242 – Scream
The Dudes are red herrings (or are they the killers?) in 1996’s Scream. This meta examination of slasher tropes breathed new life into a tired genre, but also did movie posters no favors. Killer garage doors, works cited pages, and Matthew Lillard combine to make one hell of an experience. Get ready for one last… Read more

241 – The Shining
The Dudes should know Sir…they’ve always been here, with 1980’s The Shining, Stanley Kubrick’s masterful adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. Ten year-old Dave’s fragile, eggshell mind couldn’t handle the dread accompanying Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall’s incredible acting. Luckily, he grew up, and he and Scott get to break it all down right in the… Read more

190 – The Invisible Man (1931)
The Dudes unleash a terrible power on the world with 1933’s The Invisible Man. While James Whale’s adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic is a masterclass of practical special effects, it also ponders evil while being hilarious.

189 – The Return of the Living Dead
The Dudes attempt to fit in with both old guys and every teen subculture with 1985’s zombie classic The Return of the Living Dead.

The Dudes’ fear of rich people is proven completely justified with 1989’s Society. Like El Guapo, this film is not just famous, it’s IN-famous, mainly due to its unforgettable final act that will leave you wishing you’d never investigated the taste of The Shunt. It’s Halloween everybody, let’s get repulsive! Other movies discussed: Mad God… Read more
