The Munsters (2022)
4/7/2023
54:50
The TWU crew discuss "Rob Zombies: The Munsters". The Netflix original that no one, aside from a handful of people involved in the film, ever asked for. A truly unnecessary dud. And our first movie to get a 5 "Skunks" rating across the board. Like and subscribe.
A Christmas Story Christmas
2/15/2023
1:05:51
The TWU crew discuss another "legacy sequel". The 30 years later follow up to cult classic turned beaten dead horse, A Christmas Story. This wasn't a horrific film. Unnecessary? Decide for yourself. Like and subscribe. Contact us at [email protected]
The "..Know What You Did Last Summer" Special Episode
12/9/2022
1:21:06
The TWU crew set out to discuss a late 90's horror "classic", but due to a misunderstanding, end up discussing both "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" as well as the first movie. It's a long one. With some elaborate plot breakdowns that only this podcast could provide. Like and subscribe! [email protected]
Judge Dredd

The TWU crew discuss another Stallone classic. The sci-fi/action movie based on a British comic book that failed to impress (US) audiences. Featuring an intense debate centered around "entertainer" Rob Schneider. Listen and subscribe. [email protected]
Maximum Overdrive

The TWU crew discuss Stephen King's one and only attempt at making a movie himself. The only problem was he happened to be loaded out of his mind on alcohol and drugs. And well....the 80's. Listen and subscribe!
The Mummy (2017)
6/19/2022
1:05:18
The TWU crew discuss Universal Pictures failed attempt to kickstart a "classic monsters universe". A movie with big aspirations and a half ass script. Starring the one and only Tommy Cruise. The epitome of unnecessary. (Russell Crowe is in it too.) Like and subscribe! Contact us at [email protected]
Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment
3/29/2022
59:27
The TWU crew discuss the first sequel in an iconic 80's film franchise. Back when a comedy about inept police officers wouldn't have been considered a little problematic. Full of plenty of action packed sound clips from the movie!! Listen and subscribe!
Dune (1984)
2/10/2022
1:03:08
The TWU crew discuss David Lynch's original movie version of a novel his eccentric brain should have never attempted to adapt. This ain't your 2021 streaming on HBO Max Dune. I would offer a plot synopsis here but it would make about as much sense as our attempts at explaining it in the episode. Enjoy. Subscribe and tell your friends!
