The Trash Heap

Sylvester Stallone wakes up in an extremely clean future where everyone's a nerd and it's his job to take down history's coolest criminal in Demolition Man (1993). Plus: Madame Web, Robodoc, and more. 100 episodes!

Just what is a Keep, exactly? We spent roughly 5 seconds investigating and devoted the rest of our time to talking about a golem killing Nazis in Michael Mann's The Keep (1983).

Ready to have all the fun ripped out of your favorite coming-of-age, off-beat comedy? Proceed with caution as we take Angus (1995) to the cleaners. Sorry, in advance.

The time has finally come for us to talk about a teen lesbian sex comedy and it's everything we hoped for. You guessed it, it's Bottoms (2023). Plus: PTA, Licorice Pizza, and a fun round of What Would You Do?

Denzel Washington is on a quest to find someone to explain time travel to him in simple terms...and fails in Deja Vu (2006). Plus: the sandwich debate of our lives rages on.

Sorry for the technical difficulties this week. For those who possess the intestinal fortitude to sit through a sub-par listening experience, a look back at Macaulay Culkin's dark & twisted journey through The Good Son (1993) awaits. Next episode: we're plugging in both ends of the mic cord.

JCVD is a single dad battling terrorists at the Stanley Cup Finals in Sudden Death (1995). Can he win back the respect of his kids and still have time to save the Vice President of the United States? Also: Elliot spills the beans on the Secret Service.

Now that Donald Glover is an award-winning mega-star and creative juggernaut, it's time to exhume his first film and see how it measures up. Does Mystery Team (2009) live on as a cult classic or should it stay buried? We're on the case.

Happy Trashoween! Join us for a terrifying trip around the world as we round up some of our favorite international horror picks to take your October view to a new level. Can you survive long enough to make it home? Let's find out.

Our pre-Trashoween kickoff is off to a rocky start with the occult insanity of The Church (1989) and the salacious hijinks of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988). It couldn't possibly get any worse, right...RIGHT!?

The Doctor is in! We're headed to the middle of the ocean to meet a hyena wearing pants, a monkey in a tuxedo, and a genius with a bucket on his head as we take a fresh look at The Island of Doctor Moreau (1996). Plus: vampires, the secrets of licorice revealed, and more.

Nobody listened. Nobody followed the rules. Joe Dante's Gremlins II is untethered insanity of the highest order and we've got a few things to say about it.

Mutants, mayhem, martial arts...and more mutants. It's finally time to bust out of our shells and revisit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). Don't forget the penicillin.

Paging Mr. Herman...Mr. Herman to the front desk. We remember the late Paul Reubens with a nice chat about the often overlooked Big Top Pee Wee (1988).

Can a whale hold a grudge? We take a deep dive into Orca the Killer Whale (1977) to find the answer. Plus: Italian zombies, Jaws sequels, and more.

Join us on a trip to Hot Take City as we react to the latest trailers for The Meg II, Five Nights at Freddy's, Kraven the Hunter and more.

FIRST TIME WATCH. We're checking out Eraser (1996) for the very first time. Should it be protected at all costs or disappear forever without a trace? Also, prepare your brain for a bafflingly incorrect timeline of Arnold Schwarzenegger's political career, chicken wings, a livestock toddler, and so much more.

It's time to take a trip back to the awkward and quirky year of 2009 to revisit the 3rd film from the creators of Napoleon Dynamite. Grab your favorite yeast, saddle up your battle stag, and prepare yourself for Gentlemen Broncos.

Druid nannies, chainsaw dismemberments, coyote wolves, unchecked references and so much more. Why don't you make like a tree and listen while we unpack William Friedkin's The Guardian (1990).

A post apocalyptic future? Grimy hunks? Dragons? Tomatoes? That can only mean one thing: Reign of Fire (2003).
