The Magnificently Huge Podcast

Ever watch a movie and think, “This is just plain weird”? Like us, you can probably come up with dozens of examples of films that were intentionally strange. The challenge this round was to come up with examples of movies that, instead of being deliberately odd, appeared to be made in earnest but turned out INCREDIBLY WEIRD. LIke, WTF-level weirdness. Like, why would they make this? That’s it, that’s the whole show. An arbitrary mess of personal opinions about films that left a dark mark on our fragile psyches because we expected a regular good time and got something wholly different instead. From dramas to sci-fi to big-budget studio musicals, this one has a little something for everyone. Because that’s how Magnificently Huge rolls! | 0:00 - Intros | 8:15 - The Mandalorian (Season 2, Disney+) | 12:20 - The Boys (Season 2, Amazon Prime) | 17:15 - Ready Or Not (2019) [SPOILERS] | 21:15 - Luigi’s Mansion 3 (Nintendo Switch) | 25:10 - Weird Movies | 27:00 - Psycho (1960) | 29:30 - The Stuntman (1980) | 30:35 - Made In Heaven (1987) | 32:40 - Phantasm II (1988) | 35:15 - Enter The Void (2009) | 38:45 - Fantastic Planet (1973) | 43:55 - The Witches (1990) | 45:30 - Cars (2006) | 47:30 - The Straight Story (1999) | 49:00 - Arnold Schwarzenegger Comedies | 53:16 - Paint Your Wagon (1969) | 59:25 - Jupiter Ascending (2015) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Walter Wanderley - Summer Samba (So Nice) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Ludwig Göransson - The Mandalorian (Theme) | Christopher Lennertz - Translucent Alive - The Boys (Music from the Amazon Original Series) | Lunachicks - Spoilt / Joss Stone - Spoiled / Monty Python - Spam | Brian Tyler - Badass Bride - Ready Or Not (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Chad York, Darren Radtke - Title Theme - Luigi’s Mansion 3 | YG - FDT ft.

When you sit down to a movie called Killer Klowns From Outer Space, you pretty much know what to expect. This cult B-movie from 1988 is both a glorious tribute and giant middle finger to the classic alien invader movies from the 50’s we all loved as kids. Only this time, it’s murderous Klowns™ who have landed on Earth to harvest humanity for food! Played with tongue firmly in cheek, this film by special effects wizards The Chiodo Brothers is not scary or tense at all (and barely even funny most of the time, if we’re truly honest). But it IS way more inventive than any movie titled Killer Klowns From Outer Space has any right to be. And for that alone we salute it. Plus, it has what we consider to be one of the greatest theme songs of all time by fave L.A. punk icons, The Dickies! So sit back and get a pie in the face with our big, stupid podcast celebration about yet another crap movie we may actually kinda like. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:33 - Judy (2019) | 8:55 - Innerspace (1987) | 13:25 - Song Exploder (Netflix, 2020) | 16:30 - Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) | 19:50 - Staged (2020) | 23:50 - Phantasm (1979) | 28:30 - Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | The Dickies - Killer Klowns | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Renee Zellweger & Sam Smith - Get Happy | Jerry Goldsmith - Gut Reaction - Innerspace soundtrack | Leslie Odom Jr., Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton - Wait for It | Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Angry Inch | Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Wig In a Box | Lambeth Wind Orchestra - Alex Baranowski - Music from Staged | Horror Movie Theme Orchestra - Phantasm | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clips from Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) | John Massari - Killer Klown March

Remember...The Nuge’ll taint ya! A long time ago, music was performed by people with instruments. That led to people who were really good at playing them. And that led to Supergroups: Collections of the best performers who are the finest in their own bands, teaming up to make what was hoped would be an even bigger musical success. Think Avengers with Les Pauls. This week, we go over some of the biggest names in the genre. | 0:00 - Intros | 6:00 - South Park Pandemic Special (2020) | 8:30 - National Treasure (2004) | 14:15 - Watchmen (2009) | 18:25 - Colin Quinn: Unconstitutional (2015) | 20:22 - The Good Place | 23:00 - Grand Theft Auto V (2013) | 26:30 - Smartless (podcast) | 28:35 - Archer | 30:45 - Risky Business | 35:00 - Supergroups | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | The Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Primus - South Park Theme | Trevor Rabin - National Treasure Suite | Tyler Bates - Rescue Mission - Watchmen | Clip from Colin Quinn Unconstitutional | David Schwartz - The Good Place Opening Music | Grand Theft Auto V Theme | Scott Sims Mel Young JG Thirlwell - Archer Theme Song | Tangerine Dream - Love On A Real Train | Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Old TIme Rock & Roll | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song | Emerson Lake & Palmer - Eruption | Electronic - Idiot Country | Electronic - Disappointed | Electronic - Getting Away With It | Staind - It’s Been A While | Damn Yankees - Coming of Age | Velvet Revolver - Sucker Train Blues | Velvet Revolver - Slither | Audioslave - Show Me How to Live | Prophets of Rage - Prophets of Rage | Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike | Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Helpless | The Traveling Wilburys - End of the Line | Highwaymen - The Last Cowboy Song | The Lords Of The New Church - Open Your Eyes | The Lords Of The New Church - Dance With Me | Lard - The Power of Lard | Pigface - Bitch | Pigface - F**k it up (Did You Ever Get the Feeling?) | Pigface - Suck | This Mortal Coil - Kangaroo | FFS - Collaborations Don’t Work | The Brides of Funkenstein - Disco To Go

