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

Listeners Choice Month continues! In this week's episode, the guys suffer for your pleasure! They endure the 137-minute (!) Christian propaganda/hockey romance/dissertation movie The Genesis Code. Oh, you've never heard of it? Of course you haven't! This film has got all you desire though like a ONE-HOUR scene where characters just explain the Genesis Code (the theory), an evil academic advisor tells people to cool it with all the God talk if they wanna make it in the world and big-name actors? You like them? Well, get excited for about 5-6 minutes of Ernest Borgnine, Lance "Henrickson" (spelled incorrectly by the opening credits), Louise Fletcher, Fred Thompson, Catherine Hicks and Rance Howard. Oh, I meant 5-6 minutes TOTAL... like shared between everyone. Egads, this movie. Next week: Listeners Choice Month comes grinding to a finish with the Tori Spelling TV movie Co-Ed Call Girl. What We've Been Watching: Christiane F. "Secrets of the Hells Angels" Questions? Comments? Suggestions? You can always sho

Listeners Choice Month continues! In this week's episode, the guys are "treated" to the kangaroo/martial arts/YA (?) movie Warriors of Virtue. This is a mystifying movie in many ways but the guys dive deep into the story arcs that are abruptly dropped, Angus Macfayden's amazing and highly sexual performance, the jumpy slow-motion used in EVERY fight scene, the kangaroos themselves having no personalities and much more. Plus: Brendan reveals a sacred childhood connection to the movie. Next week: Listeners Choice Month continues with... The Genesis Code!

Listeners Choice Month! It's one of the most special times of the year in which we turn the book over to YOU, the listeners! Starting off this whirlwind of a month is 2012's Peter Berg Hasbro epic BATTLESHIP starring Taylor Kitsch and a quick dash of Liam Neeson. Why DID they make a movie based on a game like this? Does a burrito become a major plot point right up until the end of the film? How does one get promoted to lieutenant in 48 hours after joining the Navy? Could the aliens look worse? And holy moley at that entrance of the war veterans, eh? Join the guys as they rant about this, pogs for some reason and again ask WHY DID THEY MAKE A MOVIE BASED ON BATTLESHIP?

It's the fifth Thursday of the month (a rare occurrence!) so you know what that means - it's time for a Small-Screen Shameful! Jason MacLeod joins the guys this week to talk about Blackbird - the Michael Flatley (yes, of Riverdance) vanity project. They talk all about Flatley's unfathomably bad, static, hilarious and insane performance, Eric Roberts drunkenly slurring all his dialogue, the obscene amount of hats, the most boring card-playing scene since Poker Face (the Crowe one) and much more. Plus: original guest Galen Howard chimes in having seen the first half of the movie. Next week: Listeners Choice Month begins with... Battleship!

In the second part of our Liam Neeson spectacular, the guys shift their attention to Taken 3 (or Tak3n if you were a part of the stupid marketing team). It's a movie that asks the question... what if we just didn't take anyone? You can blame Liam Neeson for that and his weird-ass contract. But in regards to the movie, they also wonder what is up with Forest Whitaker's hands business? How stupid is Bryan Mills in his everyday life? Should you ever tamper with bagel evidence? Plus: a deep dive into a very specific emphasis-based type of criminal. Next week: It's a real doozy of a small-screen shameful. This one will dance all over your brain!

In a first-ever for the boys in Thinking Town, Canada... this is the first of a Taken twofer. That's right - starting off this week with Taken 2, a film that asks the question: do you want to see it again but not as good? This film has everything from Bryan's daugher Kim using grenades like sonar devices, Bryan's sewing circle of friends who dish way too much, some of the worst fight choreography you'll see in an action film and much more.

This week, Patron Megan Miller joins the guys to school them on the education system with a breakdown of the 1999 Kevin Williamson thriller Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Will a real-life horrific violent act in school stop the momentum of a potentially violent school-themed thriller? No wa-- ... what? Oh, it will... oh, it did? Oh okay. Ahem. Anyway, the gang talk about the awkward last-minute cuts to get a PG-13 rating, the very disturbing Jeffrey Tambor seduction scene, the inconsistent soundtrack, Vivica A. Fox getting robbed and much more. Plus: her husband's name is Richard... think about it. Next week: some skills... just in general.

Look, I usually try to put a funny little summary here but this movie is vile and hateful and not good for Christians or Atheists or really anyone who doesn’t have a black heart. The guys are joined by former pastor Troy Carruthers to get into some of the more intricate aspects of religion (especially the danger of “narrative”) and why this movie is harmful to everyone. Don’t worry, they still had fun discussing this nutty movie. They also discuss Kevin Sorbo’s come-to-Jesus moment, the Newsboys, evil Liberals and their woke agenda, the premise that would never happen in a million billion years and more. Plus: Troy’s Top 10 list directed at Brendan. Next week: Rock it! What We've Been Watching: Notes on a Scandal Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Nimona Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
