Love Actually

YABBA-DABBA-DOO! Take a trip to Bedrock with Zach & Brandon as they revisit the live-action adaptation of the 60's beloved cartoon, The Flintstones. Released back in 1994, it banked on the nostalgia of baby boomers to massive box office success at the time. However it's rarely brought up today. Does it deserve to be forgotten or is it a misunderstood fever-dream family comedy? Tune in to hear Zach & Brandon's thoughts on all the insanity- from its impressive production design & cast to its nightmare-inducing puppets.   **DISCLAIMER** We experienced some audio issues during recording that forced us to cut some of Zach's audio. We cobbled it together as best we could. Forgive us!**

A stacked cast. A killer crocodile. And a whole lot of sarcastic quipping. Zach & Brandon take a look back at one of the more popular creature features of the 1990s. Released just two weeks before Deep Blue Sea, 1999's Lake Placid was a modest box office success but became a hit on home video- spawning five sequels. It's blend of horror and humor left critics and audiences mixed. But everyone seemed to agree that witnessing Betty White curse like a sailor was worth a watch. Tune in to hear Zach & Brandon's thoughts on the crocodile effects, the low body count, that bear scene and much more. You'll never know what bit you!

Grab your shovel and get digging! Zach & Brandon revisit the acclaimed family adventure Holes, based on the best selling novel of the same name. The book's author actually wrote the script for the film. It's a densely plotted story about a boy who gets sent to a juvenile detention camp in the middle of nowhere Texas to dig holes. Why? Because it builds character. Tune in to hear if the beloved film is worthy of its nostalgia or if it deserves to be buried and forgotten. Zach and Brandon dig into all the quirks, such as the summer camp/ prison movie tropes, elaborate backstories, that D-Tent Boys single & much more. 

Mr. Toilet Man, nightmare-fuel baby puppets, and one very dysfunctional family- there's a whole lot to cover here. Zach & Brandon take a look back at the 1990 sequel to the monster hit family comedy Look Who's Talking. John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and Bruce Willis return to yuck it up with little Mikey's baby sister, voiced by Roseanne Barr, entering the fold. Does this one hold up to the original? Was it ever a good movie? The boys debate.

Before Spider-Man, Hulk, Daredevil, or Fantastic Four, Marvel kicked off the 2000's with one of their most influential comic book movie adaptations. X-Men helped shape the superhero movie formula and kicked off a trend that's even more popular today. But is it any good? Zach & Brandon revisit this beloved blockbuster of their youth to see if it holds up. Hear all their thoughts on the film's incredible cast, it's problematic director, and Storm's line about lightning and what it does to a toad.  

We feel it in our fingers, we feel it in our toes. Christmas is all around us. So kick back and enjoy this holiday episode in which Zach & Brandon revisit the ultimate romantic comedy, 2003's Love Actually. Featuring a stacked cast of character actors, this beloved rom com features several iconic scenes and remains a yearly tradition for many. But is it the holiday classic it's often touted as? The boys debate. 

Zach & Brandon look back at one of Tim Burton's most strange and juvenile films, 1996's sci fi comedy satire Mars Attacks! It's filled with a stacked cast of 90s all-stars, featuring the likes of Jack Nicholson (in two roles), Michael J. Fox, Danny DeVito and Glenn Close. And most are reduced to a couple minutes of screen time with not much to do! Tune in to hear Zach & Brandon's thoughts on the bizarre alien design, it's endless cavalcade of cameos, and campy yet cynical tone. Plus Sarah Jessica Parker's head ends up on a chihuahua at one point. ACK! ACK! ACK! 

It's not often Zach & Brandon review Academy Award winning films on the show, but when they do it has a main character nicknamed B-Rabbit, climactic rap battles and a glorious appearance by Michael Shannon. They take a look back on the Eminem pop cultural phenomenon of the early 2000s as well as his acting debit in 8 Mile. It's all covered here-  it's Oscar winning song, Scary Movie 3 parody references, Cheddar Bob, even mom's spaghetti. 

Suit up for a trip back to 1995- at the height of Power Ranger popularity. Studio execs fast-tracked this theatrical adaptation of the hit children's TV show that licensed footage from older Japanese properties. Zach & Brandon relive this strange time in all its glory by reviewing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. They discuss their former appreciation of the pop culture phenomenon as well as the film's eccentricities- from the obsession with ooze to the out-of-nowhere half naked sage warrior that guides the rangers to the magic temple so they can once again obtain the powers of their ancient spirit counterparts. If that was nonsense to you, consider downloading to educate yourself. GO GO POWER RANGERS!

True love is worth the weight! Zach & Brandon take a look back at the 2001 romantic comedy fantasy Shallow Hal. Directed by the Farrelly Brothers, it paired Gwyneth Paltrow with Jack Black (in his first leading role) for a high concept love story about a guy who's hypnotized into seeing women's true inner beauty. More sentimental than the directors' previous efforts, it's a romcom that wears its heart on its sleeve but has taken heat in more recent years for some of its problematic subject matter. The boys attempt to wrap their heads around the confounding premise, Jason Alexander's horrific character, Paltrow's fat suit, and much more. Plus Zach learns the true meaning of the Baha Men's classic song 'Who Let the Dogs Out?'
