MPM: S04/E08 - The Conan O'Barbarian Show

Conan The Barbarian | Conan The Destroyer - Welcome everyone, to another great episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! This week, Mark, Philip, Travis, and myself once again take to the 80's (aren't we always in the 80's?) and take a look at two early Arnold Schwarzenegger movies in Conan: The Barbarian and Conan: The Destroyer. Although there are tons of cartoons, toys, comics, and novels made...these two movies go back to the very cinematic roots of Conan. In this week's podcast, we talk about the sheer poorness of making a giant muppet snake, the fact that yes, the audience can tell when a monster is wearing a Halloween mask, and the amount of minutes that should take place between punching animals in the face. Enjoy!

MPM: S04/E07 - I Want Candy!

Cool Runnings | Uncle Buck - Hello everyone! Welcome once again to another great episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We know we're slightly behind, but promise we're working hard to catch up and bring you more great, hilarious episodes to come! In this episode, Mark, Philip, and myself podcast a couple movies starring one of the greatest comedian actor of all-time, John Candy! We go through the 1989 favorite Uncle Buck, as well as the 1993 Disney film, Cool Runnings. In this podcast, we discuss the lack of fat, funny comedians in this day and age, we go over the basics of getting out of going to school, and also come to the agreement that Jamaicans and Brazilians are pretty much the same thing. Enjoy!
