Movie Dumpster

Welcome to our first ever live event!

Trashing Through the Snow comes to a close this year with loving impressions of Phil Hartman and slightly better than Mortal Kombat 11 impressions of Schwarzenegger! When Howard ‘Howitzer’ Langston forgets to buy his son Jamie the hottest Christmas boutique gift item, a Turboman action figure, he sets out on Christmas Eve to obtain the unobtainable toy. Now he must battle his way through rampaging shoppers, cackling clerks, the Santa Cartel, Phil Hartman’s invasive security system, and even the T-1000 hot on his trail! Can Howard fulfill his son's Christmas wish with the odds stacked against him, or will unhinged mail carrier Sinbad be his undoing? The Dark Side of the Force™ is strong with this one! We’re also adopting some MDU monsters, ending the debate on eggnog vs boiled custard once and for all, and exchanging gifts at the Wizards’ Castle. So stop petting Ted and put that cookie down because we’re jetpacking into Jingle All the Way!Joining us is special guest, Justin Silverman!Support the show (htt

A week before Christmas in the backwater town of Snowmonton, serial killer Jack Frost is chemically merged with snow in a freak accident engineered by John Hurt’s minion Cumdar. Vowing revenge on the man who captured him, lovable loser Sheriff Sam Tiler, Jack is reborn as one Bad Mr. Frosty™! With the help of his deranged son Ryan’s antifreeze oatmeal and general store owner/local sidewalk salter Mr. ‘I’ll Give it to you 20% Off’ Paul, maybe (just maybe), Sheriff Sam can take down the homicidal snowman once and for all! Shannon Elizabeth makes her film debut in this sleazy, dark comedy that also features an Andrienne Barbeau stand-in that we fell in love with, as well as two cops that are simply in love. We’re also talking our favorite holiday films and monsters, looking back on the unforgettable VHS box art for this movie, and giving our favorite horror franchises holiday themed sequels! So plug in your hairdryer, fire up those aerosol cans, and aim for the puddle of water coming through the door, because we

‘Zat you, Santa Goldberg? Well, the alternate timeline version anyway! Whoopi joins the Movie Dumpster Universe in a splintered, yuletide excursion that can’t help but rip-off other, better Christmas movies. Goldberg plays a malcontent, home shopping network executive producer that hasn’t had the Christmas spirit since her father was sent home in a gift wrapped box from Vietnam during the holidays. Her career is upended when a man claiming to be the real Santa reveals that unless she takes up his mantle, the world will literally end! We’re talking T-Day, global warming, Bruce Davison and John Hurt living together–MASS HYSTERIA! Are you filled with joy yet? We also decide what fantastical insect we’re stuffing Clint Howard with this week, what powers we would ask Saint Nick for, our favorite and trashiest gifts, and inserting zombies all over the MDU. So don’t forget your vanilla latte, hang on to that gift receipt for Jackpot Santa, and watch out for the extra dimensional being known as ‘Ralph’ because we’re

The stockings are hung on the mantle, the tree is trimmed, and the sugar cookies are in the oven! Trashing Through the Snow officially begins with one of the most pants-crapping insane holiday movies we've seen so far. Booze hound toy maker Joe Petto played by Mickey Rooney is trying to ruin Christmas by creating killer toys. Little Derek, his mother Sarah and the returning DISCIPLINER™ might be the only ones who can put a stop to it. And don’t even let us start on Petto’s "totally not a creepy automaton" son named Pino...don’t overthink it. Get ready for several nonsensical red herrings and a Santa-sized sack full of bizarre creative choices! We’re also talking about movies that shaped our childhoods, pairing up MDU characters in potential buddy cop movies, and thinking back to those gift requests that got away. So climb out of Dr. Freudstein’s basement, stalk your long-lost lover from the shadows, and power-up that Larry the Larvae for a good time, because things are about to get really uncom

