POPULARITY
No one demanded it but we're here nonetheless to celebrate a momentous occasion: the 41st anniversary of the original broadcast date (June 23, 1983) of the absolutely bonkers failed TV pilot Wishman! When you hear the name Wishman, do you immediately think of a wish-granting genie? We did too, but oh how we were wrong. Instead we are presented with a bizarre Mac & Me-esque creature, with big eyes and gurgling vocals, who can control electricity when the plot dictates it. He's also a big pervert who likes spying on women in the shower and watching his adopted parents makeout. We also get early hacking and A.I., a busy dad who doesn't appreciate his son's skateboarding skills, and the beautiful sight of a limp doll body being shoved in a giant sack of dog food. And thanks to the generosity of Eternal Family (a site that we may have dreamed up) you too can enjoy this very misguided episode of television for free right now.

We're kicking off "FRIENDruary" with a look at Paul Rudd's "favorite" movie, 1988's Mac & Me. Both a shameless rip-off of Steven Spielberg's E.T. AND a shameless fast-food commercial disguised as a movie, Mac & Me is that special sort of crazy that only Hollywood in the 80s could give us. Over the years, it's developed quite the cult following, but does it truly deserve it? We discuss that question, as well as the thin line between "cute" and "terrifying," the unbelievable alternate ending, and more. So join us for a McDonald's Dance Party and listen on!

Last week, we reviewed what many consider to be the greatest film of all time. So this week, Rocco felt like we needed to go into the opposite direction. We watched Mac & Me starring the ugliest creature ever devised for film. You won't believe what we thought- no, no you will actually.

We are nearing the end of our 80s film adventure. We look at some great (and not so great) movies of 1988. From ‘Young Guns' and ‘They Live' to ‘Mac & Me' and ‘Killer Clowns from Outer Space.'

Set in California, Mac & Me follows young Eric Cruise as he attempts to catch, befriend and eventually save a disturbing looking alien child who is addicted to Coca Cola. A movie that is almost universally hated by critics, how will Mac & Me fair when considered through the lens of disability?
This week on It Was a Thing on TV if you think you know a lot about Early FOX in the Late 1980's then you don't know beans. If you thought a high schooler couldn't also double as a secret agent trying to find his father, you don't know Beans. Come for the Beans, stay for the plethora of references to HBO's Encyclopedia Brown from the early 90s and the clip from Mac & Me.

Every 50 episodes, Double Edged Double Bill likes to celebrate! Given Adam & Thomas have two good and two bad picks to choose from every week, one pairing goes on and another gets left in the dust. However, for milestones like episode 150, two films from the rubbish pile are given a chance at redemption! First, McDonalds tries to get on the E.T. money train with Mac & Me! Then, a sci-fi classic gets a worthy sequel after three decades in Blade Runner 2049! Together, our duo answers the important questions. Does every McDonalds have an hourly dance competition? How much acting is Jared Leto really doing? Which two films will they choose for next week's return to video game inspired films? Well, grab your Coke products and ponder the nature of humanity to find out! Please help out Shakyl’s mother Olga’s Cancer Treatment Fund if you can!

This week we reviewed the 1994 cult film about a teen cheerleader (Denise Richards) who's boyfriend (Paul Walker) is killed and then re-animated as an animatronic T-Rex. Yes that is the plot of this movie. From the director of Mac & Me. ENJOY! (Someone has to)
This episode we invite you to our first Punishment Review. So we thought why not start with the worst of the worst? The "film" is the one and only Mac & Me.

This international break episode finds the pod topped and tailed with football chat but with a substantial filling sprinkled with Mac & Me, Mac and Cheese, and a whole lotta hundreds and thousands! One of our hosts is very tired from having a baby less than 24 hours previous (although I think his girlfriend/baby momma did most of the work), but still records to let the MOPheads know how Accrington Stanley got their name, among other things!

