S26E05: Chopping Mall - As we round the bend toward the conclusion os season 26, one we call Domo Arigato, it’s time to hit the food court with Chopping Mall!

S26E04: Class of 1999 - On a new episode of Pick Six Movies, we head to school with the robot teacher sci-fi nonsense, Class of 1999!

It’s a wild one, folks! 00:00:00 – 00:02:06 – Welcome to the Show with […]
S26E03: M3gan - Welcome, human listeners, to another episode of this season of Pick Six Movies. We call this one “Domo Arigato,” and it’s all about movies featuring robots.

S26E02: The Black Hole - As part of our 26th season of Pick Six Movies, Domo Arigato, we are looking at six movies all about robots. For our second episode of this season, we are venturing into deep space with quippy robots, unclear protagonists, and a crazy German intent on defying the very laws of science and good movie-making. That’s […]
S26:E01: Heartbeeps - It’s a new season of Pick Six Movies, and we are getting cozy with our future robot overlords. We’re looking at six movies all about robots and what better place to start than with a movie that almost no one has seen, 1981’s Heartbeeps! How could a movie starring Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters with […]
S25E06:Wild at Heart - For our final road trip in Season 25, Holiday Road, we are throwing on the snakeskin jacket and hitting the Yellow Brick Road with David Lynch’s Wild at Heart. Is it the artist movie we’ve seen this season? For sure. Is it the best? Well, you’ll have to tune in and find out! And prepare […]
S25E05: Over the Top - It’s the penultimate episode of Season 25 of Pick Six Movies and we are hitting the road, the Holiday Road, that is, with Sylvester Stallone in the arm wrestling/trucking/father-son epic (?), Over the Top!

S25E04: The Hitcher (2007) - Season 25 of Pick Six Movies is called Holiday Road, a season all about the joy of the road trip. And now we slam on the brakes to pick up this unwelcome traveler, 2007’s make of The Hitcher from the goons who did remakes of The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. And it’s just as dumb as […]
S25E03: Thelma & Louise - Hey there, fellow travelers! In a rare bit of good movie-watching, Pick Six Movies heads to the American Southwest with Ridley Scott and Thelma & Louise. It only took us until season 25, one we’re calling Holiday Road, to get to a legitimately great film. We have traded in the usual dumb voices for some genuine […]
S25E02: Drive Angry - For our second episode of Season 25, Holiday Road, we are taking a ride with Pick Six favorite Nicolas Cage as he escapes hell, hooks up with a salty waitress, and goes on the hunt for a chicken-fried cult leader in Drive Angry.

S25E01: Vacation - Welcome to a new season of Pick Six Movies! We are calling this, our 25th season (?!) Holiday Road, and we are kicking it off with the reboot/reimagining/horrible mistake that is 2015’s Vacation. Can two good jokes save a movie? We’ll answer that question, along with how much poop one movie needs, and debate how […]
S24: E06: Masters of the Universe - When it comes to finales, nobody does it like Pick Six Movies. And by that I mean, nobody finds weirder movies to obsess over. Join us as we comb over Masters of the Universe, a toy-inspired space fantasy with so many problems, we don’t even bother trying to fix this one. Thrill to the lack of […]
S24E05: The Emoji Movie - Season 24’s penultimate episode explores another pop culture travesty: The Emoji Movie. Our season, pop Culture Club, has generated many horrors.

S24E04: Super Mario Bros. - We reach new levels of weirdness on a brand new Pick Six Movies with Super Mario Bros.

Pick Six Movies: S24E04: Super Mario Bros. - We reach new levels of weirdness on a brand new Pick Six Movies with Super Mario Bros.

Grab your belt, we’re taking a wrench to this […]
S24E03: Perfect - Join Pick Six Movies as we mark the halfway point of season 24, Pop Culture Club, with the sweaty and silly Perfect. How does this movie make Jamie Lee Curtis working out so unsexy? What crime did that guy commit? And is our John Travolta impression the worst thing we’ve ever done? The decision is […]
S24E02: The Jerky Boys - Pick Six Movies dials up a blast from the past with this prank phone call turkey from 1995, The Jerky Boys.

