The Magnificently Huge Podcast

Destroy the movie and listen to the soundtrack instead, because some films are just pure crap and deserve to be erased. Occasionally we find an unwatchable film that lives on in our collective culture by sole virtue of a great soundtrack. It is the healing power of music alone that prevents us from gouging out our eyeballs again rather than watch one more crap movie that is touted as a classic by the unwashed masses. Classic soundtrack, yes. But burn that bad movie, kill it with fire, and enjoy the awesome music instead. 0:00 Intro 6:35 Blade Runner 2049 19:43 ComiXology 23:42 Cher 25:45 Yello - Stella 27:40 Star Wars (yet again) 29:56 Rocky 31:09 Space Jam 33:24 Cat People 33:35 American Gigolo 34:53 Koyaanisqatsi 36:08 Eric's 90210 spec script 37:32 Purple Rain 41:44 Xanadu 48:43 The Bodyguard 49:53 The Lost Boys 52:10 Valley Girl 55:22 The Crow 59:36 Saturday Night Fever 1:02:37 Singles 1:04:30 Reality Bites 1:05:28 Pump Up The Volume 1:07:42 A Life Less Ordinary 1:10:01 Cool World 1:12:43 Love and a .45 1:13:34 Empire Records 1:14:35 Caddyshack Music and Samples Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl Duran Duran - A View To A Kill Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / Beside - Change the Beat Hans Zimmer - Blade Runner 2049 Soundtrack Stinky Wizzleteats - Happy Happy Joy Joy Cher - Gypsies Tramps and Thieves Cher - Fire and Rain Cher - He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother Cheap Trick - Dream Police / Simpsons Yello - Oh Yeah Yello - Koladi-Ola Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh John Williams - The Duel of the Fates John Williams - A New Hope and End Credits Bill Conti - Theme from Rocky Quad City DJs - Space Jam Seal - Fly Like an Eagle R.

In 1984, there were only 5 albums that hit #1 all year. This is the least amount of top records in a single year EVER. Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Huey Lewis & the News and the Footloose soundtrack… that’s it. Which means 1984 was either the most homogenous year in music history, or that MTV finally exerted its place at the top of the corporate music heap. Forget Madonna. Forget Tina Turner. Forget Wham or the Police. These are the only five records that existed in 1984. Period. | 0:00 - Intros | 6:50 - The Keep (1983) | 14:30 - Elden Ring | 17:20 - Peacemaker (2022) | 21:05 - Death on the Nile (2022) | 27:20 - Flood (2007) | 31:15 - The French Dispatch (2021) | 37:50 - The only five #1 albums of 1984 | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Eurythmics - Sexcrime (extended mix) | Panic!

This week we discuss the largely underrated horror movie 1408, one of the last really good John Cusack films. 1408 is one of those mood-driven scary movies that doesn’t rely on jump scares (though there are a couple), gore, or teenagers being picked off. It’s also the only movie I’m aware of that uses the concept of “noclipping out of reality.” If you’re familiar with The Backrooms, you know what I’m talking about. (Go look it up on Reddit. It’s pretty creepy.) If you haven’t seen 1408 before, though, this will be a SPOILER FILLED review. So maybe go watch it first. You won’t regret it. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:30 - The Band’s Visit (Touring) | 9:20 - Encanto (Disney, 2021) | 13:30 - Eternals (2021) | 22:40 - The Book of Boba Fett (2022) | 31:15 - Dark Side of the 90’s | 33:50 - 1408 (2007) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Carpenters - We’ve Only Just Begun | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | The Band’s Visit Original Broadway Cast - The Concert | Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero and Stephanie Beatriz - We Don’t Talk About Bruno - Encanto | Ramin Djawadi - Eternals Theme | Ludwig Göransson - The Book of Boba Fett | Ludwig Göransson - The Book of Boba Fett s1e7 end credits music | Trailer for Dark Side of the 90s | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clips from 1408 (2007)

It was Chris’s turn to pick the show topic this round, so he deliberately chose something he knew would irritate both Eric and Brian to no end. And that is the movie Rubber in a nutshell. Ostensibly a B-movie horror satire about a sentient, homicidal tire on a desert rampage, Rubber quickly becomes too smart for its own good with a full-tilt meta-commentary on the nature of how audiences and art interact. Or something. Whatever, heads explode and Wings Hauser shows up, so that should be enough. Or should it? Yup, Rubber is aggressively anti-entertainment, which almost makes it the most entertaining movie ever made. Almost. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:30 - Trash Theory - New British Canon - The Smirking Revenge of Sisters of Mercy and This Corrosion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb3alPShWQU | 8:45 - Dead to Me (Netflix) | 12:10 - Big Bug (2022) | 21:25 - Reacher (Amazon) | 26:45 - Rubber (2010) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Mr. Oizo & Gaspard Ouge - Tricycle Express - Rubber | The Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Judy Garland - Get Happy | Gioachino Rossini - The Barber Of Seville - Overture | Howlin’ Wolf - Smokestack Lightning | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clips from Rubber (2010)

