Episode 120 - Another Freshitravaganza Show

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2020/01/13

We took a few weeks off and now we’re back, refreshed and not quite ready. Um… we didn’t really prep a real topic this round because we kinda suck. Instead, we offer yet another show-length version of our Fresh Shit segment, full of all the movies and television we’ve consumed over the hiatus. It is chock full of arbitrary opinions, audience pandering, and a whole lot of word salad! Hear Chris foam at the mouth about the insanely fun new Netflix show, The Witcher! Listen to Brian try to recount

Episode 119 - 2019 Endgame: A Year in Review

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/12/30

2019 was the Endgamiest year on record! Here’s all we could muster the energy to talk about - from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs, and all that other junk in between. For us, it was a meh end to the Terrible Teens - a year with a few bits that exceeded expectations, and a whole bunch more that landed with a giant thud on the Pile of Disappointments. We got movies, TV shows, politics, and celebrity deaths galore! Plus, our arbitrary top picks and pans for the year that was are sure to

Episode 118 - Attack Of The Roland Emmerich

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/12/23

Roland Emmerich: A director whose career is marked by huge aspirations, enormous spectacle, and an amazing track record of success considering no one admits liking his work. Clint Eastwood is still mistakenly thought of as a genius for making sloppy, boring biographical dramas, but Roland Emmerich's genius is all but ignored despite a filmography that includes the destruction of the Earth FOUR TIMES. Is he formulaic? Yes. Is his dialogue laughably stupid? You betcha. But he's a B movie filmmaker

Episode 117 - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/12/16

When it comes to Christmas specials that define the fabric of the holiday season, few are as vital (or strange) as the Rankin/Bass stop-motion acid trip classic, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It has aired every single year since 1964, which is astonishing. Even more astonishing is the fact that this “Christmas Classic” has very little to do with actual Christmas. It features a Yeti, a crazy mountain man with a pick-axe fetish, and a gender-fluid elf named Hermey who just wants to be a dentist.

Episode 116 - Knives Out

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/12/09

Join us for our hot take on the star-studded Rian Johnson (The Last Jedi, Brick) whodunit that has single handedly reinvigorated the cable-knit sweater industry - Knives Out. Beware of spoilers here, because we definitely tell you that it was Mrs. Peacock in the library with the candlestick. Wait, wrong mystery-comedy…but trust us, this one is damn fun. It will keep you guessing to the very end when you find out it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the revolver… Wait, still not the

Episode 115 - James Bond: The Worst Is Not Enough

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/12/02

It’s the holidays, and that means watching every Bond film, one after another. Holidays without Bond is like Thanksgiving without turkey, like rain without clouds, like sex without a finger in your butt. While that metaphor is rolling around in your head, consider just how much some Bond films… well… are kind of crap. This episode explores which Bond film is the second worst of the bunch. We didn’t bother looking at the actual worst Bond film, because everyone knows it’s “Die Another Day.” Too easy

Episode 114 - Happy Stanksgiving

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/11/25

Let’s talk turkeys, because this round we’re giving thanks for movies that stank! Yup, that’s right…we gorge ourselves on empty calorie entertainment that we should hate on pure principle. These movies may be dumb, but we still love them in spite of our better judgment. Join us as we explore a handful of films that are not only so-bad-they’re-good, but so-bad-they’re-beyond-awesome. It’s arbitrary and asinine, but that’s pretty much what this entire podcast is about. Ain’t no shame in this game

Episode 113 - They Live, We Podcast

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/11/18

We have come here to chew bubblegum and make a podcast to celebrate John Carpenter's 1988 B-movie classic, They Live. And we are all out of bubblegum. If you don't know this film, then dammit, go watch it! For everyone else, try not to focus too much on the fact that its message remains depressingly relevant 31 years later. But at least it has the best fight scene ever filmed. Don't question that, it is just a fact. OBEY CONSUME STAY ASLEEP BUY SUBMIT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST. | 0:00 -

Episode 112 - One Good Song

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/11/12

Can you think of ONE GOOD SONG by an artist or band you otherwise despise? That is a challenge, one we found to be deceptively difficult. Seriously, please don’t expect us to defend anything by Nickelback. Or Creed. Or Ed Sheeran. Luckily, those are all indefensible and we won’t waste your time. But that doesn’t mean we don’t make the case for a few other songs that we actually enjoy from artists that normally make us want to drive icepicks into our earholes.* Even a shite band can rise above

Episode 111 - Star Trek, Too: The Wrath of Con

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/11/04

Another Star Trek show? You’re damn right, because Star Trek is a touchstone of American geek pop culture. And if you don’t like it, you probably had a girlfriend in high school. But so what? Let’s talk 90s era Trek: from Next Generation to Deep Space Nine to Voyager, plus the movies, a smidge of Enterprise, wack-a-doodle timelines, and the short-lived United Paramount Network... because money eventually ruins everything. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:09 - Zombieland: Double-Tap (2019) | 8:10 - The

