In this, our longest episode ever, Tom and Derrick wax rhapsodic about Timothy Dalton, who deserves to be considered the Toughest Bond Ever.

Tom and Derrick join forces with Dread Media's Des Reddick to examine the trio of films directed by the great horror author Clive Barker.  We also touch upon a variety of films adapted by Barker's works, and solve the mystery of why the poster to Nightbreed looks really, really familiar.

Tom and Derrick welcome the Hip-Hop Maestro of BITD, Kelen 'B Hyphen' Conley, for a celebration of the work of Brooklyn's own Spike Lee.  Plus Tom and Kelen talk football and we make our guest explain how he wouldn't make out with Sasha Grey.

In this episode, Tom and Derrick examine five films directed by the controversial director Dario Argento, a man known more for his imagery and strange behavior than for such things as plot and coherence.  All brought to you by The Decapomatic.

It's the 2009 Obscure Films Episode, as The Guys Outta Brooklyn talk about a sextet of flicks you might not have heard about, including our annual genuflection toward Sam Peckinpah, Straw Dogs, and the futuristic adventure Cherry 2000.

In this episode, Stan Lee and George Tuska continue the slow build of The Sleeper Saga by introducing The Devil-Bat Monstrosity to fight alongside The Milk Jug of Doom...plus Captain America fights a broken log.

We continue our trek through Bond by exploring the fruits of Kevin McClory's judicial labors and what The Boys From Brooklyn consider the Heart of Darkness of the series.  Plus Derrick's choice for the worst Bond Girl ever, busted 70's pilots, and Christopher Walken impressions!

In this episode, Green Lantern onces more travels to the 58th Century and uses a giant statue to foil the evil designs of a malicious stage magician....and no, it's not Abra Kadabra.

Plus Hal gets knocked out again.

Another review show, as Tom and Derrick discuss such then-current films as Taken, The Wrestler, and Watchmen.  Plus advice to oblivious parents on how to determine which film to take your kids to.

The Guys Outta Brooklyn continue their examination of the James Bond films with two Roger Moore entries that count amongst the best of his tenure.  Plus more use of the word 'boobs' of any episode....

In this episode, The Guys Outta Brooklyn examine a number of films produced by Disney during a desperate time in their existence, where they were near bankruptcy and willing to try anything....including the science fiction of The Black Hole, the family horror of Something Wicked This Way Comes and the (interminable) fantasy The Black Cauldron.  Plus....wakka-chickas.

Just accept it.

It's a landmark episode, as we look at the first part of the epic The Sleepers Awakes! storyline, where Captain America encountes what's supposed to be a scary Kirby-esque monstrosity...but thanks to George Tuska is actually a giant milk jug.

It's actually quite good.  Really.

In this episode, Green Lantern behaves very oddly...no, not in the story that depicts his trial, but in the story where he lets his power ring fall through his trouser pocket and celebrates the marriage of his friend by extolling the joy of getting married so that your wife can sew your clothes.

In this episode, we look at one of the great cinematic idols of the 80's, Sylvester Stallone, through the prism of one of his greatest characters, John Rambo.  The popularity of one reflects the other, and we trace how what Stallone went through helped shape the character's maturity.

The Boys Outta Brooklyn takes on a trio of films that were inspired by the works of Alan Moore: the incredulously silly Return of The Swamp Thing, the contraversial League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the fantastic V for Vendetta.  Plus stories of brushes with Moore and Sean Connery and Derrick actually has something nice to say about Natalie Portman!

It's another review episode, as Tom and Derrick look at <i>Gran Torino</i>, <i>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</i> and <i>Seven Pounds</i>, while Tom goes off on a rant concerning the man who told Eva Mendes she looked like Raquel Welch....

In this episode, The Guys Outta Brooklyn celebrate their fiftieth recording by talking about a sextet of films that helped shape their lives.  Including in this discussion are Tom's recounting how Danny Kaye kept the bond between him and his mom strong, Derrick talking about the first time he ever saw a movie, and what both of them did during Thanksgiving.  All this and the return of Special Correspondent Cade Reddick--joined by his younger brother and Baby Jaguar!

It's the last issue of the 'Captain America in WWII' arc, as Cap and Bucky feign unconsciousness, dying just doesn't stop Celia from talking...and talking, and Rawlings blows things up good!

In this episode of our overview of the James Bond films, we cover one film that is a pinnacle of Roger Moore's Bondian career...and one film that is so awful Tom and Derrick have to resort to Foghorn Leghorn impressions to get them through it.  Plus a discussion of the Stanley Kubrick/James Bond connection and more rapturious love for Carolyn Munro.

In this issue, our man Hal goes to a subatomic world to fix a problem he caused and tells....grumblemutter...Pieface the origins of his oath.

And the scary thing is...this isn't the worst thing Tom Kalmaku is called this time around.

