Episodes

Eric and Neil take a trip to Van Damme country with this thick slice of cheese. It's entertaining and of its time, but is it a good movie? Grab a bag of ice and join us!
Eric and Neil continue our voyage into the lesser sequels of amazing movies. This week we tackle Robocop 2, it's entertaining and mean spirited, but doesn't have the heart of the original.

Eric and Neil hit the way back button to the year 1990 to talk about Predator 2. It's a balls to the wall look at the hellscape of futuristic 1997. It's very entertaining, but no where near as good as the original. Put on your bullet proof vest and join us!

They say you should never look back. Eric and Neil find that out when they watch the Wes Craven Voodoo movie, The Serpent and the Rainbow.
