There Will Be Duds

There Will Be Duds

A weekly conversation on twitch turned podcast. We review a wide variety of films drawn randomly from a cup -- the twist is that once a month we review a "bad" movie, or, a dud. The podcast is broadcasted on Twitch and YouTube every Wednesday at 7pm EST at twitch.tv/ThereWillBeDuds

44 - Phantasm (1979)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/05/04

Odds and Ends: We’re sitting in our cars and eating bars and eating stars… and also making fun of bad old rap, but who are we to judge? Have you heard T.J.’s freestyles? Nope, because he can’t, so tell him to shut up. T.J. reviews Our Flag Means Death, and Travis covers The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, and only one of those is a Netflix show. Good for us. We also dip back into High and Low so Travis can give his take. T.J. revokes Moose’s influence and declares

43 - From Justin to Kelly (2003) wsg Connor Campbell...

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/04/27

Odds and Ends: Getting a bit loopy with our two guests Isaiah and Connor, we post hard and start a Pornhub channel for the show; Nick finished the Sopranos, which stars Spongebob’s best friend, James Gandolfini; Isaiah’s watching something that just makes him want the next season of Barry to come out; HBO Max is pretty great even though we usually shill for Netflix Feature Film: Discussing the musical travesty of From Justin to Kelly, though one of us secretly doesn’t think it’s that bad, and tries

42 - High And Low (1963) wsg James & Charli

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/04/21

Odds and Ends: We’re joined by guests James and Charli, who have been watching a lot of TV lately, and recommend all of it, including show favorite I Think You Should Leave; James has also been playing Elden Ring, and we talk about where the Soulsborne and Zelda games can go after their capstone open world games; Davids Lynch and Cronenberg have new movies coming out, maybe; Nick saw Everything Everywhere All at Once, but only once and only at one place, at least I think; Charli has questions about

41 - Zodiac (2007)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/04/14

Odds and Ends: Trying to catch up with Better Call Saul before it ends; all gangster movie actors are in The Sopranos, and they are all the Mega Italian; we unintentionally dive into another director’s (this time, Martin Scorsese) filmography as we tend to do during our post-chats; we’re anxiously anticipating Men, not men, but Men… we’re men who want to see Men; we also talk about the Oscars, but somehow manage to avoid talking about THAT. Feature Film: We’re talking David Fincher’s “Zodiac,”

40 - From the Vault: The Man from Earth (2007)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/04/07

Odds and Ends: Another throwback episode, featuring T.J.’s dogs, Nick filtered through T.J.’s stream-sniping, air traffic controller Travis, and a much more awkward, stilted but not structured show! In the pre (not post!) chat, we cover some of last year’s Oscar nominees, like Judas and the Black Messiah and Sound of Metal. Discussing the ethics of pirating movies made by shitty douchebags. Feature Film: We’re talking the ultra low-budget low-key sci-fi talky movie “The Man from Earth,” written by

39 - Fateful Findings (2012)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/03/30

Odds and Ends: We once again return to the vast well of shit talking streaming services while simultaneously expressing how convenient they make watching things. It's cool that 5 companies own everything as long as I don't have to fuckin rent it on Amazon or YouTube Again. We also discuss the season 3 trailer of The Boys and wax philosophical about the show versus the edgy comic series. Feature Film: A true auteur's auteur, we're discussing the inevitable, inimitable, un-imitatable Neil Breen. We

38 - A Prophet (2009)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/03/23

Odds and Ends: It's (technically) our one-year anniversary! But this isn't our anniversary episode. It's complicated. Nick revisits a Coen Brothers classic, and we talk about our other favorites of theirs, as well as the mysticism of Nicolas Cage. We talk about Wordle, because we're your middle aged mom. Feature Film: A Prophet is a movie. It follows a guy. Who is in prison. He's threatened. And has to do some things he doesn't want to do. And maybe does some drugs or something. Neat. This thing

37 - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/03/16

Odds and Ends: A particular blackbelt isn't achieving world peace through ending violence; Nick doesn't Mind Goblin, I mean Nick watched Mind Goblin; Travis talks Fresh, and the art of very late title sequences; T.J. saw a new movie in a theater! It's Robert Battinson's new movie, "The Patman" Feature Film: Joey Fatone of N*SYNC recommended the classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," one of Travis' top 10 (or at least top 15) movies of all time. Travis writes a theoretical documentary

02:00:50

36 - Run, Lola Run (1998)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/03/13

Odds and Ends: We're gunning for that Ultimate Death, and we're taking the Queen with us; Nick watched the French Dispatch, and we go on a Wes Anderson trip through (pretty much) his entire filmography; we're back in Netflix's pocket as T.J. talks their new sort of improv sitcom "Murderville" Feature Film: Diving in to the world of German experimentalism with the 90s cult classic "Run Lola Run," a movie about Lola, who runs. Multiple timelines, chaos theory, butterfly effect, whatsits and howifs

01:27:11

35 - Harvey (1950)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/03/03

Odds and Ends: We love the royal family and hope they are all doing well; Moose saw a musical, T.J. saw a play, both of which also have movie versions, but don't you dare compare the two because art be different sometimes Feature Film: In the first of our celebrity recommendations list (this one courtesy Elijah Wood), we're getting back with the king Jimmy in the 50s classic, "Harvey," about a lovable weirdo with an invisible rabbit best friend. This is one of those where we have a hard time

