Quality Home EntertainmentJust FriendsWe're continuing our celebration of the holiday season with the 2005 comedy Just Friends, a movie about the dreaded "Friend Zone" and how women just aren't allowed to have male best friends and go about their business...also it takes place during Christmas. Also also, it is our last episode. Weird one to go out on but this movie's come up a few times throughout the show and it's interesting to track Ryan Reynolds' career. We also read about a movie called Spring Break Lawyer because the early 2000s were a special time.
If you've listened to any...2024-12-261h 33
Quality Home EntertainmentOpen WaterGot a little bit of everything going on in this installment of Sharktoberfest. Dustin and Logan are reaching back into the digital video days of early aughts with the indie hit, Open Water, a film that is more mumblecore than survival thriller. They also sample (and spill) the Oktoberfest from Sixpoint Brewery while Dustin tries his best to conjure up some fest facts. Then, they finish out the show with an extended chat about some of the other things they're been watching to get into the Halloween spirit!2024-10-081h 08
Quality Home EntertainmentCruel JawsAgainst all odds, it's back. That season of German-style beers and horrible shark movies. It's...SHARKTOBERFEST!!!
Somehow Logan and Dustin have found their way back to the beginning and must endure another festive fish fiasco! For this first episode, they tackle Cruel Jaws, a movie that rips off the Jaws franchise so hard that it actually includes unauthorized footage from all four Jaws films and tried to be released under the title "Jaws 5". Paired with this cinematic heist, is Big Grove Brewery's Oktoberfest Marzen-Style Lager. Let kick things off right!2024-09-261h 47
Quality Home EntertainmentRoad House (2024)It's time to get punchy and talk about some meat slapping as Dustin and Logan dig into the 2024 remake of Road House. It's a reboot that takes the wildly simple story of the source material and decides to jazz it up with too many characters, bad pacing, and UFC fighter acting. At least the movie features one of Logan's good friends. The boys also have hot takes Barbie and Star Trek: Voyager, because this is a timely and relevant show.2024-04-091h 28
Quality Home EntertainmentThe Black DemonDustin and Logan are diving into another Sharktoberfest with a new movie that combines mythology, corporate espionage, family drama, oil rigs and, of course, sharks! They watched 2023's the Black Demon, a movie that allegedly had a theatrical run and was a surprise hit on Amazon Prime. Josh Lucas stars in this fantasy/environmentalist thriller as an oil man that finds himself fighting a prehistoric shark summoned by an Aztec god. To choke down this mish-mash of ideas, Logan and Dustin sample Bell's Brewery's Octoberfest Beer. Sharktoberfest is back for revenge! And it won't stop until a sacrifice has...2023-10-171h 12
Quality Home EntertainmentEight Legged FreaksLogan and Dustin are wrapping up their Summer to Remember (in October) with the 2002 David Arquette vehicle, Eight Legged Freaks. A film that dares to ask what if Dewey from Scream had to fight giant spiders that act kinda like the gremlins from Gremlins? Dustin and Logan seem to try their hardest to not actually talk about the movie while also thinking way too hard about how to fix it. Have our hosts finally lost their minds? Why do they love creating themes and structures and then fight against them so hard? Hopefully nothing from the past comes back...2023-10-061h 50
Quality Home EntertainmentEvil Dead IIDustin and Logan are finally getting around to the next installment of their Evil Dead series by covering the 1987 gonzo-horror-comedy masterpiece, Evil Dead II aka Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn. It's probably the most important film in the Evil Dead canon. It kinda remakes the first one, sets up the tone for the future, and fully forms the character of Ash Williams.
Logan and Dustin get into all of it. They go through the film's madness, cover the stories behind the scenes, and attempt to clarify the rules of the Deadites. They also pitch their own Evil...2023-09-291h 45
Quality Home EntertainmentSaving SilvermanAs Logan and Dustin's "Summer to Remember" winds down, they look at one of their favorite comedies from their youth. Saving Silverman is a goofball comedy about kidnapping, toxic romances, and Neil Diamond. Does it hold up? You'll have to listen to hear these two old friends analyze a silly movie and delve into the state of comedy films in the early 2000s.2023-09-061h 40
Quality Home EntertainmentFirst Films - Spielberg, Cameron, & NolanLost Episode #2 - Remember back in 2021 when Dustin and Logan were going to change the name of the show from Sharktoberfest the first time but then had to abort the whole thing because a show with that same name popped up right before they launched? No? Well, that's basically the gist of it. Anyway, this is the first episode of that cancelled podcast. This is episode #1 of Nielsen & Pixley's Film Pub!
This episode is also a bit of an experiment. Dustin and Logan decided to watch the first theatrically released films of 3 of the most renowned big-budget...2023-08-292h 00