Journey back to a time when there was no such thing as too much CGI in our summer blockbusters! In 1982, stoner animator Steven Lisberger blew all our minds with Tron: a work of staggering visual design with a script that made not one lick of sense. It was followed up decades later when the Master Control Program that runs Disney calculated there was more profit to be made with a sequel that no one really asked for. We take off the nostalgia goggles and beam ourselves directly into the Matrix…err…Grid, to see how these films hold up. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:39 - The Book of Boba Fett (Disney Plus, 2022) | 13:00 - The House (Netflix, 2022) | 15:55 - Apple Fitness + | 18:05 - Ozark | 19:38 - Pam and Tommy (Hulu, 2022) | 23:30 - The Upside (2017) | 26:40 - Moonfall (2022) | 34:30 - Tron (1982) vs Tron Legacy (2010) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Ludwig Göransson - The Book of Boba Fett | Gustavo Santaolalla - Getting Ready - The House | Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way? | Rob Simonsen - Moving Forward - The Upside | Thomas Wandler, Harald Kloser & Lucas Knoebl - Ludicrous Mode - Moonfall | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Music from the Tron Arcade Game | Clips from Tron (1982) | London Symphony Orchestra & Wendy Carlos - Tronaction | Wendy Carlos - Tron Scherzo | TR2N Comic-Con Trailer | Daft Punk - The Son of Flynn - Tron Legacy | Daft Punk - Fall - Tron Legacy | Daft Punk - Derezzed - Tron Legacy | Daft Punk - TRON Legacy (End Titles)

It’s time we talk about the 1980 classic “The Blues Brothers” - for good or for ill, the forerunner of every Saturday Night Live based film to come after it. Full of great music, weird guest appearances, and the most cars destroyed on screen (until it’s lamentably shitty sequel, of which we will say nothing,) “The Blues Brothers” is probably the most underrated masterpiece there is. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:15 - The Legend Of Vox Machina (Amazon, 2022) | 7:00 - Pennyworth (Epix, 2019) | 15:20 - Don’t Look Up (Netflix, 2021) | 19:55 - Folding Ideas - Line Goes Up: The Problem With NFTs (https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g) | 25:30 - Superjail!

Back in August 1985, three science-themed comedies aimed at teenagers were all released within one week of each other - Weird Science, Real Genius and My Science Project. And as we all learned in chemistry class, you should never try to mix acids and bases or something bad can happen. In this particular questionable experiment in cloning, we got one problematic John Hughes sub-classic, one genuinely ageless Val Kilmer cult classic, and one forgettable Dennis Hopper dud. All within a week of each other.

The first Harry Potter movie is now 20 years old! Which makes all you kiddoes who grew up with the series in the naughty aughties pretty much middle-age now. So fire up your patronus charm to scare away those Dementors, because here’s our old-guy take on The Boy Who Lived (and his coterie of witches and wizards). It is arguably the biggest and most fantastical film franchise that made kids want to read books again, ever. And while we aren’t crazy fanboy Potter-heads, we still managed to enjoy it and have opinions both simple and complicated.

Merry Christmas, $h!tter was full! In 1989 the Griswolds returned for another attempt to put the Vacation lightning back into a smaller bottle, and the results were… shall we say, uneven? The holidays are the backdrop for a family gathering of epic comic mayhem, or so the National Lampoon gang would lead us to believe. Instead, we got a slew of PG-13 dad jokes, Chevy Chase pratfalls, and the return of Cousin Eddie so we can laugh at all them poor, dumb rednecks who gots no class. Over the last 30+ years this movie has clawed its way into the must-see Christmas Movie Classics Pantheon, and we just don’t get it. Yup, here is our (probably unpopular) hot take on one of the true slogs of the season, Christmas Vacation. If you love it, great! If you don’t, welcome aboard fellow Grinches!

We're not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe...but we are going to enjoy this week's talk about the king of mega-gigantic-blockbuster action comedies that helped define the 80's, Beverly Hills Cop.

Aliens - everybody talks about them, but nobody does anything about them. Once an Alien: Resurrection or Alien: Covenant comes rolling around, people are shocked they suck. Why? Because the only Alien movie anyone needs is 1986’s James Cameron classic, “Aliens.” This is what every Alien movie since has tried to be better than, and has failed at miserably. So let’s pick apart some Aliens.

