We already covered the 1989 Tim Burton Batman but what about the 1966 big screen version? This is the first big screen adaptation for the Caped Crusaders and it's a delight. A definite product of its time, Adam West delivers a pretty good interpretation of Batman with his debonair charm and wittiness. We take a look at all the BAPs! and POWs! plus …

The Princess Bride is big bag of mixed hilarity. Part satire, part love story with a sprinkle of Monty Python. This film not only brings the funny but it has genuine authenticity on its own accord. Starring Cary Elwes and Robin Wright this cast works very well together not only in its writing but in the action and sword fighting sequences. As alway…

I'm gonna get you high today. The 1990's were popular for "hood" movies. Coming of age films depicting the struggles within the inner city community. One film blurred the line between serious drama and comedy. Friday starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker is a light hearted look into a day with Craig and Smokey. We talk about all the best scenes and go…

SNL made a string of films based upon their sketches. Outside of Wayne's World (which we already covered on this show) Coneheads sets itself apart as among the best in the "SNLverse". Starring Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin, this film makes a rather pedestrian skit from the 1970s into a hilarious 1990s comedy. Also starring many of the 1990s SNL stars…

Damon Wayans was absolutely fantastic in this movie. Wayans plays a hardened Marine who gets an assignment to command a bunch of unruly jROTC cadets and tries to get them ready for the Virgina military games. This is what Full Metal Jacket would be if it were made in the 90's...and it was PG-13. The one liners and comedy are top tier and we discuss…

This movie doesn't get enough love. Big Bully starring Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold is one of those 90s movies with balls. Great gags, swearing, assault on minors. It has it all! Tom Arnold and Moranis work really well together and if the movie score had a more darker tone, one could argue this would be a thriller based upon how the plot shapes up i…

Groundhog Day is approaching soon, so we decided to dedicate this week's episode to the greatest movie about Groundhog Day ever! Bill Murray pretty much plays himself in a comedy about a dude getting stuck in a temporal loop. Science baby! We get down on all the funnies in this 1993 Harold Ramis gem. During the Break: Spoof of the George Strait son…

Mel Brooks is one of the most influential film makers of all time. His comedic prowess for satire is some of the best ever! The 1974 film Blazing Saddles starring Gene Wilder is great take on the Western genre and hits hard on some racial commentary that may or may not be able to be made in this day age. We debate that and go over all the hilarity …

Episode 50! Can you believe it. We couldn't believe this Kevin Smith masterpiece was from the early 90s. So we said screw it, lets review it. We cannot do justice to the great writing in this film but we try our best to touch on all of the important scenes. Plus soooo much more! During the Break: Spoof of Garth Brooks - "Friends in Low Places" Frie…