Quality Home EntertainmentThe Thing - CommentaryThe boys are riding out the end of winter by sipping on some scotch and snuggling up with a comfy film about a paranoid group of fellas that discover a flesh absorbing, human mimicking alien that just might end all of humanity. It's John Carpenter's the Thing! A film that underperformed at the box office and was critically panned by critics upon its 1982 release but has since gone on to be considered an American classic and one of Logan and Dustin's favorite films. So watch along and enjoy a cozy, paranoid night in!

Quality Home EntertainmentThe Last of Us - Episode 3The third episode of the Last of Us is getting a lot of talk, both for its story and for being the first major deviation from the video game. Dustin and Logan break down the episode title "Long, Long Time" and talk about how it changed the the story of game character Bill. Also, Logan has a little surprise for Dustin...2023-02-0345 min
Quality Home EntertainmentEverything Everywhere All at OnceAn old friend from the past returns and a new adventure begins... also we talk about a movie. Oh, and we've renamed the show. Sorry. Kinda buried the lede there. Things have been confusing since we got left in this alternate dimension. But the show must go on! On this "inaugural" episode of Quality Home Entertainment with Logan Nielsen and Dustin Pixley, we focus on Everything Everywhere All at Once in all of its glorious, heartwarming bonkers-ness. (Spoilers start around 52:15). We also sample Sierra Nevada's Celebration Fresh Hop IPA and chat about Weird: the Al Yankovic Story, Smile, X...2022-12-141h 43
Quality Home EntertainmentVibrationsEvery now and then, a shark's gotta go ROGUE!!! That's right, it's time for the annual rogue episode where Dustin and Logan skip a shark movie and explore some other waters. Basically, like the episodes from the rest of the year. (Also, Sharktoberfest has been stretched into November. This whole conceit has maybe gotten out of hand.) Anyway, what better way to go rogue than by bringing in podcast bad boy and new nemesis of the show, Caleb Woodley!
Back in March, Caleb was the winner of the Shark Madness bracket competition and his prize was getting...2022-11-102h 00Quality Home EntertainmentShark Side of the MoonShark Side of the Moon is a Tubi original movies about astronauts who discover a city of humanoid shark creatures with Russian accents on the moon...and somehow it is not interesting at all. Dustin and Logan brave the nonsense anyway and they do it accompanied by Victory's Festbier Marzen (and a surprise dessert beer Dustin brought as a surprise). And after dealing with a movie that clearly only had shark pun title and no plan from there (little too close to home), the boys try to tackle the question of why hasn't there been another good shark movie...2022-10-231h 45
Quality Home EntertainmentShark in VeniceSharktoberfest 3 gets off to a rocky start with a shark movie starring Stephen Baldwin and an egregious amount of stock footage. Shark in Venice is an Indiana Jones-like treasure hunting adventure where nothing exciting happens and no part of it was actually shot in Venice. Oh, and there's sharks, too. Luckily, Logan and Dustin have Dimensional Brewing's Gordonfest to keep them company as they attempt to breakdown a movie that seems to be made up of footage from other movies. Dustin also has a #freshfestfact about a strange Oktoberfest game, as well as research about why you can't and...2022-10-111h 25Quality Home EntertainmentThe Last of Us TeaserThe boys are trying something different and talking about the recently dropped teaser for HBO's adaptation of the Last of Us, Dustin and Logan's favorite video game. Does it look any good? Are they excited? Is this anything? Better listen to find out.

They're cheating a little bit by covering the Netflix limited series, Midnight Mass, but they make the rules, so...oh well. They do a deep dive of what they liked about the show and enjoy reliving the story all while sipping on a glass of Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon from Ménage à Trois Winery.2022-09-281h 10Quality Home EntertainmentDr. Stranger Things in the Upside Down of MadnessThe boys are trying something different as they talk about two different franchises with big installments this year: Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Stranger Things season 4. Both are about alternate dimensions, young girls with super powers, and general fan service. Dustin and Logan tackle them in separate sections (time codes below) and sample Goose Island's Neon Beer Hug IPA. Logan is also sampling something else that has him super dialed in! Enjoy the madness!

