Captain’s Log: Stardate 3842.3

The Trek Cast has returned to the Apocalypse Video airwaves after a lengthy hiatus - just in time…for Thanksgiving. And we thought what better way to celebrate the holiday, than with an awkward family reunion with Spock and his parents. I’m told that Spock hasn’t spoken to his father in eighteen years. I keep asking him about his Daddy issues, but he continues to shoot me down with his usual eye brow raise and glib remark about humans being stupid.

I plan on getting to the bottom of this little family drama, just as soon as I figure out what that spinny disk thing is floating outside my ship, mirroring our every move, and rocking us back and forth with continued laser blasts - all of this, and meanwhile Dr. McCoy performs a dangerous surgical transfusion between Spock and his Father. There’s so many plot twists in this episode, you’ll be shocked it’s not a two parter!

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me as we try not to slip and call the Tellarites “pig men” are fellow crew members, First Officer Jackie and Lieutenant Michael.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the rare TOS episode that actually delves into the character’s back stories in a meaningful way; we applaud the acting prowess of fan favorite Mark Lenard; and finally, we try to understand what Spock’s beef with Scotty was all about and why he had such an aversion to making him acting Captain of the ship.

Tonight, we bring you truly one of the most bizarre and unhinged films we’ve ever covered on this podcast. The subject: Xuxa, a musical entertainer who captured the hearts and minds of Brazilian children everywhere in the late 1980s, including the imagination, decades later, of one Ryan Caldwell.

But what Mr. Caldwell and his unsuspecting video store coworkers are about to discover - much to their horror - is that children’s entertainment in Brazil is a little different than it is in the States…

The film is Super Xuxa Vs Satan, and it comes to you from the Demented Kids section, located in the deepest, darkest regions…of Apocalypse Video.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we enter a world filled with filth covered sewer dwellers and talking pink dolphins are fellow cinephiles and recovering down mood’s Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the wild origin story of Xuxa, from her years as a Playboy Playmate to “Queen of Children”; we learn that Orange is the color of Positivity; and finally, we find out that while Super Xuxa may just be a Labyrinth ripoff, it may have actually originated “Under the Sea” a whole year before The Little Mermaid.

That’ll do it for this deeply unsettling look into late 80s Brazilian kids entertainment. Remember kids, be positive! And don’t let the Down Mood get ya down!

It’s Halloween, and that can mean only one thing; it’s time to re-reboot an aging horror franchise…again.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best to avoid getting peanut butter on our penises is fellow horror fan and true crime podcaster, Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a franchise so convoluted that some theatres had to make a video to explain the different subsets of varying continuity; we roll our eyes at the embarrassingly dated true crime podcasters; and finally, Nick gets a BINGO as we play Spot That Halloween Reference!

That’ll do it for this installment of our ongoing true crime podcast series where we analyze the crimes of the Halloween franchise. When we return, we’ll witness the birth of one of the most memorable lines from a horror film in recent times. See you then, kiddies!

Good evening and welcome to the final chapter of Apocalypse Video’s Vamptober Spooktacular, Live from Lestat’s Bar and Grill. Tonight, we put on our #TeamEdward t-shirts and embrace the inescapable phenomenon that was the 2008 box office sensation: Twilight.

I’m joined this evening by fellow cinephiles and blood suckers (of strictly deer, mind you), Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and special guest: Kara.

Topics of discussion in this episode include Twilight and its legion of nerdy fans, as well as the other legion of nerdy fans who despise them; we talk about Bella’s intoxicating blood musk; and finally, we dissect the infamous baseball scene and all of its comedy gold.

That will do it for the final act of Apocalypse Video’s Vamptober Spooktacular. We must now return to our coffins and go into slumber until we are needed again. Until next Shocktober, my fellow ghouls…blehhh!

Good evening, and welcome to the third chapter of Apocalypse Video’s Vamptober Spooktacular, Live from Lestat’s Bar and Grill. Tonight, we go overseas to Sweden and turn on the subtitles for a little piece of romantic horror from 2008 entitled, Let the Right One In.

I’m joined this evening by fellow cinephile and blood sucker, Cody.

Topics of discussion in this episode include two kids who belong on the Mount Rushmore of Kid Actors; we wonder what kind of movies Oskar is watching as he weirds out his classmates with his creepily extensive knowledge of crime scene factoids; and finally, we throw our support behind the school’s bully, Conny, as he rightfully bullies Oskar, the film’s chief protagonist and little freak boy.

