Jimmy is joined by John Pavlich from the Sofa Dogs podcast to discuss B-Men, written by Dave Thomas and directed by Steve Miner. They discuss the casting, the problematic nature of a certain character and Jimmy takes the time to crap on the Clerks pilot from the last episode again. The great 80s theme to B-Men can be heard at the end of the episode.

Jimmy is once again joined by John Pavlich from the Sofa Dogs podcast to discuss Fearless a WB pilot that was due to air on Tuesdays in the fall of 2004 but vanished. The show is about an FBI agent who does not have the fear gene and is based on a series of books by the writer of Sweet Valley High. So, yeah....

A discussion on the 1991 unsold TV pilot Revenge of the Nerds, based on the 1984 film of the same name. Is it good? Is it bad? Was Robbie Rist the wrong choice for Booger? The answer to two of those questions is, "yup, absolutely". WARNING: Contains a genuine Scottish accent. Hosted by Jimmy Brown and John Pavlich.

Tweet Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs for Paul Verhoeven’s shoot-em-up classic (no not that one, and no not that one–okay he made a LOT of shoot-em-ups) RoboCop. This is the 1987 one, not the remake that is definitely terrible even tho we didn’t see it. It’s the heartwarming tale of … Continue reading RoboCop (1987) →

TweetJoin me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs for a dive into the second Avengers film. We compare it to other Marvel films, Frankenstein, and Barb Wire. We praise nearly every part of it but come out feeling like it largely missed the mark. We’re watching the Blu-ray. Cue up the first frame … Continue reading Avengers: Age of Ultron →

John Pavlich and I open up J J Abrams' mystery box and like what we see, if only because it reminds us so much of all the films we loved from our childhood. We heap praise all over the place, repeated forgive it its sins and excesses, and try to nitpick anachronisms. We're watching the Blu-ray. Start right after the Paramount logo on the countdown.

John Pavlich is back for another horror-comedy romp, this time with Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward vs sand worms. We revel in the B-movie cheesiness that works better than most A movies. We compare it to the sequels, Jaws, Maximum Overdrive, and other slasher and siege films. We speculate on the biology of the creatures and their closest living relatives. We analyze set-up and payoff. We mark the points of Val's character arcs (two of them!).

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs to get inside your head and figure out your weaknesses and use them against you. We analyze the unusual structure of the movie, play with different ways of looking at it, and try to figure out who the real villain is. (Chilton. It's Chilton.) We compare the film to other Hannibal Lector movies, Hitchcock and De Palma films, The X-Files, other horror movies and psychological thrillers, and YouTube videos. I complain about some fundamental aspects of the film despite loving it and do an impression of Lector and screaming lambs. John indulges me patiently and explains the parts I don't understand.

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs to have a look at Quentin Tarantino's other finest masterpiece. We discuss the indie film cred, the music, the dialog, the performances, and the inspirations. We have a terrific time with it, and praise it thoroly--especially the cinematography--but find fun things to gently nitpick. We debate Mr. Pink (not really) and the timeline (not really). We compare it to Tarantino's other films, Unknown (2006), The Killing, Kansas City Confidential, and Hamlet.

Matt, Mel, Will and Caitlin are joined by John Pavlich to discuss the second to last episode of Brisco. It's time to put the team together!

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs to have a look at Quentin Tarantino's finest masterpiece. We discuss the narrative structure, the characters, the themes and motifs, and the feet. We compare the film to Tarantino's other films, the films and books he pays homage to, and Robert Rodriguez's films. We try to figure out which sequence is the weakest and why some scenes are even in the movie. I think I spot Teague Chrystie's apartment. And we copyright a Beverly Hills horror movie idea.

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs once again, this time for a look at Fede Alvarez's remake of Sam Raimi's silly-fun 1981 horror flick The Evil Dead. This one is serious, flatter, and way better made (altho I still prefer the original). Thrill to the blood and mud! Squeal at the shout-outs to the original! Listen as I fail to fully interpret the film makers' intent! (In my defense, it's not on screen.)

Gabby, Alirio, Kim, and Stephanie welcome back John Pavlich of SofaDogs to the show to discuss Season 6, episode 9 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smashed.

Join me and my special guest John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs and Michael "Dorkman" Scott of What Are You Doing, Movie? as we take Alex Proyas' heartwarming tale of space vampires and terrible detectives to pieces retune it. All three of us basically love the film and gush all over the cinematography, writing, structure, and set design and try to figure out which parts are sub-awesome and how things could be slightly better. We lament the reception the film got initially, disagree over the degree of familiarity of the characters and tropes, and come to blows over Jennifer Connelly's eyebrows. (NON-PERIOD!)

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs and Faldor of the Extended Edition podcast for a thoro drubbing of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. It's the heartwarming tale of an old man trying to recapture his youth and getting his head handed to him. But enough about Ridley Scott. We examine the themes and complications, the plot twists that don't quite work, and the way the film repeatedly works against itself with their echoes of religion and the other Alien movies, as well as Stargate, Return of the Jedi, and Casablanca.

