062 Season Two Retrospective
As is true with all quality video games our Season of VGM episodes has it's own end boss! Join Jon, Jason, and Special Guest Dungeon Wizard Pat!
060 VGMT Round 2
Round One is finally over, now it's time to see which action figures make it out of the fiery pit that is Round Two.
059 VGMT Round 1 Set 2
Round One of the The Golden Eagle Cup is finally here. Why? Because what's the point of having hard crusted candy shells if you can't smash them together and see which one survives?! On to the damage.. I mean action!
058 VGMT Round 1 Set 1
Round One of the The Golden Eagle Cup is finally here. Why? Because what's the point of having hard crusted candy shells if you can't smash them together and see which one survives?! On to the damage.. I mean action!
057 Pokémon Detective Pikachu
Ladies & gentleman when it comes to podcasting we want to be the very best. Like no one ever was! To discuss movies is our real test... to watch them is our cause. We travel across the media platforms searching far & wide. Each film to understand the power that's inside. Movies! Got to watch em all! It's you and me and you. I know its our destiny! Pokémon Detective Pikachu!
056 Rampage
George a giant gorilla that's definitely not King Kong teams up with a crocodile? Wait that's not right. George teams up with a giant lizard-not-lizard that's definitely not Godzilla and a wolf? What the hell? And the Rock plays a primatologist? Thats Rampage y'all.
055 Tomb Raider (2018)
After losing a grog drinking competition to Professor Groglots the Drinktackular Orc The Slop lost track of its surroundings, personal history and sense of object permanence long enough to watch Tomb Raider! A film we probably had never seen before!
054 Warcraft: The Beginning
We're nearing the end of this season & we are very tired. Jason is just a bleached skeleton giving the middle finger and Jon is down to just one prospector gold tooth he calls 'Chomper' that he uses to bite his beer cans open. Mack is crouched in the corner muttering something about 'building a snowman'. So this week we're going to save some energy and just give you "the beginning". Have fun with Warcraft.
053 The Angry Birds Movie
This week we ran down our cell phone batteries trying to figure out why someone created The Angry Birds Movie.
052 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
This time Prince of Persia! Because Assassin's Creed wouldn't load.
051 Hitman
This week on Hitman you'll believe a hardened killer can pontificate like a 2nd semester philosophy student... for far too long and without reaching a satisfying conclusion.
Pull up a stool and join in... this round of Haterade is on us.
050 Silent Hill
We now venture one jaunty pop-and-lock step in time forward into a previously unexplored sub-genre of video game film... the video game horror movie! Get you're stethoscopes & hot cop badges ready because we're going to throw this baby into the well in Silent Hill!
049 Doom
Now that we're all over the shock of not living in a world where the 87th most attractive woman of 2001 actually exists... we have to get our asses to mars.
048 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Fatigued by all the running and jumping from last week Jon, Jason and Mack venture into the blissful surreal world of eco-sci-fi-action in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Hopefully "the spirits" are whiskey and "within" means my stomach.
047 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
After last weeks movie-equivalent of batting-at-string Jason, Jon and Mack are ready to doff their fedoras and set off on their Indiana Jo... cough sorry... their Lara Croft: Tomb Raider adventure. Needless to say we are much relieved to be doing something that isn't a 1v1 stand-up combat game.
046 Wing Commander
Star Log Entry #0205-1999. This week Wing Commander Deveraux is being a total jerk bag again. She told me to wash my underwear out and said I can't play bumper fighter anymore. She's such a drag.
I'm going to run away.
- Todd "Maniac" Marshall XOXOXOXOXO
045 Mortal Kombat
In an epic showdown for the ages Jon & Jason go toe-to-toe with death risking annihilation. But when the critical moment arrives they refuse to accept the match saving the day! In this weeks episode the mega-super-ensemble film Mortal Kombat lurks in the shadows taking the form of gummy worm waiting to attack!
044 Street Fighter
Moving forward, or in this case laterally towards the center, we continue to one of the most venerated game franchises of all time Street Fighter. Hide your hatchback's kids things are about to get dangerous!
043 Double Dragon
This week watch with misty eyes as Scott Wolf Fist-Fives his way into the heart of Alyssa Milano... at until he loses control of his half of the magical medallion in Double Dragon.
