Matinee Monday: Birdemic LIVE!

Lisa Gilroy (The Studio, Twisted Metal) joins Paul and Jason to break down the 1988 James Spader thriller Jack's Back—a movie that surprisingly is not about Jack the Ripper's return. They discuss how to tell if twins have the same fingerprints, Rick's job at the Second Sole shoe store, how awful all the cops are, if Jack killed Spader Prime in self-dense, and so much more. Plus, Paul spots a My Buddy doll which leads to Lisa recalling her own unique childhood doll experience. And the one and only June Diane Raphael pops in with her best guess as to what this movie is about.

2000's Battlefield Earth, based on a novel by L. Ron Hubbard and starring John Travolta, is one of the most famous bad movies of all time. Rob Huebel (The Dark Web, The Sex Lives of College Girls) joins Paul, Jason, and June to cover all the slo-mo horses, the rumored Scientology connections, Travolta's many accents, the un-sexiness of the characters, all the inconsistencies throughout the movie, and so much more. Plus, we play YOUR Battlefield Earth Razzie nomination pitches. (Ep. #6 Originally Released 03/15/2011)

Ice Cube saves the world from aliens via Amazon Prime and Microsoft Teams?! You all demanded it, so Paul, June, and Jason got their butts into the studio to cover all the mouse-clicking, keyboard-clacking, and front-facing video calls in the new War of the Worlds reboot. They discuss the Tesla ambulance, how Ice Cube plays a straight up stalker, the heroic Amazon Prime Air Drone, the packing tape tourniquet, the bonkers computer drop-down menu options, if the aliens want our nude pics, and so much more. Plus, the gang debate the correct way to pronounce "data" and Paul goes out of his way to clarify he knows his own children.
