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

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. Plus, we explore proper ball fitting, prosthetic hand attachments, and whether or not Chris Farley would have been a better Ishmael. These topics and more in the latest episode of Shat the Movies. p.s. - Do you have thoughts on ANY of our past movie reviews? Can you change our mind on a previous Shat score?

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." Rog finds comfort in the cultural similarities of his Floridian childhood, Big D explains the meaning of "Stubby Holder," and Ashley longs for the days of adventure journalism delivered in a tangible newspaper. All three share their encounters with Aussies in the wild. Plus, we examine high-fashion of the '80s, how to be #Crocwise, and which Shat Host could survive a 56-day walkabout in the bush of what Big D calls "Tropical Canada." p.s. - yes, we know Roger screwed up the story of Rod (not Ron) Ansell. C'mon, though...it's Roger...what did you expect?

We're heading down to Arkansas for some french fried potaters and off-color street jokes as the Original Shat Trio review Billy Bob Thornton's magnus opus, Sling Blade. The 1996 Academy Award Winner is the 3rd commission from long-time listener, Greg R. Gene reminisces about small-town living, Big D questions the pacing early on, and Rog petitions Hollywood to send him the stylist responsible for BBT's post-Sling Blade "glow-up".

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. Additionally, learn why the studio delayed the film for 2 months, ensuring Tremors would be played on basic cable for the next 30 years. After the review, be sure to stick around for some of the strangest shat-outs we've ever received. These topics, and so much more, on this week's episode of Shat The Movies.

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.

In honor of our favorite rodent related holiday, Shat The Movies is re-releasing it's own version of "I Got You Babe" with our review of the 1993 Bill Murray cult classic: Groundhog Day.

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.

"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.

Do you remember your first DVD? "Shat The Movies" listener Ken C. does. And he forked out the dollars to share it with you. "Ronin" was a throwback movie even on the day it was released, feeling more like 1968 than 1998. It was prime Robert De Niro before he started his string of comedies, and it was legendary director John Frankenheimer's final picture, an ode to all his car-chase spectaculars that came before. Reverence for a bygone era aside, the Shat Crew couldn't help but notice some bumps in the picturesque French roads of "Ronin." Abundant MacGyver tricks, rampant Michael Bayisms, questionable Irish accents, Teflon bullets, and dad-fashion euro dudes. If ever Dick Ebert sparkled on the "Shat The Movies" review, "Ronin" was it. Big D shares Army stories, breaks down the epic ambush scene, mourns Princess Di, and cringes at French police cars too small to fit his 6'7" frame. Here's to a movie that threw CGI aside, illustrated the beauty of France, and said farewell to one of the greatest car-chase directors of all time. Enjoy.

Leave it to an Aussie living in Canada to commission the most anti-intellectual American truckerfest we've ever covered on "Shat The Movies." Listener Fabian threw in his hard-earned green stamps to request "Over The Top," Sylvester Stallone's 1987 attempt to recapture the magic of "Rocky." Rotten Tomatoes shat on Stallone's attempts to make a movie about arm wrestling that reveals a deeper tale of father-son bonding. But we see the beauty in this old rig, as Roger recounts stories of his truck-driving father, Gene drops some military school knowledge, and real-life daddy Big D frets about child safety. The Shat Crew also discover what ram-raiding is, explore arm wrestling tournament rules, gasp at the gratuitous product placement, and rock out to a killer soundtrack that includes Kenny Loggins, Sammy Hagar, and synth community darling Giorgio Moroder. Plus, hear Roger Roeper's theory that grandpa Jason Cutler (Robert Loggia) actually is a drug kingpin. And get Gene Lyons' review of the questionable fashions on display as he and Roger haul cross-country for love, victory, and a void where their dads used to be.

"Shat The Movies" voters have spoken, and the holiday movie they most wanted to hear in 2019 is "The Santa Clause." Take a magic sleigh ride back to 1994, when Tim Allen was the king of TV and you could still fat shame in the workplace. Listen as the Shat boys discover the true meaning of Christmas, Big D laments the demise to Black Friday, Gene recalls phreaking phone sex lines as a 12-year-old, and Roger yearns for the era of bungling police in feel-good comedies. Other topics include the magic of Denny's, St. Nick's occupational hazards, elven uprisings, how Tim Allen changed our hearts, how Bill Murray passed on the role, and how Bernard the Elf grew up to direct porn.

