It’s Halloween, so it’s time to get spooky! And what’s spookier than wasting six hours of our lives? Time is fleeting and death comes for us all! OOOOOoooooOOo! We tag in OG Bargain Fella Dylan (no, not that Dylan) to tackle four microbudget werewolf features courtesy of Wild Eye Entertainment. From the found footage thrills of Wolf House and Cold Ground, to the horror-comedy chills of The Snarling, to the spills of Werewolf Island, Bargain Binge covers it all.

Trick or treat? Smell my feet? Give me something good to eat?

Mister Audience, you could have listened. We gave you all the files.

On this episode, join The Fellas as they celebrate the fourth anniversary of the American theatrical release of the Scandinavian crime thriller The Snowman! You may remember the infamous poster but The Fellas remember every single moment of this two-hour cavalcade of nonsense.

Join belligerent alcoholic Harry Hole, on his quest to put together the pieces, as well as the filmmakers, on their quest to put together the pieces. Sedated performances, sadistic photography, manic editing, and more! You can’t force the pieces to fit... but we do our best for you, the beloved fans.

Who is the mysterious Snowman Killer? Will Inspector Harry Hole be able to bring an end to his savagery? Wait… Inspector what? His name is what?????

Do you know what time it is? That’s right, it’s the spooky month! The Fellas are getting in the mood this season by looking back at the Halloween Franchise and its many iterations. Since 1978 it’s been a staple of the slasher genre but sometimes it’s also been a staple in our ass! We go through the highs, the lows (hint: Rob Zombie made them), and everything in between. We also revamp the Brief Reviews format for all of you kind, warmhearted souls out there (so you better fucking like it).

Michael Myers: unrelenting evil, victim of a Celtic curse, or just a misunderstood little guy? Does a Halloween film even need Mikey M at all? Are you people satisfied?

We wrap up spotlight September a bit late with one of our favorite movies of all time: Kangaroo Jack. This movie played constant times in our dorm and now, hopefully, it can bring you the joy it has brought us. Kangaroo Jack is one of the most puzzling pieces of cinema ever and you’ll find there’s just as much good to it as there is bad. We talk our favorite line deliveries, jokes, and some behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

How did this rated R movie become a PG family film? What happened to Adam McNally? And where is Louis’ lucky jacket?

It’s time for a new gimmick here at Bargain Binge, as if there weren’t enough already! This Spotlight September, the fellas take some time to acknowledge some of the most infamous bad movies of all time. This week,  Bargain Binge pays homage to one of the most squirmy, hateful movies to ever grace the silver screen: Gigli! Bennifer Aflopez star as two guns for hire who are tasked with kidnapping and babysitting a man with some mystery intellectual disability. Antics ensue as the three traverse the wacky world of Los Angeles crime and meet a few familiar faces. And by antics, we mean “are miserable assholes.”

What made Gigli one of the biggest bombs of all time? Which is better: penis or vagina?  And WHEN ARE WE GOING TO THE BAYWATCH?

Bargain Binge is back and ready to raise some shell! The fellas make a triumphant return to the big screen with backup from Daniel Gallegos of Three Act Thirsty as they take on their new foe Krang from Dimension X. With support from Shredder, mad scientist Baxter Stockman, and lovable goofballs Beebop and Rocksteady, Krang sets out to bring the hellscape of Dimension X to our world. Can Dylan, Evan, Aaron, and Daniel bring down the forces of evil or will they let their petty differences tear them apart from the inside? All bets are off, baby!

Oh yeah, and we watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

How deep will Daniel bring us all into the lore of the Ninja Turtles? Will Dylan ever stop confusing Splinter and Shredder’s names? And can one Irishman’s sex appeal bring these angsty turtle boys together to deliver the truth about Paramount Pictures?

