Movie Chumps

  • Episode 195: RoboCop

    21 ABR. 2024 · The biting satire still holds up! Luke & Corrye pick through Paul Verhoeven's message-laden dystopian action flim from 1987 - a film that comes up smelling like roses in terms of the casting, and its rogue's gallery of villains. The Chumps marvel at the special effects as well as the core memory scenes that are as devastating today as they were when the fellas first say this in the late 80s (that acid scene!). PLUS: Luke tickles Corrye with an OJ Simpson-inspired 5 Questions in light of the notorious Buffalo Bills legend's death. AND: major developments regarding upcoming films from Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorcese.

  • Episode 194: Big Trouble in Little China

    17 MAR. 2024 · A rollicking good time! John Carpenter delivers an absurd cult classic, with help from super trucker Jack Burton!

Among the other hot topics: the three Rayden villains and their comically-huge hats; the imitation Kurt Russell is doing throughout the entire film; the warm blanket that is Egg Shen (Victor Wong); and the consistenly punchable Lo Pan.

  • Episode 193: The Iron Claw

  • Episode 191: The Holdovers

    30 DIC. 2023 · "A thoroughly refreshing glass of water." Those words from esteemed co-host Corrye, as the Chumps visit Barton Academy - an island of grief for three of our favorite characters of the movie year. A crowd-pleaser with heart, Paul Giamatti, newcomer Dominic Sessa, and rising star Da'Vine Joy Randolph are the best 1-2-3 punch since Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. Sticking with this Celtics analogy, director Alexander Payne gets to be Rajon Rando - stringing together an ambience that's surely destined to be a powerhouse come Oscar night.

  • Episode 189 Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

    17 DIC. 2023 · Zany. If you can define this film in one word, it's zany. Luke & Corrye take a trip down memory lane exploring a film that was a sensation then and a cult classic now. Who can forget Large Marge? The dancing sequence to "Tequila" in the biker bar? Pee-Wee calling out Amazing Larry in the basement presentation scene? So much to adore. And a large chunk is due to Tim Burton - and his rollicking creativity in his big-picture debut.

  • Episode 188: Batman Returns

    10 DIC. 2023 · Prime Michelle Pfeiffer. Prime Danny DeVito. And some Grade-A Michael Keaton as well. Tim Burton was in his bag, as the kids say, with the follow-up to his Jack Nicholson-infested megahit Batman. This time, Bruce Wayne deals with MULTIPLE headcases. The Chumps have a ball holding a magnifying glass to Burton’s tricks, themes, lighting, and gadgets. And Christopher Walken’s in this, so expect an impression or four.

    3 DIC. 2023 · Many consider it the greatest Western of all time. Clint Eastwood's comeback to the genre in 1992 proved to be a beast at the Oscar's the following year.
