Reviewing newly released movies from the perspective of seeing it for only 5 dollars! They're still bad, but not as bad as 16 dollar movies. We also occasionally watch a movie we actually like so we don't get burned out on this endeavor.

TMNT (1990 and 2014): There's No Secret in This Ooze
Drowning their motion-sickness in Twisted Tea, Lee, Wilson and Shawn tear into the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a nauseating, piss-green, ad-riddled cash grab featuring terrifying CGI monsters, a completely unbothered Megan Fox, and a general contempt for children's intelligence- all while longing for the charm, patience, and actual heart of the 1990 original.

LITERALLY DESTROYED: An Under Siege Review
In this episode, the boys take a deep dive into 'Under Siege'—allegedly Steven Seagal's finest work. You'll learn about Seagal's questionable acting chops, Tommy Lee Jones' over-the-top villain role, and of course, Gary Busey in drag. In the end, the boys grapple with why producers thought Seagal could ever be a leading action star, and come to the surprising conclusion that this 'Die-Hard-on-a-boat' spectacle is a decent movie in spite of him. So grab a beer and join the boys in the garage—it's an adventure, man!
