  • The Gen X Files 228 - For the Stepdads: June Doom IV
    2025/06/27

    Join your ol' stepdads as we discuss how close we actually were to June Doom, along with the awful, not bad, and disappointing movies from this month. We chat a little about movies, a lot of really good TV (Netflix is killing it), and if video game subscriptions are worth it.

  • The Gen X Files 227 - Nothing but Trouble
    2025/06/20

    Join us as we dive into one of the most disappointing movies ever made: Nothing but Trouble. With Chevy Chase phoning it in (again), Demi Moore seeming completely out of her depth, John Candy (successfully) playing two completely different twins, and Dan Aykroyd playing two characters (both in heavy makeup!), directing, writing on set, and producing, Nothing but Trouble is a hot mess. Add in really bad studio notes and you get one of the biggest flops in modern movie history.

  • The Gen X Files 226 - Hot to Trot
    2025/06/13

    Join us as we cover the greatest movie about a talking horse giving a loser stock tips: Hot to Trot! Surprisingly, this movie is way way better than we were expecting (which isn't saying much). It was the only starring vehicle for Bobcat Goldthwait, but also stars Dabney Coleman, Virginia Madsen, and John Candy!

    2025/06/06

    Welcome to June Doom IV, our annual tradition of covering disaster movies. This month, we're covering movies that were literal disasters! First up is Under the Rainbow, the best example of creative artists making every wrong choice. It's an absolute mess of a movie that suffers from the worst cinema sin: it's boring as hell. Listen to the podcast so that you don't have to watch it! Starring Chevy Chase, Carrie Fisher, Eve Arden, Billy Barty, Adam Arkin, and Mako!

  • The Gen X Files 223 - Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
    2025/05/23

    For their final film outing, the Pythons went back to their roots: a sketch show that's loosely connected, but now with a bigger budget and no censors to tell them their material is too risky. The Meaning of Life is the perfect endcap to an incredible 14-year run for Monty Python. Written and Starring John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, and Michael Palin.

  • The Gen X Files 222 - Monty Python's Life of Brian
    2025/05/16

    With the show behind them and plenty of time to focus on writing, the Pythons put together their most ambitious film yet: the story of the guy who lived next to Jesus. It's Monty Python's Life of Brian! The movie that was banned in a number of countries, yet is still considered to be one of the funniest films of all-time. Written by Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam, with directing duties from Terry Jones. It's the Pythons at their best.

Also, we do deep dives into the life and histories of John Cleese and Graham Chapman, who wrote together for decades.