Episode154 - Heathers Vs. Mean Girls Two cliques enter, one clique leaves... Welcome to the High School Movie Grudge Match Thunderdome! We pitch 80’s black-comedy classic Heathers against 00’s teen classic Mean Girls in a head-to-head battle for ultimate Snark Supremacy! How Very. That’s So Fetch. Oh, and ⅔ of our crew had never actually watched Mean Girls before, but all of us have been quoting Heathers for decades so it’s okay. Was our Genx-X bias shattered by the popular Millennial challenger?

Some movies are all sizzle and no steak, sad to tell you. We have a theory: Awesome Trailer = Awful Movie. And by our math, this formula is correct about 92% of the time. So here is our salute to the pitfalls of movie marketing! It’s the campaigns that got us excited to see a film opening weekend. And how most of these ended up being giant disappointments, along with the few rare times we hit the Awesome Trailer/Awesome Movie jackpot! Plus a few we totally knew would suck but we went anyway! We aren’t mad at the hype machine so much as mad at ourselves for always taking the slick, glossy, technicolor packaging at face value. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us 100 times, we’ll likely go see the next movie anyway because we are suckers who never learn. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:04 - Dolemite is my Name (2019) | 10:20 - Pure (HBO Max, 2020) | 12:10 - Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (2020) | 14:45 - Gangster Movies on DVD (Hard Boiled, Infernal Affairs, Sexy Beast, The Untouchables, The St. Valentine's Day Massacre) | 26:45 - Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) | 31:00 - Class Action Park (2020) | 36:09 - Movie Hype!

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins is a big-budget studio actioner that arrived to theaters everywhere with a giant thud in the Fall of 1985 and quickly fell into pseudo-obscurity. We’re not even really sure what about this film baffles us the most. Was it the utter abandonment of all the sex and violence that made the original series of pulp novels so much fun? Maybe the not-even-cool-for-its-time casting of a white dude as a Korean martial arts master? Perhaps the hour long training montage? Or the incomprehensibly thin plot and casual misogyny? Possibly the loud, repetitive hero theme any time the audience starts to nod off? Perchance the criminally underused Wilford Brimley? Yes, this would-be All-American blue collar answer to James Bond - even made by several key people who had worked on actual Bond entries - was supposed to kick off a whole new series of movies. Until it tanked at the box office. HARD. We go off about all that’s wrong with Remo Williams in this occasionally cogent look at one of the more forgotten artifacts of Reagan-era cinema!

Greetings, our excellent friends. When you don’t have any movie theaters, or George Carlin, or any new ideas at all really, can you still make a good movie? Can you take Keanu Reeves, who has spent the last 25 years trying to shed his surfer idiot image, and bring him back to that same persona with any credibility? Can you justify getting the band back together? Do they get better? Do they? Find out in our most heinous spoiler review of unnecessary Gen-X nostalgia-bait Bill & Ted Face The Music! PS: We REALLY wanted to like this movie. Honest.

Ben Folds Five is a trio of dudes who, back in the 90s, gave us great music that was not quite pop, not quite punk, but something gloriously in between. With front man Ben Folds banging the keys on his piano, along with Robert Sledge on fuzzed-out bass, and Darren Jessee on drums, they created a very distinctive lo-fi, guitar-free sound that is a weird blend of jazz, rock, pop and punk that the band itself once self-described as “Punk for Sissies.” And that’s as apt as anything else we can muster. We are still big fans of their first 4 classic 90’s albums, with songs that alternate between cheeky and funny to dark and introspective - and sometimes even both simultaneously. Yes, Ben Folds Five is truly part of the soundtrack of our lives and we salute them! This is also the fabulous sesquicentennial celebration episode of The Magnificently Huge Podcast!

Logan’s Run from 1976 is perhaps the most Super 70’s sci-fi epic ever made. Especially since Star Wars came along barely a year later and changed movies forever. But for a brief, shining moment in the early 1970’s we had a good run of films that presented gritty, dystopian futures... that still looked like they were set in the early 1970’s. With obvious scale-model cities, disco fashion, bean bag chairs, shag carpet, and enough macrame to choke a horse, Logan’s Run is fascinating because it is an expensive (for its time) studio extravaganza of a far-off future which still managed to look cheap and dated. Yet here we are, still talking about it over 4 decades later. That’s gotta count for something, right? Oh, and don’t trust anyone over 30. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:55 - Revolt (Netflix, 2017) | 12:27 - Legion | 16:38 - NHL Hockey in the time of COVID | 21:10 - The Go-Go’s (2020) | 27:50 - Drive In Movie (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980) | 35:20 - Death Becomes Her (1992) | 40:20 - Logan’s Run (1976) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Motörhead - Enter Sandman | Men At Work - Who Can It Be Now? | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Bear McCreary - Theme from Revolt | Jeff Russo - Run - Legion Season 1 (OST) | Roy Ayers - Aragon - Coffy (OST) | Stompin’ Tom Connors - The Hockey Song | The Go-Go’s - Club Zero | The Go-Go’s - Beatnik Beach (1978) | John Williams & London Symphony Orchestra - Finale - Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back | Alan Silvestri - Death Becomes Her | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clips from Logan’s Run (1976) | Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run | Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark | Jerry Goldsmith - The Dome / The City / Nursery - Logan’s Run | Clip from THX 1138 | Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell | Neil Young - Old Man | Foreigner - Cold As Ice | The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary | Alphaville - Forever Young | Gary Numan - Down In the Park | Living in a Box - Living in a Box | The Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get It Started

