Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

On paper, "Boogie Nights" looks destined to fail: A new, 27-year-old director Paul Thomas Anderson gambling on making a period drama about porn ... starring Marky Mark and Burt Reynolds ... based on a short film about a guy named "Dirk Diggler" that Anderson made when he was 18. But instead of a campy tits-and-ass disco disaster, "Boogie Nights" turned out to be a breakout film powered by picture-perfect camerawork, a mind-blowing soundtrack, a swirl of emotions, and a dynamite cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, William H. Macy, John C. Reilly, and Don Cheadle. Seriously, all those people were in one movie that featured a prosthetic dong, crappy kung fu, and bell bottoms. Ash, Dick, and Gene naturally swooned over this masterpiece of '90s cinema, which brought up conversations about vintage porn, the darkness of the '80s, drug PSAs, Thomas Jayne, and of course that time Ash commissioned Shat the Movies to cover "Magnolia."

Canadian listeners Denis and Jillian commissioned this year's Shat Christmas comedy, "Trading Places," explaining that it's been their holiday comfort movie for years. Upon viewing, we're not sure it's a Christmas movie, or a comedy, or particularly comforting. But Trading Places made some bold social statements, helped elevate Eddie Murphy to one of the hottest names in Hollywood and got Jamie Lee Curtis topless. Join the Shat Crew on this holiday romp as we discuss power suits, the difference between "True Lies" and "The Full Monty," frozen orange juice concentrate, stolen valor, and the horrible disguises of '80s cinema.

Most Shat films can only hope to be as funny now as the day they were released. "Office Space" might actually have gotten funnier over the years. That's probably because we're grown-ups now and can relate to commuting, quitting a job, getting laid off, and regurgitating corporate buzzwords. In this episode, commissioned by listener Don Sauce, you'll hear career advice from Gene Lyons, music advice from Ash, and why Big D will never leave his job. The Shat Crew also covers toxic positivity, Gene's workplace tantrums, Ash's fear of Y2K, past lovers, and the surprising role Jennifer Aniston played in getting "Office Space" made.

"The Transformers: The Movie" put us in a very strange position. Should we view the movie as children of the '80s, as adults in a 2020 pandemic, or through the eyes of Gen Z? And that led to more questions: Why do Autobots turn into cars at the worst times? Is something creepy going on with Rodimus Prime and Daniel? Is Spike the worst dad in the galaxy? Sometimes, a movie is just meant to be fun and sell toys. Sense of scale doesn't matter. Storylines are secondary, and the deaths of beloved characters just lead to really detailed dance scenes. "The Transformers: The Movie" had everything: a puckering space butthole, dozens of named characters that basically looked the same, a kick-ass butt-rock soundtrack, Orson Welles, Leonard Nemoy, Judd Nelson, Frank Welker, Robert Stack, Scatman Crothers, and the Micro Machines Man. As the theme song goes, this one was more than meets the eye.

Here at Shat The Movies, we pride ourselves on seeing beyond nostalgia, beyond our personal memories, and really asking ourselves, "Does this '80s movie actually hold up?" That solemn task has never been harder than when Big D and Gene were forced to stare their own childhoods in the eye, tip their sombreros, and honestly dig into "Three Amigos." With Ash asking, "What is this movie?" and Randy Newman in the writing credits, there were moments Dick and Gene had their doubts: Is Chevy Chase capable of being funny? Was Martin Short the right choice for Ned Nederlander? Is this comedy good or just memorable? "No!" Big D bravely shouted. "This is a classic movie of sight gags, of talented actors, and ... rich backstories?" Listen as the Shat Crew wonders who B.J. Novak is, ponders whether Galaxy Quest was funnier, guesses how Billy The Kid would fare in Santo Poco, and spills a little tea in the mix.

Team Shat is no stranger to Coen Brothers movies, but "Fargo" stands apart for its perfect casting, delicious darkness, and unmistakable backdrop. Listener Eric J. made Ash's year by choosing this almost-true-crime film that made Big D weigh the pros and cons of living in North Dakota and made Gene recall the tragic tale of a sexually frustrated stallion. Questions that came up this week include: Would you take the money? Does carrying a gun make you safer or more at risk? What should a pregnant woman eat? And what sets Big D's fighting style apart from a normal man's? Stick around until the end to hear Ash make Shat The Movies history and listener mail about "Clerks."

