Thunderball 1:36:06

4d ago1:36:06

1:36:06

Mission number 4 with 007 is this week and after Goldfinger, this had a tough act to follow but James has a jetpack this time...That's used in one scene. There is a lot of action though...Underwater. Well, let's give it a shot anyway. It was also WrestleMania weekend, so we got hype for a minute, yes even Anita too. Anita also can't wait for nanoma…

Showgirls (Patreon Pick #71) 1:55:27

11d ago1:55:27

1:55:27

Well, this day had to come eventually. None of us have ever seen Showgirls and i've heard nothing but bad things. I went into it with an open mind and was shocked by what I ended up seeing. Why? Well, just hit that play button and find out. Andrew is on the mic with us this week for his birthday and I guess this was Steve's gift to him. He shares s…

Goldfinger 1:48:09

18d ago1:48:09

1:48:09

It's been too long since the last Bond film, it's time to change that and this is considered by most to be one of the best ones in the entire series. Admittedly, I loved this one a a kid but didn't know what the hell was going on with the plot, hopefully looking at it now as a 34-year-old, it will make more sense. Also in this episode, Anita has is…

Alien Resurrection 1:57:44

25d ago1:57:44

1:57:44

Anita has been impatiently waiting for us to get back to the Alien series and we're finally finishing up the original Quadrilogy this week. This is a first time watch for Chris as well and many questions were asked and I even noticed a few things, I never thought about before with this film. "Why didn't they know about the acid blood?" "Why did the…

Get Out 2:06:10

1M ago2:06:10

2:06:10

It's the final week of the Black History Month Marathon for 2025 and to wrap it up, Chris wanted to watch a certified classic of modern filmmaking. Even better, Chris has never seen this before. Even better still, Cameron was able to join us again this week and even better than that, the audio is back to normal this week. The film of course gave us…

How High (Patreon Pick #70 from Daniel Boon) 1:33:25

1M ago1:33:25

1:33:25

At the start, I have to apologize for the audio. Anita and I went back to Ohio for a wedding and we had to get this episode in when we could and the mics were not showing us any love. On a brighter note, Cameron and Andrew were able to join us today and help us discuss a favorite movie from my childhood, How High! We discuss our favorite Wu-Tang Cl…

Beverly Hills Cop 1:39:31

2M ago1:39:31

1:39:31

First it was PJ, now it's Chris and Anita because yes folks, they have never seen Beverly Hills Cop before! This needed to be rectified immediately and what better time than during the Black History Month Marathon! It's been a while since I've watched it and I definitely caught some things during this viewing that I never thought about before. We a…

1
Purple Rain (Patreon Pick #69 from Markellus) 1:55:45

2M ago1:55:45

1:55:45

The Black History Month Marathon ain't over! Thanks to Markellus from So Wizard Podcast, the three of us finally get to check off a big one. Yes folks, none of us had ever watched Purple Rain before this but we were all familiar with that album. Chris has been dreading this day, but Anita and I were looking forward to it. We review each song as it …

1
Posse (1993) 1:36:46

2M ago1:36:46

1:36:46

It's time to wrap up the first month of The Black History Month Marathon and I wanted to show Chris some love and watch something a bit less depressing this time. So, we are going to shed some light on a posse of Black cowboys and neither of us have ever seen this film before. There are a ton of Westerns but not a lot that tell these stories, so it…

1
The Woman King 1:41:53

2M ago1:41:53

1:41:53

I wanted to give the ladies some shine during the BHM Marathon, so Anita picked the movie this week and she has been wanting to talk about it on the show for a while now. Chris and I had never watched this before the episode but I heard nothing but good things. Well, until I checked out the Wikipedia page at the end of the episode. I actually got A…

