Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 76)
29/10/2019 Duration: 01h49min[[:encoded, "The Manitou is an exorcist-type deal, but it isn't Christianity but Native American based, as portrayed by a number of actors who can't ever run for office. Jason and Todd spend the running time talking about Tony Curtis's weird hair, current B-movies Todd liked, and weird space alien movies where the alien is all rapey. No politics!"]]

26/09/2019 Duration: 02h02min[[:encoded, "Uninvited is a movie about a killer orange cat on a yacht with a confused George Kennedy. Jason loves this movie, as chosen by Todd, but that does not deter either of them from talking about impeachment, whining stand-up comics, and getting in car fights during drug deals gone bad. It's all you even wanted in a two hour podcast!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 74)
20/08/2019 Duration: 02h03min[[:encoded, "8 Million Ways To Die is an eighties movie about an alcoholic cop played by Jeff Bridges, who has to deal with both Andy Garcia and the luminous Rosanna Arquette, but nowhere near 8 million possible deaths. Jason and Todd of course talk about alcoholic cop movies and try to construct a perfect triple feature, then talk about how genuinely horrible it is that Harvey Weinstein took such great performers like Arquette from our screens, and even more of course, killer cat movies. Rock out with this one, babies!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 73)
26/07/2019 Duration: 01h45min[[:encoded, "1990: The Bronx Warriors is a spaghetti hybrid of Mad Max and The Warriors, has an angry Fred Williamson, and tons of crazy action. Jason and Todd take it all in while talking impeachment hearings, an old John Cusack movie, and the how one might handle being smarter than everyone else. Italy!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 72)
24/06/2019 Duration: 01h40min[[:encoded, "Who? is not just a question, but also a movie. It stars Elliott Gould and a tinker tin man potential soldier spy. Most of it takes place in boardrooms. Or bored rooms? Anyway, it's perfect for Jason and Todd, because they love talking, whether it be in boardrooms or lounging on the daybed in Todd's office. It must be summertime! Anyway, mostly they talk about Us and old sketch comedy movies."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 71)
31/05/2019 Duration: 01h46min[[:encoded, "The Seventh Son is a movie about the seventh son of a seventh son, we guess, but it's really hard to understand a word Jeff Bridges is saying. Words you can understand are supplied by Jason and Todd, who talk about other bad movies that'd rather be watching and what an actual alien invasion would do to the political divide in the United States. Also, they talk about their weight."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 70)
12/04/2019 Duration: 01h52min[[:encoded, "Moonfire is a movie that at first seems to be about an astronaut who crashes his capsule on the Mexican ranch of a nazi living in hiding, but then it is really mostly about Charles Napier driving a big rig with no shirt on. Jason and Todd touch on the greatness of Napier, the genius of Andy Robinson who is not in this movie, and also the problem with shrinks who come from overseas to save America. Trucks!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 69)
20/03/2019 Duration: 01h58min[[:encoded, "Gender Bender is a gross-out comedy made by professional stand-up comics about the horrors faced by a group of men who wake up with vaginas. This one particularly gets under Jason's skin and he vows revenge, but still he feels guilty about not supporting Todd's career. Todd's plumbing is all messed up, so he is too numb with house owner consumer debt to feel anything. Stay until the end to hear what the boys think of the Netflix movie for boys called Triple Frontier. Oh yeah, and Jason literally screams because of a scene with Gilbert Gottfried in the movie. Good luck!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 68))
25/01/2019 Duration: 01h57min[[:encoded, "Cop is a movie with everyone's favorite right wingnut James Woods and it is grizzly and gross. Jason and Todd of course talk about the star's odd look, get distracted by Los Angeles locations, and try to figure out what the hell they're going to do if Trump gets his stupid wall. Happy New Year!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 67)
19/12/2018 Duration: 01h51min[[:encoded, "Wild Things is an exploitative Floridian thriller about Matt Dillon committing sex crimes. Jason and Todd talk about real sex crimes, alligators, and play a fun new game called, \"What would you do?\" Also, they spread love and holiday cheer."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 66)
