We are currently trying out some ideas for our brand new Patreon, so consider these bonus episodes as proof-of-concept ideas we are currently trying out for exclusive Patreon content in the future. 

This go-around is called Movie Blind Spots. Each of us made a list of movies we hadn't seen before that we felt like we should have, spun a wheel, and let the fates decide three movies that would be watching this week. 

We start with Anthony's choice, the Akira Kurosawa crime drama, High and Low. Dan follows it up with his assignment, the comedy classic This is Spinal Tap. We finish off our discussion with Mark's pick, the sci-fi epic Interstellar from director Christopher Nolan. 

Let us know what you think of this concept and if you would like to hear us talk about good movies in the future.

This week, we are joined by comedian Jess Sager (@ohheyjesssager) to talk about Hayden Christensen in his first major studio film since hanging up the Darth Vader mask. He takes on Samuel L Jackson in Jumper, a forgotten sci-fi actioner from 2008.

Break some laws and take a listen, as we discuss everything from what we would do with the power to 'jump', wonder why everyone can recognize a character that was supposed to be dead for eight years, and suggest that our main character knows the age of consent laws in the countries he frequents.

And this week, it's even more personal than the last time, as we watch one of the wildest ripoffs we've ever seen on our latest episode of They Called This a Movie.

Italian director, Bruno Mattei, took as much footage from Jaws he could get his hands on and cobbled together some footage of Hulk Hogan's stunt double and terrible day-for-night footage to bring us the unofficial Jaws sequel that no one asked for.

Grab your mother's roast and hit the regatta, as we discuss this silly movie that was made in the 90s but feels like it's from the 70s. We talk about everything from the dialogue lifted completely from other movies, the constant threats of castration, and hilarious death scenes.

This week, we are short one of our host's as the inmates run the asylum. Dan and Mark are left without adult supervision as they watch Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken square off in the mid-90s actioner Nick of Time.

Listen as they discuss how confusing it is that there isn't a single character named Nick in the film, Mark discuss the presence of this movie at his local Blockbuster, and talk about Johnny Depp's sweaty upper lip.

Here's the unofficial sequel to a beloved movie that no one really wanted. It's David Duchovny trying to be Bill Murray, Seann William Scott trying to remain relevant, and Orlando Jones trying to make this movie interesting. And Julianne Moore stumbled onto the wrong set. It's Evolution on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie.

Grab your Head and Shoulders bottles and strap in, as we watch this boringly competent box office bomb. We discuss everything from the decent CG monster designs, the lack of chemistry between all our main characters, and try to decide our opinion of Julianne Moore.

On this week's episode of They Called This a Movie, we go to a time of frosted tips, bell bottom jeans, and a general self-centered attitude that can only come from a pre-9/11 America. Two unpopular teen girls happen upon a wish-granting ring that turns two rats into hunky boys. It's the Showtime Original kids' movie, Ratz, which we watched for some reason.

Settle in as we review this oddball choice, as we discuss everything from the fashion to the jokes that actually made us laugh to the overstuffed plot that features a knight that does nothing.

The year is 2021 and the world is ravaged by a virus. Sounds pretty far-fetched, right? But that's what we thought the future was going to be like back in 1995, a year when people were obsessed with the internet, despite not fully understanding it. This misunderstanding led to Johnny Mnemonic, a cyberpunk snoozefest starring Keanu Reeves, years before he entered the Matrix.

To ring in the New Year, we decided to satisfy one listener's request to watch one of the greatest sci-fi action flicks of all-time. Then, things got crazy and now a satire about how authoritarianism and capitalism go hand-in-hand feels even more frighteningly relevant than it did a few hours ago. We watched RoboCop for They Called This a Movie. Sorry.

Despite things going on in the news, RoboCop is a fantastic movie, and we had a great time with it. Join us as we talk about Clarence Boddicker, possibly the greatest villain ever, Dick Jones's flailing arms, and the incredible fake commercials. Buy this one for a dollar.

They Called This a Movie
released a podcast. Knowwhatimean, Vern?

Merry Christmas, listeners! We're squeezing one more Christmas-themed episode in before St. Nick sticks his butt down the chimney and fills your stockings with a whole bunch of coal. It's our very special Christmas Eve episode of They Called This a Movie, decided by our Twitter followers.