1
Rosewood 1:55:14

2M ago1:55:14

1:55:14

You know, them trying to erase and cover up our history is nothing new right? Back in 1923, the town of Rosewood, which was a predominantly Black town was burned to the ground and many of its inhabitants killed because of one person's lie and hatred. It was swept under the rug for decades until someone finally told the story and in 1997, John Singl…

1
Malcolm X (1992) 2:29:59

3M ago2:29:59

2:29:59

It's my favorite time of the year for the podcast, yes, the Black History Month marathon begins this week and will run from now and into March and for the Month of February, I had an idea. Since there is a subset of people who want to try and erase, bury and withhold our history from the public, all month we are watching Black films, by Black direc…

1
Goodfellas (Patreon Pick #68 from Mike Bagford) 2:10:33

3M ago2:10:33

2:10:33

The Homie Mike Bagford is back for the second week in a row and this time he brings along his Patreon pick! Thanks to him, Chris and Anita get to see Goodfellas for the very first time! The movie gave us a lot to talk about, so the tangents are minimal, but the conversation was still fun. We laugh at bad acting, the Halle Berry Catwoman movie comes…

1
Twisted Pair (Patreon Pick #67 from So Wizard Podcast) 1:35:02

3M ago1:35:02

1:35:02

F--K YOU JOEY! Those words will be uttered again because Joey has used his Patreon pick to inflict damage to my co-hosts. I am not new to the world of Neil Breen but Anita and Chris are about to be caught terribly off guard this week. For some reason, the homie Mike Bagford really wanted to be here for this episode, so he is here as well and hopefu…

1
Disturbing Behavior (Patreon Pick #66 from What Were They Thinking?! Podcast) 1:41:16

3M ago1:41:16

1:41:16

This week's Patreon Pick is an import from our homies over in Canada, Brendan and Nathan! I can honestly say that, if not for them, none of us would probably have ever watched this movie and it would've stayed a foggy memory in my mind from digging through video store discount bins back in the day. Could there be a glimmer of hope, is this a diamon…

1
The Mummy (1999) [Patreon Pick #65 from Chris] 1:44:22

4M ago1:44:22

1:44:22

Chris has been gunning for this movie to be on the podcast for a long time now, so much so that he made it his Patreon pick. This is actually only my second time seeing The Mummy! Anita and Chris are super fans though and will probably be mad if I say it sucks. I do remember liking this film though, so let's see if it holds up this time around. Sup…

1
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (PJ's Never Seen) 2:18:57

4M ago2:18:57

2:18:57

Happy New Year! Back in October when PJ came to visit, we recorded a secret episode that I was holding onto. I figured, what would be a better way to bring in the New Year, than with PJ and I together again and talking about a series that he has no love for, "Star Wars!" We finally made it to the Disney era films and PJ has had hope that he may fin…

1
The Shining (1980) 1:56:14

4M ago1:56:14

1:56:14

It's the last episode of 2024 and the end of the Holiday Hustle! Anita had just finished reading The Shining novel and neither her nor Chris have ever seen the film. Yeah, its not a "Christmas" movie but there's snow, it's winter, it's fine. This is one of my favorite horror films of all time but I have to see what they think about it. We hope you …

1
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [Brent's Never Seen] 1:37:10

4M ago1:37:10

1:37:10

Happy Holidays to all and to all, a movie that none of the three of us have seen before! A huge gap in our Christmas and overall film viewing, will be filled today. Anita is not the biggest fan of comedy films, but she loves that holly jolly, so can it win her over? Another surprise, Chris is actually in on the mic with us, as he was in town to cel…

1
Last Holiday (2006) 1:50:43

5M ago1:50:43

1:50:43

It's a Christmas miracle; PJ is back with us this week! Anita really wanted to watch Last Holiday and PJ agreed. Chris and I have never seen it before, and Anita is hoping our inner Grinch doesn't come out! PJ and I also give our thoughts on the new Kendrick Lamarr album, "GNX," we discuss what we would do if we found out we only had one month to l…

