An alien lands in New York City…and decides Italians are delicious. Not Italian FOOD. Italians.

Johnny Spoiler is back to audit somebody else’s life for a change, and this week we’re digging up one of the strangest forgotten movies of the ’80s: EAT AND RUN, the 1986 sci-fi horror-comedy about a 400-pound alien named Murray who develops an appetite for the residents of Little Italy.

Yes. This movie actually exists.

Detective Mickey McSorely is trying to convince everyone that a giant alien is literally eating New Yorkers while Murray gets arrested, wins a court case, gets released on bail, dates a judge, and continues his culinary tour of Little Italy. Somehow, Mickey eventually winds up in more legal trouble than the extraterrestrial cannibal.

We get into the movie’s bizarre history, its New World Pictures connection, Ron Silver playing the whole thing surprisingly straight, Pat “R. L.” Ryan’s connection to Street Trash, the off-screen kills, the Pavarotti gag, and why an 85-minute movie this insane still managed to lose Johnny before the final act.

 HOME VIDEO HEADLINES: Nick Nolte and Milo Gibson head into full-moon horror territory with Vested, Mikayla Matthews explains her exit from Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Johnny takes a detour through Utah involving Yellowstone locations, questionable steak sides, and the Blue Sapphire.

 We also preview The Musical, the dark comedy starring Will Brill, Gillian Jacobs and Rob Lowe that sounds suspiciously like somebody stole a movie idea directly out of Johnny Spoiler’s brain.

 STAFF PICK: Music and Lyrics — Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore, fake ’80s pop music, and songs catchy enough to make you wonder why more fake movie bands don't release real albums.

ALI G IS BACK. Booyakasha!

Sacha Baron Cohen is officially bringing Ali G back to the big screen in Ali G: Who Iz I? — a new secretly filmed mockumentary arriving in theaters October 23, 2026. But more than 20 years after Ali G became a pop-culture phenomenon, there’s a much bigger question:

Can Ali G still work in 2026?

Johnny Spoiler breaks down the Ali G comeback, what we know about Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie, the return of his undercover mockumentary style, and the growing debate over whether Ali G remains brilliant satire or a character whose comedy belongs to another era.

Then somehow things get even stranger.

 HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper plays one of the last fertile men alive after nuclear war destroys civilization. His mission? Enter a city controlled by mutant frog people, rescue fertile women and help save the human race.

Oh, and the government straps an EXPLOSIVE CODPIECE to him to make sure he cooperates.

Welcome to Hell Comes to Frogtown.

Johnny revisits the insane 1988 cult sci-fi comedy, its incredible practical frog makeup, bizarre production history, reduced budget, abandoned casting possibilities and the sequels somebody apparently decided the world needed.

BINGE NOW, BINGE LATER OR BINGE NEVER?

Dangerous Dave has been trying to get Johnny to watch Hell Comes to Frogtown for roughly 20 YEARS.

The verdict?

 BINGE LATER.

 21 Jump Street vs. 22 Jump Street — why Johnny thinks the first movie is still better, why Johnny Depp returning as Tom Hanson matters, and why Jillian Bell almost walks away with the entire sequel.

JOHNNY DRINKS JOLT MODERN SODA https://tr.ee/JoltCreamSodaBW

Johnny Spoiler dives into the swamp for a full Swamp Thing retrospective, revisiting Wes Craven’s 1982 cult classic, The Return of Swamp Thing, the 1990s TV series, and even the bizarre animated series. Johnny asks the ultimate question:

 Did these movies actually hold up, or did we just outgrow them? Plus, Johnny breaks down the latest RoboCop casting news, the wild new Jason Voorhees x PBR Halloween collaboration, and the movie legacy of the legendary Dolly Parton.

Then it’s time for Fan Service, where Johnny tackles the debate over whether Johnny Depp will ultimately be remembered more for 21 Jump Street or Captain Jack Sparrow.

And for Staff Picks, Johnny checks out Idiots (2026), the dark and chaotic new comedy starring Dave Franco, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Mason Thames, Peter Dinklage, Kiernan Shipka, and Nicholas Braun.

It’s horror, superheroes, cult movies, nostalgia, and plenty of Johnny Spoiler opinions—all in one episode.

