102 - Found a Homeless Billionaire Husband for Christmas [Reelshort]
Episode 102: Found a Homeless Billionaire Husband for ChristmasDumpsterpiece Theatre returns to the vertical-video content mines for round two of Reelshort, tackling Found a Homeless Billionaire Husband for Christmas - a title so committed to its bit that the film itself barely bothers with Christmas. Before diving into the "movie" (loosely defined, 70-some two-minute episodes, quote-unq
101 - My Life with the Walter Boys S1E6-7 [Netflix]
Episode 101: My Life with the Walter Boys, S1 E6–7After a brief summer hiatus (blame the schedules, the camps, and the general chaos of not-back-to-school), Dumpsterpiece Theatre returns to Silver Falls for episodes six and seven of My Life with the Walter Boys - titled "Baggage" and "Small Town Rumors," which pretty much tells you everything except how bad the bonfire is going
100 - The Centennial
Episode 100: The CentennialAfter nearly three years and a genuinely alarming 1.1 terabytes of backed-up audio, Dumpsterpiece Theatre hits its 100th episode and celebrates the only responsible way: by refusing to watch a single new thing. Instead, Scott and Liz take a victory lap through episodes 51–100, ranking the best and worst of the bunch, hate-watching a reno show that should be under federal
099 - Horse Sense
Episode 99: Horse SenseWe saddle up for a 1999 Disney Channel offering starring Joey Lawrence and Andrew Lawrence - but, in a genuine travesty, not the third Lawrence brother, who is relegated to an uncredited cameo as a cowboy giving the stink-eye at an airport.

096 - Leaving Las Vegas
Episode 96: Leaving Las VegasDumpsterpiece Theatre takes a sharp detour from its usual diet of romantic comedy slop to tackle a genuinely good (and devastating) film.

Elizabeth Shue is the escort who falls for him anyway. It's bleak. I
095 - People We Meet on Vacation [Netflix]
Episode 95: People We Meet on VacationNetflix rolls another rom-com off the assembly line with People We Meet on Vacation, and this one checks so many formula boxes we're officially proposing trope bingo cards.

094 - My Life with the Walter Boys S1E2-3 [Netflix]
Episode 94: My Life with the Walter Boys - S1E2-3We're back in Silver Falls - population: one of every kind of person, apparently - for episodes two and three of My Life with the Walter Boys.

And somehow, nobody in this house has thought to split the bathroom schedule between two
093 - After Ever Happy (Film)

Episode 91: My Life with the Walter Boys S1E1We're kicking off a new series, and it's Netflix's My Life with the Walter Boys - a chaos tornado of unexplained children, green screen car rides, and production choices that suggest the insurance company had some very strong opinions about open flames.

027 - The Kissing Booth 2 [Netflix]
This week, we're returning to the The Kissing Booth franchise [Netflix] with The Kissing Booth 2! Definitely a step down from the first film, this film is centered around Elle's college applications and her cringey essay. The kissing booth itself doesn't really play a pivotal role in this one, but we're introduced to a new character, Marco (Polo!) Elle can't decide whether she
026 - Ferris Bueller EP3-4
Ferris! Bueller! WEW! We're back with episodes 3 and 4 of this goofy spinoff and it's only gotten better. In episode 3, Ferris convinces the school janitor to pretend to be the new Dean of Students (so Ferris can avoid any real discipline), which ends abruptly when "Lou" begins having visions of world domination. Then in episode 4, Cameron decides he needs to find his own way out
025 - The Hating Game
Wow... Where to begin with this one? The Hating Game is a trope-filled, poorly-executed attempt at a hate-to-love office relationship, and that's being generous. Possibly one of the worst Dumpsterpieces we've watched, there is nothing redeeming about this movie (so at least you won't mind it being spoiled.) Lucy and Josh are thrown together in the merger of two publishing houses. In ty
024 - The Cutting Edge - with special guest Caroline!
If you grew up in the 90s and enjoyed ice skating, the Olympics, or romcoms, you're sure to have heard the phrase "toe pick" taken from one of the greatest films of ALL TIME - The Cutting Edge! On this episode, we revisited the fun classic with special guest Caroline (Liz's sister-in-law!) Given that she's a super-fan and hasn't watched the movie for a few years, we inclu
023 - Ferris Bueller EP1-2
Now THIS is a true Dumpsterpiece... We started watching the Ferris Bueller television spin-off from 1990 and boy is it awful. Seriously, you need to see how bad this is. The premise being that the movie was actually a take on this Ferris' life, even though the movie Ferris was "too whitebread." So what else can we do but chainsaw a cardboard cutout of Matthew Broderick as Ferris in h
