Time for another episode of At The Parties w/ Hobert, where PMT host Hobert walks around a party and asks fellow partiers what movies they’ve seen recently, and what they thought of them. It’s a movie review show where everyone’s a little tipsy and full. At this year’s annual hotdog-themed Memorial Day bash, Hobert took a break from grilling to chill, have an Old Style, hear about the latest current releases and old favorites, briefly develop a star system and then drop it, and do a lot of plugging for Gabewatch (next show June 28th!).FriendshipFantastic PlanetMission: Impossible - Final ReckoningMechanical Violator HakaiderAguirre, the Wrath of GodHolesSinnersSpeed RacerPersonaDidiThe Last RodeoHot Fuzz (aka Shaun of the Dead)JazzMoulin Rouge!Real (2017)The Final GirlsThe Shrouds

With the help of Elga, an aspiring witch who doesn’t want to jeopardize her career with a simple mistake, Parker will climb the corporate tower to meet the witch at the top and learn the truth about what business is going on within Potions Incorporated!Scripts start at 55:44StarringNick OlsenVi ConradHobert ThompsonLaura Petro
Who doesn't love a sequel? And who doesn't love a sequel that takes place at an abandoned resort? Laura and Nate are sure on board! In the extremely busy and long-titled I Still Know What You Did Last Summer it's still summer and someone still knows. And that's the tea on that! Brandy is also there! 
In the frontier town of Thickleg, WY, the humble farmers and ranchers rely on Seamus Greenhorn for medical assistance. The only thing is, “Doctor” Greenhorn has no idea what he’s doing, he’s just winging it when he mixes together the various strong medicines in his shop, frequently testing them on himself first. When a drunken accident causes him to injure his head, Seamus downs a potent concoction to ease his headache and discovers two things: he’s tripping balls and he can talk to animals. As this quack doctor continues to self medicate his way across the open range, he uses his new (and maybe imagined) powers to heal (and cause) a war between man and beast.Scripts start at 45:15StarringHobert ThompsonLaura PetroAnd Jordan Wilson as Mr. Horse
As summer approaches join Laura and Nate for a trip down summer slasher lane with 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer. In which, 4 friends accidentally and then purposefully kill someone one summer, and then the next summer are being stalked with reminders about that one time they accidentally then purposefully killed someone. YIKES. 
At a national-level high school Model UN, something strange is afoot. High-profile members are dropping like flies, suddenly sick or socially destroyed, videos of their humiliation posted by a mysterious online account called The Seagull. As the weekend event unravels, a serious student known as “Luxembourg” (all the students go by their country names, it’s more fun) sets out with the rest of the members of the Model UN security council to solve the mystery of who The Seagull is and what they want. How deep does this conspiracy go? Scripts start at 57:49StarringCassie MiddlemistMike MazzellaLaura PetroHobert ThompsonDaryn Robinson
You know what they say: all good things must come to and end via catastrophe on a suspended bridge (at least until the next movie comes out!). Laura and Nate have done the possible: reached their final destination of watching all of the Final Destination movies (at least until the next movie comes out!!!!). Join these beloved friends and franchise watchers as they discuss 2011's finest franchise film: Final Destination 5 (and yes, we will see you when the next movie comes out, ok!!!) 
The history of the Tinkerman family is a quintessential American success story. From humble begins, the first Tinkerman started a legacy of technological achievement that would grow into an empire. And at the heart of it all was one family heirloom that defined their relationship to their craft: The Automaton. From a clockwork wonder to a sentient machine, the evolution of this robotic companion became the duty of every Tinkerman progeny, each adding their own contribution to The Automaton, reflecting their own time period, skill, and even flaws as the years pass and times change.  Scripts start at 33:30StarringDavid FeinbergLaura PetroMichael SerioHobert Thompson
Hobert and Mike are back with another episode of Script Rippers!!! This time to craft a much craftier A Minecraft Movie. Join those rippin’ boyz for another round of punch-ups as they take a by-recipe blockbuster written by no less than 20 people and turn it into a movie that really captures the magic of doing chores so monsters don’t kill you while you sleep. Can Hobert and Mike bring the magic of playing games that A Minecraft Movie definitely wanted Jack Black to bring to the movie via song?