In this episode, The Guys Outta Brooklyn get into a freeform conversation about the nature of moviegoing and how it has changed in the past few decades.  Amongst the subjects discussed are the disappearance of the independent and single-screen theater, their own moviegoing experiences and the way home media formats have changed the way people behave.  Plus, Judd Apatow treats Tom and Derrick to free popcorn!

We return to the James Bond series with the debut films of Roger Moore, including a film Tom titles 'Black People Hate Bond'.  Plus Derrick says something that makes Tom speechless with laughter and a discussion of the first nominee for the absolute worst Bond girl ever.

She doesn't remain the worst because she looks great in a bikini.

In this continuation of the Greymoor Castle story, the mad scientist becomes a wuss baby, the hulking assistant is replaced by a Nazi commandant named Uberhart (Superheart?), and Cap looks like he has to poo while fighting Medieval Armor Nazis.  Plus, Jack Kirby is replaced by George Tuska, which causes the Baby Jesus to cry.

Okay, I made that last part up.

Another of our periodic review shows, highlighted by Tom threatening to 'Go Shylock' on the directors of his new Worst Movie Ever and a celebration of one of The Boys Outta Brooklyn's favorite actors, The Great Don Cheadle.

We examine the trend during 2008's television season for both hyper-intelligent characters and adaptation of British television series by discussing Fringe, The Eleventh Hour, The Mentalist and others.  Plus we learn how Derrick's wife feels we are analogous to the two leads of Boston Legal.

In this issue, Sinestro makes a bid to destroy the Guardians as we're deluged with wacky Lanterns from All Planets, and Sue Williams shows us why she may very well be the single most misguided woman in the DC Universe (the fact that she looks to Lois Lane for romantic advice might be an indicator...)

We continue our survey of the Bond films with the first in a series of...well, one George Lazenby films and the film that brought a very bored looking Sean Connery back.  Plus the connection between Blofeld and the debut of the first version of B Hyphen's Better In The Dark theme.

Our second annual Obscure Horror Films For Halloween Episode, featuring Tom and Derrick's discussion on films like The Wicker Man, The People Under The Stairs, Highway To Hell and The Descent.  Plus Tom imitates Gilbert Gottfried, some talk about films to make you claustrophobic, and thoughts on the fate of Patrick Bergin.

In this episode, a mad scientist with a steel hand, his guilty sister and some nameless goof plan to shrink Captain America down to size.  Literally.

Believe it or not, it's pretty good.

It's our Obscure Film Episode for 2008, with an emphasis on such forgotten crime thrillers as Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead, The Limey, and Hammett.  Plus a review of The Last Dragon is disrupted by imitations of Julius Carey and Derrick's theory regarding the connection between Miracle Mile and Cloverfield.

Originally meant to be our second annual Bad Films We Love Episode (and propelled by our propensity for breaking into song at the drop of a joke), this sees us pick some of our favorite Obscure and Strage Musicals--both surprisingly great ones like Little Shoppe of Horrors and terrible-but-we-love-them ones like Josie and The Pussycats.

In this episode, Green Lantern is snatched away from battling a sea monster to the 58th century, given a new identity, and fights giant gila monsters who shrink people with their eyes.

I have no idea what John Broome was smoking, either.

In this episode, we look at the final part of the first Captain America three-parter, where The Red Skull abandons his plan to assassinate the allied commander by...well, telling some nameless Nazi thug to steal a vanishing ray.

In the third part of our overview of James Bond, we are struck speechless before the amazingly awful 'psychedelic cinema' Bond spoof, Casino Royale right after we discuss the Japanese travelogue that is You Only Live Twice.  Plus The Guys Outta Brooklyn try to figure out how a man can wash his own intestines.

In this review episode, we heap praise upon four films from the summer of 2008, especially the comic book films The Incredible Hulk and The Dark Knight.  But the big significance of this episode is not the reviews, not the debut of The Man Of A Thousand Voices as Tom creeps Derrick out with his Joker impersonation, but the first appearance of The Better In The Dark Junior Correspondence Cade Reddick!

In this episode, Hal's nightmare turns Tom Kalmaku into a seagull, which interferes with the mechanic's roundevous with his childhood sweetheart.  Oh, and some guy named Sinestro makes his debut.

In this episode, The Guys Outta Brooklyn examine the three cinematic adaptations of Richard Matheson's scientific take on vampirism, I Am Legend--all with different approaches, and all with something that makes it partially faithful to the source material.  Plus some discussion of mixing animation with live action.

In this second part of our look at the James Bond films, we examine the two movies that truly launched Bondmania, as well as debate what makes a good Bond theme and tell the story of how Bond bankrupted the oldest toy company in the nation.