S23E06: The Tomorrow War - It’s a season final for Pick Six Movies Season 23, which we call Stream On! We’re wrapping up with the utter nonsense that is the sci-fi time-travel elevator fart, The Tomorrow War. Why do they care so little about the time travel premise of this movie? Is this the worst job interview ever? And how […]
S23E05: Bird Box - The end is nigh! Of Season 23 of Pick Six Movies, I mean. And while we wait for the end, we’re taking a pit stop in Apocalypse Town with the Sandra Bullock-starring thriller, Bird Box. Is this a rip-off of The Happening or of A Quiet Place? Why not both? Also, lots of fun with […]
S23E04: Army of the Dead - Like a bad penny, Zach Snyder turns up again on the latest Pick Six Movies as we roll the dice on the Netflix Original, Army of the Dead.

S23E03: Samaritan - Welcome to a superheroic episode of Pick Six Movies with a look at the Sylvester Stallone flick Samaritan. This movie has everything… that you don’t want. There’s a terrible kid, some overwrought twin hero nonsense, a villain with a Robocop game cabinet, and oh so much more. Let’s dumpster-dive into this one together, shall we? […]
S23E02: Bright - As Season 23 of Pick Six Movies, a season we call Stream On, flows along, we find ourselves washed ashore of the buddy cop/fantasy movie hybrid Bright. It features Will Smith Will Smith-ing it up, a tone-deaf script, some not-so-subtle allegory, and a bunch of orc racism. What’s not to like? So join us for […]
S23E01: Falling for Christmas - It’s time to crack the seal on Season 23 of Pick Six Movies and we are starting with a holiday humdinger – the Netflix/Lindsay Lohan team-up, Falling for Christmas.

S22E05: Halloween (2007) - Well howdy! Happy Post-Thanksgiving and we here at Pick Six Movies are honoring this gluttonous holiday with the traditional crappy remake of a classic horror film. This time, we look at Robert Zombie’s Halloween as part of Season 22, a season we call Deja Ew. There are book-hungry doctors, jerk killers, and lots of head-scratching about who […]
S22E04: A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) - Halloween may be over, but don’t tell Pick Six Movies that! We’re continuing Season 22’s look at horror remakes with A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).

S22E03: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - Join us for a new episode of Pick Six Movies as we rev up to eviscerate the terrible remake, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).

S22E02: Friday the 13th (2009) - Welcome to Pick Six Movies where every day is Friday the 13th!

S22E01: The Amityville Horror (2005) - It’s season opener time for Pick Six Movies, and we are kicking off Season 22, Deja Ew, with the miserable misfire of a remake, The Amityville Horror (2005).

S21E06: The Lost World: Jurassic Park - It’s season finale time once again here at P6 HQ, and we like to go out with a bang.

And […]
S21:E05: Runaway - Welcome to a new episode of Pick Six Movies featuring our ongoing look at movies based on the works of Michael Crichton.

S21E03: Timeline - As we reach the midpoint of the season, we ask ourselves, how boring can a Michael Crichton adaptation be? Well, have you seen Timeline?

S21E02: Westworld - Now that we’ve got all that Congo monkey business behind us, it’s time to look ahead… far ahead into the near future for episode 2 of our Crichton the Middle with You season for the next film… Westworld!

S21E01: Congo - We kick off Season 21 of Pick Six Movies with a brand new theme all about a beloved author whose work has brought countless thrills and chills, from dinosaurs to reverse sexism, from killer robots to reverse sexism… We’re talking about Michael Crichton, of course! In episode one, we are traveling to the volcanic realm […]
S20E06: The Lone Ranger - Welcome to the season 20 finale of Pick Six Movies! I wish we could say we were saving the best for last, but in a season called “Bombs Away!,” it’s really all pretty bad. Especially when we’re talking about The Lone Ranger. Get ready for bad framing devices, questionable casting decisions, too many villains, and […]
S20E05: R.I.P.D. - No season called Bomb’s Away! would be complete without a look at the just-awful R.I.P.D. How did this movie fail when all the ideas it stole work so well in other movies? Is this the film where Jeff Bridges completed his transformation into an unintelligible codger? And is Ryan Reynolds the worst cop ever? All this and more on […]
S20E4: Gigli - We’re rounding the bend on Season 20 of Pick Six Movies, and we are tackling the infamous box office bomb Gigli, perfect for our season’s theme of Bomb’s Away!