WARNING! Shat The Movies has hit peak adorable, just in time for the holidays, with its first kid-friendly episode: "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Listener Emmett in Orange decided to reach across the globe to play Santa after hearing young listener Brody calling in from Belfast, Ireland, with one precious question: Is "The Nightmare Before Christmas" a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? With that, Emmett gifted Brody a Shat The Movies review of the Tim Burton's stop-motion masterpiece and set in motion the most heart-warming winter miracle we've ever witnessed on the podcast. It made Roger clean up his language, made Gene watch a kids movie, and made Big D update his holiday film collection with something more recent than 1970. But this review isn't all holiday cheer. The Shat boys uncover hints of racial exclusion, questionable lyrics, underrepresented holidays, and an obvious lack of a quality screenplay. You'll also hear Dick's idea for a new Hasidionistic musical, "The 8 Days Before Mardi Gras" and find yourself asking if this movie wouldn't have been better as a Beetlejuice holiday special.

Christmas comes early for Gene Lyons as listener David Petsolt commissions "Bram Stoker's Dracula, the movie that changed the way we see vampires and ruined Keanu Reeves for the better part of a decade. Francis Ford Coppola's insistence on old-school practical effects, combined with Gary Oldman's intense portrayal of The Count, give this movie and undeniable creep factor, but obviously fake backdrops and silly facial hair are too much for Big D to ignore. As Roger and Gene reminisce over what the vampire orgy scene did to their pubescent bodies, Dick balks at cheesy filmmaking and weak female characters. The Shat boys discuss absinthe, 19th century fashion, werewolf sex, Tom Waits, and love. Oh, and Gene gets naked in a sleeping bag.

Shat The Movies listener Ash 'TJ' Partridge is better to us than we deserve. When we're stumped by a movie, she explains it in the context of literature and history. When we're perplexed by a TV show, she's there to save the day. Ash is a die-hard Shatter, and even made us the godparents of her child. So when she asked us to do "Magnolia" for her husband, Tom, we jumped at the chance. Even though our recording setup stopped working, and Gene caught a sinus infection, and Rog felt too dumb to understand the movie. Paul Thomas Anderson's epic tale of intersecting lives and compassion was the result of a studio being wise enough to say, "Boogie Nights was dope. Do whatever you want, and hire all the badasses in Hollywood." But does it focus too much on the woes of the privileged or rely too heavily on death as an emotional catalyst? Hear why Roger and Gene are afraid of parenthood, why the film's enigmatic rap makes little sense, why Persian moms hate long movies, why Big D thinks bad people make good movies, and how Osama Bin Laden's treachery may have led to Shat The Movies' creation.

Want the Shat Crew to really invest in a movie review? Give us something to relate to! Let Roger the vaper talk about life as a sorta' Cuban. Let Big D talk about the proper use of an M16A1 grenade launcher. Let Gene explain foreign slang and immigration. Listener Dale commissioned Al Pacino's "Scarface," opening the door to lengthy discussions of naming bongs, laughable riot scenes, questionable audio quality, whitewashed Latin-American roles, and why Roger doesn't do cocaine. The boys also lament Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's melodramatic shitshow of an acting job, talk way too much about the Synth Community, outline how "Scarface" mirrors "The Great Gatsby" and "Macbeth."

Listener Erika in Connecticut made Gene Lyons' dreams come true by commissioning the little movie that could: Weird Al's 1989 underground comedy "UHF." This scrappy film mixed corny plot lines with sociopathic humor to remind us all of those strange local stations we watched in our childhood. It was the final role for two very talented actors, and starred several top comedians in their prime: Victoria Jackson, Emo Philips, and Michael Richards. Find out why Gene Lyons defends UHF's blatant racial stereotypes and hear The King Bee's warning about women stealing car keys. Also discover King Bee's sandwich shop plans, who Tex Earnhardt is, and how you can make some money by identifying one-armed villains.

Only a Californian can truly appreciate Steve Martin's 1991 labor of love, "L.A. Story." So listener Emmet from Orange, CA, did the honors of commissioning it. And in the grand tradition of Shat The Movies making romantic comedies, things get really personal. Big D recalls his carefree days and asks, "Why do we let life suck our SanDeE dry?" Roger and Gene drool over a young Sarah Jessica Parker, and Gene point out the one sex scene in all of Hollywood he wishes did happen. The Shat boys also examine Shakespeare's impact on "L.A. Story," romantic chemistry between TV weathermen and their British grandmas, Patrick Stewart's genius cameo, Richard E. Grant stealing the show, and how the movie really could be Roger's biography.

