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

155 - Space Thunder Kids (1991?)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/07/31

Odds and Ends: Twisters saves movies, and T.J. thinks it's just a nice movie; Nick saw Longlegs, which is less nice; T.J. also gives a shoutout to The Watchers, which has all the Shyamalan trademarks, for better and for worseFeature Film: We're talking about the IFD oddity Space Thunder Kids, a hodgepodge anime thing that's actually eight other anime movies that are in themselves kind of rip-offs of other anime, and also there's like a dozen of these. How is that possible? No,

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/07/17

Odds and Ends: Robert Towne's Oscar-nominated dog; we're old and it's been a few minutes, so we talk about how cool things were before current year; we also finished some cool games and Josh asks for some of our best video game recommendationsFeature Film: We discuss the original adaptation of the literary classic, Lord of the Flies. It's our favorite subject to talk about - kids being killed! The twist here is that it's kids doing the killing as well. Speaking of, maybe Piggy

153 - Starship Troopers (1997) / Showgirls (1995)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/07/03

Odds and Ends: We have another good ol fashioned chat about AI, and we're still just as dumb about it as ever; there was a Nintendo Direct, and it was pretty dang niceFeature Film: In this Verhoeven double feature, we tackle some of his most well-known classics (though maybe not for the same reasons). We defend Elizabeth Berkley and ponder about Penny's From Heaven, and enjoy the wild camp and varying levels of satire in both flicks. T.J. also eventually reminisces about the Total Recall

152 - One From the Heart (1981) wsg Josh Matthews...

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/06/19

Odds and Ends: Are theaters actually dying? We provide thorough and very well-thought out opinions on it, and provide recent experiences on opposite ends of the spectrum. Nick's being a bad crowd during I Saw the TV Glow, and T.J.'s being a great crowd (meaning just him) for The Fall Guy.Feature Film: Josh returns yet again to talk about his first official normal guest rec, a lesser known Francis Coppola movie, One from the Heart. A sort-of musical that seems influential despite it's

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/06/05

Odds and Ends: Josh Matthews from the Learning About Movies Youtube channel returns yet again and talks about a project he's working on about A24 movies and asks us if there's any good ones out there; Nick watched the original Godzilla on the big screen, and T.J. watched the equally important Kraa the Sea MonsterFeature Film: We discuss the oddball (in many ways) romantic comedy Little Italy, which is purported to be one of the worst movies ever, or at least of its year, which we

150 - Spider-Man Trilogy (2002 - 2007)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/05/22

Odds and Ends: Happy birthday (again) to us! Only 3 years old, but that's pretty old in podcast years. We're probably old enough to vote by now, or at least watch PG-13 movies.Feature Films: Continuing our trilogy tradition for our anniversary episodes, we decided to revisit a trilogy from our childhoods, the original Spider-Man trilogy, directed by Sam Raimi. We somehow find a way to push past the memes (trust me, there's a lot) and talk about what these movies meant to us as kids,

149 - A History of Violence (2005)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/05/08

Odds and Ends: T.J. did a road trip for a movie called The People's Joker, and it was pretty cool; Nick checked out the proto-Nice Guys Shane Black movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and it was pretty cool; we go back to some classic Google movie news, and it was pretty cool; I don't really know where I'm going with that repetition, but it's too much work to delete it nowFeature Film: David Cronenberg visits again with his movie A History of Violence, and while it is lacking the body

147 - Mac & Me (1988)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/04/24

Odds and Ends: Reflecting on the inaugural Dud Month; T.J. is pleasantly surprised by The First Omen; Nick also feels positively and maybe of a surprised nature about the Fallout show, while T.J. hopes it has the Blast from the Past vibes he was getting from the trailers Feature Film: To cap off our month of duds, we talk about the iconic Mac & Me, featuring everyone's favorite 80's extra-terrestrial, Mac! With Coke, Skittles, and McDonald's on your side, who needs to be afraid of

146 - Would You Rather (2012)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/04/17

Odds and Ends: Nick gets triggered; T.J. raves about The Talented Mr. Ripley and, well, doesn't necessarily rave about the new Netflix adaptation; Nick catches up on some recent hits with Anatomy of a Fall and Dune Part 1Feature Film: We cover the questionably duddly Would You Rather, a horror movie of the "game of death" subgenre which T.J. is a particular fan of. A mixed bag of sorts, a real iffer, one that makes you ponder which you would prefer. Stuff like that, I guess. Next

