In the second part of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure’s final film discussion, sadness, cruelty, selflessness, and love are pondered. Both a fond farewell to podcasting and an embarrassing supercut occur.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

In the first part of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure’s final film discussion, Ben reminisces with Alexis about Terry Gilliam, gun violence, homelessness, and mental health crises while Robin Williams sees nude cherubs.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

In the penultimate episode of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure, Alexis teaches Ben about patriotism, advertising, misery, and romance to the tune of Robin Williams playing the saxophone.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben invites Alexis to experience a spiritual awakening. It’s unclear how much of Ben’s reaction is a manic episode, religious epiphany, or Zen clarity. In any case, Steve Buscemi wore a lady’s head as a hat.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis needs Ben to know that LL Cool J’s hat is like a shark’s fin. If this deeply idiotic movie must be watched to get that point across, then so be it. Evil scientists, demon fish, and Sam Jackson abound.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

When Alexis and Ben are too lazy to make up a themed battle, they fall back on telling stories and talking about TV. Real-life Blade vampires and the state of Disney intellectual property are considered.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben introduces Alexis to the director Alan Smithee in a movie that was edited by a production company more obsessed with cutting than a pack of cenobites. Space demons and Adam Scott are also present.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis circles around the sun while Ben stares in horror at a mutilated space-time-continuum. Before they’re done they’ll experience all the whales, punks & nuclear wessels that the 1980s have to offer.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben tries to sell Alexis on some elevated-grim-dark hilarity that’s half a reboot of Se7en and half QAnon cautionary tale. Having all his wildest pop-cultural dreams fulfilled leaves Alexis nonplussed.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis helps Ben rediscover his love of comic book campiness. 90s college music will be appreciated, grown-ass men will be adopted, and a pair over-the-top supervillains will go Zuckerberg.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben’s movie is the heckin’ best. Yeah, yeah, yeah! Alexis is less than convinced so he can frig off. Walken contests, a few rounds of Real Name/Fake Name, and silly suit ultra-violence abound.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis advises all monkeyboys to laugh while they can. Can Ben possibly learn to appreciate a character actor extravaganza about a rock-n-roll-brain-surgeon-cowboy-rocket-scientist? Possibly!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben conducts a misguided experiment on Alexis that fails spectacularly. Turns out that it’s a bad idea to skip the first 19 episodes of a bewildering television show! Eventually, they give up and discuss Prey instead.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis has Ben perform intergalactic espionage when a planet full of deeply unpleasant aliens gets invaded by space utopians. WARNING! This is the TV episode First Contact, not the movie of the same name.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben tries in vain to prove to Alexis that verbal twists and turns can be just as entertaining as CGI stunts. He fails. Then Ben writes a self-referential meta-summary of his failure as a metaphor for this movie.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis is enraged by Ben’s stubborn refusal to admit that this CGI extravaganza is the greatest film of all time. The Wachowski belief that corporate interference is a blight on all forms of art is psychoanalyzed thoroughlyبقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben has Alexis observe director Mike Flanagan’s audacious use of an X-Men story arc to reconcile modern horror’s most popular author with the genius filmmaker who defiled/perfected The Shining.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis introduces Ben to an adaptation of a scifi novel that would have been an awesome Star Trek prequel. Except that it had the sheer, unmitigated gall to be a sequel Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey instead.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben tortures Alexis (and himself) with an uninspired patchwork of inexplicably diabolical electronics, the trendiest murder bar on the lower east side, and employment-themed cenobites galore.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis harasses Ben with Leonard Nimoy’s directorial debut! A film featuring a Klingon muppet dog, a stylish half-cape, and the most fascinating nightlife hotspot ever to appear in the Star Trek universe.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Oh god! Oh Man! Ben holds an ill-advised séance to summon the ghosts of Kiley Oram and Norman Mailer. They’ll subject Alexis to double flashbacks, toxic masculinity, and Dave Foley’s drag twin!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis subjects Ben and special guest Kiley Oram to a misbegotten trove of shattered dreams used primarily to preserve intellectual property rights! Watch along with us and experience the magic of Mr. Film for yourself!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis and Ben celebrate the end of their first podcasting season the only way they know how! Via navel gazing, criticizing each others lifestyle, and laughing at their own jokes. Like friends do!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben bores Alexis with a D&D session masquerading as movie. British actors will be identified, lackluster wizards will be appreciated, and we will ride a fire mare to a demon castle to use a switchblade starfish.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis helps Ben recall where the MCU began: In Cleveland, Ohio with an anthropomorphic duck. Competition for most realistic Cleveland moment is fierce and mallard sexuality scars us permanently.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben reveals to Alexis that there is a beautiful purity in poor acting choices. But how do you tell the difference between a bad actor acting poorly and a great actor perfectly pretending to act poorly? Is it the pauses? Maybe?بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis shows Ben the time a cranky sci-fi author forced his deeply cynical morality onto Star Trek. Prepare yourself for lawsuits aplenty, space-PCP-benders, bad improv, and how to incorrectly guard Forever.