2000's Battlefield Earth, based on a novel by L. Ron Hubbard and starring John Travolta, is one of the most famous bad movies of all time. Rob Huebel (The Dark Web, The Sex Lives of College Girls) joins Paul, Jason, and June to cover all the slo-mo horses, the rumored Scientology connections, Travolta's many accents, the un-sexiness of the characters, all the inconsistencies throughout the movie, and so much more. Plus, we play YOUR Battlefield Earth Razzie nomination pitches. (Ep. #6 Originally Released 03/15/2011)

Jack's Back LIVE! w/ Lisa Gilroy
September 19, 2025
•69m
Lisa Gilroy (The Studio, Twisted Metal) joins Paul and Jason to break down the 1988 James Spader thriller Jack's Back—a movie that surprisingly is not about Jack the Ripper's return. They discuss how to tell if twins have the same fingerprints, Rick's job at the Second Sole shoe store, how awful all the cops are, if Jack killed Spader Prime in self-dense, and so much more. Plus, Paul spots a My Buddy doll which leads to Lisa recalling her own unique childhood doll experience. And the one and only June Diane Raphael pops in with her best guess as to what this movie is about.
