Episode 117 ~ Rent-A-Kid (1995)

This was a bit of a detour for us, but not a completely unwelcome one. This pleasant family comedy from the early days of the Disney Channel before the Mouse started making their own, is very much of its time. You know what you're getting on the tin.

That said, despite the above description, it's not all that interesting a watch. Find out how it works in today's episode

Episode 116 ~ Problem Child (1990)

Get ready for another discord episode! We've been dealing with some things in real life recently, which lead to today's episode being done online. Did it work out well? Here's hoping, because it ended up with a longer episode than usual.

Today we take a look at a surprise hit movie and the start of a short-lived franchise in Problem Child from 1990! Does it hold up or is it as bad as the critics said it was? Find out in today's crazy length of an episode!

Episode 115 ~ Weird: The Al Yankovic Story [2022]

This was the obvious follow-up from last week: it's the other Weird Al movie! And wouldn't you know it, this one is just as good as UHF from 1989!

Weird simultaneously skewers music documentaries with the same brand of Weird Al comedy you definitely know so well by now. To go into what it gets right (and wrong) about Al Yankovic's life story would require an entire episode itself, but what it does get right is the comedy. This film is easily on par with the cult favorite UHF.

Episode 114 ~ UHF (1989)

We can finally cross this one off our list! After year's of promising 1989's UHF and not delivering, we eventually managed to get around to it! If you don't know what this is, I don't think I can do much to describe it in enough detail to have it make sense. It's the "Weird" Al Yankovic movie with the memes you've probably seen online.

And it not only holds up, it's still as good a movie as ever. You will have just as much of a blast watching UHF today as you did in 1989.

Check out why in today's episode!
