Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #17
Posted Feb 21 2012 by Michael A. Novelli

Mr. Mendo teams up with the Film Renegado, master of Mexican cinema, to review Atlético San Pancho, AKA Never Too Young to Dream, a Bad News Bears-style tribute to peewee soccer.

Twilight (2008)
Red Suitcase Adventures Episode #4
Posted Feb 19 2012 by Sofie Liv

Sofie revisits the movie that started a billion-dollar sparkly vampire franchise, 2008’s Twilight! Join her as she relives those first magical moments when codependency true love blossomed between Edward and Bella!

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Stuff You Like Episode #1
Posted Feb 16 2012 by Sursum Ursa

It’s the first episode of Stuff You Like, where redheaded fangirl Sursum Ursa waxes enthusiastic about movies, TV shows, and anything else that comes to mind!

She kicks things off with Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Ursa really, really loves this film. Seriously. It’s quite sweet. Join her for songs, sarcasm, recurring motifs and character development. Belle meets Beast. Story arc ensues.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
Terror Obscura Episode #11
Posted Feb 6 2012 by Fear Fan

Join the Fear Fan as he takes on Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, the sixth entry in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Although it's been smooth sailing so far, with five good-to-decent entries, things are about to get much, much worse for the Fear Fan as he enters a world of terrible humor, bad acting, Roseanne and Tom Arnold cameos, cartoon sound effects, and a retcon so awful that it could disrupt the very fabric of the space time continuum!

Batman Returns (1992)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #15
Posted Dec 26 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

Join Mr. Mendo and special guest Sofie Liv as they take on Tim Burton’s Batman Returns! The two Joel Schumacher-directed Batman films have been thoroughly dissected on this website, but is it possible that Tim Burton’s entries in the franchise were just as silly and nonsensical? Mendo and Sofie find out!

The Golden Compass (2007)
The Movie Skewer Episode #4
Posted Jan 22 2012 by Ryan Lohner

Ryan hosts another episode of the Movie Skewer to look at The Golden Compass, based on a novel near and dear to him. New Line scrubbed away the book’s anti-Christian themes when they adapted it into a movie, along with all traces of anything dark or disturbing. Watch as Ryan examines the end result: a bland movie-by-committee where nothing is at stake.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #9
Posted Feb 2 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Despite the title, this isn't just a goofy romp with guys in clown costumes. An incredible amount of detail was put into this movie, from the amazing Klown makeup to a lot of little touches that only add to the film's cleverness. And above all, the way they played this insane concept completely straight makes this one to watch.

Catwoman (2004)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #8
Posted Jan 11 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Cecil looks at Catwoman, starring Halle Berry as a cosmetics company employee who undergoes basically the same origin as Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns and becomes a superhero! Many consider this to be a strong contender for worst comic book movie ever made, but in this episode, Cecil explains why he genuinely loves Catwoman.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
The Movie Skewer Episode #3
Posted Nov 15 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

Michael A. Novelli steps up to host the Movie Skewer and take over our coverage of the Twilight Saga: the continuing misadventures of a vacant, passive high school girl, the creepy vampire who controls her, and the werewolf/rapist-in-training who comes between them! In the third installment, Bella and Edward are engaged, which pisses off Jacob, while Victoria organizes an army of “newborn” vampires to kill Bella and get revenge on Edward. So yeah, pretty much the same plot as New Moon, only this time they pay Bryce Dallas Howard to stand around and do nothing.”

Death Proof (2007)
Posted Jan 16 2012 by Ed Harris

“I should note that we’re about thirty minutes in right now, and so far three women have gone to a bar, and another one has met Kurt Russell.”

The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #16
Posted Jan 7 2012 by Michael A. Novelli

In this episode, Mr. Mendo goes to where few reviewers have gone and lived to tell about it, taking on The Beast of Yucca Flats, also known by its alternate title, Holy God, When Will It End?!? Unlike the other two films directed by Coleman Francis, this one’s got a sci-fi angle, where wrestler Tor Johnson survives an A-bomb test and becomes a mutant killer. But never fear, because it still has all the pointlessness and incompetence you've come to know and love from ol’ Coleman!

