This week on Shat the Movies, we roll for initiative with Dungeons & Dragons (2000), a fantasy flop packed with rubbery dragons, chaotic CGI, and Jeremy Irons chewing every piece of scenery in sight.

Shat the Movies ask, what are the best 80s & 90s movies? Do you find yourself asking if the movies we loved while growing up were really that good?
