This week, Travis is joined by Dennis Robinson of Botched Podcast to talk about the 1981 werewolf movie The Howling. Released the same year as An American Werewolf in London, and directed by Joe Dante. It may not be the best werewolf movie released that year, but it certainly is the horniest one. And be on the lookout for a young Robert Picardo along with Dee Wallace. So, is this one worth a howl at the full moon? Let's find out...
This week, we're heading in to Cyberspace with Emily Swan to talk about the 1995 Cyberpunk movie Johnny Mnemonic. Starring Keanu Reeves, Dina Meyer and Takeshi Kitano, and based on a short story by William Gibson. Set in the future of 2021, Johnny is a data courier who has loaded a whopping 320 GB (more than twice his capacity) and now needs to get it out of his head before it kills him. And before the Yakuza sent to recover the data can take his head. Is it a cyber-adventure worth taking? Or just fully of Techo-silliness? Let's find out...
This week, Hammond Chamberlain is back on the show and he brought a film that is near and dear to him, The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972). Travis hadn't even heard of this movie before it was brought up, so this is a brand new experience. It's set in 1918, when a couple of young children from London move in to a new house on an old and presumeably haunted estate in the countryside. When they meet the ghosts of Sara and Georgy they learn that they are not dead. At least, not yet. But also, that they will be. It's time travel, ghost story, and a lot of heart. But did Travis enjoy it as much as Hammond? Let's find out...
Kevin Cafferty is back this week to talk about one of his all time favorite films, Singin' in the Rain (1952). Travis had never seen this before. It's a story about silent film actors making the transition to talkies. Also, movie stars who share on screen romance, but can't stand each other. So, is this really one of the best musicals of all time? Or is it a cringe worth product of it's time? Let's find out...

Starring James Brolin and set in New York City, it's about an ex-cop who's daughter is kidnapped, and his race to find her and get her back, over the course of one day.

Set in a near future dystopia where literal time is currenty, it stars Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. With Cillian Murphy, and written and directed by Andrew Niccol.

It's fate vs choice, crossing paths and just missing each other all over NYC, with Jeremy Piven, Molly Shannon, and a scene stealing Eugene Levy. So, is this one worth a watch over 20 years later? Or just a product of late 90s Rom-Com silliness? Let's find out...
This week, Amy Frost and Phil Keating are back to continue indocrinating Travis in to the cult of Wes Anderson with Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009). It's Wes Anderson, it's stop motion animation, it's based on a Roald Dahl book, AND it stars George Clooney and Meryl Streep. So, is this one Travis plans to watch on a regular basis?

Drew Burriss of The More You Nerd is back on the show to talk about the 1997 Paul Verhoeven film Starship Troopers. Travis had never seen it before, so it's time to fix that. Based on the book by Robert Heinlein, it's a look at a distopian future where humans are at war with Arachnids in a fight for survival.

We are kicking off Cage-A-Palooza 2025 with a movie that is not only Nicolas Cage, but also David Lynch. That's right, those two worked together once, and the result was 1990's Wild at Heart.

Cunningham, and staring Betsy Palmer and featuring a young Kevin Bacon. Does the movie that started the franchise hold up after over 40 years?

This week, Travis is joined by Steve (HewhoisSteve) of the Botched Podcast to talk about the 1951 film, The Thing from Another World. A huge inspiration to John Carpenter, who later went on to remake it as The Thing in 1982. But is that really a remake? It's more like a retelling of the novella Who Goes There? from 1938. Steve and Travis talk about adaptation in media, and how different eras can produce a very different film, but with similar stories. So, is it fair to call this movie an "unfaithful" adaptation?

This week, Jay Funktastic is back to talk about the cult classic Road House. Released in 1989 starring Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, and Sam Elliott, it's about the best Cooler in the business. An Western masquerading as an 80s action film, but with a lead who's as much philospher as he is fighter. So, is it a movie that lives up to the status of cult classic? Or did it deserve the 5 Razzie award nominations? We'll also get some Drive-In totals for this one! And check out Jay's movie Monsters Anonymous on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@monstersanonymous

It's the story of a week in wine country for friends Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Haden Church) and their misadventures as they deal with mid life, finding themselves, and drinking wine.

This week, Diddi returns to talk about the 2018 DC comics adaptation of Aquaman. Starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Patrcik Wilson.

Car chases, shootouts, one liners, and the most unhinged way of cutting a pizza you'll ever see are all in this one. But does it deserve the cult classic status? Is it 80s cheese in a good way?

It's time to explore the multiverse with Searanex. He has never seen 2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once, so we are fixing that. It won several Academy Awards, including acting for Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Universe hopping, elaborate fight sequences, a lot of "Wait, What?" moments, and the strangest version of "Chekov's Gun" you may ever see. So, is it worth all the hype? Let's find out...

This week, Kitlondon is back to talk about more AI. This time though, we're going back to the early 80s, and it's less about AI, and more about hacking. We watched Wargames, starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. When a High School student hacks in to a government computer thinking he's just playing a game, he accidently puts in to motion events that could start World War III. So, is it just a product of it's time, dated and out of touch? Or is there more here that makes it the classic that some believe it to be? Let's find out...

It stars Sylvester Stallone (in a roll very unlike a lot of his movies before this), Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, and Ray Liotta. Along with a host of other faces you've seen before. NYPD Cops have created a quiet little community just over the bridge in New Jersey, but when a young officer is involved in a deadly shooting, what lengths will they go to to cover it up? And will the Sheriff in their small town sit by and let it all happen? Or is he going to stand up, and put an end to things? Let's find out...

Woody is a comic book writer and artist, living in Paris with his best friend and CIA fileclerk Harry when he is recruited to do a simple document drop off. But Woody pretends to be an actual spy, and ends up over his head with Russian spies trying to defect, car chases, boat chases, and even a glider escape. But is the movie just some cheesy movie for kids? Or is there more heart to it than that? And did Oliver Reed really have to go so hard in his role as Krokov? Let's find out...
