S3E04 Borden to Death: Parricide Movies

S3E04 Borden to Death: Parricide Movies. This week on the 126th anniversary of the Lizzie Borden murders (and the show's 1st Birthday) Travis and Brewboss Shawn get morbid. We're talking about "Parricide Movies", or films in which children kill their parents. First up is the laughably bad "Deadfall" from 1993. It's the story of a long-con gone wrong with Michael Biehn, James Coburn, and a geeked out Nicholas Cage. Next we re-cast the made-for-TV "The Legend of Lizzie Borden" from 1975. This historical dramatization stars Elizabeth Montgomery as a daughter accused of killing her parent with an axe in 1892. Plus regular segulars the D.O.C.D., Midnight Dbl. Feature, Energy drink and Beer check-ins, the #2018MovieMarathon, and Honey Roast.

S3E03 Gettin' Some Strangelove

S3E03 Gettin' Some Strangelove: This week Travis, Shawn, and Hilary convene at the Chop Shop Garage to discuss the films of Stanley Kubrick. He would have been 90 this week, but his cinematic genius and influence lives on. We selected two of his earlier studio pictures prior to his moving to England and pursuing only passion projects. First up is the historical epic "Spartacus" with Kirk Douglas. Then we tread lightly with the controversial "Lolita". Also you can expect all the regular segulars like the DOCD, Midnight Double Feature, Beer check-in, #2018MovieMarathon, and a very special Honey Roast of Hilary for her birthday.

S3E02 Error 404: Missing link

S3E02 Error 404: Missing Link - This week the Chop Shop crew gets prehistoric then adapts with a discussion of "Evolution Movies" on the 93rd anniversary of the so called "Scopes Monkey Trial". Special guest Prof. T. Knowles adds scientific legitimacy to the conversation. We discuss 2009's "Creation", a Darwinian family portrait, then the iconic "Inherit The Wind" from 1960. Of course we did the regular segulars including: The D.O.C.D., the Midnight Dbl. Feature, Energy Drink and Beer check-ins, #2018MovieMarathon etc.

S3E01 Covering Our Bases

S3E01: "Covering our Bases". Baseball season is in full swing and the Chop Shop team (along w/ guest form beyond Harry Caray) is sliding in to home on this week's episode. In honor and celebration of America's pastime, as well as the upcoming MLB All-Star game, we're talking Baseball and the films thereof. Bases are stolen, bats are broken, and cups are adjusted in this one folks. First up to the plate is "Bang the Drum Slowly" with Robert Di Niro from 1973. Then on-deck we've got the Robert Redford classic "The Natural" from 1984. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks because you can also expect regular segments like The Midnight Double Feature, #2018MovieMarathon, Energy Drink and Beer check-ins etc. Enjoy!

S2E24 Ford Trucks, Apple Pie, Bald Eagles

Happy Indepenence Day! The Chop Shop crew is back with a nearly fatal dose of patriotism in the Season 2 finale.
