    257 - The Electric State (2025)

    “Our world is a tire fire floating on an ocean of piss.” It's our last episode of 2025 AND our first episode of 2026?! How can this be???

    REWIND 014 - Ghostbusters (2016)

    "You guys! This is exactly how I pictured my death!" Filmmaker Paul Feig has a new movie in theaters this week (The Housemaid), so we're rewinding ask the way back to November 2021 when we first discussed the director's work! We discuss the cast, the writing, and the politics! Their decisions to cater to the fanboys while also making fun of them! We attack both sides of the discourse surrounding this movie, Brett has trouble articulating points and your mileage may vary! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together...mass hysteria! If there's something strange in YOUR neighborhood, who are YOU going to call? Hopefully not us. You CAN find us on social media, though. Do that instead: @Disenfranchpod on Bluesky, Letterboxd, and YouTube. Email us your thoughts or requests to disenfranchpod@gmail.com Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

    256 - Silent Night (2012)

    “Don’t put avocado on the burger!” Christmas has come early this year with a new Silent Night, Deadly Night remake in theaters. In an effort to avoid discussing the film, we go deep on Season 51 of “Saturday Night Live,” plan an Eddie Murphy theme month, discuss Tucker’s controversial feelings on the subject of Malcolm McDowell, and weigh in on the Quentin Tarantino/Paul Dano controversy. Don’t miss this one! You better watch out, you better not cry… but it’ll be hard not to because we still exist on social media!

    REWIND 013 - Rampage (2018)

    “Hell of a day, huh? Science experiments falling from the sky.” With Five Nights at Freddy's 2 coming to theaters this weekend, we're rewinding back to March of 2021 to one of our very first theme months when we talked about a video game movie involving animals attacking people. In this ep, we take an extended trip to Brett's Video Game Corner, discuss The Rock's appeal as an action star, and breakdown Stephen's expectations when it comes to movies about giant monsters. Weirdos on the Internet follow us on social media. Join them, maybe? @Disenfranchpod on Bluesky, Letterboxd, and YouTube.

    255 - Freaked (1993)

    “Styrofoam cup…” Happy Thanksgiving! This year, we’re thankful for all of you AND early-’90s ephemera! To celebrate the release of this cult classic film on 4K, we’re talking about Keanu Reeves’s ‘90s filmography, that time Tucker met director/star Alex Winter, movies that share this movie’s vibe (for good or ill), and Tucker’s bathroom habits (we’re very, very sorry). Do we seem like weirdos? Better not answer until you see what we’re posting to social media these days: @Disenfranchpod on Bluesky, Letterboxd, and YouTube.

    254 - Return to Oz (1985)

    “Where did Kansas go?” With Wicked: For Good in theaters this weekend, we’re also returning to Oz with this mid-eighties Gen X/Millennial shared fever dream of a film! Join us as we discuss Orson Welles and The Brain, Tucker’s unspoken adoration of old-time radio and Mark Twain, and this film's failed attempts at capturing the magic of the 1939 classic!

    REWIND 012 - Total Recall (1990) w/ Phil Smith

    “You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory.” With a remake of the Schwarzenegger film The Running Man doing this weekend, we take you back to last year's Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo theme month, when we were joined by Stephen’s college roommate and all-around good guy Phil Smith to talk about Arnie’s last straight-up ‘80s action role! Along the way, we cast a Philip K. Dick biopic, espouse our shared love of practical effects, test Tucker’s good-bad dichotomy of Verhoeven films, discuss the best version of Blade Runner to watch, rate the scientific accuracy of this movie, and manage to squeeze in the briefest of Mighty Ducks deep dives! You aren’t gonna want to miss this one! When he’s not living the life of a symbiote on the belly of a freedom fighter, you can find Phil hanging out on the internet here: Check out Phil’s cosplay fits at @justsomenerdnamedphil on Instagram.

    253 - The Predator (2018)

    “It's like an alien Whoopi Goldberg.” With Predator: Badlands hitting theaters this weekend, we're talking about this (FUN!) Shane Black-directed franchise installment without a direct follow-up, as well as hot dog-based sketch comedy, our status as a Rosa Salazar stan podcast, and on-mic planning an Eli Roth theme month!