A long time ago on a forest moon far far away… The Bargain Fellas are joined by Ruthie and Dodge of The Ladylorians Show! The Gang discusses the mostly forgotten 1980s Ewok Adventures television specials: Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor. Look who’s talking now! Wickett is back (sort of) and he’s here to help some kids go on some adventures to save various people, or something. But first, The Fellas put The Ladies in the hottest seat of them all with a game of Hot or Not: Star Wars Edition. And Ruthie and Dodge lend Dylan, Evan, and Aaron a hand in further developing the lore of The Screenpeeker. This is a crossover you don’t want to miss, folks!

Will The Ewok Adventures live up to the legacy of The Star Wars Holiday Special How will The Screenpeeker exact his revenge on the town that scorned him? And, most importantly: is Sebulba hot… or not?

On this gluttonous episode of Bargain Binge, The Fellas take a 6+ hour dive into their first DVD multipack and examine the career of Adam Sandler with “The Laugh Out Loud 4-Movie Collection!” That’s right, there’s all your favorites (or not): 50 First Dates, Click, Big Daddy, and Mr. Deeds! Take an achronological look at the king of comedy himself and listen to The Fellas sus out what makes an Adam Sandler movie an Adam Sandler movie.

What is the best movie in the pack? Why is Adam Sandler so maligned as an actor? What if you had a remote?

In an embarrassingly misguided effort to get internet clicks, the fellas put their lives on the line and discover the end of cinema itself: Space Jam: A New Legacy! Do you love brands? Death, disease, famine? If so, this is the movie for you! Dylan, Evan, and Aaron get digitized into The Serververse and have a really fucking bad time! But The Fellas saw this together in person, the first time in well over a year. But that is not much cause for celebration because, well, it all happened in Pittsburgh! Yucky!

Can Lebron cement his GOAT status over Michael Jordan… as an actor? What are your favorite  Warner Bros. IPs up to? Are movies dead?

The fellas take a deep dive into the world of extreme travel vlogging this week with the SyFy original film Frenzy. Two sisters try to overcome their personal issues as they become stranded on a raft in illegal waters filled with freaking great white sharks! The Fellas struggle to cope with the awful effects and screenwriting and along the way learn a thing or two about the archetype of an Evan. Echo Bridge Home Entertainment is here and it’s ready to piss us off with this mockbuster of The Shallows!

How will these insufferable jerks survive the choppy waters of Thailand? Will Javier The Pilot see justice in this nightmare? Is that plane a jpeg?

On our longest (but still incredibly worthwhile!) episode yet, we take a dive into the world of internet critics. The Fellas, look through a historical lens, at the origins of film criticism and how it lead us to the wild west of video critics (i.e. The Nostalgia Critic) and blog critics (i.e. Letterboxd, Rotten Tomatoes). The internet has changed the way we look at movies and The Fellas are here to whine about it! But also, it’s a scary and dangerous time in Hollywood. Acquisitions, mergers? Won’t somebody explain all of this nonsense? Of course, The Bargain Fellas are here to just that, taking a look at the Warner-Discovery merger and the Amazon acquisition of MGM.

Why are all these critics so angry? Will Amazon’s purchase of MGM affect me as a movie fan? And is self-inflicted genital mutilation a viable form of criticism?

Join us as we enter a world of pure imagination with our special guest, Wyatt Duncan! On this episode, Barney the Purple Dinosaur makes his 1998 feature film debut in box-office bomb/alleged embezzlement scheme Barney’s Great Adventure. Barney sings and dances his way into the life of Cody, whose imagination and sense of childhood wonder needs a swift kick in the ass. Between musical numbers, Barney and the gang go on the titular “adventure” to figure out something about an egg. Isn’t that exciting? We also take a trip into the everlasting world of Anti-Barney Humor; Wyatt shares his reaction to “Barney’s On Fire,” a song widely misattributed to Weird Al Yankovic, who happens to be the subject of Wyatt’s limited series podcast Straight Outta Albuquerque!

Is Anti-Barney humor a valid form of entertainment? What lies inside the mysterious rainbow egg? And who the hell let Barney change the baby’s diaper??????????