Happy Thanksgiving, Dumpster Dwellers! We’re taking a trip into Mother Goose’s book of nursery rhymes to the magical world of Toyland! A wonderful place where everyone gets along...except for the rich old villain that everyone just puts up with, Silas Barnaby. When Mother Peep gets behind on her mortgage payments, the only way to avoid being kicked out of her shoe is to come up with the money or have her daughter Little Bo Peep take Barnaby’s hand in marriage. Thankfully, she has bumbling toymakers Laurel and Hardy on the job! This undisputed classic turns 85 this year, so celebrate it with us! We’re also digging deep into listener questions, our history with the film, and talking about what we are thankful for on this very special Thanksgarbage Day. So grab your peewees, find your lost sheep, and don't let the Bogeymen in because this is Babes in Toyland aka March of the Wooden Soldiers!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

Peter Weller is a rich Wall Street businessman with a loving family, a beautiful home, and a lucrative job. All of that is uprooted when GVD’s aggressive pet rat begins a blood feud with Weller, leaving his brownstone in ruins and his mind shattered. Plagued by sleep deprivation and a drinking problem, Weller descends into madness and builds a Devon’s Ghost bat to do mortal combat with the groundhog-sized rodent. Let’s just say he isn’t using your grandma’s mouse traps! We also talk about some of our favorite albums and TV shows growing up, plus we’ve got special guest Tony from Hack the Movies returning to the show!

Our 100th episode and Trick or Trash finale Spooktacular! Ernest P. Worrell just has to pick the one tree in the Dark Forest™ that’s imprisoning an evil troll to build a hangout for the neighborhood kids. Ignoring the advice of the town witch, Eartha Kitt, Ernest unintentionally awakens the dormant troll, Trantor, releasing it to once again wreak Halloween Havoc® on the sleepy Missouri suburb of Briarville. Trantor starts turning the town’s pre-teens into tiny wooden dolls to power his Boo Berry infested Tree of Might that will breed him an army of trolls. Not even our main kid characters Kenny, Elizabeth, or Joey are safe! Now, with a little help from his dog Rimshot, Ernest must follow in the footsteps of his ancestor and take down Trantor before midnight on Halloween! We’ve got special guest Pissi Myles from My Spooky Gay Family joining us and we’re talking all things Ernest. We’re also talking about which MDU characters we would fuse, our first experiences with Ernest, and potential Ernest sequels we wish

It’s not easy being the world’s punching bag, especially when you’re 12. That is, unless you have the aid of a possessed (question mark) teddy bear to coax your unhinged thoughts into reality! Jamie is an incredibly unwell, disturbed, and perverted delinquent with an unhealthy obsession with the female form. When his 27th live-in babysitter, Sandy, begins her psychology thesis on him, his folks catch the last train for the coast while he descends deeper into his psychosis. Finally fed up with being bullied, deserted, and heartbroken, Jamie turns to his friends/pets for assistance—five...er four prehistoric ape men who’s hunger runs deeper than a king-sized chocolate bar. As the old saying goes, when life gives you Tra-la-logs, make your tormentors pay! We also discuss the battle of the century: Nick Cassavetes vs. John Hurt, which MDU child we would adopt, why people think Adam Sandler’s shtick is still funny, and the Halloween™ franchise timeline. Call an exorcist for those yellow-eyed talking teddies, grab

Listen up little Dumpster Doggies, it’s Wolfman Jack and it’s All Hallow’s Eve in the sleepy New England town of Pitchford Cove—the perfect day of the year to recite an ancient curse that brings back the dead! Because that’s never gone poorly. Shari Belfaonte accidentally resurrects a graveyard of party-going zombies, a couple of hungry werewolves, and her great-great-great-great grandmother, Lucinda Cavender, who just so happens to be a witch and a vampire. Ghosts, ghouls, and everything in-between take over the town and the only way to fix things is to complete a ritual before the clock strikes 12! LeVar Burton finally returns to the MDU and Munchie’s son...joins it? Plus, we give our picks for MDU kharacters and their fatalities to join the Mortal Kombat roster! So put on some Tooty Fruity lipstick, get cock-blocked by The Wolfman™, and watch out for drunk-driving zombie Kevin McCarthy, 'cause we’re sealing this date with a kiss at The Midnight Hour!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumps

