Twarnold Twinzenegger and Twinny DeVito play twins. One of them absconded with a German scientist to a remote Pacific island, but remained a virgin, while the other banged a nun.

From the vault: This episode comes from a deep dive into the 5GFA archives - similar to what Nic Cage does in the National Treasure movies and he was also in this movie from 1997 with longer hair and a lot more to prove.
How many blind swordsmen does it take to cut down an entire cornfield full of benchmen? Only Rutger Hauer knows for sure. He plays Nick Parker in this action movie that straddles the lines between 80s cheesiness and 90s complexity; between full on adventure and self-aware comedy; between Over The Top and Roadhouse. Also, he's blind?!
1995’s Tommy Boy is a nuanced and foreboding examination of the dying auto industry and the corresponding communities who depend on it, set against the challenges created by nepotism in a capitalist society and a sprinkle of managing adults with diminished capacity in the workplace. Chris Farley and David Spade’s performances buttress a film which 25 years later resonates as a warning sign we all missed but can still learn from.
In this 1993 Rowdy Harrington film Bruce Willis plays an aging cop with a knee brace and a drinking problem.

Love is in the air and by love I mean not really love. Have you ever wanted to go back to 2010? Well you’re in luck because Valentines Day can take you there!
John Travolta is definitely a stalker and he gets creepy and weird. Devon Sawa plays a very successful movie star (that HAD to hurt), Dora's dead, it might be raining, lots of sniffing stuff, and also this movie was written and directed by Fred Durst, so there’s that. The run time is like 90 min and we ended up talking about it for three and half hours. So much stuff. Enjoy!
Bradley Cooper stars (much to Mike's chagrin) in this 2021 movie about a man who gets addicted to pills when he bumps into his ex-brother in law on the street which makes him more smarterer. We discuss at length the famous Van Loon Van Luncheon and do our best Men In Black impersonations.
When the court tells Robin Williams he can’t see his kids, he does the logical thing and: disrupts his ex wife’s attempt to hire a nanny, dresses up like a 60 year old British woman, uses inside information to dupe his ex wife into hiring his alter ego as the nanny and tries to kill James Bond.
In this movie John C. Reilly plays a divorcee with a kid who can't act, John Hawkes is in love with Rusty Schwimmer, William Fitchner does his best McSullivan impression, Mark Whalburg can telepathically communicate with Diane Lane, George Clooney tries to bed Dr. Linda Greenlaw and prove he CAN in fact catch fish - and finally we know you don't care about Juan Pierre but he was also on the boat and he....dies.
