Amazon Prime's Gen V (Season 1) Review
EThe TV universe for THE BOYS is growing on Amazon Prime, and the first spin-off (not counting the cartoon spin-off DIABOLICAL because it was animated) has arrived! GEN V follows a group of super powered college students at God U as they navigate not only their personal problems, but um, much bigger problems like extinction!

ELEMENTARY FSJ: The Marvels Review
ESometimes trying to get the Film School Janitors to watch something is like pulling teeth. So why not turn to those still loosing their teeth! The Elementary Film School Janitors watched THE MARVELS and this is their review!

Netflix's One Piece (Season 1) Review
EIt's time for another round of "live-action adaptation of a beloved anime!" This time it's ONE PIECE, and how does the show compare to the cartoon and manga? Luckily, some the Film School Janitors know the source material so they bring insight to their review. Yes, I said they bring insight. Why so surprised?!

Five Nights at Freddy's Review
EIt's time for another round of "it's a movie based on a video game!" This time around, it's a live-action adaptation of the cult horror game series FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. Do you find animatronic creatures and people creepy? Are you afraid of flickering lights and do jump scares give you glee? Apparently, play the game instead. And check out this review to see what the Film School Janitors thought about the movie...

NCU 68: The Croods (2013) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: THE CROODS Yes, it's another cartoon, but there are only a few left. But this one is definitely one-third to one-half Nic Cage's movie. He's kind of the main character? He's not just voice working for an hour in a closet! Check it out, or just check out this podcast.

NCU 67: Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES Wait. Isn't this a film based on a spinoff animated TV shows that's definitely made for juvenile minds? That's why the Janitors loved it! But what does it have to do with Nic Cage? You'll have to watch and/or listen (and/or look at the hashtags for a clue) to find out!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: The Dead Don't Die (2019) Review
EHave you even heard of THE DEAD DON'T DIE, a zombie film starring Bill Murray and Adam Driver? At least one of the Film School Janitors hadn't. What's it about? A zombie breakout from the view a small town. Are they fast zombies? Nothing is fast about this movie...

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s Ahsoka (Season 1) Review
EInitially, two of the Film School Janitors watched all of AHSOKA and started reviewing it. Then they took a break so the third (and final) Janitor could watch it. Guess who did what, or just listen to find out what they thought about STAR WARS REBELS SEASON 5, er, SEASON 1 (?) of AHSOKA!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Peacock's Twisted Metal (Season 1) Review
EThe Film School Janitors finally got their "trucks" in a row (see what I did there?! I quack me up!) and watched the television adaptation of TWISTED METAL. How did it compare to the video game where everybody just drives around shooting each other? Listen to find out!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Freddy vs. Jason (2003) Review
EJust in time for spooky season, the Film School Janitors found a copy of FREDDY VS. JASON to rewatch! Did the epic battle live up to the memories of the Janitors, or did the 20 years in-between murder too many brain cells? Listen to find out!

NCU 66: Astro Boy (2009) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make!

Like he got a paycheck? Listen to hear more!

NCU 65: World Trade Center (2006) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make!

NCU SUMMER FINALE: Pirates of the Plain (1999) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are working hard on their studies at Nic Cage University, so that why they're taking a break this summer... and watching ERNEST (and almost ERNEST) movies! Last up: PIRATES OF THE PLAIN This is the end of the NCU SUMMER BREAK, and the Film School Janitors decided to watch what could have been the tenth ERNEST film, or at least a pivot for star JIM VARNEY. Ernest creator and collaborator and film series writer/director (at least most of them), JOHN CHERRY helms this film about a pirate that gets transported to a Nebraska wheat field two-hundred years in his future where E.T.'s mom hates her son's imagination. Wish I was joking! I guess summer truly is over!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Review
EAre we truly entering the next era of beautiful animation? Not counting all the gross booger-y mutant-y things... The Film School Janitors watched TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM and this is their review!

NETFLIX AND CHILLED: Pee-Wee's Big Holiday (2016) Review

NCU SUMMER BREAK: Ernest in the Army (1998) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are working hard on their studies at Nic Cage University, so that why they're taking a break this summer... and watching ERNEST movies! Time for the final film: ERNEST IN THE ARMY (It's about a terrorist organization trying to get a top secret missile and Ernest's troop of army reservists and a reporter have to save the day! I made it sound way more interesting than it probably is!) Hopefully the Film School Janitors enjoyed their NCU SUMMER BREAK!