Clint Eastwood and his ape best friend, Clyde, travel the American West in search of love and fistfights. At least that’s what we think this so-called 1978 blockbuster comedy was about. It’s a shambolic, terminally unfunny mess of a film about toxic masculinity and bad country music, as far as we could decipher. It is also Eastwood’s weirdest film ever, one we thought would be an enjoyable lark. You’d think pairing the Man With No Name with an orangutan for some hijinks would be a no-brainer. You’d be dead wrong. That this was one of the highest-grossing movies the year it was released ultimately left us wondering: WTF was up with 1978? | 0:00 - Intros | 4:00 - The Exploring Series https://youtube.com/c/TheExploringSeries / The SCP Foundation (YouTube): https://youtu.be/cZXd5d4VVEY | 9:25 - ABBA Voyaga and ABBA: The Concert | 15:55 - Eternals (2021) | 27:55 - The Sparks Brothers (2021) | 31:30 - Every Which Way But Loose (1978) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Eddie Rabbit - Every Which Way But Loose | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Clip from The SCP Foundation | ABBA - Don’t Shut Me Down | ABBA: The Concert - Knowing Me Knowing You (Live) | ABBA - Keep an Eye on Dan | Ramin Djawadi - Eternals Theme | Clip From Parks and Recreation | Sparks - Dick Around | Sparks - Eaten By The Monster of Love | Sparks - Tarzan and Jane | Sparks - Mustache | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from Every Which Way But Loose (Sexy Sex Scene Soundtrack) | Jerry Reed - Eastbound and Down

What do you get when you combine actors who are past their prime with special effects that are past their prime, in support of a literally ancient story?

“A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.” For a few uber-nerds, that line means the start of the most respected - and ripped off - science fiction franchise of all time, Frank Herbert's. Dune. This month, a new film adaptation was released - the third time the original 1965 novel was adapted, we might add. To commemorate this, and to cash in on the click bait, we’ll be talking the movies, books, and legacy of all things Dune.... And like all things Dune, lots of things are left out and the ending is sort of rushed and abrupt. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:45 - Halloween Kills (2021) | 13:00 - Shaft (1971), Shaft’s Big Score!

Whatever you do, don't fall asleep...until you listen to our latest podcast all about Wes Craven's horror classic-cum-Freudian-facepunch - A Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy Krueger burst onto the scene in 1984 with his razor-tipped glove and evil grin to hunt us in our dreams and became an instant horror icon in the process. Sure, the films maybe got a little goofy as their budgets increased, but damn if those deaths weren't always some of the most horrifically creative demises ever filmed, which is why we dig it. One, two, Freddy's coming for you… | 0:00 - Intros | 5:30 - The Flight Attendant (HBO Max, 2020) | 11:00 - Doom Patrol (HBO Max, Season 2) | 15:10 - No Time To Die (2021) | 21:10 - Promising Young Woman (2020) | 23:45 - Squid Game (Netflix, 2021) | 32:12 - Hockey! | 34:30 - A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and sequels | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Dokken - Dream Warriors | Clips from A Nightmare on Elm Street | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Blake Neely - The Flight Attendant - Main Titles | Stacey Q - Two of Hearts | Clint Mansell, Kevin Kiner & Sean Kiner - Main Titles (Doom Patrol) | Billie Eilish - No Time To Die | FLETCHER - Last Laugh (from Promising Young Woman) | Jung Jae II - Way Back then (from Squid Game) | Stompin’ Tom Connors - The Hockey Song | The Regrettes - Monday | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Charles Bernstein - Main Title (A Nightmare on Elm Street) | John Carpenter - Halloween Main Theme | Friday the 13th - Ch Ch Ch Ah Ah Ah | Charles Bernstein - School Horror / Stay Awake

Welcome to One More Freshitravaganza - literally a whole show about EVERYTHING and NOTHING all at once! We're back from vacation, and that means it's time for another lazy free-for-all of extemporaneous hilarity in lieu of an official topic.

This week, we talk all about covers - those great songs made better or worse by someone else performing them. From punker bands that speed them up, to choral groups that slow them way down, covers are music's way of paying tribute to its favorite past musicians - or riding their coat tails.

Holy cow, we’ve made 200 episodes of this thing! This week the MagHuge crew goes back to the film that everyone blames for the modern superhero extravaganza: Blade! THRILL as we talk about yet another movie that somehow at least one of us is the last human on Earth to have watched!

