It’s a big year for #ZacAttack as we return to talk about Zac Efron’s newest film, A Family Affair, co-starring Nicole Kidman, Joey King, and Kathy Bates! We talk about how A Family Affair feels like a meta take on Zef’s career, how the movie always feels like it’s moonlighting as a car commercial, and how it seems unsure about who the main character really is. We debate if the ages are believable, if Nicole Kidman is too attractiv...

#ZacAttack is back already to talk about the newly-released Ricky Stanicky, now available to stream on Amazon Prime! After working our way through a complicated production backstory that includes so many of our guys (and exploring the history of the Hollywood Black List survey), we discuss how Zef is (once again) threatening to join the Fast & Furious franchise by choosing to team up with existing #family members. We talk about the...

#ZacAttack makes its triumphant return to the (podcasting) ring as we grapple with last year’s Von Erich family biopic The Iron Claw! Joe shares his history with the Von Erich family and Joey shares his history with watching this movie twice. We talk about the wildly depressing stuff *omitted* from this already-depressing film, talk about Zef’s declaration to never get Baywatch-level jacked again, and admire his ability as a “song ...

#ZacAttack returns again (like it’s a normally-scheduled podcast) to cover Zac Efron’s *other* new movie from 2022: Firestarter! Before we dive into the movie, we talk about his profile in Men’s Health and Vanessa Hudgens’s profile in Nylon. Then, we dive into Firestarter (which we eventually settle on calling “Strange Things”) as we explore the final state of this movie, how it compares to other versions, and the limitations of “c...

#ZacAttack is back for The Greatest Beer Run Ever, and we're dropping another (!) new episode next week, too, about Firestarter! Before we dive into the movie, we talk about a potential #ZacAttack spinoff we killed, preview upcoming Zac Efron movies, and remind you to listen to 2 Fast 2 Forever for more of the same show, but on a much more regular and frequent basis. Then, we (metaphorically) head to Vietnam to talk about whether o...

#ZacAttack is back! (Again!) We're kicking the year off right -- by covering Zac Efron's newest film, Gold. After running through a preview of Zef's upcoming movies, Joe tries to guess Zef's character name in this movie. We talk about his ties to Robert Pattinson and how this is the kind of movie we were hoping to see from him. We also talk about Gold as both his "COVID movie" and his "new groove" before trying to figure out what's...

#ZacAttack is back! We're only about 15 months late to the Scoob! party after being lured back via listener emails. We're bringing the 2 Fast 2 Forever format over to this podcast as we read listener emails, gauge our Scooby Doo histories, and take a moment to guess how Zef will cry and be shirtless in this movie. Then, after a break, we strike back with a vengeance to talk about all things Scoob!, including a Ryan Reynolds charact...

The Year of Zef continues! We previewed the Beach Bum a bit when we talked about Zef Bundy, but we’re back to give Harmony Korine’s latest movie its proper due. In this episode, we give praise to Zef as Flicker, one of the many weird souls that Moondog (Matthew McConaughey) encounters on his journeys throughout Florida. We also talk about Miniboo, Lingerie Doggy Dogg, Captain Wack and more as we embed ourselves deep into the neon-d...

In August 2015, we released our very first podcast and proceeded to tear through Nicolas Cage’s filmography at a breakneck pace. We had no idea that we'd continue after we finished Cage’s filmography, but we asked, “What’s next?” and went from there. After nearly four years, we are releasing our 1,000th episode.
In this episode, Joey Lewandowski talked many of your favorite CageClub Podcast Network hosts: Mike Manzi of Third Time’...

Welcome to the Summer of Zef! After nearly a year of no new #ZacAttack episodes, we're back with (at least) two new episodes this summer, and we're kicking things off with Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Zac Efron continues his shift from good guy to frat guy to... interesting guy? But is this role and this movie interesting enough? In this episode, we recap the past year of Zef news, open up a very dusty mailbag, and w...

#ZacAttack is back, baby! Joey and Joe Two missed Zac Efron too much, so they tapped back into the well and covered (by fan request) the pilot of Running Wild with Bear Grylls. Bear leads Zef on a two day journey through the woods ... on the hardest difficulty level the show was ready to dish out.

The Greatest Showman marks a return to Zac Efron's best genre (musicals) and throws us back in time to the dawn of the circus. There’s talk about trapeze, elephants, and when it’s just called “circus” (and not “the circus”). We also open the biggest mailbag ever and drive Jordan to the verge of delirium with game after game. Is The Greatest Showman our greatest episode? Listen and find out!

After months of waiting, #ZacAttack is finally back with a brand new episode! Turns out, maybe we should have kept waiting. We all love The Room, and we all love the fact that Zac Efron is (undeniably) the best part of The Disaster Artist, but this movie goes wrong in so many ways. To make sure we did our very best in covering this movie, The Room, and the magic that is Tommy Wiseau, Joey and Joe Two brought in Chris from Now and A...

With nothing new left to watch, Joey and Joe Two return to where it all began: We Are Your Friends. Recorded LIVE from Joe Two's house, we learn all about Zac Efron trivia, modern rappers (and the terrible trivia associated with them), and try to answer once and for all: ARE WE EVER GOING TO BE BETTER THAN THIS?!

Just like that, Joey and Joe Two had seen every Zac Efron movie. And since Miracle Run was a Lifetime Original Movie, you KNOW we have thoughts about it. Is it cheesy? Is it #problematic? You already know the answers!

We continue to spiral down the High School Musical rabbit hole with Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure 2, which is a fan fiction sequel to a movie we covered that didn't even feature Zac Efron. At this point, even we don't know where #ZacAttack will go next.
