In this powerful episode of Shat the Movies, hosts Gene Lyons and Big D, Dick Ebert, journey down under to revisit Peter Weir's 1981 war drama Gallipoli. Commissioned by listener Mac in Texas, this Australian New Wave classic stars a young Mel Gibson and Mark Lee as two spirited athletes drawn into the brutal realities of World War I. The Shat crew reflects on how Gallipoli flips the traditional war movie formula, building deep emotional connections with its characters long before the first shots are fired. From the dusty outback to the trenches of the Dardanelles, Gene and Big D dissect the film's themes of friendship, blind patriotism, and the gut-wrenching cost of war. They also explore how the film balances coming-of-age charm with historical tragedy—right up to its final freeze frame. With heartfelt insights, personal stories, and a few unexpected laughs along the way (yes, venereal diseases and desert treks come up), this episode reminds us why some war films hurt in all the right ways. Plot SummaryGallipoli is a 1981 Australian war drama directed by Peter Weir and starring Mel Gibson and Mark Lee. Set during World War I, the film follows two young sprinters from Western Australia—Archie and Frank—who enlist in the Australian Imperial Force and are eventually sent to fight in the doomed Gallipoli campaign. Through their journey, the film explores themes of friendship, national identity, disillusionment, and the tragic futility of war, culminating in one of cinema's most unforgettable endings.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're kicking some serious butt with Street Fighter (1994)! Join us as we dive into the live-action adaptation of the iconic video game, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile. It's a chaotic, campy, action-packed ride full of over-the-top performances, questionable fight scenes, and plenty of laughs. Whether you're a fan of the game or just love ‘90s action flicks, tune in for a hilarious deep dive into this cult classic! Plot SummaryIn the 1994 action film Street Fighter, directed by Steven E. de Souza and loosely based on the hit video game series, Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Colonel Guile, the all-American military hero leading a multinational force to stop the evil warlord General M. Bison, played with over-the-top flair by Raul Julia in his final film role. Set in the fictional nation of Shadaloo, the movie follows Guile's mission to rescue hostages and bring down Bison's plans for world domination. Bison has kidnapped dozens of civilians and demands a massive ransom, threatening their lives. While Guile prepares for a full-scale assault, a tangled web of subplots unfolds: Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen), a reporter with a personal vendetta against Bison, works undercover to get close to her enemy; meanwhile, hustlers Ryu (Byron Mann) and Ken (Damian Chapa) are caught between working with arms dealer Sagat (Wes Studi) and Guile's forces. Add to the mix Dhalsim, Blanka, Zangief, Cammy, E. Honda, Balrog, and Vega—many of whom are barely recognizable from their video game counterparts—and the film becomes a chaotic patchwork of characters and plot threads. Despite its wildly uneven tone, cheesy dialogue, and loose connection to its source material, Street Fighter has earned cult status thanks to its campy fun and Raul Julia's scene-stealing performance. His portrayal of Bison is operatic, charismatic, and quotable—offering the movie's most memorable moments. Join our podcast review as we revisit this infamous 90s video game adaptation, exploring whether its action, absurd charm, and unintentional comedy make it a guilty pleasure or just a first-round KO.

What up, Beasts. This conversation with Shaté lit my soul on fire. From the moment we met, it felt like two introverted empaths met at a crossroads of “I love people” and “Please don't talk to me.” Shaté is this wildly wise, soft-spoken powerhouse who helps people build careers from the inside out. She shared how her own health, and we're talking mental, emotional, and spiritual here, was deeply impacted by learning to accept herself, own her nonlinear story, and stop people-pleasing her way through life. We unpacked the kind of self-awareness that only therapy, boundaries, and aging into your full damn self can teach you. She reminded me (and maybe you too?) that being “too sensitive” isn't a flaw. It's a freakin' superpower.We also dove deep into the wild idea that maybe becoming isn't about adding more; maybe it's about unbecoming all the noise we picked up along the way. The boxes. The masks. The “who do you want me to be” energy. Shaté dropped some truth bombs about how your career is part of your health, how loving your work actually improves your physical and financial well-being, and how self-expression might just be the path to everything you've ever wanted. This episode isn't just a pep talk. It's a permission slip to build a life that feels like home to you. Be your favorite person now. Don't wait.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Shaté Hayes is the secret weapon behind countless career success stories.

