Join us for our review of Small Soldiers, a very weird movie the three of us grew up watching about super advanced toy soldiers waging war on their Gorgonite Scum enemies and the suburban neighborhood they inhabit. It featured some funny performances from David Cross, Denis Leary and especially Phil Hartman. We hope you like this return to the world of Joe Dante! Not since they days of The ‘Burbs… Join us again next time for 1989’s Road House!
This week we review Shrek 2, the massively successful sequel to the massively successful film about a green guy who eats bugs and bathes in filth. Was it better or worse than the original? Why was the king such a wuss? What was up with Pinocchio’s under garments? Why is Donkey so annoying this time? These questions and more on the modern day School of Athens that is Mondo Cool Movie Dudes. Join us next time for Small Soldiers!
That’s right, we’re not dead yet! For the first time in 14 months we’ve re-emerged to bring you our long promised review of 1985’s Mask, starring Eric Stoltz, Cher and Sam Elliott. It’s the story of a seriously disfigured kid who’s pretty much raised by a biker gang, but still gets the most out of life. It turns out to be anything but the Hallmark Hall of Fame style schlock that we envisioned.
Thanks for waiting, and join us again soon for 2004’s Shrek 2!
Join us four our review of the elaborately titled Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, based on the popular Adult Swim show. It’s a movie that raises a lot of questions but leaves some unanswered. But hey, for a movie about an out of control exercise machine designed by a talking watermelon from outer space, it’s pretty damn funny. Tune in all the way to the end for a special offer!

Join us for our review of 1989’s The ‘Burbs, from back before Tom Hanks was Big Bank Hanks, and he mostly starred in comedies. What would you do if some weird Germans moved into your neighborhood and shortly after, the old man next door disappeared? Hanks deals with all that, along with his two oddball neighbors driving him crazy. New year, new memes, on Mondo Cool Movie Dudes!

Join us for episode 27, our take on Ron Howard’s not so beloved version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey. This one reminded us a bit of Shrek, as it featured quite a bit of adult humor for a supposed kids’ movie, and a green protagonist. What’s up with the Grinch’s growth rate? Is Christmas this movie’s allegory for God? Do 6 year olds really get burned out on the holidays? All that and more in episode.

Join us for our review of the Twin Peaks pilot episode, both with and without the closed ending. Sorry about the delay on this one, Mack had a bad case of the sniffles. It tells the story of a small town murder mystery and all the weirdos involved. Who killed Laura Palmer? Why does Leo talk like that? And what’s the deal with that closed ending?

Join us for our landmark 25th episode, in which we celebrate the season with one of the most bizarre, perplexing movies we’ve ever reviewed, 2012’s ThanksKilling 3. We get an inside look on the villainous Turkie’s family life, the relationship between a space worm and a robot rock monster, and everyone’s favorite cliche, a rapping granny. What a feast.
Join us next time for our review of the pilot episode of Twin Peaks!
