The Basement Vagrants Podcast: Recent Episodes
Matt Recker
A pop culture podcast for everyone. Based out of Windsor, ON. Recker, Bubs and Schweitzer talk about movies, tv, video games and whatever else that’s on our minds.
We recorded this over a week ago and I forgot what we talked about. Vince McMahon leaving WWE, something about Batwoman, comic books. I don't know. I remember it being a good one though so listen!
Schweitzer is in studio again for our Tomorrow Never Dies episode where we contemplate getting stabbed our ball chakras. Then Recker talks about the Cats remake and why it sucks more than most people realize. We also discuss the new Beavis and Butthead movie and do some trivia. Meeeeow!
Look at that, we're reviewing a new movie in theaters like it's 2017 or something. We talk about the smash flop The Northman as well as the super-indie (but super awesome) Hellbender. We also talk about a bunch of movie news including Wrestling biopics and a film outing for a 90s video game character. Then we cap it off with some very progressive trivia.
We bid farewell to Picard season 2 and to our last remaining hope of Star Trek ever being good again. Then we take a sneak peak at Season 3 because we hate ourselves and secretly enjoy pain. Seriously though, we're never talking about NuTrek again.
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP
OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP

Let the torture begin! It's been a long time coming and it's time for Recker to pay. Join us for a spirited runthrough of the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of Star Trek Picard. Then if you make it through that, we've got some good Trek to talk about as our discussion of the Deep Space Nine episode Defiant closes out the show. We apologize for the audio quality, we could not filter out the sound of Gene Roddenberry rolling around in his grave.
Put down the pill bottle and untie that noose, it's time for the Basement Vagrants Podcast! This episode Bubs and Recker review the semi-new movie keeping theaters on life support, The King's Man. Not to be confused with Kingsmen, Kingsmen The Golden Circle, All the King's Men, or King Ralph. We also predict what's going to happen on season 2 of Picard besides crippling pain and racism, and we try to see if we've heard of any of the Oscar nominees this year. It's 2022 and the slow march to oblivion continues... PODCASTING!
This is the one we've been waiting for! Our journey through Bond had brought us into the 90's and into the Brosnan era as we review 1995's Goldeneye.
Do movies still exist in the cursed year 2021? Because we haven't watched very many of them lately? So Bubs and Recker kicked Schweitzer to the curb and are talking about wrestling for a couple hours. We discuss the current state of the business, WWE firing half their roster, the pros and cons of AEW and talk about wrestling clichés that we'd like to see get future endeavored. Plus lots of trivia and pointless rambling. You don't want to miss it BROTHER!
It's the end of an era... or is it? For us it's another day rambling about movies. In this episode we review No Time to Die, the new Jimmy Bondington movie. Did we love it? Did we hate it? Does anyone read these descriptions? WHO KNOWS?! The important thing is you clicked on the episode so you might as well listen to it.
That's right, we're watching Bond again! We're finishing up our review of the entire James Bond series and the end of the Timothy Dalton era with 1989's License to Kill.
We're back baby, and we've got a Shatnerific movie to talk about. In this episode we review the hit new horror movie Devil's Revenge starring William Shatner and Jeri Ryan and we barely even reference Star Trek. We also go off on a bit of tangent near the end about the new James Bond trailer, but you will probably stop listening before then. Enjoy!
We continue our journey through the exciting world of James Bond as we review Timothy Dalton's first movie in the franchise, The Living Daylights. How does our innocent discussion about an 80s spy action movie turn into a fevered rant about rape and 9/11? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!!!
It's the episode that nobody asked for, and nobody wanted to do, but we did it for you! To celebrate everyone's favorite nonagenarian's birthday we took a look at the 1994 TV Movie William Shatner's TekWar and boy oh boy... it exists. Bubs also rants about the WWE network and how it's fated to die by the evil hand of NBC and we think back to the 90s to remember some long forgotten sci-fi shows in our trivia segment. It's our TekWar episode and all we have to say is we're sorry. We're really, really sorry.
