Eric and Neil jump into the waters of James Cameron's cult classic, The Abyss. While it wasn't a huge box office success, constant showings on premium and basic cable brought in a devoted audience. We watched the special edition and were amazing how great it looks today. Grab some of that liquid oxygen and join us!
Eric and Neil talk about the flop turned cult classic from 1997, Even Horizon. Its a movie with a great sets and atmosphere, but it can't execute its own ideas. Put on your space underwear, suck in your gut and join us!

David returns! He joins Eric and Neil to talk about one of the best Kaiju movies of all time, Gamera: Guardian of the Universe. Gamera has always been seen as the off brand Godzilla, but that perception was changed with this quick paced and action packed monster movie. Grab some turtle wax and join us!
Monster March continues as Eric and Neil talk about this pretty enjoyable movie from 1980, Alligator. The John Sayles script is better than it needs to be, and Robert Forster's performance is also top notch. Mind your hairline and join us!
Eric and Neil kick off "Monster March" with the second movie in the "Heisei" era of Godzilla movies, Godzilla Vs. Biollante. The monster effects are amazing, but a little too late to redeem a super slow movie. Run away from a giant monster and join us!
