For the bonus this week, we watch Hugh Grant play a crazy person in the movie Heretic!

Halloween is almost here, and we're celebrating by settling in and watching some kids get chased through cornfields and barns in the classic tradition! Check out this week's episode on Clown in a Cornfield!

Holy moley, it's a horror/romance/comedy that actually works! Take notes, future directors of such attempts, this is how it's done! Listen in as we watch the criminally under-appreciated Heart Eyes!

Does it count of a horror movie if the scariest part is the runtime? That's what we have to take on this week as we deal with the worst haunted doll movie we've ever seen, M3gan 2.0!

This week, we watched Final Destination: Bloodlines, a movie that really makes you reconsider the heroes in your family tree. Does this movie rule, or did we find that it fits in the mold of all the other bloodlines movies? Listen in and find out!

It's been 28 years since the events of 28 DAYS later and now we get a look at what life is like inside the quarantine. How do people survive? What traditions has society kept? Are there weirdly dressed circus ninjas? All this and more in this week's episode!

The ghouls and goblins grow closer, and that means it's all horror all month long! Today we bring you the Monkey, a movie that made us ask the question "Why do we keep getting terrible Stephen King adaptations?"

Hey wasters! We have our big Awards show at the end of the month, and in the meantime, we're releasing (or re-releasing) some unheard and classic episodes. This week, return with us to the magical travesty of Gasoline Alley!

Wasters, I (Greg) completely forgot that yesterday was Monday. So here's the monday misc episode, but on Tuesday!

Welcome to Friday, wastelanders! Today, we have a special movie for ya. Aloha is both allegedly a rom com and also a wannabe thriller. Can Cameron Crowe pull both off? Was this the start of a new genre of movie? Do Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper take pride in being part of this production? No. Listen in and find out why!

We're talking more conjuring, more pirates, more Super Troopers, and more! I guess this episode is techincally a sequel, but we don't serialize so take that, pedants!

This week, we're looking at a low budget "erotic" thriller that has absolutely no thrill and pretty much no erotic to it! That's right, it's The Boy Next Door!

Howdy wasters! We kept it short and sweet this week, enjoy!

Welcome to the end of week, and the end of our patience with these bad movies! The Ridiculous 6 was immediately controversial upon release, and immediately got labeled "one of the unfunniest movies" of all time. Listen in as we see what we can make of this "comedy" from the famed Happy Madison productions.

Hey wasters! This week, Ringo becomes his Batman villain, Dr Migraine, we talk about Rocky Horror turning 50, we learn that there's even more Hamilton on the way, and more!

We're back this week after a technical difficulty rendered last week's episode unusable, and boy what a doozy we have for you now.

Listen in as we try to make it through the dozens of twists and turns that were wildy unnecessary in this week's episode!

Welcome back Wastelanders! Sorry about not having a Friday episode, technical difficulties and all that jazz. For today's episode, we're talking about our favorite topic: Sequels! That's right, we've got Focker in Law, we've got Zootopia 2, Happy Gilmore 2, and more!

This week, Ringo is a doctor with a problem, Vulture tells us to let Fantasia be our babysitter, and we learn that Netscape still exists somehow. All that and more in this week's Monday Misc!

It's Friday, which means it's time to be discovered! This week we watched Jem and the Holograms, a movie that we can't believe is from the director of Crazy Rich Asians and Wicked. Find out if we buy the rags to riches story that they made this movie into and if we're excited for the sequel!

Welcome to the week! Today, Dr Ringo tells us what's woke and what isn't (Spoilers, nothing isn't), Ryan Gosling has a new project, Eminem has a documentary called Stan coming to theaters, and the Zelda movie's main cast is announced, and more!

This week we watch a dark "comedy" where we found ourselves waiting for both the dark and the comedy. Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl "star" in this woeful misfire of a movie about an unfaithful man and his murderous wife! Check out this week's episode of Streaming Wasteland!

This week, we accidentally dive into a discussion of overrated movies, we try to figure out what a Doctor of Fear even is, and more!

It's Friday again, which means it's time for some Streaming Wasteland! This week, we're watching 2015's Hot Pursuit, a movie that asked the question, "How much humor can we milk out of police codes?" Find out exactly how much in this week's episode of Streaming Wasteland!

Not a lot to celebrate here on the 4th, but if you're looking for a movie that has one legit funny scene and then some weird bachelor party dog stuff, you can listen to this week's episode! The Wedding Ringer is definitely a movie that was filmed! Join as we talk about whether or not this was worth watching, if it was as bad as Pixels, and whether or not any of the other cast was someone we recognized from one-off roles on other shows!

It's the end of June, and this week we're talking about an article, linked below! We also talk some about whether or not F1 counts as an original movie, if we're gonna see 28 years later, and more!

