Episode 211 - My Real Weird Genius Science Project:...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/01/24

Back in August 1985, three science-themed comedies aimed at teenagers were all released within one week of each other - Weird Science, Real Genius and My Science Project. And as we all learned in chemistry class, you should never try to mix acids and bases or something bad can happen. In this particular questionable experiment in cloning, we got one problematic John Hughes sub-classic, one genuinely ageless Val Kilmer cult classic, and one forgettable Dennis Hopper dud. All within a week of each

Episode 210 - Harry Potter

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/01/17

The first Harry Potter movie is now 20 years old! Which makes all you kiddoes who grew up with the series in the naughty aughties pretty much middle-age now. So fire up your patronus charm to scare away those Dementors, because here’s our old-guy take on The Boy Who Lived (and his coterie of witches and wizards). It is arguably the biggest and most fantastical film franchise that made kids want to read books again, ever. And while we aren’t crazy fanboy Potter-heads, we still managed to enjoy it

It’s January, and that means the MagHuge crew has been away from podcasting for a few weeks, and we have SO MUCH FRESHNESS to talk about! We’re covering most of the big clickbait this week. Check below for timestamps because we have a heapin’ helpin’ of SPOILERS for The Matrix: Resurrections, Ghostbusters Afterlife, Yellowjackets, Hawkeye, The Book of Boba Fett, and many more!

Episode 208 - Why is Christmas Vacation a Holiday...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/11/29

Merry Christmas, $h!tter was full! In 1989 the Griswolds returned for another attempt to put the Vacation lightning back into a smaller bottle, and the results were… shall we say, uneven? The holidays are the backdrop for a family gathering of epic comic mayhem, or so the National Lampoon gang would lead us to believe. Instead, we got a slew of PG-13 dad jokes, Chevy Chase pratfalls, and the return of Cousin Eddie so we can laugh at all them poor, dumb rednecks who gots no class. Over the last 30+

Episode 207 - Beverly Hills Cop

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/11/22

We're not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe...but we are going to enjoy this week's talk about the king of mega-gigantic-blockbuster action comedies that helped define the 80's, Beverly Hills Cop. This pop juggernaut of the Me Decade spawned two sequels and has a soundtrack full of bangers, and it firmly cemented the star power of Eddie Murphy forever. But does it hold up today? The heat is on as we find out! | 0:00 - Intros | 5:00 - American Scandal podcast

Episode 206 - Aliens vs all the other “Aliens”

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/11/15

Aliens - everybody talks about them, but nobody does anything about them. Once an Alien: Resurrection or Alien: Covenant comes rolling around, people are shocked they suck. Why? Because the only Alien movie anyone needs is 1986’s James Cameron classic, “Aliens.” This is what every Alien movie since has tried to be better than, and has failed at miserably. So let’s pick apart some Aliens. Try not to get any acid blood on your shirt, it’ll burn away your organs. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:55 - Them

Episode 205 - Every Which Way But Loose (Any Which...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/11/08

Clint Eastwood and his ape best friend, Clyde, travel the American West in search of love and fistfights. At least that’s what we think this so-called 1978 blockbuster comedy was about. It’s a shambolic, terminally unfunny mess of a film about toxic masculinity and bad country music, as far as we could decipher. It is also Eastwood’s weirdest film ever, one we thought would be an enjoyable lark. You’d think pairing the Man With No Name with an orangutan for some hijinks would be a no-brainer.

Episode 204 - Clash Of The Titans

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/11/01

What do you get when you combine actors who are past their prime with special effects that are past their prime, in support of a literally ancient story? If it’s 1981, you get fantasy classic Clash of the Titans! Join the MagHuge crew as they revisit their inner 10 year olds, who dreamt of making epics with a super 8 camera and the toys in their basements. Does it hold up?

