055 Tomb Raider (2018)

Date Posted: 10/29/2019

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!

Warcraft: The Beginning

054 Warcraft: The Beginning

Date Posted: 10/22/2019

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.

The Angry Birds Movie

Hitman

051 Hitman

Date Posted: 10/01/2019

Silent Hill

050 Silent Hill

Date Posted: 09/24/2019

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!

Doom

049 Doom

Date Posted: 09/17/2019

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

048 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Date Posted: 09/10/2019

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.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

047 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Date Posted: 09/03/2019

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.

Wing Commander

046 Wing Commander

Date Posted: 08/27/2019

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.

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?".

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.

Hard Rain

020 Hard Rain

Date Posted: 11/06/2018
Entrance Actor: Randy Quaid
Exit Actor: Betty White

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.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash

019 The Adventures of Pluto Nash

Date Posted: 10/30/2018
Entrance Actor: Rosario Dawson
Exit Actor: Randy Quaid

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!

Wonder Woman

018 Wonder Woman

Date Posted: 10/09/2018
Entrance Actor: Virginia Madsen
Exit Actor: Rosario Dawson

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.

Candyman

017 Candyman

Date Posted: 10/02/2018
Entrance Actor: Tony Todd
Exit Actor: Virginia Madsen

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!

Shadowbuilder

016 Shadowbuilder

Date Posted: 09/25/2018
Entrance Actor: Michael Rooker
Exit Actor: Tony Todd

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?

The Replacement Killers

015 The Replacement Killers

Date Posted: 09/18/2018
Entrance Actor: Chow Yun-Fat
Exit Actor: Michael Rooker

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!

The Killer

014 The Killer

Date Posted: 09/11/2018
Entrance Actor: Danny Lee
Exit Actor: Chow Yun-Fat

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.

The Mighty Peking Man

013 The Mighty Peking Man

Date Posted: 09/04/2018
Entrance Actor: Wei Tu Lin
Exit Actor: Danny Lee

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.

Corpse Mania

012 Corpse Mania

Date Posted: 08/28/2018
Entrance Actor: Ni Tien
Exit Actor: Wei Tu Lin

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

Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold

011 Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold

Date Posted: 08/21/2018
Entrance Actor: Stella Stevens
Exit Actor: Ni Tien

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

Mom

010 Mom

Date Posted: 08/14/2018
Entrance Actor: Claudia Christian
Exit Actor: Stella Stevens

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!

Maniac Cop 2

009 Maniac Cop 2

008 It’s Alive

Date Posted: 07/31/2018
Entrance Actor: Patrick McAllister
Exit Actor: James Dixon

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?

The Prophecy

007 The Prophecy

Date Posted: 07/24/2018
Entrance Actor: Amanda Plummer
Exit Actor: Patrick McAllister

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?

Entrance Actor: Keith David
Exit Actor: Emilio Estevez

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.

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".