Not all blockbuster movies are garbage. Some of them are just right. Everything the preview promised you you’d see is kept, the feeling you hoped you’d have by the end is earned… In short, some blockbusters are worthy of their hype. This week we reminisce about the best big budget (sometimes) Summer Blockbusters we’ve seen, and why they were a cut above. We’ll also share all the stuff we’ve been enjoying this week in our Fresh Shit segment, and just make general asses of ourselves... again.

Back in the 70’s, horny boys didn’t have the internet. The lucky ones had Playboy. The truly nerdy ones had Heavy Metal, an illustrated anthology magazine that featured the sort of sex, violence, and power fantasies that would eventually be provided by video games. But the poor lonely pre-teens of the 70’s didn’t really even have that to turn to. So yeah, Heavy Metal. And then in 1981 they made a movie of it! The Mag Huge crew breaks it all down for you. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:25 - Nine Perfect Strangers (Hulu, 2021) | 11:15 - Public Image Ltd. | 15:20 - Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail (TNT, 2021) | 18:40 - The Protégé (2021) | 23:00 - Annette (2021) | 28:45 - What If…?

At first glance, 1996 was kind of a bland year for movies, eh? At second glance, it’s still a bit, well... meh. The Top 10 moneymakers were all straight up studio products and a bit lifeless, while the Oscar contenders are mostly forgettable. If the 90’s had a crack in which to fall through, 1996 is certainly that year. Our challenge, then, was for each of us to bring our Top Five Movies of 1996 and see if we could find some elusive spice in an otherwise milquetoast cinema year. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:30 - The White Lotus | 10:15 - Star Trek: Lower Decks | 16:40 - Death’s Door | 17:20 - Twelve Minutes | 21:10 - Reminiscence (2021) | 25:30 - Lassiter (1983) | 31:00 - Movies of 1996 | 32:45 - The Top 10 movies of 1996 | 50:00 - Eric’s Top 5 movies of 1996 | 1:05:30 - Brian’s Top 5 movies of 1996 | 1:10:25 - Chris’s Top 5 movies of 1996 | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Cristobal Tapia de Veer - The White Lotus Theme | Westlake - Star Trek: Lower Decks Theme | Neil Bones - I - Twelve Minutes | Ramin Djawadi - Going On A Journey - Reminiscence | Ken Thorne - Beware Of The Winners (Lassiter’s Theme) | Taco - Lassiter’s Theme: Beware Of The Winners | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from Ransom (1996) | Slim Whitman TV Commercial | Slim Whitman - Indian Love Call Here’s a link to the “Honest Trailers” episode about “Loki” that was referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHcfWy4BWIk

If you didn’t like “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” it’s only because you didn’t see all of these other Indiana Jones adventurer knockoffs in the 1980's that were hilariously, misguidedly, and unrepentantly bad. This week, from the decade that brought you Twisted Sister, Reaganomics, television’s “Small Wonder,” and the crack cocaine epidemic, comes the Indiana Jones rip-offs of the 1980s! We also cover our usual assortment of shows and films we watched this week, in another exciting round of Fresh Shit, including What If...? and Free Guy. | 0:00 - Intros | 8:15 - What If...?

This week we delve into the 2nd most blatantly sampled song in the world. It just wouldn’t be the late 80’s / early 90’s without the rhythm found in James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” underneath everything from DJs with mad skills to pasty white dudes with absolutely no skills whatsoever.

Does anyone watch classic Hollywood movies anymore? Because this round we got a doozy for you… 1940’s The Philadelphia Story, starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart in the glorious screwball comedy from director George Cukor. This is by far the oldest movie we’ve ever featured on the show, and while Chris and Eric both enjoy it immensely and have seen it many times, this was Brian’s first time with it. So essentially you’ll get the established dogma about an inarguable film classic infused with a very unvarnished take from someone less taken by its charms. Snappy banter and farcical confusion ensue, and there may or may not be a love triangle that gets resolved by the end. Cue the booze soaked sophistication of the hoi polloi, kids, because this one’s a keeper! | 0:00 - Intros | 9:00 - Real Dictators (Podcast) | 14:00 - The Walking Dead | 18:50 - Snake Eyes: G.I.

This week we take a look at filmmakers who should probably have hung it up a long time ago. You know what we’re talking about too - remember the last time you were watching a film by someone you used to like, only to say, “What the hell is going on here? When did Tim Burton get so uninteresting and aggressively banal?” I mean, any time I see a bad film by someone who used to be worth watching, I sure think of Tim Burton. Or Clint Eastwood. Or Steven Spielberg. Or a number of (it always seems to be) men who just need to cut it out and start making commercials and music videos.

