#181: The Fast and the Furious (with Mitch Garling)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/06/19

It's one of the highest-earning movie franchises in the world, gaining billions of dollars at the box office. The sequels gradually turned into globe-crossing, heist-filled, espionage-y superhero adventures, but at the core, it's always been about fast cars and family... And those two themes make up most of this week's movie! Comedian Mitch Garling joins us to chat about 2001's The Fast and the Furious, reminiscing with Sandro about seeing Paul Walker and Vin Diesel together for the first time as a

#180: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (with MissMandeee)

2022/06/12

Videogame adaptations don't have a good track record. Some would say we've only recently been getting good ones, but even then they are few and far between. But what if, in 2001, they made an adaptation of Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig? What if everyone hated it at the time, including one of our hosts, but then that host changed their opinion upon second viewing? What if the other host has a bunch of questions about what happened in the film? And what if we got Twitch streamer

#179: Evolution (with Jack McGorlick)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/06/05

Hey, do you remember Ghostbusters? Do you watch The X-Files? Do you enjoy a good, extended fart joke? If so, we've got a movie for you! It's Evolution, Ivan Reitman's sci-fi comedy, that has many similarities to his previous supernatural endeavours. It stars a very happy-to-be-here David Duchovny, a very why-am-I-here Julianne Moore, and a giant farting starfish. We're joined by comedian Jack McGorlick to discuss this fun yet forgotten comedy.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus

#178: The Animal

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/05/29

We're back with yet another awful comedy from 2001. The Animal is all about Rob Schneider being injured and put back together with random animal parts. Things start to go "hilariously" wrong when he begins to act like an animal himself! Expect way too many problematic jokes involving animals, way too many problematic jokes involving the singular female character in this film, and way too many problematic cameos by Adam Sandler.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month

#177: Pearl Harbor (with Rhys Parton)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/05/22

Now, this is a big one! Not just in terms of episode length or the movie's runtime, but also in terms of how much there is to dissect in this film. It's time to chat about Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, starring Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett. In the style of Titanic, this movie is an epic romance set against the backdrop of a historical tragedy, except this one is also an action movie with a lot of American patriotism. We're joined by podcaster and actor Rhys Parton to see if it lives

2022/05/15

It's a debate that's been had all throughout history, dividing friendships and creating discourse. Which movie is better... Shrek or Shrek 2. Today, to celebrate the 21st anniversary of Shrek's cinematic debut, we dive right in for the battle to end all battles.

#175: Pulse (回路 / Kairo) (with Ben Volchok)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/05/08

Pulse (回路 / Kairo) is a Japanese horror film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa that made waves at film festivals in 2001. It's a dark, atmospheric exploration of the internet, ghosts, and loneliness that is really unlike any other horror we've reviewed on the show before. We're joined by comedian Ben Volchok to go through the plot, figure out a few of the mysteries, and get a few scares in along the way.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month

#174: The Mummy Returns (with Meerna Yousif)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/05/01

We've watched it countless times as kids, now it's time to see how it holds up with our grizzled movie-watching eyes. The Mummy Returns, released May 4th in 2001, is the sequel to the classic Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz adventure film that everyone loves. It features everyone's favourite characters going up against the resurrected Imhotep once again, except this time there's also a giant Dwayne-Johnson-shaped Scorpion King hanging around! We're joined by comedian Meerna Yousif to revisit this

#173: Driven

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/04/24

We've done a lot of Sylvester Stallone movies here on the podcast. We've seen him be a truck driver, an arm wrestler, a hitman, and even a cab-driving country singer. In this episode, we finally get to see what the action icon is like as a racing car driver. Driven, released April 27th in 2001, is a high octane thrill ride about racing and a bunch of other half-baked ideas. It features hilariously ADRed dialogue, terrible computer-generated crashes, and some of the worst cinematography and editing

2022/04/17

Grab your big knife and head into the outback with us this week as we check in with everyone's favourite Aussie larrikin in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles! It's the third and final film in this classic Australian trilogy and features Paul Hogan going to Los Angeles with his family to bust some criminals, hang out with some wildlife, and make a bunch of jokes. Look, this one isn't good, but it does feature a paper mache cow doing a big fart!Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/04/10

We're heading to Riverdale this week and going on tour with Josie and the Pussycats! It's the live-action adaptation of the classic Archie Comics characters. When the band (played by Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson) find out their new manager (Alan Cumming) is planting subliminal messages in their music, they have to use the power of friendship and pop-punk to save entertainment as we know it.

