Episode 63 - Space Jam

We're lacing up our newest pair of Air Jordans and dunking on a film we really ought to have done a long time, it's 1996's Space Jam!

We discuss director Joe Pytka's Wikipedia page and how he doesn't want people thinking he made this film, the flagrant-rule breaking that occurs during the big game (including people getting shot), the film's obviously padded out runtime, and how absolutely no one is surprised by the appearance of some of the world's most iconic cartoon characters.

Also Dan gets confused by Muggsy Bogues, and reveals an absolute stinker of a film for the next episode!

Episode 62 - Last Action Hero

On this installment, we're taking down the ultra-meta, kiddie-film-action-parody mess Last Action Hero! We get into the film's interminably slow pacing, its incongruous references to cop-killing, drug dealers and premature ejaculation, the complete waste of its central concept, and delve into the infamous bomb's troubled production, included a phantom test screening which may or may not have actually happened.

Also, we discuss how much better this film would be if it was just Charles Dance correcting everyone's grammar as well as his attempt to assemble a squad of famous movie villains; a late-in-the-film conceit that's woefully mishandled by the movie.
