This week’s episode of Flooping the Pig is all Lemongrab, all the time. You can decide for yourself if that’s totally gross or crazy seeyick. The Cool Kids aren’t of one mind on the subject. Give it a listen and choose a Lemonside. Continue reading Flooping The Pig – Episode 15: Unacceptable
Ben Phillips & Matt Waters present 25 of their favourite movies from a given decade, kicking things off with Volume 1: 2000 – 2009.
Matt hates three things: 1) Quentin Tarantino films. 2) War films. 3) Long films. So as you can imagine he’s having a great time this week, while Ben is as giddy as Hans Landa. Can this movie stuffed with phenomenal acting performances do anything to change Matt’s mind? Who cares? Let’s kill some Nazis! Continue reading There Will Be Movies – Episode 24: Inglorious Basterds
There have been a lot of posts and articles out there about the film that represents the end of the Skywalker Saga. And here’s the thing: they are all true! And then some!!
It is such a fucking shitty movie. You will laugh a lot at how shitty it is though, and laughter is good. Civilization will end in the next 50-60 years due to climate devastation. We need to be able to laugh! And this film will make you laugh.
So, you should assume that whenever this movie is playing, something bad is happening. That being said, there are a handful of moments in it that are in fact Actually Good. I will eventually splice them together and call it “The Actually Good Cut.” It will be about two minutes long.
SPOILERS ARE AHEAD BUT REALLY WHO CARES IT IS THAT BAD Continue reading These Are the Only 4 Good Things About The [extremely bad] Rise of Skywalker

The tradition lives on! This year Mike Thomas decided to “give the people what they want” by forcing Matt to continue his tradition of bringing Shane Black films to the table, this time: Iron Man 3. Then it’s time to travel all the way back to 1934 to discuss The Thin Man and for Matt to make it sound an awful lot like he’s never seen any films from pre-1960. ‘Happy Christmas’ Everybody!
