We've made it through another year, so we're celebrating by taking a break from watching bad movies.  As we close in on 2026, we take time to look back and reflect on the year that was 2025 and look ahead to next year. 

It's our final Christmas-themed episode before we wrap up 2025, and we've gone the Netflixmas route, with the brand new A Merry Little Ex-Mas, starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson.  Join us as we discuss our love for Alicia Silverstone and Melissa Joan Hart, celebrate gay grandpas, and talk about the lack of stakes in a film that wants us to like everyone. 

We check in on the psychosis of a filmmaker we've watched previously, as we take in A Wrestling Christmas Miracle, the spiritual sequel to A Karate Christmas Miracle. This is a film that could only be brought to us by the twisted mind of Ken Del Vecchio (no relation).  Join us as we discuss all the accents, the Congo revolution subplot, and dive into Ken Del Vecchio's disturbing filmography. 

It's a Christmas miracle: a dog that doesn't bark.  We're kicking off the holiday season with a movie about a labrador and the family that mistakenly thinks labradors make good guard dogs. It's The Dog Who Saved Christmas this week to start December's month-long holiday movie-watching.  Join us as we discuss Kevin James's brother taking a bath with a dog, Dean Cain vs Mario Lopez, and even some fan theories about Home Alone. 

We're taking a break this week to celebrate Thanksgiving, but we wanted to leave you with something, so we're unlocking one of our Patreon exclusive episodes so you can hear what you're missing if you're not already a subscriber.  For Movie Blind Spots, we each picked a movie we've been meaning to see but haven't gotten around to yet and finally checked them off the list.  This time around, Dan is talking about the Hayao Miyazaki classic, Princess Mononoke, Mark watches the 2020 Best Picture Winner, Parasite, and Anthony watches the contemporary horror film, Barbarian.

It's our November Movie of the Month Episode, as selected by our Patreon subscribers!  This month, we are counter-programming No Nut November, by choosing to watch erotic thrillers in what we're calling "Go Nut November".  This month's Patron poll wound up ending in a tie, so we decided to watch both movies and discuss them together.  We're watching Angel Eyes starring Penthouse Pet Monique Gabrielle and Titanic 2000, starring green screen backgrounds.  Join us as we discuss the thin line between erotic thriller and softcore pornography, the awful acting across the board, and the failed comedy of at least one of the movies. 

We're going through a midlife crisis as we watch John De Hart's entry into the black tank top subgenre of vanity projects, as we watch Champagne and Bullets AKA Road to Revenge AKA GetEven on this week's episode.  Join us as we discuss the absolute fear on John De Hart's face, forcing Playboy Playmates to do nude scenes, and the Shimmy Slide. 

This week, we're joining William Shatner as he tries to stop a roving infestation of deadly tarantulas in Kingdom of the Spiders from 1977.  Join us as we discuss the similarities to Arachnophobia, tarantula genocide, and William Shatner's persona on and off screen.

Happy Halloween! It's our very special Movie of the Month landing right on All Hallow's Eve. And this special episode wouldn't be complete without a guest, so we have Steve from https://open.spotify.com/show/4IGa2WO4Ag3HJyO0gN1GRS?si=3ae31c11cd6b4a63 to help us talk about our October Movie of the Month, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, as voted on by our Patrons.  Join us as we discuss the many timelines of the Halloween franchise, the diminishing returns of Michael's mask, and compare this movie to the other contemporary slashers of the late 90s.  Want to get in on the fun and help us decide next month's Movie of the Month?
