28: The Running Man

30: Kingpin

Before memes, before streaming, and before bowling movies had any right to exist, Kingpin crashed into theaters and quietly became a cult legend. We revisit the Farrelly brothers’ brand of chaos, Bill Murray’s unhinged Ernie McCracken performance, and how a box-office flop turned into a cable-TV staple. Grab a beer, lace up your shoes, and remember why the ’90s were built different.

29: Lethal Weapon

Cuz & Gus lock and load for the ultimate buddy-cop classic, Lethal Weapon. Set during Christmas — because nothing says “holiday cheer” like explosions and bad decisions — the film pairs Mel Gibson’s unhinged Riggs with Danny Glover’s perpetually exhausted Murtaugh to create the action-duo blueprint Hollywood’s been chasing ever since. The guys break down the 80s excess, the muscle-bound villains, the questionable police work, and the eternal debate: is Lethal Weapon actually a Christmas movie? Grab some eggnog, holster a Beretta, and revisit the holiday action classic that proves peace on Earth was never an option.

28: The Running Man

It’s 2019… the dystopian hellscape we were promised back in the 80s. Cuz & Gus dive head-first into The Running Man, the neon-drenched, chaos-filled Arnold Schwarzenegger classic that somehow predicted reality TV, media manipulation, and America’s obsession with violence—just with more spandex and chainsaws. The guys break down the film’s infamously messy production (director fired, rewrites, budget implosions), Richard Dawson’s legendary villain turn as Damon Killian, and why the movie’s accidental campiness made it a cult favorite instead of the dark thriller Stephen King actually wrote. We cover the Stalkers, the weird game-show logic, the absolute 80s insanity of Dynamo singing opera in a light-up suit, and Arnold delivering one-liners like he’s being paid per pun. From satire that aged a little too well, to a remake on the horizon, to what this movie got shockingly right about the future, Cuz & Gus dig into all the blood, bullets, buzzsaws, and baked-in Reagan-era paranoia that make The Running Man one of Arnold’s most watchable disasters. Lights. Camera. Subzero. Now… plane zero.

27: Unforgiven

Clint Eastwood hung up his spurs with Unforgiven, a western that burns the myth of the Old West to the ground. Cuz, Gus, and special guest Malt saddle up to break down this 1992 masterpiece — a world of bad men, worse lawmen, and the women who finally demand justice when nobody else will. From Gene Hackman’s terrifying turn as Little Bill to Morgan Freeman’s quiet heartbreak as Ned, the crew dives deep into every grimy moral corner of Big Whiskey. Expect heated debate, sharp one-liners, and a few existential questions about who really deserves forgiveness in a world built on blood and bullshit. Pull up a chair, pour something strong (or don’t), and ride with us into the mud, myth, and morality of Unforgiven.

26: Halloween

Cuz & Gus head back to Haddonfield for a Halloween classic that defined the slasher genre and made everyone check their closets before bed. Armed with a glass of something strong and a reckless sense of nostalgia, the boys dissect John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece — Halloween — where silence is scarier than blood and evil wears a William Shatner mask. They break down why Michael Myers kills (or doesn’t), why Jamie Lee Curtis is the original Final Girl, and why this low-budget indie still crushes modern horror 45 years later. It’s drinks, banter, and Boogeymen — the ultimate spooky-season rewind.