Episode 110 - Scorsese V. Marvel

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/10/28

Martin Scorsese recently went on record to state that superhero movies – more specifically, Marvel movies – are “not cinema” and nothing more than “amusement park rides.” To the legendary filmmaker behind movie classics like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas & Raging Bull we only have this to say: Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man. But one thing is certain, he touched a nerve with filmgoers and started a worthy conversation about the state of the cineplex today. He maybe didn’t choose the best

Episode 109 - Horror Comedies

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/10/21

It’s the annual ham-fisted #MagHuge attempt at a Halloween-themed show as we scare up some laughs with a bloody awful talk about horror comedies! It’s monsters, zombies, vampires and homicidal, ax-wielding woodsmen galore in a parade of classic films that took the normal fright tropes and added some killer jokes that always make us smile in between the gruesome deaths. Plus, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special from 1976 gets a hot take! So take off that cheap plastic mask, grab a handful of your

Episode 108 - Heat (1995)

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/10/14

Do you like heists? Guns? Method actors? Method actors playing coked up characters? Method actors getting coked up and chewing scenery while doing heists and shooting a LOT of guns? Have we got a movie for you! This week the #MagHuge crew revisits the 1995 Michael Mann crime classic “Heat” starring Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmer, and pretty much everyone else who was awesome in the mid-90s. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:11 - Redd Kross | 6:23 - Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) | 12:09 - Star Trek:

Episode 106 - Barbarians, Boobs, Swords & Sorcery:...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/09/30

Grab your broadsword, put on your loincloth, oil up those abs, and prepare for a magical journey into peak 1980’s Sword & Sorcery movies! From 1980-1985, this nudity-filled, blood-soaked Fantasy subgenre was all the rage thanks to the early success of studio offerings like Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian. While these titles brought a veneer of credibility to the genre, it was soon overrun by increasingly terrible low-budget/no-budget Conan clones. Still, each film was brimming with everything

Episode 105 - That’s Overrated!

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/09/24

The Office was better left in the UK. Rocky is schlocky. Nintendo Gameboy was an overpriced Tetris brick. The Godfather is...boring. Terminator 2 is big, dumb & loud. This week, we press a few buttons and go after a few sacred cows when we take a cold, hard look at some things our culture has elevated into legendary status and ask: Were they ever really any good? | 0:00 - Intros | 3:45 - Dave Chappelle - Equanimity / The Bird Revelation (Netflix, 2017) | 5:17 - Bill Burr - Paper Tiger

Episode 104 - The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/09/15

Where are we going? Planet 10! When? Real soon! Yes, the MagHuge team finally gets around to the uber-geek cult classic to end all uber-geek cult classics: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! This gem was ignored when released to theaters in June of 1984, but soon found an audience on home video who discovered a unique sci-fi/comedy/action/adventure epic about a famous neurosurgeon/physicist/test-pilot/rock-musician and his team of specialized misfits who become

Episode 103 - Strangers With John Candy

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/09/09

John Candy created some very iconic comedy moments during his career. Blues Brothers. Stripes. Vacation. Splash. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Spaceballs. Uncle Buck. Home Alone. SCTV. That’s quite a run. But take a closer look - from his early SCTV days through his final role in 1994 - and you'll find a staggeringly uneven filmography. We hate to admit it, but all those classic movies we love are balanced by a lot of stinkers. But it’s a lot of stinkers wherein John Candy still

Episode 102 - Chumba One Hit Wonder Wumbas (90s Songz)

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/08/26

Music in the 1990s was about a lot more than just flannel shirts. Well, it was about a little more than that, anyway. In the days before Napster and Apple Music, bands could still make a living putting out a crappy album with one good song. This week, we’re taking a look at the best and the worst of the 90s one-hit wonders. Because on a podcast, a show about music is about more than just songs - it’s about click bait. I’m too sexy!

Episode 101 - Solid #2’s: Superior Sequels

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/08/19

How many sequels are legitimate improvements over the movie they spawned from? Let’s face it, most are pointless exercises in redundancy and made to be straight up cash grabs. They typically lack whatever alchemy drew us to the original in the first place. Producers merely slap a big 2 on the title and call it a day, then count the receipts But every so often a sequel comes along that actually improves upon the first one in unexpected ways - bigger, better, stronger, faster… But finding a

Episode 100 - A Very Special TV Crossover Podcast Event

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2019/08/12

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing an episode of CSI: Miami co-starring The Golden Girls caught up in a drug cartel murder, have we got a show for YOU! That’s right, we’re delving into the world of ill-conceived television show crossovers. What is a TV Crossover? That’s when characters from two distinct shows wind up forcibly coexisting within a single combined storyline that ultimately diminishes anything you ever liked about either program. But be careful what you wish for, superfans. Teaming