Mention John Cusack, and most people think of "Say Anything," "Better Off Dead," or "High Fidelity," but Gene would argue Cusack's best film is the oft-forgotten "Grosse Pointe Blank," a movie that brought out the best of every actor in it. Thankfully, listener David from North of England was inspired by the movie's music and painful depiction of a 10-year high school reunion, giving us an excuse to discuss Ash's fear of hotel rooms, Dick's fear of never leaving his home town, and Gene's fear of never being able to go home again. This episode also explores masterful improvisation by a killer cast, real bonds between old friends, subverted expectations, emotional rollercoasters, teen love, strong women, the makings of great shootouts, and the goddess who is Joan Cusack.

It's been a while since Shat The Movies covered a John Hughes movie, and this time we're going back to where it all started for the quintessential '80s director: "Sixteen Candles." This high school comedy cemented the roles Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall would play for the next decade, and it gave us some of the most iconic scenes in '80s cinema. In this podcast, the Shat Crew debates girls' underwear, where to draw the line between flirting and harassment, the right number of bathrooms for a house, the importance of birthdays, whether Ringwald is actually pretty, what to do with perverts in the family, and whether the lead man is an asshole. Ash and Big D discuss penis sizes, while Gene recalls the time he tried to get sexy with a typewriter. Plus, the gang shares its fan fiction on what comes after the candles are blown out.

"Clerks" put director Kevin Smith on the map and taught '90s kids we all could be directors with just a roll of black-and-white film, a few friends, and a credit card. The conversations were witty, fast-paced, and perhaps a little too cheeky. The actors were unseasoned and awkward. The situations were edgy for 1994. And buried in all of it was a different style of storytelling that would blossom into the View Askewniverse. This landmark independent film brought us Berserker, blowjob counts, rooftop hockey, Jay and Silent Bob, and a snapshot of a world somewhere between the unabashed fun of the '80s and the slick production of the new millennium. If you're a fan of Big D and Gene ganging up on Ash, this is the episode for you.

The 1978 "Halloween" was a hit with the Shat The Movies crew, so we were overjoyed when loyal listener Tom C. in Texas chose its sequel "Halloween 4" as this year's Spooktacular special. "The Return of Michael Myers" has everything we loved about the original, minus the spectacular boobs, plus some great '80s special effects. Michael is deadlier. The town is more violent, and Dr. Loomis is a lot more Dr. Loomisy. Perhaps the scariest part is a look back at parenting in the '80s. Why did our parents let us eat what we ate? Why did they leave us alone when we needed them most? Why did they let us wander around town in the dark on Halloween night, visiting strangers' homes and mingling with adults wearing disguises? Why didn't they make us wear pants? Really, it's a miracle any of us lived to see 2020. So let's celebrate life by cheering for deaths. That's the true spirit of the season.

Shat The Movies is proud to complete it's first film trilogy, and what better series than "Indiana Jones," whose original three movies began and ended in the Shatacular '80s. The Nazis are back, the leading lady is sly, and we are treated to the super, sexy, scandalous, slippery, scientific Scotsman Sean Connery in one of the best comedic pairings of the decade. "The Last Crusade" gave us back the Indy we love: a grave desecrating, German killing, clumsy nerd who just happens to always come out on top. But it's not without nonsense. The Shat Crew explores inconsistencies in the Holy Grail's legend, problems with the tank scene, and the criminal misuse of sidekicks. Commissioners Candice and Andy loved the movie so much, they named their daughter Indiana. We hope you'll dig it, too.

Back in 2017, we awarded "Raiders of The Lost Ark" a perfect wipe score. The magical combination of Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Lawrence Kasdan, and Karen Allen was irresistible and timeless. But change the writing, change the villains, and change the lead lady, and you wind up with a very different movie in the 1984 prequel—one with xenophobia, ridiculous physics, bloated scenes, and a very different Indy. Missteps aside, "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" remains a classic with its action sequences, creative set design, quotable lines, lovable characters, and that ultra-fun mine cart escape. Plus, the organ removal, child slavery, and gratuitous body count basically led to the invention of PG-13 Movies. Is "Temple of Doom" the weakest movie in the "Indiana Jones" franchise, or are Big D and Ash justified in their love for a misunderstood film? Listen and judge for yourself.

