Nathan & Brendan dived head-first right into a Disney nightmare wrapped in a romantic sub-plot wrapped in a goofy comedy wrapped in an action epic. That's right, they watched "The Lone Ranger" and boy oh boy, did they ever have some things to get off their chests!
The guys talk about everything from one of the most questionable casting choices of the 21st and 20th century, Helena Bonham-Carter's miniscule role being enough to land her on the poster, the unnecessary wrap-around story and the final line of the movie that figuratively urinates on anyone who was a fan of the source material.
Also: listen in for a clue in this episode regarding the next great film that will be covered.

Summer Flopbuster season begins with a very special patriotic episode on this most patriotic of days for our American brethren - July the 4th!
Nathan and Brendan celebrate a holiday that doesn't exist in their own home country by talking all about 1984's Red Dawn. Discussions range from the director making everyone refer to him as "The General" to the film's status as an unofficial "Brat Pack" movie to "AVENGE MEEEEEEEEE!" Fireworks! Commies! Baseball! 'Murica!
Next week: The guys drop a hint for their next movie. Check in on our Twitter account on Monday for the movie reveal!

At least the guys technically watched a somewhat-coherent movie this week.
Brendan and a very special guest co-host are joined by Congo superfans Steve and Izzy from Everything I Learned from Movies to discuss the Michael Crichton adaptation followup to Jurassic Park starring Laura Linney and a talking gorilla.
The gang discuss everything from Steve and Izzy's absolute undying love of this film, all of the insane accents, terrible CGI lava, the love story between Peter and Amy the gorilla, Delroy Lindo's cameo and much more.
The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check on Facebook or Twitter on Monday for the reveal!

Schlocktober continues with another vampire flick!
Amanda the Jedi makes her return to the show to help the guys dissect the 2002 vampire/rock & roll opus Queen of the Damned.
They talk about Aaliyah starring in the movie for eight minutes, the rules of being a vampire, bad parking at outdoor concerts, Jesse not having any regard for her own safety, the songs being performed by Korn and much more.
Plus: everyone reminisces about movies they liked when they were young only to be horribly disappointed upon rewatch.
The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie.

The guys are all over the road this week as they talk about the road-rage/serial killer thriller Unhinged starring Russell Crowe. Joining them is returning guest Galen Howard, who has lots of theories about a fake mother. The guys discuss the film in-depth and wonder - is Russell Crowe delivering the performance of a lifetime? Is there such thing as TOO MUCH foreshadowing? How much does Galen know about driving etiquette in California? Did that opening credit sequence get lifted from a different movie? What would happen in the sequel? Enjoy!
Check our social media on Sunday for the Sunday Screencrap and take a guess at our next movie!

Your favourite slab of turtle meat is back... and this time, it's personal.
Fly away with Nathan and Brendan on Air Gamera as per the November tradition on this here program. In this film and follow up to Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, the big guy takes on Legion, which are a bunch of weird triangle things with one eye. Throughout the course of this episode, the guys talk about the weird use of still images for multiple purposes, terrible dubbing, the "twist" that is obvious about five minutes into the movie, the distrust of Gamera despite him constantly saving the world and much, much more. Plus: Dolly Parton teams up with Gamera in the rootin' tootinest little honky-tonk of a film... coming soon!
Also: listen in for a clue regarding the next great movie that will be covered.

While Lucas generally sucks at Black Ops, the new Blackout mode is the bane of his existence - so why not force a few rounds upon him as Karma for making Pentavus go through Condemned 2.