We've got Santa and we got Jim Varney donning his famous denim vest, as we watched the classic Ernest film, Ernest Saves Christmas. We discuss how good the Santa Claus is in this movie, how uncomfortable we are with certain scenes, and even start the rumor that Jim Varney invented a sex act. It's the perfect listening for Jesus's birthday.

Our celebration of Christmas movies rolls on, as we discuss the live action adaptation of one of the most beloved Christmas stories of all time. Muddy cinematography, dutch angles, and an in-your-face performance all collide in this holiday blockbuster helmed by Ron Howard.

This week, we're hitting the small screen, as we exhumed a film from the lost archives of The Family Channel.

Billy Jackson hates Christmas, but he's going to learn to love it when he has to relive the same Christmas over and over again. It's Erik Von Detton in a charming, family movie called "Christmas Every Day", from the first ever 25 Days of Christmas programming schedule. We discuss the main actor's performance, how dumb the love interest is, and just how embarrassing that jump shot is.

Academy Award Winner Reese Witherspoon collides with professional a**hole Vince Vaughn in a loud, obnoxious comedy that could only come from the mid-to-late 2000s. It was a long forgotten time where you could walk around without masks, no one knew what Twitter was, and you could fat shame to your heart's desire. It also brought us mean-spirited Christmas movies, like this hunk of junk. 
Join us as we wrestle a roided-out Jon Favreau and try to wrap our heads around this clunker. We discuss how much noise is in this movie, whether or not you should disclose your legal name to your significant other, and wonder how much Reese Witherspoon hated the entire ordeal.

Back in the before times, all the way in 2014, some producer decided that he wanted to make a movie that would appeal to the Chinese filmgoing markets. So, he gave Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen an undisclosed amount of money, flew them to the forests of China, and made a dull, joyless sand and sandals movie about white people saving Asian royalty.

It is a future with self-driving cars, cameras on doorbells, televisions in the palm of your hand, and other hilariously impossible pipe dreams that only the 80s could conjure up. 
Tom Selleck brings his mustache with him in this one, as he plays Jack Ramsay, a police officer in the Runaway division, and he's tasked with tracking down runaway robots. It's basically Blade Runner, if Roy Batty was a talking trash can. It's up to Jack to track down Gene Simmons, the man behind sabotaging regular household robots for his own personal gain. It's Runaway, directed by Michael Crichton, on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie. 
Put on your electromagnetic suit and tell LOIS you'll be late for dinner as we dive deep into this one. We discuss the career of Cynthia Rhodes, how Gene Simmons runs, and the many things that Michael Crichton got right.

So grab your finest head cheese, break into your neighbor's house, and scream for 30 minutes straight as we dissect this one with chainsaws. We talk about everything from the likelihood that we'd pick up the hitchhiker, whether or not Leatherface belongs in the pantheon of great horror movie villains, and try to decide what it is that we're missing.

This week, we're going a bit obscure, as we continue our celebration of all things horror during 31 Days of Horror.

It's Spanish-produced slasher Pieces. 
Grab your chainsaw and head to the pool as we fully immerse ourselves into the insanity of this one. We discuss everything from the ridiculous tennis scene, an Oscar-worthy performance from our female lead, and Steve Guttenberg, who isn't in this movie.

Graveyard sex, inter-dimensional portals, gangly alien morticians, ice cream men with ponytails, slave labor, tweens driving muscle cars, this movie has it all.

It's all miniature villages, English dubs, and rubber suits. That's right: this week, we're watching the original battle of two behemoths. It's King Kong vs. Godzilla from 1962 on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie. 
Join Dan and Anthony as they watch this kaiju classic, pitting two of the all-time monsters against each other. We talk about the fact that all Kong can do is throw rocks, how it doesn't make sense that Godzilla hates electricity, and discuss how this film would be better if it were 15 minutes shorter.

What do you get when you have a script that's way too long, a premise that's straddling the line between woke and offensive, and add Kate Beckinsale's lucky hat? You get Tiptoes, this week's baffling entry in our quest to find the worst and weirdest films of all-time.

What do you get when you have a script that's way too long, a premise that's straddling the line between woke and offensive, and add Kate Beckinsale's lucky hat? You get Tiptoes, this week's baffling entry in our quest to find the worst and weirdest films of all-time.