Binge-Watchers Podcast with Johnny Spoiler — spoil some movies we love.

Johnny Spoiler is back with another horror movie reaction, and this time we're diving into Fingers (2019), a bizarre indie horror movie where a woman begins experiencing a disturbing reaction to her own body while spiraling into a full-blown nervous breakdown as masked men terrorize her coworker. Is this a forgotten horror gem—or one movie Johnny wishes he never watched?

Plus, Johnny Spoiler breaks down the latest movie and TV news, including Jerry Bruckheimer revealing that conversations have taken place with Johnny Depp about returning as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates 6, with Margot Robbie still rumored to be involved.

And what's happening with the reported Return of the Living Dead sequel? One report says the movie is headed for a November release during the Christmas season, fitting its holiday setting and direct-sequel story. Another report says the project isn't moving forward at all. So… who's right?

Then it's time for Binge Now, Later, or Never with Fingers, followed by Scream Now, Scream Later, or Scream Never as part of Johnny Spoiler's Summer Slasher Movie Marathon. Spoiler alert: Fingers gets a Scream Never. Johnny was hoping for a hidden indie horror gem, but instead found a movie that felt unnecessary to watch.

We also have another great GRUV Blu-ray deal, plus news about the upcoming ultimate He-Man and She-Ra collection featuring all 130 episodes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, all 93 episodes of She-Ra: Princess of Power, and The Secret of the Sword. Check the show notes for the GRUV link and get 15% off when you sign up for the GRUV newsletter.  https://tr.ee/GRUVBW

Finally, Johnny Spoiler's Staff Pick is Night Patrol (2026), where rival gangs join forces to battle a task force of vampire cops. Starring Jermaine Fowler, Justin Long, CM Punk, Dermot Mulroney, and RJ Cyler, the movie mixes gang warfare, vampire mythology, and Zulu supernatural lore. One gang's bizarre collection of supernatural knowledge and monster theories makes this a surprisingly entertaining ride—and according to Johnny, it was actually better than this week's movie of the week!

Looking for a fun way to get everyone off the couch? QR Hunter turns your phone into a build-your-own scavenger hunt where you create clues, hide QR codes, and send friends and family racing to the finish. https://tr.ee/QRHunterBW

And honestly, that's part of what makes this movie so interesting. Eric Roberts gets to play against expectations while Lance Henriksen — usually the guy you expect to be lurking in the shadows — is strangely subdued and ordinary. The casting alone makes you question everything.

Johnny Spoiler gets into the movie's desert atmosphere, Dusty's relentless button-pushing, the bizarre blackmail setup, the buried-alive sequence, the infamous neck injection, Brian James' wasted cameo, and an ending that left Johnny wondering why the hell he spent his time getting there in the first place.

Plus, we've got Home Video Headlines, including the new werewolf horror comedy Howl from Kumail Nanjiani, Lionsgate's upcoming Leprechaun movie, and Mel Gibson talking about the long-awaited Lethal Weapon 5.

Then Johnny gives you his Staff Pick: Rush (1991), the gritty undercover narcotics drama starring Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

And don't forget the QR Hunter sponsor message — a build-your-own scavenger hunt that turns your phone into the game board and gets everyone off the couch.

Johnny Spoiler breaks down this bizarre 1995 mystery-thriller about a drifter, a nervous salesman, a deadly hitchhiker, and a serial killer known as the Hatchet Man.

Tonight's featured horror movie reaction is Brain Dead (1990)—not the Peter Jackson zombie classic, but the psychological sci-fi horror thriller starring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton. A brilliant neurosurgeon discovers the corporation funding his experiments may also be manipulating his mind. Johnny discusses the film's paranoia, conspiracy themes, and why it's an overlooked cult favorite.

The conversation also celebrates the incredible careers of Bill Paxton (Aliens, Near Dark, Twister, Tombstone, Club Dread, Weird Science, Predator 2, and The Vagrant) and Bill Pullman (Lake Placid, Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping, The Sinner, and Spaceballs).

Adam asks about Jabberwocky (1977), leading to a discussion of Terry Gilliam and favorites like Time Bandits and The Fisher King.