Grab your Kleenex and prepare to cry, because we're delving into some deep emotional issues in a very special episode of The Basement Vagrants Podcast. We're examining some tv episodes from 70's sitcoms that tug at your heart strings and make you really think... or do they? We also discuss what we've been watching including Ash vs Evil Dead, The Expanse and Silence of the Lambs. Be sure to stick around until the end to test your knowledge of 70s TV moments.
It's 2021 and we're taking the podcast in a bold new direction: we're talking about Star Trek! In this episode we spend entirely too long talking about our favorite and least favorite episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation. We also discuss the dismal future of movie theaters, when we're going to be able to see No Time to Die and what the hell is happening with the WWE. New year, same old shit.
We say farewell to the original James Bond and America's favorite gameshow host, as well as discuss the state of movie theaters and the first two seasons of Star Trek The Next Generation
Bubs and Recker celebrate the sudden disappearance of Shweitzer by talking about Bill and Ted Face the Music, the most triumphant sequel which totally doesn't suck dude. Or does it? Listen to find out.
Our long journey through the James Bond franchise has brought us to the end of the Roger Moore era with 1985's A View to a Kill. Listen to us discuss such engaging and relevant topics such as Tanya Robert's acting ability, super-villain cuckoldry, 80s movie robots, and how old is too old to ski down a mountain shooting a machine gun?
In this episode we say shalom to a comedy legend, discuss the comic book industry including Scott Snyder's new series Dark Knights Death Metal and Recker reviews a forgotten movie from the 80s.
In this episode we try to take our minds off of the world by discussing the divisive Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode Melora.

It's just business as unusual, here at the Basement Vagrants Podcast.
Bring your appetites as we dig in to a strange yet interesting horror/thriller on Netflix called The Platform. We also have some trivia about the best and worst movies of all time, so this isn't one you'll want to miss.
It's episode 100 and we're celebrating by not even realizing it! It's business as usual, reviewing movies nobody cares about, this time talking about the "classic" 2000 film Ready to Rumble. It's the enchanting tale of two wrestling nerds, trying to save their favorite wrestler and the film trying to save the wrestling promotion at the same time (SPOILERS: It didn't). We also chat about the upcoming Sopranos movie and the online wrestling documentary series Dark Side of the Ring. Wash your hands and pull down your pants, it's the Basement Vagrants Podcast!
Wake up! It's 2 in the afternoon, you're in quarantine and have nothing to do. Why not listen to us? In this episode we talk about an episode of Star Trek Voyager, make many innappropriate jokes, discuss what TV shows deserve another season and say goodbye to a legendary voice of wrestling.
We pick up where we left off in our quest to review every James Bond movie. This time we're going to Greece to talk about Sir Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only. You're stuck inside on quarantine, you have no excuse not to listen this time!
Happy 2020, it's a new year of the Basement Vagrants Podcast (probably 5 episodes, tops). In this episode Recker talks about Doctor Sleep and how he has to amend his Best Of 2019 list. We discuss some of the Oscar winners and why we're all vegans now, and then finally what everyone loves to hear, 3 Star Trek nerds bitching about the new Picard series. WHAT FUN! You know you like it, don't play coy with me. As always, thanks for listening.
I know you are all dying to hear what our favorite movies of 2019 are. Even if you're not, who cares, we're going to tell you anyway. In our final episode of 2019 we go through our Top 10 (or 5) lists to rank the year in film. But wait, there's more! As a bonus, we think back over the last 10 years and rattle off our favorite movie for each year of the decade. Plus, we talk about the interesting new Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer and say goodbye to an old friend. Thanks for making it through another year with us.

We're back from a long hiatus and ready to talk about the new Tarentino foot fetish porno, er... film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. We also discuss our feelings on the new Picard trailer, the future of Marvel and a bunch of other films we've watched lately. We're not dead, we're the Basement Vagrants Podcast.
