Found on Shelf

In CGI Flydays, Dustin, Gimcrack, and returning guest Gabe dive into S.S. Rajamouli’s gloriously excessive 2012 Telugu fantasy-revenge film about a murdered man reincarnated as a CGI housefly. What begins as a romantic melodrama quickly becomes a full-scale Looney Tunes assassination campaign involving fly vision, micro armor, tiny weapons, occult sparrows, an increasingly unhinged billionaire, and one of the most spectacularly over-the-top fiery finales ever committed to film. We discuss why

Due to some....complications we need to take a short break. Have no fear, Dustin and Patrick will be resurre....I mean they will return shortly. Wait, if they are gone then who am I? Maybe I can finally use this space to write the next great American Novel. Hmmm, but there's a character limi

Then, after we politely let our guest escape the cursed video store, we spiral straight into the 2015 horror oddity My Bloody Banjo. Along the way: We uncover the horrors of modern “imaginary friends” Debate the

This week on Found on Shelf, we dive headfirst into the flaming chaos of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance—a sequel so unhinged it feels like it was filmed during a caffeine-fueled exorcism. Join us as we break down Nicolas Cage at peak Cage energy, from demonic transformations to the infamous “scraping at the door” scene that will haunt your dreams. Is this a misunderstood cult classic… or a full-blown cinematic meltdown? We talk: The bizarre editing and “filmed while being chased by bees” ci
