Michael, baby, please. I'm almost a half an hour late

This time we review the movie that IMDB rated as the 21st worst movie of all time:  Zombie Nation.  A police officer with a German accent born and raised in Los Angeles (to an American mother who is obsessed with cleanliness and runs a mental institution) lives in an ex-asylum / furniture store / apartment and begins murdering women there.  Yes this is what the movie's about.  Yes I felt weird typing that sentence.  Eventually the women become zombies who don't look like zombies (but apparently do and don't look like zombies), and enact their revenge after walking into the police department and getting jobs there.  Lady Luck hates us, she really hates us.

Casting for competition

Zac and Biggs have apparently upset Lady Luck.  She punishes us this week with Unstable Fables:  Tortoise vs. Hare.  See what happens when the Jim Henson company slums it by animating Jay Leno, Danny Glover and Vivica A. Fox in an unfunny take on the fable we all know...but never asked for.  We watched it so that you don't have to.  You're welcome.

Two, three, five, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, nineteen, seventeen, fifteen, seventeen...

Lady Luck has Zac and Biggs watch the enduring drama:  What's Eating Gilbert Grape.  Find out what happens when a man young adult is saddled with a morbidly obese mother, a mentally challenged brother, a nomadic girlfriend, a crazy cougar on the side, and a job at a grocery store with no lobster tank.  This pull from 1993 stars Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis, Crispin Glover, John C. Reilly, and Leonardo DiCaprio in his first Academy Award nominated performance.

They killed the boy. They killed young Paolo

Welcome to the podcast where Alex "Biggs" Small and Zachary "Zac" Lachenbruch pick a movie off of Netflix at random.  Sometimes the movies are wonderful;  sometimes the movies are wretched.  Today we go into great detail covering arguably one of the greatest movies in cinematic history:  The Godfather Part II. Francis Ford Coppola  directed Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, John Cazale, Bruno Kirby, and Diane Keaton in this gangster epic that tells tales from the twenties and fifties concurrently.  The movie won Best Picture in 1975, nabbing five other Oscars along the way.