Trick or Trash is back and ready to fill up your treat bags, Dumpster Dwellers! Dougie Whooly is a 9-year-old boy with a woefully oblivious family and an unhealthy obsession with a violent video game. While wandering around town on All Hallow’s Eve, he comes across a real-life serial killer in a Satan costume (question mark), who is committing murders and staging them as lawn decorations. Dougie's ignorance and skewed view on reality are manipulated by this Satan Man and he is suddenly swooped up in a night of bloodshed that the little helper mistakes as pretend. Can Dougie's older sister Katheryn Winnick or his heavily medicated mother Amanda Plummer save him before it's too late? Who exactly is the man behind the mask? Is it the Six Flags Guy? Terry O’Quinn? Granny Van Daam?! We’re breaking this Halloween delight down for you, plus we figure out who we’d send in to save the MDU from a super-sized CharnetKong! Can Dougie's older sister and heavily medicated mother save him before it'

In a canyon town somewhere in the Midwest, Packard Walsh rules the open road with a gang of degenerates and tweakers. The literal ghost of the gang’s past begins to terrorize them, taking the form of a black clad racer with a grudge. Has one of Packard's victims returned for vengeance? Is it Emilio Estevez? Has Randy Quaid EVER been this boring?! Oh and Clint Howard’s back with a Ben 10™ device strapped to his wrist. Buckle your seat belts, because we’re hopping in John Hurt’s car and taking a trip through the speed force with special guest Arlen Harrow! Long before he was "winning", talking about having tiger blood, or committing any of the other heinous human rights violations he’s known for, Charlie Sheen was simply known as The Wraith!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

The terror of Esteban rages on! Computer programming wizard and possible super soldier Paul Bradford gets trapped in a battle for not only his soul, but also his girlfriend Gwen’s, against Satan himself aka Richard Moll. To keep things fair, the man downstairs lets Paul keep his reality bending Power Glove™ that is powered by his custom AI, the X-CaliBR8. This literal Omni-tool can not only hack an ATM, but also fire a laser on command, conjure a massive spectral dragon, and even pleasure Paul if he so chooses! The devil went down to Silicon Valley for the ultimate showdown between magic and technology. Oh, and Dungeons & Dragons...or something? We’re bringing you another movie from the Charles Band universe, with this pseudo anthology directed by some of our favorites including David Allen, John Carl Buechler, and even Peter Manoogian! We also take a deep dive into a potential MDU remake of Ghostbusters. So put on your Google Glass, call Blackie Lawless, and crank up that W.A.S.P., because we’re rolling

By the three wizards on high, by the Van Daam thirst for lust, by the most feared and notorious name, John Hurt—WE HAVE RETURNED! After his parents perish in a car accident, Clint Howard is sent away to a Catholic military school where he is bullied by Bob Pinciotti. Forced to clean the church's basement, occupied by Sarge "The Animal" Steele, Clint uncovers a hidden room which contains the instructions for a black mass to resurrect the damned soul of Richard Moll. With the powers of Hell and MS-DOS, Clint conjures the powers of darkness to consume his body and smite his enemies. We also inject Clint Howard into Marvel's Cinematic Universe, and try to fix 'Boo! A Madea Halloween' with actual monsters.

