Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre are continuing their quest to watch maligned movies in hopes of finding a silver lining.

For the month of June, they are watching blockbuster films that were meant to be the start of franchises … but weren’t.

This week, they watch the 1998 Godzilla film directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Matthew Broderick. (It also features a supporting cast of not one, not two, but three Simpsons actors.) With a soundtrack that slaps and a proven monster flick formula, it should have been a big hit … but wasn’t. However, together Joel and Andy will find its silver lining.

Theme Song: “Bankin’” by Bronson Scott

Godzilla!

The Simpsons‘ annual “Treehouse of Horror” specials have become a celebrated tradition. For 29 years, the show has served up three Halloween-themed, non-canonical stories every October. However, in recent years, they haven’t been very good.

Still, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle continue to watch these specials. This week, they try to figure out why. They share their thoughts on this year’s special and the later years of the show in general.

They also discuss the new Star Wars trailer (which Lars refuses to watch).

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Halloween (Remix)” by The Coffinshakers

Dave Matthews Band, Featured, Halloween, Hannibal Lecter, Hobo Radio, Star Wars, The Simpsons

Joel Murphy and Lars “Scary”-winkle discuss The Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors specials, what it’s like living in Los Angeles during the World Series and why it would have been more satisfying to make a Lando Calrissian prequel film instead of one focused on Han Solo.

They also bring back one of their classic segments – The Netflix Game. Joel gives Lars three Halloween-themed rounds of real and imaginary films available on Netflix.

How many times has Lars seen Dave Matthews live? Where did making vaguely-scary Halloween puns out of regular names come from? Why did Hannibal Lecter start eating people? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Royalty Free Style 80’s Synth Music” by RickLan
  • Interstitial – “Glass Android” by Lee Rosevere
  • End – “Halloween (Remix)” by The Coffinshakers
