Lethal Weapon 4 (w/ Tim Kozlenko)
Monday Feb 15, 2021
Monday Feb 15, 2021
This is it, the last Lethal Weapon movie. Do Riggs and Murtaugh ride off gracefully into the sunset or do they go out in an epic blaze of glory? Maybe they go out like an Olive Garden commercial..I dunno..
Joining us for this one is friend of the pod and creator of the License to Watch theme song, Tim Kozlenko!
Here is the official synopsis for this film:
"Riggs and Murtaugh are back and looking younger than ever somehow! Watch as they dispatch nameless bad guys with ease. Watch out because Jet Li is the villain this time and he knows martial arts, something that Riggs used to know in the first movie but not anymore for some reason. You might say that Li is a 'Lethal Weapon?' Get ready to cringe and half-heartedly laugh through one more ridiculous adventure as Riggs's asinine comments and casual racism are tolerated for one final go at it."
Tune in to the end to hear what our next franchise will be!

The magic is back...again!
This time we are joined by the music-maker himself, C.ROCC! aka our former engineer/producer, Chris Morocco!
Here is the official synopsis of this film:
"Riggs and Murtaugh are BACK AGAIN! But this time, it's the 90's! That means Leo's got bleached blonde hair, everyone's in a SoCal street gang, and Murtaugh's still getting ready to retire. Riggs dials up his attitude to 11 in this one for some reason."

Lethal Weapon 2 (w/ Kristian Odland)

Monday Jan 18, 2021
The magic is BACK!! And that can mean only one thing: We're talkin' Lethal Weapon 2, possibly the greatest sequel ever made!
Here's the official synopsis of the film:
"Riggs and Murtaugh are up to their old shenanigans once again, only this time they are up against RACIST SOUTH AFRICANS. Comedic action antics ensue. The best scene is the one with the toilet."

Happy New Year! We're back in 2021 babyyyyy!!
New year. New FRANCHISE!
We're doin' LETHAL WEAPON y'all!! Riggs, Murtaugh, Mr. Joshua, the 80's, feathered hair, RV beach livin', THIS. MOVIE. HAS. IT. AWL!!
We'll be talking OF COURSE about Mel Gibson's crazy life, Danny Glover's relentless professionalism, and Shane Black's coked-out masterpiece of a script.
Joining us for this episode is very special guest, comedian and writer, Carl Tart (Comedy Bang Bang, Brooklyn 99, The Flagrant Ones)
Here's the official description of this American classic feature film:
"Martin Riggs (Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Glover) are two totally mismatched LA cops. Now they're partners and they have to work together to stop an evil gang of non-threatening-looking white guys, who are also drug dealers or something. Will Riggs end up with Murtaugh's daughter? The sexual tension is palpable!"

Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (w/ Jeanne Jo)
Monday Dec 07, 2020
Monday Dec 07, 2020
Here we are. Back again. With ANOTHER EXORCIST PREQUEL!
This is it, the final Exorcist movie. Our little Halloween romp overstayed its welcome by about two months since it is almost Christmas at this point...
Anyway, here's the official synopsis of this classic film:
"Look, it's the exact same movie as the last one with a few minor differences. The hyena's look worse, if you can believe it!"
Joining us this time is friend of the pod, writer and director, Jeanne Jo!

Exorcist: The Beginning (w/ Julio Vincent Gambuto)
Sunday Nov 22, 2020
Sunday Nov 22, 2020
It's Exorcist: The Beginning, y'all! The first of two prequels about Father Merrin! EXCITED YET?? We had some technical microphone difficulties on this one...perhaps the mic was...POSSESSED?!?!
Joining us to discuss this instant classic is none other than writer/director and friend of the pod, Julio Vincent Gambuto!
Here's the actual synopsis of this film:
"Father Merrin is old, but now he's younger. He is also in Africa checking out a dig site. But it's not dinosaur bones he'll be discovering, it's DEMON STUFF! Merrin finds an old pristine church and starts noticing crappy-looking CGI hyena's everywhere. Natalya from Goldeneye is also there and she is HOT, also possibly a demon....ok, she is definitely a demon in this.."

William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist III (w/ Jacob Strick)
Monday Nov 09, 2020
Monday Nov 09, 2020
This movie is insane! It also has little to nothing to do with the original film! Is that good? Listen to find out!
Here's the official synopsis for William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist III:
"Blatty is BACK, BABY! This time with a movie based off his own book, AGAIN! The book is called LEGION but the movie is called EXORCIST 3! MAKES SENSE! Lt. Kinderman, the comic sidekick from part 1 is the main dude in this one and he's played by General Patton himself this time! Kinderman investigates some gruesome and religious murders leading him to an insane asylum, where the dead priest from part 1 is hangin' out, oh, and he's now possessed by a serial killer who LOVES to monologue! HOPE YOU LIKE HEAD CHOPPIN'!"
