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

24 - Mortal Kombat (1995) wsg Jake Bowen

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/12/16

Odds and Ends: the Home Alone house is on Airbnb and is killing people; Will Smith has a show, just like every celebrity nowadays who has their own podcast, like losers; The 13th Warrior shares some similarities with our feature film; T.J. loves Arcane, but wants to make it clear he thinks League of Legends is just okay; in the break, we talk about our coincidental connection to special guest Jake, and watch a few of his short films, including Uncle Samsonite Feature Film: Special guest Jake Bowen

23 - Princess Mononoke (1997)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/12/09

Odds and Ends: Nick's first-time dive into The Sopranos outs T.J.'s anti-Italian racism; Moose went to a thing but all I can remember is that it was at a place called Todd Mission; Kodamas got cake Feature Film: We talk our first animated feature with the much beloved "Princess Mononoke," from director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. A historic fantasy epic of man vs. nature with the valiant Ashitaka (or Ashitaco or whatever) caught in the middle. Spirits and gods battle, love is founded, and

22 - The Matrix Trilogy (1999-2003)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/12/02

Odds and Ends: We were on break, but now, we're thinking we're back! Feature Film(s): In our time off, we watched the original Matrix trilogy (before it becomes more of a "saga" with the release of Resurrections shortly), which is quite the mixed bag as far as movie trilogies goes. Lots of love, lots of hate, lots of quoting going on in this one. It's a beefy one with a lot of ground to cover, so without any further ado, start the show! Next week's movie: Princess Mononoke You can join the

21 - Bedeviled (2016)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/11/29

Odds and Ends: T.J. continues his horror homework and just finished the rest of the Nightmare on Elm Street series (as well as the documentaries "Never Sleep Again" and "Scream, Queen!"), then runs down some bullet points on the movies and just what makes them so special Feature Film: To cap off our month of terror, we talk the most horrific movie we've covered so far - "Bedeviled," a not-played out story of kids and their cell phones and how that's bad, definitely not written by people too old and

20 - The Blob (1988)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/11/26

Odds and Ends: A serious topic as we discuss the recent tragedy on the set of "Rust;" I'm glad that's our only intro topic on this one, because I feel weird trying to add in jokes here in the description next to that story Feature Film: "Dream Warriors" writer/director team Chuck Russell and Frank Darabont return with their remake of "The Blob," the 80's creature feature remake that's NOT "The Thing" or "The Fly," but definitely follows a similar naming and remaking convention. Listen as we gush

19 - Get Out (2017)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/11/23

Odds and Ends: Short a person or two, but not short of intro topics, we cover a lot of ground this week, including creating a Twitter account for Minecraft vs. John Mayer; finally delving into the Great British Bake Off and the Mighty Boosh; more Wes Craven talk via the Scream series; T.J. finishes up Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass; Moose is watching You, not you, but You. Feature Film: This week, three white guys solve racism by talking about Jordan Peele's directorial debut, Get Out. We cover all

18 - Oculus (2013)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/11/13

Odds and Ends: More Netflix shilling as we talk about another Netflix original, Maid; Moose talks about Jovy Hanson (or Joel Haver, whatever), an animator/Youtuber who reminds him of the Grandpa Crane videos; T.J. did his homework this week and talks about other Mike Falananagan projects, Midnight Mass and Oculus Chapter 3, the short film that inspired the feature. Feature Film: We talk about Oculus, the first major studio production directed by Mike Flanagan. It covers the story of a brother and

17 - A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/11/09

Odds and Ends: Covering something actually topical and relevant to the present time, we talk about the new Netflix hit, Squid Game; Brendan Dassey v. Tiger King; I guess we're sponsored by Netflix this episode, because we also cover another Netflix title, Sex Education, which naturally devolves into a topic I don't feel comfortable typing out here. Feature Film: In the first of our horror-athon for the month of October (oops, November), we cover the third movie in the Freddy Krueger saga, Dream

