While there are new movies that are fun and enjoyable, they just don‘t have the same impact as the Action and Horror Movies we remember as kids/teenagers. So we figured we were not alone in our nostalgia and created a podcast to entertain people who feel the same as us. We will talk about what made certain movies so memorable. We will talk about a movie so cheesy but still makes us smile. We will share a memory of watching a movie for the first time.

Wishmaster - Horror
Tuesday Nov 14, 2023
Tuesday Nov 14, 2023
OMG! Where has this movie been all my life??? Well Charlie saw it but the dynamic dingos, Nate and Pete, had never been graced with the glory of the Wishmaster. Thank goodness that's been corrected and we couldn't be happier that it's now part of our lives. Is it a great film? Not really. Is it entertaining AF? You betcha. If you haven't, go see this right now. Go on now. Go to Tubi. Watch it. I'm warning you. I will turn this car around!!!

Executive Decision - Action
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Executive Decision has a lot of things going for it, star-studded cast, impressive miniatures and effects, stunning cinematography, excellent action and a story that is all too real. So why isn't it recognized as one of the great action movies of the 90s? Is it too long? Is Steven Segal an ass? Is Nate a nut job? Tune in as we try to explore those and other questions in this episode.
P.S. I'm pretty sure we all know the answer to that last question.

The Crow - Horror
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
This week Nate insisted we cover The Crow for Halloween even though Ernest Scared Stupid also takes place on All Hallows Eve and is way more of a horror movie. But good news, Troy also dropped in for this big screen adaptation of the classic action/revenge comic book. Strap in folks. This one's a ride for sure.
"It can't rain all the time...."

Ernest Scared Stupid - Action
Tuesday Oct 24, 2023
Tuesday Oct 24, 2023
Ernest Scared Stupid is without a doubt easy to love on every level. Is it dumb? Yes. Is it childish? Of course. Are there plot holes? Sure.
But even with all it's "faults" it's quite possibly the perfect gateway movie to get young cinephiles into the horror genre. Jim Varney as Ernest P. Worrell is a delightful living Loony Tune character, the world lost one of the good ones too soon and we miss him dearly. Do yourself a favor and start making this film a family holiday tradition.
Happy Halloween

Horror of Dracula - Horror
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Starting in 1958, British movie studio Hammer rolled the dice and put forth their best effort in reviving the classic characters Dracula, Frankenstein and the Mummy for a new generation. Horror of Dracula was their first film and they knocked it out of the park. With jaw-dropping sets, buxom babes, sweeping musical scores and legendary performances from the likes of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Hammer Studios definitely hit the floor running with a true classic catapulting our favorite monsters back in to the spotlight.

John Carpenter’s Vampires - Action
Tuesday Oct 10, 2023
Tuesday Oct 10, 2023
This week's Spooky Month episode wasn't very difficult for Charlie to pick. Because once again he was able to blend Action and Horror with the help of one of his favorite directors take on vampire movies with... John Carpenter's Vampires.
Join the guys as they dive into 90s era Carpenter and find out just how much Charlie loves this particular time of Carpenters career much to Pete's chagrin.

Freddy vs Jason - Horror
Tuesday Oct 03, 2023
Tuesday Oct 03, 2023
Even though the film was in production hell for well past these franchise's experation dates, the excitement for a Freddy v Jason movie was through the roof. The frenzied anticipation was too much for even these icons of cinema and fair or not, the film fell flat with the fans. Keenly aware that I'm quickly running out of alliterations, we'll simply say this; Freddy v Jason isn't as good as it could have been but it's really not as bad as it's been called. For heavens sake, it's a supernatural slasher, don't take it so damn seriously, bitch.
But to make sure we had all our bases covered we invited the hosts of CinemaSlab, Anna, Hannah, and Hunter to come on and give their opinions as well!

Desperado - Action
Tuesday Sep 26, 2023
Tuesday Sep 26, 2023
There comes a time where every boy must become a man. It’s a time of passage that is passed on from generation to generation. Now at the ripe age of 35 it is time for Nate to take that step into manhood by watching Desperado. Even though his parents told him he’s not allowed to watch this one.... Shows what they know! He'll watch whatever he wants and stay up as late as he wants.
So join the guys as they cover quite possibly the sexiest action movie ever for Nate's final birthday pick.... Desperado.

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers - Horror
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Since his arrival Pete's been guilty of trying to bring some class to the podcast by selecting films that have something to say or are even artful. Much to the delight of Charlie and Nate this is not one of those times. Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers is as advertised. Hookers from Hollywood killing John's with chainsaws. That's it. Boobs, blood and...well...boobs. It's definitely a strong recommend for a hilariously good time!

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengence - Action
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
You may not know it but movies and television like Kill Bill, 13 Assassins, and The Professional, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us all owe Lone Wolf and Cub a great debt of gratitude even if Charlie and Nate wrongly dislike it. Thankfully the cultured stylings of Troy and Pete were able to team up with the Reviewing History Podcast's Brian Ruppert to set them straight. We talk about the Edo Period of Japanese history and examine the classic samurai tale and it's relationships to modern cinema. Oh and did I mention the glorious blood fountains cause we got those too. So many blood fountains.
