Garbage Day: Midnight Movie Mayhem

The boys talk about Purple Rain and why Prince is SO weird (and cool).

The fellas talk about Road House and all of the ridiculousness therein.

We talk about the immensely influential anime film Akira and how it is equally about global collapse and badass motorcycles.

We finally take on the movie that brought us our name (part of it). We have a long discussion about the film, Metallica, and commodification of art in general. All the usual shit and more and more of it. So much shit for you to consume. Astounding amounts.

Zak & Ralph discuss the highlights and lowlights of season 2. It's a loosy-goosy episode with many asides. A couple podcast recommendations. Y'know. Whatever. We'll see you next season. Thanks for hanging out with us.

The fellas return, joined by their good pal Nick Rice, to discuss the always stellar "The Big Lebowski".

Alright, cool. We have regrouped and we're coming back at ya. Picking right up where we left off. See you soon, babies.

Howdy, folks. Here is a quick explanation of why our next episode (on "The Big Lebowski") and all other episodes will be delayed for a little while.

The boys break down the E.T. (the Extra-Terrestrial) rip-off and extended McDonald's/Coke/etc. commercial "MAC [the Mysterious Alien Creature] & Me". Their opinions differ somewhat but one simply cannot argue with the entertainment value of an alien in a bear suit doing a dance routine on the countertop of a McDonald's.

We once again welcome our special guest and superfriend, Nick Rice, to discuss a film best known for a very fit gentleman cutting the tip of a slice of pizza with a pair of scissors and very little else.

Crime is the disease and Cobra is... another, more different disease...

That's right, folks. We're talking about Memento. The movie that goes backwards. That's abnormal!

This is an episode of one of Zak's other excellent podcasts called 'But Why Do You Like It?' which seemed like a great companion piece to our last episode on Commando. Special guests include Ralph (from this show that you listen to sometimes) and Nick Rice (our friend whomst we like a lot).

Enjoy! If you like it consider checking out the rest of the episodes.

The fellas explore the ludicrous Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, Commando, in all its baffling glory.

The fellas have a little talk about the biggest fish in the shitty movie pond: Tommy Wiseau's The Room. They fail, as many have, to lay out the full breadth of how bad it is but they possibly succeed in laying out the key to the entire movie. Of course, it is food-related. Really fun episode if I may so.

Ralph and Zak discuss the very knotty, not-particularly-well-aged 'American History X' and why one should always avoid having a bad time in the shower with their friends.

Special guest Noah Riccio joins us to talk about the very underwhelming dinosaur movie from the 90's that is not called 'The Lost World'.

Today we cover the Japanese mega-hit which took a while to catch on in America due to it being about high school kids murdering each other and coming out shortly after Columbine. That said, it is a hell of a fun time. Spoilers throughout, fyi. Other topics include: professional wrestling.

Hey!

By the way, go to @riccio_raidsagain and hire him if you like the new pod art. We sure do.

Have you ever felt true pain?

Ralph & Zak talk about the "worst movie ever" according to... some guy. Sure, it's bad. Does it compare to more recent innovations in bad movie technology? Does the movie deserve its cult status? Is Ed Wood cool? Yeah, actually. He was kinda cool. Kinda not too. People are complicated.

Zak & Ralph welcome special guest Matt Ferrett to the pod to talk about the cult sci-fi-horror-satire classic Robocop. Is it good? Well, yes. But we tell you why we think so. That's what podcasting is, silly goose.

Zak and Ralph wrestle with the 1979 cult film The Warriors, and all its eccentricities. Is it still worthy of its cult status?

CW: mention of sexual assault, references to racial stereotyping, Ronald Reagan, y'know, all of the worst stuff

The guys have absolutely nothing bad to say about Tremors. They have plenty to say, but not a bit of bad. 5 stars. Oh, spoilers, I guess. Whatever.

The guys dig into the stoner classic (???) 'Dazed & Confused'. Has it aged like milk? Like wine? Like wine that, when you go to drink it, has inexplicably turned to Jim Beam? Prepare for many dots to be connected. As a bonus, they set the record straight regarding their views on 'Clerks'.

This one is about the absolutely inexplicable classic Troll 2. A new theory is brought to light regarding WHY in the THE HECK the dialogue is the way it is. Ralph brings up being Italian more than is probably advisable. Zak is a perfect angel as always.

Zak and Ralph discuss the somewhat polarizing classic Donnie Darko. A film which both have a history with. Is it worthy of its cult classic status? Is it good? Is it dumb? Is it dumbgood? Join us. Unless you're busy.
