Rhymes with 'Erection'
Matt Fagan loves the 1999 Reese Witherspoon vehicle ELECTION because it's a dark comedy filled with irredeemable characters. For some reason, Ted Fagan had some negative feelings about ELECTION. Maybe because of all the irredeemable characters! We recorded this conversation in January of 2024, before Depot Devoid had ever even published a single episode. And before the actual Election, which makes this episode a quaint artifact of more hopeful times. In real life, it's July of 2026, the country's on fire, and Depot Devoid hasn't recorded in a while because Ted is recovering from a significant injury. So here we are, persisting, and trying to our best in spite of everything. Pick Flick!

Elliott Got a Gun
The Fagan brothers revisit CLOAK & DAGGER, a staple of their childhoods that neither had seen in many, many years. Henry Thomas (E.T.) plays Davy Osborne, an insane 12-year-old who listens to the voices in his head and goes on a murder spree across San Antonio, because his dad won't let him play his favorite video game! Weirdly, that is not a complete misrepresentation of the story. CLOAK & DAGGER is a family film about Davy, whose Dad works a lot and whose mom recently passed away. He and his best friend Kim become accidentally embroiled in what amounts to a children's version of a spy thriller. While the responsible adults ignore literally everything Davy tells them, he finds his way through the plot with the help of Jack Flack, his super-spy imaginary friend. Dabney Coleman (9 to 5) plays Davy's dad, and also Jack Flack, which obviously sets up the opportunity for some totally-expected personal growth and emotional resolution. Except... that's not exactly what happened. Some third-act revelations muddy the waters, and make Matt literally lose his mind. What is Jack Flack? What is he?!?

The Grossest Thing in this Gross World
This episode about Swiss Army Man has been laying in the vault for a couple of years, untouched, yet still eerily alive like Daniel Radcliffe. We haven't recorded in a few weeks, as Ted was busy moving for work, and then immediately decided to go to the hospital. He is okay, but watching movies and talking about them over Zoom has not been the priority lately. Instead, let's roll out some of this increasingly burdensome backlog, which contains both pearls and swine. Swiss Army Man, at least, is delightful.

The Mothra Prophecies
Hosts Matt Fagan and Ted Fagan are joined by the ghost of their brother Ian, in this very special episode of the Depot Devoid Podcast. The brothers have defied natural law, and violated the delicate balance of life and afterlife, in order to discuss the 2002 supernatural thriller "The Mothman Prophecies," starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney. But not the 1996 legal thriller "Primal Fear," starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney.

Mandrogynous Manbots!
We are no strangers to the works of Charles Band and Full Moon Entertainment, so when MANDROID pulled into the Depot Devoid, we thought we knew what was coming. But Mandroid was more than just underdeveloped or inept, with actors who can't deliver, all of which would be fully expected. No, Mandroid was different, because it also had a script that nobody involved in its production seemed to care about, even though it was obviously trying to be the first entry in a franchise. But Mandroid is so thin on story that it found time to act as a backdoor pilot, for a second franchise about an invisible man! A curious combination of craven and dull, Mandroid plopped onto video store shelves in 1993 with a big stanky thud, and there it sat. Until now.

Ravenous Memories
Once upon a time, we watched the movie 'Ravenous', a 1999 cannibal superhero comedy (?) set in 1847. Then we recorded this episode, without watching it again. The result was... funnier than it was accurate.For extra fun, check out the full video episode on the Depot Devoid Podcast channel on YouTube!

The Curious Case of the King of the Monsters
It's destruction and disorder in the Depot when the boys face their biggest challenge yet: Godzilla himself! Preschool-aged Ted watched Godzilla 1985 every week for a year, but will middle-aged Ted be able to make it through even once? It's a sequel to Godzilla that ignores about fourteen movies in between, and brings back Raymond Burr to reprise his role from the bowdlerized American version of the film. Yes, having now defeated Hamilton Burger almost 270 times, Perry Mason now sets his sights on taking down the King of the Monsters. We wanted to like this movie, and it wasn't easy.Find the full video episode on the Depot Devoid Youtube Channel!
