We watched the classic Edward Murphy classic Vampire In Brooklyn which is now considered a classic and now we want to stroll the streets of NYC circa-1995 for female roommates. This movie was a childhood favorite of Phoenix and the group ended up somehow liking the movie so he felt vindicated. This was a packed episode as far as the LIW cast goes. We managed to cram Phoenix, Rio, Bri, Joe, Brent AND Ryan in the same room to record.
23: The Last Stand (2013)
We watched The Last Stand starring Governor McRib as a small town Arizona sheriff trying to stop the evil Cortez, played by Laker's power forward Pau Gasol, from crossing the border and now we want to hire Cortez's crew to fix our roads. His crew was equal amounts evil and efficient. A deadly mixture when it comes to crushing deadlines on road construction. This movie wasn't that bad so we trail off into weird areas but someone manage to come back to discussing this movie.
22: LOL (2012)
We watched LOL and now we desire a life in which we laugh more...out loud. Or a life that isn't 8th grade like these cast members seem to be permanently stuck in. This movie was about 12 minutes of plot stretched out over 97 minutes. Miley Cyrus was terrible. The plot was terrible. The characters were terrible. The movie overall somehow as just boring. Also, Mario gets mad at Brad and Joe because they didn't save his phone number yet. His feelings toward them were as shitty as this movie.
21: Genre Recap: Sports
In this episode we decided to not watch a movie and instead focus on our ten favorite sports movies of all time. We chose some classics, some randoms and Phoenix's top 5 list is unheard of by the rest of the group. It's not his fault that Slap Shot is from the 70's. Either way, we deserved a break after the trio of The Hillz, Sky Captain and Meteor Man. Vacation well deserved.
20: The Meteor Man (1993)
In this episode we learned the true meaning of community via a meteor that rapes a man's chest. This movie was a best-of for LIW. It contained numerous rappers, out of place music and tons of blonde-haired gangsters.
19: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow (2004)
We watched Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow and now we hate the future. This movie should have been amazing considering it's an awesome blend of 1940's and sci-fi but instead it's a boring train wreck. It would be like sleeping aboard the sinking Titanic.
18: The Hillz (2004)
We watched The Hillz and now we have fetishes for spelling errors and white gangsters. This movie was the more poorly edited, directed and written movie we've seen in a long time. By far the worst we've done on the show. This movie put April Fool's Day to shame. Alas, now we know that 90's gangster rap lied to us. Compton isn't the problem. The real ghetto is apparently the Hollywood Hills (Hillz).
17: House At The End Of The Street (2012)
I watched House At The End Of The Street and now I want to Frankenstein this twist onto another movie. This week Phoenix pulls a solo episode on a movie that could have been awesome if it were made by filmmakers with competence. Check out this movie on Netflix instant to understand fully.
16: April Fool's Day (2008)
We didn't watch April Fool's Day. See what I did there? Anyway, it was the super unknown version from 2008 which came nowhere near touching the 80's classic. In this episode we learned a thing or two about roofie-ing women for sex and/or murder or as we here at the show call it: romance. Some women just want more than others and the integrity of their drinks pay the price. Terrible movie with terrible actors performing terrible dialogue written by apparently nobody.
15: Dangerous Ground (1997)
We watched Dangerous Ground and now we know how to survive in South Central....of South Africa. This Ice Cube and Ving Rhames classic is sure to please the entire family. As long as your family hates the "new" South Africa. This movie was made in 1997 but it felt like 1992.
14: Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996)
We watched Leprechaun 4 and we were excited to see it was set in the CG voids of space. We see our first bit of major nudity and it was a real wasted bummer. We marveled at this technical masterpiece, awestruck by the incredibly realistic CG spaceships. Phoenix is blown away by the fact that the Leprechaun is enlarged to 60 feet, is known for rhyming and the movie doesn't attempt a Jack And The Beanstalk reference. The rhyming possibilities were endless but they didn't even attempt any. This movie was neither scary nor funny. The story was not sane. This was barely a movie.
13: Major League: Back To The Minors (1998)
We watched Major League: Back To The Minors and for the first time in our lives we missed Wesley Snipes. Historians will eventual reveal that we were the only humans in history to have had that feeling.
12: R.I.P.D. (2013)
We watched R.I.P.D. and now we check under our beds for dead-o's and have a fear of Mark Twain. R.I.P.D. was a R.I.P.O.F.F.
11: Shocker (1989)
We watched Shocker and now we're shocked at how shockingly confused we are about Shocker. This movie is, beat for beat, A Nightmare On Elm Street with electronics. Not exactly a compliment when it's from the same director only 5 years later.
10: Valentine's Day (2010)
We saw Valentine's Day and now love is dead. This movie left us black hearted and wishing for a divorce from life. This movie almost broke us.
9: Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)
We watched Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters and now we know that witches are a good alternative to sleeping pills in the villain department.
8: Deep Blue Sea (1999)
We watched Deep Blue Sea and now we are certified marine biologists. Oh, and also experts in the field of marine genetics as long as we are given the keys to rewrite their genetic makeup.
7: Tank Girl (1995)
We watched Tank Girl and now we have fetishes for genetically altered kangaroos. This movie was like an acid trip in the desert.
6: Vamps (2012)
We watched Vamps and now want want a vampire BFF. This was a rough episode to do but we managed. Hopefully next week's episode of Tank Girl goes smoother.
5: A Good Day To Die Hard (2013)
Die Hard - Amazing. Die Hard 2 - Decent. Die Hard 3 - Amazing. Die Hard 4 - Alright. Die Hard 5 - Dogshit. In this episode we break down exactly how little Bruce Willis cares about his movies nowadays.
