Stuart Gordon's Weird masterpiece from 1986 featuring Jeffrey Combs & Barbara Crampton and tiny forehead dicks.

Mac & Me
In this classic episode, we look at Mac & Me, the feature length McDonald's ad that tells the heartwarming tale of a boy and his cola-addicted alien, which is totally not a rip off of E.T. at all. Pretty nice!

The Andromeda Strain
In this episode, we take a look at the 1971 hard science fiction film The Andromeda Strain! Back in the 70s, movies were totally cool with showing you how actual science unraveled mysteries and this one is chock full of people looking at graphs, conducting tests and experimenting on rats. Will they solve the mystery of why a baby and an old man are still alive when they’ve been exposed to a deadly virus bacteria STRAIN from outer space?

One Missed Call
There's ghosts in your flip phone!

Super Seal
A heartwarming tale of a girl, her seal and her weird grandfather (played by Sterling Holloway, better known as the voice of Winnie the Pooh). Definitely not an extended ad for Sea World. Also, Foster Brooks drives drunk because that's how you get the funny in your kiddie movie.

Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke
Everyone's favorite stoner comedy duo' first film!

Zardoz
Classic episode! We give in to the inevitability of the 1974 Sean Connery sci fi cult classic, Zardoz! There was no way we wouldn’t eventually do this one. The gun is good, the penis is evil, y’all.

Money Plane
Ocean's Eleven on a cheap airplane set, with a wild Kelsey Grammar and an old pro wrestler.
What could go wrong?