This round we dare to tackle the burning question: How many Highlanders can there actually be? The answer might surprise you. But one thing is certain, we were shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that MagHuge team member Brian had never before seen Highlander, a definitive cult classic of trash 80s cinema. How does that happen? So we had a Gathering to get a fresh perspective on one of the most iconic geek movies ever made. It’s got immortal warriors with weird accents (Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert & Clancy Brown) battling it out across the centuries to win some vague plot Macguffin called The Prize, all set to a rockin soundtrack by Queen.

This week, we’re taking a look at a small, mostly overlooked film about the housing bubble crash of 2009. Why? First, because while “The Big Short” was certainly a good film, this is more about the mechanics of what sank our economy and the kinds of people who made those decisions. Second, and more importantly, right now we’re on the brink of a major economic collapse and it pays to be mentally prepared for disaster. With an all-star cast of players at the tops of their game, and a script that moves like a breeze through difficult technical economics, we three will tell you all the reasons you need to watch this film on your next Amazon Prime binge.

If an 80's kid didn’t have HBO growing up, they knew someone who did and watched the hell out of it. But let’s go back further, to the 70's and the early days of cable television when it was still limited and kind of pricey. You certainly couldn’t get unedited, commercial-free movies on your television. Until HBO, that is. Back in the day, Home Box Office was KING and made cable a necessity. Before the era of the VCR they pioneered satellite broadcasting and 24/7 programming. Plus, we got Skinemax late-nite nudie flicks - which led to lesser rivals Showtime and The Movie Channel - and kickstarted a slew of groundbreaking television you couldn’t find on regular networks. Think Sopranos, Deadwood, Westworld, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Shameless, Battlestar Galactica,The Wire and beyond... all the must-see TV of the last 25 years peppered with a heavy dose of Hollywood beamed directly to your living room 24 hours a day. Yeah, the entertainment you stream so easily now on your phone? That all started with HBO. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:30 - Charlie’s Angels (2019) | 13:37 - Overlord (2018) | 18:45 - The Old Guard (2020) | 27:50 - 30 Rock - A One Time Special (NBC) | 31:05 - Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga (2020) | 33:35 - Palm Springs (2020) | 36:26 - HBO | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Bazuka - Dynomite | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus & Lana Del Rey - Don’t Call Me Angel (Charlie’s Angels) | Jed Kurzel - Arrival - Overlord Music from the Motion Picture | Volker Bertelmann & Dustin O’Halloran - The Old Guard | Jeff Richmond - 30 Rock Theme | Will Ferrell & My Marianne - Jaja Ding Dong | Cast of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga - Song-A-Long | Cornbread Compton - Race to the Cave | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | HBO Feature Presentation Music | Negativland - The Playboy Channel | Joe Pizzulo - White Lines - 1st and Ten | Tina Turner - The Best

Episode 144 - Back to the Future Roads? Where we’re podcasting we don’t need roads! That’s right, this time we go Back to the Future with Marty and Doc in a very accidental 35th Anniversary Celebration of the biggest movie from 1985! Yep, it’s the classic time travel incest comedy with the world’s most tricked-out Delorean that spawned two sequels, a cartoon show, a theme park ride, and now this podcast!

Why are vampire movies all the same? Either they’re romance movies where a bored woman gets swept off her feet by a posh zombie, or they’re supervillains who drink blood, can’t go outside, and may or may not have reflections, hate garlic, or squeal when holy water touches them. We honestly don’t answer this question this week - we just complain about what’s wrong with them. We also talk about the most egregiously bad vampire movies, the ones that actually work, and what we thought of the musical “Hamilton” - which isn’t a vampire movie, at least not yet. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:55 - Hamilton (2020) | 11:59 - Missile Command: Recharged (Atari, 2020) | 14:06 - Cunk on Britain | 26:23 - Vampire Movies | 31:04 - Shadow of the Vampire (2000) | 34:20 - Dracula (John Badham, 1979) | 41:16 - The Hunger (1983) | 48:32 - Near Dark (1987) | 50:42 - Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) | 55:50 - The Lost Boys (1987) | 1:01:17 - Let The Right One In (2008) | 1:06:17 - The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | The Birthday Party - Release the Bats | Monty Python - The Spanish Inquisition | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Lin Manuel Miranda & Cast - My Shot - Hamilton: Original Broadway Cast Recording | Missile Command: Recharged Official Trailer | Clip from Cunk on Britain - Episode 4 | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Susan Sarandon - Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me | James Salvatore - The Woods - Shadow of the Vampire Soundtrack | John Williams - Opening And Storm Sequence - Dracula | Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead | Tangerine Dream - Caleb’s Blues - Near Dark Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Jozef Van Wissem & SQÜRL - Only Lovers Left Alive | Gerard McMann - Cry Little Sister (Theme from The Lost Boys) | Johan Söderqvist - Let the Right One In | Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)