Wife of the year Marisa commissioned "Iron Eagle" for her husband, Greg, but really it was a gift to all of Shat Nation. This 1986 Air Force cheese fest holds a special place in the hearts of '80s kids and inspired a disturbing number of today's pilots. Who knew Top Gun's ugly cousin—filled with bad effects, a generic Middle Eastern enemy, homoerotic undertones, teenage mass murder, horrific Air Force security, ecological disasters, and the worst chase scene since "Prince of Space"—would hold its place as Louis Gossett Jr.'s most recognizable work? In this episode of "Shat the Movies," we discuss Air Force wife swaps, legendary soundtracks, cassette tape players, the '80s cinematic tradition of lonely older men grooming teen prodigies, and the phenomenon of creating black characters just to make them dance.

It's the Third Annual Shat The Movies Halloween Spooktacular and the Third Annual Roger Telling About His Grandparents' Haunted House! In this episode, we cover Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining," a 1980 film staggering in its production value and terrifying in its shooting schedule. Roger Roeper really shines in this episode, as he opens a portal into the world of psychic friends, imaginary friends, and creepy voices. Big D argues that vaping is the same as farting. And Gene beats his head against the wall trying to understand this hedge maze of a movie. The Shat boys also examine Stephen King's criticism of the film, applaud the terrific sound editing, lament the rampant misogyny, ponder trusting Scatman Crothers, and reminisce about the comfort of old timey bartenders. So grab your bowl of candy, queue up the pod, and force every trick-or-treater to listen as Shat The Movies gets spoopy AF.

Big D just watched his first "Evil Dead" movie and is here to talk about it. That alone makes this episode of "Shat The Movies" worth the price of admission. Need more? Listener Chris Powers' "Army of Darkness" commission also triggered discussion about how useless we'd be as time travelers, what a world would look like if killing your sex partners cured the STDs they gave you and Bruce Campbell's undeniable charm. At just 82 minutes, "Army of Darkness" is the shortest movie we've reviewed, but it gave us plenty of material to cover, like Ash's mistreatment of women, when slapstick goes too far, whether campy horror movies should invest in quality special effects, and how much ammunition you should conserve when potentially trapped in the Middle Ages. Plus, Gene won't shut up about "Evil Dead: The Musical."

This isn't just a podcast about '80s movies; it's a podcast about FEELINGS. Or at least three guys' ideas on cheating, romantic comedies, and home inspections. Listener Joe in Alexandria, VA, commissioned 1986's "The Money Pit," in which Tom Hanks plays the same role he played in every '80s movie and Shelly Long is 100% swappable with Shelly Duvall. In this episode of Shat The Movies, we explore: horrible '80s hair Brazilian weddings America's obsession with big houses ice cream shop chic and the ubiquity of Euro weirdos in '80s movies. Roger Roeper shares his theories on romance. Gene Lyons discusses the psychological sensitivity of his erections. Dick Ebert laments movies with self-referencing theme songs.

Just when you thought we had covered all the '80s space classics: "E.T.," "The Empire Strikes Back," "The Last Starfighter," and "The Thing," listener John Clyburn takes the podcast where no Shat has gone before with "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Star Trek II widely is considered the best "Star Trek" movie ever made, and "Shat The Movies" certainly recognizes why: a chesty Ricardo Montalban, a young Kirstie Alley, and a surprise death that came years before "Game of Thrones" decided anyone was fair game. But look closer, and you'll see a few cut corners, a few plot holes, and one totally disgusting reason to sleep with cotton balls in your ears. Why do the sets look so cheap in a post-Star Wars era? Why are the deaths to melodramatic? And why doesn't anyone at Star Fleet come up with better security protocols than sending your admiral down to check things out? If you like nerdy commentary, this is the episode for you.

Shat The Movies listeners were asked to choose from six of Dick Eberts' favorites for this week's podcast, but their top choices already had been commissioned by other listeners. We get it: You love Dick. We've done "Demolition Man" and "The Karate Kid," so you're stuck with the film Rotten Tomatoes rated the Greatest Sci-fi movie of all time: "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." Find out how to pronounce Reese's Pieces and how "E.T" made the candy an overnight success. Learn the Shat Crew's bloody history with animal dissections, and debate whether an alien visiting Earth is more likely to be a miracle messiah or a Typhoid Mary. Gene Lyons praises "E.T." for being secretly spooky, while Roger Roeper and Big D examine the possibly racist undertones of the 1980s Halloween costumes. We'll also cover why E.T.'s has the voice of a chain-smoking woman, whether the alien's design was brilliant artistry or cheap chupacabra, and how Steven Spielberg beat his own box office record when he made "Jurassic Park."

