Episodes
Spider-Man is so hot right now, so Eric and Neil talk about one of the low points in the saga of the wallcrawler, Spider-Man 3 from 2007. Too many plot points, too many villains and way too cheesy. Eric thinks it's still fun, Neil does not. Grab a slice of pie and join us!
Eric and Neil jump back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to talk about one of the greatest movies of the series, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This movie changed Captain America's reputation from goody two shoes, to a bad ass. We also talk quite a bit about the new Spider-Man movie. So spoilers are abound. Grab your super bubble gum and join us!
Eric and Neil talk about the minor hit from 1996, Executive Decision. We talk about all the controversy involving Steven Seagal and what a joy he is in general. Grab your trusty toothpick and join us!
Eric and Neil get back to the roots of the podcast and talk about the 1984 cult classic, Angel. It's a look at sleazy time on Hollywood Boulevard, with ladies of the night being stalked by a serial killer, and Angel is caught in the middle. It's a movie that manages to rise about it's exploitation material. Grab some raw eggs and join us!
Eric and Neil once again tackle another Stephen King adaptation, this time it's Cujo from 1983. It's slow but has some moments of excitement. We talk about the great Sam Neill and all things Stephen King. Get in your Ford Pinto and join us!
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, Neil and Eric talk about this mega sequel from 1978. Like most sequels of the era, its basically the same story told with less flare and more engineered scares. We talk about the 70's vibe and our love for that time. Get on your tiny boat and join us!
Eric and Neil dive into one of most popular domestic thrillers of the nineties. We ask the important questions like, "Would your wife hire this nanny?" Grab your baby monitor and join us!
Eric and Neil talk about the 1994 action comedy movie, True Lies. James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger together again. This is arguably the last great Arnold action movie. We talk about the amazing action and great special effects, and maybe a few things that haven't aged that well. Jump in your Harrier jet and join us!
Eric and Neil tackle this cheese fest in honor of the release of the new movie. This version is a low budget Cannon Films cash grab trying to breathe life in a dying toy franchise. Is it good, no. Is it entertaining, no! It has its moments of fun though. Grab your magic synth key and join us!
Eric and Neil are joined by David to talk about the Y2k horror/action movie, End of Days. It's a very late 90's movie. Arnold isn't up to his previous form as he seems to sleepwalk through the movie. Grab your pizza and beer smoothie and join us!
Eric and Neil tackle another road horror movie, this time it's Joy Ride from 2001. It's pretty entertaining, but also a little dumb. Eric enjoyed it more than Neil. Grab your CB radio and join us!
David joins us unprepared as Eric and Neil talk about the cult classic, Deep Rising (1998). Eric thinks it's a fun movie, David and Neil think otherwise. Get on your Jet Ski and join us!
Eric and Neil continue our 1990's safari with the jungle adventure movie, Congo. Eric thought it was fun, but it tested Neil's patience. Grab your monkey laser blaster and join us!
David returns this week to join Eric and Neil to talk about the fun survival horror romp, Wrong Turn from 2003. We also chat a bit about the new Netflix movie Apex. Grab a map and join us!
Eric and Neil talk about the pretty decent monster run amok in a museum movie, The Relic. It has a decent cast and great Stan Winston effects. We also talk about all sorts of other side stuff too. Grab a hot cup of psychedelic tea and join us!
Eric and Neil tackle the very fun and entertaining Sylvester Stallone movie, Demolition Man. We both were surprised how much we liked it after not seeing it in ages. Stallone and Snipes are both having a great time. Grab Some Taco Bell and join us!
David returns this week and helps Eric and Neil talk about the 1994 Jean Claude Van Damme movie, Timecop. It's probably his most mainstream movie. There is still a lot of kicking though. Comb out your mullet and join us!
Eric and Neil continue our slow crawl through the Marvel Cinematic Universe with The Avengers from 2012. We talk about Joss Wheadon and all of his baggage. How far superhero movies have come. Grab an Infinity Stone and join us.
In honor of the late Chuck Norris, Eric, Neil and David revisit the most "Chuck Norris" move of all time, Lone Wolf McQuade. It still holds up as one of the most ridiculously macho movies of all time. Grab a can of Pearl beer and join us!
Eric, Neil and David talk about Wes Craven's Swamp Thing from 1982. It's a beloved cult comic book turned into a mediocre man in rubber suit monster romp. It has a few fun scenes, but its mostly old Swampy throwing people around and running around the swamp. Grab your pocket snake and join us!
