Gleaming the Cube

We've gleamed the cube. Have you gleamed the cube? We watch a pre-superstar Christian Slater (aka Christian Skater) flick called...Gleaming the Cube. It's a skating movie? It's a private detective movie? It's a multi-national anti-communisim, anti-Vietnam, but the bad guys are the anti-communists, but they're really bad, movie. Bad it was made in the 80s so we loved it!

Next movie: 12 Mighty Orphans

If your a fan of Arsenal FC, maybe you still want to. We talk Firth Fros, how dumb it is to be a sports fan, even though we still are, and the differences between UK versions of things and their US counterparts. Meaning we talk about this movie and the 2005 version and the UK Office and the US Office. And w...

Send us a textSean and Brad review the 1977 classic One on One. They talk about how weird the main character is, Sean impersonates Keanu Reeves in Speed, and they talk about how awkward writing this movie with your father might have been. Also, were red hot pokers a thing in the late 70s? Cause this movie hinges on one, and it's more than a little strange.Next episode: The original Fever Pitch from 1997Fever Pitch (UK) is streaming on Peacock, TUBI, Crackle, Plex, and Freevee.&nbs...

Against the Ropes

We talk about bad accents, bad photoshop, and the fact that the Pluto app we watched this on made the movie 30 minutes longer because of all the commercials.