In what we hope will remain our longest episode ever--two hours of Brooklyn-y goodness--we look at all the incarnations of The Dark Knight in film and television throughout the ages.  Plus a defense of Joel Shumacher, a debate on the charms of Katie Holmes and the revelation of the original cast and title of Batman Forever.

In this episode, we continue the first multipart adventure of Captain America during the World War Two throwback phase of the Silver Age.  It features a Cap who looks like he's stoned, Bucky disguised as a Hogan's Heroes character and a cowardly Adolph Hitler.

In this episode, The Guys Outta Brooklyn celebrate the legendary Vincent Price by reviewing the seven films that comprise the MGM Screen Icon Set, including the two Dr. Phibes films, Theater of Blood and Witchfinder General.

The first of our critical appraisals of the James Bond films provides some background on the origins of the longest running action movie series of all time before covering the first two Sean Connery capers.  Plus the long-lost words to Monty Norman's iconic James Bond theme!

Tom's back with a landmark issue where Green Lantern meets Tomar Re and deals with the incredible menaces of The Thought-Rebels of Aku and The SmileySaurs.

Okay, so the SmileySaurs are less than incredible.

In this review episode, the Guys Outta Brooklyn are full of joy over films like the black and white version of The Mist, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (and not just because Kristen Bell is in it), and Iron Man.  Oh, and Tom ponders the relationship between post-apocalyptic worlds and cars when he discusses Doomsday.

In This episode (dedicated to comic artist Gil Kane), The Guys Outta Brooklyn discuss movies they'd like to see remade, such as Conan, Doc Savage and the Flint movies.  Plus a defense of Billy Zane's gut and a rant about Frank Spotnitz' reworking of Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

In the second of our two part celebration of Doctor Who, The Guys Outta Brooklyn reveal their choices for the best stories of the series, including a special focus on the Philip Hinchcliffe era, an argument for the hardcore nature of Sarah Jane and the revelation of the one woman who might rival Kristen Bell for Tom's affection.

For Dennis Quaid's birthday, we celebrated the man with a discussion of some of our favorite Quaid films (and a memory of his appearance on the ultra-obscure variety hour The Big Show).

Our first anniversary program in which Tom and Derrick talk about the books and comics they would turn into films if they were movie producers.  Plus podcasts they recommend for long commutes and gratuitous Dennis Quaid and Kristen Bell.

It's a short one, but a significant one--namely the landmark story that reveals the Red Skull's origin.

The first of two parts focusing on the long-lived Doctor Who television series.  In it, The Boys Outta Brooklyn spend almost two hours talking about the history of the series from its humble beginnings as a children's show to its present status as an international cult classic. 

Another review program, noteworthy primarily for Derrick's mini-essay on Why Transformers is best viewed while drunk and another rant from Tom revolving around his beloved Kristen Bell and her role in Heroes.

This landmark episode wraps up our first 'series within the series,' as Tom and Derrick look at the rest of the films that adapt Marvel Comics characters, then looks at upcoming (circa February of 2008) Marvel films. 

It's Green Lantern's first full length adventure and, while Tom could talk about the plot, a new super-villian and the power ring reaching new levels of ridiculous power, but three words should be sufficient to get you to listen.

Monkey Green Lantern.

You know you have to.

In this episode, we examine how the saga of Herbert West went from a striking case of a group of people all being in the right place at the right time to create greatness to...well, a zombie penis fighting a rat.  Plus--an excerpt from a techno Reanimator song, and Tom consistently mispronounces the name of one of the key people in the series!

In this episode, Captain America's greatest enemy, The Red Skull makes the scene back in 40's--albeit in a khaki jumpsuit and carrying Hot Water Brand Sleep Gas (It Does A Body Good!).

In this episode, Tom and Derrick review the double-bill event Grindhouse and try to figure out why what was touted as a major event became a major disaster.  Plus, the Guys Outta Brooklyn talk about their own Grindhouse memories.

In this episode, Green Lantern travels to the evil dimension of Qward to fight a round-headed robot who's secretly good and finds his mask the target of a scavenger's hunt run by Carol.  Plus a mystery surrounding the artist--or artists involved in drawing a story.

In this episode, we celebrate the life and career of Derrick's dream girl, blaxploitation legend Pam Grier, by examining a sextet of the actress' films.

Our fifth episode looking at media incarnations of Marvel characters focuses on The Hulk.  We examine the Green Eyed Monster's history from crappy cartoons to the famous television series to the Ang Lee-directed debut feature.  Plus we give much love to Sam Elliot and Tim Thomerson and Derrick challenges people to a knife fight.

In this special episode, we celebrated Christmas by looking at action movies set during the holidays, from the famous (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon) to the obscure (Trancers).

Another review episode, featuring 30 Days of Night, The Bourne Ultimatum, Shoot 'Em Up and our famous 'white trash intervention' for Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween.

