While the "Dirty Sons of Pitches" await to record next, so Ben and his brother are back with their weekly podcast "Saturday Night Jive' and this time they're sharing what they call one of the greatest movies of all time, 1989's wrestling comedy "No Holds Barred" starring and co-written by Hulk Hogan himself. Listen to their giddy amusement at themany ways this ridiculous movie manages to entertain, both intentionally and unintentionally, and all hail Kurt Fuller, the hardest working man in show business.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back and examining the films of the first decade of the twenty-first century year by year. This time it's 2007, an otherwise stellar year of cinema, but the guys aregoing for lesser known examples, specifically the "Underdog" live-action movie unfortunately voiced by Jason Lee, and "Mr. Brooks" where Kevin Costner is a serial killer trying to live an ordinary life in the suburbs but having a hard time giving up his old addictions.

Episode 379 includes:

-Some minor new trailers ("Five Nights at Freddy's" anyone?) and discussion about Garth Brooks quixotic attempt to remake himself an emo singer-songwriter.

-"Petr Pan & Wendy" is a noble failure in the realm of Disney live-action remakes. 

-Ben says "Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3" is the least of the trilogy, and he's having a hard time defending the rampant animal cruelty as gratuitous emotional manipulation. 

-By the Decade -- 2007 -- "Underog" / "Mr. Brooks"

-The guys discuss what, if anything, is appealing about the "Underdog" children't movie and who exactly it was meant for, and then spend more time appreciating the many different conflicts in "Mr. Brooks" before coming up with storytelling changes that would have made an overstuffed but good genre movie more streamlined and even better. 

While we wait for another "Dirty Sons of Pitches" recording, Ben has taken it upon himself to record several solo podcasts of himself playing the familiar game of This Meets That, watching and discussing two movies and then combining them for an original pitch. For the next episode of this bonus series, Ben is watching 2016's video game adaptation "Assassin's Creed" and discusses the nature of gatekeepeing and fan voracity, and then has a whole lot of fun discussing the Tarantino knockoff "Razor Blade Smile" from 1998. Ben discusses both movies in depth then combines elements from both movies to pitch a brand-new project.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have returned from wedding duties and are looking back at two films from the year 2006, James Gunn's directorial debut, the body horror comedy "Slither," and Ivan Reitman's very bad and very cringe-inducing "comedy" about dating and breaking up with a superhero, "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."

Episode 378 includes:

-R.I.P. Jerry Springer and Ben's anticipation for "Dune: Part Two."

-Oh, yeah, there's also a writer's strike going on. What does it mean for Hollywood?

-Ben sings the praises of horror comedy "Renfield."

-By the Decade -- 2006 -- "Slither" / "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"

-Both movies prove disappointing for very different reasons. Gunn's "Slither" feels like a mismashed collection of its influences without the heart to hold it together beyond pastiche, and "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" is a poorly aged movie about women being crazy and needy from the point of view of a bad boyriend and other mid-2000s sexual politics.
