Sinopsis
Hi...We're Chris and Andrew. We watch bad movies. Well mostly bad. One day we thought that, perhaps, other people might enjoy what we had to say about said movies. I know I know...ridiculous. Yet here we are, audibly spewing our thoughts and musings in the general direction of your tender ear holes. Horror flicks, cult films, anything in the Sci-fi oeuvre, and just plain old crap. So give it a download and join us in our Search for Schlock. Or not...we can't make you...yet.

12/02/2016http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-095-Sledgehammer.mp3 Download MP3What do you get when you mix a bunch of horny college age douchebags, an abandoned haunted house, a crazed 8 foot tall killer with a demolition tool and a new director shooting a film on his home video equipment in 1983?! Well if you guessed an episode of This Old House you were wrong. The correct answer is this weeks exciting webipod ... Sledgehammer! So join us as we sit through a badly paced, poorly shot horror film and drink ourselves to a level of numbness I shouldn't be comfortable with ....... this podcast will be the death of me I know it.Original post located at searchforschlock.com.

Joysticks (1983)
29/01/2016http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-094-Joysticks.mp3 Download MP3 How does one describe this weeks webipod? It's like if Animal House was about video games ... yet not as good. It's like if Porky's was about video games ... only not as culturally significant. It's like if Skatetown USA had been less weird and showed more tits. In other words it's the perfect film to continue our downward spiral into ever increasingly bad film choices. It is, ladies and gentlemen, perfect schlock. So join us for Joysticks as we revel in the antics of a group of arcade misfits as they battle against Joe Don Baker ... for something ............................ TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO GAMES!!Original post located at searchforschlock.com.

Deathstalker II (1987)
15/01/2016http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-093-Deathstalker2.mp3 Download MP3 In this weeks webipod we skip straight to the second installment of beloved fantasy movie franchise ... Deathstalker! You all remember Deathstalker right?! ....... well thats ok. The only one who did was Andrew and his brother James. Their blurry childhood memories of a more perverse robin hood archetype quipping his way through a poorly budgeted middle earth like setting remained dormant and waiting ... waiting for the day we'd unleash this podcast. Waiting for the day they'd be able to tell the tale of a USA Up All Night encounter that forever changed their lives! (actually not much of this is true and I'm probably overselling it) So join us for swords, boobs, amazon women and pigmen ... I bring you DEATHSTALKER II!Original post located at searchforschlock.com.

Charley Varrick (1973)

On your tail for drop money you unwittingly stole from a small town bank. If the enforcer they sent to collect was Joe Don Baker. If you were Walter Matthau................... I know right?! Join us for this weeks webipod as we're shockingly surprised to find ourselves in the midst of a legitimately great film!! ... ok it's not perfect but it's good ... and that's saying a lot for this podcast.

Real Genius (1985)
18/12/2015http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-091-RealGenius.mp3 Download MP3 Imagine if you will the year 1985. Reagan meets Gorbachev ... Nintendo ... New Wave ... Hair Bands ... Michael Jordan is named Rookie of the Year!! All of these things dwarf in comparison to what would be the single greatest pop culture event of the year ... Real Genius. Never again will you have to imagine what it would be like to watch Val Kilmer invent lasers. Nor would you ever again need to wonder what Tears for Fears: Everybody Wants to Rule the World set against a backdrop of popcorn would be like. All of these revelations were brought to us in the mid eighties and will be nostalgically relived on this weeks webipod. So join us as we remember what it was like when William Atherton played an asshole in every film and The Comsat Angels played the soundtrack to our members only jacket wearing lives. ... ok too many references.

Project London (2013)
04/12/2015http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-090-ProjectLondon.mp3 Download MP3 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to watch a science fiction film made almost entirely by volunteers with almost no budget? … me either. Yet in this week's webipod we bring you Project London!… and no before you ask it doesn't take place in London but rather the super future of Seattle! But wait there's more! It stars no one you know or have ever heard of or likely ever will and was recommended to us by friend of the show Tyler simply because he has a cameo in it… and has never bothered to watch it… (Frankly if you're still reading and have any interest in listening to this episode you're showing a level of dedication to this podcast that frightens me) So join us dear listeners as we tear a new one into some poor bastards life long dream of creating a piece of auteur cinema. p.s. We feel bad about this one… we really do. Original post located at searchforschlock.com.

Starcrash (1978)
20/11/2015http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-089-Starcrash.mp3 Download MP3 Before Turkey brought us Turkish Star Wars and America produced Battle Beyond the [Turkish] Star[ War]s, the Italians took a stab at the Christopher Plummer are in this movie too, by the way, and that's definitely interesting, but can we get back to this all-powerful sidekick? He can bring people back to life. And what's with his hair? Why is he hanging out with a space smuggler? We're so confused right now. Original post located at searchforschlock.com.

The Happening (2008)
06/11/2015http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-088-TheHappening.mp3 Download MP3 Renowned thespian Mark Wahlberg once said of The Happening, "It was a really bad movie... Fuck it. It is what it is. Fucking trees, man. The plants. Fuck it." Portentously, some time earlier Wahlberg famously intoned: "Yo. I need money." Sure, Marky Mark, we all do. And we've all, at some dark point in our lives, considered taking a starring role in an M. Night Shyamalan film. But you know what we do? We pour ourselves a stiff drink, we have a good cry, and then we get up the next morning and don't star in a movie by the guy who made Lady in the Water, because it gets better. Sadly, not everyone is so strong, which is why we're now watching a movie in which Mark Wahlberg furrows his brow and tries to reason with a potted plant.

From Justin To Kelly (2003)
23/10/2015http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-087-FromJustinToKelly.mp3 Download MP3 American Idol -- now in its last season after fifteen years of slow, inexorable decline -- was kind of a big deal in its first season. The winner that year was Kelly Clarkson, arguably the only American Idol contestant to achieve lasting non-niche success in the music industry (sorry, William Hung). As a reward, she and runner-up/Sideshow Bob lookalike Justin Guarini landed starring roles in what the Razzies would later declare the "worst musical in our first 25 years". Although Clarkson recently confirmed rumors that she had once denied -- that she and Guarini were, in fact, locked in the throes of white-hot passion at the time -- you don't see any of that raw sexual attraction on the screen. If anything, the leads seem bored with each other and this entire process. Oh, and by the way it's a musical about text messaging, because that's what all you kids are into. This film is the purest representation you'll find of what mi

Megaforce (1982)
09/10/2015http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-086-Megaforce.mp3 Download MP3 How is it possible that a movie featuring a team of commandos on motorbikes equipped with laser guns didn't completely dominate our culture in the early 80s? Looking back to that era, it's sometimes hard to explain why some entertainment was able to worm its way into our collective unconscious, while others became forgotten relics. Was it a terrible idea to cast Barry Bostwick as a charismatic action star? No, that's a pretty good idea. Was it a bad call to hire former stuntman Hal Needham to helm the thing? Probably not -- he's fresh off Cannonball Run (one of our favorite movies!) and he still hasn't spawned previous webipod subjects Stroker Ace or Rad, so nobody knows that he's terrible yet. And you can't fault the marketing -- we were inspired to add this movie to the list because of its persistent, quite frankly awesome full-page ads in comic books. Is it possible that children thirty-plus years ago had some sense of taste, and