042 Super Mario Bros.
In the second season of Cinema Slop we're taking a long hard look at video game movies in an attempt to win a bar bet. So settle into your jump suits and power boots because shits about to get weird. To start things out we dig into Super Mario Bros. It's a movie for the ages. The ages 6 and 48 only from what we can tell.
030 This Time it's Polygonal (A Format Change)
Oh no! The larder is bereft of pork rinds and Sir Bacon bits... what is a growing podcast to do?
This week Jon and Jason assemble a veritable brain trust to find the answer to the ultimate question "what stunt programming techniques could we substitute in our Bacon Casserole of a show?". If you answers anything that involving the words "Chips" or "Cheese" you may be onto something Dear Listener! Listen now and hear how you can help save the day!
021 Lake Placid
After meeting a displaced Betty White in Hard Rain we wanted to summer with her at her lake house. We arrive and meet her for lemonade and cookies before Sheriff Hank comes and ruins our lovely picnic. O.F.F. is totally a jerk about Betty's unlicensed pets and it just turns into a whole thing. Let's join Betty as she fights the man in order to keep her happy family together.
020 Hard Rain
After laughing ourselves silly watching the comedic genius that was the oddly shaped nugget on Robot Quaid in The Adventures of Pluto Nash Jason and Jon decide to investigate what other head shapes Randy Quaid is capable of using. Naturally a flooded mid-west town is a great place to utility heads. Diving Bell heads, drill heads, nose cone heads... so Jon and Jason jump into the regularly scheduled Hard Rain and the ensuing flood in the basin city of Huntingburg, Indiana.
019 The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Last time on Wonder Woman Rosario Dawson was a literal superhuman... today we follow Regular Rosario to the very special location of THE MOOOOOOON. She lands with a hope, a dream and a just enough moxie to be a singing superstar. Now that we have taken the time to establish that lets find out what it has to do with real estate!
018 Wonder Woman
Last week on the "Bacon Luge" we found that when you say Candyman 5 times into a mirror Tony Todd Pops up and murders people... This week we ask "what happens if you say 'Doctoral Candidate Helen Lyle' into the mirror 5 times?". Apparently Virginia Madsen crafts a baby from blood and sand and asexually births a female humanoid demigod hero.... not the female humanoid demigod hero we deserve but the female humanoid demigod hero we need. It's all DC so I assume that line works no matter how you apply it. This week Wonder Woman.....Animated.
017 Candyman
Tony Todd does a great vanishing act in Shadowdbuilder but when he goes into the magic box with no mirrors where does he emerge? This week we find out that the answer is a tenement in Chicago.... lets check out Candyman!
016 Shadowbuilder
Last time Michael Rooker was a cop in The Replacement Killers. Today he is a hired gun... for the Lord! That's right! We ARE watching the seminal breakthrough Bram Stoker classic Shadowbuilder. Old Rook has to stop an evil cabal of Catholic Satanists from plucking three hairs from the head of a stigmata-baby and chanting real loud at a couple of sticks summoning a sentient humanoid shadow-demon impersonating the space cowboy Spike from the spaceship Bebop to open the door to hell... ya follow?
015 The Replacement Killers
Did you spend the majority of The Killer wishing that it was in English and there was more then one "Killer"? Well then boy-howdy are you in for a treat! Watch as someone copy and pastes the script to last weeks movie into Google-Translate and we see what comes out the other side!
014 The Killer
Last week Danny Lee was searching for something and he caused the death of nearly everyone in the world. This week Chow Yun-Fat causes the death of nearly everyone in the world which makes him search for something. There has to be something meaningful in that dichotomy. Join us as we discover the disappointing answer to that mystery in The Killer.
013 The Mighty Peking Man
Last week we watched in awe as Ni Tien conspired to build a log cabin out of corpses in what can only be described as a Corpse Mania. Naturally the corpse pile was just a framing device for the cousin of a guy. So naturally this week we follow that guy into the mountains where we heard there was a Kong.. no wait.. a Mighty Joe... no wait... a Mighty Peking Man... on the loose.. lets see what happens.
