S08E14: Die Hard
For the first time in 2022 we let a fox in the fully populated hen house and are rewarded with a nearly four and a half hour podcast. This is a big one. This is Die Hard, bitch! Is there any way that a seminal film from 1988 doesn't hold up? What is a wobbly H? What are the best healthcare options for the self employed? This and so much more...

S08E13: Battle Beyond the Stars
This ain't your parent Star Wars. It ain't Star Wars at all. Some magical connections of parallel thinking happen. Can a ballsack save a planet? A lot of Frankensteining in the middle of the episode, see if you can tell where. Our Xmas episode is announced and is the end of the podcast upon us. Listen to find out.

S08E12: Death Wish II
Bronson is back to kill more bad guys. Matt is back to kill more ear drums. Short podcast. Really short. Happy Thanksgiving y'all
01:48:37
27/11/2022
S08E11: Highlander
Matt is concussed and smells. Doug gets probed. We talk about being immortal. The show gets called out by a new listener. Absolutely no one will notice, but no lobby breaks in this film. Best high movie going experiences and other stuff are discussed along with actually talking about the movie.
02:51:56
21/11/2022
S08E10: The Karate Kid Part II
Matt gets sad. Both Matt and Doug try to avoid caricatures though the movie leans into them. A decision is made about Star Wars films. All that and the realization that the show has come down to talking about the weather.
02:38:48
13/11/2022
S08E09: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
A sequel that isn't part of Matt's season of sequels. A precious. A movie that should stand the test of time. Does it? Matt continues to bitch about having to make glasses and Doug talks about someone getting all up in his ass. All this and much more in a podcast that is much shorter than expected.
03:29:46
06/11/2022
S08E08: Avenging Angel
Bug killer and transponster by day, Hollywood hookers by night. Matt and Doug was through the filth of 80s Hollywood Blvd. to see if a hooker can reform her ways. A podcast that is on the shorter side, which is sad because it is disrespectful to the source material. Matt screws up. Matt deals with depression. Doug complains for about two hours. Oscar caliber acting and writing. You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll ask why this podcast isn't behind a Patreon or onlyfans paywall. No matter what you can't stop Avenging Angel.
02:02:23
25/10/2022
S08E07: House
Back to a regular movie and hopefully back to a sub four hour podcast. Can the greatest American hero carry a horror comedy? Does this movie have legs? Does Doug have a veto remaining? Will we ever get out of the clip segment at the beginning of the podcast? Listen and find out....
02:26:16

Nuffy Looking Scerf Herders Episode 8: Return of the Jedi
After multiple weeks Doug returns to the fold and we discuss the final episode of the original trilogy. Will it hold up? Will they bring it? Will anybody be called a cuck? All that and more will be answered in a super sized episode.
04:04:35
16/10/2022
Betamax Returns Episode 3: Pretty in Pink
Jen returns for the movie Doug said he would quit the podcast over Matt selecting. Matt laments how he is Duckie and Jen tells him to quit being a bitch. That, plus stories of high-school homecoming and prom as we revisit a classic Matt had never seen before.
02:26:55
02/10/2022
S08E04: Beverly Hills Cop II
Is it an good movie? Is it a good sequel? Is it Eddie just being Eddie? None of these answers discount the others. Find out as we take a deep dive in Axel Foley returning to the sun kissed environment of Beverly Hills for a second time.
02:44:04
26/09/2022
S08E03: Always
A tear jerker. A hopeful film. A Doug film. Like they say...it is what it is. Always
03:16:06
19/09/2022
S08E02: Loose Screws
This podcast is under two hours and like the movie it talks about, that time includes a lot of pad. Doug disappears at the end. See if you can tell. The movie, like the podcast is what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else.
01:52:46
09/09/2022
S08E01: Alien Nation
Season 8. By now you really don't care what is written here. A movie that tries to carry deep themes. A new segment is introduced. Doug's season of whatever the hell I feel like starts. Way longer than expected. Is it good? Only you can say. Take a listen...
02:43:49
02/09/2022
S07E25: American Pie
You never forget your first piece. You also won't forget this tour de force of podcast mastery as Matt and Doug talk about coming of age, losing your V-card, and is it okay to not let someone know it's about time.
03:48:03
26/08/2022
S07E24: Operation Petticoat
Our first (and possibly last) movie from the 50s. Def. a throwback film to a different age. What happens when women are brought aboard a sub? What happens when Matt can't get the hardware to work? All this and more...plus a disagreement (actually multiple at the end) as we go under the sea for:
02:29:44
14/08/2022
Nuffy Looking Scerf Herders Episode 7: The Empire Strikes Back
The GOAT. Nearly four hours. Empire. Nothing else needs to be said.
03:58:21
07/08/2022
S07E22: Rivercast 3: The Search for...
We're back at the cabin and getting as much assistance as usual from our friends. Weird occurences at the Shangri-La. War movies. Doug changes his mind and back tracks. All that and more on a longer than usual Rivercast.
01:02:27
01/08/2022
S07E21: Sixteen Candles
Matt and Doug transverse the difficult minefield of a movie that is both incredibly racist and at times very touching. Would the hot guy leave his hot girlfriend for a meh girl? Would the prom queen end up with the geek? What song will be ruined this week? You'll have to listen to find out.
02:49:54
21/07/2022
S07E20: Southern Comfort
Matt and Doug reach around and try to find their way out of the swamp of podcasting madness as they take a deep dive in Doug's final season of war film from the 80s. Will anyone survive. Will their be banjos? Listen to the podcast with the most deleted audio of all podcast they've been done to date.
02:27:18
14/07/2022
S07E19: Little Darlings
Matt and Doug finally return to the podcast realm. They talk about the differences between men and women losing their virginity, Doug's sweater, Matt's underwear, Matt not understanding birth control. You know, the classics. A little rough around the edges since it's been a hot minute, but I think it scratches that itch. A not great film that has some great insight into the human condition and what it means to grow up.
02:33:59
07/07/2022
S07E18: Empire of the Sun
It takes over a hundred movies, but we finally get to our first Spielberg film. And it is one of his lesser known films. That doesn't mean it is lesser quality. A young Christian Bale yells at the production staff in a World War II coming of age film. We're back post Covid and during Little League season.
02:16:41
23/06/2022
Nuffy Looking Scerf Herders Episode 6: Star Wars

