The iconic 1977 musical-drama, "Saturday Night Fever," is perhaps the most overrated movie we've reviewed to date (e.g., Gene Siskel's favorite movie). People tend to remember the film as a fun little dance flick instead of seeing it for the poorly-filmed tribute to douchebaggery that it is. It's chock-full of gleeful racism and unashamed rape. It's tremendous box-office success did a lot to reinvigorate the horrible disco phenomenon and further propel its disgusting culture for several more years.

John Travolta basically again plays Vinnie Barbarino from "Welcome Back, Kotter," and he was somehow given a Best Actor Oscar nomination for doing so. His character's actions throughout the movie are unforgivable, but the audience is ultimately supposed to think he's a good dude because he has a cute smile and can dance.

One winter day in the year 2000, a sly wind blew in from the North carrying the rotten stench of "Chocolat." Its watered-down message about religious zealots needing to get laid every once in a while and lighten up slightly is supposed to be charming, but it is really just a cheap bastardization of a powerful and beautifully-written novel that challenges the morality of Catholicism. The makers of the film ripped out the heart of the story for the purpose of not offending Christian audiences and replaced it with a half-baked quirky romance.

Juliette Binoche plays a semi-magical single mother who moves into a small town in 1950s France and starts selling chocolate-flavored Spanish Fly and creates quite the stir. Bill Cosby would be proud [allegedly] that slipping sex drugs to unknowing victims is shown in such a positive light.

Johnny Depp plays Roux, an irreverent drifter with a questionable accent.

Join us as we for the second week in a row tackle a movie with an Easter theme. This time we have a chocolate hangover rather than a Jesus' blood hangover.

Happy Easter!

Sir Mel Gibson's 2004 box office smash "The Passion of the Christ" is in a genre of movie we have yet to cover on the show: torture porn. It's a movie about suffering—specifically, the audience's.

Jimmy "JC" Caviezel plays the son of the one true God, Jesus H. Christ. It's a tall tale about a child born after a ghost impregnated his mommy without her consent. He then went around showing off a bunch of magic tricks until it landed him in hot soup with some powerful Jews and Romans.

The famed anti-Semite and misogynist star of "What Women Want" directed this slow-motion snuff film that used more blood than 10,000 elevator scenes from "The Shining" and had more Gore in it than Tipper's vagina in the entire 1980s.

Join us two lapsed Catholics as we discuss this prolapsed anus of a movie.

The Top 5 reasons that people who are in love with the 2000 romantic comedy-drama, "High Fidelity," need to break up with it:

1. The main character, Rob Gordon, played by John Cusack, is a mopey man-child who doesn't change, but the movie pretends he does.

2. Rob annoyingly talks into the camera the whole time. The makers of this movie have never heard of the fourth wall.

3. The movie is just a series of scenes where Rob whines about breakups.

4. The audience is supposed to want to root for Rob, but they aren't shown anything that makes them want to. In fact, what they are shown makes them want to root against him.

5. Rob makes Top 5 lists about everything.

We discuss which child stars belong in the Haim Grave, Lisa Bonet's Kravitzstonian accent and Bruce Springsteen's cameo as himself, which is one of the most painful and awkward moments in cinema history.
