    KPop Demon Hunters

    KPop Demon Hunters is a 2025 American animated musical urban fantasy film that is also the most-watched movie ever on the Netflix platform! The film follows a K-pop girl group named Huntr/x who lead double lives as demon hunters; they face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. And there is a tiny bit of skateboarding in the film during a Huntr/x video so Michael and Kevin, of course, watched this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Lost Boys

    We're back for spooky season with a discussion of the vampire classic The Lost Boys! There's not a lot of skateboarding in this one but there are a lot of rat-licking punks, trash cans filled with flames, greased up saxophone players, obnoxious comic book store workers, and Coreys. So many Coreys. Kevin and Mike discuss all of this along with where we think this movie fits into the pantheon of vampire movies and how much we both loved Sinners from earlier this year. Sleep all day, party all night, never grow old, never die. It's fun to be a skateboard podcast. Happy Halloween! Theme music is by Kissing Kontest Hosted on Acast.

    Record City

    1977’s Record City brings us into a day in the life of a California record store, its employees, its customers, and the participants in a radio talent show. Is this the worst movie Kevin and Mike have ever watched for GLEAMING THE TUBE? It very well might be. Come share our pain. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

    2013’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, directed by and starring Ben Stiller, is a visually ambitious reimagining of James Thurber’s classic short story with a surprisingly high amount of skateboarding during its runtime. Despite this, neither Kevin nor Mike were particularly fond of this particular movie. Discussed: A particularly terrible profile of Stiller in The New Yorker around the time of this movie's release, the great Rodney Mullen acting as Stiller's skateboard stunt double, the many, many things we didn't like about this film, and which Ben Stiller films we actually do like. Why bother with flights of fancy when you can occupy your brain with a new episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE?! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Karate Kid

    What can be said about The Karate Kid that hasn't already been said? How about: there's a tiny bit of skateboarding in it. Kevin and Mike wax on and off about that, the film's performances, the tenuous link between skateboarding and karate, and, or course, crane kicks. So many crane kicks. Hosted on Acast.

    Suburban Commando

    The year was 1991 and Hulkamania was running wild in cinemas across America with the release of Suburban Commando! The film stars professional wrestler Hulk Hogan as an outer space warrior of some sort who finds himself having to blend in on Earth while living with a suburban family. Shenanigans, as they say, ensure. Christopher Lloyd, Shelley Duvall, and Larry Miller are also in this nonsense. While it's true that the Hulkster does ride a skateboard in this film, Kevin and Mike lament having to watch something so terrible for the podcast. Kevin tells Mike a bizarre story about the time Hulk Hogan ran around the backstage area of the tv morning show he used to work on chasing a mouse, Mike and Kevin discuss a weird character they've been performing for each other since the late 90s, and we try and figure out if the special effects in this movie were made by a Video Toaster or an actual toaster.

    Grease 2

    Grease 2 brings us back to the Rydell High from the popular 1978 musical film Grease but this time instead of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John we’ve got a new set of Pink Ladies and T-Birds, including a young Michelle Pfeiffer in her first starring role! Pamela Adlon on a skateboard! The guy who played Rex Manning! Cool riders! Strange songs! It's a rare sequel that's better than its predecessor and this sure ain't one of them but we watched it anyway. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Y2K

    Y2K from 2024 is an apocalyptic comedy science fiction horror coming of age film directed by Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney in his directorial debut. It follows a group of high school students who attempt to survive on New Years Eve when the year 2000 comes and all technology comes to life and turns against humanity. It's also got skateboarding! Kevin and Mike didn't like this movie all that much so spend a lot of time talking about skateboarder Eric Koston and his shoe line (which are referenced several times in the film), how much they hate rock music from the 1990s (particularly Limp Biskit), the time Mike gave Limp Biskit frontman Fred Durst a tattoo, and the time Kevin spent NYE 2000 hiding in a bathroom. It's one of those episodes, in other words. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
