  • The Stephen King Cinematic Universe Pt II
    Sep 30 2025

    Ken and Andy return to Castle Rock for another round of Stephen King adaptations, and this time the ride gets weird. The boys tackle the early-’90s CGI trip The Lawnmower Man in a full Better Than Gigli segment, asking the hard question: is this cyber-thriller a misunderstood gem or just lawn clippings? Then it’s on to two very different King stories — the claustrophobic, nerve-wracking Gerald’s Game and the long-rumored dystopian saga The Long Walk.

    From virtual reality gods to handcuff horror to a deadly march through America’s heartland, we decide which ones are worth your cash, your bandwidth, or none at all.

  • Animation Pt I
    Sep 17 2025

    This week, Ken and Andy dive headfirst into the wild world of animation! We’re rolling through three very different animated adventures: the trippy cult-classic Heavy Metal (1981), Pixar’s latest family-friendly cosmic quest Elio (2025), and the neon-fueled, music-powered chaos of K-Pop: Demon Hunters.

    From hard rock space operas to heartfelt alien misunderstandings to magical idol battles, we cover it all—while asking the big question: are these movies worth your cash, worth a sneaky stream, or not worth your time at all?

    Grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and join us for a colorful ride through animation history, hype, and hilarity—only on Pass, Pirate, Pay.

  • Creepy Kids
    Sep 9 2025

    This week Ken and Andy open the nursery door into the world of evil offspring and spine-tingling child terror. Our theme: Creepy Kids.

    👶 First up, we take on The First Omen (2024), a stylish prequel that tries to recapture the devilish dread of the classic franchise.
    🧸 Then we move into chilling psychological territory with Bring Her Back, where parental fears and supernatural twists collide.
    🔪 And finally, Weapons, a nightmare-fuel anthology of young innocence turned sinister.

    As always, we ask the big question: are these flicks worth the ticket price, a cheeky torrent, or just skipping altogether? Stick around for laughs, deep-cut film geekery, and a rating that could land anywhere from Pass, Pirate, or Pay.
