Hey everybody, Teague here. After last week’s unholy roast of Attack of the Clones, we thought we’d cleanse our palettes with a couple changes to the game. For one, watch a movie that isn’t ridiculous, Frank Darabont’s impressive thriller The Mist. For two, bring in a heavyweight lightweight: new Down in Front already-veteran Jake Lloyd. (Turns out, this Jake Lloyd is a comedian, not an actor.) (We’re happy with the one we got, though.) (Check out the embed to see some of his stand-up while you wait for your Down in Front to come to a rolling boil.) (Parenthesis. I’m bringing them back.)
The Mist is another pitch-perfect Stephen King adaptation by Frank Darabont, director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. In some cases, we stress more than usual that you be sure to have seen the movie before listening to the discussion, and this is one of those cases. Do not be spoiled by our sad asses, watch the film first - and watch the black and white special edition version if you can, you’ll see why when you’re. You know. Watching it.

Hey everybody, Teague here with the release of the commentary for The Abyss: Special Edition. Veteran Down in Fronter Trey had a hand in the making of this movie - literally, ha HA - as a puppeteer and movement designer for the main critters throughout the climax of picture, and comes to this episode as the wise ambassador of The Way Things Were. Us kids, we just don’t know.
Joining the crew this week is Ryan Wieber, who contributes about as much as any of us can in the face of Trey’s overwheming amount of experience with this often-ignored James Cameron epic.
It’s a makin’-movies episode of Down in Front, kids, so prepare for your minds to be blown thoroughly.

Hello sportsfans, Trey here. Back in 1975 a little-known TV director got stuck with the job of making a shark movie that was only 3% shark. What might have been fodder for an episode of Mystery Science Theater became a blockbuster that changed the way Hollywood has made movies ever since. Good thing, too - if his shark movie hadn’t worked out, that guy’d be lucky to be directing Good Morning Amarillo these days. Instead he gets to be Steven Spielberg, which is almost certainly better.
Join us won’t you, as we unravel the mystery of how a monster movie can work so gosh-darn well, even though the monster almost never shows up. Or did I just give away the answer?
