Movie Dumpster

Père Noël is coming down our chimney this week as Trashing Through the Snow jingles on! Somewhere in the MDU, a young boy Simon's parents mysteriously vanish in Africa and nobody has the heart to tell him that they are secretly Oscorp scientists being held hostage by a militia leader. Hoping to have them home for Christmas, Simon writes a letter to Santa asking for help and oh, by gosh, by golly does Santa Claus pull through! With the help of his Fairy Godmother Karen Chéryl and her magic wand, Santa takes a trek across Africa to find Simon's parents, come hell or high crocodile-infested water. If that wasn't enough, Simon and his possible imaginary friend Elodie travel to the North Pole (or Rovaniemi, Finland we guess), to make sure Santa doesn't back out. Oh and there's an Ogre living in the woods that kidnaps them and forces them to clean his house until he's ready to eat them! So hop on a flight to Santa's workshop, say hello to Phineas T. Prune while you're in town

Trashing Through the Snow is back and those slay bells are ringing! After tackling a mutant-serial-killer-snowman into a pick-up truck bed full of anti-freeze, sheriff Sam Tiler is still not convinced Jack Frost is truly dead. His worst fears are confirmed when a gravedigger gives up the location of Jack's burial mound to an FBI agent. Still being encased in his plastic bottle prison, his liquid remains are dumped into a fish tank for studying. Just add a hot cup of revivifying java courtesy of a clumsy janitor, and Jack Frost is back for his icy revenge–with some new chilling powers to boot! The very famous Tony from 'Hack the Movies' joins us to discuss the logistics of turning into ice-cubes for nefarious purposes, mistaken actor identities, and of course, eye trauma. Crack yourself a cold Asahi™ and pick a nice bunch of bananas from Donkey Kong's hoard, because we're icin' and slicin' into Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman!Support the show (https://www.p

The Real Ghostbusters S1 E10"Take Two":Get ready for Hollywood's surefire blockbuster about the Ghostbusters. The advisors to the project are the guys themselves, and Slimer joins them on their flight to Hollywood. Tinsel Town may not be ready for the resulting antics, but bigger problems await. The studio turns out to be the home to a ghost that demands total peace and quiet, and it has just woken up. Even worse, workers mistake the proton packs for props and place them in storage without the Ghostbusters' knowledge. When the ghost possesses a giant robot prop and begins an attack, the guys find themselves completely defenseless.Original Air Date: November 15, 1986Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

WHO YA GONNA CALL? EGON’S GRANDKIDS! Dr. La Scola and Dr. O’Rourke are talking about ‘Ghostbusters 3’ if you will, the long-awaited sequel to the 1984 and 1989 classic Ghostbusters movies. Director Jason Reitman brings back Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd and many more familiar faces from the first two films, connecting them with a new cast of characters led by Phoebe Spengler (Mckenna Grace), who Sean repeatedly refers to as “Paige” during this episode for reasons unknown–perhaps a little too much of that expired Ecto Cooler! She’s joined by her brother Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and podcasting friend Podcast (Logan Kim) in zapping and trapping ghosts, with a little help from Phoebe’s summer school teacher Mr. Grooberson (Paul Rudd). So slip into your flight suit, slap on your proton pack, and hop into the Ecto-1, because it’s Dumpster Busters time in a brand new Ripe Review of ‘Ghostbusters Afterlife’!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

While rebuilding their headquarters and Ecto-Containment Unit, the group is forced to deal with a certain green ghost from the Sedgwick Hotel (which Ray named Slimer). But having the green ghost constantly hanging around them is nothing compared to the trouble they have when a group of evil ghostly doubles decide to take their place, by getting rid of the original Ghostbusters.Original Air Date: November 22, 1986Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

Roger Corman strikes back at the MDU with this unreleased superhero flick based on Marvel’s First Family!

Phil Fondacaro delivers some of his best work to date, Sonny Bono and Julia Louis-Dreyfus fall prey to the costume jewelry ring of floral death, and Shelly Shack strikes back from ‘The Stepfather’ so you know there are MDU family matters at stake here.

Fallen Empire is well underway, and we have a David DeCoteau classic in tow! After a group of horny nerds crash a sorority pledge initiation, they are forced to steal a bowling trophy from a local mall with the aide of the two pledging sisters.

Officially released under Charles Band's 'Urban Classics' label, this flick brings Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, Michelle Bauer, and Hal Havins together under one zany roof! Mr. Lobo of 'Cinema Insomnia' joins us to answer the hard questions–Why does the imp sound like Screamin' Jay Hawkins? Were there no socks available for a simulated sex scene? Who's mall is this exactly and why don't they pay George Flower enough to buy a new hearing aid?
