As Filmjitsu exits the 2024 Halloween season and returns to its normal programming, Jay lands a cinematic haymaker by forcing Mike to watch 2016's "9 Lives," a dreadful children's film in which Christopher Walken turns Kevin Spacey into a cat who has to learn how to poop in a litter box or... become a better dad. Amazingly, this was made BEFORE Spacey became a Hollywood pariah, the circumstances of which the guys tackle head-on while wrestling with the age-old question "Can we separate the artist from the art?" But before everything gets too heady, they get back to business by counting down their Bottom Five "Kids Films" which include some stellar turds made for the whole family! After that, there's a quick game of Kick Two, Pick Two in which four outstanding children's classics dual to the death! Will "The Neverending Story" make it out of Filmjitsu alive? Find out now!

On this week's episode of the podcast that wields films like deadly weapons, Mike and Jay bring a nuclear arsenal of big budget failures, first by tackling "Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever" during the main review and then tallying their bottom five Box-Office Bombs. How big of a quality-crater does the infamous Lucy Liu-Antonio Banderas actioner leave when compared to the other megaton failures the guys have suffered through? Find out by giving the show a listen, then stick around as our intrepid hosts play an inverted game of Kick-Two, Pick-Two where four terrible movies are listed and they are forced to keep two when all deserve a permanent home in the Forbidden Zone. Also, keep watching this feed as spooky season is upon us, and the guys have some excellent upcoming horror-themed shows and interviews coming up!

For this episode, things get hairy... (literally?) with Jay hurling Mike into the far-flung future of... 1991? By reviewing the Tom Selleck/Michael Crichton sci-fi team-up that is 1982's "Runaway," the guys embark on a thoughtful look back (and forward), at one point discussing how technology was predicted to have evolved and how it actually evolved. But before things get too heady, they quickly return to their usual foolishness, comparing their choices for bottom five mustaches in honor of the iconic soup-strainer Tom Selleck is best-known for. And if a list of 10 bad cinematic cookie-dusters isn't enough, Mike and Jay play an epic game of Kick Two, Pick Two that pits four famous dental drapes against one another, with only two allowed to survive on the upper lip of film history. Will Kurt Russell's "Tombstone" mouth mane make the cut? Listen now to find out!
