The Upchuck Theater Podcast

Aaronsan and Robaru do Battle Royale!

In an off the cuff that becomes more like a full on episode (and to cover up the fact that Aaron has been slacking on the standard episodes),Aaron and Rob tackle Battle Royale, the 2000 Japanese classic that still turns head with its controversy. In a dystopian Japan, lawlessness by the youth is so out of control that the Battle Royale initiative is put into effect - a classroom of kids are dumped on an island... and kill each other.

With excellent acting including the legend Takeshi "Beat" Kitano, the extended director's cut adds 8 minutes to the story, and these are truly excellent choices. If you've seen the film, watch this new cut. If not, watch any which way you can.

Based on the novel, it also spawned a sequel and a manga series.

Rob also sounds off on Quentin Tarantino, and heads will roll, both in the film and in opinion.

Sucker Punch - Episode 12

Well it's taken a while but our official episodes are back. Our first official episode of the 2nd season sees us watch the utter garbage given to the world by Zack Snyder... Sucker Punch. A 'female empowerment' movie of Snyder's sexy party fantasies is a contender for worst overall film we've upchucked so far. With a performance by Oscar Issac and his two first names that's cringeworthy at best we got to a point where we needed to be... a little edited on this one.

Apparently there's a new thing out there called plot coupons... and remember don't write a check with your mouth you can't cash with your ass.

Featuring a guest review by our show's close friend Uwe Boll.

 

Don't Hang Up - With Aaron and Dustin Off the Cuff

With Rob on the sidelines recovering from a nasty cold and Aaron only able to tolerate Dustin for a short amount of time given the scope of his lies as exposed in the latest uploads, the duo tackles an utter pile of vomit in Don't Hang Up.

When 2 dude bros act like total jackholes and then pay for it by a ninja bent on revenge, you get a pile of garbage crammed into 90 minutes with a few good camera angles and a few ha ha moments.

This one really sucked. Come hate it with us!

Tuff Turf Pt II - Aaron Retorts!!!

 Game on Dustin...game on. Aaron expresses his own views and reveals the FACTS about Less than Zero, Dustin's lack of checking Wikipedia, and that Witness is the best film Harrison Ford has ever done.

 

What will he rate it? Listen and find out!!

 

Apologizes for some of my mouth breathing and raspy Kim Richards like voice I'm recovering from a cold. Rest assured the melodious tones will be back soon enough!

Dustin's Tuff Turf Off the Cuff - Part 1

Bringing you an awful off the cuff examination of the James Spader vomit vehicle of 1985, my birth year. What started out as an okay foray of entertainment on a Monday evening, turned into a roller coaster of utter nonsense accented through over the top character reactions and cliched plot devices. Stay for the soundtrack but skip the rest of the nonsense if you dare to watch. An afterword and open challenge is issued to Aaron to bring a retort episode on this trash. Will his love of Less Than Zero cloud his judgement? Will Dustin forgive anything less than a 4 on the vomitous scale for this? Tune in and find out! Please subscribe, review and let us know what you think!

Season 1 Finale - The 1st annual Chuckies

Well, we did it. We did a whole freaking season of this nonsense. Well sort of I mean we only started in July or August. We don't even remember when we started can you believe that? What kind of morons don't remember when they started doing something?

With this upload we bring to you the season 1 recap and finale. This episode runs a little longer, but we thought our jokes were funny so we let it go. We're already into season 2 recording wise and plan on keeping them coming.

We also bring in this episode the 1st ever Chuckies, our now annual awful awards. Who gets best actress in these piles? Find out inside!

As always PLEASE consider subscribing, leaving reviews, and sharing. These are the things that will give us the best shot of getting some exposure out there. We can't do it without you.

Thanks so much for listening, and stick with us in season 2!

Reindeer Games - Episode 10

Our last episodic session of Season 1 sees us with our first guest, Aaron's childhood friend Eric. He brings with him a doozy in Reindeer Games, a truly awful Ben Affleck vehicle that was the last film of John Franknheimer's directorial career - then he died. Also with repeat offender Charlize Theron (though she's actually not awful here) and Gary Sinese slumming with wampum safes and convicted felon Dana Stubblefield. This one is awful, but we're proud of it.

 

As always please review, please share, please subscribe! We've broken 500 downloads, here's to many many more! We appreciate your support. Please continue to show it.

 

Up next... the 1st ever Chuckies! And the end of Season 1!

Ghosts of Mars - Episode 9

Our 9th official episode features the absoulte nonsense that is John Caprenter's Ghosts of Mars. This one is especially painful given all three of us are massive Carpenter fans be it Assault on Precinct 13, The Thing, Escape from New York, They Live, and more. This one made Carpenter shun making a large film for a decade and with good reason...it's awful. There's nothing witty we can even say about it.

 

As always thanks for listening and please share, subscribe, and give us some feedback!

Bus Driver - Episode 8

On this official 8th installment... His job was to drive them. His mission is to save them. We bring you the most current film we've reviewed so far, Bus Driver (2016). When a ragtag bunch of misfit teenagers and their ridiculous track suited chaperone get in with the God Damned Bus Driver and things go sour, he's the only one to bring them home safely. Meth, flashbacks, shift sticks, and gun fu all play a part. You'll be a little surprised through this one. Let us know what you think!

 

As always please give us a like, a share, a review if you can. This is the stuff that helps us the most!  Thanks so much for listening. #makemoviesgreatagain.
