Caddyshack (1980)

"Pet Sematary" might be Stephen King's biggest '80s movie hit, but is it any good after 30 years? That depends on whether you value good moviemaking over good writing. Find out what The Ramones had to do with getting this movie made, why you shouldn't let your cat outside, when it's safe to picnic in Maine, why Fred Gwynne sounds like a '40s detective, and why Cemetery is spelled Sematary. Kerri Gross, Dick Ebert, and Gene Lyons also cover: horrendous parenting skills even worse fence-building skills when open-casket funerals make sense when infants are the best actors in a movie and how fast a toddler can actually run. How did nobody call PETA on this one? Was this the first actually scary movie we reviewed? Who the hell edited this thing? Find out in this week's super-spooky edition of Shat The Movies!

"Friday the 13th" changed the world of horror movies when in debuted in 1980, picking up the slasher flick genre where "Halloween" left off. The cast's biggest star was an unknown Kevin Bacon, and the budget was a measly $550,000. With that, "Friday The 13th" made Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhees, and "Ki ki ki, ma ma ma" household names. King Bee guest hosts this episode of Shat The Movies as we compare cultural appropriation with cultural celebration, discuss checking dog dicks to address them by the appropriate title, learn how to jump out of moving cars, and weigh the challenges of strip Monopoly. Find out why Kerri Gross had to delete the Uber app, why good things are good, how King Bee rescued a 2-year-old girl on his 21st birthday, and what really happens when you're decapitated. The Shat Crew also examines why one "Friday the 13th" character sleeps all the time, the merits of sex while wearing shoes, and why Wes Anderson should be tapped for the next "Friday the 13th" movie. Also, Kerri once pulled the wings off a butterfly.

Halloween is in the air, and the Shat crew is ready to get spoopy! Forty years after "Halloween" introduced America to Michael Myers and one week before Jamie Lee Curtis returns in the 11th installment of the series, we examine the original to see if it holds up. Big D explains the "Star Trek" origins of the Michael Myers mask and questions the reality of babysitter sex. Gene dives deep into the history of Judith Myers' boobs. And Kerri Gross asks just how far a man can carry a 150-pound headstone in one day. Other lessons learned from the 1978 "Halloween" include: strip off your clothes if you spill butter, always check the back seat of the car, never rely on children to help you in a crisis, assume small-town sheriffs are useless, don't exit your vehicle if mental patients are roaming around at night, and—most of all—don't audibly cry while hiding from a serial killer. Is "Halloween" a genius independent film that's worth a four decade legacy? Or is it just an un-scary bump in John Carpenter's resume? Find out as Shat The Movies ventures into a month of horror reviews.

"Gleaming The Cube" brought skateboard culture to the big screen with one of the weirdest plots we've seen to date: A skater Christian Slater investigates the accidental murder of his adopted Vietnamese brother while Tony Hawk delivers pizza. The villains are stereotypical. The action scenes defy the laws of physics. The blood looks more like Kool-Aid, and the romance is just plain creepy. But there's something about "Gleaming The Cube" that's made it a cult classic despite what Big D calls a conspiracy to keep it hidden from the world. Kerri Gross regrets voting for this movie dozens of times from different computers. Roger Roeper defends it as an accurate depiction of skateboarders' lifestyle, and Dick Ebert wishes the Shat Score could go even higher to express what a turd it was. BONUS CONTENT: Stick around after the end trailer to hear Kerri's tribute to Adam Levine of Maroon 5.  Support With Venmo:https://venmo.com/ShatPodcasts Shop Amazon With Our Free Affiliate Link:https://www.amazon.com/?tag=shatmovies-20  Leave an iTunes Review:http://shatthemovies.com/review Leave a Voicemail: (914) 719-SHAT - (914) 719-7428 Vote for our Next Movies:http://shatthemovies.com/vote Subscribe to our Feeds & Follow us on Social Media: http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Checkout our TV Podcasts:https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite https://www.facebook.com/guyznite

If you've never fallen in love with a friend, consider yourself lucky. If you've ever fallen in love with a friend, consider this romcom a treasure. "When Harry Met Sally" used to just be "That Meg Ryan orgasm scene movie" when we were kids. But like the title characters, we've grown up and better understand the intricacies of romance. The question of "Can men and women be just friends?" and concept of "high maintenance" are a lot more relevant at 31 than 13.  Kerri, Big D, and Gene get really real on this podcast. Big D explains what makes a marriage work. Kerri dissects what it is to love a friend, and Gene identifies with romantic ghosting. It's a very personal, a bit reflective, and like nothing we've ever done before.  But we still rain Shat on Billy Crystal's hair, '80s women's obsession with marriage, mismatched couples, fake orgasms, and—of course—happy endings. Grab a tissue, pull your sweetheart close, and try not to fall in love.

When you think "My Cousin Vinny," you might think "Joe Pesci comedy classic," but there's a lot more to this 1992 North-meets-South courtroom farce. For Gene, there's Marisa Tomei at her finest: A charming Mona Lisa Vito with a heart of gold and a wardrobe to match. She's the ultimate '90s Italian heartthrob who delivers the best lines of the movie. For Roger, there's beloved Fred Gwynne in his final film role. TV's Herman Munster brings warm and gentle comedy to Vinny's Judge Chamberlain Haller after an amazing life story that included World War II service. And for Big D, there's about 100 jokes involving miscommunication, dick jokes, and implied prison rape. Is that enough to save "My Cousin Vinny" from overly formulaic writing? Does the fact "Vinny" is used in actual law schools help? Or is this just a middle-of-the-road '90s comedy?  Listen in, then tell us what you think at hosts@shatthemovies.com.

Arnold Schwarzenegger considered "Last Action Hero" the beginning of the end of his film career. After a string of blockbusters, Arnold had a flop on his hands. "Last Action Hero" — a self-referential parody of every action movie that made Arnold's career — didn't sit well with fans who didn't know what to make of it. Oh, and it was competing with a little movie called "Jurassic Park." But there's a lot to love about this cinematic oddity: intentionally painful puns, boundless cameos, purposefully ridiculous action sequences, and Arnold being Arnold. Gene gets a little too cerebral. Kerri reveals her obsession with fart jokes and hatred for AC/DC, and Big D brings the best Schwarzenegger impressions in the business in this Big Gun of a Shat The Movies episode.

When "Arachnophobia" was released in in 1990, advertisers were uncertain as to whether they should market the film as a thriller or a comedy. Therefore, television spots promoting the film billed it as a "thrill-omedy". Apparently, nobody saw Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters II.  With Gene out traveling, Big D & Roger welcome back Kerri Gross to the podcast as they relive some of their most harrowing experiences with the movie as well as real-life encounters with arachnids.  How many bugs crawl into your mouth on average per year? What happened to Rog & Gene when they were naked camping in Northern Arizona? Who would pull the ticks out of Big D's butt when he was performing survival drills in the military? Discover the answers to these questions and more in a Shat The Movies recording that will make your skin crawl!
