Pick Six Movies is a movie podcast where each season we select six movies, all related to a single theme. We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good.
Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh.
S26E06: Five Nights at Freddy’s
It’s season finale time here on Pick Six Movies and we’re pulling out all the stops! We’re doing the newest movie we’ve ever done – Five Nights at Freddy’s – and welcoming back old pals like Pick Six Bot and Back to the Future references. We discuss the convoluted lore, the sloppy script, and dabble in the realm of simulations. Join us, won’t you?

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!

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 it sounds. Let’s ask the burning questions: Is Sean Bean too handsome to be a hitcher? How much can one girl poop? And how does this movie make every bad decision it can?

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 appreciation.

All your favorites are back, including big sis Cathy, her boyfriend-brother Chris, their not-dead-yet little sister Carrie, and the corpse of their dead little brother Cory. Crazy mom and crazy grandma are back to scream and be insane, too! It’s wackier and weirder than the first time around in this classic Lifetime Movie that one of us loves and the other was intensely creeped out by…

Can a psychological thriller be wrapped up to look like a charming Christmas tale of fate, serendipity, and romance? Yes it can, and it’s Dear Santa, the third of six made for the Lifetime TV network movies in this season’s theme “Once in a Lifetime.” This movie has snow plows, wedding rings, mail theft, New York in Canada, closeted straight men pretending to be gay, and the most devious character since William Shakespeare gave life to Iago. This movie is one of the craziest Christmas movies you will ever see and it’s a whole lot of fun.

Who would think an internet meme could make a great Christmas movie? Apparently nobody. And this movie proves it. Grumpy Cat is the sour puss that launched a million snarky memes and stars in her first and only movie, that was showcased on the Lifetime Network, landing in the #2 episode of the season’s theme “Once in a Lifetime” that features 6 Lifetime made for TV movies. Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever is a mash up of ill conceived ideas, poorly written dialogue, low production values and bad editing. Exactly the kind of movie we love to discuss on Pick Six Movies.

It’s a lot like the movie Elf only more terrible. But don’t worry, a thin plot filled with under-developed characters accompanied by poor audio, passable editing all work to stick the landing of the plot where (Spoilers!) the heroine is still alone at Christmas.

This movie has ice lairs, space lasers, sword fights, invisible cars, high tech rings, laser watches, exploding planes and somehow manages to underwhelm.

Bond plays blackjack over baccarat, drinks a Budweiser over a vodka martini and trades in the Aston Martin for an 18-wheeler.

This movie plays all the hits, “I’ll Be Back”, “Come With Me if You Want to (Live)” and “(Gimme’ Your Clothes Cuz’) I Time Travel Naked”. It’s everything you want in a Terminator movie, only disappointing. This episode is proudly presented in STEREO because that’s an option. Special thanks to Matti Viisainen who provided the acapella Terminator theme used in the show open. His incredible work was the glue that pulled the whole show open together.

“Conan the Barbarian” wraps up this season of remakes and reboots. There’s a lot to unpack in this tale of warriors, witches, swords, revenge, hookahs, Coors Light, hot wings and the Edgar Winter Group rock classic “”Frankenstein”.  Let’s do this Bro!

S8: Episode 5: The Wicker Man (2006)
Nicolas Cage stars in “The Wicker Man” remake from 2006. This movie is a psychological crime thriller set in a modern day utopia where filmmakers deem it appropriate to have their heroic male lead beat up not one, not two, but three women in this movie. This movie is a crazy mess of misogyny, misdirection, and misguided efforts to remake a movie nobody wanted to see get remade.

S8: Episode 4: Fantastic Four (2015)
“Fantastic Four” is the 4th episode of this season’s theme “Not That One, This One” where we are taking on nothing but remakes and reboots. This film does a an amazing job over making sure to never put the Fantastic Four together all at once until the last 10 minutes of the movie. We know, it’s not very good. Just the kind of movie that makes this show come alive.

S8: Episode 3: Poltergeist (2015)
The remake of “Poltergeist” gets us to the half way point of this season’s theme, “Not That One, This One”. It’s a truly amazing film in its ability to underwhelm audiences in all new and unexpected ways. In this episode we try to answer who really directed the original “Poltergeist” and keep forgetting that a remake was produced, even though that’s the movie we’re discussing. Strange indeed.Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jane Adams and Jared Harris all star in a remake of a 1980’s horror classic. That was a good movie and is why this show’s intro is all about the good one. So give a listen and enjoy the delightful train-wreck of a movie, “Poltergeist”. (Not that one, this one)

Paul Giamatti shows up to trade slaves and sell drugs. Michael Clarke Duncan and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa are friends who become enemies, only to become enemies who become friends. Rick Baker ups his game from our last episode and delivers some outstanding ape costumes. But alas, the movie kind of stinks. Bad for them, good for you and me.

Well wonder no more! “Memoirs of an Invisible Man” continues this season’s theme of “Monsters Are Universal”. It’s not a comedy. It’s not a thriller. But it is a mess. Darryl Hannah is the lovely female lead. Sam Neil is our bad guy. Steven Tobolowski is our ray of sunshine. Michael McKean and Patricia Heaton have beach sex with their clothes on. There are some things you can’t un-see, even when they are invisible. This movie is one of those things. It’s pretty bad, but we had a lot of fun talking about it.

This final installment follows human bobble heads Steve and Doug Butabi, played by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, through a series of poorly constructed and ultimately confusing series of events that culminates with the films credits. In short, it’s not a very good movie. But we had a lot of fun discussing the misadventures of these two dry humping, night clubbing brothers. There are M. Emmet Walsh impressions, rampant love for Molly Shannon, and the (welcome) return of Leon Phelps, who has plenty to say about these two dimwits. As always, we thank you for checking out the show!

It’s fitting that “The End” caps off Season 1 where we explored the films of Turd Ferguson. This movie comes to represent all we know and love about Burt Reynolds movies in every good way and every bad way. It’s a dark comedy that’s neither dark, nor arguably a comedy. It’s tonal mosaic of a poorly constructed narrative wrapped around a narcissistic protagonist. And did we mention Mr. Reynolds not only stars but directs as well?