Boy did we pick the wrong week to stop sniffing glue! Brian challenged the MagHuge crew to jump feet-first into a movie none of us had ever seen, and it did not disappoint. Thanks to some other trippy 70’s movies from previous podcasts the HBO Max recommendation engine suggested we watch House, a 1977 horror movie from Japanese studio Toho - best known for the Godzilla movies. What we expected was schlock. What we got was practically an art film. Check out our reactions to that. Also, Loki and Black Widow get some time in the barrel. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:40 - Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) | 10:30 - 1984 (Orwell, 1948) | 12:30 - The St. Francis Dam Failure https://youtu.be/-ibvUxv1-lM | 15:15 - This is Pop: The Brill Building in 4 Songs | 20:00 - Greenland (2020) | 24:00 - Loki (SPOILERS) | 29:15 - Black Widow (2021) | 35:40 - House (1977) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Pop Will Eat Itself - Hit the Hi-Tech Groove | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Frank Ilfman - Goonfight at Gutterball Corral - Gunpowder Milkshake | The Archies - Sugar, Sugar | Neil Sedaka - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do | P!nk - Get The Party Started | David Buckley - Imperfect Lives - Greenland | Lunachicks - Spoilt / Joss Stone - Spoiled / Monty Python - Spam | Lorne Balfe - The First Bite Is the Deepest - Black Widow | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clips from House (1977) | Asei Kobayashi - House Main Theme

Join the Magnificently Huge Podcast for a look back at the semi-forgotten 80’s action-buddy-road-comedy, Midnight Run! Robert DeNiro stars in his first mainstream comedy, as a bounty hunter taking a mob accountant (Charles Grodin in a genius deadpan signature role) cross-country in a race against the Feds, the Mob and time itself! It’s an almost-classic that has not aged well, but it is still a solid piece of entertainment held together solely by the fun chemistry of the two leads. Directed by Martin Brest in his follow-up to Beverly Hills Cop, and featuring a who’s-who of character actors in supporting roles, Midnight Run tries its best to entertain and occasionally succeeds. Unfortunately, it opened the same week as Die Hard and got buried at the box office. More of an 80’s artifact now than anything, this fun popcorner is a solid second-string film from the era. And that’s fine, just like this movie. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:30 - In The Heights (2021) | 14:20 - The Cause of the Champlain Condo Towers collapse: https://youtu.be/PEPyE2h6P4k | 21:00 - Summer of Soul (2021) | 27:20 - Opening Night (2016) | 30:30 - Hard Ticket To Hawaii (1987) | 39:35 - Midnight Run (1988) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Danny Elfman - Main Titles - Midnight Run | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Anthony Ramos, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the cast of In The Heights - In The Heights | Anthony Ramos, Corey Hawkins, Melissa Barrera, Leslie Grace, Olga Merediz and the cast of In The Heights - Blackout - In The Heights | The Dead Milkmen - Life Is Shit | Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised | JC Chasez - One Hit Wonderland - Opening Night | Gary Stockdale - Hard Ticket To Hawaii | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Danny Elfman - J.W.

This round is actors who surprised us by going the career distance over the ones we expected to soar but who actually fizzled. It’s a real Tortoise Vs. Hare sitch that turned out to be way more difficult to wrap our heads around than we thought. For example, who knew the kid from Teen Wolf Too would go on to become the class-act we now know as multi-hyphenate actor/writer/producer/directorJason Bateman? We sure didn’t! We totally figured someone like Anthony Michael Hall was destined for that kind of awesome. Nope.

Strap in for some pure escapist fun, because we’re celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Rocketeer! Based on a popular indie comic, The Rocketeer is basically Indiana Jones Meets Iron Man done as an earnest, cynicism-free homage to the 1930’s movie adventure serials of yesteryear. Put out by Disney, this was supposed to be the start of a big franchise. Sadly, it landed with a mild thud amid some very stiff competition in the summer of 1991. Which is too bad, really, because The Rocketeer is flippin’ awesome fun, kids. A zippy-fast joyride that doesn’t wear out its welcome, this near-perfect summer popcorn flick is best known now as the audition reel that landed director Joe Johnston the gig for Captain America: The First Avenger. And it is one of our favorite movies from any era.

