Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)

I've you've ever wondered why Richard Grieco never made it on the big screen, this 1991 box office flop might be to blame. But was "If Looks Could Kill" really all that bad? The supporting cast is fantastic, the parody of James Bond films is a lot of fun, the sex appeal is there, and the memorable one-liners keep you smiling.  But this movie is far from perfect. Grieco's face looks rubbery, he's in his mid-20s, and the plot really doesn't make sense. Who sends their kid to France for failing French?  Hear why Ash thinks Tom Cruise is the last true action star, why Gene shaved his arms, and why Big D made a trip to the public library in this edition of "Shat The Movies."

Shat The Movies super-supporter Emmett is back with a rare genre of film: apocalyptic religious horror pregnancy porn. "The Seventh Sign" features a young Demi Moore playing the most active mom-to-be in cinematic history, Jurgen Prochnow from "Das Boot" playing (spoiler alert) Jesus, and Michael Biehn from "The Terminator,"  "Aliens," and "Tombstone" once again refused the hero's role. Big D takes a crash course in Biblical interpretation. Gene begs for a remake. And Ash cringes at the Hall of Souls. Along the way, we also discuss hot fish, why movie doctors don't try very hard, how easy it is to infiltrate an execution, renting rooms to strangers, and how tough the Seven Seals of God should be.

Oliver Stone gave the '80s and '90s some of their greatest films, so it's about time Shat The Movie dove into his catalog. And what better introductory film than "Platoon," a movie that combined Stone's artistry and military experience in a brilliant reflection on the Vietnam War. In this episode, Big D and Ash review the movie and the war through personal tales and family history. Gene digs into the social and racial aspects of the conflict, and the Shat Crew celebrates a knockout cast at its best. Other topics include the definition of masculinity, how to tell combat veterans from glory thieves, and why "Forrest Gump" is overrated.

Summer vacations, cabin trips, lakeside living, nature walks, and spending time with family are enough to make the most cynical Shat The Movies listener nostalgic. On this Fathers Day recording, we visit John Candy's "The Great Outdoors," a classic '80s comedy that holds a dear place in many a heart. Brothers Adam, Josh, and John R. commissioned "The Great Outdoors" in honor of their late father and the childhood memories they built with him. Big D related to being a dad. Ash contrasted the idyllic mood of the movie with her own childhood vacations. And Gene was taken back to his summer fantasies of meeting a mean girl in a denim jacket. Of course, the Shat Crew also covers The 96er, the endless animal gags, Dan Aykroyd's oddly enjoyable performance, and bear dumps. But the real meat of this movie is laughing at jokes and situations that work BECAUSE we've seen them—and lived them— so many times.  SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW Android: http://shatthemovies.com/android Apple/iTunes: http://shatthemovies.com/itunes Social Media: Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat Website: http://shatthemovies.com/ HELP SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate with Paypal: http://shatthemovies.com/paypal Donate With Venmo: https://venmo.com/shatpodcasts Get Podcast Merchandise: http://shatthemovies.com/shop Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=shatmovies-20 Sponsor's Listener Survey: http://shatthemovies.com/survey Leave an iTunes Review: http://shatthemovies.com/review Vote for our Next Movies: http://shatthemovies.com/vote Feeds & Social Media: http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Leave a Voicemail: (914) 719-SHAT - (914) 719-7428 Email: hosts@shatthemovies.com Listen to our TV Podcasts: https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite: https://www.facebook.com/guyznite

"Back to the Future Part III" is a master class in how to make a time-travel comedy. It's a love letter to Old Hollywood Westerns. And it's the final note in a legendary trilogy. Guest host Kevin Brackett (Reel Spoilers podcast) joins Ash and Gene this week to discuss the countless callbacks, outstanding action, and brilliant performances that elevated what some consider the weakest of the Back to the Future series. We get into Christopher Lloyd's puppy-dog brown eyes, the Back to the Future theme park ride, elaborate dioramas, the movie's "Gilligan's Island" tendencies, Gene's Two-DeLorean Conundrum, and a hotly debated ending that involves a small child pointing at his genitals.

Before Tom Sizemore and Mickey Rourke made flops of their careers, they starred in one of the most epic box office failures of the '90s: "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man." Was the world just not ready for an action comedy that played out like a comic book, or is this movie truly rushed and sloppy?  The Shat Crew was fully divided on this forgotten film, but not in the ways you might expect. A few things we did agree on: Don Johnson is a charming S.O.B., Harley-Davidsons are garbage motorcycles, Daniel Baldwin was cheated by the gene pool, and sometimes you need to just let a movie end. Listener Lachlan H. commissioned this cinematic collection of life advice from all the way down in Australia, reminding us "it's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool."

Before there was "Scream" or "Scary Movie, a little movie called "Student Bodies" pioneered the slasher-film spoof. But was it too far ahead of its time, with too few movies to parody? In Dick Ebert's estimation, "two out of eight jokes" are funny in this 1981 trailblazer that made him laugh as a boy. Gene and Ash think that's generous as the Shat Crew discusses The Breather, jokes about the differently abled, and the magic of Malvert. Film commissioner Dan in Park Ridge, IL, makes Shat history with this episode, and we discover the racially charged background of the eggplant.
