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

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/08/30

Odds and Ends: Some undiscovered bands get second chances; Nick finished the most recent season of The Righteous Gemstones and moved on to Futurama, then we talk about Old again, for some reason Feature Film: You like a lil Biskit? Hopefully you do, because we're talking about Fred Durst's infamous The Fanatic, starring a very John Travolta at his most Nic Cagey this side of Face/Off.

111 - From The Vault: GameCube Retrospective Part 1

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/08/16

Hello from the past! You’re looking at a brand spanking new old episode, and we decided to stick with the Vault moniker for them. We’re now using these to venture outside of our normal fare and discuss other things we like. First up is a dive into the Nintendo Gamecube. Moreso a personal experience exchange rather than an overall general history of the console, we talk about what makes it so dang special to us and why it’s one of our favorite gaming consoles of all time. And also Gex, because you

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/08/09

Odds and Ends: Josh returns to the show as our special guest host; topical as ever, we talk about the origins of the cybertruck; Nick watched a bunch of Youtube videos that call themselves a movie; one of T.J.'s favorite shows is back for one final season; Josh talks about his favorite movies of 2023 (so far) Feature Film: We discuss the cult classic (and one of Josh's favorites) Dark City, a movie that many would accuse of being a Matrix rip-off, if it didn't come out before the

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/08/02

Odds and Ends: Dr. Josh Matthews from the Learning About Movies channel on Youtube joins us this week; Moose watches a Die Hard, and the rest of us did our due diligence as moviegoers and had a Barbieheimer weekend Feature Film: We're mad as hell for Sidney Lumet's "Network." Well, most of us are. The ones who are proper film critics and have the true, correct opinion on all movies. The other just has... their own opinion. Is that what being woke is? Am I now just like Howard

108 - 2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus (2021)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/07/26

Odds and Ends: More Sound of Freedom bullshit; we sort of cover the Emmy noms; T.J. talks Tom; Nick started reading a weird book, and T.J. watched a weird short film Feature Film: We discuss a record setting film in being bad, 2025 The World Enslaved by a Virus. Can you guess what it's about? Because it kind of isn't that, actually. But maybe it is. No one really knows. Not even the writers! That's what makes it... fun? Sure.

107 - Police Story (1985)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/07/19

Odds and Ends: Nick watches an old favorite and a newer non-favorite (it's fine); T.J. saw the new Indiana Jones, but really just wants to see Sound of Freedom Feature Film: We talk about the Jackie Chan classic, Police Story. Full of crazy stunts, charming comedy, and many many many panes of broken glass. It's a pretty simple movie, so we go on a few tangents, but just go with it.

106 - Sunset Boulevard (1950)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/07/12

Odds and Ends: We talk about Tears of the Kingdom before basically every episode now, but this time we kept it in! T.J. talks about the newest season of Black Mirror, as well as the real world equivalent he's been noticing; Nick got swept up in a new creepypasta, another Cormac McCarthy book, and a 90s classic (well, depending on who you ask) Feature Film: The legendary Sunset Boulevard is our movie this week! And, well, despite recognizing it as the iconic movie it is and the place it has in

105 - The Favourite (2018)

There Will Be Duds ·

Not in a bad way! In a... good way? The main characters are all gay. And that is okay. Wouldn't you say? I'm gonna

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/06/28

103 - The Third Man (1949)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/06/21

Odds and Ends: T.J.’s not racist, BUT…; one of our recent conspiracy theories may become reality sooner than expected; we talk about music and how cool we are for having record players Feature Film: We all go cuckoo over the classic noir “The Third Man,” featuring babyfaced Orson Welles and a lot of Spongebob music.

2023/06/14

Odds and Ends: Octogenarian Al Pacino is gonna be a dad; T.J. watched a movie on Moose’s recommendation and has a few words for Moose; Nick started watching another old HBO show, and Moose started a less old Duds favorite Feature Film: Don Coscarelli's cult classic Bubba Ho-Tep inspires much deeper discussion than we were expecting. Is any of that discussion actually about the movie? Kinda? We talk about the different ways a movie can be a "drama," our history with Bruce Campbell, and

101 - The Nice Guys (2016)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/06/07

Odds and Ends: In this episode of "There Will Be Duds," the hosts hand the mic over to ChatGPT for reviews.

Experience the fascinating interplay between human creativity and artificial intelligence in this entertaining and thought-provoking episode! Feature Film: Help me!

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/05/31

Odds and Ends: It's our 100th episode (just in case you couldn't tell from the episode title), and to celebrate, we get a little bit silly, and later on play some Duds-centric trivia. Thanks for watching/listening, and here's to... at least a few more. Feature Films: A trilogy by and about the granddaddy of dud cinema, Ed Wood! We talk about two very different movies of his (Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 from Outer Space) and have a very difficult time doing a proper judgement of one of

99 - Memento (2000)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/05/24

Odds and Ends: We try to talk about the WGA strike, but you can probably find a more nuanced and informative discussion about it elsewhere, why are you here?; T.J. cried at the raccoon movie, again Feature Film: Christopher Nolan's breakout time and mind-bending thriller "Memento." It's about a guy who can't remember stuff, and the original title was "Remembo." I can't really remember anything we talked about here. Ironic, or just pathetic? Maybe... both? Next

Odds and Ends: Somehow, we end up talking about AI again via Blake Shelton and The Voice; Blood Meridian is maybe finally I guess getting a film adaptation; T.J. is A-fan of Beau is Afraid, and now I is A-hatingmyselfformakingthatjoke Feature Film: Another cult classic, Tremors! A monster movie with a lot of heart, but even more tongues. Next week's movie: Memento (2000) You can join the conversation every Wednesday at 7pm EST on Twitch and Youtube!

97 - Kung Pow! Enter the Fist (2002)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/05/10

Odds and Ends: More uninformed AI talk, maybe we should just call us "There Will Be Singularity"... yeah, that's really good; T.J. had a very polarized double feature in theaters; we dig on Bruno the Kid, and Bruce the Willis Feature Film: WEEEWOOOOO're talking about a childhood favorite of some of ours, Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, by thumbation auteur Steve Odekerk. A feature-length shitpost that features some pretty neat proto-deepfake-like rotoscoping, this movie is sure to

96 - Miller's Crossing (1990)

There Will Be Duds ·

2023/05/03

Odds and Ends: Simulation theory by way of Adventure Time; Nick watched (and read) some stuff, including the newest season of Barry; T.J. watched two pretty good John Carpenter movies, as well as one... not so good Feature Film: What's the rumpus? Uhh, it's Miller's Crossing! It's a movie about crime from the Coen brothers. Really stepping outside their comfort zone with this one.