What do you get when you mix cyberpunk philosophy, a rave in a cave, and a thousand Mr. Smiths? A sequel so ambitious it broke Big D's brain and made Gene question reality itself. This week, the Shat Crew finishes up listener Jeremiah's Sci-Fi Through The Ages series by plugging into The Matrix Reloaded, a film that doubles down on slow-mo kung fu, pleather trench coats, and high-concept jargon that may or may not mean anything. Is Neo still "The One," or just another guy with a Superman complex? Did Trinity and Neo's love scene spark human emotion—or just a need for brain bleach? And what's up with the Keymaker, the Merovingian, and that architect making coochie cakes? Prepare for laughs, rants, and maybe even some deep thoughts as we decode the most audacious freeway chase ever put on film. Whether you're Team Zion or just here for the bullet time, this is The Matrix Reloaded like only Shat can deliver. Plot Summary In The Matrix Reloaded, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus return to fight for the survival of Zion, the last human city resisting machine domination. As Neo grapples with his destiny as "The One," he discovers deeper layers of the Matrix's control and faces powerful new adversaries like the upgraded Agent Smith and the enigmatic Merovingian. With time running out before a massive machine attack, the crew races to unlock the path to the Source and ultimately, human freedom.

A short discussion between two homies.
This week on "Shat the Movies," we're running headfirst into The Running Man (1987), the action-packed sci-fi thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Join us as we break down the high-stakes game show, over-the-top villains, and the unforgettable one-liners in this satirical dystopian classic. Whether you're a fan or new to it, get ready for a fast-paced and fun discussion! Plot SummaryIn the year 2019, America is a totalitarian state where the favorite television program is “The Running Man” — a game show in which prisoners must run to freedom to avoid a brutal death. Having been made a scapegoat by the government, an imprisoned Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has the opportunity to make it back to the outside again by being a contestant on the deadly show, although the twisted host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), has no intention of letting him escape.

This week on Shat The Movies, Gene and Big D close out the original Star Wars trilogy with a deep dive into Return of the Jedi (1983). Fueled by nostalgia, Minute Maid and vodka cocktails, and the crushing realization that not all endings stick the landing, the hosts explore the Ewok invasion, Jabba's deadly circus act, Boba Fett's humiliating demise, and the absurdity of Imperial helmet design. From Luke's questionable Force skills to the Empire's laughable "elite troops," nothing escapes the Shat boys' critical eye. Along the way, they celebrate Carrie Fisher's iconic (if problematic) gold bikini moment, mourn for Ewoks lost in battle, and dream up a darker, deadlier version of Endor warfare. Was this the fitting finale Star Wars deserved—or an early warning of Lucas' merchandising empire run amok? Tune in to find out! Plot SummaryA year after Han Solo's capture, Luke Skywalker launches a risky mission to free his friend from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt. After a daring escape involving Sarlacc pits, lightsabers and a lot of questionable strategy, the Rebel Alliance turns its attention to the Empire's new and even deadlier Death Star. Luke confronts Darth Vader once more, hoping to save his father from the Emperor's grip, while Han, Leia, and a band of unlikely Ewok allies attempt to destroy the shield generator on Endor. The fate of the galaxy hinges on battles fought in the forest and the throne room—where redemption, betrayal, and tiny bear-like warriors collide.

Aside from being The King Bee's designated second-date movie, Robert Altman's "Popeye" is the film Robin Williams was born to carry. A charming Shelley Duvall, an incredible set piece in the town of Sweethaven, terrifically off-tune songs and mutterings designed to be enjoyed on mushrooms power this 1980 movie based on a 1929 comic strip.

The 21st century has brought new forms of inspiration for TV shows. This show is an example of that, taking one social media user's rants about his father as the basis of a comedy series. In what we believe is beautiful casting, the father is played by William Shatner, whose 94th birthday is coming this Saturday. With the Shat, you never know what $h*! he may say.
This week on "Shat the Movies," we're heading to Summer School (1987), where a laid-back gym teacher, played by Mark Harmon, ends up teaching a summer school class full of misfit students. Join us as we break down the movie's fun blend of comedy, heart, and unforgettable characters. Whether you're a fan or a first-time viewer, get ready for a laugh-filled trip back to the '80s! Plot Summary: In the 1987 comedy Summer School, directed by Carl Reiner, Mark Harmon stars as Freddy Shoop, a laid-back high school gym teacher whose summer plans take an unexpected detour when he's forced to teach remedial English to a class of underachieving misfits. Shoop, more interested in surfing and relaxing than academics, has no choice but to take the job if he wants to keep his tenure. At first, Shoop struggles to connect with his students, a rowdy group of slackers, class clowns, and troublemakers, including the horror-obsessed duo Chainsaw (Dean Cameron) and Dave (Gary Riley), the pregnant teenager Rhonda (Shawnee Smith), and the shy but determined Denise (Kelly Jo Minter). With no real teaching experience, Shoop's unconventional methods involve field trips, bribery, and an anything-goes approach to learning, which earns him the students' loyalty but draws the ire of the school's administration. Meanwhile, Shoop finds himself drawn to Robin Bishop (Kirstie Alley), a fellow teacher who is far more dedicated to her job but amused by Shoop's antics. As the summer progresses, Shoop begins to take his responsibilities more seriously, realizing that his students need more than just an easy ride to pass their exams. With their academic futures on the line, Shoop and his students must find a way to turn their laziness into success before the final test. Summer School is a quintessential 80s comedy, blending humor, heart, and a cast of quirky characters into an underdog story that celebrates unconventional teaching and second chances. Join our podcast review as we revisit this feel-good comedy, discussing its humor, memorable moments, and whether its charm still resonates today.

