“These Country Bears… they busted through that ceiling!” - Chris
On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off Listener Request Month 2026 with a banger convo about the totally insane Disney animatronic nightmare film, The Country Bears! Why couldn’t these bears have some different personalities from one another? Did Beary’s parents just steal a bear cub from the woods? Was Willie Nelson paid in weed? Why couldn’t we get more Stephen Tobolowsky in this movie? And how many of these bears are hooked on honey? PLUS: Rest in Peace, Country Bears’ original drummer, Toots! 
The Country Bears stars Christopher Walken, Stephen Tobolowsky, Daryl Mitchell, Diedrich Bader, M.C. Gainey, Alex Rocco, Queen Latifah, and the voices of Diedrich Bader, Haley Joel Osment, Candy Ford, James Gannon, Toby Huss, Kevin Michael Richardson, Stephen Root and Brad Garrett as Fred Bedderhead; directed by Peter Hastings.

“This is such a choppy edit, thanks for nothing, Steven Seagal!” - Andrew

On this week’s show, we’re bringing “White Guy Karate” Month to a close with a banger conversation on the outrageous Steven Seagal film, Out for Justice!

How hilarious is Seagal’s Brooklyn accent? What is this outfit he’s wearing at the start of the picture? Was Seagal dubbed for the Italian dialogue? Were John Leguizamo’s scenes deleted? And should Gino have left that dog in the car the whole film? PLUS: Visit the all-new fast food sensation, Fuck Burger!
Out for Justice stars Steven Seagal, William Forsyth, Jerry Orbach, Jo Champa, Shareen Mitchell, Gina Gershon, Julianna Margulies, John Leguizamo, Raymond Cruz, and Dominic Chianese as Mr. Madano; directed by John Flynn.

“You can’t feed a replicant chocolate, dude, right to the hospital!” - Steve
On this week’s episode, “White Guy Karate” Month goes sci-fi as we talk about the totally insane JCVD/Michael Rooker action joint, Replicant! 
How unsettling is JCVD with non-mullet long hair? How does this psychic link work with these fellas? How much of this movie takes place in that one hospital? Is Michael Rooker’s character helping raise his partner’s child? Is it his kid? Why does that lady have a pool table in her baby’s bedroom? And is there anything more terrifying than JCVD singing “Rock-a-Bye Baby”? PLUS: Coming to Broadway next season: Replicant The Musical!
Replicant stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Catherine Dent, Brandon James Olson, Pam Hyatt, Ian Robison, Allan Gray, and James Hutson as Snotty Concierge; directed by Ringo Lam.
