For those of you looking for a "one-Meg-movie," you're going to need a bigger boat, my friend! Why only have a water-based monster movie featuring one Meg when you can have THREE? This week the crew and I are putting on our floaties and heading for open water for the return of the Meg in all its big sharky glory. Meg 2: The Trench follows most of our original crew from the first movie, or at least those that didn't wind up as sharkbait (oo-ha-ha), as they once again find themselves with a few prehistoric sharks on the loose. Only this time it's not only big sharks that they find down in the deepest, darkest, depths of the ocean - but a fully functional mining base ran by some lousy group of eco-terrorists! Because, well, of course they would, right? Boasting some CGI and special effects that also feel like they are 65 million years old, gloriously cheesey monster movie one-liners and a jet-ski stunt sequence that you just have to see to believe, Meg 2 is here to feast on some beach-party goers and chum the waters once again! Can Jonas and the team stop their three big sharkies, take down the lousy bad guys and send these bad reviewers back to swim lessons? Tune in to find out!   If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and share! It goes such a long way and I am so grateful for all of the support.

Y'all, it's 2015. Surely opening up a theme park on an island in Central America that features real dinosaurs can finally be safe. I mean, we all learned our lesson from what happened back in 1993, right? WRONG. Welcome to Jurassic World! After cooking up a brand new attraction in the lab, courtesy of our favorite Dino Geneticist Dr. Henry Wu, things take a turn for the worse. All I can say is bad decision after bad decision leads to the asset finding its way out of containment and into the park. Honestly, the funniest thing is that its never even the dinosaurs' fault that they always keep getting out. It's these freaking people, man! 22 years after the events of the original park, they managed to reopen on the same island, change park to world, rebrand the original logo and open it up to the public. I remember people going absolutely bananas when it was announced that this franchise would be getting revived - including me! If you're new around here, you have to know that Jurassic Park is probably my favorite movie of all time. So, naturally, I was not only excited to see dinosaurs on the big screen again under the classic, Spielberg-esque moniker of "Jurassic," but also to see just where in the dino-creating, egg hatching, dino dung digging world they would go with this one. Can Claire and Owen rescue her nephews, stop InGen's dastardly plans and send these bad reviewers back to containment? Tune in to find out!   If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and share!

I hope you got something pink because to tune into this one you're gonna need it! This week the crew and I venture into parts unknown, well, parts plastic and 2/3 the size of the real world filled with all the colors, that is, with Barbie! While everything seems to be just as it should be in Barbieland, Barbie starts to go through a crisis that may be linked to the real world. This is one hot pink adventure filled with Barbie, Ken, Ken, Barbie, Barbie... oh and that Barbie too, Ken, Ken, Ken, and - Allan, of course! Haha I'm sure y'all never would have thought that the world of BRBR would be talking all things Mattel for a comeback episode, but here we are. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but with the wildly successful marketing, fun cast, goofy trailers and their "not-so-secret" plan to mash up with Oppenheimer, we absolutely had to check it out. Featuring extremely colorful visuals, great costumes and a playlist of some incredible original tunes, it's definitley one that made the world want to party with Barbie. Can Barbie find the true meaning of her existence, help Ken see his true "Kenergy" and put these bad reviewers back in their boxes?

If you've been wanting to walk in the world of monsters and bad reviewers - you're in the right place! This week we have yet another very special episode as we welcome back a legendary guest of the show's… and that's our good monster buddy Big Liz (aka Godzilla). He's back in one of his better outings with Godzilla: King of the Monsters! With several of his monster friends and foes being released all around the globe, it's up to a small group of monster hunters and scientists to help G-Man defeat the baddies and reign as king once again. I've said it before and I'll probably say it again and again… I absolutely love monster movies! They are nowhere near perfect or some of the best movies there ever were, but man, they are just so dang fun. This has to be one of my favorite big monster flicks of all time with not only the number of monsters we get to see or the fantastic fights and visuals, but just how well they keep our beloved, big, baddies in the limelight for most of the movie. While some may argue there was no plot, poor dialogue and the worst character development, I just have one thing to say to them - I'm here for the MONSTERS! Can Godzilla defeat Ghidora, reclaim his crown as king and drop a monster royal rumble on these bad reviewers? Tune in to find out!   If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and share!