This week on "Shat the Movies," we're exploring Three Kings (1999), a gritty, action-packed satire set during the Gulf War. Join us as we dive into the film's blend of humor, action, and social commentary, led by an all-star cast including George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Ice Cube. Whether you're a fan of the genre or new to the film, get ready for a thought-provoking and entertaining discussion! Plot Summary:In the 1999 war satire Three Kings, directed by David O. Russell, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Ice Cube star as a group of disillusioned U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq at the end of the Gulf War. When they discover a hidden map leading to a stash of stolen Kuwaiti gold, they embark on what they believe will be a quick and easy heist. However, their mission takes an unexpected turn, forcing them to confront the brutal realities of war, morality, and human suffering. Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), a cynical and seasoned Special Forces officer nearing retirement, leads the operation alongside Sergeant Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), a naive reservist, Staff Sergeant Chief Elgin (Ice Cube), a pragmatic soldier, and Private Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze), an unpredictable and reckless grunt. Initially motivated by greed, the team infiltrates an Iraqi bunker in search of gold bars hidden by Saddam Hussein's regime. However, as they navigate war-torn Iraq, they encounter civilians desperately trying to escape oppression, revealing the true human cost of the conflict. As their plan unravels, the soldiers are faced with a moral dilemma: take the gold and escape, or risk their lives to help the suffering Iraqi people. What starts as a self-serving heist turns into an unexpected rescue mission, filled with explosive confrontations, tense shootouts, and moments of dark humor. The film's unique blend of action, satire, and social commentary highlights the absurdity of war while keeping audiences engaged with dynamic storytelling and stylish cinematography. Three Kings remains a standout war film, mixing humor, action, and political critique in a way that feels both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Whether you're running a business, managing a nonprofit, or just trying to share your message with the world a good story is the key to connecting with people. Stories bring ideas to life, giving them color and shape that facts and figures alone just can't match. That's why I was so excited to chat with Shaté Hayes . She is a creative strategist with a fascinating background as a professional dancer and choreographer. Her career has been built on crafting stories—first on the stage and now as a tool for business leaders looking to inspire action. Our conversation was a wonderful reminder that, whether you're working on a stage or in a boardroom, storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in your toolkit. Here are the key takeaways from our chat: Start by Collecting Your Puzzle Pieces Before you can craft a great story, you need to gather all the raw materials. Building a story is like assembling a puzzle—laying out data, testimonials, and even permissions to use specific anecdotes. The more pieces you collect, the easier it is to see the full picture and decide what's most compelling. Choose Stories That Align with Your Purpose Not every story or element you collect will make the cut. Pick stories that reflect your business's core mission and goals. Think of it like packing for a trip: you don't need to bring everything, just the essentials that will get you where you want to go. Focus on the Human Element Some of the most impactful stories aren't about big numbers or dramatic events—they're about small, relatable moments. Look for human moments that connect people, it is not about a bland testimonial of how they liked working with your, but a compelling explanation of how you helped them solve a problem and how that felt for both of you. Tailor Stories to the Right Platforms From Instagram Reels to LinkedIn posts, stories shine when they're shared in a way that fits the platform. Shaté reminded me that we don't need to be everywhere—just where our audience is—and to play to each platform's strengths, like video for TikTok or text posts for LinkedIn. Every Business Has a Story Worth Sharing Forget the myth that stories must be extraordinary to be meaningful. Even seemingly simple experiences—like how you overcame a challenge or found a creative solution—can resonate with your audience. It's about being real and relatable.

Happy New Year's Eve, movie lovers! This week, the Shat crew bids farewell to 2024 with a truly twisted trip back to 1999 and Joel Schumacher's descent into darkness: 8mm. Nicholas Cage trades in his bees for smokes, Joaquin Phoenix dons the most questionable crop tops ever filmed, and we discover that apparently, “Are you a cop?” is still the universal password for underground crime rings. Join Gene Lyons and Big D as they wrestle with the true horrors of the film: not just snuff movies, but also parenting during awkward sex scenes, inexplicably bad investigative decisions, and the economics of murder in an era where a 20-inch shovel costs less than a Big Mac combo. Is 8mm a misunderstood thriller or a time capsule of 1999's obsession with edgy “dark detective” tales? Find out if this cinematic black hole ends the year with a bang or just wipes itself out. Spoiler alert: It's not the bees, but it might be the belly tees.