How Not to be UnFunny:
https://hownot.substack.com/p/how-not-to-be-unfunny

This week, we took on Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension, a movie that challenges the viewer with questions like "What is going on," and "how long can you watch this before you're just bored?" Find out where our limit was in this week's episode of Streaming Wasteland!

Another glorious week in the wasteland! This week, we talk about How To Train Your Dragon, Cinnabon having merch, whether or not we'd even heard of Elio before this weekend, and more!

This week, it's Adam Sandler's last non-netflix movie, featuring Peter Dinklage doing an accent that no one understands and Josh Gad apparently wanting to do something that wasn't Olaf. What did we think of this cinematic disaster? Tune in and find out!

Welcome to the week, folks! We're talking about Ringo's doctorate in seltzers, we discuss the upcoming Star Wars movie that has no tie-ins to the Skywalkers, another Christmas Carol is on the way, some How to Train Your Dragon talk, and more! Listen along and let us know your thoughts!

What can you say about a movie where the jokes were dated for the time and the premise just wasn't that good? A whole lot, apparently! Join us this week as we look at the rightfully forgotten Mortdecai, starring Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow as unlikeable rich people!

We made it to monday! This week we're talking about Stargate and how amazon might finally convince us to split an MGM+ subscription, we talk about A24's upcoming Masque of the Red Death, and we touch on the tastelessness of a Unabomber series coming from Netflix!

It should be a crime to call a movie this boring "Passions." This week it's a walk through the lowest rated movie on Metacritic, 2015's United Passions, a sports movie about executives but not good like Moneyball.

Hey wastelanders! This week we're talking about how George RR Martin has agreed to do every project under the sun except finish the one that made him famous, we discuss whether or not Galactus is "evil" and we talk about some Lilo and Stitch potential spoilers!

Wasters, it's time to ascend, like Jupiter. If you like Astrology, world-building, and jokes about the DMV, this movie is for you! Also, Eddie Redmayne does a silly voice and Channing Tatum wears weird ears.

Happy Holiday for you American wasterlanders! This week, we're talking Lilo and Stitch, Final Destination Bloodlines, and so much more!

This week, we find ourselves pondering if we need to build a playroom, whether or not the way Ana wraps rope is remarkable, thinking about toast, and exactly how boring an intimate scene can be as we take on 50 Shade of Grey!

It was bound to happen, pun intended. We finally had to watch 50 Shades in this bunker of ours. So this week, we do a little prep work for the Friday episode. Also, Tom Cruise's standing O, and another Hunger Games is on the way!

We have entered into the "Worst of 2015" phase with a bang! Fant4stic is a movie that really had no chance to succeed, and tried anyway. How do we think it did? Find out this week!

We made it to another monday! This week, Ringo and I are talking about some upcoming movies that we think at least a few people will be excited for, some upcoming movies that no one is excited for, and we set the stage for our worst of 2015 expedition! Give us a listen and let us know what movies you're excited for in the comments!

We're wrapping up the best of 2015 with a movie that honestly should have gotten a best picture and best actor nod- Creed! It's the best Rocky since Rocky and somehow might have been better without Rocky! Listen to hear us try to do a Stallone impression, misremember the expendables, and more!

Hey wasters! Another glorious day in cinema news is upon us! This week we talk about Dogma re-releasing in theaters, we wonder about Thunderbolts, we touch on Hitchcock coming to Netflix, and more!

Holy plot armor, Wasters! This week we're finding out WAY more than we ever cared to know about Ethan Hunt and we talk about how being the "living manifestation of destiny" isn't exactly the flex they think. Listen to Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation on this week's Streaming Wasteland!

Looks like Sinners has cleaned up two weeks in a row! Also, we talk about the appropriate things to put on eggs, and how we go about evaluating a blockbuster vs a movie that's actually about something.

It's Tarantino time! This week we're looking at the Hateful Eight, a movie that lives up to its name! Will we find ourselves wrapped up in the story, or will this movie end up leaving us in the cold? Only one way to find out!

We made it another week, folks! Check out this monday's discussion in which we discuss Chris Colombus talking trump in Home Alone 2, people who called the vaccine the Fauci Ouchie, and more!

This week we're taking on Bridge of Spies, a movie about Tom Hanks playing Tom Hanks. There's a strong first half, a weak second half, and all the usual spielbergian stuff throughout! Listen along if you're like us and can't figure out how this got nominated for Best Picture

We can't believe that minecraft killed it at the box office, and just weeks after we dumped all over Jack Black. So join us this week to see what takes will come back to haunt us in the future!

Folks, it's back to the 1950s, it's back to New York, and it's still in 2015! This week we're looking at Brooklyn, a beautifully shot but ultimately empty-feeling movie about a young woman torn between the life she knew and the life she wants.

