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.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day - Action
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
What is there to say about T2 except "WOW!" It's damn near a perfect movie and the guys just gush about everything. From the film to the toys to the comics to the video games (well maybe not the video games) this movie has it all. There's even a healthy discussion about how this could be the perfect gateway for younger folks to get into action movies. The best part is that Charlie, Nate and Pete got to watch this masterpiece together. What a way to start out the year.

Troll Hunter - Horror
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
Pete certainly has a type when it comes to movies. Films that are atmospheric, subtitled, beautifully shot and much of the time have something to say other than the surface plot. While Troll Hunter is a flawed movie, it's still impressive for what they pulled off on such a small budget. Caution: this is a found footage film that both suffers and succeeds within the genre but the good outweighs the bad and it's a strong recommend....at least from two of us.

Violent Night - Action
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
Nate and Pete totally missed the boat seeing Violent Night in the theaters. They couldn't quite put their fingers on why the marketing just didn't pull them in but thanks to Charlie's constant encouragement (beratement, nagging, call it what you like), the two bumbleducks finally did see this masterpiece and have added it to their annual holiday movie celebration. I'm sending you all the best present ever by telling you to see this film if you haven't already! If you don't see it right away then you'll be on the naughty list and that means you'll have to watch the Feast Trilogy.

Dead Snow 2 - Horror
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Dead Snow 2 is a wild ride not without it's flaws. The kills and gore rival Turbo Kid in ridiculousness and absurdity. With it's twist on the modern day vision of zombies, this is a must see film for your next drinking night with your friends. Don't listen to Charlie, this one is a whole lotta fun.

I Come in Peace - Action
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
While "I Come in Peace" (aka Dark Angel) isn't a classic in the usual sense, it's certainly a must see for a pizza and beer night with your movie friends. Literally this is a buddy cop movie with drug dealing space aliens as the antagonist and it's as absurd as it sounds. A shirtless Dolph Lundgren doesn't hurt either. It's definitely a strong recommend for your next alcohol fueled movie night.

Feast Trilogy - Horror
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Sorry folks. We had plans to cover a trilogy of movies this week but instead sat through a tire fire that almost drove the show off a cliff. It was still a fun conversation and we regret nothing except for the fact that we lost nearly four hours of our lives watching one of the worst trilogies ever put to celluloid. Under no circumstances should you watch all three Feast movies, not even out of morbid curiosity. You've been warned. Please just listen to the show and save your time and sanity. Eff this trilogy...or as Charlie said in the group chat "Triple eff these movies"!!!!!

Cliffhanger - Action
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
Cliffhanger was a first time watch for Nate and Pete and they were honestly a little disappointed they missed this on the big screen. To be fair, the plot premise on the surface is lacking but the film is surprisingly exciting. Is it a Die Hard clone, of course it is. The film doesn't try to hide that fact but still, it's a lot of fun for it's absurd physics defying action sequences. If you don't take it too seriously you're sure to have a good time with this wonderful popcorn film.

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.
