The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #074 - Eric's 4th ListSeason three comes to an end with our last entry to the "Here is a list" theme being provided by none other than the man with no brother, our host Eric. Eric's fourth list covers everything from jobs we'd be terrible at, the pro's and con's of freelancing, locking the door/holding the door, printed matter, public access and our last meals (don't worry, Tucker doesn't pick pizza). This is the last episode--enjoy!2025-07-281h 07
The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #073 - Tucker's 4th ListTucker's 4th and final list cements the fact that we are in the midst of a full-blown mid-life crisis. Old man topics include morning routines, why we wake up at 2:30AM to pee, relatable animals and plastic surgery. Oh, and don't forget to check out Fenton's Horse Ranch!2025-07-2152 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #072 - Tyler's 4th ListTyler admits he's tapped out but rallied to provide us with his fourth and final list. Tyler's topics take us from overpriced beers to underwhelming gifts. Tucker does a quick TED-talk on coffee, we find out that Tyler has no free time nor way of keeping track of it, and my favorite discovery is that all of us sleep with our arms folded across our chest, ala "vamipire style". We're bringing back pre-gaming, baby--stash those beers in your coat!2025-07-141h 09The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #071 - Eric's Third ListContinuing with our "here is a list" theme for season 3, Eric brings his third list to the table with a collection of deep thoughts and deeper thoughts as the boys discuss bones, our worst jobs, how to feed a large group of people, the scariest things we've done, and the little ways we treat ourselves. And just a word of advice: don't look at pictures of skulls on the Internet all day--it'll change the way you see people. Enjoy!2025-07-071h 02The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #070 - Tucker's 3rd ListOn his third "here is a list" list, Tucker decides to go on a date with his best friend and his brother--and it almost works! In a purposeful attempt to veer away from the "old man rants" on previous episodes, Tucker asks some probing questions to get a variety of answers, including the lost art of crapsmithing. Enjoy!Hot dog inhaler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnrTiuqSLGQ2025-06-3059 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #069 - Tyler's 3rd ListWe keep finding bullet points to add to our lists, and Tyler's third list is no exception. Bullets and other war tech are at the top of Tyler's mind this week, along with the topics of perseverance, getting worked up over stupid shit, video game violence and why Tucker and Eric can't have tequila anymore--enjoy!2025-06-231h 06The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #068 - Eric's 2nd ListThis week's episode from our "Here is a list" season asks probing questions like "How much money have you ever found on the ground?", "How long do you let something go before you fix it?" and "Bumper stickers, yes or no?". Other topics involve embarrassing phases of our lives, bad parental advice and more. As usual, hilarious stories are shared and lessons are learned--enjoy Eric's 2nd list!2025-06-1659 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #067 - Tucker's 2nd ListIn a brief reprieve from yelling at kids on our lawns, we managed to record a podcast with Tucker's old-man rants that range from the pleasures of flying, self-checkout kiosks, inspirational bumper stickers, going off-grid, "wiener stuff", Mr. Pibb, property taxes and what we want to be when we eventually grow up--enjoy!2025-06-091h 09The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #066 - Tyler's Second ListContinuing on with our "Here is a List" themed season, Tyler shares a fantastic list that has the gang discussing everything from how to find happiness, mid-life crisis cars, sexy smoking camels and some really terrible financial decisions. Learn from our Dads' failures!2025-06-021h 04The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #065 - Eric's First ListEric's first contribution to our "Here is a List" season includes reminders about how awesome libraries are, how monotonous maintenance can be, and how important it is to pay attention to your surroundings. Plus, nothing like a classic existential crisis to make you spiral about your legacy and what you're leaving behind--enjoy!2025-05-271h 07The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #064 - Tucker's 1st ListThis episode is full of useful advice regarding oil changes, customer service and when you should and shouldn't bring your child to the emergency room. Tucker unveils his first list of rants and raves and Eric and Tyler are there to help provide a "different" perspective. This one is a certified hoot--enjoy!2025-05-1958 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #063 - Tyler's