Of course you'll have to refrain from having sex with your classmates because there has to be some sort of thin plot line to string the semesters together. Oh, and you'll also want to avoid the pickle shaped iron maidens, being turned into a human chicken, angry biker gangs, and Dick Butkus....2020-08-101h 46

This week we bring you one of Dane Train's favorite movies (spoiler: not one of KevBot's favorite movies) The Misery Brothers Y2K! What the heck is this movie?

However, it does have a star-studded cast including Lou Ferrigno, Abe Vigoda, Roddy Piper, Erik Estrada as an Elvis impersonator, and a bunch of other actors who presumably owed someone a favor. This movie has it all, musical numbers, mafiosos in drag, flying plastic babies, go...2020-07-271h 31

VHS BanditsEp. 99 "Ed"It's officially Monkey Month and we're opening the season with the Matt LeBlanc vehicle "Ed". A monkey joining a minor league baseball team was the perfect pitch for the studios to greenlight funding. That pitch being a bunch of 90s jumbled together ideas for a cash grab kids movie. Sitcom star to pull in the parents: check. Guy in a monkey suit: check. Fart jokes: check. America's favorite pastime: check. A plot replaced by a series of random events: check.