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #11
Posted Sep 22 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

“Michael Cera plays a 20 something slacker (shocker!) living in Toronto, who falls in love with a girl with seven evil exes, among them Superman and Captain America. Scott has to do battle with each ex in a series of Nintendo-inspired fight scenes, while writer-director Edgar Wright shamelessly attempts to create a new cult classic by stuffing in the maximum amount of video game in-jokes possible.”

Antichrist (2009)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #14
Posted Nov 30 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

“Chaos reigns as Mr. Mendo takes on Lars Von Trier's Antichrist, with the help of a very special guest, the Lecher Bitch herself, Diamanda Hagan! Watch as a grieving couple retreats to their cabin in the woods, in the movie that shocked Cannes with graphic depictions of genital mutilation, hardcore sex, talking foxes, and naked Willem Dafoe!”

Donnie Darko (2001)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #13
Posted Oct 22 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

“Mr. Mendo is back to take on yet another overrated indie film: Donnie Darko, the needlessly obtuse story of a schizophrenic boy, the 6-foot rabbit that visits him in the night, and the jet engine that falls on him. Also, there’s some stuff in here about time travel and the end of the world. And Patrick Swayze is a child molesting motivational speaker. This synopsis makes more sense than the movie.”

Tangled (2010)
Red Suitcase Adventures Episode #1
Posted Dec 5 2011 by Sofie Liv

It’s the debut of Red Suitcase Adventures, where your host Sofie Liv explores both the good and bad in popular films!

In the first episode, Sofie digs into the global phenomenon that is Disney, and looks at their recent attempts to get back to basics by releasing new old-school material, the latest of which is the 2010 fairy tale story Tangled.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Posted Dec 7 2011 by The Wily Badger

“The only way I can explain the following scenes is that someone sat back and thought to themselves, ‘You know what this film is missing, aside from a coherent plot, convincing threat, steady tone and Megatron? Dick jokes and gay jokes. That’s what we need!’”

Delgo (2008)
The Movie Skewer Episode #2
Posted Oct 7 2011 by Ryan Lohner

Delgo is the trite tale of two species battling for control of their generic fantasyland and the star-crossed lovers (voiced by Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt) caught in the middle, featuring cheap CGI, endless clichés, and terrible comic relief courtesy of an exceptionally irritating Chris Kattan. If you missed this one in theaters (and odds are very, very good that you did), here’s your chance to find out if it’s as bad as its domestic gross suggests!”

Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (2011)
The Following Special Presentation Episode #5
Posted Nov 5 2011 by Stan Ferguson

“‘80s pop princesses Debbie Gibson and Tiffany are down in the ‘Everglades’, trying to out-bitch each other by creating giant pythons and alligators. Eventually, the two middle-aged teen queens put their differences aside to save Miami from a reptile apocalypse, in this amazing sci-fi-horror-action comedy that manages to completely fail in four genres at once!”

Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS / Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #12
Posted Sep 30 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

“Starting things off is 1975’s Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, an entry in the inexplicably popular Nazi exploitation genre. Ilsa, commandant of a POW camp, conducts gruesome experiments on women to prove their superiority to men, while castrating the men who can’t keep up with her in the sack. At the top of the bill is Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, also from 1975, the lighthearted tale of Italian fascists who kidnap a group of teenage boys and girls and degrade them for—you guessed it—120 days.”

Never Say Never Again (1983)
Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack Episode #8
Posted Jul 26 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

“Mr. Mendo once again explores the world of subpar James Bond films with Never Say Never Again, featuring Sean Connery returning to the role of 007 after a 12 year absence. In the movie, Blofeld threatens to detonate two stolen nuclear warheads unless SPECTRE’s demands are met, which eventually leads to a massive underwater battle. And if that synopsis sounds familiar, it’s because Never Say Never Again was legally required to have the exact same plot as Thunderball.”

The Last Airbender (2010)
Posted Feb 3 2011 by Ryan Lohner

“The worst M. Night Shyamalan movie yet. And damn, is that saying something.”

Santa with Muscles (1996)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #7
Posted Dec 20 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

It’s an Agony Booth Christmas Special as Cecil watches Santa with Muscles, starring Hulk Hogan playing against type as a rich buffoon, who falls down a trash chute and starts believing he's Santa Claus. He decides to help out some hapless orphans (among them, Mila Kunis) in danger of having their home demolished by evil germophobe Ed Begley, Jr. A mainstay of the IMDb’s Bottom 100 list for over a decade, is it possible Cecil enjoyed this one? Watch and find out!