Most "Shat The Movies" episodes are commissioned by listeners who want to hear us revisit films they love. But this one was commissioned by a podcaster who wanted to hear us cover one of Big D's favorite movies. Drew Zakmin, of "One Headlight Podcast," shelled out a few bucks and opened the gates to Michael Bay's greatest cinematic achievement, 1996's "The Rock." It's got everything we've come to expect from a Michael Bay film: explosions, rain, patriotic slow-mo, and even groups of guys in wheelchairs. "The Rock" is utterly mindless summer popcorn fun, but we're not complaining. Dick Ebert sees the beauty in side characters that gently tug on racial and sexual stereotypes. Gene Lyons takes care to praise the perfect amount of Nicholas Cage-ness while respecting the real star of this movie: the always-destined-to-die-while-wearing-a-headset Michael Biehn. And Roger Roeper explores the bizarre Goonies underbelly of Alcatraz. If you're a fan of using science to kill rogue Marines, don't like soft-ass shit, and want to see the Sexiest Man Alive in one of his most famous roles, this is the movie for you.

"The Boondock Saints" went from the hottest script in Hollywood to a pathetic five-theater release, to one of the biggest cult classics of the late '90s. But does Troy Duffy's underground hit film live up to all the hype, or was it just a weird byproduct of an edgy era? Listener Jim L. from London wired some money across the pond to commission this shoot-em-up episode of Shat The Movies, exposing Big D to his first taste of The Saints in action. Did you know Duffy originally wanted Mark Wahlberg, Kenneth Branagh, and even Robert De Niro in this movie? Gene did. Did you know there's some lovely side dick? Rog did. Did you know "The Boondock Saints" paved the way for "John Wick" to be made? It's not a fact, but Gene's pretty sure of it. Also explore whether "The Boondock Saints" is loosely based on Kevin Smith's "Dogma," what constitutes telegraphing homosexuality, and Duffy's surprisingly artistic use of slow motion.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'd like some parenting advice from three male podcasters stuck in the '90s?" If you answered yes, then this is the podcast for you. Listener Stephanie commissioned "Kindergarten Cop," the ninth Arnold Schwarzenegger title featured on "Shat The Movies" and a perfect portrait of Arnold's awkward shift from action to comedy. Be there for Arnold's first passionate on-screen kiss, learn the difference between parrots and ferrets, find our why Roger Roeper doesn't want kids, and explore possible ties between "Kindergarten Cop" and the Third Reich. If that isn't enough for you, the Shat boys also surface Gene's and Big D's fighting days, advise on how to escape killer ex-husbands, and obsess over Schwarzenegger's pube-like facial hair.

With Big D visiting Gene and Roger in Arizona, this week's "Shat The Movies" keyword is "friendship." And what better movie to exemplify friendship than Jim Carrey's smash '90s hit? No, not "Dumb and Dumber" (which actually won in listener voting), but "The Cable Guy," a movie Roger Roeper can quote start to finish and Gene Lyons never had seen. We called an audible this week, actually visited Medieval Times in Scottsdale, Ariz., and immediately recorded this candid review of a dark comedy largely unappreciated in its time. "The Cable Guy" really caught out attention and unearthed some hot topics, including the ethics of hiring sex workers, the dynamics of one-sided friendships, the genius of Ben Stiller and Judd Apatow, the magic of stolen cable, Big D's dream party, Jim Carrey's gigantic paycheck, multilayered gags, false accusations, and a possible darker side to Carrey's character, Chip Douglas. Oh, and we're still going to do "Dumb and Dumber." This podcast isn't a dictatorship.

"Shat The Movies" celebrates 127 successful episodes of lighthearted banter about silly movies by reviewing a 1999 Kevin Smith hit that was labeled "blasphemy" by the Catholic League and bore its own warning label for offensiveness: It's "Dogma,' y'all. Listener John U. from Minnesota commissioned this controversial comedy, and really he got two movies for the price of one. In one movie, John got an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, George Carlin, and Alan Rickman. In the other movie, he got pathetic attempts at acting by Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, and Smith. Roger Roeper tries to convince Gene and Big D that Smith is to comedy what Tarantino is to action dramas. Big D tells tales from anti-masturbation men's groups. Gene rails against schoolgirl outfits for strippers. And Kevin Smith tries to cram every idea he's ever had into 120 minutes of film.