This week on "Shat the Movies," we're diving into Thief (1981), Michael Mann's gritty, neon-lit crime drama starring James Caan. Join us as we explore the world of Frank, a professional thief with a plan, as he navigates loyalty, betrayal, and the high cost of trust. We'll discuss the film's stylish direction, intense performances, and its influence on later crime thrillers. Whether you're a fan of Mann's work or new to this classic, tune in for a deep dive into one of the best heist films of the ‘80s! Plot Summary: In the 1981 neo-noir crime thriller Thief, directed by Michael Mann, James Caan stars as Frank, a skilled safecracker and professional thief who dreams of leaving his criminal life behind to pursue a normal existence. Frank operates with precision and discipline, running his own crew and keeping his operations clean and professional. His ultimate goal is to settle down with his girlfriend, Jessie (Tuesday Weld), and start a family. Frank's plans take a turn when a powerful Chicago mob boss, Leo (Robert Prosky), offers him a lucrative job with promises of financial security and a quick path to retirement. Initially reluctant, Frank agrees to the deal, lured by the prospect of fulfilling his dream. However, as he becomes entangled in Leo's web of control, Frank realizes that walking away from the mob may be harder—and deadlier—than he anticipated. The film features one of its most iconic scenes early on: an intense, wordless safecracking sequence that showcases Frank's meticulous craftsmanship, set against a haunting score by Tangerine Dream. As the story unfolds, Frank's moral code is tested, and his determination to break free from his past leads to explosive confrontations with Leo and his henchmen. Thief is a quintessential Michael Mann film, blending atmospheric visuals, urban grit, and a character-driven story of ambition and betrayal. James Caan's powerhouse performance captures the complexity of a man struggling to reconcile his criminal skills with his desire for a better life. The film's themes of independence, loyalty, and personal freedom resonate through its high-stakes narrative and stunning action sequences. Join our podcast review as we revisit Thief, discussing its intense heist scenes, iconic soundtrack, and whether this neo-noir classic still stands as one of the best in its genre today.

Channing, dubbed “The Pentagram Killer,” is sentenced to death and executed in the gas chamber. However, Logan soon learns that Channing's death was only the beginning. The killer made a demonic pact granting him "the first power," a supernatural ability to return from the dead with the power of possession.

"Halloween" is the most-covered franchise in the Shat The Movies catalogue, and this Spooktacular season we're bringing you "Halloween 2," courtesy of listener Rob T.

In this episode, Gene and Big D cover dental records, journalism, razor blades in candy, hot tubs, medical malpractice, forced sedation and getting shot in the eyeballs.

Shat The Movies historically has been less than kind to Stephen King. So this years Spooktacular commissioner, Rob T, challenged us to rewind to the Master of Horror's first work: "Carrie." Aside from its massive pop-culture impact, this 1976 hit showcased Sissy Spacek's incredible acting skill and Brian De Palma's directorial prowess. "Carrie" also introduced the Shat Crew to Googly-Eyed Jesus, exercise detention and shockingly effective use of slow-motion while leading us to ask whether the movie poster gave away too much. Is Stephen King the Hoobastank of authors? How clearly can a person speak while blowing John Travolta? And which utensils are appropriate for killing your mom? We tackle these questions and more, just in time for Halloween.

Just what does it take to be among Entertainment Weekly's "50 Best High School Movies?" According to "Just One of The Guys," a film needs to be horny, depict decent journalism and have a jaw-dropping fight scene. Bonus points for cross-dressing. This 1985 adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" shocked Dick Ebert with its depictions of a boys locker room, delighted Gene Lyons with its outlandish characters and ventured dangerously close to cringe with a surprise James Brown reference.

However, when Wanda and Otto double-cross George, hoping to take the diamonds for themselves, things quickly spiral out of control. George is arrested, but not before he secretly moves the diamonds to a hidden location, giving Wanda and Otto no choice but to try to manipulate George's timid and animal-loving accomplice, Ken Pile (Michael Palin), who is fiercely loyal to George and has no intention of divulging the secret. Wanda decides to seduce George's barrister, Archie Leach (John Cleese), believing he can provide vital information on the diamonds' whereabouts. As Archie, a stuffy, unfulfilled lawyer stuck in a loveless marriage, becomes captivated by Wanda's charms, he unwittingly finds himself caught up in a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and escalating chaos. Meanwhile, Otto, jealous of Wanda's growing attraction to Archie, adds to the pandemonium with his violent outbursts and comically misguided attempts at sabotage. A Fish Called Wanda combines witty dialogue, slapstick humor, and masterful performances to create a comedic masterpiece that has delighted audiences for decades.
