A Podcast About Bad Movies
Much like a horror movie villain, the Scream movies refuse to die, even though with every new sequel the films shed more of what that made the franchise special and the whole thing just becomes a regular ol’ slasher series. Eventually you get late installments like SCREAM 7. Some have called it the worst Scream of all! Will we agree?
Does that pun work? Like docket? Like “clearing the docket” over on our friends’ show Judge John Hodgman? Anywhoooo. Stu leads this mini where we name our “Top Three’s” and…
We say goodbye to Smalltember with a true bad movie jewel (thanks to Alonso Duralde for recommending it) — the kid/tween/teen musical comedy STANDING OVATION, one of the few movies…
Astronaut movies. What are they? Is “astronaut movie” even a genre? Elliott poses the question, and it leads to a mini that… OUT OF THIS WOOOOORLD.

We welcome Ian Grant, who — in addition to having two Jurassic Park scientist names — is the owner and proprietor of The Gremlins Museum! We discuss the 3-hour(ish) rough cut he unearthed and cleaned up, gremlin preservation, and all things Gremlins in general.
Charli XCX is a huge pop star, seems cool, and is a genuine film lover — but when she decided to make her own movie, were the results any good? That’s what we were wondering about THE MOMENT, and we invited star of the show (and bigger Charli XCX-pert than any of us) Hallie Haglund back to the show to help us decide.
Stuart brings back the world’s most popular Flop House after-show, hosted by one of the hosts of The Flop House, and this time Hallie’s here (her presence makes more sense when you realize that we taped next week’s full episode with her first, but this one was the first to release). This time, Stu asks The Flop House gang about their experiences with live shows, with some diversions into Dan, Elliott, and Hallie’s tenure as writers for The Daily Show!
Shocktober threatens to break the bounds of the fall, with this unexpected incursion into August. This aggression will not stand! Watch yourself, Shocktober! Anyway, on this episode we discuss The Mummy. The one with Brendan Fraser? No. The one with Tom Cruise? No. The one with Boris Karloff? No, silly, LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY. He wrote his name on it with Sharpie before putting it in the fridge!
Elliott guides us through an overview of movies with “summer” in the title, and asks us to evaluate them based on our own summertime experiences.
