Ep 205: Scott Pilgrim vs the World - Mental Health Month

Every year we take a break from the "bad" movies for MENTAL HEALTH MONTH, a month in which we talk about movies we love! This week we have Derrick's pick, 2010's SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD directed by Edgar Wright.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World follows Toronto slacker Scott, who falls hard for the enigmatic Ramona Flowers and then learns, too late, that dating her comes with a boss-battle gauntlet of seven increasingly unreasonable exes. What unfolds is part romance, part video game, where emotional baggage manifests as literal combat and self-improvement is less a journey than a series of combos you either land or don’t. Scott spends most of the film confusing sincerity with effort and learns in the end that it’s less about winning the girl and more about leveling up into someone who might actually deserve her.

Ep 204: Threesome - Mental Health Month

“I made the yogurt.” -Jack

Every year, we take a break from the "bad" movies for MENTAL HEALTH MONTH, a month in which we talk about movies we love! We're kicking it off this year with Whitney's pick, 1994's THREESOME starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin and Josh Charles. 

 

Threesome is a college comedy that traps three very different students, an uptight intellectual, a charmingly chaotic woman, and a seemingly shallow and vapid mimbo who is surprisingly complicated, in a dorm room thanks to a bureaucratic mix-up. What follows isn’t so much a straight-line plot as a slow unraveling of assumptions about attraction, identity, and emotional honesty, punctuated by awkward encounters and the kind of conversations people only have when they can’t avoid each other. The film sidesteps easy answers, letting its characters fumble toward self-awareness while occasionally making you laugh at how confidently wrong they all are.

HTSF Ep 76: The Mandalorian Ch 22: Guns for Hire

This episode is a little late, apologies all around, Derrick lost track of the calendar and thought the episode was to be released next week.

This week, we're diving into Jack's favorite episode of The Mandalorian, Guns for Hire! Featuring cameos from Jack Black and Lizzo [sic] as well as the great Christopher Lloyd. This one definitely feels like a filler episode in which Bo Katan and Din Djarin are tasked to help a bizzaro Alice in Wonderland-style planet solve a mystery regarding their rogue droids in order to gain permission to meet with the mercenary Mandalorians currently camped out on the planet, led by Axe Woves. There's some good here, a lot of bad and a sweet ass Mandalorian battle at the end.

Ep 203: Vamp

You've been Dorothy-ed, bitch! -Derrick

Vamp follows two college guys who, in a moment of questionable judgment, wander into a gritty downtown club to hire a stripper for a frat party—only to discover the place is run by vampires, led by the mesmerizing and dangerous Katrina. What starts as a sleazy errand quickly turns into a neon-lit survival scramble through back alleys and blood-soaked hallways. The film leans into its stylized, almost comic-book vibe, mixing horror with just enough deadpan absurdity to keep things from collapsing. By the end, it’s less about partying and more about surviving until sunrise with most of your blood still accounted for.

Ep 202: Masters of the Universe (1987) w Dan from The Geeks With Beards Podcast

“Put a hat on the fuckin’ balloon!” -Jack

This 80s schlock classic relocates an interdimensional battle for a magical sword to suburban Earth, where He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) and his allies crash into a small-town teen drama while battling the evil Skeletor (Frank Langella). While Skeletor seizes Castle Grayskull offscreen and waits for a cosmic alignment, the heroes spend most of the film chasing a tone-shifting gadget and explaining their mythology to confused locals. It’s an earnest fantasy epic squeezed into a modest production, buoyed by Frank Langella’s committed villainy.

HTSF Ep 75: The Mandalorian Ch 21: The Pirate

In The Mandalorian Chapter 21, space-mayor Greef Karga sends a desperate message when pirate boss Gorian Shard and his crew start blasting up the town on Nevarro. Ranger pilot Carson Teva can’t get official help, so he runs to the Mandalorians for help, guilt tripping Mando into assisting. Led by Din Djarin and enthusiastically backed by Paz Vizsla, the Mandalorians swoop in, wreck the pirates, and turn the whole thing into a very explosive community service project. In return, Nevarro gives them land to live on and begin rebuilding their community.

Ep 200: C.H.U.D.

The cleanest he’s ever looked is as one of the wet and/or sticky bandits.

-Derrick

We have been talking about C.H.U.D. since the show started, and as we were planning our 200th episode, one of our Patrons, Grayson, suggested this one so we decided it was finally time!

We learn New York’s missing-person problem is actually due to radioactive cannibal mutants living in the sewer system, which was not part of the city planning. As a photographer (John Heard), a soup-kitchen operator (Daniel Stern), and a skeptical cop (Christopher Curry) connect the dots, the film shifts between urban paranoia and creature-feature mayhem. It treats toxic waste, homelessness, and government negligence with surprising earnestness while still delivering glowing-eyed monsters who clearly do not want guests.

BONUS: Scrubs Revival Reactions

This episode is a little later than we wanted, but, as huge Scrubs fans, we just wanted to have a short discussion about our initial feelings about the reboot/revival. This chat is spoiler-free. We will have a follow-up after the show ends that goes a little more in-depth.
