Episode #38 - A Serbian Film

Image via WikipediaEpisode #38 of Moviesucktastic is now live! In this episode Joey and Scott share their mutual traumatic experience from having just witnessed the psychological sucker punch that is A Serbian Film. Considering the mature and brutal nature of the film's adult sexual themes, the Movie Guys decide to use it as a launching board for a lengthy discussion of rape scenes in films. Personal favorites include Irreversible with dual acknowledgments for Most Uncomfortable and Longest Rape Sequence, and a tip of the hat to Hitchcock's Frenzy for Funniest Rape Sequence Ever.

We can also be found on Podcast Pickle, Podcast Pup and Pod Feed, or you can stream us directly onto your smart phone using the sweet-ass Stitcher App. As always, you can also listen to the show streaming at Moviesucktastic.com.

Episode #37 - You Sunk My Beowulf!

Image by unloveablesteve via FlickrEpisode #37 of Moviesucktastic is now live! This episode is a Scottastic solo episode, and he starts the show at full speed with a frustrated rant against the mere existence of the new mega-budget Hasbro board-game tie-in movie, Battleship!

After Scott vents a bit and covers the top ten box office and his Finger List pick, he takes a moment to introduce a new segment intended to inject a little cultural depth into the show by reading portions of the book The Terrible Game, which was eventually adapted into the classic cult film Gymkata.

With literary pursuits out of the way, Scott offers his own observations on Joey's previous challenge, the 1999 pseudo-futuristic adaptation of Beowulf starring Christopher Lambert, and reviews Joey's challenge to him, the tepid and uninspired werewolf film Skinwalkers.

We've been adding podcast providers left and right this month, so not only can you listen to the show on iTunes and Zune, we can also be found on Podcast Pickle, Podcast Pup and Pod Feed, or you can stream us directly onto your smart phone using the sweet-ass Stitcher App. As always, you can also listen to the show streaming at Moviesucktastic.com.

The Minority Podcast

2011 seems to be the year for milestones and innovations for Moviesucktastic, as the latest episode of the podcast features yet another first for the show: Episode #27 is the first podcast in which Movie Guys Joey and Scott review a film actually sent to them for review by the filmmakers themselves.

360 Sound and Vision, an independent production company based out f New York, sent us a screener copy of The Minority, starring Billoah Greene and written/directed by Dwayne Buckle (aka D-Buckle). In the words of the promotional website for the film:

Hardworking African American citizen Jake Jackson is constantly subjected to racial biases, until he captures a wanted fugitive, then his luck changes.

At first, your humble podcasts hosts were concerned about the implications. Did these struggling filmmakers realize that our show was dedicated to talking about mostly bad movies? Did the understand what the "Suck" in Moviesucktastic stands for? We were worried that the production company's expectations regarding our critical input (or more precisely, output) might be somewhat excessive.

Even worse, we became concerned that agreeing to review their film would result in a moral dilemma: Never ones to trash a film just for the sake of being mean or spiteful, would we end up giving a boring positive review that would do little to entertain or inform our listeners, who depend on our bitter hatred for films that fall below our rather shallow artistic standards? Even worse, would we be tempted to violate our journalistic ideals and give a negative review to a film undeserving of critical scorn and derision?

Fifteen minutes into the film, we new they had made the right choice.

Listen to the groundbreaking Episode #27 of Moviesucktastic, and find out why it is not only the first episode to feature a solicited review, but the first to ever start with an apology for the review to come. You can download this momentous episode from iTunes, Podcast Alley, Podcast.com or stream it directly at the newly updated MovieSucktastic.com website. And if you feel that our review of The Minority was unnecessarily harsh or unkind, be sure to let us know.

Podcast #16 - The A-Team, Drive-Ins, and Dog Owners

Yes, the MovieSucktastic podcast is back on schedule, after an extended hiatus so Scott could (unsuccessfully) attempt to track down co-host Joey, who was abducted last month by militant Avatar fanatic in retaliation for his past anti-Avatar reviews.

But the hunt is over now, and Scott is back in action and well into the MovieScottastic swing of things with his full-on review of The A-Team, which he screened at Becky's Drive-In. This, of course, also leads to a brief rant about moviegoers and drive-in moviegoers, and their never ending quest to ruin the movie-going experience for the general public. Here's a quick preview: what do you do when a crying baby isn't loud enough to disrupt the film? Bring the dogs along as well, of course.

So tune in and check out the latest on the A-Team, as well as Scott's opinion on the film's lack of a Mr. T cameo. I pity the fool who doesn't listen to the latest episode, either at iTunes, Podcast Alley, Podcast.com or MovieSucktastic.com. Current plans for the next episode include reviews of Killers, The Human Centipede, and Deadtime Stories..