First ListWelcome to Season 3 of the Kill Power Hour: "Here Is A List", where this season we'll be threading the needle between old-man-rants and talking about the issues and stories that matter to no one but ourselves! Tyler is up with his first list which includes discussion about how much sleep is actually necessary, how hard it is to have a satisfying dining experience these days, and how life isn't actually that terrible, even though the Internet would like you to think otherwise. Tyler touches on a few other topics in his list while Eric and Tucker do their best...2025-05-1259 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #061 - How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (1982)In 1982, two of us were toddlers and one of us hadn't even existed yet, but Bad Religion still went ahead and released their first record which just so happens to be Tucker's favorite album of all time. It's raw California punk by way of Wisconsin, and it's also an exceptionally long compilation album on the streamers, so so we mainly focus on the original release. Tucker and Tyler are die-hards for Bad Religion, but Eric is still on the fence--we'll see if the conclusion of this Masterclass on the BR discography sways his opinions at all. Enjoy inspired-by tracks...2025-05-051h 09The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #060 - Against the Grain (1990)To no one's surprise, Tyler caps off his list of top-ten albums with Bad Religion, notably their 5th studio album "Against the Grain". After referencing no less than three dictionaries, thesauruses and encyclopedias, we're finally able to discuss the lyrical content of Graffin & Gurewitz's theses, sorry--"songs", as well as speculate about what contemporary political protest bands are out there. We're all in our forties, so we have no friggin clue. Enjoy "inspired-by" tracks by the Offspring and Parquet Courts--only one more episode to go!2025-04-281h 07The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #059 - The Mollusk (1997)We're cracking the shell on our favorite records of all-time and Eric is up first with the weird prog-rock meets sea-shanty concept album "The Mollusk", by Ween. Tyler and Tucker struggle to understand the genre-hopping aesthetic, but appreciate the well-crafted tunes, even if they sound like a 6th grader on acid. Comparisons are drawn from the complementary Beatles to the less-than-complementary Flight of the Conchords--enjoy!2025-04-2153 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #058 - Gentlemen (1993)Tucker finishes off our #2's like a professional shit-taker, and Tyler and Eric are right there with their shit-talking. Fortunately, everyone seems to be a fan of the Afghan Whigs' fourth record, and our close look reveals some surprising personal stories as well as connections to songs by Samiam and The Wrens. #1's from here on--enjoy!2025-04-141h 09The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #057 - Damaged (1981)Tyler's 2nd favorite album of all-time marks the debut of Henry Rollins as the frontman for the California hardcore outfit Black Flag, and boy, is he giving it the old college try. Eric can't let go of Henry's Haagen-Daaz past and Tucker is just along for the ride. Inspired-by clips include songs by Nine Inch Nails and Adolescents. Teenage rage is best served in a waffle cone.2025-04-071h 04The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #056 - Propeller (1992)Are you ready to rock? Eric shares his 2nd favorite record of all-time, one of Guided by Voices' top 100 albums, the beer-soaked garage-rock masterpiece Propellor. It takes Tucker and Tyler a while to come to the collage aesthetic that Pollard and his drinking buddies employ, but they can't deny the power of a good melody and some fist-pumping tunes. They even bring some surprises to the table, with "inspired-by" tracks from Arthur Russel and The Zombies. Enjoy!2025-03-3152 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #055 - Liquid Swords (1995)In 1995, Gary Grice, AKA the Genius AKA the GZA AKA the Jizzer, released what most would agree is the strongest solo album from any of the Wu-Tang Clansmen. If you listen closely in between the scratchy kung-fu samples and non-stop appearances from the rest of the Wu-Tang clan, you can almost see the GZA's stories unfold before you. Tucker's pick for 3rd best album of all-time is rock-solid and Eric and Tyler connect the dots with tracks by Mobb Deep and Nas. Enjoy "Rap Week" on the Kill Power Hour!2025-03-2458 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #054 - Black Sails in the Sunset (1999)Tyler kicks off his top-3 with the American Film Institute's 4th studio album, and according to Tucker & his brother, the album that launched "Screamo". Eric is impressed by the band's technical chops and curious about the black-magic lyrical content. The older boys get to educate Tyler about the "hidden track" before the first song on CDs and also connect AFI's sound to folks like Metallica and the Japandroids. We'll see how long this one stays up for!2025-03-1759 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #053 - American Water (1998)We're in the top 3's, which means we're not f*cking around anymore, and songs from these albums will probably be played at our funerals. Eric's up first with his 3rd favorite album of all time, the Silver Jews' 1998 album 'American Water'. Eric loves the perfection of the language and the sloppiness of its performance, but Tyler and Tucker come around and are even able to connect the Jews' influence to bands like Sebadoh and Flight of the Conchords. Enjoy!2025-03-1053 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #052 - Generator (1992)Get ready for school, kids! Bad Religion makes their first appearance (of probably many) on the podcast with Tucker's pick for 4th greatest album. This is true punk rock, but Eric is most surprised by the number of words-per-minute Greg Graffin can cram into each song. Tyler and Eric connect the dots by linking Bad Religion's sound to No Use for a Name and Wire. Enjoy!2025-03-041h 06The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #051 - Elliott Smith (1995)Tyler's 4fth favorite album of all time is probably his most emo pick, but that's what happens when your older brother gives you Minidiscs. While this self-titled release from Smith isn't his first record, it does mark his debut on Kill Rock Stars, a label name that Smith took way too literally. Tucker and Eric fully support this album and are able to connect it to bands like The Rolling Stones and Sparklehorse. For some reason we remember "Bum Fights"--enjoy!2025-02-2447 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #050 - Seamonsters (1991)Sometimes when you listen to album over and over, you tend to block out what other people might hear as flaws--case in point: David Gedge's voice. While Eric fully stands by his choice of Seamonsters for his 4th favorite album of all time, Tyler and Tucker's all-American ears can't stand to hear a Brit sing. Their loss! This album brings together the anger and lust of broken relationships with the classic abrasive Albini sound. Tucker and Tyler do their best to connect to the album through tracks by China Drum and Sixpence None the Richer...Enjoy!2025-02-1853 min
The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #049 - Who Needs Who (2012)There's something to be said about playing in a band with your ex. Tucker picks a somewhat obscure release for his 5th favorite album of all-time. The Minneapolis chamber-folk band Dark Dark Dark was caught in the middle of ending a romantic relationship between two of its members while recording this album. Yikes! All that tension makes for some uneasy listening, but the music is actually quite beautiful. Tyler manages to connect this to an even-more obscure release by Joey Cape while Eric sticks to the basics with Leonard Cohen. 2025-02-1051 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #048 - Element of Sonic Defiance (2000)Tyler's 5th favorite album of all time isn't really an album according to our friends at Wikipedia, but we're not known for following directions that closely (see episode #007, season one). This extended play by Strung Out is tight, fast & complex and has some of the worst cover art we've seen. Tucker and Eric bring all the Y2K energy and connect the dots from Strung Out to Pennwise and Marnie Stern--enjoy!2025-02-0457 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #047 - A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004)Eric starts off the top 5 with a controversial choice: a concept album by a white British rapper. The album would be bad enough on its own, but then you also have to listen to Eric explain why it's so good. Still, the rest of the Kill Power Crew entertain this bizarre choice and even manage to relate it to some more relatable acts like the Beastie Boys and Hot Hot Heat. 2025-01-271h 02The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #046 - The Ugly Organ (2003)Tucker's 6th favorite album of all-time is as messy as a break-up and as layered as a lasagna. Cursive's 4th album is received well by all members of Kill Power, with Eric & Tyler connecting the sound of the album to tracks by the Rollins Band and Of Montreal. Tyler even shares a hilarious story about mushrooms--bonus!2025-01-2155 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #045 - Period (2018)Where the bag at? Who's yo man? How does a loving god allow an album like this to happen? These are just some of the questions the City Girls ask on their landmark debut mixtape, which just so happens to be Tyler's 6th favorite album of all time. It's also the official soundtrack for drinking shitty beer in a broken hot tub. In addition to the City Girls, the Kill Power crew listens to tracks from Gucci Mane, V-Nasty and Lil' Kim. Enjoy this "rap shit".2025-01-1355 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #044 - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One (1997)Clocking in at just over 68 minutes, chock-full of pop nuggets, lullabies and daydream instrumentals, Yo La Tengo's 8th studio album is Eric's 6th favorite record of all time. Cutting through the nostalgic haze, Tucker and Tyler connect YLT's sound to Broadcast and Fluf, and it surprisingly works. Pull on your autumn sweater and enjoy.2025-01-0653 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #043 - Are We There (2014)Sometimes our favorite albums need to be forcefully imprinted onto our skulls, much like how Tucker received a concussion after seeing Sharon Van Etten on her Are We There tour. Tucker's 7th favorite album is admittedly his "sappiest", but after we get past that, there's enough on this record for all of us to find something interesting. Somehow this path leads us from Aimee Mann to Miami Sound Machine...enjoy!2024-12-3053 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #042 - Allroy's Revenge (1989)Sometimes inviting a homeless person to join your band works out--case in point, Tyler's 7th favorite album. Tyler is adamant that All is not a punk band, even though 3/4 of the band were also in the Descendents. Eric finds fault in the album's production, but appreciates the number of songwriters contributing material to the album. Tucker is stoked because, well, it's punk! Dots are connected from Millencolin to the Replacements--play it loud.2024-12-2451 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #041 - Pet Sounds (1966)Eric picks the heavyweight Pet Sounds as his 7th favorite album of all time, and while Tucker & Tyler are both impressed by this record on paper, they have a tough time connecting to it musically. Inspired tracks take us from Arthur Russell and back again to the Beach Boys. Was John Stamos ever part of the band? God only knows...2024-12-1651 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #040 - Ted Lucas (1975)What do you get when you combine a talented Motown session musician with a metric ton of ditchweed? Ted Lucas's eponymous album from 1975 might give you some clues. The hazy mellow quality of his poppier work is contrasted with some experimental ragas and leaves the Kill Power crew a bit befuddled but still digging it. Eric & Tyler try to connect with Tucker's 8th favorite album by connecting the threads from Nick Drake to Lou Barlow. Spark a blunt & enjoy, stoners!2024-12-0947 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #039 - Never Again (1984)With a name as appetizing as "Discharge", there's no hesitation about putting this in our ears. Tyler's 8th favorite album sounds exactly like you think it would, but Eric learns to appreciate how a disgusting lump of coal can inspire diamonds, even if that diamond is Motley Crue. Tucker hilariously shits on Tyler's favorite song and we eventually make it though 47 minutes of Discharge.2024-12-0247 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #038 - Let England Shake (2011)Even though she's the only artist to win the Mercury Prize twice, PJ Harvey's discography has yet to repeat itself. In this episode Eric picks her 2011 anti-war record Let England Shake as his 8th favorite album of all-time. Despite Tucker & Tyler's inability to appreciate the auto-harp, they manage to find common ground with the anti-war message and connect this album to songs by Blond Redhead and Metric, making for one of our best-sounding podcasts yet.2024-11-2544 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #037 - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood (2006)Brooks & Dunn ain't got nothing on Neko Case, even if the Kill Power crew can't agree on a way to describe her musical style. Tucker's 9th favorite album of all-time brings up some hilarious forgotten stories and musical connections are made all the way back from the Carter Sisters to the Breeders. 2024-11-1854 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #036 - Punk in Drublic (1994)The mid-nineties were important years for punk rock as it entered into the mainstream, thanks in part to albums like this NOFX opus, which Tyler can't remember the name of even if it's his 9th favorite record. Eric is impressed by the vocal harmonies on the record, while Tucker helps contextualize the many sub-genres of punk rock for Eric. Secret tracks, joke songs and skateboards are brought up alongside Weezer and No Use for a Name. Don't call us white, we prefer "milky caucasians".2024-11-1153 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #035 - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (1992)Listen with glee as Eric gets raked over the coals for his 9th favorite record of all-time, Aphex Twin's debut collection of (mostly) easy-listening instrumentals. Tucker and Tyler try their best to relate to what Eric describes as "Intelligent Dance Music" via Fischerspooner and The Postal Service. Listen to the end for a somewhat interesting conversation about warmth in electronic music plus a bonus track by Midwest Product.2024-11-0451 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #034 - Yes (1995)Tucker's 10th favorite album is a sultry, bassy commercial breakthrough by the band Morphine, and an album the entire Kill Power crew can get behind. Tyler and Eric's inspired tracks take us from Fiona Apple to Marvin Gaye, and 2/3 of the crew share stories about starting over from scratch. There better be at least two anaesthesiologists on duty, because you're about to go under...2024-10-2853 min