For years, we’ve all found something in a movie that was incorrect - something with it’s own canon, wrong historical references, or just stuff so weird you wonder how it wound up in there in the first place. But what if these things were intentional, put there to hint at a larger universe just out of view? Fan theories work to cover mistakes by creating more interesting possibilities. Today, we share some of our favorites. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:05 - Loki (Disney+, 2021) | 12:30 - Joe Walsh | 16:50 - Habitat For Humanity | 18:00 - Hacks (HBO, 2021) | 22:00 - Bo Burnham Inside (Netflix, 2021) | 26:20 - Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street | 28:40 - The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021) | 31:30 - Goofy Fan Film Theories | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | The Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Natalie Holt - Loki Theme | Joe Walsh - A Life Of Illusion | Joe Walsh - Desperado (Live) | Joe Walsh - Life’s Been Good | Etta James - Fire | Bo Burnham - Shit | Bo Burnham - Welcome To The Internet | Alti Orvarsson - The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | “Weird Al” Yankovic - Everything You Know Is Wrong

We’ve had enough. Enough of the grim. Enough of the dark. Enough of the grimdark! There’s only so many movies about depression, stress, and violence we can tolerate. Reality is depressing enough. So this week we’re looking for some pick-me-ups. We’re talking about movies that lift the spirits. Fun, dammit! FUN! Also Cruella I guess. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:30 - Alexander (2004) | 9:00 - Cruella (2021) | 20:45 - The A Team | 29:30 - Upload (2020) | 33:30 - Happy and Fun movies! | 35:00 - Singin’ in the Rain (1952) | 44:30 - 50 First Dates (2004) | 50:30 - The Muppet Movie (1979) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Bon Jovi - Bad Medicine | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Vangelis - Across the Mountains - Alexander Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Florence + the Machine - Call me Cruella | Deep Purple - Hush | Lunachicks - Spoilt / Joss Stone - Spoiled / Monty Python - Spam | John Swihart - The A Team Title Theme | Joseph Stephens - Upload Main Title Theme | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from Singin’ in the Rain | Jason Mraz - I Melt With You | Kermit & Fozzie - Movin’ Right Along - The Muppet Movie | Gonzo - I’m Going To Go Back There Someday - The Muppet Movie | Kermit - Rainbow Connection - The Muppet Movie | Kermit & Rowlf - I Hope That Somethin Better Comes Along | Samantha Fox - I Wanna Have Some Fun

Zack Snyder, you got your zombie movie on my heist flick! Or did you get your heist flick on this crazy new film mashup, Army of the Dead? We’re putting a team together for a smash-and-grab spoilerific review of the 2.5-hour long zombie-heist-action-comedy romp no one asked for, from a director who is notorious for being all style, little substance. So strap in for some Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Magnificently Huge style!

If you had a time machine, and someone else already went back in time to kill Hitler, when would you go?

Episode 181 - Fourth Films in a Franchise Hey, The Magnificently Huge Podcast officially turns four years old with this one! Since the fourth time's the charm (or however the saying goes), we’ll be yukking it up about the fourth entries in some of the most (in)famous movie franchises of all time. Fourth films are seldom needed, often pointless, usually lazy, and rare is the entry that transcends the IP. It’s the good, the bad and the downright ugly for series chapters that either either helped extend the life of a franchise, or killed the brand irrevocably with terminal sequelitis. As always, there are a few hidden gems amid the pile of shameless money grabs, so buckle up! And may the Fourths be with you! | 0:00 - Intros | 5:10 - Paramount Plus is overrun with Alex Kurtzman | 13:30 - The Darjeeling Limited (2007) | 17:00 - Monster Hunter (2021) | 21:30 - Returnal (PS5, 2021) | 24:15 - Mack Bolan books | 29:00 - The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) | 30:15 - Fourth Films in a Franchise | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Altered Images - Happy Birthday | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Morton Stevens - Hawaii Five 0 Theme | Satyajit Ray - Teen Kanya | Paul Haslinger - Monster Hunter Main Theme | The Haxan Cloak - The Forest - Returnal | Cristobal Tapia de Veer - Gifted - The Girl with All the Gifts | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | John Williams - Prelude Main Title March - Superman The Movie | Clip from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace | Michael Kamen & Eric Clapton & David Sanborn - Don’t Turn - Lethal Weapon 4 | John Cafferty - Heart’s On Fire - Rocky IV | Tuesday Knight - Running From This Nightmare - Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master | Edge of Ettiquete - I Hate You - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home | Michael Giacchino - Light The Fuse - Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol | Junkie XL - Chapter Doof - Mad Max Fury Road | Smashing Pumpkins - The End Is The Beginning Is The End

Hey, look! It's another music nostalgia show about death and the 90's… only fun! We revisit the soundtrack to a decade full of great songs and the artists who eventually left this earth way too soon, thereby ruining any chance of a reunion tour. Thanks, heroin! Cheers, depression! Kudos, irony! SPOILER: There were other bands besides Nirvana back then, kids. So fire up our mixtape salute to surviving the post-grunge world with a giant Gen-X shrug!