That will do it for Act II of Apocalypse Video’s Vamptober Spooktacular. When we return, we’ll leave behind the rainy skies of Budapest and enter the snowy world of Swedish horror with…Let the Right One In.

I bid you welcome to this year’s Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular. I am Dave, and I am one of the undead…a vampire. I was a middle aged man of thirty eight when I was turned by one of my employees, a large headed, bespectacled predator in the night named Ryan.

In the year that followed, I would spend my nights feasting on the rodents and mutated deer that roamed in the darkness. I thought I would go mad without ever tasting of Taco Bell again, but overtime, I grew to love the warm blood of two headed rats and capri sun blood packs.

I eventually made some friends in the dark alleys of Bartertown; friends who shared my particular ailment of needing to feast on human blood. They took me in and made me a member of the poetry slam and fan-fic society at the local bar and grill.

Our podcast tonight takes place at that very establishment, Lestat’s Bar and Grill, during a very special month-long promotion, called Vamptober. Tonight’s feature: a screening of the 1994 Anne Rice classic…Interview with the Vampire.

I’m joined this evening by my fellow cinephiles and blood suckers Mike, Ryan, Jackie, and special guest: Janna.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the era of peak bad movie accents; Oprah tries to save our souls by walking out of a press screening; and finally, we play Marry, F@*K, Kill with Louis, Lestat, and Armand.

That will do it for the first act of Apocalypse Video’s newly christened "Vamptober Spooktacular". When we return, we’ll suit up in our tight fitting leather outfits and brandish our dual pistols as we descend into 2003’s Len Wiseman vampire-matrix mashup: Underworld.

Hey, folks; Dave here. One down, three to go, as I continue my month-long Apology Tour for my crimes committed this Summer. This time, perhaps fittingly, I’m taking the gang with me to church in an effort to atone for my cinema sins. But rather than relive the horrors of Mel Gibson and this past Jesus-ary, we’re lightening things up and getting back in the habit with the 1992 comedy classic, Sister Act.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on my court ordered public service are fellow cinephiles and witnesses in hiding, Ryan and Janna.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Sister Act induced not one, not two, but three cry moments from yours truly; Harvey Keitel shows us what a PG rated mob boss is and is not capable of; and finally, we learn that nuns don’t ask for permission, they pray for forgiveness.

That’ll do it for this leg of my Apology Tour. When we return, we’ll be taking a trip down to the southern hemisphere to battle the down mood with Super Xuxa contra Baixo Astral (aka: Super Xuxa vs. Satan).

Someone once wrote, “War is Hell”. Well, the same thing could be said for this latest run of my Apology Tour. We just watched a season 6 two-parter of M*A*S*H., a show that up until this point I had only seen the end credits of as a kid whenever I was waiting for something else to come on TV. It’s not that the show is bad, mind you, I just can’t shake the feeling that one of my co-hosts, a die hard M*A*S*H. fan, is giving me evil eyes whenever I don’t laugh along with the audience laugh track. We’ll see if I make it through this leg of the tour without getting beaten by my friends with the old “soap in a sock” routine.

Anyway, I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on this tour of duty are fellow TV-philes and brothers/sisters in arms, Mike and special guest: Janna.

Topics of discussion in this episode include as background on Klinger’s whole deal and his (more than likely) eventual turn to madness; Dave’s Hawkeye impression could use some serious work; and finally, we try to explain Alan Alda’s animal magnetism.

That’ll do it for this episode, folks. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I need to get the hell out of here. I think I see the rest of my unit in the shadows creeping over to my bunk…and they’re carrying socks…

Hello, People of the Wasteland. My name is Dave, Store Manager of Apocalypse Video, and I would like to read you the following statement I have prepared:

And with that, I hope you enjoy the first entry in my Apology Tour, 1999’s box office smash: The Mummy.”

I’m your host who’s skating on thin ice, Dave, and joining me as we kick off a batch of watchable movies for a change are fellow cinephiles and crypt robbers Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the famed “Summer of ‘99” (aka: the year of dual wielding pistols and CG bugs entering people’s bodies); we talk about the decades long journey to bring The Mummy to screen, which included the likes of Joe Dante and Clive Barker; and finally, we talk about the Mummy’s place in a crowded summer dominated by The Matrix and Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace.
