This Is The End

It's not the end of STL, but it is time to finally review a movie that Masunas and Jamison have loved since the first time we saw it, and that's "This Is The End". This normally isn't a movie we review and stay away from these raunchy type films, however there is something special about a movie with guys that suck 9 times out of 10 by themselves in movies, but as a group pull off an amazing movie. It's a shorter episode but that doesn't stop us from getting into our love of the movie and also we cut to the chase on this Karate Kid video on the nets these days, plus announce an upcoming movie review long overdue in the series of "Classic Movies Masunas Hasen't Seen". All this and more in episode 153!

They Live

Masunas & Jamison are back. We had original plans for another movie review, but after the news of the loss of one of our favorite Wrestlers "Rowdy Roddy Piper", we had to review the cult classic, "They Live". In this episode we talk lots of good stuff not just about this movie, but about Piper himself and his history in Hollywood and in the ring. Does this movie still hold up? Listen and find out. Plus tons of other news about folks we always run into at the zoo together, "Batman V Superman" stuff along with how long this superhero movie craze will last. Bands that are still around from the 90's, another round of "Desert Island", and Masunas showcases his favorite song of 2015 and how there is no way it will get topped. All this and more in episode 152!

Brewster's Millions

This is gonna be a good one STL Nation! Since Jamison and I won't be back together for awhile, we went ALL out on this episode. After the news broke out about "Big Trouble In Little China", we got some things to say about all these stupid 80's remakes!! It's preachin time. Plus talks on The Punisher, Pitch Perfect 3, Bad Boys 3, songs of the summer, and tons of other stuff. At some point it's time to review a Richard Pryor classic! Or is it? Does it still have the magic today? Then a new game is introduced, "The Desert Island". It's some good times, and finally just when you think the episode is over, a new one starts with "STL After Dark". Hope you enjoy episode 151, we sure did!

The Breakfast Club

After 5 long months....Jamison returns! Unedited! That's right folks, we pick up right where we left off, having laughs and fun times. We continue on our John Hughes movie retrospective that we seem to be doing and see how a movie that's 30 years old holds up and what's great about it, but also what's changed now that we got older. Plus tons of random stuff like a "Pitch Perfect 2" review along with "Avengers: Age Of Ultron" from Masunas, Movie Mojo Monthly crossover??..."Furious 7" and 8 talk, Taylor Swift rap, Country music that's gay? Plus what John Hughes movie you could watch everyday of the week and more in episode 150!

Furious 7

The time has come to finally talk Furious 7! It's felt like forever, but my most anticipated film of 2015 has come and I lay my heart out on my sleeves on this review from my favorite franchise of all time. This episode is spoiler free for the first half. I will get into the movie, action, story, characters and above all else, Paul Walker and saying goodbye. Then I get into spoilers and as you know I went into this with the highest of highest expectations, time to see if it delivered for me and what the future holds for this series. All this and more in episode 149.

What's up STL Nation! It's been awhile but the time has come to record a new episode. In episode 148 it is a hybrid episode if you will of the normal movie review episodes, and the Underground Hour. In this episode I'll get into talk about news of just life in general along with my thoughts on the "Batman Arkham Knight" rating of "Mature" and what characters are being added to "Mortal Kombat X", plus thoughts on some other movie things like my expectations for "Furious 7" in the next 6 days and what I want to see, and expect from my most anticipated movie of 2015 from my favorite franchise!

STL's Top 20 Songs & Top 10 Movies Of 2014

Welcome to the first episode of 2015! My favorite episode to do every year is this top 20 songs and top 10 movies of the previous year. 2014 was an amazing year in music, and my personal record was broken narrowing down my favorite tunes of the year. More on that in the episode. My movie list feels very solid in the Masunas style that you are used to. While I didn't see every movie I wanted to, the past 2 weeks changed my list dramatically. Some of my choices will be shocking, but that's just the way Contrarian Masunas works, and you wouldn't want it any other way. Enjoy episode 146!

Men At Work

Jamison "Very Good" Rabbitt is back!!!!!!!! Masunas and Jamison close out 2014 with a movie close to our hearts and that's "Men At Work". Join us as we break down a movie about these crazy garbage men and also Jamison will give you the true story about the "Diary Of A Garbage Man" and how it really is! Plus we discuss the chaos that is contained in this action, black comedy. Plus Keith David! And most of all we breakdown all that was STL in 2014 and was no doubt the best year ever in STL land.

Gone In 60 Seconds (2000)

Finally a movie review! I know it's been awhile Nation and I'm sorry for that. But it's time to start the theme of 3 car type movies and to kick things off is the crazy Nick Cage in, "Gone In 60 Seconds". I brought in a special guest to help discuss this fun flick and it's awesome cast along with where it ranks with other racing type movies and also discuss the Avengers trailer that hit awhile ago and other fun stuff in episode 144!

Masunas And Peter Jam Session

Masunas is having another jam session, and this time it's staring a special guest Time Travlin' Peter from Hydrate Level Four Podcast!
What was supposed to be a 20 minute news section for the "Gone In 60 Seconds" episode, turned into over an hour of random talk. First up is the breakdown on the "Furious 7" trailer. Discuss in detail why it's amazing and did you catch Paul Walker's brothers in the trailer? Masunas did. Then we talk about movie news from Jared Leto Joker talk, renewed and cancelled shows and go on a love fest about "Stalker", "Forever", "The Flash" and more. Plus who is Oliver Hudson? And of course music talk from Taylor Swift to Megan Trainer and crazy talk about Country Music and other good stuff in episode 143!

