Jack Frost (1998)

066 - We've got a theme for you this month... You'll figure it out eventually, but let's just say that snow and the holiday's play a part in it. We're kicking things off with a not so classic 90s movie... Jack Frost, the 1998 variety.

Synopsis: A father who can't keep his promises, dies in a car accident. One year later, he returns as a snowman, who has the final chance to put things right with his son, before he is gone forever.

Possessor Uncut

065 - We're back to indie movies produced by no less fifteen companies. That's right, no wannabe summer blockbusters for us! Nope, instead we're going to go to high concept, low execution with beautiful, beautiful blood.

Synopsis:

Possessor follows an agent who works for a secretive organization that uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies - ultimately driving them to commit assassinations for high-paying clients.

The New Mutants

064 - 2020 wouldn't be complete without the release of The New Mutants! That's right, what could be better than a movie filmed in 2017, shelved for a year and reshot, then shelved for a year and finally released because Disney had nothing in the tank and needed to take a chance on something associated with Marvel... loosely associated with Marvel.

True Lies

063 - Are you ready to ride a horse off a hotel skyscraper to capture a terrorist? If not, then you're not ready for True Lies the 1994 mega hit pairing those two dudes from the Terminator series. This movie is long, our podcast is barely longer... if you've listened to our show before you know what the means. If this is your first episode, then you're in for a treat!

Synopsis:

A fearless, globe-trotting, terrorist-battling secret agent has his life turned upside down when he discovers his wife might be having an affair with a used-car salesman while terrorists smuggle nuclear war heads into the United States.

The Craft Legacy

062 - We end our spooktacular month of Halloweenish movies is the brand spanking new Blumhouse edition of The Craft... Legacy. It's a sequel of sorts, but for a new audience... maybe. There's a lot up in the air for this drama, thriller full of teen angst and just about any hashtag you could type. We talk for three hours, which will likely tell you everything you need to know before clicking play. Enjoy!

Synopsis:

A group of high school students form a coven of witches. A sequel to the 1996 film, "The Craft".

Fright Night (1985)

061 - Continuing our Halloween horror movie shows is 1985's Fright Night! Ah yeah, some OG vamps, killing, sucking blood, afraid of crosses... not running in the snow and pretending to be the goddamn X-Men or whatever the fuck that glitter shit was. Anyway, we're back in the 80s, its Halloween time, let's go!

Synopsis:

A teenager discovers that the newcomer in his neighborhood is a vampire, so he turns to an actor in a television horror show for help dealing with the undead.

In The Mouth of Madness

060 - We continue the month of October with more horror and thrillers! We're taking on the Halloween grandfather's In The Mouth of Madness! That's right, we're getting meta... and shit as we take a trip to Hobb's End with that guy from the dino park movies. But the real question is, do you read Sutter Kane?

Friday The 13th (2009)

059 - Welcome! It's Halloween time and while The Platform was a bit of a horrorish movie, we're really kicking off October with 2009's Friday The 13th. Why? Don't ask hard questions, instead ask why we talked about it for three hours... I'm wondering how that happened (and let us know if these shows need to be shorter!). Anyway, we'll be covering horror and Halloween movies the rest of the month so join us!

Synopsis:

Did you watch the original Friday the 13th's (that's a word -> 13th's)? Good news, you'll at least have to have some knowledge of them for this movie to make any sense. But it's got boobies and kills so that's definitely two things...

The Platform

058 - If we had a to pick a movie that represented 2020... this might be as close as we can get! It's depressing as all hell. There's subtext to the subtext and naked yoga between two cellmates. It's also in Spanish unless you mess up and choose the dub version, but we're #subs around here. Check it out on Netflix before listening if you don't want the entire movie spoiled for you.

Synopsis:

A vertical prison with one cell per level. Two people per cell. One only food platform and two minutes per day to feed from up to down. An endless nightmare trapped in The Hole.

The Devil All The Time

057 - When will we learn not to watch so much damn Netflix? The Devil All The Time is based off a book, which if you watch the movie, will be able to figure out by how bored you are. Not that books are boring, but movies based on books are. Are Kevin and Dustin up to the two hours and eighteen minute movie starring New Hollywood? You bet your Pepsi Cup we are!

Synopsis:

World War II is over... everyone is just regular sad and depressed now and men are pretty much shit... and Tom Holland attempts a third accent.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow

056 - At some point if DC/WB is going to keep making movies and comics titled "Man of Tomorrow" they're going to need to remember that the phrase is implying an eye on the future rather than this hogwash that tows the line of old and new. It looks like an anime, but it views like an old person wrote the weekend they didn't have their kids and had binged too many Superman The Animated Series episodes in a row... oh and fucking Lobo is in it. Yeah they love Lobo, they don't do anything with him, but they fucking love that dude.

