Five Dollar Tuesdays Podcast

Reviewing newly released movies from the perspective of seeing it for only 5 dollars! They're still bad, but not as bad as 16 dollar movies. We also occasionally watch a movie we actually like so we don't get burned out on this endeavor.

They Live: Capitalism, Cocaine Promos, and Alleyway Brawls
We gave up waiting five months for Shawn to let us watch his precious Blu-ray and tackled John Carpenter’s They Live this Halloween season. Armed with an unhinged wrestling icon, a punk rock attitude, and a fifteen-minute alleyway brawl over basic eyewear, it turns out an 80s B-movie understood our brain-rotted, ad-choked dystopia far better than we do. Put the damn glasses on, obey, and hit play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I, Robot (2004): Janky CGI & the Invention of JerkDash
We sat through two hours of 2004's I, Robot so you never have to catch it on cable again. We break down Will Smith’s leather-clad boomer era, draining Lake Michigan for data centers, and how a generic sci-fi mystery could have done something more interesting like predicting the future of "JerkDash" delivery. Come for the blockbuster slander, stay for Wilson confusing Glen Powell with the Secretary of State. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TMNT (1990 and 2014): There's No Secret in This Ooze
Drowning their motion-sickness in Twisted Tea, Lee, Wilson and Shawn tear into the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a nauseating, piss-green, ad-riddled cash grab featuring terrifying CGI monsters, a completely unbothered Megan Fox, and a general contempt for children's intelligence- all while longing for the charm, patience, and actual heart of the 1990 original.

LITERALLY DESTROYED: An Under Siege Review
In this episode, the boys take a deep dive into 'Under Siege'—allegedly Steven Seagal's finest work. You'll learn about Seagal's questionable acting chops, Tommy Lee Jones' over-the-top villain role, and of course, Gary Busey in drag. In the end, the boys grapple with why producers thought Seagal could ever be a leading action star, and come to the surprising conclusion that this 'Die-Hard-on-a-boat' spectacle is a decent movie in spite of him. So grab a beer and join the boys in the garage—it's an adventure, man! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