The year, we guess, is probably around 2015 and Los Angeles is now under a dome and the control of the evil Cal Corp and there's only one man that can stop them: Slash Gallagher, who is actually the villain in this movie. 
Join us as we discuss Hologram Man, the movie that pulls all the best parts from far-better sci-fi films of the era to give us an undeniably silly, cheesy, but ultimately fun time. So if you like Demolition Man, Viruosity, The Lawnmower Man, The Net, or any other mid-90s movie about hacking or cyberspace, then maybe you'll like this movie. We discuss everything from our two leads' hair, the wasted performances of John Amos and Tiny Lister, and of course, we discuss what it's like to make love to a hologram.

This week, we actually fulfill one of our longest requested films; a request that actually predates this podcast. And it's one of the weirdest films we've ever covered. 
While the world learns to self isolate, a tire becomes sentient and learns that it can go wherever it wants to. Yes, this week, we're watching Rubber, an 80-minute pile of nonsense that is too clever for its own good. 
Join us as we scratch our head at this film, while we discuss what the point of this movie may be, try to determine how many head explosions is too many, and discuss the problem of wearing jeans in the pool.

We sat in our jellicle chairs, plugged in our jellicle microphones, and talked about a very jellicle movie. It's been watched and it cannot be unwatched. 
This week on They Called This a Movie, we sat down to discuss what can barely be called a film, let alone a completed work of "art". We watched Cats, a once-in-a-lifetime studio film for all the wrong reasons. 
Get your catnip and your favorite feline and get ready for this one as we discuss everything from the stupid hood names the cats give themselves, what exactly is a jellicle, and just the overall horny attitude of the entire movie.

Last year, we tackled Leprechaun 3, so this year, it made sense to continue on with the next installment, 1996's Leprechaun 4: In Space. Upon further review, this tradition is for the birds. 
Gather 'round with your best lads and lasses as we discuss the time the Leprechaun went in to space for some reason. We talk about whether or not a fourth installment is the right time to go to space, where this film fails an already dying franchise, and discuss the flimsiest excuse for nudity in a film we've seen in quite a while.

While Elisabeth Moss battles an unseen threat in The Invisible Man, we take a more kid-friendly route as we discuss another movie with a transparent protagonist. This week, we're watching the direct-to-video movie, Invisible Dad. And we wish we can unsee it. 
Hunker down as we try to talk about anything else but this movie. We discuss the filmography of the director, Fred Olen Ray, including his iconic Skinemax run of films. We also discuss the insane evil plot by a junior architect and a contractor, the sequel involving a dead mom maybe actually being held captive in Iraq, and the weirdness of having to be fully invisible in front of your own son.

Last year, we covered the first installment of Twilight. This year, we're covering Twilight fan fiction. That's right: we're talking about Fifty Shades of Grey. 
Tie your sub down to something sturdy and get your butt plugs ready, because we head straight into this movie that was so chock full of sex and nudity, but barely kept our attention. How is that possible? That's the magic of Fifty Shades of Grey: a movie so dull, you eventually stop caring about all the sex. 
So get ready as we discuss the origins of fan fiction message boards, the constant conversations about contracts, and whether or not Christian Grey is implementing the D.E.N.N.I.S. System.

This week's episode of They Called This a Movie is another Twitter poll winner, and this time around, we're...This week's episode of They Called This a Movie is another Twitter poll winner, and this time around, we're welcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger to our pantheon of actors with the movie that places us in a 2019 that is only slightly more bleak than the one we just lived through: it's The Running Man from 1987. 
Crack a can of Cadre Cola as we discuss all the 80s cheese that this movie crams into its runtime. We discuss Richard Dawson's MVP performance, the ridiculousness that is Dynamo, and the greatest end credits song of all time. We even take some time to pick our cast for the remake.

Last week, we put up a poll pitting three action movies against each other, and by the slimmest of margins, the 1996 comic adaptation, The Phantom, won over your hearts. So we watched it.

We discuss everything from the quaint tone of the film, how great Treat Williams is in it, and discuss the proper runtime for a movie like this. We even take some time to allege that Stanley Kubrick murdered librarians while researching for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Dolemite is all of our first dip into the blaxploitation genre, and we are in for quite a treat with this one. We discuss the low-budget campiness, our favorite Dolemite zingers, and just bask in the kung-fu awesomeness. We loved this movie and we invite you to listen along as we have a fun time deconstructing this one.

We delve deep into this one, talking about how much we hate Ned, how disappointing this movie really is, and weigh in on the unnecessary murder of a defenseless creature.