012 Corpse Mania
Last week we enjoyed what in hindsight was a completely uncontroversial and fun blaxploitation/James bond style globe hopping adventure starring Ni Tien as the cute as a button but deadly serious martial arts skilled sidekick of cleopatra Jones. Let’s hope this week things are just as cheerful and carefree as they were in Ms. Tien’s heroine kingpin busting days. We join the necrophilic adventures in progress in Corpse Mania
011 Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold
Last week Stella Stevens was bested in single combat by Mom... it wasn't a fair fight. Stella had no idea what about going down at the time and naturally being a lycan-granny is against the rules of most boxing commissions. But you can't keep a good woman down and so this week Stella Stevens is back and she's going to challenge some fool to a duel.... in the old school.... its pretty cool... stay tuned for Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold
010 Mom
Claudia Christian handled herself commendably against the reanimated corpse of a rouge policeman last week so naturally we asked ourselves, "Self... how do you think Ms. Christian would fare against the most fabled beast of yore? (Dramatic Pause) The Lycanthrope! (Music cue)". Well if you, like some of us at Cinema Slop, have spent the last decade writing Cmdr. Susan Ivanova vs Hideous monster fan-fiction then you're in luck because we finally know the answer! This week... its The ultimate military officer vs. The Matron of Satan... Mom!
009 Maniac Cop 2
Last Week we saw monster babies harass Officer Dixon but don't worry Officer Dixon is back on the case this week as he hunts out corruption within the NYPD.
008 It’s Alive
Last week we found out that a corpse can be the most important plot point in a movie other then Weekend at Bernies. Since the corpse was so dang important we wanted to see what other acting gigs required those sorts of acting chops. This week we meet a very much alive Patrick McAllister in the delivery room where the babies are alive... and thats somehow an issue?
007 The Prophecy
We like Amanda Plummer and she was a weirdo Nun Last time in Freejack. This Week she's gone to the other side and confirmed all her beliefs to be true.. or not... theologically I'm not sure what we find out this week. We meet the devil and stuff but who knows what the hell this all means.. maybe you can figure out what The Prophecy is talking about?
This Week Special Guest Contributor Zac
006 Freejack
We have accidentally become an Emilio Estevez based show. Welcome to the mans third consecutive appearance. We swear it was an accident and shan't be repeated. Last time Frankie Faison's found his dropped keys and has now driven off into the sunset. When the sun rises he's been transported into the future where he has no job skills aside from culinary creativity. Lets see where this goes...
005 Maximum Overdrive
Today we followed the garbagy pong of Emilio Estevez from Men at Work to a small highway truck stop where Emilio has gotten promoted all the way to line cook. Things start getting weird for our country diner when the earth goes through a comets tail... yep. Those two ideas are directly connected in Maximum Overdrive.
004 Men at Work
In todays episode we followed Keith David out of the wintery hell of Antarctica in The Thing(1982) into the comparatively pleasant life of a garbage man in Men at work.
Carl Taylor and James St. James have pellet based hijinks and eco-mayhem ensues in this weeks literal garbage movie Men at Work in which there is shockingly little work being done.
003 The Thing (1982)
After battling the forces of evil in San Fran Kurt Russell's Pork Chop Express has arrived at its final destination, the Arctic. It's a wintery hell-scape but old Kurt likes it just fine. Just don't mess with his shack, his scotch or his bodily autonomy. Let's sit back and watch...
002 Big Trouble in Little China
In todays episode we have followed the delightful Victor Wong from his previous home in Perfection Vally to San Francisco where he and his misfit-band of friends will have a mystical adventure that begins as all great stories do.... in an attorney's office.
001 Tremors
Episode One: The Source
Jon and Jason Have arrived on the internet 15 years fashionably late. We're here to give a little love and a little salt to the world of pork products.. specifically to the Bacon product category.
Our podcast is simple. Using a Process called Backward Baconing, we start with His Eminence himself Mr Kevin Bacon in the 1990 Classic Tremors. After we have enjoyed this film completely we will choose our favorite character/actor from the film and select a film from their catalog.
There is no guarantee our choices will be wise, informed or even logical but it should be a good laugh. Join us on our choose your own adventure style journey into the unknown corners of cinematic pig pen from whence Bacon came.
Todays Episode Tremors
We join a small town already in progress as it discovers, "We've got worms".
