While the two films reviewed on the show this week don’t have a ton in common, what they do have is pretty outstanding…. giant mustaches and ponytails on our lead actors!

The first film reviewed is John Boorman’s infamous(?) 1974 film ZARDOZ

The second is a little John Cassavetes joint from 1971 called MINNIE AND MOSKOWITZ. Wait til you see the mane on Cassell!

A thanks this week to Bad James from Australia for a song used on the first break. I fail to mention it because I was lazy and didn’t prepare the breaks ahead of time and we weren’t listening to them live. Next time, buddy, I promise

It’s that time of the year agaaaaain… the hooolidaaaays!

Since we kind of shoehorned in a Christmas show last year, this year we decided to do it up right and actually cover a couple xmas flicks… and we chose some classic 80s comedies!

The first film we review is 1988’s SCROOGED starring Bill Murray and some other people. This is one that somehow eluded Zom and Loaf until just now!

The second film reviewed is 1984’s TRADING PLACES starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd. What holiday film is complete now without racist jokes and Jamie Lee Curtis’ perfect tits??

Happy Holidays, miners. We love you all like a wart you just get used to having there. KISSES!

Friends of the show Gronke asked us this week to review a certain film which lead to the double feature idea of martial arts mashed up with a more western sport.

He wanted a review of 2009’s FIREBALL… a muay thai meets basketball tournament. Think Bloodsport and Rollerball kinda somewhat maybe.

We paired that up with the 2001 Stephen Chow comedy hit SHAOLIN SOCCER to get a little kung fu sprinkled on a silly soccer film.

Hijinks ensue