Another monday, another grab bag! We're talking Val, we're talking Arnold, etc etc. Listen in and let us know your thoughts!

Join us this week as we take on 2015's the Big Short, a movie that is somehow not very good but also absolutely infuriating. Also, we try to keep things mostly to the movies and movie adjacent things, but this week, we had to talk politics, and even though we recorded this a week ago, it feels VERY relevant to what's happening today

It's just sequels and reboots all the way down, folks. Join us as we talk about Passions 2, Coco 2, and the return of the Avengers!

We're back, continuing our romp through the movies deemed the best of ten years ago! This week, we're looking at Room, a movie that is so damn depressing and uplifting at the same time. Trigger warnings in full effect here, there is basically no scene that doesn't deal with trauma.

Hey folks, this monday we're talking about some Anime, we're talking about Jack Black, and we're discussing whether or not we NEED more comedies. Listen in!

Much like the Revenant, we just keep on going! Unlike the Revenant, none of our episodes are two and a half hours long! It's our 100th episode and what better way to celebrate than with a western?

Welcome back to the Monday grab bag! Today we're talking about the new Netflix flop Electric State, Greta Gerwig helming a Narnia project for Netflix, and the fate of Black Widow as told by ScarJo. All that and more in this week's misc movies!

Ooooof this week was a tense one! We had a whole seat for Sicario, but we only needed the edge! But does it hold up with the rest of 2015's best? Listen in and find out!

For your consideration, we discuss Oscar bait. Please nominate us for an award.

It's time for a space adventure! This week, we checked out 2015's the Martian, from one of our favorites, Ridley Scott. We talk about whether or not we could survive on Mars, if we actually liked Matt Damon, and which one IS Matt Damon. All that and more in this week's episode of Streaming Wasteland!

Hey wasters! We never alter our recording schedule so this was pre-taped before the Oscars. Congratulations to (insert winners here). All that and more in this week's episode!

This week, we're taking a look at Carol, a love story starring Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett! This is a movie filled with longing and desire, and you'll have to listen in to find out if we got swept up in the current or found ourselves yearning for the credits.

This week, we discuss whether or not Streaming Wasteland is the only podcast available in your afterlife of choice, Dave Bautista's new movie, and the ongoing woes of the MCU as it relates to Brave New World!

This week we're watching Spotlight, the best picture winner from 2015. Trigger warning for this entire episode- if you don't know, Spotlight is about the uncovering of the massive Catholic Church Abuse Scandal and as such, the movie deals with a lot of specifics as well as all the various trauma that comes with it. If this is something you don't need in your life today, we understand, please catch us next week!

It slipped our mind that the holiday was on a Monday, so enjoy our Monday mix today! We're talking about the upcoming Green Day road trip movie, a new MTG franchise, and more!

Yeah, it's time to talk Star Wars. The highest grossing movie of 2015, and maybe the last time we all collectively had... A New Hope for the franchise. We'll be here all week, folks!

This Monday, it's all about Star Wars because this Friday, we're watching The Force Awakens! We also talk about how they're adapting The Pina Colada Song into a movie and for why are they doing this, the new Jurassic trailer, new De Niro movie coming, and more!

This week, we take a look at one of 2015's greatest films and ask ourselves, "Does it deserver to be remembered so highly? What happened with the Furiousa movie? And will you witness me?" Join us as we rediscover George Miller's Mad Max Fury Road.

Hey folks, little bit of a change-up in our process. We'll be releasing full episodes on Friday, and some general movie talk on Monday. So join us this week as we talk about the sheer amount of unecessary sequels and remakes coming this year, whether or not someone should remake Rebel Moon, and more!

Ridley Scott didn't put any xenomorphs in this one, and honestly... woulda KINDA made it better. Listen to us dissect the conflicting narratives in The Last Duel and lament the lack of Ripley in this week's episode!

Did you know there's a movie where Anne Heche and Sandra Oh fistfight? Neither did we! Listen to us take on this movie that no one saw and no one should!

This week, it's the Mid90s again, as told by Jonah Hill, I guess. As someone who grew up in the mid90s, I can firmly say that my life was NOT like this, but it's a fine movie, with one VERY questionable scene.

This week, we're watching The Last Thing He Wanted, which is also, fittingly, the last thing WE wanted. Come listen as we go over a forgotten thriller that probably should have remained buried in the wastes instead of polluting our tastes. Wow, we're poets and we didn't even realize that we'd rhymed!

Gonna be honest, we didn't have high hopes for this one, but it ended up surprising us! Horror comedies are a tough sell, but this one landed and ended up on our "don't burn for fuel" shelf in the bunker!

