Episode 379 - Damage (2009)

We're practicing our lefts and rights, as we follow Stone Cold Steve Austin and Walton Goggins into the world of gimmicky underground street fights, as we watch the direct-to-video Damage on this week's episode.  Join us as we discuss Walton Goggins being too good for this movie, Steve Austin's sleepy performance, and the logistics of trying to earn the kind of money at stake by fighting in underground street fights.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Episode 378 - Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987)

We dip into the world of student films this week, with perhaps one of the most infamous. Nearly lost due to copyright lawsuits, we watched Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, made by director Todd Haynes when he was a film student.  Join us as we discuss the use of Barbies to tell the story, the low quality transfers, and how the film tackles the subject matter.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Episode 377 - American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987)

It's time to put on our blue jeans, grab a Budweiser, and maybe blowup part of your hand with a firework, as we get ready to celebrate America on its 250th birthday. It's America: Fuck Yeah! for our June Movie of the Month, and we're celebrating with American Ninja 2: The Confrontation.  Join us as we discuss super ninjas that aren't all that super, white billionaires with Caribbean islands, and how we wish we got more Steve James.  Want to help us decide our next movie of the month?

Episode 376 - Man of Steel (2013)

Take a step back to 2013, when superheroes were all the rage and every movie was underlit and blue. We're watching Zack Snyder's Man of Steel on this week's episode.  Join us as we discuss the muted colors, that bloated third act, and whether we'd be happy to have this Superman at our party.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Episode 375 - Who Killed Captain Alex? (2010)

Get ready for some SUPA ACTION, as we watch Uganda's first action film, Who Killed Captain Alex?
