MPM: Ep. 205 - Shoot Em With Your Strong Hand

Robocop (2014) | Elves - Hello everyone! We hope you're having a great holiday season, and we welcome you back to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We have finally come to the end of our request month of December, and as we thought with last week's podcast we might get some more gifts for Christmas, once again we were wrong. After hearing us want to kill ourselves after podcasting the TMNT reboot, or friend Morgan decided he would torture our childhoods a little more by requesting us to roast through the 2014 remake of Robocop. The season wouldn't be complete if the former MPM co-host and resident asshole Mark Hinton didn't request a terrible movie for us to watch, and so indeed he has. Mark request us to bring a little Christmas hatred into our lives as we go through his movie request, Elves. In this episode, you'll hear us question why Robocop's hand was kept alive, you'll hear us discuss that Elves may be suffering from a Troll 2-like conundrum, and we all wonder why Sam Jackson has George Bush hair. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 204 - Knee Mustaches

Tombstone | The Burbs - Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We are continuing our gift giving this holiday season by roasting requests from faithful listeners Travis and Jon! After doing so many bad movies, we actually got some gifts in return as Travis has asked us to go through the 1980's Joe Dante directed movie, The Burbs, and Jon has given us the gift of all feeling more manly as we watched Tombstone. In this episode, we all pick two movie props we'd like for Christmas, Phil and Cheats argue over who can't grow facial hair more, and decide that Bruce Dern from The Burbs is just Walter from The Big Lebowski. Happy Holidays and enjoy!

MPM: Ep 203 - Tornado 3:16

Twister | Gymkata - Hello everyone! Welcome again to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We continue this great holiday season by giving our listeners the gifts of roasting through movies of their choice. This week we go through a couple of pretty terrible requests, one being from my wife Brandi. She requested that we roast through the 1996 blockbuster hit Twister. Our second request is from our listener and a guest host on Naked in a Pit Jordan! He requested Gymkata. In this episode, you will hear us discuss the ultimate holiday death game, the fact that Twister is just Jaws with tornadoes, and my constant dislike for Bill Paxton. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 202 - Classic Bikey

The Dirt Bike Kid | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) - Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! This week we continue our Holiday month of gift episodes by roasting through some requests by our faithful listener Clay Nevels, as well as Nerds on Film co-host and multiple MPM guest-host, Sean Moriarty! Clay asked us to go back into the 80's and roast through another movie where Peter Billingsly was the lead (who knew?) called The Dirt Bike Kid. Sean decided to crush all of our dreams and childhoods as he requested that we promptly fist ourselves by watching the 2014 reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In this episode, we decide which Christmas presents we wish would become sentient, all four of us rage about the new turtles movie (as well as curse Sean's name), and try to think of what exactly Michael Bay has on Megan Fox. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 201 - God's Garbage Men

The Lady in White | City of Angels - Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We have reached December again, and what does that mean? It means an entire month of giving Christmas gifts by roasting through movies that our listeners choose for us! This week we start out with a two-fer from one of our most loyal listeners, Wayne! He suggested that we review The Lady in White as well as the Nic Cage "feel-good" movie from the 90's, City of Angels. In this episode, we give Santa's Reindeer super powers and pit them against one another, we provide a much better and detailed ending of City of Angels, and argue about whether Lady in White can be considered a kid's movie. Enjoy!