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben exposes Alexis to a sequel with some fantastic visuals and a mishmash of directionless plots. Learn proper occult interior design, practical maggot shaving techniques, and how to ululate the silliest noise of all time!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis weaves Ben a magical tale of men who didn’t like Star Trek joining forces to save Star Trek! Brace for space-mind-control-ear-worms, Scotty’s V.D., and Ben’s hot take that Khan is bad at being a villain!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben finally gets Alexis to watch a gangster film that feels like a documentary. Side characters will be discarded, Michael Caine will be pointlessly cruel, and we will all donate to the makemoremst3k.com kickstarter!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis makes his triumphant return to teach Ben about British comedy duos, diabolical monkey’s paw wishes, explanations to H.R. and why the Almighty is quite unpleasant. Nuns will jump on trampolines to the delight of all.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben takes special guest host Kiley Oram on the same emotional roller coaster he feels every time he watches this movie: Interest, excitement, enjoyment, annoyance, anger, depression. Time to jump in the pit and pogo dance!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Special guest host Kiley Oram teaches Ben about the balls, the reading, the shade, the voguing, the realness and the stunting! A bunch of complicated questions about race, class, queerness, gender, and cultural exploitation arise.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben takes special guest host Kiley Oram on a disturbing journey into the depths of David Lynch’s psyche. Time to take a ride to Ben’s apartment, meet a candy-colored clown, and put on our best well-dressed man disguises!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Special guest host Kiley Oram returns to share her least favorite John Waters movie! What is a gimmick movie without the gimmick? Odors will be unleashed, feet will be stomped, and we’ll all share a nice refreshing Tab.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben presents his special guest host Kiley Oram with a drama made by body horror aficionado/creep, David Cronenberg! Do mutant women have multiple cervixes? Cervices? Cervicii? Never mind. Just remember: Doing switcheroo is a crime.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Special guest host Kiley Oram punishes Ben for the sin of not appreciating John Waters. What is the philosophical meaning of filth? Would you want to be a snuff film chicken? If you don’t want to know then don’t let the couch reject you on the way out!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben shares a tale of a stupid violent man who plays a stupid violent sport in a dystopian future. But is it really a dystopia? Thrill as Alexis walks the thin line between playing devil’s advocate and being a troll! But, like, more than usual!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis sends Ben to the far-flung future of 1991 for a so-so buddy copy movie set in a fascinating sci-fi immigration parable. Featuring: Mandy Patinkin drunk on sour milk, James Caan as a unrepentant racist, and Terrence Stamp melting into pink goo!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Does this movie feature the greatest line in the history of cinema? Debatably! Is any of this satire? Doubtfully! Are the car crashes glorious? Decidedly! Is Alexis really unhappy that Ben forced this upon him? Oh my, yes.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis has a riddle for Ben. When is a Godzilla movie not a Godzilla movie? When it’s live-action Dragon Ball! Jump in your favorite Drill Ship with Don “The Predator” Frye because it’s time to be motorcycle-kicked by cheesiness!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben introduces Alexis to the tale of a harmless tailor named Garak who harbors a secret past as a Cardassian spy. Just kidding! It’s an 80s horror classic about Sadomasochists from Beyond the Grave! Will this podcast tear your soul apart? Probably.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis has Ben watch a motionless picture where Incompetent Kirk, Pissed-Off Spock and Fashion Victim McCoy battle a space cloud. Also, they aren’t even the main characters in their own movie? But hey! Space cloud!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Let’s be honest. Ben probably wouldn’t have made Alexis watch this episode of Columbo if Ricardo Montalbán wasn’t in it. On the plus side, it’s not nearly as racist as you might expect! Is his performance any good, or is Montalbán just doing Kahn as a bullfighter? We’re not sure!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Alexis teaches Ben the most important piece of wisdom he has to offer: Never trust Space Napoleons because they’ll steal your woman and your starship. The uncontrollable sexuality of Ricardo Montalbán and the Clone Wars of the 1990s cannot be contained by your pathetic Earth podcast!بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Ben takes Alexis into the dark recesses of Aaron Sorkin’s back catalogue with a 90’s thriller that is essentially two different movies in one. Boston accents will be assessed. Your hosts will hold a Deposition-Off. Medical ethics will be violated and private laughter will be revealed for all the world to see!…

Time for a Wig Watch! Did we say we wanted to watch movies that take a turn at the halfway mark? This one is chopped into thirds. Alexis teaches Ben a lesson in fractions and how not to reboot a franchise by making him watch a “gritty” superhero movie or a crowd pleaser... maybe a body horror psychological thriller?…

Alexis forces Ben to join his Giant Lizard Task Force. Is this a monster movie? A disaster movie? A political satire? All we know is that The Prime Minister wants his noodles and Toho learned about Morphing. Cultural misunderstandings fueled this viewing of Shin Godzilla (2016).بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

Hey, listen. Ben has something he wants you to watch but he can’t tell you why. He can’t even tell you why he can’t tell you. And if you go look it up on the internet without watching first, you’ll ruin it. Don’t be a real jerk. Don’t ruin it.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure

The second part of our pilot and Leonard Nimoy battle. Alexis learns about Ben's Columbo obsession while watching a classic 1973 episode featuring the ersatz Vulcan as a murderous surgeon.بقلم Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure
