After many years of bad-movie watching, the guys finally make their way to Uwe Boll, the infamous shlock director whose career largely consists of nearly unwatchable videogame adaptations. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale was Boll's 2007 attempt at a big-budget, all-star adventure and Jay - on the advice of an old friend - drops this $60 million dollar bomb on Mike's head. As he's done with countless other terrible movies, from Cool as Ice to Coyote Ugly, will Mike be able to turn this cinematic pain into pleasure? Find out during an epic main review and stick around as the guys list off their Bottom Five Kings, a list of movie monarch malcontents that is sure to surprise. After a quick trip through the listener mail bag, it's once again time for Mike to exact his revenge, handing Jay not only a weird bit of movie mayhem but a special offering to mark the start spooky season! This episode's got everything - from Burt Reynolds choking out his agent to a rumor about Ed Begley Jr.'s BDE - so slap on some headphones and put on your finest leathers because a-dungeon-siegin' you're-a-goin' with the podcast that wields films as deadly weapons!

Tackling something entirely new for Filmjitsu, Mike slaps Jay with the huge cinematic tortilla that is the 2019 documentary/mockumentary Wrinkles the Clown. And Jay, mouth full of water and brain full of contempt, does his best to keep himself together while discussing clown fear, parenting and Inuit folktales. This is a weird one for sure, but the guys return to their usual shenanigans while counting down their Bottom Five Punishments, a collection of bizarre, frequently upsetting, and often cruel diegetic disciplines that include being slapped with a VHS tape, cursed with inexplicable paralyzation and forced to eat... chocolate cake? If that's not enough, during a raucous round of Dueling Double Bills, Mike and Jay pay their respects to Robert Redford while pairing some of his movies with the likes of... Shakes the Clown. It's clowns and punishment this week, a three-ring cinema side-show served-up with a side of Greek auteurism and the discovery of a 1981 nexus of talent! Step right up, folks—because this episode again proves the harshest punishment is usually just hitting ‘play.’

As "Hot Filmjitsu Summer 2025" concludes, Jay "Streep-slaps" Mike with the Meryl Streep grenade he annually pulls the pin on. This year Mike had to endure "She-Devil," a 1989 "comedy" about a housewife seeking revenge on her philandering husband by punishing the high-society romance novelist who stole him. Featuring the unlikely combo of Meryl Streep and Roseanne Barr as its headliners, "She-Devil" was the perfect choice to partner with the guys' Bottom Five Team Ups, a list of promising—or at least intriguing—marquee matches that wound up disappointing in some way. After the guys finish talking about everyone from Elvis to Estelle Getty, they take a moment to offer their respects to another great talent that recently passed with a game of Kick Two, Pick Two. And, as always, the cycle of mayhem continues with Mike revealing what Jay's next cinematic punishment will be.