02:50:27
02/06/2022
S07E15: Adventures in Babysitting
A thin movie reviewed by two unthin guys. Will it hold up? Is it worth watching? Listen and find out.
02:05:25
29/05/2022
S07E14: Predator
Anniversaries, aliens, birthdays, bad impressions, what more could you ask for? A strangely Arnold light Arnold movie as he flexes his muscles to become the movie star that was his destiny as we look at...
02:28:27
22/05/2022
S07E13: Just One of the Guys
Matt stinks...and not just in a podcast way. The guys go deep on a film with little depth and try to talk about stuff that can't be talked about today. Doug nurses a hangover and tries to power through. Plus Joyce Hyser was the shit back in the day.
02:26:43
16/05/2022
S07E12: The Big Red One
Doug's season of war continues. Matt actually knows something about WW2 that Doug doesn't. We talk about frozen asses. Really what more can you want from a podcast?
03:10:52
09/05/2022
Nuffy Looking Scerf Herders Episode 5: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Somehow the Star Wars podcasts have gone from 1:30 to 3:30. Take a deep dive into what is pretty much universally seen as the best of the Mouse House Star Wars films. Ethics of War. Getting Old. And a bunch of other crap.
03:39:56
01/05/2022
Betamax Returns Episode 1: Dirty Dancing (video version)
Early veto Dirty Dancing gets brought back into the fold with a different co-host. Wife of show Jen joins the fold for the first ever video podcast.
01:59:24
24/04/2022
Betamax Returns: Dirty Dancing
Just cause a movie gets vetoed, doesn't mean it can't be discussed. Friend of the show Jen joins Matt to talk about grinding with strangers in smoky bars.
01:59:17
24/04/2022
S07E09: Heathers
Heathers. Uh, uh, Heathers. A brilliant film...or not. A movie with a lot depth and a lot to say...or not. It's a deep dive into high school, death, suicide, lamenting the loss of youth and a bunch of other crap. Warning this is very much a Matt podcast and is extremely clip heavy.
03:23:38
22/04/2022
S07E08: Gallipoli
Just cause you can't say it, doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it...or does it? This episode is all over the place and way longer than expected. Still, I think it has its moments.
03:22:47
15/04/2022
S07E07: Teen Wolf
Are you built for speed or built for the long haul? Matt and Doug look at the other Michael J Fox film from this time that isn't nearly as impactful as Back to the Future. Is it a good movie? Is it worth the watch? Boof or Pam? Listen and find out.
02:24:35
07/04/2022
S07E06: Taps
Lots of up an coming actors up and coming. When you reach adulthood it is time to put away childish things. Fortunately Matt and Doug haven't reached adulthood yet. A tour de force movie that is really solid across the board.
03:13:08
01/04/2022
Nuffy Looking Scerf Herders Episode 4: Solo: A Star Wars Story
Solo. Is it a movie that had to be made? No. Is it a movie that should have been made? No. Is it a good movie? Well, you have to listen to find that little bit out.
02:55:43
27/03/2022
S07E04: Class
What is more wholesome than a movie about a guy who has sex with his best friend's mom. Well, basically everything is, but what can you do? Matt and Doug take a stab at another coming of age film and Matt tries to conquer something he said he couldn't do.
02:44:47
18/03/2022
S07E03: Under Fire
The season of war continues. You still can't pump your own gas in NJ. Matt only has one movie clip All this, plus more...
02:34:26
11/03/2022
S07E02: Mischief
Take a look back at the innocence of mid America in the 50s, when the hair was greasy, the cars were metal, and the bushes were huge. This movie serves as a counterweight to the season of war, kind of mirroring the loss of innocence with the absence of innocence...or vice versa. All that plus a new segment is introduced as Matt and Doug take a look at the mirth and charm of Mischief...
03:21:49
06/03/2022
S07E01: Biloxi Blues
Doug's season of war starts. Matt's season of disappointment starts. Walken is back and so are the impressions. Plus we tackle some difficult and serious issues. It's weird. The first hour is not great, but we actually get into some deep and meaningful stuff beyond that. Push through the chaff to get to the wheat. Note: there are some audio issues, but they are all Doug's fault
03:16:03
25/02/2022
S06E18: Point Break
We end season six on the sixth Swayze movie. Point Break. It's like this podcast. It ain't art, bit damn if it ain't entertaining.
02:33:43
18/02/2022
S06E17: The Eagle Has Landed
A star-studded cast in a spectacular entertainment vehicle...and that's just the podcast. But seriously Matt and Doug take a look at the WWII kidnapping film The Eagle Has Landed. Will it live up to Doug's hype? Will Matt say anything? It this another Platoon redux podcast? That plus Matt's pic for the end of season 6 is a laughter filled extravaganza. I just settled all my lawsuits, so fuck you Ricky. Said with love.
03:23:32
13/02/2022
S06E16: Young Guns Supplemental
Matt and Doug get together briefly to make up for some stuff missed on The Young Guns podcast. Three segments: Who did it better (from Untouchables) Whatca watching (About the last episode of The Book of Boba Fett) Next weeks movie (Doug explains why it has changed)
25:40
08/02/2022
S06E15: Young Guns
What happens when you rush to get something done more than a day before you expect? You get a podcast of this quality. We talk about what's going on in the world, what it would be like to be in the old west, and the podcast gets a post season 6 outlook. All this plus Ricky doesn't apologize to Matt for insulting him. Also. Are there any Star Wars super fans out there? If you'd like to possibly appear on the revamped Nuffy Looking Scerf Herders podcast let us know at
[email protected]