The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #033 - Danzig (1988)School is in and Professor Tyler educates Eric & Tucker on the value of the Church of Satan and what Eric calls "sex metal", while Eric teaches Tucker about the bible. Even though we spend half the episode laughing at Glen Danzig's looks, we also connect the dots between Iron Maiden and Roy Orbison via what we all agree is a solid album by Danzig.2024-10-2250 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #032 - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo (1978)A brand new season means a brand new topic for the Kill Power crew--and this time we're ranking our top ten favorite albums of ALL TIME. Eric starts things off with his 10th favorite, Devo's debut album, which he claims has the best cover song of all time on it. Tucker and Tyler try to connect the dots by relating Devo's sounds & subject matter to bands like Suicidal Tendencies and the B-52's. We'll see how long this episode stays up...2024-10-1455 min
The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #030 - Spaceballs (1987)In 1987 the Minnesota Twins won their first World Series, Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" was dominating the radio and Tyler's favorite movie of all time, the fantastic Mel Brooks Star Wars parody called Spaceballs, was released. We don't really have much to say about the movie other than quoting the entire script, but it's a fantastic comedy that holds up to repeat viewing. Thus concludes the first season of the Kill Power Hour--what's next?2024-10-081h 05The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #030 - Spaceballs (1987)In 1987 the Minnesota Twins won their first World Series, Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" was dominating the radio and Tyler's favorite movie of all time, the fantastic Mel Brooks Star Wars parody called Spaceballs, was released. We don't really have much to say about the movie other than quoting the entire script, but it's a fantastic comedy that holds up to repeat viewing. Thus concludes the first season of the Kill Power Hour--what's next?2024-10-081h 05The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #029 - Boogie Nights (1997)With a running time equal to the girth of the prosthetic dick in its famous last scene, Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights" left a lasting impression on young Eric. Mirroring the subject matter of LA's porn industry, this movie has its emotional up-and-downs. Above all, Boogie Nights has an amazing cast that deliver on their performances matched only by Anderson's direction. Tyler proves himself to be a person capable of empathy and was also the only one of us to know that Burt Reynolds is dead--good job, Tyler! Tucker also has one of the saddest prom stories I've ever...2024-10-0154 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #028 - The Life Aquatic (2004)Tucker's #1 favorite movie of all-time combines some of our favorite actors, a hell of a soundtrack, and some amazing visuals. While we're a bit torn on Bill Murray as a person vs. Bill Murray as an actor, we all agree that this is a pretty amazing film.2024-09-231h 01The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #027 - Cobra (1986)Eric becomes a Gerrick after having finally watched one of the lowest lows of Sylvester Stallone's career, 1986's Cobra. Tyler's 2nd favorite film doesn't really make much sense, but if you're only going to have two movies to watch for the first 15 years of your life, you could come up with a lot worse. Get ready for 45 minutes of terrible Stallone impressions!2024-09-1655 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #026 - Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985)Eric drops his second favorite movie of all-time, the all-ages comedy & debut film by Paul Reubens and Tim Burton , Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. In addition to recapping our favorite lines we discover some very disturbing things about Tyler's health class. Note that this was recorded prior to Paul Reuben's passing--R.I.P.2024-09-0948 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #025 - The Jerk (1979)The boys spend a good chunk of time recalling their favorite moments from Steve Martin's debut movie that transformed him from a popular stand-up comedian to a movie star. We must have recorded this one at the end of a long day because we sound tired. Did I mention that he