Every child of the '80s remembers "Maximum Overdrive," that cool horror movie where cars come alive and a green goblin semi-truck tries to kill Emilio Estevez. What we don't remember is how high Stephen King was when he decided to write and direct a film in which guns aim themselves, kids get run over by steamrollers, and aliens attempt to use cosmic broom against mankind. Still, there's a lot to enjoy about "Maximum Overdrive": the AC/DC soundtrack, a murderous soda machine, truck stop love, newlyweds, Big D's selfishness, and of course the beautifully weird color of '80s blood.

Listener Joe T commissioned this World War II POW tale from across the pond, then was kind enough to call in with the most professional voicemail we've ever received. "Victory" is a movie that proved actors want to be footballers, and footballers want to be actors, and the French Resistance always gets the short end of the stick.

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" did everything an '80s high school movie was supposed to do. It did it first, and it did it best. The cast of young actors grew up to be some of the biggest names in Hollywood, Cameron Crowe went on to write "Jerry McGuire" and "Almost Famous," and director Amy Heckerling changed America's view of teens again when she created "Clueless." Find out how "Fast Times" taught Big D about women's struggles; why Ash's mom calls it "the abortion movie," and why Gene thinks shopping malls will make a comeback. Also ... the bikini scene ... yeah, it still holds up.

"Regulators, mount up!" Few words inspire more '80s Western nostalgia, and few movies manage to mix hot young actors with dusty old history the way "Young Guns" did. This film about the Lincoln County War has it all: Emilio Estevez in a likable role, Keifer Sutherland looking like a dream, Charlie Sheen being sorta normal. The kill count is high, the complexity is low, and through it all runs a wild vein of '80s teen pluck. Big D loved the peyote scene but hated Lou Diamond Phillips' performance. Ash turned up her nose at the beginning but bought in by the end. And Gene busted out his gunslinging history books like any good Arizonan would. Get ready for gratuitous slow-motion, questionable escapes, an unnecessary wedding, and Old West sex. Reap the whirlwind!

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" might be the movie the Shat crew was born to cover: Gene's a career journalist. Ash launched an entire podcast on addiction and recovery. And Big D really, really, really likes hallucinogens. So it's no surprise we had a lot to say about Johnny Depp's unforgettable performance as Hunter S. Thompson chronicling an insane assignment at Las Vegas motorcycle race. The surprise came in how much meaning we found—more than two decades later—in a film largely dismissed as disorganized, unfocused, pointless, and immature. "Fear and Loathing" changed listener Kipp's life enough to warrant a Shat The Movies commission, and it gave all three Shat hosts a lot to think about—even if some of those things were a bloated Benicio del Toro, a balding Tobey Maguire, the deep symbolism of vomit-covered cars, or the many nights chemicals erased from our memories. Find out what happened to Dick Ebert's clothes, what Ash discovered about adrenochrome, and why Gene wants to remodel in this edition of Shat The Movies.

Do you love adventure films? Sexy guys and gals on camelback your thing? Do you pine for the golden age of Brendan Fraser's film career? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, listener Ryan G commissioned just the movie for you- 1999's "The Mummy." In this episode, Big D walks us through how to avoid death by quicksand. Gene swoons over Anck-Su-Namun's golden painted body. And Ashley pines for Ardeth, face tattoos and all. Also, the crew talks about the movie's missed opportunities to weaponize cats (catpacks, anyone?), the benefits of camels over horses, the sketchy motivations of the Pharaoh's priests, and whether Imhotep is the victim, not the bad guy. In the end, we ask, "Is 'The Mummy' a great movie?" Maybe not. But it sure is one heck of a fun ride on this week's Shat the Movies.

Sequels can be hit or miss but return commissioner Adam decided to take the chance on the 1989 sequel to a classic Chevy Chase film, "Fletch Lives." A critical failure but box office success, "Fletch Lives" revives the role of the costume-wearing reporter as he goes to Louisiana to claim a surprise inheritance. The movie harkens back to a time of journalism past where reporters made actual money, had company cars, and endless supplies of disguises. From the cover art to jaw-dropping musical numbers, the Shat hosts were surprised by many of the movie's turns including totally underappreciated actors, completely incorrect accents, and a seemingly angry leading man. Big D, Gene, and Ash try their best to answer the many questions "Fletch Lives" leaves with its viewer. Was any woman in this film attracted to Chevy Chase? Does God want his followers to worship him by going to amusement parks? And was Fletch fooling anyone with those get-ups? Discover the answers to these questions and more as the Shat crew goes down South on this episode of "Shat the Movies."

