    Scary Movie '26

    The boys are back and this time Ronnie, Shane, and Hobo Dan talk about the scariest thing: the death of comedy films. We spend most our tike reminiscing about old comedic films and complaining about new unfunny movies. Do we know what we are talking about? Nopez but we talk it for 3 and a half hours. Seriously. I am an unpaid editor. I guess beer is payment but its not worth the countless hours of listening through this audio and replacing cancelable words with Scary Movie audio. This premise is f***ed because only one of them watched Scary Movie 6. Clickbait for a movie that came and went.

    The Wolf Man '41

    Oh no, we did it again! From the Library is sticking around for a second helping of randomness. Hobo Dan joins Ronnie to talk about 1941's The Wolf Man! A guy directed it but no one knows his name. These idiots also watch hours of bonus features. Boring. Its in black and white and has zero gore and boobs. Awful. Shane wrote this description.

    Dragonheart '96

    Wasted Potential Podcast is back with a fiery commentary track for 1996's Dragon Heart! Oh boy its a rambling one in which we discuss some film facts, give our awful opinions, but mostly discuss other more interesting movies. We play some trivia games like Shot or Not, Creature or Feature (???), and Quaid or Costner. Side note: if anyone has a functioning taint and wants to offer it for a transplant, reach out to Hobo Dan at podcastwastedpotential@gmail.com. Thanks! Hobo Dan's Dragonheart synopsis: Our knight and shining armor…the man with a plan…the man who is gonna save us from Pokémon. Martin Lawrence with a jets jersey on. Ohhh no wait…it’s just Dennis quaid is the knight or some shit I think. I’m assuming there is gonna be time travel or he goes back in time and befriends a dragon and some religious aspect to it comes into play. The movie is called dragonheart or dragon slayer. I hope they play a slayer song in this movie that would be sweet. Sean Connor is the guy that’s anti dragons and Dennis quaid tries to save the dragon. But it’s maybe Dennis quaid may want to f**k the dragon at the end maybe he falls in love with him. Oh no maybe his love becomes a dragon and then f***s it. That would be the best movie ever okay let’s do that. You will believe in f*****g dragons. A movie before it’s time! 0:00 - Advertisements 3:05 - Introductions 6:24 - Games 12:37 - Dragon Heart 1:54:32 - Recommendations & Outro 1:59:29 - Outtakes This week we are sponsored by Fire Breathing Starter Pack and No More Jock Straps Pills.

    Rear Window '54

    Welcome to a new gimmick from Wasted Potential Podcast: From the Library! In this new concept made to torture our obnoxious podcasting pals, Ronnie and Shane randomly selected to watch the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic Rear Window. The boys drunkenly discuss the film and some behind the scenes featurettes. Both informative and annoying, this episode dangles on the edge of the cliff of listenability. Check it out and let us know if this premise is worth another, more sober attempt. Featuring audio clips from: Rear Window, Rear Window re-release trailer, Ethics: An Original Documentary, Disturbia trailer, WDSU News, Channel 5 Clips, War of the Worlds (2025), Dumb and Dumber, the Wedding Singer, Conversation with Screenwriter John Michael Hayes, Family Guy, and Paid in Full.

    The Men Who Stare At Goats '09

    The Jedi are back baby! This week we watched 2009's war comedy The Men Who Stare At Goats. I know?! That movie! You have seen it but forgot you saw it. We rewatched it so you don't have to. This starts as a Glass Half Full episode but quickly goes off the goat path. Shane and Ronnie get bored when talking about this movie so they talk about real life military operations that are stranger than fiction. Shane edited this podcast so watch that volume level! Editor's Note: we recorded a third part to this podcast that our editor was too lazy to include. Maybe one day you will get to see The Men Who Stare at Little Mermaids. 0:00 - Intro 4:55 - The Men Who Stare At Goats 54:00 - Conspiracies & Military History 1:12:25 - Ending & Outro Clips featured in this podcast: The Men Who Stare at Goats, Star Wars: the Phantom Menace, the Alex jones Show, Full metal jacket, CNN, Jurassic Park, Billy Madison, Burn after reading, and a bunch of other things we do NOT own the rights to.
