Movie Fighters

On the show this month, Matt and Chris made and tried some selections from the Dungeons and Dragons cookbook, Heroes Feast!

Chris and Matt are enjoying some Holiday(ish) cookies from a fancy bakery sold by a national big-box store chain just before Christmas this year!

Holiday time is here, and we're challenging this Santa sequel, where Kurt Russell's Boomer Santa faces down a not-lore-accurate Belsnickel and the Yule Cat. Did we like it more than the first? Listen and find out! Also, be prepared to hear a few times from our own Yule Cat, Harrison.

The holidays are here. Dolly's got a new movie. You know what we had to do.

Listener and friend Lucas Brown sent us another bunch of chocolate bars from Australia and New Zealand, so we tried them this month!

Chris catches Matt up on the first one so they can both dive into the world of cheerleaders, zombies (who are just kind of people) and werewolves (who are just kind of folks) of this Disney Channel original movie series.

The times are unprecedented, which means Matt and Chris weren't able to acquire the same snacks to try for our spooky Halloween special this year. But they did find some sweets to try individually, and also they have some shopping stories.

In 2010, M. Night Shyamalan adapted the popular Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender into a movie that stripped it of every enjoyable thing about it. Then ten years later, we watched it for some reason.

Our episode was cursed this month, but at least we got to drink some delicious Mexican sodas in the process!

We challenged a movie that our listeners told us would make us feel better after the disappointment of Scoob!, and turns out they were right!        

We got some comfort food for this month's Snack Situation, but we also tried a very bad Bojangles-exclusive soda, so it's not all pozi.

Scoob! is a Scooby-Doo movie that's secretly a Dick Dastardly movie with weird moving-doll animation and no mysteries. We had a lot to say about it.

Kellogg's released some new Pop-Tart flavors that seem to be adult dessert Pop-Tarts, and we had to try them. Salty and sweet, but are they a treat?

On this month's show, we take on this movie about a child...villain? Maybe? that got put directly on Disney+ and is somehow directed by Kenneth Branagh.

This month, we're trying some Ben & Jerry's treats, because Ben & Jerry's has no tolerance for white supremacy, and neither do we. It's a weird time to be doing a snacks podcast.

A review copy led us to this Oscar contender and second-highest grossing movie of 2020, starring a fast blue hedgehog! Does it live up to those lofty accolades?

It's almost summer, which means it's time for ice cream! So on this month's show, Matt's trying a novelty item that brings back memories and Chris is taste-testing an ice cream that mimics another dessert!

Is this a movie? Well, kinda. What even is a movie anymore? Yes, it was originally released as a web series, but Valiant posted it as a full feature on YouTube last month, so we think it counts! And it's enjoyable, in its way. Note: The movie with the Alien from the movie Alien is actually Batman: Dead End, not Batman: Dark Justice. We got them confused. Sorry for the mistake!

We tried some snacks you can make at home with stuff from your pantry this month, based on instructional videos by Alton Brown and Brian David Gilbert!

As promised, this month we took on director Neil Marshall's 2008 movie about a team of Space Marine types going into a walled-off Scotland to fight Mad Max people. It's exactly as bananas as it sounds. Also, a quick content warning: There is some stuff in the first 10 minutes or so of this movie about a pandemic virus. It's wildly unrealistic and pretty different from what's going on now, but just wanted to mention it if it might trigger anxiety.