The 21st Century has given us plenty of great films so far. Some are inarguable classics, even. But we're here today instead to talk about the more obscure gems that maybe fell through the cracks a little bit over the years.

The fans have spoken and the SnyderCut of DCEU's Justice League has finally been released! Was it worth the wait? Does it correct the terrible sins of Joss Whedon's midwifed 2017 stillbirth?

Even some of the best movies have… well, issues. We want to talk about some of our favorite movies that have some glaring problems. From a war movie that secretly thinks war is cool, to a teen comedy about a sociopath, to a comedy classic whose cast includes the world’s most famous murderer running back. | 0:00 - Intros | 2:20 - On NOT watching Tom & Jerry (2021) | 4:00 - Get Shorty (1995) | 8:50 - Paramount+ | 12:20 - I’m Alan Partridge (1997) | 17:50 - This Is Spinal Tap (1984) | 19:30 - Doomsday: 10 Ways the World Will End (History Channel, 2020) | 24:30 - Our Favorite Problematic Movies | 25:45 - Saving Private Ryan (1998) | 38:15 - Honorable Mention: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) | 39:41 - The Naked Gun (1988) | 47:40 - Animal House (1978) | 48:45 - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Ice-T - 99 Problems | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Christopher Lennertz - Tom & Jerry | Marcelito - Chilli Hot | Clip from I’m Alan Partridge | Spinal Tap - (Listen To The) Flower People | Spinal Tap - Hell Hole | Clip from Doomsday: 10 Ways the World Will End | Trailer for Doomsday (2008) | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | John Williams - Hymn to the Fallen - Saving Private Ryan | John Williams & London Symphony Orchestra - Han Solo and the Princess - Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Ira Newborn - The Naked Gun Theme | The English Beat - March of the Swivel Heads | Yello - Oh Yeah

Sometimes it’s just being a big sell-out. Sometimes it’s being an artistic chameleon. This week the MagHuge crew discusses musicians who straight up switched genres and changed their sound completely, or simply jumped on a trend to grab some filthy lucre…for better or worse. | 0:00 - Intros & Frozen Texas Blackout | 9:00 - The Thin Red Line (Jones, 1962) | 10:00 - The Little Things (2021) | 12:50 - Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (Netflix, 2021) | 18:30 - MacGruber (2010) | 20:30 - Fantastic Planet (1973) | 28:00 - I Care A Lot (2021) | 31:55 - Music About Face | 33:45 - Ministry | 41:00 - Punk rock | 43:00 - Blondie | 45:00 - David Bowie | 46:00 - The Beatles | 46:35 - The Who | 47:30 - Todd Rundgren | 50:40 - Van Halen | 54:10 - Jewel | 55:25 - Shania Twain | 57:00 - Country Music Itself | 59:05 - Gwen Stefani | 1:00:10 - Miles Davis | 1:03:30 - Pink Floyd | 1:08:05 - Garth Brooks / Chris Gaines | 1:09:10 - Snoop Dog / Lion | 1:10:05 - The Damned | 1:12:20 - Taylor Swift

Johnny Mnemonic is pretty dumb, but also pretty amazing. Made in 1995, this cyberpunk action romp imagines the future world of 2021 (ie, NOW) in which the internet requires an excessive amount of VR hardware and physical exertion to actually use. And that 180GB of memory is pushing the limits of file sizes. And that dolphins weaponized by the military are the ultimate hackers. And fax machines and VHS tapes are still somehow a thing. In short, it got just about everything wrong about right now - apart from a deadly global virus, corporate oppression and riots in the streets. Did we also mention it stars Keanu Reeves as the titular hero acting at his wooden best? All from a script by cyberpunk godfather William Gibson, cobbled together from his own groundbreaking novels, plus the tropes of literally every other sci-fi movie made before 1995. Ultimately, Johnny Mnemonic comes across as a low-budget dress-rehearsal for the much better 1999 cyberpunk classic with Reeves called The Matrix. Which still gives this ridiculous movie way too much credit. | 0:00 - Intros (in COVID time) | 4:15 - Disney World (in COVID time) | 20:15 - NHL Hockey (in COVID time) | 22:20 - Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) (in...COVID time?) | 27:00 - PG: Psycho Goreman (2021) (sure, why not? ...in COVID time!) | 31:55 - Listener Email!

