    5D AGO

    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.

  4. The "Alien" Franchise

    The "Alien" Franchise

    Happy Halloween! This year we watched over twenty hours of the Alien franchise, or at least some of us did... And we talk about it for over 4 hours?! Why?! Shane, Ronnie, and Hobo Dan fly this space odyssey into the ground and drunkenly talk about the seven Alien franchise films as well as Season 1 of Alien Earth. We all rank them and have vastly different opinions. After 90 episodes, we've learned its best to just nuke it all from orbit. 0:00 - Halloween Introduction 10:16 - Xenomorph vs Michael Myers? 17:40 - Alien '79 26:21 - Aliens '86 59:10 - Alien 3 '92 1:33:02 - Alien Resurrection '97 2:01:10 - Prometheus '12 2:29:03 - Alien Covenant '17 2:47:47 - Alien Romulus '24 3:10:03 - Alien Earth S1 3:56:01 - Final Thoughts, a Confession, Outro 4:07:10 - Extras End Theme made by: brainless_bearyann.

  5. Monkey Court - Shane V Hobo Dan

    09/24/2025

    Monkey Court - Shane V Hobo Dan

    Welcome to the first and last Wasted Potential Monkey Court. Shane is suing Hobo Dan and Ronnie is presiding over the case. They attempt to talk about three courtroom movies and make sense of this terrible podcast idea. And we thought the Exorcism of Emily Rose was a mess... We also try to talk about A Few Good Men. Then there is My Cousin Vinny. There is no order. No one is honorable. The monkeys are the least of our concern. What we have here is almost three hours of rambling confusion. Judge Ronnie cannot keep control of his courtroom. Shane is drunk and can't stop talking about Demi Moore and Marisa Tomei. Hobo Dan in no way suffered a concussion during the recording of this podcast. This podcast caused our editor to check himself into a 24 hour mental health facility after attempting to salvage this shit. Godspeed. And yep, that sound you hear is Ronnie and Dan constantly clicking pens on an audio recording. Jesus. If you stick around for the Bloopers, you may get a better understanding of why this all fell apart besides general incompetence. Thank you to Bailiff Korey @ Big Dumb Movie Podcast.

  6. Fight Club '99

    08/04/2025

    Fight Club '99

    We're back and this week Ronnie is joined by a brand new guest* as they talk about the 1999 David Fincher film Fight Club. Yep. Every podcast talks about this film even though its a clear violation of Rule #1 but rules are for butt wipes and space monkeys. In this Glass Half Full we ask our usual questions: when did we first see this film, 3 things we love about it, and 1 thing to change. We also ramble about toxic masculinity in podcasting, logistics of domestic terrorism, male genitalia, 1 star IMDb reviews, and occasionally bring up the film. We spoil the ending of this film so don't listen if you're one of the 100 people in the world who have never seen Fight Club. *Sha'ne's audio is awful and he is dead to this podcast again End Theme made by: brainless_bearyann.

Audio clips were used from Fight Club, deadmeme on YouTube, Saturday Night Night - Matt Foley, Burn After Reading, KaraFun Karaoke Where Is My Mind?, Nacho Libre, and the Phantom Menace.

  7. Killer Joe '11

    07/07/2025

    Killer Joe '11

    Wasted Potential Podcast is back and this time to ramble through 2011's Killer Joe directed by the devil himself William Friedkin. Its an NC-17 movie so you know Ronnie picked it and this whole podcast will be family friendly. Dan leads the discussion and asks our usual questions: when did we first see this film, 3 things we love about it, and 1 thing to change. So many metaphors are made as we laugh, we drink, and we cringe together. At 43:00 and 1:09:00 we talk spoilers. Skip to 56:45 and 1:31:27 respectively to avoid them. We usually don't care about spoiling older movies but the surprises are what make the film. The full video of Dan watching Killer Joe is available behind our Patreon paywall. For the low price of $5 a month (with an agreed 36 month payment commitment) you can watch 90 whole minutes of Hobo Dan drinking booze, smoking a vape, and hiding his face at all the cringey McConaughey moans.

  8. Orange County '02

    04/04/2025

    Orange County '02

    This was recorded in November 2024 so forgive the dated conversation. Remember in the 2000s when Hollywood pumped out comedies? We don't either. In this Glass Half Full, Hobo Dan and Ron talk about the 2002 comedy Orange County. We don't really follow the usual format of the show but we discuss 3 Things We Love, 1 Thing We Would Change and mostly focus on the colorful characters. End Theme made by: brainless_bearyann. Check him out on Instagram! Thanks to FreeSounds.org contributors. Audio clips were used from "Orange County," "Stan" Instrumental, 10 News First, "Minecraft" trailer, and "Ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage."