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs for a long, hard look at Rian Johnson's wobbly time travel thriller. We both like it (he more than I) and both have problems with it (I more than he). We look at Confused Matthew's take on the film, and Rian Johnson's himself. John had a Twitter conversation with him that I gamely try to retroactively explain Johnson's side of. Regardless, it's a fascinating film or two films squooshed together, depending on your point of view and, possibly, your current location in the space-time continuum.

Join me as I again join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs to watch the seventh episode of Community. We discuss how this episode feels out of place, girl bonding, Greendale's weird football field, Jeff and Annie. And say goodbye to Troy's interest in sports.

Join us! John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs and I embark on a close examination of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's ingenious zombie comedy. We spot a few of the references, but mostly talk about the fantastic acting, directing, and intricate writing that make this in my opinion and I think in John's a nearly perfect movie. We talk a little about other zombie movies and Edgar Wright movies and even other ensemble comedy movies along the way to enjoying the hell out of this flick. We're coming to get you, Barbara!

John Pavlich returns for the final time this season to discuss Episode 20 from Season 2 of How I Met Your Mother, ‘Showdown’.

Join me and John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs as we peer fixedly thru Rear Window. It's a heartbreaking tale of an impotent old man and his ravishing young girlfriend, who can't help but stare into the lives of a lonely woman, a pair of newlyweds, an older married couple, a frustrated composer, an oddball sculptor, and a wholesale jewelry salesman. Thrill to the dinner scene! Cower at the massage scene! Flutter at the Edith Head fashion show! Somehow, Alfred Hitchcock manages to keep us interested and even make us shake with fear without ever showing something so crass and common as a murder. It's one of our favorites, and we have a great time!

John Pavlich (http://www.sofadogs.libsyn.com/) and Tysto (http://www.tysto.com/) join me once again for a commentary on the 1997 sci-fi film Gattaca. This film is the freshmen effort of writer and director Andrew Niccol who has been apart of many critically acclaimed and noteworthy films such as Lord of War and The Truman Show. Even if you're not interested in his works it can be said that looking at the credits of Andrew Niccol his oeuvre definitely reflects a unique eye and style.  Please join us as John, Tysto, and myself examine some of the finer points of Gattaca. Some of our discussions include -- its relevance in today's world, (was it perhaps ahead of its time?) the philosophical debate of free will versus determinism, it's place in the realm of mystery noir as well as retro sci-fi, it's wonderful score and set design, and my admiration of Ethan Hawke. Sync Point: The black point immediately after the Columbia Pictures logo has faded away. This commentary was recorded using a Region 1 DVD Any comments our questions please visit or community forum: http://soullessminions.yuku.com/

John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs Podcast and I have a good time with the commandos vs zombies picture Resident Evil. We prepare to take it apart but— but— for all its flaws, we basically love the damn thing. So join us as we examine the structure, the references to the game and to Alice in Wonderland, the cribs from other action films, and which handsome white dude is which. We speculate as to why the commandos would leave their gas masks and take the people they're "rescuing" deeper into danger, why Alice decided on combat boots instead of heels, and why the the Red Queen wants to chop everyone's head off so badly. And we try to figure out who just got killed and who really remembers what when, and and whether or not Michelle Rodriguez plays the tough, streetwise kitty in the 2008 direct-to-video A Cat's Tale.

John Pavlich and I watch the low-budget King-Darabont horror The Mist! This is my first commentary for a movie I outright dislike. John is more forgiving... at least until the end. But we keep it light and have a great time picking it apart and still give credit where credit is due. We try to figure out exactly what bugs* us about it and what could have been done to fix it. We compare it to High Noon, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", Alien, and Footloose. And I sing a little Joan Baez. So... don't miss that.

One, two, Freddy's comin' for you and John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs podcast and me as we watch Freddy and Johnny Depp's debuts in a heartwarming coming-of-age story. We wax rhapsodical about Wes Craven and other low-budget horror. We compare this film to others of its type and to the remake. And we forgive any and all faults with the possible exception of John Saxon's comb-over. Listen as we deconstruct the film as an allegory for young adulthood, parental neglect, fear of the dark, female empowerment, and unwanted hat pregnancy. And don't miss Roger Rabbit's poster of a kitty riding a trolley!

Join me and John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs podcast again, this time for a freaky, gooey ride thru Cronenberg-land, a land of magic and mystery and "flesh" and cool cars, located near scenic Toronto. We analyze the themes of substance abuse, transformation, and disease; wonder who is the craziest character; and ultimately blame the whole mess on the baboon. We marvel at the economy and deftness of storytelling, discuss the tragic romance and operatic angle, and compare it to the sequel, to the first draft, and somewhat to other transformation monster movies. I call the film nearly perfect and declare Jeff Goldblum to be his Goldblumiest.
