EP.39 Thrash, Primate and Send Help: Defending Movies that Critics Dismiss but We Love

This new episode of Terrortinos, hosts Mike and Angel make the case for movies that critics love to trash but audiences can’t help enjoying. From Thrash, Netflix’s shark-fueled disaster flick, to Primate, a ridiculously silly killer-chimp horror thriller, and Send Help, a twisted Sam Raimi survival story starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, the guys break down why some films work, not because they’re perfect, but because they know exactly what they are. It’s a conversation about self-aware filmmaking, guilty pleasures, and the simple joy of being entertained without overthinking it. Along the way, they swap stories, call out ridiculous tropes, and dig into what makes these kinds of movies stick... even when they probably shouldn’t.

The episode closes with a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Catherine O’Hara, celebrating her unmatched comedic brilliance, iconic performances, and lasting influence on movies and pop culture.

EP.37 Rob Reiner Legacy and the Thin Line Between Remakes and Rip-Offs!

Mike and Angel are back to talk about the tragic news of iconic actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner. They honor his incredible ’80s and ’90s run, from directing the mockumentary genius of This Is Spinal Tap to the courtroom tension of A Few Good Men. Reiner mastered every genre, defining our nostalgia through films that still resonate to this day. Then, Mike and Angel dive into the thin line between remakes, carbon copies, and glaring rip-offs. They debate if The Hunger Games is a blatant copy of Battle Royale, while exposing secret remakes that might be too close for comfort. It’s about who wraps the gift better as we look toward a massive 2026. Enjoy!

It’s Halloween season on Terrotinos, and Mike and Angel are diving deep into the dark corners of sci-fi and horror.

Then they shift gears to The Long Walk, the new Stephen King film adaptation that takes endurance to a deadly level. Finally, the duo goes all-in on horror remakes — debating which ones nailed it, which ones butchered it, and why Hollywood just can’t stop resurrecting these remakes.
