The Film Thugs Movie Show

Someone, I believe it was Plato, once said, "Never work with children or animals," I believe the original quote was longer, but it trails off into a very racist diatribe, so I'm just going with the first part. This week we (sort of) discuss people who didn't follow this rule. That's right, we are (sort of) discussing the best and the worst animals in movies. In addition, Jim changes his shirt at least twice, we discuss having a child step in your testicles, and Jim breaks Clarkson's spirit in an off air clip and makes a bold offer to anyone who can figure the statement out. Tweet your best guesses to us with #sewertale and we will read them on the air. Speaking of being read on the air, we are working on a new show idea. Here it is... Email any and all questions you have about anything, and we do mean ANYTHING to thugquestions@gmail.com. Hunter from the Midnight Movie Cowboys will check that address and compile a list of the best questions. He will then forward them to us and we will answer them SIGHT UNSEEN on the show. We need about 20 or so, so get on the stick. This will be a completely free form show, dictated by questions, and all responses will be genuine. Repeat, we will not hear these questions until we get the e-mail from Hunter the day of the recording, and we won't read them until the show starts. So remember, e-mail any query about any subject to thugquestions@gmail.com and help us make an amazing show for you people! Oh, we also announce the winner of our Summer Movie League, and Jim explains why he hasn't sent the prize yet.

Hollywood is rife with urban myths, legends, curses, and outright falsehoods. This week we decided to take a look at some of the most notable, interesting, and strange ones and marvel at the amount of easily disprovable nonsense people tend to believe. We also dive headlong into the surprisingly diverse world of candy corn, discuss possible Kardashian career moves, and finally answer the question, "why would one need to shave a pumpkin?" All this week on an exciting new episode of... The Film Thugs!

This week we decided to take a look at some of our favorite performances of all time. Not necessarily the best, but the ones we love the most. These people work hard, damn it!!! We also discuss the merits of cucumber flavored beverages, the different types of pumpkin beers, and much, much more.

Is there anything in the world cooler than being a con artist? Well, a movie con artist, at least. Think about it. You wear cool clothes, go to cool places, take money from people who deserve it, and live a pretty exciting, freewheeling lifestyle of comfort and leisure. Just writing about it makes me want to start breaking some laws. This week we take a look at some of the best, and most memorable movie con men and try to figure out what separates the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. We also discuss exposed fruit meat, a new business venture for Richard Gere, and why our significant others don't really need to listen to the show.

We really went into this with the best of intentions. We did. Tony Scott is one of those filmmakers who really defined a big chunk of our childhoods. Many of his films are absolute classics of their genres and and hold incredible sentimental value for every film fan who grew up in the 80's. But, you must remember that this is The Film Thugs, and though we hold Mr. Scott in the utmost esteem... we are first and foremost a pair of jabbering, braying jackasses who lack anything that could reasonably be identified as an "attention span." So, join us as we say farewell to one of the great ones... and discuss pizza, filthy barns, asinine hygiene rituals, public domain celebrity images, awful celebrity look a likes, and a veritable host of other things that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the late great Tony Scott.
