and responsibility?

For every oddball question that pops up in the bizarre Nothing But Trouble, Luke and Corryeseem to have an answer! The Chumps hunt down why in the world Digital Underground (and Tupac!) found their way into the film. Corrye and Luke also find the true event which inspired Dan Aykroyd's "traffic ticket" idea for this movie. But mysteries remain: a nose turning into a penis?? The giant twin babies? And that head-scratcher of an ending.PLUS: Luke battles a cold throughout the episode, and Corrye is centimeters from having intercourse with the new hit show "Winning Time" on HBO.

The California band Cracker would have its greatest success with its second studio album, Kerosene Hat. Cracker is David Lowery on lead vocals and guitar, Johnny Hickman on lead guitar and vocals, Davey Faragher on bass and vocals, and Michael Urbano on drums. The name of the album comes from a time when Lowery and Hickman lived together in an old run-down house whose only heat source was a pair of kerosene heaters. They had to walk to a nearby gas station to buy more kerosene and would bundle up with a wool cap that came to be known as the kerosene hat. While the group considered themselves more drawn to roots rock or country, the album went platinum during the days of grunge as an alternative rock sound. It definitely does not follow the over produced "hair band" sound that was beginning to wane in the early 90's. Much of the album was recorded in an abandoned sound stage in Pioneertown, California, in a location so run down that the group had to round up old mattresses from junk yards to provide insulation on colder days. The band holds a music festival there each year. Wayne leads this expedition into the early 90's rock scene. LowThis single only reached number 64 on the US Billboard Hot 100, but it was number 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks. Lowery claimed that the song was not about drugs, and that the lyric is not "like being stoned," but "like being stone." Other lyrics like "a million poppies gonna make me sleep" make this claim seem a bit more dubious.Get Off ThisThe second single from the album is a response to former fans who accused Cracker of selling out to make more mainstream music. The response is obvious from the chorus: "So let's get off this, and get on with it. If you wanna change the world, shut your mouth and start to spin it."Lets Go for a Ride This deeper track is well described by the title - it is a driving song. "So, drive real fast through the underpass, and if we die or if we crash, well, I'd be flattered to be buried right next to you." Euro-Trash Girl This is a bit of a "hidden track" on the CD (coming in at #69), and is a favorite of serious Cracker fans. It was originally released on the EP "Tucson" It tells the story of a lonely guy in Europe who suffers through a series of break-ups. The band wrote this as a group, partly based on things the members had experienced, and some made up situations. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:I Can See Clearly Now by Jimmy Cliff (from the motion picture “Cool Runnings”)The appearance of the Jamaican national team in the bobsled event for the 1988 Winter Olympics inspired this movie staring John Candy. STAFF PICKS:Sober by TOOLRob brings us a grunge song from the Los Angeles band Tool. The song is off their debut album, but it was most known for its creepy stop-action video. Similarities to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" have prompted a number of mash-ups. The lyrics were inspired by a friend of the band whose creativity only came out when he was under the influence.Hey Jealousy by Gin BlossomsThe song Brian features was written by guitarist Doug Hopkins about his former girlfriend. Hopkins was fired for unreliability associated with his heavy drinking, but the song propelled the Gin Blossoms to success. Hopkins became depressed and committed suicide in December 1993. Perfectly Good Guitar by John HiattBruce's staff pick is a minor key blues number from a singer-songwriter who has worked with a tremendous amount of artists. This song from his eleventh studio album laments the way that rock stars get attention by smashing up perfectly good guitars.Bad Thing by Cry of LoveWayne's staff pick is a deeper cut. Cry of Love is out of Raleigh, North Carolina, and has a sound reminiscent of Bad Company. It was a throwback to solid 70's rock during a time when that genre of music was out of favor. Band members would go on to perform with other groups including the Black Crowes and Lynyrd Skynyrd. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Leave That Thing Alone by RushThis instrumental from the Counterpoints album is a bit of a continuation of the "Where's My Thing" instrumental from Rush's previous album.

