This is a podcast about cinematic oddities, where we discuss any media that is too bizarre, abnormal or off-kilter for contemporary audiences. Occasionally these projects gel, most times they crash, hard into the realm of obscurity. Join us as we delve into the cult classics swamp!

Bonus - Stacy's Mom (2010)
Hey kids, sorry for the late episode this week! This time, tune in to hear Rob divulge the details of his weird infatuation with an unknown raunchy comedy, "Stacy's Mom"! How uncomfortable is this movie to watch? What does the Fountains of Wayne song have to do with this movie? And how much a grave does Rob dig for himself this time?

Episode 202 - Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
The cap on our Spider-Man series is here! Listen in as Ben & Rob discuss the massively successful new installment in the MCU. Which one of them had more problems with the movie? Has Disney completed the first "nostalgia purchase"? Will this movie usher in a new age of multiverse and crossover movies? And, probably most importantly, how do these portals work?

Episode 201 - Wild Wild West (1999)
We reference it way too much when it barely has any connection to our main topic, so we finally decided to give it the main spotlight; it's "Wild Wild West"! A stacked cast, a ton of money, an update of a classic TV show, what could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. Tune in for Rob & Zack discussing a nearly universally hated movie that has never left their minds. Is this movie really that bad, though? What is the deal with Will Smith and his kids? How did Kenneth Branagh reprise his role as Arliss Loveless twenty years later? Listen in to find out!

Episode 200 - Jupiter Ascending (2015)
We've made it to 200 episodes! To celebrate, we're not covering the new Matrix, the new Spider-Man, or even Jonathan Peters and "Licorice Pizza", but Zack is taking over and we're discussing an expensive box-office disaster! This episode was recorded back in September of 2021 when Rob & Zack were together, so excuse the audio quality. There're tax grievances, there's talk about women selling their eggs, there're Wachowski rankings, there's talk about things covered in the last three weeks because we are always going through the turnstiles!

Episode 199 - The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
We have reached the end of The Matrix franchise...for now! Another one of the most reviled sequels in film history, there's no surprise what Rob thinks about this conclusion, but how does it hold up for Zack? He's stated it's his favorite of the three, so tune in to hear if that is still the case. Also, there's talk about the remaining Animatrix segments, the Path of Neo video game, and of course, the Matrix Online. How will all of these things come together for The Matrix Resurrections?

Episode 198 - The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
As we transition from one of the most influential movies ever into one of the most reviled sequels, don't expect Rob's love for this franchise to die down! In fact, exactly the opposite occurs, and Rob takes Zack down the rabbit hole into The Matrix lore. The Merovingian, the Architect, the Oracle, it's all in here!