We're back! And we're average as ever, got a knack! For half assing effort. The Ring Crew are back for a reunion episode where we discuss where each of us have been, what we like and dislike in wrestling today and where the business is headed. It's a lively episode and we're pumped to be back behind the mic.
Schweitzer and Recker ditch Bubs on the side of the road to talk about some of the movie trailers that came out of the San Diego Comic Con this week, including Aquaman, Young Justice, Godzilla 2 and Titans.

We're back again with YET ANOTHER comic book movie. Holy hell can we watch anything else these days. Oh well, we make the most of it by watching Deadpool 2. Recker also checks out a semi-forgotten horror series from the 70s and 80s, Bubs talks about the hard rockin' Rock on the Range and Schweitzer talks about something to be honest I don't really remember. We've got a classic trivia game and lots of laughs, confused yelling and a celebrity guest star (Joe Piscopo was in the room but didn't say anything, trust me). Who thought we'd make it to 90 episodes huh? That's a whole lotta crap.
We're talking about the biggest movie of all time that's making more money than Donald Trump in a San Fransisco dunk tank. That's right, Rampage starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Naw, it's Avengers Infinity War. This is one of our longer discussions but we really touch on all the aspects here so be sure to listen all the way through
Schweitzer takes us through the Calgary Expo, we briefly chat about Free Comic Book day and we review HBO's new doccumentary on legendary wrestler Andre the Giant. All this plus trivia in episode 90. Don't skip this one kids.
Sick of unoriginal, pandering and mediocre movies in the teaters? So are we, but we still watched one. In this episode Recker talks about Ready Player One, then joins Bubs to discuss the brand new season of Trailer Park Boys. Schweitzer talks about the latest #Controversy in comic books and we all complain about Justice League. Doesn't that sound great kids!? No? Well then don't listen, nobody's forcing ya.
For our first episode of 2018 the boys discuss the latest Disney product for our collective consumption, Star Wars the Last Jedi. Recker bucks the trend and talks the new musical The Greatest Showman instead. Also on the itinerary are The X-Files, Game of Thrones, Star Trek (of course), the over politicization of award shows and hollywood in general and much more.
Snow has begun to fall, balls have begun to freeze and the Basement Vagrants are back on the mic. Time episode is full of comic book movie discussion including Thor Ragnarok and The Justice League. The boys mourn the death of John Dunsworth and Malcolm Young, talk about changing bosses at Marvel comics and lots more. 'Nuff said.
We're back just in time to watch the first new Star Trek series since the one we don't talk about. Will this one be as bad as The Series That Shall not Be Spoken Of? You'll have to listen and find out. We also talk about Disney and DC's new streaming services as well as the state of the medium in general. Bubs and Recker talk about concerts they've been to this summer, the IT remake and a bunch more. We've also got some killer Trek trivia so stick around until the end of the episode. It's good to be back, so open a channel, tell Wesley to shut up and join us for another episode of The Basement Vagrants Podcast.
Schweitzer is here! Well, he's always here, but I mean he's here in person! A rare in-studio appearance! Don't miss this one.
In this episode we go apeshit over the new Planet of the Apes movie! We also talk about DC's animated Batman movie (yes, another one) on Netflix called Batman Bad Blood.

We also continue our long hiatus'd Bond series and review the late, great Sir Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved me. That plus trivia all await you in this delactable piece of podcasting perfection.
Recker and Schweitzer sit down, reminisce and pay tribute to one of our favorite Bonds. The one and only absolute legend, Roger Moore.
The summer blockbusters are coming, and we're here to watch them and complain. Or not, as you may be surprised to hear. In this episode we talk glowingly about Guardians of the Galaxy 2 plus Bubs and Recker talk a little more about Trailer Park Boys season 10. We also discuss the future of Netflix, Star Trek Discovery's new trailer, plus we follow up on The Wheel fo Trek and talk about the Original Series episode Wolf in the Fold. No trivia this week, sorry everyone, but we'll be back again with more next time. Thanks for sticking with us.
