Jason Squared

Lionsgate Pictures and Saban Brands have official announced a new Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers movie, a reboot to the original show premise of Dinozords and Rita Repulsa (presumably). The Jasons discuss whether this is a good idea and what other 90s nostalgia properties can be remade for a quick buck.

  It somewhat of a “Does This Hold Up?” double feature, the Jasons watch Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, and 12 Monkeys.

It's official, we get to spend the next several years watching Zack Snyder vs. The DC Universe.

It's Round 7 of the Terrible Movie Throwdown, and LBJ retaliates with Toys (1992), the Robin Williams "movie" about grown men and children's toys. The Jasons discuss the nonsensical tone, the attempt to be a whimsical French comedy as a mid-budget Hollywood star vehicle, the dark and weird overtones for a family movie, the lack of logic in anything that happens ever, the creation (and accidental endorsement) of drone warfare, and more!   This episode is sponsored by Audible!

Practical stunt driving, Arron Paul playing a character that doesn’t say “bitch”, and a long running gag about flying a helicopter. The Jasons have a need… a Need for Speed. Or, at least, a podcast about the film adaptation of the "Need For Speed" video game franchise.

Happy St. Patty's Day! That means it's time for more Holiday Horror movies! To celebrate the day of green beer and partying, the Jasons watch a trio of terrible Leprechuan sequels: Leprechaun in Vegas, Leprechaun in Space, and Leprechaun in Da Hood!

It's Round 6 of the Terrible Movie Throwdown, and Superbuddy throws out a doozy: the Dungeons & Dragons movie! The Jasons discuss the real D&D game, fantasy archetypes, whether overacting really can hurt a picture or not (this time, it can and did), terrible special effects, political intrigue... or lack thereof, and how the bad guy's henchman is actually the hero of the whole thing!   This episode is sponsored by Audible!

  What do the Jasons, Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch, and the worst intro in Jason Squared podcast history all have in common? Elementary, my dear listener... it's the BBC Sherlock episode.

Robcop (2014) is... better then you might expect. The Jasons discuss the reasons why, where it succeeds, where it fails, and how it works compared to its source material (Robocop '87).

Did you think we where done with Holiday themed horror movies? Of course not! Just in time for the Hallmark Holiday, it’s our Remake Roundup for My Bloody Valentine.

Excellent! It's time once again to ask the question, "Does This Hold Up?" Time-travel with your most triumphant hosts, the Jasons Squared, back to the late 80's and early 90's to revisit a pair of most bodacious films: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)! No way! 

It's back - the Terrible Movie Throwdown! It's LBJ's turn, and he tosses out a movie which seems to come from a parallel universe, the terrible toy adaptation Masters of the Universe (1987). They discuss Dolph Lundgren's disappointing turn as He-Man, Frank Langella's awesome turn as Skeletor, whether this works as an adaptation - especially for the kids of the 80s, 'homage' vs. theft, Gwildor vs. Orko, visiting the Land of Cheaper Shooting Locations, why are we spending so much time with Courtney Cox?, production woes, whether this is secretly the best Jack Kirby film ever, and more!