26/11/2018 Duration: 02h02min[[:encoded, "Performance is a weird movie directed by a recently dead guy about a gangster who switches places with Mick Jagger because he needs to know how much better it is to be a rock star than a gangster. One good example of that is that you don't have to pay for sex. Also, it doesn't matter because Jason and Todd don't call each other names this time, but instead spend a large portion of the recording exchanging odd sex stories, in Jason's case mostly involving anal sex. Because he's half-queer, maybe, sometimes. Nobody really understands."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 66)
26/11/2018 Duration: 02h02min[[:encoded, "Performance is a weird movie made by a recently dead guy about an abhorrent gangster switching places with Mick Jagger, thus reinforcing the idea that it is always better to be Mick Jagger. Luckily, this doesn't lead Jason and Todd to start calling each other names because of politics, but instead leads to the boys exchanging weird, mostly anally oriented, sex stories. Also, they both seem to be mostly on the same page about Trump."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 65)
26/10/2018 Duration: 01h33min[[:encoded, "Rolling Vengeance is a movie about a guy who gets revenge against a bunch of nazis led by Ned Beatty with a monster truck that looks like a giant toaster on wheels. Doesn't matter, though, because Jason and Todd have to get in their biggest fight to date, complete with petty name calling from both sides, about the state of current politics. If this doesn't exemplify what is wrong with the left, nothing does."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 64)
09/10/2018 Duration: 01h30min[[:encoded, "The Suckling is a movie about an aborted fetus that comes back from being flushed into the sewers to get revenge. Also, it takes place in a brothel. It's awful, but who cares, Jason and Todd have to talk about politics."]]
-
Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 63)
29/08/2018 Duration: 01h19min[[:encoded, "The Last Resort is an oddly star-studded low budget eighties exploitation-ish sex comedy starring Charles Grodin. But who cares about that, can you believe this episode came out right after that last one? I mean, within minutes! Damn, Jason and Todd have come roaring back like a bad case of hemorrhoids."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 62)
29/08/2018 Duration: 01h22min[[:encoded, "Humanoids from the deep is a reprehensible movie about gross mutated fish men attacking a town and getting all rapey. Yuck, man. Anyway, Jason and Todd are back to talk through this piece of shit in the first part of a same-day, two episode double feature release featuring Roger Corman productions which we swear we totally planned on purpose. Was that a run-on sentence? It was, wasn't it?"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 61)
29/06/2018 Duration: 01h34min[[:encoded, "Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf is everything you could want in a movie sequel that jettisons the satire of the original to make room for plenty of soft core porn action. Doesn't matter at all, though, because Jason and Todd don't have lycanthrope sisters and have many other things to talk about, and Jason has to read a disturbing story by Todd's kid. Happy summer."]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 60)
25/05/2018 Duration: 01h40min[[:encoded, "Wolf Guy is an old movie from a land far, far away that has a bunch of naked ladies, gore, and Sonny Chiba. Todd can't keep up with Jason's selection this episode because there really is too much talking to do while trying to read subtitles, but no matter. Politics, Ridley Scott movies, and weird stories abound, so the movie doesn't make a damn bit of difference."]]

26/04/2018 Duration: 01h33min[[:encoded, "The Baby is a weird and creepy exploitation movie with no actual babies in it, but it does have some toddlers with Downs Syndrome. This particular entry was brought to Jason and Todd by special guest Steve Skelton, who graces the podcast with a special story about Van Damme and Roger Moore. Jason talks about Stargate. Todd just sits there. Enjoy!"]]

Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films (Episode 58)
31/03/2018 Duration: 01h39min[[:encoded, "Shark Night is a movie about river sharks and snuff films. Jason doesn't care for it, Todd thinks it's delightful, and this of course leads to debates about politics, racism, sexism, and a whole litany of things that these two old jackasses have no business discussing. You put on a bad movie about sharks, and this is the kind of armchair politics you are asking for!"]]
