Send us Fan Mail In this episode, return guest Derek Schlender (" Schlender 5 Productions ") joins the podcast. He brings along the movie Dragonheart: A New Beginning . Marty and Clif give Derek the movie Rollerball (2002) to watch. First up is Rollerball , the much-maligned remake of the 1975 sci-fi classic. Clif, Marty, and Derek dissect everything from the chaotic editing and baffling storytelling to the early-2000s soundtrack overload, while asking how a movie with this much money and talent behind it could go so spectacularly off the rails. Then it's on to Dragonheart: A New Beginning , the direct-to-video follow-up to the fantasy favorite. The gang struggles to find anything resembling the magic of the original as they pick apart the effects, performances, questionable story choices and a dragon that doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Even Derek admits he may have pushed his luck with these picks. But, sometimes tearing apart a bad movie can be just as entertaining as celebrating a great one. Along the way: fake Russian accents, Pink and Slipknot cameos, Scooby-Doo comparisons, poisoned skeletons, dragon anatomy and Derek apologizing over and over.