#170: Pokémon 3: The Movie

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/04/03

Despite only one of us having any knowledge about the Pokémon franchise, this week we're doing an in-depth review about the 3rd entry into the series of films about cute pocket monsters who are forced into combat by their human "trainers". Pokémon 3: The Movie – Spell of the Unown: Entei is a long title for a rather short movie. It's about a young girl who becomes a god. It's about a teenage boy who wants to be the very best. It's about an alphabet soup but without any of the soup. That will make

#169: Spy Kids

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/03/27

Growing up, we were both big fans of the Spy Kids franchise. We had the toys, we had watched the entire trilogy countless times... So when we saw Robert Rodriguez's classic family adventure movie as an option, we had to give it a rewatch. This week, listen as we remember Alan Cumming's Thumb Thumbs, Juni's superhuman mimic powers, Carmen's badass fight scenes, Danny Trejo's kind-hearted but extremely murderous Machete, and the power couple that is Carla Gugino and Antonio Banderas as the parents

#168: Say It Isn't So

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/03/20

We've made mistakes before... But something about this week's comedy film hits differently. Say It Isn't So, released March 23rd in 2001, is a rom-com about a couple who find out they might be siblings. Don't worry! They're not. But they think they are. When an incredibly emo-looking Chris Klein discovers that they aren't related, actually, he must set off and try to convince a very clumsy Heather Graham that they should get back together.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes

#167: The Dish

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/03/13

Did you know Australia helped during the moon landing? We did! We're so proud of that fact that we made a movie about it! The Dish is a great classic Aussie comedy about the small town of Parkes and the role they played in broadcasting man's step onto the moon. Plus, in the most Australian move a movie could possibly make, it stars Sam Neill (a New Zealander) and Patrick Warburton (an American) in the two lead roles.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each

We're back on the Disney Channel this week for another TV movie called The Luck of the Irish. This one's about a teenage basketball player who finds out the secret of his heritage... He's a leprechaun!

2022/02/27

Hey, remember when Disney were pumping out heaps of direct-to-video sequels? This week we're reviewing one! It's Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, a sequel to the classic 50s Disney film. This one is about the rebellious son of Lady and Tramp who leaves home, joins a gang, sings love songs with a dog of undiscernible age, gets chased by the police...

#164: Monkeybone

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/02/20

Have you ever wondered what the dark recesses of Brendan Fraser's brain look like? Apparently, it's a nightmarish world of strange creatures, mythological gods, and horny monkeys! Monkeybone, released Feb 23rd in 2001, is a very loose comic-book adaptation directed by Henry Selick (Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas). To say it suffers from an identity crisis is understating it. This movie really doesn't know what it wants to be, and while that makes for a very frustrating watch, it also makes for

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/02/13

We're going on summer vacation and saving the world with the gang from Recess: School's Out this week. It's a full-length movie based on the classic Disney cartoon which we aren't super nostalgic for but that doesn't matter, this movie was still very enjoyable! It's got great animation, silly plots to take over the world, and a radically psychedelic 60s soundtrack.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month!https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the

#162: Saving Silverman (with Jacob Sacher)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/02/06

Saving Silverman, also known as Evil Woman, is a movie about a bunch of awful people who all manipulate each other and get hurt in many physical and emotional ways. So, yknow, it's just a typical early 2000s teen comedy! We're joined by Jacob Sacher (Paul Noodle / Mr Yes and Mr No) to go through all the jokes and count exactly how many times we actually laughed.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month!https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodCheck out Jacob's food