1
Lethal Weapon 1:34:52

5M ago1:34:52

1:34:52

The Christmas Hustle begins this week and i'm just going to get a movie in for myself early. Yeah, it may not be traditionally holly and jolly but it made me smile! Chris and Anita have never seen it and it's my first time watching it since I was a kid. It didn't really leave an impression on me back then but all these years later, maybe it can now…

1
The Substance 1:32:22

5M ago1:32:22

1:32:22

Let's end the Halloween Hustle for 2024 with some new hotness! I was scrolling through social media a few months back kept seeing people talk about this movie called "The Substance." I would hear the terms "body horror" and "instant classic" thrown around and then I heard comparisons to movies I love and so, it had to be watched. Chris had heard no…

1
Night of the Living Dead (1990) 1:12:26

5M ago1:12:26

1:12:26

Unfortunately, we lost Tony Todd recently, so I figured we should show him some love by watching a film of his that I really don't see get discussed very often. Remakes get a bad rep and if im being honest, it's deserved a lot of the time, but I saw this film only once before and thought it was cool. Chris has never seen it before, so this was a fu…

1
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later 1:06:22

5M ago1:06:22

1:06:22

Cameron makes his way back onto the podcast this week and he's actually the reason we watched Halloween H20. It was playing during a Halloween marathon and he had a lot of thoughts about it. As kids, we watched it and both agreed that it was more entertaining than the original! We're both grown men, more sophisticated i'd hope, so it's time to revi…

1
Smile (2022) 1:31:37

6M ago1:31:37

1:31:37

Oh yeah, the Halloween Hustle hasn't stopped! We continue on into November with another film, like Possessor, that I always wanted to watch but just never got around to. With the sequel in theaters now, I figured this would be as good a time as any. Smile has a lot more going on than I expected, and it gave Chris and I a lot to talk about. We still…

1
Demons [1985] (Patreon Pick #64 from Reneco Rivers) 1:32:35

6M ago1:32:35

1:32:35

The Halloween Hustle continues on into November! Our Patron Reneco wanted us to check out Lamberto Bava's "Demons!" I've actually seen this before thanks to Joe Bob Briggs but this is a first time watch for Chris. There isn't much plot to discuss with this film so we discuss the practical effects, the crazy layout of the movie theater, the terrible…

1
Possessor (Patreon Pick #63 from Jerika L.) 1:37:28

6M ago1:37:28

1:37:28

Much love to our Patron Jerika! She contributes to the Halloween Hustle this week and she has Chris and I getting into a few debates about this film. Possessor has been on my radar for a long time and I was very curious to see what the son of David Cronenberg would be able to do in the same landscape his father became a master in. The bodies get do…

1
Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (Ft. Trade Voorhees) 1:45:42

6M ago1:45:42

1:45:42

It wouldn't be a Halloween Hustle without a Friday the 13th film and the homie Trade Voorhees is back to once again, lend us his horror knowledge. We were hype to get to this film because Trade had some strong thoughts about it, just not the ones you may be thinking. Did it just get too much hate at the time like Halloween III did or was this reall…

1
Salem's Lot [2024] 1:49:28

7M ago1:49:28

1:49:28

A new Stephen King flick just dropped on Max and I figured it would be fun because neither Chris, nor I have ever seen any version of Salem's Lot or read the book, so this is all brand new to the both of us. Chris did do a little extra homework and watch most of the original adaptation before the show, so he was able to fill in some gaps when I had…

1
Grindhouse 2:47:14

7M ago2:47:14

2:47:14

It's Halloween Hustle time! We have to start this right and how more right can it be than to have PJ back by my side on the microphone, liquor in the cups and THE friendship fundamental, Grindhouse. PJ, Chris and I went to see this in theaters back in 2007 and since 2017 when we started HVH, we have referenced this film, told the story of going to …

