What Were They Thinking? - A Podcast About Really Bad Movies

Nathan & Brendan dive into a brand-new mailbag that includes disturbing movies from their youth (shoutout to the Film Roast peeps, yo!), Brendan wishing ill upon a certain "iconic" Michael Keaton character, outdoor screenings that should not be attended by children and the nightmare world where a sequel to Baywatch is made. They also discuss their next upcoming episode which will be a movie that features a not-so-politically correct performance from Johnny Depp in a film that flopped hard. Yes, that's right. Next week - the Summer Flopbusters begin! Plus: Will Nathan continue his grammar war?

Nathan & Brendan get all patriotic with this very special episode as they unpack the bizarre horror/comedy straight-to-video gem, "Uncle Sam." Many topics are covered including the bizarre magic that surrounds Sam's resurrection from the dead, the script that basically reads as a run-through and the overall insanity of the last 25 minutes of the film in which a seemingly new premise is enforced, brand-new characters are introduced and semi-famous people show up to die. WE WANT YOU... to watch this episode. Please.

Controversy also strikes as the boys decide what their favourite type of pie is - the answer will shock you! They also briefly mention the next film they'll be covering which involves a man coming back from the dead while wearing a certain iconic festive garb.

Nathan and Brendan go back to the "movie might be insane but it's fun to watch" choices after last week's horrific film as they tackle the 2010 remake of one of George A. Romero's classic (?) films, "The Crazies." They discuss how Timothy Olyphant would have been a strange choice for this role based on the movies he had been doing at the time, Google Earth being the villains in this movie, Brendan confesses his love for Danielle Panabaker and reveals that he can't pronounce names and Nathan questions if people were infected before the movie even kicks off.

Nathan and Brendan (and special guest Mariah) dissect one of the most ineptly-made films of all time. Seemingly a film that's made entirely from a pro-gay marriage point of view created by homosexual filmmakers somehow manages to be offensive towards gay people.The gang talk about everything from deep discoveries involving scenes that may actually be flashbacks, Holy Hitmen, gay Christian fundamentalists, the beautiful palm trees of Vermont and the classic film that inspired the finale. We also learn that Mariah may be harbouring a deep, dark secret. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Imagine if Gerard Butler were cast as The Punisher but was sent a script for an unmade Saw movie and in the meantime the studio lost the rights to The Punisher and the studio just decided to the make the movie anyway.  That's not what happened with Law Abiding Citizen, but we like to think that's what happened with it.  Come and listen to Brendan and Nathan as they try and wrap their heads around a movie that has problems with logic, physics and even basic math.

Now here's a movie that delivers on what it promises.  This movie starts out absolutely bananas and never lets up and if you've seen it, you're better for it.  This movie must be seen to be believed but if you can't watch it, just sit back and listen while your big top ringmasters Nathan and Brendan regale you with a tale that must be heard... if only to entice you into making time for this 80's cult classic. HURRY! HURRY! HURRY! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The director of Die Hard took a hard slide and remade a cult classic. The original was about the proliferation of violence in sports and media in general. The re-make was about 90 minutes that we're never getting back. It's a movie where we're supposed to believe that 'dead behind the eyes' Chris "channeling my best Keanu impression" Klein is the same age as Ladies Love Cool James... and it just goes downhill from there. Join Nathan and Brendan as they suffer through this early 2000s debacle with our resident extreme sports expert Jerika Layne. If it gets to be too much for you, just remind yourself to keep a Rollerball head and you'll be Rollerball in the end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Introducing the movie that nearly broke us.   It's a movie where one of the most respected Marvel characters, known for his sly wit, military know-how and serious demeanour is portrayed as a one-liner spewing, guns blasting, pervy two dimensional caricature.  It's a movie so ridiculous that it made us pine for the time we watched JD Salinger's kid as Captain America.  This is us suffering for you, our listeners.  If you listen close enough you can hear all three of us slowly dying just a little bit inside as we progress through the unpacking of this movie.

This movie is an example of how something can look so great on paper but ends up being SO bad when put onto film.  A prime example of what can happen when a fantastic director is undone by studio meddling.  But, hey at least you get naked Dave Foley and Rose Mc-Meow-an.  Nathan and Brendan spend an hour and a half talking about Monkeybone... no, not like that... well... sort of.

Do you ever remember seeing a movie as a kid and have fond memories about how much you loved that movie and laughed so hard at it?  Then watched it 30 years later and had every great memory stripped away by how stunningly inept and awful it was?  That's Garbage Pail Kids.  Nathan and Brendan stepped into the world of a shameless cash-in mixed with hackneyed, lazy gross out comedy.  It's not the worst movie we've ever watched, but it's pretty close.

Wrestlemania is considered the showcase of the immortals & the grandest stage of them all... this Wrestlemania did not get the memos on EITHER of those.  It's one of the shortest, lacklustre and underwhelming Wrestlemanias of all time.  Join Nathan, Brendan & special guest Jason as they unpack what is widely considered the least spectacular greatest spectacle in sports entertainment.

You'd trade Ryan Reynolds for Kevin Costner, right?  That's seems like a fair trade.  Find out the answer to this and the question: what would happen if Johnathan Kent had the memories of The Green Lantern implanted in his head by Two Face and Commissioner Gordon so he could fight cyber-terrorism with the help of Wonder Woman?  The DC universe will never be the same after Brendan and Nathan unpack the movie that is "Criminal"... not just in title alone.

This movie is what happens when a WHOLE lot of people with a WHOLE lot of talent decide that they'd rather get paid a WHOLE lot of money rather than say "no, I want to make a quality movie."  Nathan and Brendan watched "Nine Lives" so you never have to.
