Sorry not sorry for the clickbait title, and welcome to this week's edition of Tapes! Tapes! Tapes! Yes, before the mega-ultimate blockbuster string of films we know and love (or at least we all know), Marvel's Avengers, there was an British TV series called "The Avengers" from the 1960's.

How bad is it? How good is it? Give us a listen and fiiiind ouuuuttttt!!!

Welome to the Men In Blaaaack! (Men in blaaaack), help you to remem-berr-herrr!! We got another Willy Smith joint on the cast from 1997, with Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent D'Onofrio, and countless other amazing cameos and childhood wonder.

Hey kids!
Boy howdy, do the Tape-Daddies go down the double-nostalgia hole with 1995's The Brady Bunch Movie! At once a faithful recreation of the 70s classic TV show "The Brady Bunch" and an encapsulation of the grungey dungey 90s, will this film flop or flip? You decide! Well, we already decided, but you can like, check your opinion against ours and either feel ecstasy or deep dark depression. You choose during this episode of Tapes! Tapes! Tapes!
Love,
Tape-Daddies

Hello Spider-People!
We're taking this whole super-hero-saturation-situation back to the OLD SCHOOL with 2002's Spider-Man! This is an important super-hero film in the history of cinema, and might well be responsible for the main-stream shift towards super-hero acceptance! Are there enough hyphens in this great-bad description? Do-Tell!
Love,
Tape-Daddies!
Hi Roaches!

Dearest Tapees, Tapers, and Trappers!
If you're feelin' a little nippy, this is why! 1996's Kingpin is a unique buddy-comedy from the Farrelly brothers, but does it survive being thrown through our time continuum? The Tape Daddies are on a journey to find out! Also, please remember to floss... ugh...
Love and hugs,
Tape Daddies!
Hello Tapers!
Wow, it's been a long road to this episode, but we are FINALLY here! The real-world implications of this episode are sky-high, the pressure is cranked to eleven, and the salt levels are off the freaking charts. The infamous Super Mario Bros (The Movie) from 1993 is a hard beast to wrangle, but if anyone can, it's the Tape-Daddies! Also, a very special thank-you to one of our biggest fans McColley Wilk who makes an unprecedented cameo in this episode!

Hi buttery babies!
Your favorite Tape-Daddies are BACK after a short hiatus over the holidays, and what a movie to come back on. 1977's Wizards is truly a unique... film? Art-piece? Animated performance art? I don't know. Is it any good? You can find out if WE think so, but one thing's for sure. It deserves some space in the history of animaysh.