This week, we couldn't decide what topic to cover, so we did a grab bag of a bunch of christmas topics. Listen to us wish for a certain politician to end up in Santa's Sack, discuss which Home Alone is better, talk about the merits of Elf, and more!

Cosmic Sin absolutely needs to go to confession for being this bad.

This week, we took on X! Not the app, but the movie, starring Mia Goth! Listen in as we talk about the late DMX, what we think of this movie, and make silly jokes!

They said it was unfilmable, they said it couldn't be done, but it was! Now was it worth it? Let's find out together! TW for this episode for child abuse and mutilation, there's absolutely no way around it.

We don't know why people aren't talking about this movie! What a great film! Listen in as we recap this hidden gem in this week's episode of Streaming Wasteland!

Have you heard of this thing called D&D? I guess it's a board game of some kind? I dunno, the movie was fun though!

Returning to our roots a little, here's a movie that stastically no one saw, no one heard about, and we can barely remember. Will Dallas ever find his father? Will Joe ever walk away? Will Greg and Ringo ever care? Find out in this week's installment of Streaming Wasteland!

Wrapping up the Alien Saga and October's Horror of Horrors Spooktacular, it's Alien Romulus! And what a movie to end on- the latest offering in the franchise totally rules. Does it rule enough to get a perfect score from us? Can it land that coveted 6 out of 9? Will we ever think that joke is not funny? Tune in and find out!

We're here with the final episode of season 1! Will Sydney and Marcus return? Will Carmy get the stick out of his ass? Will Richie finally learn to love? All this and more in this weeks episode!

The long-awaited follow up to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant asks us questions like, "What if Alien movies were about anything but Aliens" and "Why does Ridley Scott hate AI?" Listen in as we attempt to answer these questions AND MORE!

That's right, we're still in space, no one can hear us, and we're learning about the origins of the Xenomorphs and potentially all intelligent life in the galaxy with Prometheus! Listen in as we try to figure out why people don't run sideways, what it means if Ancient Aliens are real, and whether or not anyone actually wanted this movie!

Holy crap what an episode! Come listen to us react to Sydney's very bad day, Carmy's even worse reaction, and Richie getting not-so-mortally wounded!

Ripley's last ride is here, and it's actually better than we remember! Listen to us talk about how some good direction took a movie that could have been a stinker and turned it into something remarkably passable.

Hooooo boy. This is the one the Alien Franchise never really recovered from. Listen to us talk about the development hell of this movie, potential other versions, rejected scripts, bad acting, unnecessary scenes, and more! Also, we talk about the top 10 halloween candies.

Another Friday, another watch of the Bear! This week, Richie finds himself lost, the restaurant experiences a scary event, and Carmy gives Sydney the WORST feedback. Don't forget to like and subscribe! Leave a comment with your worst feedback from a boss, superior, friend, etc.

This time we're taking a look at the best, most-frustratingly named Alien movie, Aliens! Althought we all know it's Alien 2. Either way, it's a masterpiece from James Cameron and our chests are bursting with love (and xenomorphs) for this film.

This week, in the spirit of spookyness, we're looking at Alien, Ridley Scott's classic from 1979! We're big fans, and we miss this kind of monster space horror, and we wonder if anyone has actually done it well since! Listen along as we take a frightful trip down memory lane.

We're back again with some more Bear! This week we talk about Tina's redemption arc, Sydney holding service outside, and Richie being, well, Richie. Watch with us and leave a comment with your thoughts

Sometimes, we venture out on our own, away from the darkness of the Wasteland and into the brightness of the New Arrival Oasis. Tonight, Greg takes a look at 2024's 'Salem's Lot, new on HBO, to find out whether this truly is a place of respite or just another mirage.

Getting in that spooky mood! This week, we found a real head-scratcher in the wasteland in Cam, a movie that seems to basically be about nudity, but also kinda tries to make a point about AI? We're not really sure, and somehow, a movie about cam girls was also kind of boring? Tune in and find out our overall take on 2018's Cam!

Hey there Wastelanders! We're back at it with Season 1, Episode 4 of the Bear! This is the funniest episode yet, and we'll tell you why! Listen along, or watch along, and let us know what YOU think.

What if you had a phone that was possessed by a dead old billionaire who liked you because you could read good? The billionaire could kill people and stuff. Sounds like it would be kind of cool, right? Unfortunately, not so much. This is Mr Harrigan's Phone.

We're back again this week with another look inside the Original Beef, aka The Bear. This week- is Tina actually the worst? Is Carmy a bad boss? Can Sydney get even more relatable? Watch along and find out!

This week, we're getting ramped up for Spooky Season with 2023's Consecration! Have you ever wondered if possession can be boring? Did you ever think that even the beauty of Scotland can seem dull in some movies? If so, this is the film for you!