Are podcasts still a thing? In the year of our lord 2017? I hope so because we're back and we've got a great review of the hit new moving picture show Logan. Bubs, Recker and Schweitzer give their opinions. Recker talks briefly about Trailer Park Boys season 11 (because Bubs hasn't seen it yet, the jerk) and Schweitzer lets us know about a new Batman animated movie coming up. We pull another Star Trek episode out of the wheelbag and play an old favorite for trivia. We may be gone, but we're not out. As long as there's movies and complaining, the Basement Vagrants will never die.
Hey everyone! Get your neck outta that noose and cheer up. It's 2017 and there's another episode of The Basement Vagrants Podcast! In episode 81 we go over 2016's movie offerings and determine if it's the best year for movies or the worst! (SPOILER IT'S THE WORST). We also look ahead to next year to see what we have to look forward to. Also, Schweitzer and Bubs review Star Wars Rogue One Featuring Dearth Vader and Reference, and Recker actually watched a movie he swore he'd never watch. We also have trivia and lots of pointless rambling, all your favorite things. Here's to 2017, it couldn't get any worse!
Baby it's cold outside, so snuggle up with Bubs, Recker and Schweitzer with episode 80. In this wonderful piece of podcasting we chat about some of the summer movies we missed including Star Trek Beyond and The Magnificent 7. We also talk about what we have to look forward to during Oscar season (not much) and the year in film in general.
After that Schweitzer and Recker talk about what's going on in comics including the fate of Blue Beatle, Ms Marvel's failed attempt at swaying the vote, Aquaman being awesome and more.
Bubs and Recker review Metallica's latest album Hardwired... to Self-Destruct and compare it to Megadeth's latest album Dystopia.
All this plus news, trivia and lots of general nonsense that you've come to expect from us.
Thanks for sticking with us!
The summer draws to a close and there still isn't much to see in the theater. Wait, what's this? A Tom Hanks movie? Alright, well how bad can it be? Find out as we review Sully, the movie about a plane disaster in New York that premiered the same week as September 11th. Great marketing.
We also take another look at Suicide Squad now that Recker and Bubs have seen it and see if it's worth a watch. Bubs talks about the Detroit LOSERS, uh I mean Tigers and how the 2016 baseball season has fared so far.
We also run down our lists of Best Movies of the Year (So Far) and partake in a little trivia. Strap in and make sure your tray tables are in their full and upright position as this podcast is about to CRASH (due to a few audio issues that we apologize for we're still working on a better setup please don't stop listening we need you XOXOXO)
Like a bad case of the herp, we have returned to ruin your sexual encounters. We discuss what has been keeping us away from the mic for so long and what we've been watching in the mean time. Schweitzer reviews Suicide Squad and then we all join in to talk Batman: Assault on Arkham and why one third of us hates it. We finally get around to talking about the Star Trek TOS episode Charlie X and Bubs recounts his latest trip across the border to see a heavy metal legend. We cap it off with some nice trivia and put a bow on another great episode.
We apologize for the inconsistent audio since our usual equipment is in the shop and we had to make due with Bubs' welfare laptop. So turn up the volume and enjoy!
We've left Bubs behind this time so Schweitzer and Recker can talk some comics. We discuss some new including a not-so-welcome romance in Batman: The Killing Joke as well as a remake of The Rocketeer. We discuss the Wonder Woman and Justice League trailers from Comic-Con as well as the current runs of Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman and more.
If there's one type of movies that EVERYBODY loves, it's video game movies. Does Warcraft fall into the same pit that Uwe Boll has been stuck in since 2002? Find out when we review the latest blockbuster this summer. We also have some news to talk about including yet another remake of an action franchise, starring a veteran action actor and how the boxoffice fared this weekend. Then we spin the wheel of Trek to find an episode to watch next week before talking about DC's first couple weeks after being reborn. Then to close out the show we take a few trivia quizzes online from Sporcle.com. Turn up your air conditioner and turn up The Basement Vagrants Podcast.