The year is 1985 and the world is right in the middle of Freddy Fever. So how does New Line Cinema respond? By trying to strong-arm Robert Englund and then making a sequel that barely features Freddy doing what Freddy does best, of course.

We talk about the overt sexual undertones, the jurisdiction of physical education teachers, and how this movie would make a lot more sense without Freddy.

This week, while crazy clown Pennywise terrorizes the Losers' Club one last time in Derry, we decide to check out a true anomaly: 1987's Funland. 
We use the word "baffling" a lot, and this one may redefine that. It's not quite a character study of a man going through a nervous breakdown and it's not quite a hilariously offbeat comedy that doesn't mind pushing a few buttons. In a way, it tries to do a bunch of things and succeeds at none of them. 
Listen as we try to make sense of the point of this movie, as we examine the misplaced humor, the paper thin plot, and how much this film probably steps on the toes of the upcoming Joker film. We also discuss our plans for a Batman movie featuring only characters from Happy Days.

Nothing's gonna stop us now...
 
And nothing should stop you from listening to this week's podcast, as we cover Mannequin: On the Move. It's an episode where Dan is absolutely baffled by Mark and Anthony's enjoyment of this film. So kick back and relax as we cover how well the film represents Philadelphia, how much we fall in love with Kristy Swanson all over again, and just how much Dan disliked this week's movie.

This week, Angel Has Fallen, a film that probably no one asked for, hits theaters this week. Rather than trying to find another Gerard Butler movie to watch (God forbid), we watched another action movie, which also happens to be a second sequel of sorts. It's Mission of Justice, otherwise known as Martial Law III. 
Maybe you haven't heard of Mission of Justice; well, neither had we, but lets just say we had an absolute blast with this one. Listen as we discuss the badass Jeff Wincott, the pretty excellent fight choreography, and the bad time the boom mic operator must have had on set.

This week, we take a break from punishing ourselves to talk about a little indie flick called Avengers: Endgame. Ever heard of it? 
Yes, even though we watched the Italian exploitation flick, Endgame, last week to help us prepare, we couldn't resist spending this week talking about the juggernaut that Marvel unleashed on box offices. Thanks to a pretty weak release schedule this week, we were able to talk about this epic without really missing anything too important. 
We discuss everything from what we loved about the movie, what we think about the MCU as a whole, and where we'd like to see the series go from here. It's a spoiler-filled love fest, so be sure to watch before you listen.

Just kidding. We've got a jam-packed episode of They Called This a Movie as everyone gets super-hyped about Avengers: Endgame, coming out this weekend. It's everyone's favorite Italian post-apocalyptic exploitation film, Endgame, or Bronx Lotta Finale for the Italian-speaking fans out there. 
 
What happens if you take a basic premise that you've seen in films like The Running Man, Escape From New York, and The Road Warrior, and put it in the hands of an Italian director with a ton of pornography to his credit? Unfortunately, you get a pretty boring, not very sexy film that could cut about 10 minutes out of the runtime. 
 
Join us as we talk about lame gunfights, even lamer fist fights, and the lack of exploitation in an exploitation film. We dub this one of the most disappointing films we've done so far, so listen as we air our grievances and hope for a better film this weekend.

It’s Easter Week, and Good Friday, specifically, so the gang gets together to watch a disaster movie of biblical proportions, with the 2000 Kirk Cameron vanity project, Left Behind: The Movie.
 
 
Before Avengers: Infinity War and The Leftovers, this Christian-propaganda flick paved the way for people snapping away for the pearly gates, leaving millions wondering why it happened.
 
 
Listen as we do a terrible job at tiptoeing around the evangelical Christian messages, our discomfort of how Kirk Cameron says “The Jews”, and Mark desperately trying to meet the movie half-way. We finish up by talking about what we think happens when we die and what the Cameron’s think about Lori Loughlin facing jail time.

Time travel, Ferris Bueller's girlfriend, and some sweet kicking action. It's all covered in this week's episode of They Called This a Movie. 
This week, the brand new adaptation of Hellboy is tracking like a lead balloon into theaters, so we decided to tackle another Dark Horse Comics adaptation. We present to you the time-traveling sci-fi action flick starring the Muscles From Brussels himself, Jean-Claude Van Damme. 
We go way off the rails in this one, as we talk about everything from how Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in Jingle All the Way wound up in Minnesota, how certain dialogue from the villain hit way too close to home, and we go deep into the ramifications of a threesome with the past version of you and your dead wife. What happens if you get her pregnant? Are the Timecop rules of time travel all the way down to the molecular level? These are the places our minds go in this episode.