You’ve heard of smoke bombs, pipe bombs, nuclear bombs… but box-office bombs? The only thing that these kinds of bombs are blowing up is producer money. And we’re to explain the how and why! We break down the anatomy of a flop through the lens of 2000 sci-fi epic from Scientology’s greatest minds and some scam artists (allegedly!) Battlefield Earth. Along the way, we construct our own bomb and create a pitch for ViacomCBS’s cash grab nightmare The Paramount+ Movie.

Which properties can we mash together to destroy Paramount financially? What does it take to make a bomb? What the hell are thetans?

You’ve been deputized, audience! By the R.I.P.D. (Rest in Peace Department). Join Dylan, Evan, and Aaron as they dive into the muddy waters of the afterlife, caught between Deado and Avatar in Universal Studios’ 2013 special effects fever dream R.I.P.D. starring Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges. The gates of hell have opened and the Deados are running free… But not if Boston’s finest has anything to say about it!

What really is the worst thing a crooked Boston cop could do? What Indian food is most effective at warding off the undead? Is it time that we stopped Ryan Reynolds doing his whole schtick?

Recorded April 7, 2021

Once again we break from our format and discuss a new movie months after its release. We talk Godzilla vs Kong, the newest edition of the (hopefully) expanding Warner Bros Monsterverse. Along the way, we discuss all the movies leading up to this clash of Titans, including Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Being the big fans of the G-Man that we are, there is much to discuss.

Have we been topped as the preeminent pod of big monsters? Has Marvelfication gone too far? Will the Monsterverse continue?

Recorded April 6, 2021

On this very special edition of Bargain Binge, we go off the deep end. Evan reached so far into the bin that we entered a different dimension of depravity. On this episode we review 1/4 of the "Los Dos Reyes 4 Super Películas" DVD pack: La Fuga del Chapo, an obscure 2001 film from Mexico detailing the escape of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán from a maximum security prison. The movie has no information online and no subtitles on the disc, so it is up to Dylan, Evan, and Aaron to suss out the details for the adoring fans.

How did El Chapo Escape? What the hell is going on with this DVD 4-pack? Will Mexican Burt Reynolds be the one to save us all?

Recorded March 31, 2021

On this reimagined Brief edition of Bargain Binge, The Fellas take a dive into the ever-expanding world of reboots, remakes, seboots, soft reboots, sequels, prequels… whatever! They get to the bottom of what makes most reboots so awful and where the concept even came from to begin with. The Fellas also dissect some recent rebominations including Fantasy Island (2020) and Pan (2015). Along the way, they talk about their recent watches, and (this is very exciting) Dylan introduces an exciting new slasher villain into the Bingeverse.

What exactly makes a good reboot? What is the origin of the movie reboot as we know it today? And who the hell is this mysterious Screenpeeker taking the world by storm?

On this demonic episode of Bargain Binge, Dylan picks a DVD copy of Hellboy (no not the good one) on DVD for the Fellas to review. But the madman doesn’t stop there and buys the 4K UHD to report on its quality to loyal Binge fanatics. Isn’t that nice?

This ain’t your daddy’s Hellboy! This is much grittier and angrier and edgier and cooler and awesomer and bester. Well, at least according to the “feature-length documentary" included on the Blu-ray and 4K discs, it is. And there’s no way anyone would lie in a bonus feature. Dylan breaks down all the details both on and off the screen, as the Fellas discuss the messy production of the film.

Do Evan and Dylan like it more on the second watch? How does 2019 compare to the Del Toro films? What exactly made this production such a shit show?

Recorded March 23, 2021

On our first episode officially titled a "Brief," The Fellas dive into the diverse and magical world of animation. We discuss Disney's stubborn adherence to their ludicrous pricing scheme, as well as how they destroyed 2D animation on a large scale forever! Isn't that nice? We also talk about our favorite pieces of animation and recommend some modern animated media.

Why is Disney the worst corporation? Has Evan ever even seen an animated film? How did HHH and Stephanie McMahon tie the knot (yes, really)?