Episode 203 - Dune for Dummies by Dummies

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/10/25

“A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.” For a few uber-nerds, that line means the start of the most respected - and ripped off - science fiction franchise of all time, Frank Herbert's. Dune. This month, a new film adaptation was released - the third time the original 1965 novel was adapted, we might add. To commemorate this, and to cash in on the click bait, we’ll be talking the movies, books, and legacy of all things Dune.... And like all things

Episode 202 - A Nightmare On Elm Street

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/10/18

Whatever you do, don't fall asleep...until you listen to our latest podcast all about Wes Craven's horror classic-cum-Freudian-facepunch - A Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy Krueger burst onto the scene in 1984 with his razor-tipped glove and evil grin to hunt us in our dreams and became an instant horror icon in the process. Sure, the films maybe got a little goofy as their budgets increased, but damn if those deaths weren't always some of the most horrifically creative demises ever filmed, which

RERUN - Episode 26 - Cover Songs

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/10/05

This week, we talk all about covers - those great songs made better or worse by someone else performing them. From punker bands that speed them up, to choral groups that slow them way down, covers are music's way of paying tribute to its favorite past musicians - or riding their coat tails. Check out this YouTube playlist of all these awesome covers and more: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs…d58qv1-uXtiJJxB7R Who we're covering - oh! Puns! Woo hoo!

Holy cow, we’ve made 200 episodes of this thing! This week the MagHuge crew goes back to the film that everyone blames for the modern superhero extravaganza: Blade! THRILL as we talk about yet another movie that somehow at least one of us is the last human on Earth to have watched! GASP IN AMAZEMENT at all the other movies we talk about including Role Models and Pan’s Labyrinth!

Episode 198 - Movie Blockbusters That Did Not Disappoint

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/09/13

Not all blockbuster movies are garbage. Some of them are just right. Everything the preview promised you you’d see is kept, the feeling you hoped you’d have by the end is earned… In short, some blockbusters are worthy of their hype. This week we reminisce about the best big budget (sometimes) Summer Blockbusters we’ve seen, and why they were a cut above. We’ll also share all the stuff we’ve been enjoying this week in our Fresh Shit segment, and just make general asses of ourselves... again. It’s yet

Episode 197 - Heavy Metal

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/08/30

Back in the 70’s, horny boys didn’t have the internet. The lucky ones had Playboy. The truly nerdy ones had Heavy Metal, an illustrated anthology magazine that featured the sort of sex, violence, and power fantasies that would eventually be provided by video games. But the poor lonely pre-teens of the 70’s didn’t really even have that to turn to. So yeah, Heavy Metal. And then in 1981 they made a movie of it! The Mag Huge crew breaks it all down for you. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:25 - Nine Perfect

Episode 196 - Top 5 Movie Picks Of 1996

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/08/23

At first glance, 1996 was kind of a bland year for movies, eh? At second glance, it’s still a bit, well... meh. The Top 10 moneymakers were all straight up studio products and a bit lifeless, while the Oscar contenders are mostly forgettable. If the 90’s had a crack in which to fall through, 1996 is certainly that year. Our challenge, then, was for each of us to bring our Top Five Movies of 1996 and see if we could find some elusive spice in an otherwise milquetoast cinema year. | 0:00 -

Episode 195 - Indiana Jones And The Schlocky 80’s...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/08/16

If you didn’t like “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” it’s only because you didn’t see all of these other Indiana Jones adventurer knockoffs in the 1980's that were hilariously, misguidedly, and unrepentantly bad. This week, from the decade that brought you Twisted Sister, Reaganomics, television’s “Small Wonder,” and the crack cocaine epidemic, comes the Indiana Jones rip-offs of the 1980s! We also cover our usual assortment of shows and films we watched this week, in another

Episode 194 - The Ubiquitous Funky Drummer Breakbeat

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/08/09

This week we delve into the 2nd most blatantly sampled song in the world. It just wouldn’t be the late 80’s / early 90’s without the rhythm found in James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” underneath everything from DJs with mad skills to pasty white dudes with absolutely no skills whatsoever. We also review James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad”. Check out the show! It’s a trip, it’s got a funky beat, and you can bug out to it! | 0:00 - Intros | 3:55 - Greg Abbott Wants You Dead | 7:45 - The Suicide Squad
