2023 somehow felt like it lasted 2 weeks and 10 years at the same time. But how did the movies we watched affect this time paradox? Which movie moment felt like it took forever? Which character would we most like to erase from history? And where does "zen filmmaking" fit into all of this? Find out in the 2023 Schlocky Awards!

As we step into a new year of old B-movies, we take an episode to reflect on School of Schlock's 2016.

What visual effects left us reeling, and what moment or line in a film left us the most nauseated? Find out in our first annual Schlocky Awards, where we crown the Worst of 2016 before we move forward to start fresh in 2017! Happy New Year!

This film is more fun than a pack of wild skulls! This week Tom and Ryan talk about decorative ponds, bad paintings, creepy folktales, and...oh yeah, a greedy husband's nefarious murder plot and the heroic skeleton ghost that stops it from happening! At least, I think that's the plot of The Screaming Skull.