01:31:46

34 - Son of the Mask (2005)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/02/24

Odds and Ends: Diving into the weird world of Derek Savage and Cool Cat; discussing the wonderful Paper Mario series, which only lasted two games and that's it, what a shame they never made more than just the two Paper Mario games; other older RPGs get some love, like Earthbound and Final Fantasy Tactics; our pal Elijah Wood recommends next episode's movie! Feature Film: Only the strongest (dumbest) survived the movie for this week's episode, and neither of us are that happy about it. We're

01:48:20

33 - The Brood (1979)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/02/17

Odds and Ends: Masked Singer controversy naturally leads us into another 9/11 discussion, this time with 100% more Jeb!; E.T. is hotter than Penelope Cruz; we all saw Jackass Forever together, so this is almost a double movie ep because we do a fairly lengthy discussion on it. Feature Film: Talking the Cronenberg cult classic "The Brood," which T.J. thinks was his big breakout movie, but could be wrong. Don't ask us, none of us saw a movie before Cats. That said, this one is definitely a movie, one

32 - Paris, Texas (1984)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/02/10

Odds and Ends: Travis brainstorms some alternate podcast ideas, which are pretty much the exact same as this one; the unending gold of repetitive song lyrics; T.J. talks Lucky, a Harry Dean Stanton vehicle that's not the other Harry Dean Stanton vehicle we talked about this week Feature Film: We're settling in to the painted skies and (very long) shots of Paris, Texas, the 1984 road movie directed by Wim Wenders. It follows Travis/T.J. and his brother, played by Harry Dean Stockwell. Well, until it

31 - Rango (2011)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/02/03

Odds and Ends: Rango Unchained; Cynthia Nixon gets nasty; call us Francois Bourgeois, cuz we're riding all the trains, from Anal to Zoophilia; Last Claus Standing; we really struggled to come up with an opening this week... and a closing... and a... show Feature Film: Talking the Gore Verbinski movie starring Johnny Depp that's NOT Pirates of the Caribbean (or The Lone Ranger), 2011's Rango (...Rangooooooo). It follows the titular Rango, a lizard out of water (literally) caught up in a conspiracy

01:36:25

30 - Miami Connection (1987)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/01/27

Odds and Ends: Dance interpretation of the late Brockhampton's music; Nuclear Disaster Person; Encanto is a movie that you can watch if you want, or not; X-Files/Sopranos/Peacemaker star Doggett; T.J. beats Travis to the It's Always Sunny reference, but where? Feature Film: We're talking friendship, loyalty, and honesty this week, which can only mean Y.K. Kim's magnum opus, Miami Connection. It tells the story of taekwondo (NOT kung fu) rock band Dragon Sound as they face off against multiple

29 - From the Vault: House of Flying Daggers (2004)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/01/20

Odds and Ends: Due to some technical difficulties, we're bringing an older episode back to life! We cover a lot of ground in our early days, as we ping pong around from the upcoming (and now released) Spider-Man film, Godzilla, and we finally get the introduction to Nick's love of the X-Files. Also we talk about our own short films (what a surprise) and write a few early aughts parody films along the way. Feature Film: Finally released from the vault, this week we discuss House of Flying Daggers,

28 - The Animatrix (2003) / The Matrix Resurrections...

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/01/13

Odds and Ends: What makes a cold open? Is it getting clapped by the Matrix for learning the function keys? Recycling your Crown Royal broth bags? How about both? Feature Film(s): Our follow-up to the Matrix trilogy is here! We're capping our coverage of the saga (so far) with a double feature on The Animatrix and The Matrix Resurrections. One, in one humble co-host's opinion, is essential Matrix viewing, while the other, not so much. Both movies continue and expand on the Matrix universe and lore,

27 - From the Vault: A Hard Day's Night (1964)

There Will Be Duds ·

2022/01/06

Odds and Ends: You hear that? Is that the sound of... a classic episode? Oh, wait, it's just T.J.'s dogs? This week, we're pulling one from the Duds vault, before we were a podcast, merely a lowly Twitch stream. But now it IS a podcast, in all it's awkward, early Duds days glory. Cheer at the story of T.J. talking about the Eric Andre vehicle "Bad Trip"! Gasp at the origins of Nick's X-Files obsession! Thrill in the sheer annoyance of T.J.'s dogs never shutting the fuck up! Feature Film: Dipping our

26 - Jack Frost (1997)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/12/30

Odds and Ends: Congratulations are in order for another great season of the Masked singer; NFTs are making their way into the movie biz and they're still as dumb as always; there's a Queen's Gambit board game that's... not... chess? Feature Film: We talk the other Jack Frost movie that shares quite a few more similarities with the Michael Keaton version than you'd expect. A guy turns into a snowman again, but this time, he's got angry eyebrows. Swap Charlie Boy for Honey Boy and a Cool Dad for a..

25 - Jack Frost (1998)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/12/23

Odds and Ends: We're feeling the holiday spirit this week, because T.J. forced everyone to do a secret Santa gift exchange, and an item is added to the display; Daegan rewatched a childhood favorite and didn't like the experience; we dive in to the lost art of tv to tape recording, and various other VHS tales from our youths Feature Film: We talk the very logical Jack Frost from 1998, NOT the equally logical Jack Frost from 1997. In it, Robert Baratheon basically kills Michael Keaton so he can slip
