Mondo Cool Movie Dudes

Join us for our review of Small Soldiers a very weird movie the three of us grew up watching about super advanced toy soldiers waging war on their Gorgonite Scum enemies and the suburban neighborhood they inhabit. It featured some funny performances from David Cross, Denis Leary and especially Phil Hartman. We hope you like this return to the world of Joe Dante! Not since they days of The 'Burbs... Join us again next time for 1989's Road House!

We recently had a conversation centered around Sonic the Hedgehog, comparing the weirdass new live action trailer with an earlier fan film and also talking about the games and the even weirder fan base! Mack drops in a sports update to wrap it up. Enjoy!

This week we review Shrek 2, the massively successful sequel to the massively successful film about a green guy who eats bugs and bathes in filth. Was it better or worse than the original? Why was the king such a wuss? What was up with Pinocchio's under garments? Why is Donkey so annoying this time? These questions in more in the modern day School of Athens that is Mondo Cool Movie Dudes. Join us next time for Small Soldiers!

That’s right, we’re not dead yet! For the first time in 14 months we’ve re-emerged to bring you our long promised review of 1985’s Mask, starring Eric Stoltz, Cher and Sam Elliott. It’s the story of a seriously disfigured kid who’s pretty much raised by a biker gang, but still gets the most out of life. It turns out to be anything but the Hallmark Hall of Fame style schlock fest that we envisioned. Thanks for waiting, and join us again soon for 2004’s Shrek 2!