Johnny also shares his reactions to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, discussing its darker tone, crowded roster of villains, the surprising appearance of Jean Grey, Punisher's team-up, Hulk fan service, and where it ranks among the Spider-Man films. Johnny's all-time favorites remain:

• Spider-Man 2 (Tobey Maguire)

• Spider-Man: Far From Home

• Spider-Man (2002)

Plus, a nostalgic look back at classic Spider-Man animation, including Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, the 1990s animated series, the live-action 1970s show, and the wildly entertaining Japanese Spider-Man series.

Hit the highway for one of the greatest hidden gems in horror history as Johnny Spoiler takes a spoiler-filled ride through Richard Franklin's Roadgames (1981)—the Australian cult classic that asks: What if Alfred Hitchcock made a slasher on the open road?

This week, Johnny breaks down why Roadgames deserves a place alongside The Hitcher, Joy Ride, and Breakdown, explores its reputation as one of the defining films of the Ozploitation era, and reveals the behind-the-scenes stories that make this thriller legendary—including Stacy Keach learning to drive a 16-gear semi in just two days, the Sean Connery casting that almost happened, and why Quid's dingo had to be renamed Boswell.

• Danny McBride's gritty new G.I. Joe movie heads to Springfield... but not the Springfield you expect.

• Remembering the legendary Sam Neill with a look back at Possession, Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, Merlin, and Bicentennial Man.

• Sydney Sweeney saddles up for Hollow, a gothic reimagining of Sleepy Hollow, plus three must-watch Sweeney films.

Johnny answers your questions about A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, dives into why it's become one of horror's most fascinating cult classics, and shares behind-the-scenes trivia from The Dream Master.

Before Workaholics became a Comedy Central hit, it was a broke YouTube sketch group called Mail Order Comedy. Johnny tells the unbelievable story of how Blake, Adam, Anders, and Kyle turned homemade videos into one of TV's funniest comedies.

 Rating: SCREAM NOW!

It's another Horror Movie Reaction as Summer Slash 8 continues with the gloriously bizarre cult classic Blue Monkey (1987)—the Canadian creature feature that somehow contains zero monkeys and one giant mutant insect terrorizing a quarantined hospital.

Johnny Spoiler breaks down what works, what doesn't, the surprisingly creative creature effects, the misleading title, and whether this forgotten B-movie deserves a second chance... or should stay quarantined forever.

Also in this episode:

 Resident Evil is getting another reboot that's finally embracing survival horror.

 Lily James stars in Seasons, a creepy new horror film based on the viral Reddit story about a haunted ranch with terrifying seasonal rituals.

 Dario Argento returns with what could be the bloodiest movie of his legendary career. We revisit horror classics like Suspiria, Deep Red, and Demons.

 Plus, Johnny shares his thoughts on Good Fortune starring Keanu Reeves, compares his lovable rookie angel to Nicolas Cage's unforgettable performance in City of Angels, and explains why one angel wants to become human while the other has no idea how humans actually work.

And before all of that, Johnny opens with a personal reflection on the famous phrase "The Show Must Go On"—from its circus origins to Freddie Mercury's legendary final recordings—and why that motto still matters today.

This Episode

Johnny Spoiler takes a trip back to 1990 for FEAR, a forgotten supernatural thriller starring Ally Sheedy as Cayce Bridges, a psychic investigator who helps police solve murders by experiencing visions through the minds of killers. Her latest case becomes terrifying when she discovers a murderer with the same abilities—and he wants her to experience every ounce of fear his victims feel.

In this horror movie reaction and review, Johnny Spoiler breaks down the psychic-versus-psychic showdown, the creepy performance by Pruitt Taylor Vince as the Shadow Man, the bizarre Detective Eyepatch character, the film's connections to CIA remote-viewing experiments, and why this obscure Showtime thriller deserves another look from horror fans.

Also on this episode:

 Hugh Jackman teams with Ridley Scott for a new adaptation of Treasure Island.

 Brad Pitt and a loyal military dog fight for survival in Heart of the Beast—and yes, the dog survives.

 Rose of Nevada brings haunting maritime time-travel horror to the Cornish coast with one of the most unique visual styles you'll see all year.

Is FEAR a hidden gem or a forgotten relic of early '90s horror?

Johnny Spoiler gives his verdict: Binge Later.