16 - Catwoman (2004)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/10/30

Odds and Ends: Back in movie news mode, the gang talks about the casting for the new Super Mario movie, and if there's ever been any good video game movie adaptations; also, a lot of old shows and movies seem to be coming back in some shape or form, huh? Feature Film: Special guest Keley brought in Catwoman, a movie based on the DC comics character of the same name, if you can even call that "based on." I already forgot what we talked about for this movie because it sucks so much. There was a

15 - Eraserhead (1977)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/10/25

Odds and Ends: Nick's X-Files journey has taken him to the first film based on the series, so, naturally, we end up talking about the Pokemon movies instead; Daegan talks about a show called StartUp, which I guess exists and isn't the Korean Netflix show that comes up whenever I try Googling it; he also watched Birds of Prey even though T.J. told him not to, but we like talking about Ewan McGregor, so it worked out. Feature film: The gang talks David Lynch's seminal (see what I did there) first

14 - Close-Up (1989)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/10/14

Odds and Ends: Nick continues his tour through turn-of-the-century cinema with Legally Blonde, T.J. thinks maybe not all of American Horror Story is terrible, Tommy loves Rick and Morty enough to actually do the show for once. Feature film: We take a look at the quasi-documentary "Close-Up" by Abbas Kiarostami, a super-meta look at a case where a man conned a family into thinking he was a famous filmmaker and that they would be in his next movie, only to then all play themselves in this retelling of

13 - The Suicide Squad (2021)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/10/04

Odds and Ends: Paramount pushes back a lot of movies and gives all their money to the South Park guys, more studios are pulling out of same day releasing on streaming platforms, what are we, some kind of movie news squad? Feature Film: As a sort-of part 2 to last week's episode, we cover the sort-of part 2 to last week's movie, The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn, which is totally different and not a sequel to that other one everyone hates, but also maybe it is a sequel, maybe, if you

12 - Suicide Squad (2016)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/09/27

Odds and Ends: T.J. talks Death Note in the first ever "T.J.'s Otaku Corner," Community is still good after the gas leak year you should keep watching it, Nick dips back in to the X-Files Feature Film: In the first part of our sort-of two-parter on the two movies centered around DCs "Task Force X," as our dud, we cover the 2016 "Suicide Squad," directed by David Ayer. Even in the pantheon of garbage DCEU movies, this one stands out as being particularly duddly (duddish? dud-like?), even earning one

11 - Amadeus (1984)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/09/16

Odds and Ends: One Star National Park Reviews, Microphone Etiquette, Frankfort 48 Hour Contest, Stinky Drinky, and BLOOM, our entry to the film contest. We also watched a short film Travis made inspired by Amadeus, which you can watch here! Feature film: We're joined by returning special guest Deegs, and it's a jam packed episode as the five of us discuss Milos Forman's 1984 epic, Amadeus! This is the highest we've rated a film on the podcast, so instead of typing a description I'm just gonna tell

2021/08/30

Odds and Ends: Fireball Whiskey, Zoomer Cryptids, Charlie's Angels (the good one), Pokemon vs Digimon, Hercules Crotch Plates Feature film: the gang discusses the 2017 Netflix original movie The Discovery, a science fiction film with Robert Redford, Jason Segel, Rooney Mara, and Jesse Plemons. A scientist discovers definitive proof of the afterlife and grapples with the amount of suicides across the globe the DISCOVERY has caused. Will you want to kill yourself after the movie? Maybe!

9 - Megan Is Missing (2011)

There Will Be Duds ·

2021/08/22

Odds and Ends: Gilmore Girls vs West Wing, Travis and Isaiah are in Kentucky Feature film: a bonafide capital-D Dud, we're discussing the gross and exploitative Megan Is Missing, directed by Michael Goi, who is almost definitely a pedophile (in Minecraft, PARODY SATIRE ALLEGEDLY). We tried to squeeze some content outta this fuckin' lemon, but we couldn't get any lemonade. So I just rubbed the lemon juice in my eyes. Please don't watch this movie.

2021/07/21

Odds and Ends: Who Killed Captain Alex merch, Cruella, A Quiet Place Pt 2, Amazon's The Boys, Bo Burnham's Inside, and the validity of half integers in movie podcast review scores.