By the Power of Grayskull! We open up the Listener Mailbag to grab a suggestion (Thanks!) and tackle one of the most iconic bits of 80’s pop culture ever - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! The genius of it all is that Mattel (home of Barbie and Hot Wheels) figured out how to syndicate a 30-minute infomercial for toys by disguising it as a daily cartoon adventure that was part Conan the Barbarian, part Flash Gordon. And kids ate it up to the tune of over $1-billion. By 1987 the bottom dropped out, just in time for a Masters of the Universe movie from the schlockmeisters at Cannon Films! Sadly, the ill-conceived project was a huge flop (sorry, Dolph Lundgren), mostly because it ignored what made the source material so popular in the first place. Yet He-Man’s legacy remains. Join us as we talk toons, toys, and possible new feature films.

The Cold War came to an end in 1989. A year later, Hollywood gave it a grand send-off with an adaptation of Tom Clancy’s breakout techno-thriller, The Hunt for Red October. Set in 1984 at the height of US-Soviet tensions, the movie slaps a fresh coat of paint on the classic Cold War tropes to do for submarines what Top Gun did for jets. The chase is on to find a rogue USSR nuclear sub trying to defect to the USA before the Motherland can blow it out of the water. Director John McTiernan was fresh off his insane run of stone cold 80’s classics Predator and Die Hard, and here turns in his third consecutive winner. Starring Sean Connery, Sam Neill, Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, and Scott Glenn - plus Alec Baldwin in his breakout role as the first (and best) Jack Ryan - The Hunt for Red October is a taut, fun ride from start to finish and the perfect coda for an era.

Question: Between the original 1987 version of Robocop and the 2014 reboot of Robocop, which is better? And why is it the original 1987 version? We’re diving into the universe of OCP’s most controversial crime fighting machine. We look at how such a goofy concept of a half-robot, half-human, all-crime fighter could have so much wit and black comedy in the middle of the Reagan era. We’ll also tear into it’s reboot, which had significantly better effects, higher budget, a cast of brilliant actors, and became a neutered, bland, tiresome cash grab.

1999 was arguably the last big watershed movie year, one brimming with a crazy number of now-recognized classics that helped push cinema into the next millennium. That’s it, that’s our thesis. 1999 was crazy full of unique studio movies that would likely never see a green light in today’s franchise-driven climate: The Matrix; Office Space; Fight Club; Sixth Sense; American Pie; Being John Malkovich; Three Kings; Magnolia; Eyes Wide Shut; and more. The films are weird, personal, periodically profane, and often darkly funny. And their legacy remains. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:12 - Homecoming (Amazon) | 10:50 - The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Gibbons) | 13:45 - Sports in the age of COVID-19 | 19:30 - Dave Made A Maze (2017) | 23:10 - Fast Five (2011) | 28:30 - Thank God It’s Friday (1978) | 35:46 - 1999: the year in movies | 52:11 - The Mummy (1999) | 58:25 - Fight Club (1999) SPOILERS | 1:09:10 - Office Space (1999) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Prince and the Revolution - 1999 | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Clip from Homecoming s1e1: Mandatory | Battlebots Reboot Theme | Clip from Battlebots s3e1: It’s Robot Fighting Time! | Tandemoro - Pinball (from Dave Made A Maze) | Brain Tyler - Fast Five | Love & Kisses - Thank God It’s Friday | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Spybreak! - Propellerheads | Jerry Goldsmith & Orchestra - The Mummy | The Dust Brothers - Homework | Lunachicks - Spoilt / Joss Stone - Spoiled / Monty Python - Spam | Perez Prado and His Orchestra - Mambo No. 8 | Trey Parker and Matt Stone - Uncle Fucker | Ricky Martin - Livin’ la Vida Loca

But it takes a true talent to make an entire album of funny songs that stands out, much less build a whole career on it.

Before you could call up any comedy special on streaming, before cable TV was bloating with stand-up comics.... There was the “party album.” Comedy sketches and audio laughs on a circular slab of vinyl. This week we dive headlong into the lost art of comedy albums.

Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man is a movie that probably shouldn’t exist, yet thankfully does. The 1991 actioner was supposed to be a big hit for stars Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson, the titular heroes with names that wander dangerously close to copyright infringement. The story is simple: It’s a modern western set in the near future of 1996 wherein two drifters literally rob a stagecoach to save their local saloon. There are gunfights and explosions galore, sure, but also a lot of goofy charm thanks to the strong onscreen chemistry of the two leads. And it still failed to find an audience. Both actors admit they were only in it for the money, with Johnson even saying, “If you're a fan of mindless action. If you don’t have a single brain cell in your head, this is the film for you.” Which is one of the biggest undersells in movie history, because this one is pure gold, kids. A bona fide cult classic, and another Lost VHS Classic review from the crack MagHuge team.

