• Episode 29: The Fanatic and Bottom 5 Obsessions
    2024/06/09

    Jay pummels Mike with the most painful cinematic weapon he's deployed yet: the 2019, Fred Durst written-and-directed disaster, "The Fanatic." A slog of a thriller that finds John Travolta playing an autistic man named Moose who is obsessed with a mid-tier celebrity, the guys try to understand why this thing even got made and discover... a Red Box connection? After reacting to Durst's direction and Travolta's haircut, they next count down their bottom five obsessions from movies and then play one of the most random games of Kick-Two, Pick-Two ever. where two of the four titles currently "Back at the Kiosk" at Red Boxes nation-wide get tossed into the Forbidden Zone, never to be seen again. Long live physical media (except those two!)

  • Episode 28: The Room (2003) and Bottom 5 Choices
    2024/05/26

    Well, it's happened. The listeners have spoken and for Filmjitsu's first "Sophie's Choice" poll of its modern era, the winner - which Jay had to watch and review - was Tommy Wiseau's 2003 so-bad-it's-good cult-classic, "The Room." The victor "tore apart" John Travolta's "Battlefield Earth" in its head-to-head match-up, but the bigger question is, will the guys be able to say anything that hasn't already been said about this sex-scene-filled, football-in-tuxedos, jogging-in-San-Fran affair? They try, and then follow-up the main review with their list of bottom five choices, which occur both inside and outside the world of their movies, before playing a challenging "cult-classics" edition of Kick Two, Pick Two. Be sure to keep an ear out for Jay's shocking revelation about the birth of his first son, which either left Mike impressed or deeply disturbed!

  • Episode 27: Mamma Mia! and Bottom 5 Cringe Moments
    2024/05/12

    In celebration of Mother's Day, Mike and Jay launch into a full-on, earnest review of the 2008 jukebox musical "Mamma Mia!" With a star-studded cast that includes Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski and Dame Julie Walters - as well as a few dudes with the last names Firth, Skarsgard and Brosnan - the movie concerns a bride-to-be on the eve of her wedding in a stunning Greek archipelago who invites three men to her wedding, one of whom is likely her father. Hijinx ensue, all set, for reasons unknown, to toe-tapping pop classics by the Swedish super-ground, ABBA, and if you're not "having the time of your life" by the end, in the words of Mike, you may be "a f--king ghoul." After recounting the joys (and a few pains - sorry, Pierce) of "Mamma Mia!" the guys list off their Bottom Five Cringe Moments in cinema, dedicated to movie moments of vicarious embarrassment, and then play a musically-inspired game of Kick Two, Pick Two!

  • Episode 26: Men and Bottom 5 Transformations
    2024/04/28

    Tonight... on a very special episode of Filmjitsu, the guys grapple with their roles in the patriarchy after being exposed to the dangers of Alex Garland's largely-acclaimed 2022 gross-out think-piece, "Men." Will Jay ever be the same? Will Mike? Fortunately, these two clowns somehow are avowed feminists so... yeah, they might get down with the messaging of the film, even while suppressing urges to barf. They follow their wide-ranging, likely way-too-serious discussion with a sloppy and gross chat about their bottom five transformations before playing an equally moist game of Kick Two, Pick Two: Body Horror edition. MOIST. Ugh. What. A. Word.

  • Episode 25: King Kong (1976) and Bottom 5 Dangerous Animals
    2024/04/14

    While the MonsterVerse has brought Kong back to movie screens, never was the big ape been quite as... horny... as he was in 1976's "King Kong!" And who could blame him because, well, Jessica Lange in her film debut is, as Mike puts it, "a smokeshow." But was Mike able to find anything else to like in this Dino De Laurentiis-produced big-budget epic rife with bad, yet-somehow-Oscar-winning, special effects? Or is this episode just Jay cackling whilst drinking Mike's tears, shed at the feet of another of Mike's favorite actors - Jeff Bridges - as he makes a terrible cinematic decision. Either way, the guys follow the main review by recounting their lists of Bottom Five Dangerous Animals before playing a King-flavored game of Kick Two, Pick Two.

  • Episode 24: Repo! The Genetic Opera and Bottom Five Musical Numbers
    2024/03/31

    Leave it to the guys at FIlmjitsu to celebrate Easter and the renewal of Spring by reviewing a movie about organ harvesting! Having nothing to do with bunnies, eggs, baskets, or certainly anything that Jesus Christ would have died for, 2008's "Repo! The Genetic Opera" is a cinematic weapon that delivers more pain than crucifixion! As Mike cackles at the horror wrought, Jay attempts to limit the number of expletives to describe this musical from the "Saw" franchise's MVP, Darren Lynn Bousman, but likely fails. The guys then recount their Bottom Five Musical Numbers which include entries as varied as "The Jazz Singer," "Lady and the Tramp," "The Room" and... something from the "Star Wars" universe? If that's not enough, the guys play a musically-themed game of Kick Two, Pick Two that proves to be surprisingly challenging.

  • Episode 23: The Disappointments Room and Bottom 5 Rooms
    2024/03/17

    Despite an 86-minute run-time, the Rotten Tomatoes 0% fresh-rated "The Disappointments Room" took so long for Mike to watch that we're pretty sure he's still locked in his own hidden loft where the only way out is to find one redeeming thing to say about the Kate Beckinsale-starring mystery-thriller. Meanwhile, Jay provides color-commentary on the career of director D.J. Caruso before the guys get into their bottom five rooms in movies, a concept that may seem less creative than it actually is, considering the directions they take their picks. After that, they keep with the theme of disappointments with a reverse game of Kick Two, Pick Two that forces the guys to choose two movies to keep out of four, all of which they'd love to send to the phantom zone so they could never be seen again!

  • Episode 22: Hardcore Henry and Bottom 5 Birthdays
    2024/03/03

    Ever wonder what it's like to be the protagonist in a relentless, balls-to-the-wall action flick? Jay never did either! But Mike decided to make him watch "Hardcore Henry" anyhow. How did this 2015 low-budget first-person POV feature from director Ilya Naishuller ("Nobody") fare on review? Jay recounts plenty of blood, gore and exhaustion before the guys move on to their lists of Bottom Five Birthdays from movies because in "Harcore Henry," the protagonist... oh never mind. This episode's Bottom Five has nothing to do with the main review and instead everything to do with Mike who celebrates a birthday on the day of this episode's release! And if that weren't random enough, stick around as the guys play a round of Kick Two, Pick Two that's neither related to "HH" or Mike's birthday, but which may invoke a little deja-vu for frequent listeners.