145 - Gigli (2003)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/04/10

Odds and Ends: We did a Fortnight; T.J. watched the big lizard and large monkey fight movie; Nick started watched the proto-ITYSL Detroiters; we're both too afraid to finish The CurseFeature Film: We discuss the literal career-ending (justice for Martin Brest) train wreck that is Gigli, a movie that spent all it's money getting the expensive it-couple of the time Bennifer as their leads without bothering to check if they were, you know, good fits for the movie. Also features early-00s

144 - Sinister Squad (2016)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/04/03

Odds and Ends: The woke Youtube mob is cancelling us; Nick watched the The Boys spinoff show Gen V, and that's about it, we're in the middle of a movie contest, we didn't have time to watch stuff this weekFeature Film: We watch the secret bonus Suicide Squad movie, made by mockbuster studio The Asylum. Though we have a lot (a LOT) of questions about a... lot of aspects of the movie, it still might not be as bad as the movie it's riffing on. Next week's movie: Gigli

142 - Brokeback Mountain (2005)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/03/20

Odds and Ends: T.J. did an oopsie and his audio is kinda crummy for most of this episode, please shame him in the comments; a eulogy for an old video of T.J.'s that was removed from Youtube; we recap the Oscars ceremony, which was actually, hey, not too badFeature Film: Speaking of the Oscars, we talk about beloved best picture winner... oh, wait. Was it a great big fat mistake that year? Well, we talk about what probably most assuredly should've won that year, the devastating Brokeback

141 - The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/03/13

Odds and Ends: T.J. overanalyzes why he didn't fall in love with Dune Part 2, when maybe it's just because he didn't; Nick watched the "surprisingly vanilla" 50 Shades of Grey trilogyFeature Film: We cover a curious movie and all the insanity of the production behind it. From some bigheaded celebrities, to a studio with no faith in the director, to some crazy connections to it's source material. We also discuss the companion documentary "Lost Soul: The Doomed

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/03/07

Odds and Ends: Our friend Andy returns (kind of) and we talk about that lost episode we did with him a while ago; Nick talks about the worst theater viewing he's ever had; we bond over the shared experience of hiding podcasts and youtube videos we watch from our SOsFeature Film: Andy brings in another movie (or, for the first time... it's weird acting like he hasn't done this before)--- Andy brings in a movie for the very first time ever, The Standoff at Sparrow Creek. Despite it

139 - The Bad Pack (1997) wsg B-Movie Euphoria

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/02/29

Odds and Ends: Nick Villaire from the local B-Movie Euphoria stops by for a very unorthodox episode, so unorthodox that I don't have anything else for this part of the description, because this episode is all Bad Pack, all the time.Feature Film: Speaking of The Bad Pack, we watched The Bad Pack! Or rather, we are watching it, because we watch it during the episode. T.J. tries assigning all the characters their Seven Samurai counterpart, and we all talk about the understated influence of

138 - Kill List (2011)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/02/22

Odds and Ends: The pandemic was kinda tight, a little bit?; Saxon Sharbinathon; Nick watched the bizarre Lair of the White Worm, which spurs on T.J.'s nostalgia for the BBC Narnia movies; T.J. did a double feature of Alive and Society of the Snow, and thinks it'd be really cool to go hiking in the Andes Feature Film: Ben Wheatley's Kill List, a one part drama, one part thriller, one part horror flick. T.J. pitches a theory about how this connects to the TV show Utopia while Nick

137 - Valentine's Day (2010)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/02/15

Odds and Ends: Gooning with the Apple Goggles; Nick follows theme by talking about the recent romcom Anyone But You, while T.J.... doesn't by bringing in an old survival docudrama series called I Shouldn't Be Alive Feature Film: Literally just because this episode comes out on Valentine's Day, we talk about Garry Marshall's movie called Valentine's Day. A movie we surely would have despised more when it came out, but as we've gone soft in our old age, we think it's

136 - Stoker (2013)

There Will Be Duds ·

2024/02/08

Odds and Ends: Actor awareness with Lewis Saunderson; Going out on a limb here, but Terminator 2 is a pretty good action movie; T.J. begins working his way through the Oscar nominated movies, starting with Poor Things and The Zone of Interest Feature Film: Checking back in with Park Chan-wook, and he's up to his usual... stuff. The only English language movie as of yet from the director, Stoker is a mostly standard thriller type thing elevated by some good filmmaking. And some other stuff, I
