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!

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!

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!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Big Top Pee-Wee (1988) Review

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!

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...

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.

ELEMENTARY FSJ: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Seasons 2 & 3) Review

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are closing in on the final adventure of revisiting and reviewing the INDIANA JONES films. Next stop: INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL Lambasted at the time of its original release, has time healed any or all wounds? Or is this film still a slog to get through? Listen to what the Janitors thought now!

Shazam! Fury of the Gods Review
EHey, come here and take a listen! Were you aware that SHAZAM! had a sequel? And it was in theaters? And it's been available to stream for a bit now? Well the Film School Janitors all finally watched SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS and this is their review!

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.

NCU SUMMER BREAK: Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) Review

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are reviewing all five INDIANA JONES movies with fresh eyes and beer guts! Of course, they're starting with the undeniable classic (INDIANA JONES AND THE) RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Somebody (probably Lucas) added that part in the parentheses - the Janitors did not. 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!

NCU SUMMER BREAK: Ernest Goes to Camp (1987) 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! First up: ERNEST GOES TO CAMP Hopefully they enjoy the NCU SUMMER BREAK!

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! They review TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS, the seventh film in the series, or maybe just the second film after BUMBLEBEE. Who knows? It's all more than meets the... I think I'm getting a headache thinking about it...

NCU 64: Seeking Justice (2012) 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!

To find out how, listen now!

CLEAN UP REQUEST! Down Periscope (1996) Review
EDid you know the Film School Janitors take requests for reviews? This time around they are tackling the 90's military comedy DOWN PERISCOPE! Good gracious, it's almost 30 years old! How does it hold up? Listen to find out!

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!

NCU 63: Trespass (2011) 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: TRESPASS Is Nic Cage a criminal in this one? Does he want revenge? Who is doing the trespassing? Is it Nicole Kidman in a closed AMC Theater? The Janitors don't specifically answer all these questions, but they do answer others in this review. Don't believe me? Take a listen to find out!

EA rare LITTER BITS from the NCU... The Film School Janitors discuss Nic Cage's favorite films that he's done, plus all the jobs his characters have had up to now.

The Little Mermaid (2023) Kid-Friendly-ish Review
EWith one of the Film School Janitors missing (Jay, of course), they call in the big guns: Rodney's daughter! Listen as she helps Rodney and Sean review the live-action remake of THE LITTLE MERMAID! Can even just the two of them keep it clean and kid-friendly? The answer is: mostly!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Road House (1989) Review
EThe Film School Janitors have a blast going back to the past when they review the Patrick Swayze classic: ROAD HOUSE! How does it hold up after all these years? Does memory serve correctly (and only with a proper ID)? Bonus! The Janitors rank the 1980's box office hits and try to figure which year had the best top grossing films!

Fast X Review
EMake "vroom" for the Film School Janitors' review of FAST X! It's got plot breakdowns, gravity breakdowns, physics breakdowns, celebrity net worth breakdowns, but alas - no car breakdowns! Listen now!

NCU 62: Outcast (2014) 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: OUTCAST What do you get when you mix Anakin Skywalker, the Crusades (barely), the Song Dynasty in China, strange accent choices and Nic Cage? This movie!

NETFLIX AND CHILLED: Attack of the Hollywood Clichés (2021) Review
EWho would have thought talking about Netflix's ATTACK OF THE HOLLYWOOD CLICHES would get into some nitty and some gritty, but the Film School Janitors ask some hard questions and they go there.

NCU 61: Dying of the Light (2014) 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: DYING OF THE LIGHT As the Janitors mentioned in their LOVE, ANTOSHA review, co-star Anton Yelchin was a huge fan of Nic Cage, and this was the only film they were able to star in together. So what's it about? Another cop movie (well this time, a CIA agent) in which Nic Cage wants to get revenge. But this time, he has a form of onsetting dementia. Fun!

Scream VI Review
EWhat better place to start reviewing a film series than with the sixth entry! The Film School Janitors have talked about covering the SCREAM films for years, so they (sort of) cover them all in this SCREAM VI review. The mold gets broken in this one by taking the action out of Woodsboro,,and does it pay off? Listen to see what the Janitors think!

NETFLIX AND CHILLED: Mindhorn (2016) Review
EWell, hopefully you can find this one somewhere to watch, or you already watched it. Netflix exclusively had MINDHORN probably for seven years, and the Film School Janitors only recently discovered it before they pulled it. This review will have to do until it comes back or pops up somewhere else, but here's the basic premise. An actor once popular in the 80's played a cop with a bionic eye that could "see the truth." When a young man wanted for murder says he will only talk to the character of MINDHORN, the washed-up actor takes the opportunity to milk this chance to mount a comeback! As usual, the Janitors try to cover as much of the story as possible, but you know how that usually goes...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Review
EThe Film School Janitors cover everything when it comes to GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3... or do they? They better when it comes to this long of a review!

NCU 60: Renfield (2023) 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: RENFIELD Is this the role Nic Cage has been un-dying to play? Nicholas Hoult a.k.a. About A Beast plays Renfield, Dracula's familiar. Can he get out from under his master's control? Can the Film School Janitors escape his mind games? Listen to find out!

80 for Brady Review
EThe Film School Janitors' discussion of 80 FOR BRADY goes all over the place. Some of it tracks; some doesn't. The main thing is they do actually review the film. It's just in-between nonsense.

NCU 59: Love, Antosha (2019) 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 (or narrate)! This week's assignment: LOVE, ANTOSHA In 2016, a tragic freak accident occurred that claimed actor Anton Yelchin's life. You may not know him by name, but you've likely seen him in something (most likely in the STAR TREK reboots as Chekov). Nic Cage reads some of his writings in this documentary about his life, artistry and battle cystic fibrosis.

Apple TV+'s Ghosted Review
EApple TV+ also makes movies, and although the Film School Janitors don't watch many of them, GHOSTED caught their attention. Co-stars Ana De Armas and Chris Evans meet cute and then after some (light) stalking, find themselves fighting your their lives. But did it hold the Janitors attention? Listen to find out.

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: Meatballs Part II (1984) Review
EThe 1980's were known for cash grab sequels to popular films, and there are some real stinkers out there. But how does MEATBALLS PART II compare? The Film School Janitors spill all the canned beans so take a listen now!

The Fabelmans Review
EWell, Oscar night has come and gone, and Steven Spielberg's latest, THE FABELMANS, walked away without any awards. But what did the true purveyors of film taste think?! Listen to the Film School Janitors' review now!
