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

2025/04/02

Odds and Ends: We talk about Harmony Korine's new experiment in griefing via film; T.J. saw the newest Paddington movie, and a new adaptation (sort of) of Breaking BadFeature Film: We kick off another Dud month with the infamous Norbit, featuring some of the most irritating characters ever put to the screen. Even though T.J. has some weird affinity for the detestable Rasputia, queen of whores. We veer off topic for a while here and discuss just how not very good SNL is.Next week's movie:

174 - Waking Ned Devine

There Will Be Duds ·

2025/03/19

Odds and Ends: Our Oscars recap; we saw a gimmick movie; Nick questions T.J.'s Letterboxd top 4Feature Film: We talk about our sorta St. Patrick's Day movie, Waking Ned Devine, another movie that feels like a fantasy world that in actuality is just a quaint UK town. It's a nice enough movie and all, but T.J. just wants to talk about the political and economic state of the world right now.Next week's movie: Norbit (2007)You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

173 - The Last Temptation of Christ

There Will Be Duds ·

2025/03/06

Odds and Ends: A documentary about Prince gets shut down for trying to be interesting; Nick watched the new movie Companion, and T.J. watched the slightly-less new show Scavengers ReignFeature Film: We check out another movie by Marty and local guy Paul, about the guy from Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. There's a lot of dumb controversies around this movie, just ignore them and enjoy the movie.Next week's movie: Waking Ned Devine (1998)You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST!

172 - The Cat in the Hat

There Will Be Duds ·

2025/02/20

Odds and Ends: There's a LOT of Oscar drama happening, and probably even more since we recorded this; T.J. saw the epicly badass and so cool Flight Risk, while Nick finally checked out Hundreds of BeaversFeature Film: We watch another movie from the time where they thought it was a good idea to make children's movies as ugly as possible. The Cat isn't even the worst part, have you seen the Things? Have you seen Spencer Breslin? This movie is so not good that we have a Smash Mouth tangent for a

171 - The Fall

There Will Be Duds ·

2025/02/06

Odds and Ends: We are super jazzed about the present day, yessiree; We recap some of our 2024 first watches highs and lowsFeature Film: Tarsem Singh's epic The Fall, shot over 4 years in 28 different countries, is one of those "you gotta see it to believe it" type movies. So hopefully you watched it, because this is a podcast! Wocka wocka! Unless you're watching the video version, then ignore this. Maybe close your eyes for this episode, please. I need to preserve this joke, I

170 - Withnail and I

There Will Be Duds ·

2025/01/23

Odds and Ends: We share our thoughts on the Golden Globes and what they mean for the rest of awards season, as well as touch on a particular fun... thing about the director of one of the big winners. We also both saw the new Nosferatu, so we talk about that. That's kind of the thing with this show, if you didn't know by now.Feature Film: The UK cult classic Withnail and I, an earlier slacker comedy style movie. Features lots of gross-adjacent stuff and miserable-adjacent locales, yet

169 - American Gigolo

There Will Be Duds ·

2025/01/09

Odds and Ends: T.J. presents a pretty grim conspiracy theory; we finally watch some Christmas (adjacent) movies, just in time for, well, JanuaryFeature Film: We check in with Paul Schrader again to see how he's doing. He's doing fine, thanks. He just always makes movies about these lonely and despondent guys, so I'm a little concerned. He says he's okay, but I don't know him that well so he could just be faking. Also, I've never actually met or spoken to him before, so actually, wait, who was

168 - Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/12/26

Odds and Ends: Why not honor the end of the year by having another discussion about AI and physical media preservation? We also talk about Hot Frosty, and other not-actually-that-bad Hallmark-esque Christmas movies. There's not a lot.Feature Film: We try to discern the baffling Christmas TV special that is clearly vying for holiday classic status, but uhh... isn't that. Headed by an all-star voice cast and one of the ugliest animation styles you will ever see, this is at least not one you'll

168 - The Happiness of the Katakuris

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/12/12

Odds and Ends: January might not be a dump month next year? Nick read a new book by one of his favorite authors and has something to say about it; We watched a bunch of new movies! Look at us!Feature Film: We return to India (or more specifically, Japan) yet again to watch another Takashi Miike movie. This time, the very unique Happiness of the Katakuris, a musical of the strangest sort, with zombies and claymation galore. Next week's movie: Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa You can

166 - When Harry Met Sally...

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/11/28

Odds and Ends: We try to prepare for a very special music festival coming to our hometown; Nick finally played Metroid Dread, which means T.J. can blather on about inane bullshit for 30 minutes. So what's new?Feature Film: The rom-com classic (and potential Fall vibes classic?) When Harry Met Sally (with three dots at the end), a charming lil thing about some charming lil people.

