Directing tandems is the topic of the day.  Whether they be siblings, friends, lovers, or enemies, the gang discusses what makes these particular directors excel when working in pairs.

It's a full house as the gang gathers to discuss The Golden Raspberry Awards, its deserving recipients, and a few recipients who were possibly too harshly judged at the time.

Joey and Todd stop by the Shop to watch the 2024 release, "Wanted Man", written, directed, and starring Dolph Lundgren. With Kelsey Grammer riding shotgun, how can we possibly go wrong?

Join the gang as we bare all and discuss surprising nudity in film.  From iconic scenes to actors looking to change perceptions of their images, skin is the theme of the day.

It's a full house as the gang dukes it out to determine the top movie in arguably the best year for film, 1999.

We're celebrating our 300th Episode by discussing the movie, 300, and other films where numbers figure heavily in the titles. So, grab your sword and shield and join the fray.

Travis and Shawn have the dirt on this episode!  Since the early days of film, blackmail has been a useful plot device.  Join us as we discuss some devious flicks driven by the dirty deed.

The power of Christ compels Shawn, Travis, and Todd to spew about The Exorcist and its many knockoffs. With so many borrowed elements, it'll make your head spin. Will one levitate to the top of the list?

Shawn, Joey, and Todd jump aboard the Nostromo to fumble around in the dark and discover the many inferior knockoffs of the film, "Alien". Are any worth gestating, or should they all get the airlock treatment?

Shawn and Travis snack after midnight and talk about the knockoffs of 1984's Christmas classic, Gremlins. Sharp-toothed shenanigans abound, ranging from 'decent' to 'downright awful'.

October's theme is knockoffs of iconic films, and this week, Shawn, Travis, Joey, and Todd chum the waters to attract the many imitators of 1975's "Jaws". With 9 films on the charter, strap yourself into your fishing chair and reel in this whopper.

Shawn and Travis dream up a doozy and discuss "Dreamscape" and other iconic dream movies.  If that weren't enough, they share their dream journals because everyone likes hearing someone tell you about their dreams, right?

Travis, Joey, Todd, and Shawn riverdance into the shop to watch "Blackbird", produced, written, directed, and starring Michael "Lord of the Dance" Flatley. Does this cavalcade of jaunty hats and awkward touches hold up? Does Flatley have a future in film? Join us and find out!