hates these cans?2024-09-0248 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #024 - Dolemite Is My Name (2019)Tyler's third favorite movie of all time is a marker of Eddie Murphy's late-career comeback and a celebration of Rudy Ray Moore, the creator of Dolemite. Listen along as three white guys analyze the history of blaxploitation and sup-par karate stunts!2024-08-2646 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #023 - Office Space (1999)Eric puts forth his 3rd favorite movie of all-time, the meme-inspiring and workplace comedy Office Space. Featuring some of the best character actors alongside Jennifer Aniston (supposedly a famous American actress), this film changes lives. The boys relate with their own stories from early employment, and If you've ever worked a day in your life, chances are you can relate, too. 2024-08-1940 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #022 - Jurassic Park (1993)Tucker starts off our top 3's with a solid Spielberg blockbuster featuring realistic dinosaurs and the dumbest children on the silver screen. Even though we pick apart the plot holes in the film, we all agree it's a thoroughly entertaining movie. Tyler pitches an alternative to Sea World (a "whale farm") to Eric's delight.2024-08-1258 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #021 - First Blood (1982)More commonly known as "the only good Rambo movie", First Blood continues Tyler's rare streak of picking great movies. It's a solid action flick and Tucker & Tyler wax poetic about their exceptionally limited movie selection as kids while Eric is blown away by how badly John Rambo needs therapy and how hilariously anti-police this movie seems.2024-08-0657 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #020 - Fitzcarraldo (1982)Tyler and Tucker are completely shocked that Eric would pick another artsy foreign film for his top-ten list, but at least this one has a boat being dragged over a mountain--literally. In the end we're all pretty impressed by the audacity of Werner Herzog and the sheer insanity of Klaus Kinski, but Tucker gives his highest praise thus far by claiming he didn't fall asleep during the movie--take that, Batman!2024-07-3044 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #019 - Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)The boys have clearly been spending way too much time at Dipstick's Pickle Club as this week's conversation is all over the map. Eric & Tyler share their hatred of the amnesia movie genre while Tucker tries to defend his choice because...Madonna. We all agree that it's his "Rhinestone" of the season.2024-07-2251 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #018 - O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)Tyler surprises us all and actually picks a good film for the podcast. The gang waxes poetic about how the Coen brothers used the best parts of the American South, character actors and the Odyssey. Eric reveals his own private top-3 list which Tucker attempts to make on the fly with hilarious results--listen to this one 'til the end.2024-07-1658 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #017 - Sherman's March (1986)Eric gets arty with his 5th favorite movie of all-time, this cinema vérité dating memoir by Ross McElwee. Tucker and Tyler surprisingly don't hate it but don't like it either, and Eric gets to teach them both a very challenging bedroom move.2024-07-0959 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #016 - The Witches of Eastwick (1987)Tucker picks a horned-up and bizarre comedy with the 80's biggest stars operating at about 50% of their power. We're all equally confused by the plot, but luckily there are enough dick jokes and Jack Nicholson-isms to keep us engaged.2024-07-0155 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #015 - You Only Live Twice (1967)Sex(ism) sells and Tyler is fully sold on his 6th favorite movie of all time--a James Bond classic. Eric finally realizes where Austin Powers got all of its references from and Tucker tries to piece together his notes between falling asleep and folding laundry. Everyone is impressed by the watermelon budget.2024-06-2553 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #014 - Rushmore (1998)Wes Anderson's early work holds a special place in Eric's heart & Rushmore brings together a solid cast (the return of Bill Murray!) with an amazing soundtrack. Tucker largely agrees but Tyler thinks Anderson peaks later in his career. Fortunately, Tyler's opinions no longer matter after making us watch Rhinestone--enjoy!2024-06-1748 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #013 - After the Thin Man (1936)From the depths of a pizza binge in 2009, Tucker discovered this series of whodunnit films from the 1930's that apparently made a big enough impression on him to include one on his top ten list. If you can get past the fact that everyone talks like a Looney Tunes gangster, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic performance by Jimmy Stewart of someone losing their mind. Tyler and Eric try to keep theirs as they unravel the most convoluted plot they've ever seen.2024-06-1057 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #012 - Rhinestone (1984)It's only #7 on Tyler's top ten list, but Rhinestone could easily be the #1 worst movie made in the 80's--so much so that the two stars, Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton, are loath to acknowledge it. But the Kill Power crew manages to turn these hog nuggets into gold and even come up with a much better ending to the movie. Stallone: take note!2024-06-0353 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #011 - All The President's Men (1976)Robert Redford & Dustin Hoffman share the screen in this procedural film about the breaking of the Watergate scandal. Eric fans out over his 7th favorite movie while he struggles to make it seem interesting to Tyler, who has never read a newspaper in his life, and Tucker, who seems more interested in lapels than the actual plot.2024-05-2741 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #010 - Batman Returns (1992)Only Tim Burton would star one of the most attractive characters of all time against one of the most disgusting, and only Tucker would pick that as his 7th favorite movie of all time. In addition to Catwoman and the Penguin, we cover pretty much every aspect of this early superhero movie, in all of its Cobblepot glory. Meow.2024-05-201h 08The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #009 - The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978)Tyler's 8th favorite movie of all time is a little-known kung-fu prequel to American Gladiators. We go through every single chamber in painstaking detail, so get ready and strap on your bells as we discuss The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.2024-05-1354 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #008 - Con Air (1997)This action-packed Bruckheimer production features an all-star cast along with some of the worst hair and southern accents to ever grace the silver screen. Eric's 8th favorite film of all time is riddled with plot holes, but you're really just supposed to focus on the explosions and jokes. Don't forget to put the bunny back in the box.2024-05-0657 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #007 - Lovers Rock (2020)Tucker walks us through his 8th favorite movie of all time, but Tyler and Eric find the "movie" label unconvincing. Steve McQueen must have been channeling the spirit of a HP LaserJet printer because this movie is JAMMING.2024-04-2944 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #006 - Cleopatra (1963)We all had to take a half-day at work in order to watch Tyler's 9th favorite movie of all time, the 4+ hour epic Cleopatra. Tyler is blown away by the sets and extras while Tucker and Eric focus more on Elizabeth Taylor's costumes. Send in another turtle!2024-04-221h 05The Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #005 - Stalker (1979)We collectively slog through the beautiful & nap-inducing Stalker, the 1979 slow burn by Andrey Tarkovsky, which happens to be Eric’s 9th favorite film of all time. Eric tries his best to argue that this is important and artistic film, but Tucker & Tyler get hung up on the lack of pizza and the English language, respectively.2024-04-1546 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #004 - Transformers (1986)Get ready for a masterclass in Transformers facts as Tucker walks us through his 9th favorite movie of all time, the 1986 animated commercial—sorry—“movie”, Transformers. We love a kids flick where the hero gets smoked in the first act while several Stan Bush classics dominate the soundtrack. Also, this movie is a fitting bookend to Orson Welles’ career as I can’t think of another film more unlike Citizen Kane.2024-04-0857 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #003 - DogmaKevin Smith had it right when he protested his own movie: Dogma is dog sh!t. It's also Tyler's 10th favorite movie of all time. We bond over our shared love of George Carlin & Chris Rock and our equally shared hatred of Ben Affleck.2024-04-0153 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #002 - Dead AliveEric chooses the absolutely disgusting 1992 film “Braindead” (Dead Alive in North America) as his 10th favorite movie. Tucker reenacts the grunting mom in the grossest way and Tyler’s hatred of New Zealanders is on full display. We all wonder how much this movie influenced Mortal Kombat or if it was the other way around.2024-03-2547 minThe Kill Power HourThe Kill Power Hour #001 - GattacaThree friends, two brothers & one podcast: The premiere episode & season of the Kill Power Hour gets right into our top-ten lists of favorite movies. Tucker starts things off by going into why the 1997 film Gattaca is is his 10th favorite film of all time. Tyler and Eric are left wondering if they are de-gene-rates.2024-03-1846 min