Dustin and Logan sip on some Arnold Palmer Spiked as they try to figure out how the hell to even talk about this kids' movie where everything might be dream but also maybe nothing is. It's confusing. They also suggest some superhero films that aren't DC or Marvel properties, have a little wrap-up discussion about the big wet summer that was, and tease what's coming next!2022-09-171h 33Quality Home EntertainmentInto the InfernoDustin and Logan have watched some movies that involve volcanoes, but now they're watching a documentary ABOUT volcanoes...kind of. They watch Werner Herzog's Into the Inferno, a film about the role volcanoes play in certain cultures, including being the home of a volcano god that seems to just be some guy. The eccentric writer/director/narrator himself stops by to tell the boys how pointless everything is. Then, Logan talks about Sharcano, a movie that is surprisingly a documentary about the connection between sharks and volcanoes and not an Asylum movie about lava sharks. They also sample some...2022-08-211h 43Quality Home EntertainmentMagic MikeWe warned you that this was gonna be a super hot and wet summer. Logan and Dustin ogle some big sweaty hunks as they discuss the Steven Soderbergh film, Magic Mike; starring Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, and a bunch of other meat boys. They drink some Camp Shandy Shore Lemon from Topling Goliath and chase that with some Mike's Hard Lemonade (do you get it?). And then in the Special Features segment, Logan rants against Fireball and the boys pick out their strip persona and routine.

Logan & Dustin decided to just recommend a few heist movies that had actual heists in them and didn't focus on the main character wanting to date their sister (listen to the full episode for context).2022-08-0525 minQuality Home EntertainmentWhite FireThe steamy summer continues with White Fire, a heist movie that is sort of about a diamond that burns to the touch, but mostly about an incredibly uncomfortable romance plot. And all earthly laws are thrown out the window because Dustin and Logan are drinking White Claws! The boys grapple with their feelings on hard seltzers while grappling with a gross and utterly confusing film. Hang on for dear life!2022-08-031h 23Quality Home EntertainmentSand SharksDustin & Logan are returning to familiar waters with a ridiculous shark movie! Sand Sharks came out in 2012 but all the characters are social-distancing like it was 2020. It also refreshingly rips off a few different movies that have been covered on this very pod. And speaking of water, the boys sample a beer made with cactus water that has a needlessly convoluted name: Shiner's TexHex Bruja's Brew IPA. Ridiculous beer name for a ridiculous movie. Everything's ridiculous over here!2022-07-141h 59

Quality Home EntertainmentReign of FireBig Hot Summer continues with a film that features more fire, but this time it's coming out of a dang lizard's mouth! Dustin & Logan watched the dragon apocalypse movie, Reign of Fire. A film starring a pre-Batman Christian Bale, a crazy and wet-eyed Matthew McConaughey, and not near as many dragons as it should've! Oh, and also Gerard Butler. The Wet Hot Boys of Summer give the film a thorough examination and then try to name the best dragons of cinema. They also drink Psuedo Sue from Toppling Goliath because there's a dinosaur on the can and those kinda...2022-06-291h 43Quality Home EntertainmentVolcanoThe wet, hot summer series continues with the Dante's Peak rival in the lava wars of 1997, Volcano! Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche try to save Los Angeles from an impending volcanic eruption and all while having zero chemistry! Dustin and Logan break down the film while sampling Toppling Goliath's Pompeii Mosaic IPA and then dig into who they believe to be the top magma motion picture of the 90s! They also discuss Stranger Things, Roland Emmerich (again), and what their lava-spewing superhero persona would be.2022-06-211h 38Quality Home EntertainmentDante's PeakThe hot, hot summer is rolling along with a film about a volcano that hurls lava, fire, acid, and bridges at a quiet Washington town called Dante's Peak. Luckily, James Bond and Sarah Conner are there to...witness it, I guess. Logan and Dustin witness this film while sampling two different flavors from Leinenkugel's Summer Variety Pack. Other things discussed are The Kids in the Hall, Minx, movies that scream summer, and some badassery on and around Mount St. Helens.2022-06-151h 39

Quality Home EntertainmentMoonfallThis episode was originally recorded back in February after freshly seeing Moonfall at the theater. (This is the episode that Logan and Dustin have been teasing for a while. Was this a worthwhile reveal? We bet not!). The boys, still giddy from the theatergoing experience, sip on some Zoltan by Exile Brewing while they attempt to explain Roland Emmerich's latest movie in which major cities get leveled by natural or extraterrestrial (this time it's both!) forces of destruction. Also, the moon is empty in this one.