We're back to review another movie that's failing in theaters! No, not Xmen Apocalypse, we're talking about The Nice Guys starring Gladiator and Drive. Dubya joins us yet again to discuss early summer's big comedy and leave right in the middle of the show. Thanks pal! We also talk Rock on the Range and all the amazing (and not so amazing) bands that showed up. Plus Recker reviews some of his favorite movies on Bluray and we play a brand new trivia game. If you miss this episode, it sure wouldn't be... NICE... fuck my life...
We just couldn't wait until the next episode to bring you come comic book discussion. Schweitzer and Recker present this mini-episode where we talk about two of the more controversial comics of the day: DC Universe Rebirth and Steve Rogers Captain America #1. We discuss the issues, their futures and why people are so upset. Let us know what you think on our Facebook page or on Twitter (@vagrantspodcast). Thanks for listening!
Will a civil war be started on the Basement Vagrants Podcast? Find out which one of us didn't like the new Captain America movie was much as the rest. We review Marvel's latest plan for complete financial control of the world as well as our Mexican Movie Standoff films from last week (well, most of them). Recker and Schweitzer also talk about the final issue of the Batman/TMNT comic crossover and where DC goes from here. We also listen to some kickass music and play a whole new trivia game. We're 3/4 away from the big 100 where we're probably not going to do anything special because it's just an arbitrary number, but hurrah nonetheless. We hope you enjoy it!
We're about halfway through the James Bond movies and thing are getting silly. We talk about 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun, the only Bond movie with an odd number of nipples. Schweitzer regales us with stories from the Calgary Expo and tells us which celebrities he met and which ones now have restraining orders against him. We also discuss why the Batman: The Killing Joke trailer is just a tad disappointing, why Captain America: The Winter Soldier is better than we ever thought it would be and what other Marvel movie was a surprise hit for us recently. Be sure to stick around for trivia as we praise our God once more by playing the Leonard Maltin Movie Game. Oh, and Mexican Movie Standoff as well. It's a jam packed episode that you wont want to miss.
Ho-lee FACK boys, it's another Basement Vagrants and we're talking some TV this time. Well, not technically TV since they're both Netflix shows... but you CAN watch them on TV... I don't know, but we're discussing Trailer Park Boys season 10 and Daredevil season 2. Two very different shows but both very entertaining. Recker and Schweitzer also talk about what they've been reading in comics lately including one series that has hit the skids as of late. Plus we've got news including more Avatars and cell phone chicanery in theaters. All capped off with trivia and a new segment where we try to fix movies that are fundamentally broken. Grab a bottle of swish and some zesty mordant chips and settle into the shed for some great discussion.
Everyone has already complained about this Batman v Superman picture so we're throwing our complaining hats in the ring. Everyone hates it, but do we? You probably know the answer to that. Then after our voices heal Recker talks Tarentino and Godzilla (the two aren't related) and then top it all off with some great trivia. It's a shorter episode so you have no excuse not to listen.
We've got a super episode for you as we take a look back at the classic Superman franchise. Do they hold up? Which is the worst? Best? All these questions and more will be answered as we discuss the cinematic history of one of the greatest super heroes. Then, to atone for his lost in Trivia, Dubya reviews the Adam Sandler classic Pixels. Ooh boy. We've also got a brand new trivia game to try out so be sure to stick it out until the end. Our Batman vs Superman review is coming next week, but until then enjoy episode 71. It su.... oh did I already do the "super" pun? Shit... just listen alright.
Sickness and disease may have put us out of commission for a couple weeks, but nothing can kill The Basement Vagrants Podcast. We return with a vengeance and discuss the controversial trailer for the Ghostbusters remake, or sequel.... whatever it is. We briefly recap the Oscar winners and revel in our mutual apathy. Then, the meat of the show, Bubs and Recker review the new horror movie The Witch, then we delve into the 1973 classic Bond flick Live and Let Die. All this plus more discussion, jokes and trivia await you in episode 70 of The Basement Vagrants Podcast.