In Part 2 of our Wondertwins co-commission, younger brother Josh dedicates "The Karate Kid" to big brother Adam. And the Shat Crew gets crazy nostalgic over this 1984 martial arts father-son romance. Gene predictably brings his three decades of martial arts experience to the table, while Roger explores the darker side of Mr. Miyagi's hermit status, Daniel's mischief, and Daniel's mom's conspicuously optimistic behavior. "The Karate Kid" stands up as a timeless classic, but we noticed a few things we missed as kids: a lackluster score from a legendary composer, hints of racism and sexism, an abundance of soccer, missed food gags, and a real question of who ultimately was the aggressor in the standoff between the bully Johnny and the rebel Daniel. Also, did you know Ralph Macchio was 22 YEARS OLD when this was filmed? Changes the whole movie. Regardless of whether you loved it or hated it, "The Karate Kid" was long overdue. Strike first. Strike hard. No Mercy.

What do you buy your twin for his birthday? A "Shat The Movies" review! What does he buy you? The same. Because, y'know, twins. This week's commission, coming from listener Adam for his brother Josh, is Michael Bay's directorial debut and a '90s action-comedy that confused the hell out of Roger Roeper. "Bad Boys" is a little too bloody to be a pure comedy. And it's a little too farcical to be a serious cop drama. Instead, you have a movie that touched off a franchise and propelled Martin Lawrence and Will Smith to movie stardom. Big D rails at the shoddy police work and asks the Shat Crew whether they'd steal from a crime scene. Gene drools over Will Smith and hails Martin Lawrence as a comedic genius, and Rog rewrites the movie to make it darker, more violent, and more mysterious. Also in this "Shat The Movies" episode: Michael Bay's music video background Martin Lawrence's TV career and meltdown Roger's whiteness and/or inability to remember names Explosions. So many explosions.

Roger Roeper labeled "From Dusk Till Dawn" a tale of two movies, and he couldn't be more correct. Robert Rodriguez directing and Quentin Tarantino writing always equals something special, but is it a gritty shoot-em-up or a campy gorefest? And can a movie successfully be both? "From Dusk Till Dawn" was commissioned by listener Christian Di Leo and stars an impressive cast include George Clooney in his first starring Hollywood role, Cheech Marin in three different roles, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Danny Trejo, Salma Hayek, and Tarantino himself. Big D quizzes Gene Lyons on vampire killing techniques. Rog connects "From Dusk Till Dawn" with "The Walking Dead," and all three explore the sexual depravity and background behind Salma Hayek's iconic snake dance. Also, PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY!

This week, we bid happy retirement to a listener to got the shaft from his employer, then realized he already had enough money to retire. Rob P. has been a longtime listener of both Shat on TV and Shat The Movies, and his film commission is nothing short of stellar. Boldly going where no Shatter has gone before, Rob chose a movie released in the final week of the '90s. And though "Galaxy Quest" never broke the top 5 in the box office, it might be the greatest sci-fi parody of all time. Gene Lyons, Roger Roeper, and Dick Ebert break down the difference between Trekkies and Trekkers, celebrate Galaxy Quest's outstanding casting, and contemplate the proper approach to sex with aliens. Rog and Gene also swap tales from Comic-Con, with Gene recounting how he stole from Lou Ferrigno and Rog worshipping Alec Baldwin's blue-collar roots. And, of course, we had to imitate Thermians and talk about boobs. Because we're adults.

This week's Shat The Movies category is Roger's Favorite Movies, and the listeners overwhelmingly chose "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," a film that gave us the opportunity to discuss Gene's music career, Big D's dislike of Southern California slang, and how a lack of dance moves cost Roger the most wanted job at Universal Studios. Learn about "Bill & Ted's" shoestring budget and imperiled past while the Shat Crew discovers cock rock, scoffs at time travel paradoxes, and worships George Carlin. Things get dicey when Dick recalls history reports in elementary school and Roger reveals how his family stole prime farmland in Alabama. And of course the podcast covers Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, and all the historical figures kidnapped by Bill and Ted. Party on, dudes!