Wait a minute... New BRBR? Not on a Friday? You're not dreaming, you heard that right! Turns out today is a very special day in the world of BRBR in that it's my birthday! So, wanting to include all of you wonderful listeners who not only make doing this show a true joy but also make it possible, I figured I would drop a surprise bonus episode. This week we are speeding off into the sunset with the latest installment to the DCEU with The Flash! Our hero Barry Allen not only upsets Batman but also disrupts a rift or two in the space time continuum in his efforts to save his mom. It's now up to him and a few, fellow, friendly faces to set things straight once again. While I may not be the biggest DC superhero fan out there, I still found a few things about the film I enjoyed - which is always my goal here at the show! With plenty of people raving about this one as well as just as many giving our superspeedy superhero a speeding ticket, I had to give it a watch and see for myself if worlds truly do collide! Can The Flash regain his powers, save his mom and drop some space timeline spaghetti on these bad reviewers? Tune in to find out!   If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and share!

Look there, in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, wait... It's actually a Superman movie without "Superman" in the title nor the wildly famous 'Superman Theme!' Although Krypton may be no more after General Zod's attempted coup, we are bringing the most popular Kryptonian there is to the world of BRBR with 2013's Man of Steel. Talk about worlds colliding! Bringing a darker tone to our famed, American superhero, Zack Snyder reintroduces us to the Superman story and introduces us to the one and only Henry Cavill. I'll be honest, I am not a Superman fan and never really have been. But I do see the diehard fans that not only rank this among their favorites in the DCEU but also the Superman movies as well. So I figured I had to drop another certified BRBR First Watch this month and give it a watch. In this one, it's up to our newly minted Superman actor and his shirtless scenes to find his place on Earth and defend its people from Zod and his goons. Despite all of the controversy surrounding Cavill's casting choice, and the overall Superman entry itself, it still brings some solid CGI super-action and is now one of the few DCEU additions from the 2010s that doesn't make me lose my waffles. Can Kal-El save the people of Earth, stop the evil General Zod and flex his shirtless scenes on these bad reviewers? Tune in to find out!   If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and share!

Grab your popcorn, a favorite drink and... Well, just watch where you step with this one! This week BRBR is piecing together one of the biggest animated features from 2014. It's The Lego Movie! It's up to Emmet and his fellow Lego minifigures to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego world as they know it into eternal stasis. This movie was absolutely HUGE back in 2014 and made a "brick"-load of money. As this was a certified BRBR First Watch, I just had to find out what the deal was with this smash hit movie about Legos. Outside of the absolutely stacked cast of voice actors and some stunning animation, I knew nothing else about the movie going into it. I've been a big Lego guy ever since I was old enough to play with them, so, naturally I had to finally find out just what Hollywood decided to do with one of my favorite toys from childhood. Becuase... well, you know how well it always goes when something you love and adore gets made into a major motion picture, right? Let's just say that it doesn't always leave you with the fond memories you had as a kid. But aside from it just being a movie about Legos, it actually has some fun animation, goofy characters and some of the most ridiculous humor you can imagine. Can Emmet discover his destiny as the "Special," stop President Business from carrying out his evil plan and show these bad reviewers how awesome it is to be part of a team?

You're a wizard! He's a wizard! She's a wizard! Everyone's a wizard this week as we jump on board the Hogwarts Express with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It is the intro to the wizarding world and the kick-off of one of the highest grossing film series of all time. While it may be the first year for Harry, Ron and Hermione, they soon find out to have quite a bit more on their plate than trying to pass their potions final. I honestly enjoy the first one so much as it's able to do such a bang-up job at taking us into the world of Hogwarts and I just have so many good memories from watching it as a kid. I'm in no way, shape or form (magical or non-magical), a massive Harry Potter fan by any means, but these movies are still some good wizarding fun. While the 2001 CGI sequences may not be anything to purchase the snack cart for, the film makes up for in giving us a decent sendoff into the wizarding world along with a fully stacked cast to make up these lively, legendary characters of Rowling's. Can Harry and his magical trio uncover the truth at Hogwarts, stop Vol... I mean, He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named and tell these bad reviewers it's "Levi-OOOOH-sa not LevioSAR?"

This week the crew and I are heading back to the '80s to cover one of the most controversial classics of the time - The Breakfast Club. Hailed by some as the "definitive teen movie from the 1980s" and others as "boring garbage I wouldn't let my kids watch," I knew we had to bring it to the wild world of BRBR to find out for ourselves. Taking place at Saturday detention at a high school in 1984, five teens from different social groups share time and stories to discover they seemingly have more in common than they thought. And man, I seriously can't overstate how much hype this film got to get it to the level of "1980s Classic." This so-called "teen movie of the ages" just seemed to blow up out of nowhere and be a household name to this day. With its well-known young cast, teenage relatability and dated dialogue, a majority of people still say it is a must watch. So pack a lunch, grab a pencil and paper and let's back to high school on a Saturday! Or... maybe just listen to this episode instead? Can our Saturday-school-spending-students connect with one another, outsmart ol' Vernon and send these bad reviewers to detention themselves?
