    Binge Buddies: Hall of Just Us - BVS Ultimate Edition

    The red curtain is pulling back on episode two, and the Binge Buddies are bringing out the heavy artillery. > Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are plunging deep into the three-hour, R-rated cinematic crucible of Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But we aren't settling for the theatrical release—the guys are tackling the full 182-minute Ultimate Edition to see if the extra half-hour of footage truly redeems the film's controversial reputation. Join the crew as they dissect Lex Luthor's expanded puppet-master manipulations, Lois Lane's intricate Africa subplot, and the darker, fleshed-out motivations driving Henry Cavill's Clark Kent and Ben Affleck's brutal Bruce Wayne. We're breaking down every bat-brand and dramatic "Martha" moment, so grab your kryptonite spear and hit play!   intro and graphics by Jon Hardesty

    Binge Buddies Holiday Special Christas Carol

    Welcome to the Binge Buddies Holiday Special — where instead of watching one wholesome Christmas movie together like normal people, we each locked ourselves into separate Dickensian dimensions. Bryan Dressel went full heart and felt with The Muppet Christmas Carol, embracing Michael Caine’s Oscar-worthy seriousness opposite a frog and a rat. It’s warm. It’s musical. It’s probably the most emotionally stable choice anyone made. Matt “Zombie Dog” Dykes chose the razor-sharp sarcasm of the Blackadder Christmas Carol episode, because nothing says holiday cheer like British cynicism and a moral lesson that might actually make things worse. Joel Dewitte… selected the Jim Carrey motion-capture A Christmas Carol. Yes, that one. The uncanny valley rollercoaster where everyone looks like wax figures that escaped a haunted museum. Bold choice, Joel. Deeply concerning. We’ll unpack that. And Ryan Lootens rounded things out with Scrooged, where Bill Murray discovers the meaning of Christmas through corporate greed, explosions, and pure 80s chaos. Four Scrooges. Four vibes. One timeless story about a man who desperately needed therapy and instead got haunted into personal growth. The chains are clanking. The snow is falling. And someone please check on Joel. Let’s get festive.

    Off the ChainSaw Ep 10 Texas Chainsaw Massacre Wrapped

    Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw — the Season Finale. We’ve driven the dusty backroads. We’ve argued about timelines that make no earthly sense. We’ve watched the saw stall, reboot, go 3D, get sympathetic, and absolutely lose its mind. And now? It’s time to carve this franchise up for good. Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan are closing out the entire Texas Chainsaw saga the only way you can: rankings, arguments, and probably at least one friendship hanging by a thread. We’re counting down: The Top 5 Non-Murderer Characters — the poor souls who didn’t pick up the saw but somehow survived the chaos. The Best Quotes — from unhinged ramblings to lines that should’ve stayed in the script draft. The Best Kills — because subtlety left this franchise around 1986. The Best Killers — family members, wild cards, and the ones who made dinner deeply uncomfortable. And finally… we rank all nine films. Yes. All nine. No mercy. No nostalgia goggles. Just cold, hard chainsaw justice. This is the ultimate showdown. The definitive list. The final scream across the Texas plains. The door slams. The generator hums. The saw roars one last time. Welcome to the family. Let’s finish this.

    Off the ChainSaw Ep 9 Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. For our final episode, we’re diving into Texas Chainsaw Massacre — the Netflix legacy sequel that looked at fifty years of continuity and said, “Minimalism sounds nice.” Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan break down the return to Harlow, the influencer invasion of small-town Texas, and a Leatherface who somehow aged like a war veteran crossed with a Marvel villain. We’re talking gentrification themes, bus scene carnage, surprise legacy character returns, and that final shot that absolutely knew what it was doing. This entry swings for relevance, brutality, and shock value all at once. Is it a worthy modern update? A mean-spirited nostalgia trip? Or proof that some horrors just refuse to die, no matter how many timelines you reboot? One last pull of the cord. The saw sputters. The highway fades.

    Off the ChainSaw Ep 8 Leatherface

    Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. Episode 8 takes us to Leatherface — the prequel that said, “What if we rewound the clock again… but make it a road trip slasher with an identity crisis?” Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan unpack the film that tries to dig into Leatherface’s teenage years, swaps perspectives, and pulls a twist that basically dares you to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about the mask. It’s grimy. It’s violent. It’s oddly committed to being its own thing while still chained to legacy expectations. We get escaped patients, desert chaos, and a version of the origin story that feels like it came from a different franchise that wandered onto the wrong set. Is it bold? Is it unnecessary? Is it secretly better than people admit when they’re not yelling about continuity? One more rev of the engine. We’re almost at the end of this blood-soaked highway.

    Off the ChainSaw Ep 7 Texas Chainsaw 3D

    Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. Episode 7 drops us into Texas Chainsaw 3D — the sequel that boldly ignores most of the franchise, picks up after the 1974 original, and asks the timeless question: what if Leatherface… had property rights? Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan break down the legacy sequel that brought the family back, handed out some baffling timeline math, and delivered one of the most infamous lines in horror history: “Do your thing, cuz.” Yes. That happened. In a movie. In theaters. On purpose. We’re talking surprise inheritances, carnival-set chaos, wildly confused character motivations, and the strange attempt to turn a chainsaw-wielding cannibal into something almost resembling an anti-hero. Is it misunderstood fun? Is it tonal whiplash in 3D glasses? Is it a meme that accidentally became a movie? Grab your chainsaw. And maybe a calculator for the timeline. Cuz… it’s time.

    Off the ChainSaw Ep 6 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

    Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. Episode 6 takes us to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) — because if there’s one thing Hollywood believes in, it’s explaining absolutely everything. Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan dig into the prequel nobody technically asked for, but we all watched anyway. This is where the remake timeline goes full grim-dark: more brutality, more backstory, more suffering per minute than seems medically advisable. We get the origin of Leatherface, the family’s recruitment strategy, and a tone so relentlessly bleak it practically dares you to feel hope. Is it a worthy expansion of the remake’s world? Or just misery with a production budget? Same road. Same family. Even worse odds. The saw’s still running. And apparently, so are we.
