One of Pete’s favorite directors, Alex de la Iglesias, brings in the New Year with a GOOD movie about the filming a NYE TV special. There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe the chaos surrounding the taping. The whole cast urges you to head over to Tubi and treat yourself to this bonkers movie.
Troy tests the friendship of the entire crew as he brings the movie that has confounded him for years to the podcast. M. Night Shyamalan’s 2008 horror, The Happening.
Listen to Pete, Troy, Dave and Kathleen struggle to find the meaning in a meaningless film. Wild speculations will be floated. Theories will be offered. Nothing will help to explain this film. God Help Us All.
This is what happens when you only release one episode a month, it takes 8 years to hit 100 episodes. No complaints on our side, we give you what we got and we’ve done it longer than most. Trying to remember shit that’s happened over the last eight years is a challenge, especially to Pete, who is a big dummy on the best of days. Please forgive all the memory gaps if we said something wrong or just plain forogt. We love all of you and humble ask for your forgiveness.
We normally like to keep episodes to 90ish minutes but with the 8 year / 100 episodes celebration, we knew it was going to be a big one. Breaking it up into two episodes felt like serving you only half a beer and that just didn’t sit right with the alcoholics in the room. Don’t miss the chaotic out takes at the end.
One of the questions that we were asked was what kind of equipment we use. This is what we use today and we love the ability of having 4 separate tracks. We were able to get everything off Amazon minus Mic stands and XLR cables which I was able to pick up at a used music store for way less than buying new. Recorder: Zoom PodTrak P4 Microphones: Behringer XM8500 Go back to episode 64 if you want to understand just why the hell we keep yelling “FOR NANA!” Miss you, Jeff.
Episode 99 is a doozie. Some might call it a wet fart…well…everyone but Pete calls it a wet fart. To celebrate the new Fantastic Four movie we dive into the unreleased 1994 version made by the great Roger Corman. Why was it unreleased? Why did we watch it? Why is Pete still allowed to pick movies? All these questions and more may or may not be answered in this episode.
Pat Daily is sadly no longer with us but he lives on in our memories. Hazy alcohol fueled Put-in-Bay memories but memories still the same. This is the song we reference every show when Pete get’s it right. Just How Drunk are we Gonna Get?
Continuing his weird obsession with 1980s fantasy movies, Dave subjected the cast to Legend (1985), starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry as Darkness.
The cast discuss style over substance, whether the movies we were permitted to watch as children messed us up as adults, and the risks of watching director’s cuts for a podcast about bad movies. We also spend a disproportionate amount of time discussing Tim Curry’s terrifying yet intensely, uncomfortably sexy performance.
For our “Podcast Birthday Month”, we watch Attack of the Mushroom People, featuring the least attacking mushroom people you’ve ever seen. Honestly, this movie should have been called “Stranded on an Island with the Mushroom Pacifists”. Or, as Kathleen suggested, “The Island of Mushrooms and Nothing Actually Happens”.
Listen as Dave and Pete try to convince Kathleen and Troy that this is actually a good movie!
Listen to Dave try to make fungus puns in the background, which are totally ignored!
This month, GBBMN swapped movies with Steven and Leo over at Spoils of Horror podcast. Kathleen was terrified that I had selected something for SoH to watch and the return movie was revenge for giving them such a stinker. Not so. It was an even exchange with neither of us having seen the selection.
Pete starts the night out with a Six Minute Synopsis by getting almost everyone’s name incorrect. He still gets it done in the time allotted but is that really a victory?
Kathleen and Troy teamed up and came up with an amazing way to fix the film. Let us know what you think.
Snorting tequila is not a recommended way to get your drink on.
Join the gang for a film filled with blood fountains and gratuitous 80s references.
Thanks to Superfan Tim Lee for suggesting this one.
You know them and you love them but we finally introduce two NEW members of the GBBMN team, Mitch and Murry! They certainly had a lot to say about this movie.
Our friend Tim Minneci of the Dig Me Out Podcast helped us out with a musical game. If you love hair bands make sure to go check out his podcast. It ROCKS!
