The $5 Bin Podcast

This week, we celebrate being half way done with 2016.  We'll talk about movies we've seen, movies we can't wait to see, and movies we know we'll HAVE to see in order to give out "Worst Performance" and "Worst Movie" awards at the end of the year.  It's our annual "Half Way Through" show!

We're turning 50!!!!!!  Well, 50 episodes that is.  It's been two years of podcasting here at The $5 Bin Podcast and we're celebrating with one of our personal favorites...Masters of the Universe!  We'll also talk about some of our favorite episodes, some of our least favorite movies and a little bit of what the future holds for the podcast.  So, sit back, relax, crack open a cold one and celebrate with us!

After a month of Superhero movies, we decided to do a children's movie.  I should say...a "children's movie."  See what I did there with the "quotes?"  How on earth this passes for a "children's movie" I'll never know.  But, that's how it was marketed...a movie for kid's!  Tell you what, you watch it and you decide.  Better yet, DON'T watch it and just listen to our review of "Kangaroo Jack."

This week, we wrap up Superhero Month in a pretty bow...with an ugly movie.  This would be the movie that took two films to undo...TWO!!!  With the release of the new X-Men film, we thought we should look back on this horrible excuse for a movie that almost killed a franchise.  Why watch a good X-Men movie when you can watch a bad one?

This week, we find ourselves in the middle of "Superhero Month" and in the clutches of serial $5 Bin actor Nick Cage.  It was this or the original Ghost Rider.  We figured that we go with the movie that allowed him to be more "Nick Cage-ier" than the original.  We feel we made the right choice!  "High Praise!"

This week, we kick off "Superhero Month" with a movie that never saw a theater, but has seen a lot of play on YouTube.  We're watching the unreleased 1990 version of Captain America.  What is with us and "unreleased" movies.  

We're headed back to the genre of "Rom-Com's" and wound up with a JLo flick.  It's her first appearance on the podcast and most likely won't be her last.  The best thing this movie has going for it is that it's not titled "Gili."  So...there's that... Enjoy!

This week, we review first time offender Val Kilmer and second time offender Elizabeth Shue's political action movie "The Saint."  Do you like a lot of action?  Do you like a lot of intrigue?  Do you appreciate Val Kilmer's acting range?  Well, you won't find it in this movie, but you will find a lot of talk about "cold fusion"...whatever that is...  

We got more than a few requests to cover Netflix's "Fuller House," so here it is!  We couldn't get Erik to watch every episode, but I'm sure he'll be happy to know that it's what they are currently showing on a continuous loop to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Why God?!?!? Why are we doing this movie?!?!?  I blame Erik...we all blame Erik.  That being said, because it's a horrible movie, you'd better believe we'll have a lot to say about it!  Also, they are making three more of these...THREE!!!!  Unfortunately, this probably one be the last one in this franchise that we cover.  So, buckle up and hang on!  We're doing 2 Fast 2 Furious!
