Bad Gary Judge Bubby

     This week a rogue selection brings PET.... JUST-ICE! and a normal pick plumbs the depths of psychological mental abuse in the way only Australia can.
     Having been kept his whole life in a room with only his mother and Jesus for company, convinced the outside world is poison, he is totally unprepared to be tossed out into the wide world. But that's the consequence for being a Bad Boy Bubby.
     Delivering justice for domesticated furry friends as only he can... with surreal asides and dives towards the edge of madness that is built on strong emotions of love and anger. Gary Busey: Pet Judge 
     All that and Craig asks the big questions about the nature of man, Tyler decides that there is no true justice, Kevin wonders if the social agreements that we call justice will ever reach a point of the fairness and equality that we like to pretend it has, and Dave forgets which sewer he left his third secret family in.

She's All Matt

     Everything's coming up Tyler as we dive into two films he deeply loves. Because we might hate ourselves a little.
     A late 90s teenage romantic comedy that makes eyes at being self-aware and having something to say but then dodges all of that by embracing the tropes without hesitation or thought. It's possible She's All That but the movie probably isn't.
     The second feature from a director of singular vision. In a world where the elite are safe on a space station and everyone else lives in a Mad Maxclone if it was made by Paul Schrader, a lone white guy will rise up to save the day for all the... you know... I get it means well but there's some problematic shit here. Movies like this thinking they are saying something is why humanity will never run the fields of Elysium.
     All that and Dave weeps again, Tyler tries to convert you to his doomsday cult, Kevin takes up dance instruction for seniors, and Craig gleefully plots against us all. Join us, won't you?

Murder Most Fowl

     This week the return of a prolific auteur and Disney's latest butchery of a beloved modern YA classic.
     Travel back with us to 1989 when David  DeCoteau had a still nice but much smaller house. The days when he would invite scream queens and their friends over to make movies in a weekend. Okay, he still totally does that but this is before he found his true niche. It doesn't make a lot of sense how Lyle Waggoner is there. Help us try to find the why of Murder Weapon.
     The House of the Mouse has a long history of buying and then completely messing up well loved and known YA properties. After the ear fucking they gave Ella Enchanted trying to make it Shrek and the long weekend they kept Percy Jackson and the Olympians locked in Goofy's sex dungeon until poor Percy lost all sense of self and tried desperately to be "Harry Potter Jr"... they finally unleash their version of Artemis Fowl. SPOILERS- Your kid will hate you for making them watch it and you will hate yourself for having Disney+.... remember when everyone loved that Baby Yoda and thought signing their life away to Mickey was the best idea ever? 
     All that and Kevin lets his classy habits go to his head, Tyler makes his own private oasis in Idaho, Dave wonders what sin against her agent could Judi Dench possibly have committed, and Craig finally gets a Texas catheter. Join us, won't you?
