    Freaked(1993) | Episode 136-This Podcast Takes Tokens

    A listener dared us to watch Freaked, the 1993 fever dream directed by and starring Alex Winter. We dove into this $11 million box office disaster—which pulled in a staggering $6,957 opening weekend—to see if the practical effects don by masters in the craft, can save this movie. It’s a bizarre ride involving toxic fertilizer, mutant freaks, Randy Quaid putting on a masterclass in unhinged villainy, and Keanu Reeves buried beneath a dog character and prosthetics. We debate the jarring MTV-era sketch show pacing, Mr. T as the bearded lady finding true comfort with himself, and whether this ultra-violent script turned teen comedy was undercooked or entirely overworked. It’s safe to say our ratings for this one are aggressively mixed.  Love quoting old movies?

    Top 5 One Hit Wonders | Episode 135-This Podcast Takes Tokens

    We are digging into the musical vault to argue about the greatest earworms that struck gold exactly once and then vanished. You know the ones—the tracks that dominated the city pool speakers, the movie soundtracks, and those terrible mixtapes we all made. We are breaking down our Top Five One-Hit Wonders, join us as we defend our questionable taste. Prepare to have at least three of these stuck in your head for the rest of the week.

    Road Trip(2000) | Episode 134-This Podcast Takes Tokens

    We packed up the Taurus and hit the road back to the Y2K raunch-fest that is Road Trip. We’re looking back at Todd Phillips’ directorial debut and realizing that while the Andy Dick motel clerk scene is still comedy gold, a lot of the shock humor hits differently as we circle 40. We break down peak Tom Green energy, the bizarre fact that DJ Qualls was a Prada model, and the baffling choices made by the characters—like trying to jump a ravine in a 92’ Ford Taurus. It’s a nostalgic ride through early 2000s teen comedies, complete with an alternate universe where Crispin Glover somehow creeped Amy Smart out, instead of Anthony Rapp. Love quoting old movies?

    Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) | Episode 133-This Podcast Takes Tokens

    We hopped into the phone booth to see if 1989's Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure still holds up, or if it should be left to the sands of time. Turns out, a utopian future built entirely on the music of Wyld Stallyns is still a journey worth taking, even if the time travel mechanics make absolutely zero sense when you actually stop to think about them. We break down the bizarre reality of George Carlin playing it totally straight as Rufus, the undeniable cringe of Bill's dad marrying a girl half his age, and the chaotic alternate reality where Pauly Shore played Ted and Sean Penn played Bill.

    Ferris Bueller’s Day Off(1986) | Episode 132-This Podcast Takes Tokens

    Before we go back to school, we’re taking a sick day to dig into the 1986 John Hughes classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. You know the drill: twisting, shouting, and actively destroying a 1961 Ferrari. We break down exactly how Ferris managed to hack the high school system with god-level confidence, debate the ultimate 80s logic hole of why Jeanie gets a car while Ferris only gets a home computer, and marvel at Mr. Rooney's absolute dedication to being the pettiest man in Chicago. We look at the alternate reality where Jim Carrey or Tom Cruise played Ferris—thankfully, we dodged that timeline. Does this movie hold up to our weekend cable TV memories? Love quoting old movies?

    Aliens(1986) | Episode 131-This Podcast Takes Tokens

    We are jumping back to 1986 to talk about James Cameron's Aliens, because sometimes one Xenomorph just isn't enough. Ryan has watched this movie deep into the double digits and loves the retro-futuristic world-building, while Deric is just here to appreciate the sheer terror of an action-thriller on rails. We break down the incredible practical effects, the claustrophobic dread of Bishop crawling through that tiny pipe (I can’t even think about it *shiver*), and why the real villain of the movie isn't the Alien Queen, but Weyland-Yutani's corporate greed. From the legendary Bill Paxton to Sigourney Weaver fighting a massive alien queen in a mechanical loader, we are covering all the reasons this sequel holds up perfectly today.

    Batman (1989) | Episode 130-This Podcast Takes Tokens (Vigilantes & VHS Summer 10 of 10)

    We’re officially wrapping up our 10-episode Vigilantes & VHS Summer series, and we’re going out with the heavy hitter that changed the superhero game—Batman (1989). We’re diving into the chaotic, gothic architecture of Tim Burton’s Gotham to argue whether Michael Keaton’s stiff-necked Batsuit is actually cool or just a massive nightmare (literally!), and we’re split on whether Jack Nicholson’s Joker is a legitimate menace or just a manic art major. We question Michael Gough’s overly fatherly Alfred and him making some highly questionable security decisions regarding the Batcave. We can’t skip over the dirty trick one studio pulled on Robin Williams to get Nicholson cast, and Prince’s legendary soundtrack. Did this movie age perfectly, or does it crack under the weight of modern Batman expectations? Let us know your thoughts. Love quoting old movies?

    Spider-Man 2 | Episode 129-This Podcast Takes Tokens(Vigilantes & VHS Summer 9 of 10)

    We're swinging back into the Raimi-verse to tackle what might just be the pinnacle of superhero cinema—or at least the one with the most aggressive amount of unprovoked screaming. Spider-Man 2 is on the docket for our Vigilantes and VHS summer series, and we are breaking down everything from Doc Ock's surprisingly sentient (and meticulously named) robot arms to Peter Parker's unnecessary dedication to channeling his inner Clark Kent dork mask even when he's already hiding behind an actual mask. We marvel at the incredible practical effects, throw shade on the wooden CGI, question the physics of swinging from mid-air cranes, and call out Aunt May for casually swindling neighborhood kids. It's a miracle Harry Osborn has time to run a multinational corporation in between his cartoonish temper tantrums, but we still love every chaotic minute of this 2004 masterpiece. Grab a 30-minute-or-less pizza—just don't steal it from the delivery guy—and let's get into it. Love quoting old movies? Join the conversation LIVE every Thursday on YouTube!