Oppenheimer Review
EIt's difficult to find joy in the subject matter of the film, but in the hype around it - what fun! The Film School Janitors have completed "Barbenheimer" by finally watching OPPENHEIMER. Does the film justify its three-hour runtime? Listen to their review to find out!

NCU SUMMER BREAK: Ernest Goes to Africa (1997) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are working hard on their studies at Nic Cage University, so that why they're taking a break this summer... and watching ERNEST movies! Next up: ERNEST GOES TO AFRICA (What's it about? Aside from the casual racism, Ernest gets wrapped up in a Jewel of the Nile-esque adventure. Nothing too weird!) Hopefully they enjoy the NCU SUMMER BREAK!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Big Top Pee-Wee (1988) Review
EWhat can be said about BIG TOP PEE-WEE? It's the one where Pee-Wee Herman gets laid. Listen to the Film School Janitors review instead of ever, ever, ever watching this movie.

Hopefully they enjoy the NCU SUMMER BREAK!

NCU SUMMER BREAK: Ernest Rides Again (1993) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are working hard on their studies at Nic Cage University, so that why they're taking a break this summer... and watching ERNEST movies! Next up: ERNEST RIDES AGAIN (What's it about? Well, it starts with a MR. BILL short skit to pad the film's run time, then for 40 minutes of the movie, Ernest rides around on a giant cannon!) Hopefully they enjoy the NCU SUMMER BREAK!

Disney+'s Secret Invasion (Season 1) Review
EThis podcast might go down as one of the Film School Janitors best! The same might not be said for SECRET INVASION and the MCU. Save yourself the three hours of watching and let the Janitors explain why...

LITTER BITS: Reality Show Idea
ESean had a dream about a reality game show, and like most dreams it's half-realized. The other Film School Janitors help him sort it out. P.S. The show idea's new name is "APARTNERS"...

Shin Ultraman Review
EWhat are the Film School Janitors doing watching something not released by Disney and their ilk? The Janitors decide to dive in and tackle SHIN ULTRAMAN, a re-imagining of the Japanese hero that has had plenty of movies and TV shows based on him over the years. How is that anything different than what Disney offers?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Review
EThe Film School Janitors are back! Just like Harrison Ford! They all watched INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY, and has destiny been fulfilled? Did the director of LOGAN (James Mangold) deliver a swan song for our adventurer like he did with our Wolverine? (Hey, it's all Disney baby!) Dial in and check out what the Janitors thought!

Barbie Review
EThe Film School Janitors watched BARBIE opening weekend and had a piping-hot review ready for you - but the recording system botched it!

You'll never know!

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: The Barbarians (1987) Review
EThe Film School Janitors dared to review BARB...ARIANS. THE BARBARIANS as a matter of fact. That's the big movie of 2023, right? Drats! Well, instead enjoy this review of the 80's sword-and-sandal sort-of-classic rip-off of CONAN THE BARBARIAN.

Netflix's Black Mirror (Season 6) Review
EThe Film School Janitors have never reviewed any BLACK MIRROR episodes before this sixth season. The reason? Soon to be an episode in season seven, I'd wager. Do they talk about all five episodes? For this review to be as long as it is, I'd wager.

EThe Film School Janitors are reviewing all five INDIANA JONES movies with fresh eyes and beer guts!

Listen to where it all starts (and started) now!

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: Miami Connection (1988) Review
EThis is a film that must be seen to be believed. MIAMI CONNECTION was originally released in Florida in 1988, and it didn't make any connection with the general public (sorry, not sorry). In 2012, the film was rediscovered and became an instant cult classic. To say too much here will spoil the fun - so listen to the Film School Janitors spoil everything!

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Review
EThe Film School Janitors tackle one of the most mind-bending, complex, insanely constructed sagas of our time! Nah, just kidding!

I think I'm getting a headache thinking about it...

The Flash Review
E"Wow that was fast!" might be something heard by the Film School Janitors a lot, but not in regards to a movie review! The Janitors (well two) got to see a sneak preview release of THE FLASH and this is their spoiler-y review! (We actually do try to warn you before each one...)

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review
EOnly two of the three Film School Janitors watched this one so far, but they quickly wanted to get the word out. Their review of SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE is right here for the taking! Just stick one of your eight grubby, yet sticky, legs out and whether your eight eyes have seen it yet or not, set your eight ears straight to listening (spiders have eight of everything, right?)... Enjoy!