In 1999, the world stood on the brink of massive change: a new millennium, a new reality, the future of our dreams sitting right on our doorstep. Big D had just joined the Army. Roger readied himself for deployment to sleep away camp, and Mister C was just a boy. On the horizon, launching movies into a new era, was "The Phantom Menace." Star Wars' first film after 16 years frozen in carbonite was a prequel, and nobody thought to question at the time what a strange paradox we were about to experience. Episode I promised to show us how it all began by adding big-name actors, mind-blowing computer effects, and exciting new characters. And while that promise was fulfilled, "The Phantom Menace" also opened a sarlacc pit of missteps—inconsistent Jedi powers, an unsatisfying Anakin Skywalker, reckless parents, an abused C3PO, unnecessary characters, and the hyper-animated elephant in the room: Jar Jar Binks. How could a movie with such rich lineage stumble so horribly out of the gate? The cringe-worthy love story, impotent Jedi council, confounding battle scenes, and objectionable politics hit us out of nowhere, overshadowing a valiant performance by Liam Neeson and betraying other success stories in the Star Wars franchise. Any movie worthy of Fan-Tom Edits is worth of the Shat treatment, and our crew was up to the job. With lightsabers bright and prospects dim, let us begin the Star Wars saga where it started ... before it started ... again.

We all know the "Adventures in Babysitting" cover art, but do you really know what this 1987 comedy is all about? It's Elizabeth Shue at her feel-good-movie best. It's also the major motion picture version of an afterschool special about the dangers of the city. It might even be an attempt to lampoon the fears of '80s suburbanites. Putting Christopher Columbus' box office debut under the Shat microscope reveals a lot of things: like a horribly miscast Vincent D'Onofrio, a hidden hero, and the fact Big D no longer likes fun. This anniversary gift of a Shat The Movies episode takes us back to a simpler time when Playboy magazines were the center of young boys' world, girls pretended their hairbrushes were microphones, Thor didn't need big muscles, parents partied in skyscrapers with open windows, and blue clubs catered to teens who couldn't dance.

These dark times call for dark movies, and '80s comedies didn't get any darker than "Heathers." The Winona Ryder and Christian Slater box office flop found a way to laugh at teenage suicide, bulimia, date rape, homosexuality, religion, hypocrisy, cynicism, sex, and murder in a way that made Big D blush. Gene Lyons and Ash Duke join Shat The Movies to relive their high school years, forced emotional outpourings, and Shannen Doherty's face on this episode commissioned by longtime listener Dan Fletcher and spooky podcaster Carmelita Valdez McKoy. How did Stanley Kubrick impact "Heathers"? Was the pep rally scene inspiration for "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? Why did young Ashley own a monocle? And most importantly: Is Heathers a truly groundbreaking film or just a cult classic. Find out in this week's "Shat The Movies."

Can a movie based on commercial relationships be so bad, it's excellent? That was the question posed by Jim B & family when he commissioned the 1988 rip-off of ET, #MacAndMe. Big D uses a sick day, so Rog invites his cohosts of @TheFloridaMen, Benny & Mister C to review the film that Paul Rudd turned into a cult classic through his numerous appearances on the Conan O'Brien Show. Benny admires the interior decorating skills of the young alien while filmmaker Mister C theorizes MAC's alien race went extinct due to vacuum cleaners. All three hosts feel cheated that neither Ronald McDonald nor the San Francisco 49ers showed up to their birthday parties. So, sit back, grab a straw, and enjoy the healthy products of our corporate overlords. It's the latest episode of STM.

Could the best adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma" be the version that explores the lifestyles of over-privileged rich teenagers living in Beverly Hills during the mid-90s? That was the question raised by listener Sarah L when she commissioned the 1995 hit comedy, #Clueless. Ash joins Rog & Big D to break down the film that defined fashion trends throughout the decade. Ash fawns over Amy Heckerling's screenplay and the new direction of teen movies while Big D questions whether Cher's manipulation methods create an unhealthy double standard when it comes to gender roles. All three hosts get lost in the nostalgia of the soundtrack. So, let's hop in our Jeep, kiss our ex-stepbrother, and head to the valley for a ragin' house party...it's the latest episode of STM.

