In Defense of: A Movie PodcastDan and Cody talk The Rise of SkywalkerPeople have a lot of very strong opinions about the current state of Star Wars under Disney's leadership. Many fans were sent reeling after Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi - taking to the internet to vent their anger and frustrations. Now, with the final film in the Skywalker Saga fast approaching, many are asking, "Will this one unite the fractured fan base? Or plunge it into darkness forever and ever?" Is such a thing even possible? Are people forgetting how good of a time it is to be a Star Wars fan right now? Dan sits down with...2019-09-111h 27
In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of The Last AirbenderIf it's one thing that both critics and fans of the beloved series can agree on, it's that M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" failed to deliver the goods. In fact, as far as sheer anger goes, this one really seems to take the cake. From name pronunciations to major character arc omissions, "The Last Airbender" is a fascinating cautionary tale on how NOT to approach an adaptation. So the question is, how do you defend a movie that the very creators of the source material hate and pretend doesn't exist? Come along on the journey as Aaron leads D...2019-09-061h 09In Defense of: A Movie PodcastJury Duty #05 - Audience Poll Winner, Good Boys and Ready or NotIt's time for some Jury Duty for September 4th, 2019!

In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of All About SteveIs it solvable? Is it entertaining? Does it sparkle?

But what started as a simple task takes an extraordinary and unexpected turn, and nearly melts their brains. This episode is All About Steve. Do not miss it!

In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of Battlefield EarthYou knew this was coming. It's impossible to talk about legendarily bad movies without eventually mentioning John Travolta's epic Sci-Fi misfire, Battlefield Earth. Dutch angles, terrible special effects, Scientology, George Lucas, - there's a lot to unpack here. But for all this, does Battlefield Earth manage to deserve "so bad it is good" status? Or is it truly as bad as people say it is? Dan and Aaron put their rat brains to the test!

In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of The Love GuruAfter blazing his way through the Austin Powers trilogy and the Shrek trilogy (at the time) many were asking, "what will Mike Myers do next?" Well, this bizarre, zany, offensive, and often perverse comedy was the answer, and if the ratings are anything to go by, it wasn't what anybody had hoped for. But is there anything in The Love Guru worth redeeming? Dan and Aaron travel back to 2008 to seek inner peace. Mariska Hargitay!

In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of The Emoji MovieImagine a movie entirely based on Emojis. Now imagine that your lead character is the physical embodiment of "Meh". Now imagine that movie bloated with product placement deals. Sounds like a drag, right? On this episode Dan and Aaron discuss the twisty tale of the Emoji movie, review embargo's, product placement, and the ongoing litigation of one T.J. Miller. I guess if you're going to make a movie about Emoji's this is how you do it?

In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of GigliBuckle up for Bennifer! Dan and Aaron attempt the impossible: defending 2003's Gigli. A film so misguided, so tonally confused, so offensive, and so over-long that it could be used in psychological warfare. Is there really anything to take away from this mess besides a headache and a deep rooted sorrow for humanity? The answer might surprise you. Come along for the toughest challenge yet. It's turkey time!

In Defense of: A Movie PodcastIn Defense of The Master of DisguiseLove it or hate it, you've no doubt had Dana Carvey's Turtle Guy burned into your memory from 2002's The Master of Disguise. But does this chaotic mess of a film really deserve the abysmal 1% it sits at on the Tomatometer? Dan and Aaron don't think so, and are willing to bet that they can give you a fresh perspective on this bizarre little comedy.

Climb aboard to learn more about the bizarre twisted tale that is, 1995's Waterworld and why it may deserve a second chance. Nothing's free in Waterworld, but this podcast is.