The grill is cooling off and we’re breaking out the peach cobbler and watermelon! As our GARB-BQ winds down, we’re headed back to Australia for some goopy ozploitation goodness! Let your body learn, let your body build, let your Body Melt? When "pharmaceutical" company Vimuville™ begins using the residents of Pebbles Court as lab rats for a new supplement, things start to get really gross. As the hapless civilians each take the dangerous drug through various means, their bodies begin to destroy themselves from the inside out. We've got blood, boogers and more totally unwanted bodily fluids in this stomach turning classic. We also muse about Gary Busey's favorite food, who really is the best movie villain of all time, if Vimuville is indeed a shell company for Umbrella—SPOILERS: IT IS, and our very own Dobby “The MDU Doormat” gets #swole. Joining in on the madness today is special guest, Jenna Fryer! Squeeze into your jogging suit, shoot down that fizzy vitamin drink, and crank up the Deep

Break out the macaroni and potato salad, because the hot dogs are about ready to come off the grill! The GARB-BQ continues with some Chuck E. Cheese™ nightmare fuel! Long before there were Demonic Toys or the Hugga Bunch, there existed an all-powerful creature older than time itself. Calamity followed it wherever it went, leaving countless lives destroyed and entire civilizations in ruins. Finally, the prophetic wrecking ball was sealed in a magic crate and tossed into a bottomless abyss to dwell with Lubdan and Kazaam . The immortal miscreant was meant to never be seen or heard from again...that is, until young Gage Dobson finds the box and opens it without a second thought. As a way of thanks for releasing him, Gage’s new friend uses powers beyond human comprehension to make any of Gage’s wildest dreams come true! So naturally he steals a pizza, enacts some petty revenge, and throws a party. Join us on our journey as we meet Jennifer Love Hewitt in her debut role, catch up with Bernie Lomax: ReAnimator, and

The GARB-BQ sizzles on with some frosty post-nuclear goodness! Following a nuclear apocalypse, the surviving American Market and Russian Confederation are constantly competing for resources and territory. After banning war, the next logical step for settling disputes was OBVIOUSLY through one-on-one giant mech fights! We follow the Jox, the people piloting these massive machines in mortal combat. There’s our hero Achilles, ace pilot and nine time winner, his mentor Tex, a drunk Texan with a secret (he’s not a spy though), Athena, the test tubie at the top of her class, and the Confederate pilot Alexander, a complete psychopath and Achilles’ rival. Who will walk away with the victory for their faction? Why do all the tubies have a Jedi padawan haircut? Are we all just living in the CharNatrix? Plus, we decide if any American-made mech could possibly stand up to the power of a Gundam! Heat up that singular hotdog for your whole family, pour one out for Dak Ralter, and grab a seat with the bleacher bums because

Grab yourself a cold one and throw some pork chops on the grill, Movie Dumpster's GARB-BQ has officially begun! Our first delicious morsel of the month comes straight to you from the Australian Outback. After a massive wild hog charges through his house like a fireball and eats his grandson, Jake Cullen makes it his life's work to find the aberration and destroy it. Two years later, American wildlife reporter Beth Winters arrives to investigate Toecutter's gang. Soon the beast resurfaces and only "Jesus Wept" Jake, his daughter "Oracle" Sarah, and Beth's husband "I'll Grieve When I'm Dead" Carl, can stand against not only The Acolytes, but the hulking man-eater too! We also pick our teams for a potential tornado tag match versus John Hurt, Granny Van Daam, and Daniel Baldwin. Plus, Gunnar the White gives us a breakdown of his former life in the Sawyer family, Steve Irwin and Simon Bossell stop by to say g'day, and Haggerty the Blue's brothe

A happy couple have their world destroyed when a greedy drunk attacks their home and leaves a mother dead, along with her unborn fetus. The father survives and makes the misery and death of the one who ruined his life the only thing that can satiate his vengeance...all told from the viewpoint of a killer whale! Captain Nolan played by Richard 'Dumbledore Prime' Harris tries everything in his power to avoid coming to blows with his aquatic adversary, even as the whale destroys the town around him. Bo Derek and Will Sampson also come along for the ride because our journey wouldn't be complete without a damsel in distress and a Native American stereotype! C.B.