The Kids in the Hall is not only one of the funniest things to come out of Canada, it is also one of the funniest things we have ever watched on television. Five guys from the Great White North formed a sketch comedy troupe in the mid-80s that begat a hugely influential TV show that aired from 1988-1994 on HBO and helped kickstart the 90’s sketch show renaissance. With oddball characters placed in mundane situations, the show’s humor was always dark, strange and hilarious. But when they inserted mundane characters into the strange and absurd, that’s when they gave us some classic bits. It’s a show that definitely influenced us, and one we quote often, so we figured it was about time to give it a proper salute. Here’s to The Kids in the Hall! We’re crushing your heads…!

Welcome to the Magnificently Huge Podcast 3rd Anniversary Show! Which also happens to coincide with Star Wars Day, May 4. So, May the Something Something… We celebrate our 3 years in existence with our annual gabfest about all things Star Wars. Because why not? This time we look to the sins of the recent past and air our grievances about the final Skywalker Trilogy. What did they manage to get right? How very much did they get completely wrong? And are we the only podcast that dares to say out loud how much we actually like The Last Jedi? Questionable hot takes abound in this very special episode about Star Wars, Episode 7, 8 & 9. Buckle up for lightspeed, you porg eaters, because no force ghost can save you now.

Giorgio Moroder is the most influential musician you have probably never heard of. He was an early techno musician and producer before there was anything even called, “techno.” (In other words, without Giorgio Moroder, no Daft Punk.) He has written songs for David Bowie, Blondie, Janet Jackson, and a bunch more than I can put down here. He produced all of the best singles Donna Summer ever recorded, before becoming the most sought after soundtrack composer in the 70s and 80s.If you’re a fan of the films Scarface, or Top Gun, or American Gigolo, or The Neverending Story, you know what he adds to a movie is outer-worldly. So this week, we are celebrating the unmitigated genius of one of our favorite musicians, Giorgio Moroder.

Before he was Forrest Gump...Before he became America’s Dad...Tom Hanks almost killed his career in the 1980’s with a string of mediocre, low-box-office comedies where he basically played the same role repeatedly - the charming, lovable, unthreatening, wisecracking everyman. Apart from making a big splash with enormous hits like Big and Splash, there is little to distinguish most of his movies made in the Me Decade. Which got us to thinking: How did the 80’s not manage to sink Tom Hanks entirely? Because about 93% of his filmography from this era is pretty awful, if we’re being honest. Don’t get us wrong, there are a few underappreciated gems in the lot, to be sure, and we’ll mostly be touching on those. Join us for a look back at a time before he was a superstar and T.

Heading into Week 5 of Pandemic Self-Isolation and we’re all a bit stir crazy. So we decided to test a new Chrome extension called Netflix Party, which makes it possible to watch something on the streaming service simultaneously from different places. For this grand experiment, we picked a low budget 2014 Indian sci-fi kids show called Maharakshak Aryan - because reasons. Long-story-short, we heckle the hell out of this bonkers Last Airbender-meets-Power Rangers-meets-Sid & Marty Kroft romp - that you can’t see because this is an audio podcast. We’re dumb like that. But hey, nobody said socially distancing was pretty, and everything is horrible right now anyway.

If you were stuck at home sick in the dark days before cable t.v., before VCR’s, and well before the internet, you had limited options to fill the day. Sure, you could’ve read Judy Blume or Encyclopedia Brown books, but that was just like being at school. Instead, you plopped yourself down in front of your best friend, the television, and watched whatever crap happened to be on. Like, all day. This involved a few cartoons, The Price Is Right, and endless re-runs of old shows so lackluster that you won’t even see them on TV Land because nobody misses it. Yup, Gen-X is uniquely prepared to ride out a pandemic while stuck at home, enduring what most people call “boredom” - because we’ve been doing this our whole lives.

Is seeing your first R-rated movie even considered a right of passage any more? Used to be you had to sneak into a theater to get nudity, profanity and some good old-fashioned ultra-violence. And then came PG-13, giving teenagers a watered-down version of what once passed for Rated R fun. But kids these days have the internet and can pretty much watch whatever they want, whenever they want. The poor bastards will never know the empty joy of circumventing an arbitrary MPAA ratings system in the pursuit of a cheap thrill. And don’t even get us started on NC-17. In short, ratings are for suckers and any system that lets Poltergeist be PG is broken beyond repair. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:26 - The End of the F**cking World (Netflix) | 9:05 - Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) | 14:54 - New Order - Music Complete (2015) | 18:21 - Apple Earpods Pro | 21:26 - Down The Hill: The Delphi Murders (podcast) | 24:25 - Newcomers (podcast) | 26:23 - Greener Grass (2019) | 30:27 - Witch Mountain movies (Disney) | 38:20 - R rated movies | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Dr. John - Right Place Wrong Time | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Nancy Wilson - (You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am | Arthur Simonini - La Jeune Fille en Feu (Bande originale du film) | New Order - Academic | New Order - Stray Dog | Hallway Swimmers - Nightswag (featured in Greener Grass) | Johnny Mandel - Escape to Witch Mountain | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Electronic - Getting Away With It

Little Shop of Horrors! First it was a cult B-Movie! Then it was a hit off-Broadway musical! Which then became the highest-grossing cult movie musical of 1986 based on a stage show adapted from an old Roger Corman film! You don’t want to miss how we break it all down to explore why Little Shop of Horrors is so damn fun, considering it is about how everything sucks, people are inherently horrible, and we are all doomed.

