Episode 130 - Top 21 Zombie Films of All Time

October 11, 2019

In honor of the upcoming release of Zombieland 2, we take an arbitrary list of the top 21 zombie films of all time from Collider, found HERE and we discuss what they got right, got wrong, what they might have missed, and some crazy crap we just haven’t seen before. What do you think they got wrong?

We’ll also keep on topic with some “real life” zombie trivia and play a game of Slow Zombies or Fast Zombies?!

For Trailer Reviews we’ll take from New York Comic Con and jump into some upcoming TV, with the Walking Dead teen spin-off series, a new Picard trailer, and a sneak peak of season 2 of Netflix’s Lost In Space.

For Radical Recommends, check out Vacuum Wars on YouTube. Trust us; you never could imagine being so enthralled by videos about vacuums!

Episode 108 - Star Trek: Nemesis Film Review!

December 2, 2018

This week we continue our long-running series of reviewing all the Muppet and Star Trek films with Star Trek: Nemesis! Worst Star Trek film? Or simply misunderstood?

Since the film heavily features the planets Romulus and Remus, Steve delves into the “real life” Romulus and Remus from myth and legend.

We also have Nerdy News of retiring and debuts of pop culture characters and unethical genetic editing.

Also, some Technobabble Imrpov, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of Mary Poppins Returns, The Lion King, and Anna and the Apocalypse.

Episode 101 - Star Trek Insurrection Film Review!

September 12, 2018

We continue our long running series of reviewing every film in the Muppets and Star Trek film franchises with an in depth review of Star Trek: Insurrection! Generally considered a “meh” film, see if our opinions differ from that!

Steve will give us a lesson about real life insurrections throughout history. We also have Nerdy News of UFOs possibly monitoring Donald Trump and child warfare that may have prepared early humans for everyday life.

Then we’ll have the return of Technobabble Improv! Where Steve is given a randomized bit of dialog full of Treknobabble, and he has to improv a short scene to go with it.

Following that we have some Radical Recommends, a game of Would You Rather, and then Trailer Reviews of the Halloween reboot (ish) and the UFO flick, Beyond the Sky.
