Stop the Movie! I Want to Get Out!

Episode #41 - The Last Airbender

Veteran special guest host Tim Ferlito returns to the podcast to help us hurl fireballs at another M. Night. Shyamalan classic! Based on a children's TV show, The Last Airbender follows Aang, the "Avatar" and last remaining Airbender. After being thawed out of a giant ice cube, Aang is being aggressively hunted down by the Firebender clan, while being protected by the Waterbenders... and then I fell asleep. Seriously guys, this movie is super boring. This is the film that cements Shyamalan's status as the Moriarty to our collective Sherlock Holmes. Grab your flying glider sticks, do some Tai Chi, and joins us as we freeze The Last Airbender in a block of ice!

Episode #40 - Fair Game

Cindy Crawford monotones her way through this mid-90's thriller starring William Baldwin, who plays a police officer caught up in a zany, overly elaborate KGB plot to kill Crawford, a lawyer who has absolutely no idea why the KGB even wants her dead. After numerous hilariously inept attempts at doing away with Crawford, Baldwin is tasked with protecting her at all costs, which proves to be easier than expected since the KGB is constantly telling him what they're about to do and when they're going to do it.  Christopher McDonald shows up and screams his way back to Stop the Movie, and we couldn't be more excited about it! Fiddle with your joysticks, have a pizza delivered to your secret safe house, and join us as we destroy Fair Game's walkman!

Episode #39 - Terminal Velocity

Charlie Sheen stars as Ditch Brodie in this mid-90's action/thriller masterpiece. Ditch is a high flying skydiver who crosses paths with an ex KGB agent who is trying to foil the plot of James Gandolfini, a member of the Russian Mafia.  Ditch must work to clear his name while hunting down a plane full of Russian gold. This movie was so bad that Gandolfini and Christopher McDonald decided to not even try to do Russian accents. Check your reserve chute, pop a Certz mint into your mouth, and join us as we push Terminal Velocity from a plane and watch it bounce!

Episode #38 - Glitter

Special guest Katie Corrado joins us as we review the 2001 masterpiece, Glitter. Mariah Carey stars as Bille Frank, a singer whose dreams come true when she meets a DJ named Dice, who acts as her manager/producer/boyfriend/marimba player. Billie's meteoric rise is contrasted by Dice's decent into complete douche-bagginess. Billie also occasionally remembers that she has a long-lost mother that she has some mild interest in finding. Glitter is so bad that the soundtrack alone got Mariah dropped from her label. Grab your 20 year old cats, get out your marimbas, and joins us as we drop Glitter off at an orphanage!

Episode #37 - Red Dawn (2012)

Chris Hemsworth and the fat kid from Drake and Josh star in the 2012 remake of Red Dawn, wherein large cities in the United States are taken over by an invading army of North Koreans... or are they Chinese? The filmmakers still aren't sure. The brothers Thor must band together with a group of teenagers to single handily take on the occupying forces and regain control of their hometown. The runtime on this movie is 3 Thor's Beards, but it feels like a whole 9 Thor's Beards! Grab your tracking devices, fill a trash bag with Subway sandwich meats, and joins us as we force Red Dawn to drink a dead deer's blood! WOLVERINES!

Episode #36 - So Undercover

So Undercover is a film with no discernible demographic. It's movie for young adults that is a times wildly inappropriate for young adults. Miley Cyrus stars as Molly, a college aged private detective who is hired by an FBI agent, played by Jeremy Piven, to go undercover in a sorority house to protect the daughter of a former mobster from... someone... I don't know... this plot is totes confusing. Grab your back massagers, get out your spy cameras, and join us as we kick So Undercover in its amazeballs!

Episode #35 - Friday the 13th (2009)

The original Friday the 13th was a campy, low budget, atmospheric slasher movie that spawned an entire franchise built around Jason Voorhees. Michael Bay's 2009 remake is a bland, generic, slick, modern horror movie that happens to feature a killer wearing a hockey mask. Jared Padalecki stars as Clay, a man who's sister has gone missing in the general vicinity of Camp Crystal Lake, where years earlier a woman wiped out an entire camp's worth of counselors because they let her son, Jason, drown. Turns out, he's still alive. Whoops... awkward. Now, Jason is killing a new group of 20-somethings who are just looking to have a good time as Clay searches for his missing sister. We were as shocked as anyone to find a movie that makes Friday the 13th Part V look like Psycho. Grab your LL Bean catalogs, put on your potato sacks, and joins us as we slowly feed Friday the 13th into a wood chipper!

Episode #34 - Cold Light of Day

We here at Stop the Movie have a special place in our hearts for the character Sigourney Weaver played in "Abduction", so you can only imagine how delighted to we were to see her playing the exact same character in this week's movie! "Cold Light of Day" is a film that makes even leading man Henry Cavill's fan club groan. Cavill plays a failed entrepreneur whose father, played by Bruce Willis, leads a secret double life as a CIA agent who has stolen some very sensitive materials from an army of Spanish terrorists. After his family is taken hostage by the terrorists, Cavill must run like a madman through the streets of Madrid and figure out how to meet the terrorists' demands, while simultaneously evading Weaver and the CIA. Hide your guns in the nearest dumpster, throw your phones into the ocean, and join us as we mercilessly interrogate Cold Light of Day!

Episode #33 - Supernova

James Spader and Angela Bassett star in a Sci-Fi "thriller" so inane that none of it's multiple directors wanted their name attached to it. After responding to a distress call, the crew of a medical space ship come across a lone treasure hunter who has discovered a glowy space bomb that gives him superhuman powers... powers which he eventually use to take over the ship. Now Spader must stop him from killing everybody and selling the bomb, which is so powerful, it can create a supernova if detonated. Watch as Robert Forrester dies way too early... See Robin Tunney struggle to keep her clothes on... Marvel at Lou Diamond Phillip's inability to stop rubbing his face all over the radioactive space rock... Find out which podcaster is founding a fan club dedicated to one of the stars of the film! Double check your hyperdrive pods, put on your armor suit, and join us as we give Supernova the finger!

Episode #32 - Star Trek V

This week Stop the Movie takes you through the great barrier and into the center of the galaxy as we review the fifth installment of the Star Trek motion picture series. This time around William Shatner plants himself in the captain's chair AND the director's chair and brings us a film about a crazy Vulcan's search for God. When the Enterprise is taken over by Spock's delusional brother, Kirk must fight to get his ship and his crew back. Set your phasers to stun, let go of your pain, and join us as we blast Star Trek V into the depths of the final frontier! Featuring special guest Nick Newert!