Well folks, we made it to 200 episodes and it took this long to finally visit a movie that trumps Mac & Me in being the worst E.T. rip off of all time. Most people tend to forget all about MUNCHIE, until they see his stupid ugly face with Dom DeLuise's voice spewing out of it and then remember why they forgot in the first place. Not only is this movie often forgotten, but it is also forgotten that this is actually a "sequel" to the film Munchies; sequel being used in the loosest sense possible. If you too would like to enjoy MUNCHIE you can find it in full on YouTube at the moment and then on bluray this coming November courtesy of Shout Factory. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bmoviebreakdown/support
This week we're diving deeper into the alien contact & invasion genre to bring you Scott & Max's Top 5 Alien Invasion/Contact Films. Now, our rules were that we can't just list movies we've watched (Sorry, Mac & Me), and that it has to at least be partially set on Earth as a Human-Focused Story. We bend these rules when we need to, of course. What is your favorite alien contact/invasion movie? Let us know at TheCriticalBreakdownPodcast@gmail.com.
This week in film we watched Top Gun (1986) and Steve Jobs (2015) . Charlie skipped out on this episode to avoid the wrath of Mac & Me, so that gives us the chance to welcome Ray to the show!

Just before hitting the big time in Friends, Matt LeBlanc starred as a wannabe gangster in this crime drama. LeBlanc perfectly embodied Joey, so it might be difficult to accept him in a serious role. Will Lou Rawls break into song? Will anyone from the Sopranos make an appearance? And would it be a better film if it starred Joey Tribbiani? Ben and Foz order in a calzone to see if LeBlanc’s last pre-Friends work is more Mac & Cheese or Mac & Me. Don't be shy.

The writer and director of Mac & Me talk about their masterpiece
We’re pitting one of film history’s all-time classics—the Stephen Spielberg masterpiece, E.T.—against the J.J. Abram's 2001 film clearly inspired by it, Super 8. Featuring: Josiah DePaoli, Garrett Holmes, Matt Hughes, Mike Jensen, Peter Nikiforov, Josh Porter, Patrick Porter, and Tyler Hanns.Major spoilers for E.T. and Super 8, as well as minor/abstract spoilers for: Psycho, Interstellar, Mac & Me, Peanuts, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Muppet Movie, Mad Max: Fury Road, Wall-E, Star Wars Episode I, Independence Day, Austin Powers, Cloverfield, White Fang, Harry and the Hendersons, The Iron Giant, Goonies, Indiana Jones, and Thomas the Tank Engine (again).
After a week off we are back with an all new episode of the podcast! This week on B Movie Breakdown we watched ‘The Peanut Butter Solution’ from 1985. This movie has easily broken into the ranks of one of the best worst movies of all time. Yes folks it’s that insane….Troll 2/Mac & Me insane. SO many crazy and absurd things happen in this movie that we had a hard time figuring out where to start. Eleven-year-old Michael loses all of his hair when he gets a fright and uses a potion, given to him by two ghosts of recently deceased hobos, to get his hair back. Little does he know, too much peanut butter can cause things to get a bit hairy. But this movie has so much more going on that just this hairy situation. There are so man WTF moments in this movie that we won’t spoil them here, so head over to YouTube and watch the movie for yourself and then come back here and check out Episode 75! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bmoviebreakdown/support
This week on the podcast we discuss one of the greatest B Movies of all time! A movie that, until last year, had never seen the light of day (except like 8 theaters in Florida). And all thanks to Alamo Drafthouse films, MIAMI CONNECTION was able to be released and shown to the masses. Joining me (Corey) this week is Timmy Blaze & Chris from The T-Dawg Blizzlepops Comsey Stand Show to dicuss a movie far greater than Troll 2, Mac & Me, and The Room! In Orlando the Tai-Kwon-Do synth-rock band Dragon Sound must stop the Miami Ninja and get rid of their stupid cocaine! Does the band have what it take to defeat these ninjas and continue performing at the local night club, with dreams of a violence free world tour? Just wait and see! WE 100% RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS MOVIE!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bmoviebreakdown/support
In which Thom & Andru frisbee-dog their way through fandom frustrations, pretty puzzle-boxes, cinematic shame lists, semi-intended sequels, and more with movie uber-geek Travis J Coleman. Plus, 4th week favorites, multiple calls, and a dose of Mac love (not to mention Mac & Me love.) Mild spoilers for Prometheus (go see it already!) and Dark Shadows.