Predator is a bona fide classic sci-fi actioner starring Arnold Schwarzenegger that rocks. Sadly, all of its sequels suck. Like, a LOT. They are all terrible for different reasons, of course, but terrible nonetheless. Which is weird, because other notable series have managed at least one or two good sequels (even some not involving James Cameron). But not the Predator franchise, which should have just stopped at the first one. Is this even worth exploring with a superficial analysis only Magnificently Huge can provide? Obviously. So get to da chopper and let us dazzle you with our savage takedown of a stinky film franchise that has zero reason to exist - (The) Predator(s)(vs. Aliens: Requiem)(2), or whatever. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:55 - WandaVision (2021) | 14:10 - Harley Quinn (2020) | 16:40 - Superman: Red Son (2020) | 18:30 - Bob’s Burgers | 20:10 - Tenet (2020) | 28:15 - Predator, Predator 2 (1987, 1990) | 38:20 - AVP: Alien vs Predator (2004) | 43:50 - Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) | 48:20 - Predators (2010) | 56:20 - The Predator (2018) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Predator: The Musical (Arnold Schwarzenegger) - legolambs (youtube): https://youtu.be/qlicWUDf5MM | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Clips from WandaVision | Jefferson Friedman - Harley Quinn TV Show Main Theme | Frederik Wiedmann - Superman: Red Son Theme | Loren Bouchard - Bob’s Burgers Theme | Ludwig Göransson - RAINY NIGHT IN TALLINN | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Alan Silvestri - Predator 2 | Harald Kloser - Alien vs. Predator Main Theme | Brian Tyler & Hollywood Studio Symphony - Aliens Vs.

This week we take a look at Ben Stiller’s other classic movie, the one that isn’t “Zoolander.” This film-within-a-war-film is a hilariously scathing look at vapid Hollywood culture and it remains one of the last completely politically incorrect films of its kind.

Happy New Year 2021 and welcome to the 3rd Annual MagHuge Freshitravaganza Show! It’s our usual “we took the last 2 weeks of the year off and don’t have a real topic so let’s just talk about all the movies & TV we gorged over the holiday break” episode. Because let’s be real, 2020 sucked hard. And like you, we only did the bare minimum to entertain ourselves while stress-eating junk food from the couch LIKE A BOSS. Cineplexes may be closed (thanks, COVID!) but we still had a ton of streaming services slapping our eyeballs with content old and new!

Get ready for the lumpiest lump of coal in our collective 2020 stocking as the MagHuge team dives into classic Christmas horror movies! It’s been a pretty horrible year, what with the pandemic and all, so we are dumping our usual Holiday Cheer for some Krampus Fear!

If you are as tired of superheroes as we are right now then you are gonna love this hot take on The Boys, a dark satire that eviscerates the recent Disney/MCU commodification of the comic book movie genre with a steel-toed kick right to the codpiece. Loosely based on the ultra-violent cult comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys explores the basic idea of “What if superheroes were real? And what if they were all a**holes?” Throw in a rag-tag team of vigilantes intent on taking them all down and you get a bonkers, profanity-laden, ultraviolent funhouse ride. But underneath the veneer hides some very pointed critiques of our modern world that resonate beyond simply a bunch of weirdos in spandex blowing stuff up real good. It’s sharp, it’s funny, and we really dig it. So we thought we’d spoil it all for you! | 0:00 - Intros | 3:30 - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) | 10:45 - Freaky (2020) | 15:30 - The Prom (2020) | 23:45 - Escape From L.A.

Some movies think you’re dumb. They create situations that are so unbelievable, you can’t side with them any longer. Breaks in logic so severe, only a fan of the “Fast and Furious" movies could possibly stick with it. Like when James Bond falls into a 200 foot gorge, but of course he survives because… reasons. This week’s episode is a discussion of the movies that stretched the reality possible in film - until it broke. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:30 - Jiu Jitsu (2020) | 10:00 - Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X impressions | 11:30 - Immortals Fenyx Rising (Xbox Series X) | 14:00 - Demon’s Souls (PS5) | 20:30 - 808 (2015) | 28:30 - Glass (2019) | 29:40 - Flight That Disappeared (1961) | 30:53 - Nuking The Fridge / Killing Suspension of Disbelief / That’s Stupid | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Negativland - Theme from “A Big 10-9 Place” | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Trailer to Jiu Jitsu (2020) | Trailer to Crazy World (2019) | Gareth Coker - Heart of the Hero - Immortals Fenyx Rising | Shunsuke Kida - Demon’s Souls | 808 Drum Pattern - Beastie Boys - TR-808 https://youtu.be/N5zOj3Cdej4 | West Dylan Thordson - Physicks - Glass Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Richard LaSalle - Flight That Disappeared Theme | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from Steel Magnolias (1989)