The Karate Kid (Commentary Track)

For the first time in STL history, a request came in from the Nation to do a commentary track, and what better way to start one off than picking my favorite movie of all time, "The Karate Kid"!!!
Most podcast have more than one person doing a commentary track to keep things interesting and fast pace. But I promise I tried my hardest to make this super fun and entertaining while trying to talk about the movie differently than the 4 and a half hour review on the 100th episode.
I hope you enjoy this first ever commentary track in episode 142 and let me know if you want more, or if this sucked and never do it again! :)

Masunas' Top 10 Horror Movies Of All Time

The time has come to give the list. The Horror list. Now of course everyone and their Grandmother knows what my favorite Horror movie of all time is. "John Carpenter's Halloween". Since everyone has one of these lists, I thought the best way to change mine up would be to go in the order of 1 to 10. Since there is no surprise of getting to my number 1, at least 2 through 10 can build off "Halloween" and look at other movies and how they compare and if 's they have the "DNA" I'm looking for. Hopefully make it more interesting. Plus my updated review of the Halloween series. All this and more in episode 141!

STL News, Reviews & Updates

Well STL Nation, it's been over a month since the last episode hit the feed. As some of you may or may not know, I wanted to take some time off from podcasting. However the past 4 weeks have been so refreshing enough, that I didn't want to leave the greatest month in STL land empty! Since the "STL October Fest" is my favorite time of year, I wanted to give you guys some updates on what's been going on inside and outside the podcasting world, my plans for 1 Halloween episode this year instead of 10, and what's to come for the rest of the year and beyond. Then give you some news on a few things that I found interesting and finally, give you some reviews on a couple of horror movies that I have been watching on Netflix, and want to recommend to you for this crazy fun month known as October. Also some new shows I really am digging in episode 140.

We first honor Robin Williams and Masunas finally figures out his favorite moment from Mr. Williams, and tries not to cry. Then we dive into and discuss the in's and out's of the story of this classic movie, was this movie trying to be confusing? Or are we confused because we lost our notes?

Can't Buy Me Love

Masunas & Jamison are back after almost a month! Life got in the way but the time has come to talk one of the greatest movies of the 80's hands down! It's not a question of if we still love it and if it's good, it's a question of do you still love it as much as us!?! Most people know Patrick Dempsey as "Mc. Dreamy" but screw that crap, we knew him first with this flick. Listen and find out how it holds up today and why many movies copy this one. Plus we talk some new projects that has happened previously, and read some old emails for "Captain America The Winter Soldier", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and Masunas gives his final thoughts and ratings on those movies.

In this STL Bonus episode, Masunas finally talks about his thoughts on the new Batman suit that was posted a few days ago worn by Ben Affleck.

Revenge Of The Nerds II: Nerds In Paradise

In this episode things get crazy STL Nation and we apologize in advance. It's been 20 years for Jamison and 12 years for Masunas since we watched this movie.

Plus talks on White Castle, iCarly and Teen Nick, find out the winner of "Can't Buy Me Love" vs. "Coming To America" and much more in episode 130!

Revenge Of The Nerds

Masunas & Jamison are back! One of us is high on drugs (no worries it's prescription) and the other has no voice. But because we love the STL fans, we pulled through and talked about another movie from 1984! So the question remains, in a world where "Nerds" are the cool guys, how does this movie hold up 30 years later? Is this a time capsule or a movie ahead of it's time. Did you only see the TV version like Masunas and never know why the Nerds sold so many pies?!?? It's a very fun trip down memory lane and did the score move past 3-2 on "What Movie Am I?" or is it still the same? All this and more in episode 129!

Wrestlemania 30 With Ty (STL Bonus)

In this bonus episode of STL, Ty has returned! It's been along time but after recording "Face Vs. Heel" with Ryan, Masunas and Ty got together to talk Wrestlemania 30. Ty was at the event as well and he loves the Undertaker as much as I love The Rock. Listen to his thoughts on how things went down and how he is dealing with seeing his hero fall. Plus we catch up on some old times!

Face Vs. Heel - Wrestlemania 30

In this special episode of Face Vs. Heel, Mike (The Face) and Ryan (The Heel) talk about the events that went down at Wrestlemania 30. Ryan was at the live event and spent all weekend there so listen and hear the details of how things were very different that that on TV. From the epic opening of The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan, to the most shocking moment in WWE history, The Undertaker losing, it's an insane episode you don't want to miss!

Captain America The Winter Soldier (STL Bonus)

In this special bonus episode, I had to review the brand new Captain America movie The Winter Soldier and not just give a few paragraphs of my thoughts. It's been since "The Avengers" since I reviewed a Marvel movie and since the first Captain America movie is my favorite, I thought it would be nice to see how it compares to the first one, does it really live up to the hype? And is this as they say, "The Best Marvel Movie"? This review is spoiler free for the first part and then it's spoilers galore. Enjoy!