Two dystopian American films from the '80s are huge in Norway: "Blade Runner" and "Escape from New York." We shat all over the former, so Norwegian listener Per T. commissioned the latter. If you think the Shat The Movies crew doesn't know much about covert missions into futuristic prison islands, think again. Big D brings his military experience, landmine expertise, and New York roots. Gene Lyons explains how to defeat giant wrestlers swinging baseball bats. And Roger Roeper sees his father in every Kurt Russell character. Other topics on this podcast include: Why Manhattan makes for an awful detention facility Snake Plissken's "buttrock commando" armament What Roger thought that Snake's tattoo was Wives on set Comically oversized gadgets What The Crazies live underground Godawful foley work and U.S. soccer veteran Michael Bradley's short legs Subscribe & Follow Android: http://shatthemovies.com/android Apple/iTunes: http://shatthemovies.com/itunes Social Media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat Website: http://shatthemovies.com/ Help Support the Podcast Donate with Paypal: http://shatthemovies.com/paypal Donate With Venmo: https://venmo.com/shatpodcasts Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=shatmovies-20 Sponsor's Listener Survey: http://shatthemovies.com/survey Leave an iTunes Review: http://shatthemovies.com/review Vote for our Next Movies: http://shatthemovies.com/vote Feeds & Social Media: http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Leave a Voicemail: (914) 719-SHAT - (914) 719-7428 Email: [email protected] Listen to our TV Podcasts: https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite: https://www.facebook.com/guyznite

Shat The Movies listener Valorie commissioned "The Sandlot" thinking she would get a podcast about the 1993 coming-of-age baseball classic. Instead, she got a curveball with a little mustard on it as hosts Roger Roeper and Dick Ebert retell their glorious softball history that spans from Singaporean caning to Big D's dribblers to the plate. Meanwhile, Gene Lyons goes full Social Justice Warrior as he decries Squints' devious assault on Wendy Peffercorn and laments the incomprehensibly cruel treatment of The Beast. This episode of Shat The Movies also covers when to call your stepdad "dad," whether a man should have to endure his replacement touching his dog, Major League segregation, nicotine gum pranks, and who should have been cast instead of James Earl Jones.

The story behind this week's commissioned film review could be a movie of its own: The loving wife of a northern England postman secretly saves the money to hire three misfit Americans to surprise him with a podcast about one of his favorite flicks. But what she doesn't tell them is watching "Videodrome" will cause unexpected changes in their minds and bodies! Dick Ebert immediately begins have strange nightmares. Roger Roeper begins seeing political conspiracies. And Gene Lyons feels the sudden need for sadomasochistic context to achieve an erection. What else would you expect from a David Cronenberg cult classic starring a young James Woods and a surprisingly gripping performance from Blondie vocalist Deborah Harry.

Why would anyone pay us to review a 1993 action-comedy starring an aging Sylvester Stallone and over-the-top Wesley Snipes? Because it's incredibly easy to watch and superbly entertaining. "Demolition Man" is a '90s action movie with '80s action movie in its DNA. It might even be that last true '80s action movie, packed with one-liners and inexplicable explosions. Plus VR sex, Taco Bell, and shot after shot of Stallone slow-motion diving with guns blazing. Things get weird this week as the original Shat The Movies trio--Roger, Dick, and Gene-- dive deep into cryprison vs. regular prison, hostage raid tactics, foreplay, a world without murder, Sandra Bullock's Sandraness, and the world's worst movie soundtrack.

How have we gone more than 100 movies without reviewing "The Princess Bride?" It's a travesty of justice, one that Shat The Movies listener Adam R. decided to correct with his generous commission. Is it a comedy? Is it a romance? Is it an action film, or a fantasy tale? The answer is yes. "The Princess Bride" is all of these things in an infinitely quotable and absolutely unforgettable package. In this episode, we discuss whether '80s video games were better than today's, why Rob Reiner would hire an actor whose speech he couldn't understand, and how "The Princess Bride" somehow looked better than "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" on a fraction of the budget. Gene explains why the film's politeness sets it apart from other '80s greats. Dick tells the tale of how Billy Crystal and Carol Kane were robbed of even better-improvised scenes, and Roger argues that no other movie has as many stellar performances by as many brilliant actors.

The original Shat The Movies trio is back! Roger Roeper joins Dick Ebert and Gene Lyons to review the dystopian Detroit crime classic "Robocop." Like most Paul Verhoeven movies, "Robocop" has spoof commercials, gratuitous violence, and co-ed shower scenes. But this 1987 relief carries the distinct honor of being the Dutch director's most coherent blend of action and satire. And it's oh-so-quotable. If you've ever wondered what was on the X-rated version, why ED-209 was so violent, or whether Officer Lewis had the hots for Officer Murphy, this is the podcast for you. If you ever wanted to know the connection between Robocop and Abraham Lincoln, this is the podcast for you. And if you donated to build a 10-foot bronze statue of Robocop in Detroit, this most definitely is the podcast for you.
