Movies Vs. Humans 5 - Whom The Gods Destroy is...
Did you miss us? We missed you! After a long winter’s nap, Nate and I are back with another installment of Movies Vs. Humans! Check back for more details later this month, but for now, we are excited to announce… OUR FEATURE SELECTION: Filmmaker Andy Sidaris loved 3 things - guns, boobs, and remote controlled helicopters. He used all 3 to spectacularly baffling effect in his 1987...

T-minus one day until MvH 4!
We are T-minus one day until showtime, and we thought we’d tide you over by showing you something from the sequel to Bronx Warriors, entitled Escape From the Bronx. You can bet that we’ll be taking a good hard look at this movie as well for a future show.
Here’s two different instances of large vehicles being exploded by inappropriately small amounts of firepower. A huge van...
Announcing the guests for Movies vs. Humans 4!
We’re happy to announce the two terrific guests who are going to be joining us onstage on January 27th to help us deconstruct 1990: The Bronx Warriors.
We will be joined on that evening by veteran sketch comedian and fellow bad movie buff Chris O’ Connor (Fearsome, The Burg, Trophy Dad), as well as exemplary improviser and bassist Jeremy Bent (Thank You Robot, Daddy.)
That show gets...
Announcing Movies vs. Humans 4!
Yeah, that’s right, we had to cancel Movies vs. Humans 3 because of a problem. (the problem was that we had an issue. (the issue was that we had a difficulty.))
But we’re ready to kick off the new year with a new MvH!
This month’s movie comes from 1982, and combines three of our favorite ingredients:
English language movies made by a director and crew who didn’t know...

Movies vs. Humans 3: Now with more lasers!
Hope you guys are still planning to come to our next Movies vs. Humans show!
This is going to be a very special show in honor of the season, but in light of what happened last time we did an MvH show, we thought we’d try being a little bit more cryptic about what movie we’ll be showing.
Anyway, that show is going to be Tuesday, December 8th, at 9:30, and the movie in question will be...
Turns out we were kidding and playing.
Well, many thanks to everybody who came to the second Movies vs. Humans show! It wasn’t the show we planned, but it was a terrific and intimate time!
See, for those of you who don’t know, we found out Thursday afternoon, to our dismay, that our plans to screen Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Hausu was in direct conflict with the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s plans to screen Hausu a...

MvH2 Tonight! No kidding! No playing!
Tonight is going to be a different kind of House party than the kind of House Party that was in the movies House Party, House Party 2, House Party 3, and House Party 4.
This is the kind of House Party only found in the movie Hausu, and we need your attendance if we’re going to make this party as big as the parties that were in the houses that were in those other movies.
Seriously, though,...

Code of Conduct for this Thursday's Movies vs....
Ladies and gentlemen, the next Movies vs. Humans show is coming up really soon. Hausu is a very fantastical and trippy movie, so I want to make one thing plain and ambiguous about how you folks should act when you come to see it:
Don’t not not not not come in an altered state, because that would be SO MUCH FUN IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL, and I am not allowed to encourage such behavior. So let me...
We have guests!
We are super psyched to announce the special guests for Movies vs. Humans, show 2!
Just to remind, that show will be Thursday, October 29th, at 9:30, at the Creek.
Joining us to get mindboggled by the movie Hausu will be two of the funniest people we know, who should be well-known to anybody who follows New York’s improv scene.
It’s Mike Still (Badman, A Week of Kindness), and Adam...

So now that Movies vs. Humans has the beginnings of a website, let’s rap. Part of what we’re hoping to create with this show is a community of bad movie enthusiasts.
You see, at least once or twice a month, Matt and I will get together to enjoy one of these terrible films,...