If we sealed 90's pop culture in a time capsule and opened it up 30 years later, the result would be a VHS tape of the 1992 film, #WaynesWorld. As a birthday present to himself, listener Steve W commissioned the that inspired numerous comedies throughout the decade. Classic features like "It's Pat" and "Stuart Saves His Family"…..NOT! Rog & Big D record from their Mom's basement studio while reacquainting themselves with early 90's vernacular such as "Schwing," "Party On," & "Ass Sphincter." Big D revels in breaking the 4th wall while Rog gives credit to the real hero of the movie: Director Penelope Spheeris. The OG Shat Duo share personal stories of how Wayne's World inspired them to find each other and create an underground entertainment show. So, let's hop in the MerthMobile & crank up the volume on Bohemian Rhapsody, it's time for the latest episode of STM. Party time, excellent!

Teenage coming-of-age films saturated the 80's box office, but only one combined an oversexed virgin, wrestling singlets, and Madonna: #VisionQuest. Long time Shat the Movies listener Nelson commissioned the 1985 film that some have described as "Rocky w/ Nosebleeds." AEW Wrestling Superstar, QT Marshall (aka Mike Cuellari), accompanies Rog & Big D to breakdown Louden's journey. QT explains the insecurity of being in the ring wearing underwear while Rog finds himself strangely attracted to State Champion, Brian Shute. Big D rewrites the ending to lead into a much darker sequel. All three hosts wish they had a father figure like Elmo in their life.

We all agree that these are pretty turbulent times. Appropriately, it was with great anticipation that we circled our calendar for the 1994 Oscar-winning juggernaut, #ForrestGump. Commissioned by listener Joshua R, the film that solidified Tom Hanks as an American Icon was a welcomed respite from the cynical nature of today's movies. Kevin Bracket of Reel Spoilers joins Rog & Big D on a nostalgia trip through what some have called "a baby-boomer version of Disney's America." Kevin swoons over the double-disc soundtrack while Big D questions whether the song selections were too "Randy Newman-like" for his taste. Rog discloses his desire to go forth on an adventure with just his thoughts. All three hosts proclaim Sally Field deserved an award for her performance.

When it comes to cult musicals, we typically think of Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, & This Is Spinal Tap. However, a little film about the T-Birds, Pink Ladies, and overt references to sexual intercourse has quietly become a new generational cult movie. No...not that Grease, we're talking about Grease 2! Listener Mike from Norfolk is part of that new Rydell High School crew that stopped hand-jiving and started bowling. He even went so far as to build a replica of the "Cool Rider's" Honda Scrambler. It was fate that he commission Shat The Movies to review his favorite obsession. Fellow Grease 2 enthusiast, Ash joins Roger & Big D to debate whether the sequel is better than the original. Ash swoons over the empowering female character of Stephanie, while Big D explains the rules of being a Pink Lady. Rog discounts Ash's favorite song as nothing more than a B-Side recording from Meatloaf. All three hosts cringe during the "Let's Do It For Our Country" performance. So, put on a leather jacket without a shirt underneath and get ready to jump the luau pool. It's the latest episode of STM.

When you want a hitman, you hire the best. When you want a review of your favorite 90's film, you hire Shat the Movies(?). That's the conclusion Mike from Quincy reached when he commissioned the 1994 English-language French action thriller, #TheProfessional. Shat on TV's Rookie of the Year, Ashley Schlafly joins Roger & Big D in Little Italy to follow a reserved Jean Reno, a sadistic Gary Oldman, and a younger-than-we-remembered Natalie Portman in a movie that was robbed by "Wild Reeds" at the 20th Cesar Awards. Ash explores the complexity of Matilda's relationship with Leon while Rog explores the purity symbolism of milk in classic cinema. Big D asks the question: "Is Leon slow, or is he just foreign?".

Listener Scott O was disappointed to see #RepoMan (1984) excluded from the Pantheon of Shat. As a result, he mailed in an envelope of money initially earmarked for his son's graduation to hear the Shat Crew review the coming-of-age film for suburban white punks. Rog and Big D steal a 1964 Chevy Malibu and cruise the streets of Los Angeles, searching for hidden messages of a movie that's best known for its surreal overdubs of profanity when broadcasting on basic cable. Rog praises the training program at Helping Hands Acceptance Corporation while Big D confesses his addiction to watching tow truck repossessions on YouTube. The Shat Duo both respect Miller's quest for the truth concerning extra-terrestrials.