It's a superhero extravaganza with a Siberian twist, as we get ready for Captain Marvel, coming to theaters this week. 
 
This week's movie is Guardians, the first Russian superhero movie ever made, and it's... barely a movie. We discuss any fleeting moments that we enjoyed, how a movie with a bearman could be so boring, and the film's possible pro-USSR leanings.

For episode 23, we head back to the kayfabe days of the World Wrestling Federation and the height of Hulkamania, as it's been reported that Chris Hemsworth will be tapped to don the red and yellow in a biopic project centered around Hulk Hogan. 
 
For this news, we decide to tackle No Holds Barred, the first starring role by Hulk Hogan, co-written and produced by Vince McMahon. 
 
An utterly pointless film, No Holds Barred wastes a golden opportunity to capitalize on Hogan's popularity, and despite an excellent turn by character actor Kurt Fuller, winds up being completely forgettable. 
 
Listen as we discuss the awkward pacing, the lack of chemistry between Hogan and his love interest, and how much of a waste of time the entire film is.

Happy Valentine's Day to all our listeners. We hope that you have a special someone to share it with, and if you don't, just spend the day with us as we go head first into one of the biggest phenomenon of all time. It's the first installment of the Twilight series, originally released in 2008 and directed by Catherine Hardwicke. 
Join us as we discuss the complete lack of chemistry between the two leads, the infamous baseball scene, the unfortunate post production decisions that make this one ugly looking movie, and we spend more than enough time talking about how much we wish Anna Kendrick was the main focus of this one.

This week is pretty light on the new releases. Sure, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part comes out, but that movie doesn't really lend itself to finding a similarly-themed film. But The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot does lend itself to terrible movies, so we scoured the internet for movies about Bigfoot, and amidst a whole bunch of movies starring the likes of Danny Bonaduce, there's Bigfoot, a family-friendly flick from 2009. 
 
Listen as we traverse the unintended creepiness of the film, including an underage girl's unheard cries for help, the starry eyes a young boy has for Sasquatch, and the undeniable hotness of our hero's mom. We also discuss missed opportunities for Bigfoot-related hijinx, like watching Bigfoot start a garage band and just shred.

Earlier this week, we unfortunately lost the great character actor Dick Miller at the age of 90. A favorite of Roger Corman and Joe Dante, Dick Miller popped up in movies like Gremlins, The Terminator, Chopping Mall, and more.
 
All the way back in 2014, when we first toyed with doing a podcast like this, we did a string of movies in the month of October, one of them being Night of the Creeps. Dick Miller has a small role as Walt, the cop that runs the police station armory. 
 
This is one of our all-time favorite episodes of any podcast we've ever done, so we thought it would be a good idea to repost this as a way to honor one of all-timers. 
 
Rest in Peace, Dick Miller

THE KILLING ZONE! 
 
This week, we picked a real time capsule of a bygone era: the early 1990s. It was an era of testosterone-fueled actioners on the big screen, which led to cheaper fare that made its way onto basic cable and video store shelves. It's a time of acid-washed jeans, mullets, and drop-the-mic zingers right when the good guy kills the villain. In short, it's the era of The Killing Zone. 
 
This movie marks the second film we've covered that features Deron McBee, better known as Malibu from American Gladiators. We talk about how off-the-wall the editing of the movie is, how we can wait to watch another one of McBee's films, and warn listeners against the idea of surprise shower sex.

This film is easily the most boring one we've done so far, and because of that, this is our shortest episode yet. Listen to us go through the plot and blinding speed just to get this thing over with. 
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

They Called This a Movie is back, a week later than originally anticipated. We originally wanted to get this up in time for Thanksgiving, but some personal issues cropped up and had to push the record back a week. But luckily, this would have been the scheduled week regardless. So.. yay! 
 
Anyway, rather than watching a terrible movie in vain, we decided to plow through with this week's film Jack and Jill, the 2011 twin comedy from Adam Sandler. We originally watched this because it's sort of a Thanksgiving movie, but it really extends through the entire holiday season, so it's still relevant. 
 
We talk about how useless everyone but Adam Sandler is in relation to the plot, we talk about the slow death of Al Pacino's career, and one of us reveals that they didn't hate this movie. GASP!