But the beer choice is quite apt because it is from Exile Brewing's One and Done series! The Tres Leches Milk Stout is the companion beer while Logan and Dustin discuss the Hulu series that could've come off like one of those old unauthorized tv movie biographies, but instead, it's quite good...2022-05-2649 minQuality Home EntertainmentThe RequinThe Requin is a new film starring Alicia Silverstone that claims to be a shark movie, but is really just a strange relationship/survival drama that quickly devolves into utter nonsense. It's also the worst thing Logan and Dustin have ever seen. They reluctantly discuss it while sampling three beers from Surly's Unusual Suspects variety pack. Then, to distance themselves from such a harrowing experience, they go rogue with a Star Wars themed shot segment, and wrap up by each recommending 3 random movies they enjoy. Don't watch the Requin, but listen to this!2022-05-191h 59Quality Home EntertainmentAnacondaDustin and Logan are back with a movie that may not have sharks in it, but at least it's still pretty wet. They watched 1997's Anaconda, a film in which Jon Voight inexplicably plays a man from Paraguay that has a Cajun accent. Oh, also, there's a big snake. Our moist movie men discuss this slice of serpentine cinema while sipping on Potosi's Snake Hollow IPA. They also dig into what's fact and fiction about anacondas, chat about the Dropout on Hulu, and do maybe their dumbest "shot" segment yet!2022-04-282h 00Quality Home EntertainmentShark Madness - Bracket Winner!Logan and Dustin are here with the post-competition breakdown of Shark Madness 2. They look back on how it all played out, what they might do differently next year, and they announce the winner of the bracket competition!

And while they're digging into this CGI festival of blood, guts, and uncomfortable nudity, they sample Topling Goliath's Digital Dawn IPA. It's a thought-provoking episode that makes one ponder things like: What would you do with a flying shark? What is a digital beer? Why does that woman sound like Tommy Wisseau?2022-03-031h 41Quality Home EntertainmentSuburban CommandoTag team superstars, Crash and Champy are back to body slam your ears with some cinematic nonsense! For some reason, Dustin & Logan decided to watch Suburban Commando, the film that FINALLY teams up Hulk Hogan and Christopher Lloyd. They dissect lazy attempt at a fish-out-of-water story while sipping on some sours from Schell's Brewing. They also dive into Hulk Hogan's music career, the story of Zubaz, and the history of the traffic light. It'll all make sense when you listen. COME GET SOME, BROTHERRRRR!!!2022-02-191h 43

It basically means nothing but they are going to watch more shark movies throughout the year and they're kicking things off with a movie featuring a hand-puppet-ghost-shark, Ouija Shark! They sample Left Hand Brewing's Peanut Butter Milk Stout Nitro while dissecting a Canadian movie that cost $300. Logan also walks you through the surprisingly fascinating history of the Ouija Board and how it went from wholesome family game to terrifying party trick. The boys also start off...2022-01-051h 48

Quality Home EntertainmentSawThis was supposed to be the kickoff episode of the new show but those plans have to be scrapped (listen to the Check-in Minisode for the full scoop). Still, this is a fun episode and is a taste of the blueprint of the show to come, so the boys still wanted to release it. Dustin and Logan watched the first movie they ever watched together when they became friends in high school: Saw! While they revisit this seminal torture porn film, they sip on hot toddies to help to help them recover from their separate illnesses. Oh, also they...2021-12-141h 15
Quality Home EntertainmentCheck-in MinisodeSo...Dustin and Logan had made this whole thing at the end of the most recent Sharktoberfest about the show changing names and stuff but it turns out, those plans have to be aborted. In this minisode, the boys talk about why the show can't follow through with that reboot and the future of the show as a whole.

Quality Home EntertainmentThe Suicide SquadIn this penultimate episode of Sharktoberfest, Dustin and Logan have decided to take a break from low-budget trash and discuss a massive, studio movie that just so happens to feature a shark/human hybrid. They watched 2021's The Suicide Squad, a brash, R-rated superhero movie that dares to ask the question, "What if Guardians of the Galaxy was violent?" Our heroes sample Empirical Brewery's Marzen Attacks as they talk about this latest attempt to make the DC film universe as popular as Marvel's. They also bring up Movie 43. Remember that? Anyway...one more to go!2021-10-271h 15
Quality Home EntertainmentShark LakeIt's the final week of Sharktoberfest! Dustin and Logan start the week by proving you can record a podcast about a movie you do not remember at all. Luckily, returning guest Caleb Woodley is there to help them sort out the nonsense that is Shark Lake, a movie where Dolph Lundgren punches a shark!

