Synopsis
Every week, Toni and Eric watch a couple movies of questionable quality with similar themes, then rate them in a few different categories to judge which is the better movie.
Episodes
-
FPX08: Captain Marvel
10/03/2019 Duration: 01h01minLike everyone else in the world, we watched Captain Marvel this weekend. Is it the greatest most important movie ever? Who cares, as long as people keep throwing money Marvel's way!
-
FP36: Buckaroo Banzai vs. Dune
06/03/2019 Duration: 01h04minListen to our brains melt after watching The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension within 24 hours of a David Lynch movie.
-
FP35: The Fog vs The Mist
11/02/2019 Duration: 01h06minAfter the biblical suffering from last episode, we decided to treat ourselves a little bit by reviewing a couple of decent movies this time around. We compare The Fog and The Mist, which have nothing in common except evil things hiding in mildly unpleasant weather.
-
FP34: Exodus: Gods and Kings vs Noah
28/01/2019 Duration: 01h09minListen to Toni's remorse as she bemoans forcing Eric (and herself) to watch Exodus: Gods and Kings and Noah. This is the last Ridley Scott movie we'll talk about for a while, we promise.
-
FP33: King Solomon's Mines vs. Firewalker
13/01/2019 Duration: 59minWe start off 2019 by talking about the movies Eric was most looking forward to watching, two Indiana Jones/Romancing the Stone ripoffs from Cannon films, King Solomon's Mines and Firewalker. Is it possible to find an actor so bad they make Chuck Norris look charismatic and relatable? Just how long does it take to eat one potato chip? Will Sharon Stone's shorts survive the jungle adventure intact? Start you year right by getting these important questions answered.
-
FP32: Legend vs. Willow
22/12/2018 Duration: 01h03minIt's a Christmas miracle, we did a real episode for the first time in months! Relive your childhood movie traumas with us as we discuss the surprisingly trippy/creepy Legend, and the unsurprisingly schmaltzy Willow.
-
FPX07: Robin Hood (2018)
17/12/2018 Duration: 50minYes, it's as bad as you heard. Even though we already talked about an unbelievably bad Robin Hood movie earlier this year, we found more to discuss with the newest Robin Hood from 2018.
-
FPX06: Overlord
02/12/2018 Duration: 39minThe movie that may take the cake for most misguided name and marketing strategy of 2018, Overlord.
-
FPX05: The Predator
17/09/2018 Duration: 46minWe take a break from the regular format with a Faint Praise Extra episode focusing on Shane Black's The Predator made by Shane Black. Hey did you hear Shane Black made a movie how exciting say all the increasingly more inexplicable Shane Black fans.
-
FP31: The Astronaut's Wife vs The Devil's Advocate
12/08/2018 Duration: 54minAre you ready for Charlize Theron to get naked and cry because her evil husband moved her from Florida to New York City for his new high-falutin' job? Because it happened twice! This week we compare The Astronaut's Wife and The Devil's Advocate.
-
FP30: Waxwork vs House of Wax
05/08/2018 Duration: 57minIt doesn't happen often, but this week brought us a little surprise treat when we compared two wax-themed horror movies, Waxwork and House of Wax. And no surprise to anyone who lived through the year 2005, the treat wasn't House of Wax.
-
FP29: Double Impact vs. Maximum Risk
29/07/2018 Duration: 40minWe're here to tell you about all the times Jean-Claude Van Damme has played multiple roles in his movies, focusing specifically on the two movies where he plays secret twins - Double Impact and Maximum Risk.
-
FP28: Supernova vs. Lost in Space
22/07/2018 Duration: 52minAfter much time off for no good reason, we're back at it talking about two turn-of-the-millenium space stinkers, Supernova and Lost in Space.
-
FP27: Flatliners 1990 vs. Flatliners 2017
01/04/2018 Duration: 47minFor an Easter theme, we compare movies about coming back from the dead by talking about the Flatliners movies, the 1990 original and the 2017 remake.
-
FP26: Robin Hood (1991) vs. Robin Hood (2010)
21/03/2018 Duration: 56minIn a moment of accidental almost-relevance, we compare the most recent two Robin Hood movies from 1991 and 2010, in the wake of a new version coming out later this year. Listen on to find out the winner of Kevin Costner vs Russell Crowe.
-
FP25: The Three Musketeers 2011 vs. 1993
13/02/2018 Duration: 53minThis episode we compare two different adaptations of The Three Musketeers story: one from 2011 directed by Paul WS Anderson, and another from 1993 by Disney that seems to be mostly forgotten (at least, forgotten by two representatives from the target demographic at the time).
-
FP24: The Day After Tomorrow vs 2012
20/01/2018 Duration: 54minIn honor of the mini ice age taking over most of the US, we compare what are probably Roland Emmerich's favorite of his own movies, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012.
-
FP23: Johnny Mnemonic vs Tank Girl
10/01/2018 Duration: 45minAfter an unplanned break for the holidays (our definition of weekly has been very flexible), we return with our first episode of 2018 with Johnny Mnemonic vs Tank Girl. The theme is supposedly 1995 movies about dystopian futures starring Ice-T, but we fail to talk about Ice-T almost at all!
-
FP22: Jupiter Ascending vs. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
09/12/2017 Duration: 01h09minIn space perhaps no one can hear you scream, but we sure can still see you embarrassing yourself, as we learned watching Jupiter Ascending and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
-
FP21: Assassin's Creed vs Warcraft
02/12/2017 Duration: 01h07minThe theme for this week's episode is video game adaptations from 2016, pitting Assassin's Creed against Warcraft: The Beginning. Find Toni on twitter @faintpraisetj if you want to tell her how ignorant she is about video games, or email either Toni or Eric at faintpraisepodcast@gmail.com!