In this episode, Tom and Derrick celebrate Sports Movies, including both versions of The Longest Yard, Slap Shot and Dodgeball. 

We're still in that brief run where Captain America and Bucky are having WWII-set fun.  In this story, the Star-Spangled Duo face off against a midget with an oversized head, a man in a monocle and a slew of henchmen who look like gangsters, talk like gangsters...but are Nazis.

Apparently, these henchmen are very, very confused.

In this episode, Tom tries to keep a straight face as Green Lantern is so desperate to not get married that he consciously creates the Menace He Calls....Chiller Diller!  Plus the Emerald Guardian pursues two Qwardian Spies disguised as traveling salesmen.

The last of our preview episodes before we decided it wasn't fun for us, including advice on Child Rearing, praise for Tim Burton and Vincent Price, and more Kristen Bell slobbering in the case of Tom.

In this episode, Tom examines a re-telling of Captain America's origin story, the beginning of the brief retro-Golden Age period of the series.

Our first Halloween Suggestions Episode saw us talking about a sextet of unusual horror films for people who wanted to look beyond Freddie, Jason, and Michael for their October 31st marathon.  Amongst the films discussed are Cemetery Man, Phantasm, From Dusk 'Til Dawn III: The Hangman's Daughter and both versions of House On Haunted Hill.

The fourth in our survey of Marvel characters in film and television turns the spotlight on Blade.  We trace the cinematic version of the Daywalker from his origins not in the New Line film but as a guest star on the old 90's Spider-Man cartoon to the end of the line as a bit of background in a cable series supposedly about him.

In this episode, Green Lantern encounters The Weaponers of Qward--the first in a long line of introductions that build the Lantern Corps Legend.  Oh, and Hal Jordan continually calls an Inuit mechanic 'Pieface while searching for a lost mine.

Well, that first story with the Weaponers is really cool.

Another review program, covering 1408, 28 Weeks Later, Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer, and The Boys Outta Brooklyn's dismantling of Spider-Man 3.

The third episode in our series exploring the filmic adventures of Marvel characters focuses on the company's biggest comic series, The X-Men.  We trace the history of Marvel's Merry Mutants from their status as the company's biggest failure to its revival under the tutelege of Chris Claremont to its position as Saturday Morning Kings and the film trilogy.

Another landmark in the history of the show, this was the first Films You Haven't Seen Yet...But Should program, as Tom and Derrick revealed their love for such neglected classics (and almost classics) as Dark City, Johnny Dangerously, The Brood and Dark Narcissus. 

In this episode, Captain America is hired to put on a demonstration of his fighting prowess just so evil men can attack....wait a minute!

At least it's got a villlian with a face far smaller than its head. 

In this episode, Green Lantern gets his own book after the Showcase tryout, and celebrates the new status quo...with a clip show.  But since this issue marks a new inker coming onboard to ink Gil Kane, it's a lot better than it appears!

In this landmark episode, released in anticipation of last year's Halloween remake by Rob Zombie, Thomas examines each and every entry in the original Halloween series, from Donald Pleasance worrying about releasing evil into the world to Busta Rhymes kung-fuing Michael Myers.

In this, our second preview episode, is notable not for discussions of whether The Boys Outta Brooklyn were excited by such films as The Bourne Ultimatum, Saw 4, and Stardust, but because Derrick and Tom continue their tangents with discussions about pop princesses and the Hollywood treatment of Hong Kong directors.  Even without those tangents, it's the first mention of that film Tom held above all others as the Worst of The Worst, Pulse.

Another of our classic episodes was supposedly about the Guys Outta Brooklyn examining the development of the serialized network television meme...but it became about Tom letting loose with another rant, this one a scorchingly anti-Heroes screed.

Every once in a while, you get a dog...and in this episode, Tom wrestles with a story where Cap goes to Vietnam to fight a ruthless Japanese Sumo general in his Chinese palace while displaying his gootch.  It's a chore, you betcha.

This is the first of our annual Movies That Suck That We Love episodes (although the second of these somehow metamorphed into our Musical Episode), where we come clean about movies that we know we shouldn't like but do anyway.  Among the highlights are Derrick's attempt to justify his love of Star Trek Five, and Tom's explanation why Norm MacDonald is funny.

This episode (released the day Kerwin Matthews died, to whom it was posthumously dedicated) covers the trilogy of Sinbad films which contained special effects work by the incomparable Ray Harryhausen...and also contained some slobbering over the stunning b-movie icon Caroline Munro.

Our first quarterly review of then-recent films is not notable for reviews of movies like 300 and The Number 23, but because it contains the very first Tom Deja rant, where he goes on a tear against Ghost Rider.  Plus the Guys Outta Brooklyn expound on such tangents as shakey-cam and Uwe Boll, which helped form the show into what it is today.