Quality Home EntertainmentToxic SharkWrapping up week 3, the fellas watch a dreaded Syfy original movie called Toxic Shark! It's a shark movie that has zombies but doesn't really want to use either antagonist. It was suggested by podcast host Steve Wunderlich (Mind Your Quizness, Advanced B.S.), so Logan and Dustin forced him to join them for the episode. The three try to sort out this genre mashup whilst sampling Lager Town by Half Acre Beer Company. So put on a super tight shirt to cover your weird nipples and dive on in!2021-10-231h 30

This is the point when Dustin and Logan get so sick of shark movies they decide to break all the rules and branch out! Last year, they watched Tremors (since it was originally pitched as "Land Sharks") so they are sticking with that franchise and dissecting Tremors 2: Aftershocks. And joining them is the designer of the Sharktoberfest logo, Logan's girlfriend, and, most notably, the person that made Dustin and Logan eat peaches and beans, Jessica Mulkey! The three sample some Oktoberfest Wine from Galena Cellars and discuss a movie where the monster...2021-10-211h 18
Quality Home EntertainmentFrom the DepthsThis show has covered sharks in many locations (the ocean, lakes, theme parks, grocery stores!), but this film has a shark that exists only in you head. That's right...Mind Shark! Logan and Dustin watched the shark psychological thriller, From the Depths!

The Sharktoberfest boys dive DEEP into this one and luckily have a 12-pack of Surly's Oktoberfest to act as their anchor. (That last sentence didn't really make sense but you see what we were...2021-10-151h 34
Quality Home EntertainmentShark TaleIn this edition of Sharktoberfest, Logan and Dustin are perplexed by the Dreamworks animated film, Shark Tale. It's a children's film, but also a mafia movie. It stars beloved superstar Will Smith, but also acclaimed director Martin Scorsese, starring as fish that kind of look like them. These details prompt the Sharktoberfest boys to ask, "who is this for?" They wade through the confusion while drinking the Oktoberfest from Galena Brewing Company. They also share some research about symbiotic relationships amongst fish and sharks, and detail the creation of one of humanity's worst crimes, the Chicken Dance.2021-10-141h 19
Quality Home EntertainmentSharkansas Women's Prison MassacreIt's week two of Sharktoberfest and it is starting off strange.

There's gold in them hills! Luckily, Logan and Dustin have Munsterfest by 3 Floyds to keep them company during this "film" and during the mid-episode food tasting forced upon them by Logan's girlfriend. There's a lot going on in this one. Come join!2021-10-111h 24
Quality Home Entertainment47 Meters DownLogan and Dustin are wrapping up the first week of Sharktoberfest! To conclude the first week of the festivities, they watch the surprise hit Mandy Moore vehicle, 47 Meters Down. It's a movie all about shark diving, breakups and SEA MADNESS!!! The fellas also sip on the Oktoberfest from Pulpit Rock Brewing out of Decorah, IA as they rip apart the movie and learn about pressure sicknesses such as the bends. You should also listen to this episode if you want to know what "Oktoberfest cocaine" is. One week down, three to go!2021-10-081h 19
Quality Home EntertainmentBaitIt's day two of the fishy festivities and the boys have already fell face first into a finned fiasco! (That was fun to write). Dustin and Logan watched the Australian/Singaporean production, Bait! Believe it or not, it's about a group of people trying to outlive a great white shark that is hunting them in...a grocery store. It's silly premise is just the tip of this movie's problems and the boys are more than happy to point out the rest. While they do so, they sample the Oktoberfest from Left Hand Brewing Co. So put on your 3D...2021-10-061h 26

Continuing in their mini "Back to School" theme, the boys are discussing Freaks and Geeks, the beloved, cult series about high school outcasts in 1980 that ran for a single season starting in the fall of 1999.

They talk about Chris Hemsworth tagging great white sharks, the Jackass guys delivering a disappointing special, and William Shatner's 90-year-old ass swimming with sharks.
