About
The Boob Tube Boys begin their temporary transformation into the Motion Picture Men by covering one of their very favorite bad movies. Whether you call that movie Champagne and Bullets, Road to Revenge, or GETEVEN, the story remains the same: the very weird Rick Bode pursues both a younger ex-girlfriend named Cindy and a sweet mistress named revenge.
Middle-aged buddies Rick and Huck are booted from the L.A.P.D. when their evil boss Normad turns on them. Rick rebounds by delivering a rousing song and dance performance, rekindling his old love with Cindy in the process.
Things aren’t going quite as well for the recently-divorced and always drunk Huck, who responds to his troubles by physically battling the police three times. You do not want to miss the guys’ discussion of this unbelievable ’90s treasure!
Highlights
-Normad is a very busy man
-The true “Shimmy Slide” lyrics
-Duke, the human man who loves chew toys

About
The BTBs resume coverage of Champagne and Bullets at a very inopportune time for the movie’s heroes, Rick and Huck. Normad finds out Huck has been talking shit on him and takes legal revenge, while Rick and Cindy deal the after effects of her time in a mysterious devil cult.
Champagne and Bullets is a film of many lessons. Cindy and Rick teach us about family, Huck teaches us about redemption, and Normad teach us about the value of hard work.
Brian, Van, and Spencer wax poetic about their first memories of Champagne and Bullets, what the best and worst movies have in common, and the midnight classic they’ll be talking about for the next two episodes.
Highlights
-Somehow the costumes and clothing are weirder in the second half
-Do these characters talk about drinking bleach often?
-Old man action rampage