1
Gummo (Patreon Pick #62 from Seth Blackwell) 1:26:29

7M ago1:26:29

1:26:29

Our Patron Seth Blackwell has us dive back into the world of weird, art films and he even joins us to try and figure out just what the hell this even is. Chris and I have never seen it, Anita is out this week and we had to ask Seth on multiple occasions, "WHY?" Being from Ohio, this film did intrigue Chris and I but disappointed us both when we fou…

1
The Warriors (Patreon Pick #61 from Dell On Movies) 1:54:00

7M ago1:54:00

1:54:00

Thanks to Patreon, we all get to fill a hole in our pop culture knowledge as none of us have ever seen The Warriors. A movie with a rabid cult fanbase and loved by rappers all over, can it be any good in 2024? We kept straight with the movie this week, not a ton of side convos but we did get Anita singing for a second, Trade Voorhees gets some play…

1
Back to the Future (Patreon Pick #60 from Kevin Rodriguez) 1:51:03

8M ago1:51:03

1:51:03

Thanks to our supporter Kevin Rodriguez, we get to go back in time and review a film that none of us have watched in a real long time. For the first time in a while, we all had wildly different thoughts about the movie and one of us may have some torches and pitchforks coming their way. We also discuss if we would go back in time if given the oppor…

1
The Tuxedo (Ft. PJ) 1:50:32

8M ago1:50:32

1:50:32

So, I have avoided this film for 22 years but because of Anita and Chris, I have to finally watch it. As a kid, I had no interest in the American Jackie Cham films (other than Rush Hour) and I didn't watch any of them. I expect the worst but i'm being open. It also helps that PJ is with us this week! In true HVH style, we break the movie down and d…

1
Alien 3 (Special Edition) 1:43:03

8M ago1:43:03

1:43:03

Alien was so good that Anita and Chris couldn't wait to watch the next movie! Even better is that Chris came out to visit us here in Cali, so all three of us are on the mic in person again, like old times. I was brimming with anticipation for them to see the first 10 minutes of this movie and if you know why, you know. Anita and I also went to see …

1
Showdown In Little Tokyo 1:15:27

8M ago1:15:27

1:15:27

I get to show Chris his first Brandon Lee film and I get to re-analyze this movie after previously reviewing it on the Old Man Orange Podcast about five years ago! A buddy cop movie with decapitations, neck snaps, spin wheel death explosions, water hoses down the throat and weird lines from Brandon Lee for sure has to be a fun time right? We also r…

1
Aliens (Special Edition) 1:38:14

9M ago1:38:14

1:38:14

The spirit of PJ lives on because like him, apparently Chris and Anita haven't seen anything either. This is a first time watch for them both and Chris had never even watched the original, so he gives his review of that film as well. This was a staple of my childhood, the same way the Harry Potter movies were staples of theirs, so let's see if they…

1
Shallow Grave (Patreon Pick #59 from Scott Widney) 1:29:15

9M ago1:29:15

1:29:15

Chris and i are on the mic this week and thanks to our supporter, Scott Widney, I get to check out a flick that has been on my radar for a while now but I juts never got around to. I don't know what was up with me this day but I was on one. Went into several rants like in the old days of the podcast, talking about people spoiling movies online, str…

1
Best of the Best (Patreon Pick #58 from Nick the Dot Dot Dot) 1:41:50

9M ago1:41:50

1:41:50

The patrons have spoken once again and this time, the homie Nick wanted us to watch the 1989 karate flick, "Best of the Best." Always saw this movie playing on HBO as a kid but never actually checked it out. Very curious to see just how much karate Eric Roberts is about to throw down with! Because of a bicycle scene in the film, we all discuss our …

1
Horror Express (Patreon Pick #57 from Mario) 1:24:48

9M ago1:24:48

1:24:48

Mario gifts us with his next Patreon pick this week and I've actually never seen Horror Express; it was on my entirely too long list of movies to get around to one day. I was able to talk Anita into watching this horror film since it was light on jump scares. The movie was slightly hard to follow at points, but we got through it and the final thoug…