BUD If I can - some things man ain't meant to know. RENA This demon bitch said she's "honest"? BUD So? RENA The way she said it, it seems like it meant something ... more. BUD [trying to decide] Hmm. Yeah, you can know that. Ok, I think your basic problem here is that you're thinking demons are the enemies of god, right? RENA Go on. BUD See, what you're forgetting is that in a big business, the janitors work for the same boss as the executives. Get me? MATILDA [filter] Interesting. RENA No. BUD God made folks able to choose right from wrong. He wants 'em to choose, right, sure, but if wrong ain't enticing, it ain't a fair test. MATILDA [filter] Makes sense. BUD So, you get a bunch of mooks like me running around tempting people. If they're good clean folks who would rather do the right thing, then they just don't take us up on it. Otherwise... MATILDA [filter] Sort of like if chocolate tasted like celery, we'd all be a size 8. RENA Matilda says-- BUD Skip the replay - I can hear her. RENA So, "Honest"? BUD Right, um. We have rules. We don't lie to make a deal - we omit everything under the sun, but can't tell an actual untruth. We can only offer stuff, in return for... stuff. We can't threaten folks - you know, say something like "if you don't sign, we'll kill your dog", y'know? [joking] And it's murder if you pull out the red-hot pokers. MATILDA [filter] So why hasn't he - sorry, why haven't you - tried to tempt us? BUD You're not my type. Uh, no offense - my department is fat male comedians. You may have seen some of my work. MATILDA [filter] Really? Like John Belushi? John Candy? [ghoulish] Fatty Arbuckle? BUD Far be it from me to name names, but let's just say how else would Tommy Boy and Black Sheep both get made? MATILDA [filter] Wow. So what do you... do? BUD Actually, not much. I mean, the way I roll is I don't make talentless gobs into stars - much easier to scout the ones who actually have what it takes but no luck, catch 'em at a low point, and scoop them and their haagen dasz up like sand on the beach. Do a little work - pretty much like any other agent - and reap the rewards. RENA You're a shit. BUD Pretty much like any other agent. RENA Your percentage is a little high. BUD Look, babe. It's my job. It may be a crap job, but I'm good at it. Always in the black. And you don't want to run over on these kinds of projects - the accounting department - whew! I mean, you wanna see bureacracy, go to hell. MATILDA [filter] But you could - decide not to kill Quarry? BUD Well, it seems like a wash now, but yeah - I gotta little discretion. Won't be a gold star on my record, but I stay ahead enough - basically he'd be a small loss, like losing money for a tax writeoff.

This week the boys are welcoming Deadbeat Punk from WTFDYW Podcast to discuss the only film he'll watch without being in that chair from A Clockwork Orange, it's The Blues Brothers. We include why John Landis is no longer allowed to hire a Helecoptor and what James Brown and Boris Johnson have in Common. --- The Basis of WTFDYW is cracking! Every Monday a guest tells Punk What The F*** They Want. Simple concept for a simple podcast. Get it anywhere you find your podcasts you C***s! --- The Blues Brothers is a 1980 American musical comedy film directed by John Landis.[4] It stars John Belushi as "Joliet" Jake Blues and Dan Aykroyd as his brother Elwood, characters developed from the recurring musical sketch "The Blues Brothers" on NBC variety series Saturday Night Live. The film is set in and around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed, and the screenplay was written by Aykroyd and Landis. It features musical numbers by rhythm and blues (R&B), soul, and blues singers James Brown, Cab Calloway (in his final feature film role), Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, and John Lee Hooker. It features non-musical supporting performances by Carrie Fisher, Henry Gibson, Charles Napier and John Candy. The story is a tale of redemption for paroled convict Jake and his blood brother Elwood, who set out on "a mission from God" to save from foreclosure the Roman Catholic orphanage in which they were raised. To do so, they must reunite their R&B band and organize a performance to earn $5,000 needed to pay the orphanage's property tax bill. Along the way, they are targeted by a homicidal "mystery woman", Neo-Nazis, and a country and western band—all while being relentlessly pursued by the police. Universal Studios, which had won the bidding war for the film, was hoping to take advantage of Belushi's popularity in the wake of Saturday Night Live, the film Animal House, and The Blues Brothers' musical success; it soon found itself unable to control production costs. The start of filming was delayed when Aykroyd, who was new to film screenwriting, took six months to deliver a long and unconventional script that Landis had to rewrite before production, which began without a final budget. On location in Chicago, Belushi's partying and drug use caused lengthy and costly delays that, along with the destructive car chases depicted onscreen, made the final film one of the most expensive comedies ever produced. Due to concerns that the film would fail, its initial bookings were less than half of those similar films normally received. Released in the United States on June 20, 1980, it received mostly positive reviews from critics and grossed over $115 million in theaters worldwide before its release on home video, and has become a cult classic over the years. A sequel, Blues Brothers 2000, was released in 1998 to critical and commercial failure. In 2020, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
"The story of a man who wanted to keep the world safe for democracy...and meet girls." In this week's episode, we pay tribute to the late Ivan Reitman, by discussing his comedy classic 'Stripes' which he directed. The movie stars Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Sean Young, P.J. Soles and John Candy.