It's a split decision this week on The Basement Vagrants Podcast. Schweitzer will be reviewing Deadpool while Bubs and Recker will be reviewing Hail, Caesar! Dubya will be reviewing.... nothing. But we all share the pain of watching Diamonds are Forever, one of the, shall we say... lesser Bond films. After that Dubya and Recker catch up on some TV shows, we talk Megadeth's new album Dystopia and then take part in some personalized trivia, with dangerous consequences. Tee hee, it's episode 69 (despite what I say in the opening)
As we say goodbye to Abe "Tessio" Vigoda the guys rewatch the legendary Godfather Trilogy. We discuss the sublime filmmaking of part 1, the excruciatingly long but equally satisfying part 2 as well as the massively disappointing part 3. In news we roll our eyes at the newest batch of reboots and remakes to slither out of Hollywood and talk about the new Justice League cartoon that's got Schweitzer less than happy. We also review the Star Trek Original Series episode Balance of Terror and Dubya catches up on some great films from last year. It's an episode you can't refuse so what are you waiting for?
Bubs and Recker take a trip to the barren wasteland that is the cinema this week to check out the best that January horror has to offer with The Forest. We also take a look at the black sheep of the Bond movie franchise and talk about On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This plus the new Suicide Squad trailer and other news. Plus we see who has the best memory in trivia. You've got nothing to lose but 2 hours of your time. Lose it on The Basement Vagrants Podcast.
In this mini-episode of the podcast, Schweitzer take an hour out of their bleak, miserable existences to talk about a few Batman comics they're been reading lately. Never fear, a new FULL episode of the podcast is coming this weekend featuring a review of the "horror" movie The Forest as well as the forgotten sibling of the James Bond family, On Her Majesties Secret Service.
It's 2016 and you know what that means. It means we are legally required by podcast law to rank our best and worst movies of the year in list form. Join Bubs, Schweitzer, Recker and Dubya to see what we think is worth seeing this year, and what should be chucked in the bin. Plus we review Star Wars: The Force Awakens like every other person on the planet has already done 3 weeks ago. It was a great 2015 for the show and we hope it'll be an even better 2016. Thanks for all your support!
Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas. If you've been a good boy or girl then you're being rewarded with another episode of the podcast. If you've been naughty, then you're being punished with another episode of the podcast. Either way we're talking Trumbo, the movie that's going to be overshadowed by Star Trek faster than you can say "red scare". We also discuss the James Bond film You Only Live Twice and why it doesn't make any sense. Then we talk Christmas movies and share some holiday trivia. Get your milk and cookies and a pint of whiskey, it's the Basement Vagrants Podcast!
In honor of the release of Creed, we're strapping on the gloves and powering through all the Rocky movies. We're breaking everything down, from the spectacular original Rocky, to the ludicrous Rocky 3 and 4, finishing with the amazingly redeeming Rocky Balboa. We also review Creed and take on some Rocky trivia. This is a 3 hour episode so prepare to watch it in shifts or prepare to get punchy.
We're taking a trip through time in the newest episode of the Basement Vagrants Podcast. We go back to the 1950s to watch Tom Hanks save the world from communism in Bridge of Spies. Then we're jumping ahead a little to the 1960s to follow the increasingly morally questionable exploits of James Bond in Thunderball. Finally we're stopping by the mid 80s as Recker talks about a movie that is thought to be one of the worst ever made. Is it? Find out on episode 63 of The Basement Vagrants Podcast.
It's the once we've all been waiting for. The biggest movie of the year. Not Star Wars, Spectre! We go so far in-depth into this movie we counted the number hairs on Daniel Craig's upper lip (876). After our hour long discussing Recker subjects the boys to the new Warcraft trailer and we discuss the good and the bad sides of a new Star Trek series. Plus some amazing James Bond trivia, here on The Basement Vagrants Podcast, episode 62!
I swear to god the next time Matt Damon gets stranded somewhere we should just leave him. In this episode the boys discuss Ridley Scott's The Martian (and it just may be someone's favorite movie of the year). We also whine about more comic book based tv shows coming soon and why too much hype for Star Wars is a bad thing. We also continue our Bondiful journey and talk about the 1964 classic Goldfinger. Then in trivia we see just how many movies this year Schweitzer and Bubs can remember. Don't forget, we're here forever, it's The Basement Vagrants Podcast.