Child actors - one of the cruelest ways we tortured children until we started forcing them to sew Nike shoes. These people start out cute and precocious, but get thrown to the wolves with no job skills, unrealistic expectations of the world, and weird faces that kind of look like that kid from that show. In other words, hilarious. Schadenfreude for ugly people. And a cautionary tale for parents looking to Lohan their daughters: Hollywood eats the young. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:00 - Cruel World Festival | 8:20 - Locke And Key (Netflix, 2020) | 14:35 - Freaky Friday (1976) | 21:30 - A Very Stable Genius (Rucker, Leoning - 2020) | 29:30 - Upgrading a PC | 30:40 - Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) | 40:11 - The Fault in our Child Stars | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Stingray Karaoke - Oops!...

How many bands are named after places? A freakin’ crapload, that’s how many! Join the MagHuge crew as we explore the strange phenomenon of musical acts who can’t think of anything interesting to call themselves so they just pick a random place and run with it - like Chicago, Kansas, Asia, or Berlin. Think globally, name locally, that’s our motto for today. From streets and cities, to states and nations, all the way to continents, planets, galaxies and beyond, no place is safe!

Brazil, the 1985 movie by Terry Gilliam, is a dark-comedy masterpiece that is both a spoof of Orwell’s 1984, but also a brilliant satire of mindless bureaucracy run amok. And it is one of our all-time favorite films. In the world of Brazil, if you are not part of the system, then you are part of the problem. One lonely cog in the machine, a mid-level paper pusher and daydreamer named Sam Lowry, just wants to remain anonymous - until a benign computer mix-up embroils him in a Kafka-esque nightmare to keep his free will and escape with the literal girl of his dreams. The movie’s downer ending was so misunderstood by its corporate-owned studio, Universal, that it kicked off a David and Goliath battle between Gilliam and the studio for the final cut that wound up mirroring many of the themes in the movie itself. To this day there are two versions - the original Gilliam cut and the shorter, neutered “Love Conquers All” studio cut - that present a fascinating case-study in art versus commerce. Full of astounding visuals, a great cast, and a title song you will never forget, Brazil is a groundbreaking film that has only grown in stature and influence over the decades. So watch the thing, already. | 0:00 - Intros | 6:00 - Succession (HBO) | 8:25 - They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) | 11:36 - Apple Music | 13:00 - The Gentlemen (2020) | 19:35 - Unidentified Flying Oddball (1979) | 25:15 - Sex Education (Netflix) | 28:00 - The Good Place (NBC) | 29:12 - VHYes (2019) | 32:!5 - Dark Ages: A Miracle Workers Anthology (TBS) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Geoff & Maria Muldaur - Brazil | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Nicholas Britell - Succession (Main Title Theme) | Harry Carlton & J.A.

Everyone has their first Mad Max, the titular anti-hero of the wasteland first brought to life in 1979 by filmmaker George Miller. Four films made across 40 years, they still pack a wallop and remain one of the most influential series ever made. So which one started it for you? The Road Warrior? Fury Road?

Kevin Costner was a cinematic superstar who starred in a series of massive hits from 1985 to 1992. He even won an Oscar for directing himself in Dances With Wolves, for Pete’s sake. And then, for some unfathomable reason, he made two vanity projects virtually back-to-back in the mid-90s that have become synonymous with Heaven’s Gate/Ishtar-level failure - Waterworld (1995) and The Postman (1997). Both films are bloated, meandering, budget-busting epics - self-serving star vehicles set in a post-apocalyptic future that borrow heavily from repurposed Mad Max tropes. Costner is in his usual star-mode, playing the stoic loner who becomes an unlikely white savior by the end. You know, that old chestnut. Not surprisingly, both Waterworld and The Postman were widely panned by critics and pretty much ignored upon their release. Despite all this, we kinda like them, warts and all.

2019 was the Endgamiest year on record! Here’s all we could muster the energy to talk about - from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs, and all that other junk in between.