S20E03: John Carter - What happens when Disney takes a crack at adapting a seminal sci-fi fantasy series for the big screen? Why, John Carter, that’s what! It’s filled with too much exposition, completely abandoned plot threads, and a bunch of nonsense that has Chad fuming. You won’t want to miss this one! 00:00:00 – 00:01:45 – Chad’s Opening00:01:46 – […]
20E02: Mars Needs Moms - On our second episode of Season 20, your Pick Six Movies heroes head to mars for a truly terrible animated feature, Mars Needs Moms.

S20:E1: Cutthroat Island - It’s a new season of Pick Six Movies we call Bombs Away, a sextet of movies that made a splash thanks to being giant disappointments.

It’s more carbon copy capers with Season 19 of Pick Six Movies, […]
S19: E3: Cliffhanger - We’re knee-deep in a new season of Pick Six movie, a season we call Die Hard-ons, on account of this collection of six movies being a rip-off of the excellent Die Hard. In this case, we are tacking the decidedly non-excellent mountain climbing adventure Cliffhanger! It’s good bad villains, dopey plotting, nonsensical stunts, and a pesky wabbit. […]
S19: E2: Speed 2: Cruise Control - We’re hitting the high seas with episode 2 in our season of Die Hard-inspired action films we call Die Hard-ons!

And is Sandra Bullock in the Crazy Girlfriend Hall of Fame? Join […]
S19: E1: Under Siege 2: Dark Territory - It’s new season time at Pick Six Movies, and we’re celebrating with a train trip in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

And how shameless is this spin on the Die Hard formula? And how bad is […]

S18: E2: While You Were Sleeping - Ah, Christmas! A time for romance, and for podcasts that make fun of romantic comedies. We investigate the delightful misunderstandings that surround that most classic of romantic tropes – comas – and the grifters that swirl around the victims of said comas. It’s While You Were Sleeping on another Christmas-adjacent movie in Season 18 of […]
S18: E1: The Gingerdead Man - It’s time for a brand-new season of Pick Six Movies, and we’re kicking off season 18 with a real bang! This season, we’re calling it “Christmastime Is Here, “is all about movies that are more Christmas-adjacent than actual Christmas movies.

S17: E6: Faust: Love of the Damned - Something we say a lot around Pick Six Movies HQ is “This is the worst movie we’ve ever done.” But, seriously, Faust: Love of the Damned is the worst movie we’ve ever done.

S17: E5: Jonah Hex - Well howdy, pardners! It’s the penultimate episode of Season 17 of Pick Six Movies, a movie so short, you know it’s got to be good.

This time, we’re offering you a flaming […]
S17: E1: Howard the Duck - Here at Pick Six Movies, we throw around phrases like “worst movie we ever saw” a lot. This is one of those rare occasions that we might be right about this being awful.

S16: E6: Jaws 3-D - Jaws 3-D is like Jaws but in 3-D and it’s terrible. Which makes it a perfect season finale for the six Jaws knock-off movies featured this season.

S15: E6: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Season 15 comes to its slam-bang conclusion with the ill-advised adaptation of The Beatles’ masterpiece Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

It’s like a fever dream, but we assure […]
S15: E5: From Justin to Kelly - Season Fifteen takes a look at American Idol winners Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini and the ill-advised movie they starred in, From Justin to Kelly.

S14: E1: A Very Nutty Christmas - A Very Nutty Christmas kicks off season 14 with Melissa Joan Hart playing a former investment banker turned bakery owner in a small town who finds love over the holidays when a nutcracker comes to life.

S12: E5: Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood (1996) - Dennis Miller and Angie Everheart headline the frightfully delightful and terribly campy “Tales from the Crypt presents: Bordello of Blood”.
