The Overdue Homework Podcast

Clark Griswold once again proves that the true spirit of Christmas is blind optimism mixed with catastrophic home-owner negligence. As his house becomes a magnet for electrical fires, feral squirrels, and uninvited relatives, Clark clings to the dream of a “fun old-fashioned family Christmas” like a man who’s never met his own family. By the time the SWAT team crashes through the windows, the only real miracle is that no one died.

Point Break is the touching story of an FBI agent who goes undercover and immediately forgets he’s supposed to be undercover, because surfing with dudes who may or may not rob banks is apparently more important than his job. Keanu Reeves delivers his lines with the emotional range of a toaster, while Patrick Swayze radiates “cool philosophy major who definitely smells like patchouli.” The movie insists that surfing is basically a r...

A drifter with a mullet and a bad attitude discovers that the world’s elite are actually hideous aliens selling consumerism like it’s a religion. Armed with magical sunglasses and a shotgun, he decides subtlety is overrated. Between one-liners and the world’s longest fistfight, he tries to wake up humanity one shattered TV at a time. It’s capitalism, conspiracy, and cheap shades—all brought to you by John Carpenter and the Reagan e...

In The Rock (1996), Nicolas Cage plays a nerdy chemist who suddenly becomes an action hero because apparently, science and explosions are the same thing. Sean Connery shows up as a suave ex-prisoner who escaped Alcatraz once and now has to break back in, because irony is the real villain here. Ed Harris leads a group of patriotic terrorists who think chemical weapons are a reasonable form of negotiation. It’s two hours of macho one...

The Ghost and the Darkness is basically Jaws, but with lions and fewer functional accents. Val Kilmer tries to build a bridge, but instead builds a buffet line for two man-eating cats who think they’re horror movie villains. Enter Michael Douglas, rocking a mullet and a rifle like they’re superpowers, only to prove he’s just as edible as everyone else. By the end, the lions are the most competent characters in the movie.

This is th...

2025's Summer of Sequels continues with The Lost World. Jurassic Park 2 or JP2 as I like to call it is up.

The Lost World is basically Jeff Goldblum cashing a paycheck while dinosaurs remind everyone why humans should stop messing with cloning. The plot? Corporate greed drags everyone back to Dino Island™ because apparently getting eaten alive the first time wasn’t clear enough. Then, in a bold move, the movie turns into Godzilla J...

2025's Summer of Sequels continues with D2 the Mighty Ducks

In D2: The Mighty Ducks, Coach Bombay trades in his integrity for a slick haircut and a Team USA jacket, leading his scrappy misfits to an international hockey tournament that somehow includes Iceland as the villain. The kids, now suddenly elite athletes, juggle fame, fashion, and blatant product placement like it's their actual sport. Along the way, they bond with new tea...

2025's Summer of Sequels continues:

TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze doubles down on mutant mayhem and halves the edge of the original, trading nunchucks for dad jokes. The turtles discover their gooey origins while battling Shredder, who somehow survives being crushed and upgrades into a sparkly rage monster. Instead of fan-favorites Bebop and Rocksteady, we get Tokka and Rahzar—basically a wolf and snapping turtle on bath salts. O...

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is like watching your favorite video game get adapted by a group of stunt doubles on their lunch break. The plot crashes through scenes like a drunk Raiden—loud, confusing, and dressed in questionable white linen. Characters pop in, say their names, do a flip, and immediately die like they're in a fatality-themed improv class. It's less of a sequel and more of a 90-minute cutscene from hell where nobody ...

Jim Carrey flails, contorts, and screams his way through Miami as Ace Ventura, a pet detective with the fashion sense of a tropical bird and the social grace of an unleashed ferret. When the Miami Dolphins’ mascot, Snowflake, goes missing, along with quarterback Dan Marino, Ace embarks on a ridiculous, logic-defying investigation full of wild animal hijinks, and the kind of slapstick that only Carrey can deliver. Along the way, he ...

The Terminator is the story of a woman who wakes up to find out that not only is the future doomed, but *she* is the reason it might survive — if she can live long enough. A soulless machine in human skin hunts her through a city that couldn’t care less, and her only ally is a soldier from a broken future who’s barely holding himself together. As bodies pile up and reality collapses around her, Sarah Connor learns that destiny isn’...

A ragtag team of American martial artists—led by a ponytailed Eric Roberts and a stoic James Earl Jones—must set aside their egos, injuries, and personal demons to take on the seemingly invincible South Korean taekwondo team. Packed with slow-motion kicks, emotional brooding, and an unexpected dose of heart, Best of the Best punches above its weight as a sports drama. It’s not just about winning—it's about honor, redemption, and sq...

In Mouse Hunt (1997), two hapless brothers inherit a decrepit mansion, only to discover its real tenant—a cunning little mouse who refuses to be evicted. What begins as a simple pest problem spirals into a slapstick war of escalating traps, chaos, and destruction. The brothers’ dreams of auctioning the house for millions clash hilariously with the mouse's unyielding determination to stay put. Packed with clever gags and absurdly in...
