Like most Americans, the World Cup 2018 meant nothing this year to us, so we decided to turn our attention towards a more enjoyable SOCCER (USA!USA!) entertainment in the form of The Big Green. A monumental episode for Reel Rotten as it is our first official film with a 0%, but it is also the return of our theme song writer Joe. Come one and come all as we share of piece of 90's nostalgia, and bicycle kick this failed sports film into your long term memory banks!
Happy Independence Day! It's the time of year when you cook outside, light stuff on fire, and see big box office movies, but what really happened in 1776 when our founders said fuck tea, and fuck King George? Well, if you base all of your history knowledge on 1985's Revolution, you'll likely think the American Revolution was very muddy, revolved a little too much around drummer boys, and had taken place on location in England. So in the interest of creating a better society Nick and Stephen watched Revolution and are here to wake you from your patriotic catatonia. In this bonus episode the guys go all in on perhaps the worst movie about patriotism ever. This movie bombed so hard Al Pacino took 4 years off from acting. 4 YEARS. What we would give for that now. Listen and subscribe, etc. America!
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they make you hate their family. From the town of Bedrock, filled with product placement and... you get it. In honor of dinosaurs once again being the hottest thing in the history of time we watched the Flintstones movie. With the help of our guest Sophie we dig deep into the prehistoric past of 1994, and not so fondly remember a film from our childhood. Currently streaming on Netflix, subject yourself to this movie and join in on our "fun."
The Circle is just a shape to most of you, but to others it's life. We get deep into the ridiculous premise that is The Circle and just how a movie that could have been so right, goes so dang wrong. Featuring bad accents, police states, and kayaks this movie has it all and we have something to say about all of it. Complete with our own shape themed movies and general disbelief that this movie was made.
Blade. Laser. Blazer. Wesley Snipes doesn't wear a blazer in this movie but he sure does fuck up some vampires. We watched Blade: Trinity in honor of Ryan Reynolds talking his way into Deadpool. Thought it was on the high side of Rotten Tomatoes this movie will always be low to us. Featuring our "guest" Alex (we know, we know), we break down just how Blade: Trinity breaks down 15 minutes into the movie. Though under 2 hours it really feels like 2+ hours you'll never get back. We talk Reynolds, we talk Biel, we talk Snipes, we talk drunk(ish) because that's really the only way to watch this movie. Listen up and listen in!
Do you remember your SAT score, or are you trying to actively forget it? Well your living in the past and/or dwelling on the past is almost over. A movie about the test that test that you've likely moved on from is the cure. So start the timer, get your number 2 Ticonderoga pencil and fill in those dots and join Nick and Stephen on the only journey about the SATs that you'll ever take.
Holy Joel Schumacher Batman! Get ready to take a CHILL pill as we journey to the cinematic experience, also only known as Batman & Robin. Join Nick, Stephen, and everyone's favorite go-to guest Kyle, as they discuss this ensemble cast film that sent super-hero genre into the dark-ages.
The holiday for tokers and smokers and stoners has come and gone, but we couldn't help but capitalize on the rich genre of stoner comedies. Joined by cannabis enthusiast Jacob, we break down the movie about boys for boys. We highly recommend going back in time and watching this movie again as a teenager, because it only gets worse from there.
Having the post-Wrestlemania Blues? Didn’t think it was fair how that they wrote that one guy to lose to another? Have no fear, because we vented your frustrations for you, by giving the ol’ snapmare to the classic professional wrestling film Ready To Rumble. Listen in as we discuss the highest high, and lowest lows of this sports entertainment classic, and Oliver Platt!
March Madness is almost at an end, but just in case you're not ready we have a podcast episode for you! We watched NCAA basketball movie favorite, The Sixth Man. We brought on our own sixth man, hoophead Dave, who provided the 6'8" height, as well as the basketball knowledge to this MADNESS themed podcast. We talked the Wayans, how having a ghost on your team is cheating, death, and of course did a fantasy basketball draft. LISTEN UP!