With previous reviews of The Big Lebowski and Dumb & Dumber, STM listener Jake V felt the timing was right to commission the 1996 Farrelly Brothers' gutterball, Kingpin. Rog and Big D embark on a road trip through a memory montage that transports the duo to a simpler time when the local bowling lanes were as greasy as the snack bar pizza. Big D reminisces on his time spent in junior bowling leagues. Rog recollects the time Amish teenagers tried to lure him into an abandoned Pennsylvania cabin. The OG shat twosome fawn over the embodiment of coolness, Bill Murray.

What would be worse? Getting attacked by a 16-foot crocodile...or enduring a cross country road trip while listening to the entire back catalog of Shat The Movies? This question was raised by a Canadian couple, Andrew & Sarah C., as part of their commission review of the 1986 hit, Crocodile Dundee. Roger, Big D, & Ashley embark upon an adventure into the rugged outback of the Northern Territory to review the movie that Aussie listener, Bruce describes as "...pretty accurate, for the most part."

Can you fly, sucka? It's time to load up our 1980's era Japanese pick-up truck with vault poles and fishing dynamite as we head to the desert town of Perfection, Nevada for the scariest game of "hot lava" with giant landshar—um—graboids. As a birthday present to himself, listener Mac E commissioned the 1990 cult horror-comedy film, Tremors, that spawned SIX(!) direct-to-video sequels as well as a short-lived television show. Ash LeBeck joins desert natives Gene Lyons & the King Bee as they explore Kevin Bacon's sex appeal, the town economy, and earthworm anatomy.

Get ready because the Shat crew is going international for the first time. Listener Lisa sent in a very persuasive email that convinced us to take on the 1995 French science fantasy film, The City of Lost Children, our inaugural foreign language review. In this episode, Ashley defends the decision to let her children watch this movie, even if it makes them weird. Gene pines for an alternate life in New Orleans and using his French classes, and Big D talks about the recurring problems with his dreams. We also break down the music and style choices, the attention to detail from set-pieces to the casting of the child actors, and why this movie should never be remade by an American director.

Before James Cameron set sail for Hollywood history with Titanic, he almost sank Kathryn Bigelow's directing career with the giant iceberg of a box office failure, Strange Days. Listener, Mike S, commissioned the Shat crew to finally answer the question: "How could a movie that accurately predicted America's collapse into social inequality, police brutality, and obsession with living other people's lives through technology have failed at my local theater?" Ash 'Mace' Mason makes her Shat the Movies debut with Gene & Roger as the trio explores Y2K death cults, questionable casting choices, and how much screen time we should give to sexual assault. Put on your SQUID wig, pop in that Sony Mini-disc, and "jack-in" for the latest STM episode.

When we recorded this episode, the Coronavirus pandemic had just begun. Four weeks later, listener Jeremy's commission gives us the timely 1981 post-apocalyptic Mad Max: Road Warrior. In this episode, Gene points out the worst choice of vehicle in a gas shortage. Big D talks driving on the wrong side of the road, and Roger talks Mad Max tinfoil. Additionally, we discover the science of boomerangs and their connection to a lonely childhood and answer the question of who from the pod would be whom if cast in this movie (beyond the obvious choice of Big D as Lord Humongous). And, to wrap it all up, we get in a goodbye to every listener just in case the virus overtakes us all before we hit publish.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a movie critic or cinema-goer that doesn't love or at least respect Saving Private Ryan. From its iconic opening depiction of D-Day, this is unlike any war movie we've covered. Listener JE Urseth commissioned this 1998 WWII classic to honor all servicemen and women and as a special tribute to his grandfather who served in the Pacific. From the start, Big D and Gene talk about the inspiration they found from the film to serve their country, and Roger talks about his one call back from the marines. We cover the complexities of war, the film's violent depiction of battle, and a missed opportunity for a Garth Brooks' cameo. Roger asks Big D to explain how to blow up a bridge. Gene calls out Spielberg's sentimentality, and Big D explains the secrets soldiers tell one another in the dark. We also ask what morality looks like in wartime. What would have happened if Tom Sizemore had not destroyed his career? And did Private Ryan make the right choice at the movie's close?