It's the diamond anniversary of The Basement Vagrants. Can you believe it, 60 episodes of 3 idiots talking about nothing, and you listened to it. Who's the real fool? In this installment we ditch Schweitzer and pick up our music correspondent Paul to help us talk about the new Iron Maiden album as well as the new Pink Floyd concert movie Roger Waters The Wall. Then once the LSD has worn off Bubs and I discuss the new horror movie from Eli Roth, The Green Inferno. We also talk about some news including why Deep Purple isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet and how much Ghostbusters is too much. Sound good? No? Well stick around for trivia as we debut our new game Spot The Song, sponsored by Spotify (not really). It's the Basement Vagrants Podcast and we'll never stop, no matter how many cease and desists we get. Thanks Obama.
Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us 8 times, shame on us. This week we learn our lesson on why giving too many second chances isn't a good thing as we subject ourselves to the new M. Night Shyamalan movie The Visit. We also take a trip back to 1963 and review From Russia With Love. Plus in news, a former Star Trek cast member has a freakout, Batman's creators get new recognition and your grandpa's favorite cub reporter passes on. All this plus trivia and lots of complaining, what else do you expect? it's the Basement Vagrants.
Seeing as there isn't anything in theaters this week worth seeing we decided to take a look into the past at one of cinema's longest running series, James Bond. We review Dr No, which is a first time watch for Bubs, and find some interesting things in the 1962 classic. We also conclude this month's Wheel of Trek as we talk about the Deep Space Nine episode "Who Mourns for Morn." Plus in the news the summer movie season is breaking the bank, we get some behind the scenes opinions at the most hated and beloved man in the world, George Lucas, and more video game movies are on their way? All this plus a spirited round of movie trivia, don't miss it.
Like that mysterious growth on the back of your knee that you swear you got removed 6 months ago, we're back. This time Bubs and Recker try to review Straight Outta Compton without offending anyone. The boys talk discuss whether they're tired of comic book movies or not and then geek out on some Simpsons/Star Treck trivia. If you've ever felt like you were the lamest, whitest, geekiest loser this side of a wedgie, get a lot of these guys. Thanks for listening and as always find us on Twitter at @vagrantspodcast.
Oh boy do we have a jam packed episode for you this week. We managed to resist suicide while watching Fantastic Four so we're here to tell you just how much it sucked (spoiler: a lot). We also try to articulate why we all hate Wet Hot American Summer, what Jon Stewart is going to do after The Daily Show and is one of the most racist movies of all time really that bad? All this and more on The Ring C.. I mean Basement Vagrants Podcast.
This week we give Bubs a break so Schweitzer and Recker can discuss what they've been reading in the world of comics lately. Schweitzer is feeling the force and Recker is feeling stomache pains and headaches as he reads what may be the worst comic book of all time.
This week the boys get a little punchy while reviewing Anton Fuqua's Southpaw. We speculate on what upcoming film may burst the comic book movie bubble and bash on Adam Sandler a little, just for good measure. All this and more, capped off by a great round of TV trivia. It's the Basement Vagrants podcast, your source for inane chatter and Simpsons references.
We're halfway through summer now and most people are relaxing on the beach, riding their bikes, laughing and having fun outdoors. Screw that, we're in the dark movie theater every week. Outside will always be there but movies only premiere once. This week we tear Ant-Man down to size and give you our uncensored opinions. We also talk M. Night Shyamalan, Goonies and ask ourselves "Do kids even watch TV anymore?". All that plus music, shouting and trivia. It's all here on The Basement Vagrants Podcast. Listen, or die... eventually. I mean we all die eventually. Whatever, forget I said anything.
Calling all Bond fans. Schweitzer and I are taking some time out of our busy schedules to talk about one of the more forgotten James Bond films, Quantum of Solace.