Synopsis:

Superman's origin, but he's dumb and doesn't know what a Krypton is so he just punches his problems away until the world's most over experienced janitor gets forbidden juiced spilled on him. Now Superman, must call himself Superman and remember that hurting people isn't the bumblefuck Kansas way.

Guest House

055 - Are you as excited about Pauly Shore's return to cinema as we are? Well... just... don't. We're going to take our usual deep dive into 2020's Guest House, which says it's a comedy. Thanks for listening and we hope you make it to the end of this one, we barely did.

Synopsis:

You bought a house with Pauly Shore living in the guest house... what the fuck were you thinking? This is not the real synopsis, but probably should be.

The Honeymoon Phase

054 - We love our horror, thriller, sci-fi, with a healthy dose of indie as fuck. You've probably already been inside for thirty days, so two more hours with this podcast is nothing. Let's find out if romance is truly dead in this episode of Us Versus Movies.

Synopsis: Struggling young lovers, Tom and Eve, must endure a 30-day scientific experiment. Room, board, $50,000 and a month alone together in research facility housing. What could possibly go wrong.

Bill & Ted: Face The Music

053 - That's right, we gave you the weekend to watch this movie, because now we're going to spoil the hell out of it for you! It's the third installment of Bill & Ted, first they were excellent, then bogus... now they're faces or something. Anyway, we keep it under three goddamn hours on this episode of Us Versus Movies, but hopefully you're just here to see if it's worth watching or not and we will answer those questions several times on this episode.

Hackers

052 - I bet you can hear this fucking soundtrack in your head! Unless you're like Kevin and have never watched Hackers before recording this podcast. That's right, we return to the 90s for the cult classic Hackers, a movie about hacking... the planet possibly, it's a confusing movie in the middle of a confusing era. Get your roller-blades out and take a roll while listening to this episode of Us Versus Movies.

Synopsis:

A young boy is arrested by the U.S. Secret Service for writing a computer virus and is banned from using a computer until his 18th birthday. Years later, he and his new-found friends discover a plot to unleash a dangerous computer virus, but they must use their computer skills to find the evidence while being pursued by the Secret Service and the evil computer genius behind the virus.

Deathstroke - Knights and Dragons

051 - We're back with our second animated feature and it might be out last. At least from the WB direct to Bluray variety. We're talking about Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons, which may have been a TV show at one point, but is definitely an hour and a half movie. Deathstroke is a talented DM for the DC Universes D&D knockoff game K&D... nah, just kidding that would be a way better movie.

Synopsis:

Ten years ago, Slade Wilson-aka the super-assassin called Deathstroke-made a tragic mistake and his wife and son paid a terrible price. Now, a decade later, Wilson's family is threatened once again by the murderous Jackal and the terrorists of H.IV.E. Can Deathstroke atone for the sins of the past-or will his family pay the ultimate price?

The Rental

050 - Like anyone needed another reason not to use an AirBNB in 2020, but here it is... The Rental. The movie is only an hour and a half long, but Kevin and Dustin manage to talk about it for over two hours... that should probably tell you the quality of movie you're thinking about watching before or after you listen to this episode of Us Versus Movies!

Synopsis:

Two couples rent a vacation home for what should be a celebratory weekend get-away.

Amulet

049 - Get ready to ride or die on this episode of Us Versus Movies! We're reviewing Amulet, an indie-ish movie that had 17 production companies produce it just so that it could stream on Amazon. Demons, nuns, plaster repair and black mold, so much to look forward to on this episode.

Synopsis:

An ex-soldier, living homeless in London, is offered a place to stay at a decaying house inhabited by a young woman and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for her, he cannot ignore his suspicion that something sinister is going on.

Clueless

048 - Its the most anticipated episode in the history of our podcast, which is all hyperbole! So who wants to hear two grown men talk about Clueless for two hours? Would it help to know that one of the grown men had never watched the movie before this podcast? We hope so because you clicked on the damn thing!

Synopsis:

Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

Greyhound

047 - Tom Hanks on a boat should feel familiar. Tom Hanks during World War II probably feels even more familiar. Put them together and you have Greyhound basically. That's right, we review Apple TV's first movie without any controversy attached to it and 80% of it takes place on the poop deck... nah it's the bridge.

Synopsis:

Early in World War II, an inexperienced U.S. Navy captain must lead an Allied convoy being stalked by Nazi U-boat wolfpacks.
