Episode 106 - 25 Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time?

November 14, 2018

Paste Magazine recently released their giant list of the 100 Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time, so we thought we would take a crack at their top 25. Were they way off-base? Did they get it just right? We know that YOU know that OUR opinions matter more, so listen in as we take it apart!

Beforehand, Steve regales us with first-hand stories of the California wildfires. Also, Nerdy News of the future of Game of Thrones and a new Star Wars TV series! And before our feature, can you guess if it’s a classic Sci-Fi film title or an indie band? Plus, Would You Rather, Radical Recommends, and Trailer Reviews of Detective Pikachu and Toy Story 4!

Intro music provided with permission by the awesome Jimmy Hinson of Big Giant Circles. Find him Bandcamp or iTunes!

It’s Halloween! In honor of that, we have very special Copy Cat Cinema! This time with the two 1981 classics, The Howling and American Werewolf in London! We’ll debate the merits of each and delve deep into the trivia for each practical effects heavy film.

Episode 104 - European Vacation(s)

October 26, 2018

Jarman just got back from a long trip across northern Europe…so what better time to review the 1985 classic…National Lampoon’s European Vacation?! Ok…maybe not that classic. But it was a fun ride to watch and review.

Steve also regales us with some European trivia, takes a new spin on our old game with Europop Band or Smut Search, we throw in some Radical Recommends, and then Trailer Reviews of The Kid Who Would Be King and Netflix’s Bird Box.

It’s mentioned in the podcast before it begins, but we want to once again apologize for some audio distortion throughout this episode. It wasn’t evident as the episode was recording. We are trying to address the issue so it will not disturb your ears next time!

Episode 102 - Get to the Choppa!

September 20, 2018

In “honor” of the new film “The Predator” releasing in theaters, we bring you our in depth review of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Predator! We’ll take you through every gunshot, explosion and cheesy one liner. We’ll also go over the timeline of the entire Predator film franchise. It’s a doozy.

For Nerdy News we cover the progress lab grown meat has made in the last couple of years, and the future of The Walking Dead franchise.

Then enjoy a short history lesson of a real hunter/predator from American history, Buffalo Bill!

We even made time for Would You Rather, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of the horror comedy Killer Kate and the much anticipated Marvel flick, Captain Marvel!