How silky is Kevin Costner? Does the movie hold up to high expectations? Can we keep it under three hours? All those, plus more in the latest episode.
03:12:59
30/01/2022
S06E13: Staying Alive
We might seem like we're running out of steam, but we are far from over. This week Matt and Doug take on a sequel to a much beloved film. We talk about anti-heroes a bit, Matt uses auto-tune, and the podcast receives some honest feedback. Plus a late bet causes someone to lose a sawbuck.
02:41:41
22/01/2022
S06E12: Enemy Mine
We bzzt and click and whatever through a movie that is way more in-depth than you'd expect it to be. Sometimes movies transcend genres. Several years removed can Matt get promoted to the starting line-up or does he still get stuck seating guests. Plus next week's movie selection is a Kobayashi Maru scenario for Doug.
02:42:37
16/01/2022
S06E11: Against All Odds
How could you just let me walk away...let me leave without a trace? Matt and Doug get busy in the sweatlodge of 80s film noir remake Against All Odds. Does it work? Is it sexy? Which is better, modern or classic porn? All these questions will be answered. Recorded, edited and posted in 3:20. Faster than usual.
02:37:55
09/01/2022
S06E10: The Beast
Back to war. Back again. Doug is back. Tell a friend. We talk about Russian war is the forgotten move The Beast. How a movie with very little English can go this long is a mystery.
03:01:43
02/01/2022
S06E09: Blue Thunder
Matt and Doug get back under the three hour barrier. They talk about Christmas and Matt opens a package. There is a special guest at the top of the show. Plus discussion about Blue Thunder