1
Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary 1:43:34

9M ago1:43:34

1:43:34

I've been quoting this movie for a long time, or rather singing one of the songs from this movie for a long time. I had never actually watched the movie though.. That changes today. It's a comedy film and a hip hop film, so I got to be a music nerd for a bit, Cameron calls into the show and talks of his love for house shoes, Chris gives his opinion…

1
Far Cry 1:36:37

10M ago1:36:37

1:36:37

Uwe Boll has somehow escaped the Home Video Hustle for years but finally we get to fix that. Far Cry is one of my favorite video game series' but I have to see if it makes a good film. You may actually be surprised by some of our opinions on the film, and Uwe even gets a bit of a defense at one point. I also have some shoutouts to give this week an…

1
Superman (1978) [Brent's Never Seen] 1:54:44

10M ago1:54:44

1:54:44

WHAT?!? Brent's never seen Superman?!? Yes, and to make it better, I've never seen any of the original Superman films! That gets fixed today! Can I find appreciation for the boy scout now that I am not the edgelord I was in my youth? Will Lois Lane fare better with Anita than Jean Gray did last episode? Will Chris ever let go of his anger for the T…

1
X-Men 1:54:39

10M ago1:54:39

1:54:39

Man, I haven't seen this since I was a kid. My dad took Cameron and I to see this in the theater and was more hype than us, I'll tell you all about it. We'll also give you our thoughts on the film 24 years later, Chris tries some bacon flavored soda, Anita gives her thoughts on Rush Hour 2 after seeing it for the first time in a while, I dish out s…

1
Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1:49:41

10M ago1:49:41

1:49:41

Somehow, Anita had never watched Terminator 2 but that got fixed today! We also have a special guest on the mic with us and there is a whole story behind it, full of deception! I decided to have us watch the extended cut for this episode, may not have been the best idea but you'll hear all about it. We also discuss who would win in a race, the T-10…

1
Killing Spree (1987) [Patreon Pick #56] 1:51:47

11M ago1:51:47

1:51:47

Trade Voorhees joins the show once again and he brings a movie with him! Neither Chris nor I have ever heard of Killing Spree but luckily, it was easy to find... It's a wild movie and we had a lot to talk about, especially that scene where the main actresses head turns into a big pair of lips and she gives "head" to a guy and his head starts to sho…

1
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li 1:47:43

11M ago1:47:43

1:47:43

Back in 2009, I was graduating high school and watching this film in the theater. I hated it. So much that I never watched it again...Until now! I had Anita check out the original movie first, so she gives her quick thoughts on that one. Chris tries hard to help us through this terrible plot and Anita caused a whole tangent that probably got used a…

1
Predator 2 1:54:18

11M ago1:54:18

1:54:18

I couldn't hold off any longer, I had to know if I'm by myself in saying that this movie is better than the original. Like before, they have never seen this movie before either! Since they weren't blown away by the original, maybe the City Hunter can make them super fans of Predator. Also in the episode, we hear about Anita's extreme dislike for a …

1
Resident Evil: Apocalypse 1:36:10

11M ago1:36:10

1:36:10

You want a podcast? I'll give you a podcast! It's been years but we are finally getting back to the residences full of evil and we watched what was always my favorite film in the series! Will that change? There are only three Hustlers left this week, Anita, Chris and myself. We don't know where PJ is. If you can't tell from reading this summary, I …

Brent & PJ Watch Soul Train (Patreon Hustlin' Ep. 11) 2:32:02

11M ago2:32:02

2:32:02

There is a lot going on this week and since I don't want to leave you with no episode, I dug into the Patreon vault and pulled out one of our hypest episodes. I got PJ to watch a bunch of episodes of Soul Train and like a typical music filled episode, it went WAY longer than it was supposed to. I hope you enjoy this look back into the vault and i'l…