Roland Emmerich: A director whose career is marked by huge aspirations, enormous spectacle, and an amazing track record of success considering no one admits liking his work. Clint Eastwood is still mistakenly thought of as a genius for making sloppy, boring biographical dramas, but Roland Emmerich's genius is all but ignored despite a filmography that includes the destruction of the Earth FOUR TIMES. Is he formulaic? Yes. Is his dialogue laughably stupid? You betcha. But he's a B movie filmmaker with A movie budgets. And you can't deny the ambition of an artist whose oeuvre extends from 10000 BC to the day after tomorrow. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:07 - The Rachel Maddow Show (podcast) | 9:50 - Joker (2019) | 16:00 - Brian’s Christmas Music pick of the week - Sugar and Booze | 17:42 - Sparks - Please Don’t F**k Up My World | 18:30 - Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) | 21:50 - The Mandalorian (Disney+, 2019) | 25:10 - Watchmen (HBO, 2019) | 31:00 - Roland Emmerich | 34:40 - Noah’s Ark Principle (1984) | 36:56 - Moon 44 (1990) | 40:02 - Universal Soldier (1992) | 44:52 - Stargate (1994) | 51:00 - Independence Day (1996) | 53:50 - Godzilla (1998) | 56:00 - The Patriot (2000) | 58:00 - The Day After Tomorrow (2004) | 1:02:30 - 10,000 B.C.

When it comes to Christmas specials that define the fabric of the holiday season, few are as vital (or strange) as the Rankin/Bass stop-motion acid trip classic, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It has aired every single year since 1964, which is astonishing. Even more astonishing is the fact that this “Christmas Classic” has very little to do with actual Christmas. It features a Yeti, a crazy mountain man with a pick-axe fetish, and a gender-fluid elf named Hermey who just wants to be a dentist. Which all just screams Christmas. Still, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the crown jewel in the Rankin/Bass library of holiday specials - utterly sublime weirdness that is equal parts wholesome family fun and intense WTF-ery - and we unwrap all of the splendor in our Very Special MagHuge Holiday Special!

Join us for our hot take on the star-studded Rian Johnson (The Last Jedi, Brick) whodunit that has single handedly reinvigorated the cable-knit sweater industry - Knives Out. Beware of spoilers here, because we definitely tell you that it was Mrs. Peacock in the library with the candlestick. Wait, wrong mystery-comedy…but trust us, this one is damn fun. It will keep you guessing to the very end when you find out it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the revolver… Wait, still not the right movie. Anyway, Knives Out is an entertaining romp of the kind they don’t really make much anymore, and we have the gamut of opinions about it all. Plus, the cast is astonishing, and includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Christopher Plummer, Michael Shannon, Ana de Armas & Toni Collette - and all of them get to chew their fair share of scenery in this delightful eat-the-rich class war comedy. And every time you think you know whodunit, trust us, you don’t. But beware, before this thing is over you may also want a donut or two.

It’s the holidays, and that means watching every Bond film, one after another. Holidays without Bond is like Thanksgiving without turkey, like rain without clouds, like sex without a finger in your butt. While that metaphor is rolling around in your head, consider just how much some Bond films… well… are kind of crap. This episode explores which Bond film is the second worst of the bunch. We didn’t bother looking at the actual worst Bond film, because everyone knows it’s “Die Another Day.” Too easy. Shooting fish in a barrel, talking about how badly that one sucks. So instead, the penultimate bad Bond film. Plus our usual fresh shit and witty banter.

Let’s talk turkeys, because this round we’re giving thanks for movies that stank! Yup, that’s right…we gorge ourselves on empty calorie entertainment that we should hate on pure principle. These movies may be dumb, but we still love them in spite of our better judgment. Join us as we explore a handful of films that are not only so-bad-they’re-good, but so-bad-they’re-beyond-awesome. It’s arbitrary and asinine, but that’s pretty much what this entire podcast is about. Ain’t no shame in this game.

We have come here to chew bubblegum and make a podcast to celebrate John Carpenter's 1988 B-movie classic, They Live. And we are all out of bubblegum. If you don't know this film, then dammit, go watch it! For everyone else, try not to focus too much on the fact that its message remains depressingly relevant 31 years later. But at least it has the best fight scene ever filmed. Don't question that, it is just a fact.

Can you think of ONE GOOD SONG by an artist or band you otherwise despise? That is a challenge, one we found to be deceptively difficult. Seriously, please don’t expect us to defend anything by Nickelback. Or Creed. Or Ed Sheeran. Luckily, those are all indefensible and we won’t waste your time. But that doesn’t mean we don’t make the case for a few other songs that we actually enjoy from artists that normally make us want to drive icepicks into our earholes.* Even a shite band can rise above their own mediocrity to create a single, solitary tune that is - dare we say it? - listenable. Unless that band involves Nickelback, Creed or Ed Sheeran. *As always, the opinions expressed on this show are arbitrary and in no way reflect a sane, reasonable judgment about anything.

