One of my favorite things on Earth that I do is a tradition among various current and former Wizard staffers (a lot more former than current at this point!) called the Manly Movie Mamajama. On a more or less quarterly basis, 10-20 of us will get together some night, get a ton of beer and junk food, and watch three macho-ish genre movies in a row while hooting and hollering at the screen. It’s kind of like Mystery Science Theater 3000, only with more drunken screaming of the word “YEAH!!!!” for each topless scene and exploding head.

Because I feel like it, here is a rundown of each MMM we’ve done so far–the themes and the films.