165 - The Game

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/11/14

Odds and Ends: While this episode is after Halloween, us recording it weren't, so we're still talking about horror movies. Namely the very recent Trap, the opposite of very recent Nostferatu, and T.J. talks about some of the VHS movies.Feature Film: We talk about a forgotten Fincher, The Game. Well, I wouldn't say it's "forgotten," really, but compared to the rest of his movies, it's the forgotten one, don't you think? Like, Alien 3 is a more well-known movie because of it being attached to that

164 - Sleepaway Camp & Return to Sleepaway Camp

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/10/30

Odds and Ends: The Uzumaki show is all wrapped up, as is another spooky season. Also, T.J.'s computer took a dump so there's no video for almost all of this (except movie clips).Feature Film: Nick recommended a double dud to close out our horror month, the first and last movies in the Sleepaway Camp series! Both classics in... a certain way, one of which we deliberate over its dud status. If you like the shortest shorts and a bunch of child death like we do, these are the movies for you. Next

163 - World Apartment Horror

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/10/23

Odds and Ends: We talk about the big sack boys, I mean the Detroit Lions, and how they've got such great sacks; Nick watched and older spooky flick, and T.J. watched a bunch of new onesFeature Film: Once again we chat about a Japanese horror, though the horror in this one is almost just in name only. From a trio of anime legends, we get... a live-action movie! That is impossible to find a decent version of! Maybe anywhere! It seems pretty unknown! But it's neat! Next week's movie: Sleepaway

162 - Cure

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/10/16

Odds and Ends: It's been a couple weeks, so it's time for another conversation about AI, but we also talk about the dead internet theory (and dead Steak and Shakes); Nick revisits a favorite from his youth; T.J. is otaku'd-up and talks about two more Japanese moviesFeature Film: Nick's horror recommendation is Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure,a sort of horror, sort of detective movie about, well, killings and stuff, but also... there's a lot of this that went over our heads. But we think we got it. So

161 - Kwaidan

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/10/09

Odds and Ends: Nick unknowingly invokes a curse that we try to use for good, but might backfire accidentally; Even though we're still putting off our Uzumaki talk, we still do a little Junji Ito dive; Nick watched a Tim Burton movie that's not Beetlejuice, and T.J. thinks you should give the alternate version of Alien 3 a try (no, really)Feature Film: A Japanese horror classic about weird people with blackened teeth and fattened gullets from the food they take from the poor, and also some

160 - Lake Mungo (2008) & Late Night with the Devil...

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/10/02

Odds and Ends: Spooky season is upon us , which means that Brat summer is over, but not for T.J.; Our cats have some valuable inputFeature Film: Our horrorspondent Chris returns for yet another double feature with two more movies in the found footage and analog horror realms, the cult classic Lake Mungo and the recent hit Late Night with the Devil! Both provide very different experiences, yet have an odd connecting thread. Next week's movie: Kwaidan (1965) You can join the conversation every

159 - Leonard Part 6

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/09/25

Odds and Ends: T.J. needs to eat sometimes, so he mukbangs (does a mukbang? is mukbanging?) during this episode, sorry about that; the Beetlejuice sequel is pretty good, and gave T.J. an idea for a better usage of deepfake AI tech in movies Feature Film: We discuss the oddity of Leonard Part 6, a Bill Cosby movie that has been reviled long before, well, recentish events. But we maybe don't think it's actually as atrocious as it's made out to be, maybe? It's not, like, good or anything, but it's

158 - The 13th Warrior (1999) wsg Luke Ferris

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/09/11

Odds and Ends: Luke from the Least Important Things podcast returns; We discuss the recent few entries in the Alien franchiseFeature Film: Luke recommended another Crichton Classic/Crap (take your pick) with the Antonio Banderas-led The 13th Warrior. It is definitely one of those things that is a movie, that is for sure. At least if the movie isn't great, you can look at Antonio in his peak BandEra. Next week's movie: Leonard Part 6 (1987) You can join the conversation every Wednesday

157 - What We Do In The Shadows (2014)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/08/28

Odds and Ends: T.J.'s back from another Gen Con with another screening of one of our short films; David Lynch is sick, and also sick; We like HBO shows so much that we'll start calling it Max if they ask really nicelyFeature Film: We discuss a Kiwi comedy classic, What We Do in the Shadows, by a couple of the guys who worked on Flight of the Conchords. It's a mockumentary comedy-horror that has been very inspirational to our own videos and comedy styles. It's also just a very

156 - Sherlock Jr. (1924) / The General (1926) wsg...

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/08/14

Odds and Ends: We answer a viewer question (that viewer is me) about what movie titles bother us; also, our beloved sidepod The Boys Will Be The Boys is back in town... which really just means we talked about the newest season of The BoysFeature Film: We talk about a couple classics of the silent era from one of the giants, Sherlock Jr. and The General. T.J. used the excuse of it being the 100-year anniversary of the former, but really, he just wanted to talk about these and Buster Keaton on the