Out of all the board games we played as kids, who would have thought Clue would be the one to produce a movie with a two-hour run time. But this ensemble comedy stands as an example of a film where a group of comedians find a way to share the spotlight equally. This 80's classic is so beloved that not one, but two listeners donated their hard-earned dollars to hear us take on the 1985 flick, John S. and Miguel F. While this love is echoed by Gene and Roger, Big D isn't sold that this is more than just an extended commercial for the game. In this episode, Roger uses his experience as a high school thespian to analyze the script. Gene talks being sexy to the point of absurdity, and Big D defends Yvette's honor. We also explore the dangers of living in big houses, making out with dead bodies, and which ending is the most fitting for this cult classic.

We all love Dick Ebert, but giving him what he wants isn't always the best idea. Big D is a man of strange appetites who suffered through a childhood that left him wishing he could travel time to make friends. And his obsession with "Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann" was bound to end in disaster. Listener Shawn Green generously commissioned this review of the 1982 sci-fi cult classic as a gift to the Shat Crew. Gene was pumped to see Lyle Swann's sweet Yamaha motorcycle in action. Roger was excited to compare yet another movie to "Star Wars," and Dick yearned to be reunited with Belinda Bauer, the subject of his first self-stimulation experience. What followed was a lesson in woman-on-man sexual assault, the creative genius of Mike from The Monkees, a bizarre skinny-dipping scene, some incredibly bad marksmanship, terrified Mexicans, and every kind of causal loop wrapped into 100 minutes of film powered by 30 minutes of actual material. It's weird. It's wild. And it's perfect for Shat The Movies.

A lot of love went into this "Shat The Movies" episode. And a lot of love was lost. Listener Danny Jr.'s wife lovingly commissioned "Spies Like Us" as a ninth anniversary gift. And Danny Jr. lovingly dedicated it to his late father, a double-VCR-owning pioneer. And we love the love they share. But love can be a fickle thing, especially when it comes to Chevy Chase. Roger adored him in "Christmas Vacation," and Big D cheered him in "Caddyshack." But "Spies Like Us" is the movie that broke the Pakistani camel's back. Where was the funny man we know and love? Why were women acting like Chevy was attractive? What happened to his hair? Even a young and hirsute Dan Aykroyd, a stoic and steely Steve Forrest, a shapely Vanessa Angel, and cameos galore couldn't deliver this movie that was written for comedians by comedians. In this episode, the Shat Crew discusses what they'd do with their last minutes on Earth, the Fart Shift Eye Transfer, U.S. foreign policy, military training, the Florida woman who bit a camel's testicles, and why Paul McCartney is the worst.

That screaming eagle of freedom you just heard is Big D's patriotism soaring through the wild blue yonder alongside the biggest, baddest, ass-kickingest presidential conveyance of all time: "Air Force One." Listener Jim Hamilton got drunk and commissioned this 1997 Harrison Ford cheesefest that pits love of nation against love of family. It's a movie that freedom flexes in the face of reality and tells American diplomacy to take a hike. There's magical parachutes, impossibly stupid air tankers, a criminal waste of an amazing cast, and an endless parade of tactical errors. Hear how 2020 presidential candidates would do if their planes were hijacked, learn Farsi with Gene Lyons, explore the reality of military flight with Big D, and get wrapped up in Roger Roeper's love of Han Solo. Is it "Die Hard" on a plane? Is it "The Fast and The Furious" of the skies? Were we supposed to side with Gary Oldman's Egor Korhsunov (seriously, he was kinda right)? Pop in your earpods, grab a cold Bud, and buckle up for "Air Force One."

"Dumb and Dumber" is the king of '90s comedies. Undisputed. End of discussion. But many moviegoers forget this 1994 screwball comedy is the film that put the Farrelly Brothers on the map and cemented Jim Carrey as the dominant comedic star of the decade. In this Best of Jim Carrey edition of Shat The Movies, we examine all the little touches and big ideas that put "Dumb and Dumber" head and shoulders above every idiot road trip movie that came before or after: jokes that get better with Google, a brilliant script that took two years to write, the Big Gulp scene, family bonding moments, the definitive '90s soundtrack, and a cast that included undiscovered comedians just waiting to shine. Learn about Brazilian motel sex from Big D's wife, explore moped magic with Gene Lyons, and celebrate Roger's first LOL since "Spaceballs." We also detail the unedited Sea Bass restroom scene, discover what a Felcher is, Shat on Fast Food, and finally answer "Who's Dumb and who's Dumber?"