Another Star Trek show? You’re damn right, because Star Trek is a touchstone of American geek pop culture. And if you don’t like it, you probably had a girlfriend in high school. But so what? Let’s talk 90s era Trek: from Next Generation to Deep Space Nine to Voyager, plus the movies, a smidge of Enterprise, wack-a-doodle timelines, and the short-lived United Paramount Network... because money eventually ruins everything. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:09 - Zombieland: Double-Tap (2019) | 8:10 - The Laundromat (Netflix, 2019) | 11:15 - Dolemite Is My Name (Netflix, 2019) | 16:40 - Undone (Amazon, 2019) | 19:50 - AWOLNATION (live) | 22:10 - Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) | 26:30 - Parasite (2019) | 31:55 - Star Trek | 45:00 - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine | 54:30 - Star Trek: Voyager | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Jerry Goldsmith - Star Trek: The Next Generation Theme | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | David Sardy - Outro Song - Zombieland Double Tap | Clip from Repo Man (1984) | Eli “Paperboy” Reed and the True Loves - I’m Gonna Getcha Back | Rudy Ray Moore - Dolemite | AWOLNATION - Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf) (live) | Geoff Zanelli - Mistress of Evil - Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Jung Jaeil - The Belt of Faith - Parasite (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Alexander Courage - Star Trek (Original Series Main Title) | Russel Watson - Faith of the Heart (Star Trek: Enterprise Theme) | Dennis McCarthy - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Main Title, Season IV) | Jerry Goldsmith - Star Trek: Voyager (Main Title) | Clip from Fight Club | Clip from Star Trek: The Next Generation s2e16 - “Q Who?” | Leonard Nimoy - Highly Illogical

Martin Scorsese recently went on record to state that superhero movies – more specifically, Marvel movies – are “not cinema” and nothing more than “amusement park rides.” To the legendary filmmaker behind movie classics like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas & Raging Bull we only have this to say: Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man. But one thing is certain, he touched a nerve with filmgoers and started a worthy conversation about the state of the cineplex today. He maybe didn’t choose the best phrasing, and old white guys yelling at kids to get off their lawns is not always a good look when trying to make a point. But hey, Scorsese has still made some kickass films and is legit one of the greatest living directors, so he can say whatever he wants. It just so happens that we can also disagree with him, too. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:20 - Gotham (Fox, 2019) | 10:25 - Hercule Poirot | 18:30 - Adventurous Stills | 19:25 - Gemini Man (2019) | 26:50 - Scorsese V.

It’s the annual ham-fisted #MagHuge attempt at a Halloween-themed show as we scare up some laughs with a bloody awful talk about horror comedies! It’s monsters, zombies, vampires and homicidal, ax-wielding woodsmen galore in a parade of classic films that took the normal fright tropes and added some killer jokes that always make us smile in between the gruesome deaths. Plus, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special from 1976 gets a hot take! So take off that cheap plastic mask, grab a handful of your favorite mini-candy, and enjoy a survey of some of our favorite hilarious scare-fests...before we smash some pumpkins, egg your house, and tee-pee your yard.

Do you like heists? Guns? Method actors? Method actors playing coked up characters? Method actors getting coked up and chewing scenery while doing heists and shooting a LOT of guns? Have we got a movie for you!

Grab your broadsword, put on your loincloth, oil up those abs, and prepare for a magical journey into peak 1980’s Sword & Sorcery movies! From 1980-1985, this nudity-filled, blood-soaked Fantasy subgenre was all the rage thanks to the early success of studio offerings like Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian. While these titles brought a veneer of credibility to the genre, it was soon overrun by increasingly terrible low-budget/no-budget Conan clones. Still, each film was brimming with everything 13-year-old boys with Frank Frazetta posters on their walls and D&D in their hearts really want: Lots of boobs, lots of graphic violence, severed limbs, monsters, decapitations, more boobs, some derring-do, a bit more nudity, and enchanted weapons that make zero sense once any scrutiny is given to them (just like the plots). Let us now recount those glorious days of high adventure, filled with barbarians, boobs, swords & sorcery! | 0:00 - Intros | 6:20 - Brittany Runs A Marathon (2019) | 7:49 - Hustlers (2019) | 12:24 - NHL Hockey | 14:04 - The Dead Don’t Die (2019) | 19:20 - 80’s Sword & Sorcery | 20:36 - Conan the Barbarian (1982) | 21:30 - Hawk The Slayer (1980) | 23:36 - Sorceress (1982) | 26:34 - Dragonslayer (1981) | 31:02 - Excalibur (1981) | 32:45 - The Beastmaster (1982) | 37:02 - Ator The Blade Master (1982) | 41:22 - The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) | 48:14 - Krull (1983) | 50:14 - Legend (1985) | 53:00 - Hundra (1983) | 56:20 - Conan the Destroyer (1984) | 57:45 - Ladyhawke (1985) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Basil Poledouris - The Orgy - Conan the Barbarian (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Duncan Thum - NYC Marathon (Alt Version) - Brittany Runs A Marathon (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Fiona Apple - Criminal | Stompin’ Tom Connors - The Hockey Song | SQÜRL - The Dead Don’t Die - The Dead Don’t Die (Original Score) | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Basil Poledouris - Anvil of Crom (From “Conan the Barbarian”) - performed by Celestial Aeon Project | Trailer for Sorceress (1982) | Negativland - The Playboy Channel | Alex North - End Credits - Dragonslayer (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Trailer for Zardoz (1974) | Lee Holdridge - The Legend of Dar - The Beastmaster (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Clip from Conan the Barbarian (1982) | Trailer for The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) | Chuck Cirino - End Title - Deathstalker II (1987) | Brandon K.
