They Called This a Movie

It's Wrestlemania week, and we're celebrating the GOAT John Cena, as he makes one last appearance at the big event. This week, we're watching one of his early starring roles in 12 Rounds.  Join us as we discuss Cena's attempt to be a serious action star, Aidan Gillan's accent, and how closely the film resembles the plot to Die Hard With a Vengeance.  The Patreon page is now live and you can check it out at Patreon.com/TCTAMPod [https://Patreon.com/TCTAMPod].

This week is Wrestlemania Week, so as a bonus episode, we are trying out some new content. We recently launched a Patreon [https://patreon.com/TCTAMPod] and are currently working out what kind of bonus material our listeners would be interested in, so we're going to do a series of "pilot episodes" in the next coming weeks to test out some ideas.  This week, we're starting off this pilot season of sorts with pro wrestling content. This week is Wrestlemania week, so we're getting behind our mics to give out our Wrestlemania 41 predictions. Mark and Anthony are up to date on the storylines, but Dan is mostly predicting on vibes. Let's see who winds up with the best guesses.  Is this the sort of content that would get you to subscribe to our Patreon? Let us know on any of our socials below our email us at TCTAMPod@gmail.com.  PATREON: patreon.com/tctampod [https://patreon.com/tctampod] INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/tctampod [https://instagram.com/tctampod] BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/tctampod.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/tctampod.bsky.social] THREADS: threads.com/tctampod [https://threads.com/tctampod] TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@theycalledthisamovie [https://www.tiktok.com/@theycalledthisamovie]

No, we're not watching cowboy Tom Selleck in the Outback. We're watching Gary Busey act like a dog in a Christian propaganda movie with the director of Longlegs. It's Quigley on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie.  Join us as we discuss Gary Busey's trajectory from Oscar-nominated actor to unhinged maniac, praise the dog's acting ability, and question the quality of video games in the movie.  The Patreon page is now live and you can check it out at Patreon.com/TCTAMPod [https://Patreon.com/TCTAMPod].

Throw on your best long-sleeved shirt and dress combo and crank that Avril Lavigne, as They Called This a Movie travels all the way back to 2008 and the days of ABC Family Channel. With Dan on vacation this week, Mark and Anthony decide to take the opportunity to watch one of their favorite terrible television shows: The Secret Life of the American Teenager.  Join us as they discuss the pilot episode and the series as a whole, as they talk about the awful main character, the show's obsession with sex, and Ernie Hudson. They also discuss the podcast's newly-launched Patreon page and discuss what the plans are for the future.

Take a ride with us this week on a rolling desk chair that David Arquette never gets out of, as we plunder the depths of Tubi with 2099: The Soldier Protocol, an Aussie-produced snorefest not good enough for The Asylum Brand of Approval.  Join us as we discuss where we checked out, discuss the fonts used in the credits, and recommend a better movie worthy of your time. We also finish out our March Madness tournament of movies we've covered in previous episodes.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.