Listener John Enright asked Shat The Movies a year ago to put the Best of John Cusack up for a vote. Then he waited month after month and heard nothing: no "Say Anything," no "Grosse Pointe Blank," no "Sixteen Candles." Fed up, Enright decided to grease the skis of justice with some hard-earned cash and three words everyone had been dying to hear: "Better Off Dead." Big D nearly fainted. Gene Lyons squealed. Roger asked, "Is that the one with the boombox?" "Better Off Dead" truly is a movie that would not get made today: a little-known short-film director named Savage Steve casting an obscure young actor in a lead role about teen suicide, featuring Korean drag racers who only speak Howard Cosell, possible exchange student sex slavery, and stop-motion dancing hamburgers? What could be more '80s? This warm blanket of nostalgia took us back to Dick Ebert's childhood memories of collecting G.I. Joe Flag Points and throwing piss bombs from his third-floor video gaming nest. And it unearthed Roger's woeful tale of the breakup that ruined him for life. Meanwhile, Gene tells listeners why jumping is a terrible way to kill yourself and Old Man Dick Ebert rails against paperboy Johnny and his quest for $2.

It only took 3 years and 108 days, but long-time listener Gillian J. finally commissioned the 1991 movie that asks the question: "Is a light-hearted comedy really the best vehicle to explore the effects of childhood trauma & schizophrenia?". "Drop Dead Fred" tells the story of Lizzie (Phoebe Cates), an out of work court reporter that dresses like an evangelical missionary, experiencing a mental breakdown after she catches her uncomfortably-older husband, Charles (Tim Matheson) cheating on her. Charles' infidelity causes Lizzie to spiral out of control, unleashing her childhood imaginary friend, "Drop Dead Fred" (not Yahoo Serious), after which further chaos ensues. The Shat Trio explores all the issues you care about. Gene pontificates the virtues of the film if it had been completely recast and took a more sinister approach. Next, Roger dives into whether or not "Drop Dead Fred" is a demon or a just a Tyler Durden for young women. Finally, Big D outlines his plan of action if Emma starts blaming imaginary immigrants for spreading cat poop over the sofa. These topics and more in the latest episode of Shat the Movies.

What would an '80s podcast be without the ultimate buddy cop movie? "Lethal Weapon" blew our minds in 1987 and blew the doors off box offices. Listener Bryan Fong commissioned this stereotype-shattering killing spree of a flick that spawned a franchise of three sequels and a TV series. Growing up with "Lethal Weapon," the Shat Crew never doubted the magic between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover would hold up over three decades. But we had forgotten about the awesome vintage boobs, Vietnam allusions, creep family bath time, and gratuitous sexy saxophone. Hear Gene Lyons' "Legend of Shovelface," learn Roger Roeper's tips for taking dick pics, and experience the sheer joy Big D gets from the greatest on-screen duo of all time.

"The Explorers" had everything an '80s kid could want in a movie: three buddies building a spaceship from a Tilt-A-Whirl, magical computers, teenage aliens, and cool special effects from Industrial Light and Magic. What this 1985 sci-fi adventure lacked was enough time to fully develop. "Gremlins" director Joe Dante was forced to rush an unfinished film to theaters, dooming an otherwise promising project that starred future superstars Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix. What we got was a movie that's both classic and catastrophe, mixing innocent dreams with eerily sexual spacemen. Shat The Movies listener James B. commissioned "The Explorers," giving the Shat Crew runway to talk about Big D's Radio Shack shoplifting, Gene's discovery of Catholic sex, King Bee's online harassment skills, and Roger's knowledge of Brazilian Space AIDS. We also recall our failed childhood inventions, including bungee jumping with sewing supplies.

Listener Brad Nicholas noticed "Shat The Movies" had never done a Chris Farley movie, and he decided to do something about it. To honor a comic genius who died too young, Brad chose "Tommy Boy" as his commissioned film. It's a movie critics have called "dumber than 'Dumb and Dumber'" and "written by three writers locked in separate rooms," but no child of the '90s can resist quoting every memorable line, dancing to "fat guy in a little coat," or doing the housekeeping voice. This movie showed us Bo Derek still had it going on and Brian Dennehy could be a lovable dad. And it revealed Big D is a grumpy old man who wanted David Spade to be the hero. "Tommy Boy" takes us back our golden years, when factory work in Ohio was fun, road trips could happen without planning, and movies could have perfect endings. It unlocked tons of tales from the Shat Crew, including: The time Big D assaulted an Olive Garden co-worker Gene's email battle with an MMA apparel company and Roger's shocking hatred of Melissa McCarthy.
