Apocalypse Video

If at first you don’t succeed, hope to God you gain a following on Home Video…

And so is the story of Willow, a delightful fantasy adventure from George Lucas and Ron Howard that would garner a cult following that would endure decades past the original film’s release and eventually get its own sequel TV series on Disney Plus. Surely a big budget show with CW-esque characters and dialogue will catch on as much, if not more, than the original - right?

Right…?

Anyway, enough about that failure, let’s talk about the original box office disappointment: 1988’s Willow!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we cover ourselves with magical horny dust are fellow cinephiles and Daikini’s Mike, Jackie and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Listen as we discuss the disturbing amount of (made up) racial slurs thrown around in this film; we make a drinking game for every time a character says “Dust of Broken Hearts”; and finally, we salute Ron Howard, the most Okay-ist Director in Hollywood.

That’ll do it for this episode. Now out of my way, peck! I’ve got a big sack filled with the Dust of Broken Hearts, and that feline at the other end of the bar is calling to my inner brownie.

“Death has come to your little town, Sheriff…”

Just when you thought it was safe to take down your jack-o-lantern…Shocktober lives on! Because two horror fans (and the occasional special guest) refuse to let evil die tonight.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we begin a year-long retrospective on everyone’s favorite Captain Kirk Mask-wearing serial killer, is fellow horror fan and former Smith’s Grove patient, Nick “Immortan” Hoof.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the apparent lack of spatial awareness with the youth of the 1970s; we breakdown ButterGate and Annie’s complete disregard for the safety of Lindsey; and finally we wonder if the murder of three teenagers could have been prevented if Dr. Loomis had merely looked down the other side of the street three hours earlier.

On this very special episode of Apocalypse Video....it's a FILMVERSATION! That's right. Your favorite high-minded pretentious jerks Mike and Nick are ready to talk about serious "films” and how they're smarter than you because they made it through both Stalker AND Last Year in Marienbad.

Join Mike, Nick, Dave, Ryan, and Jackie as we dive into the career of who was arguably the brightest star to ever shine in Hollywood....Marilyn Monroe! The gang bookends her career focusing on an early highlight, Niagara (1953) and a later career masterpiece, Some Like It Hot (1959).

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me again as we ring in the spookiest day of the year are fellow horror hounds Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.

The Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular: Part II has now come to an end. Happy Halloween, everybody! We’ll see you next year. Until then, stay spooky!

Outside is dangerous…inside is terrifying.

With Halloween only days away, the Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular: Part II is nearing its terrifying conclusion. But before we deal with that nightmare we must first escape another, as John Goodman keeps us locked away/safely hidden in his underground bunker near his home on…10 Cloverfield Lane.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow horror hounds and people you would not want to share an underground bunker with, Nick “Immortan Hoof” and Special Guest: Madolyn/Becky (aka: the creepy Malignant-Twin).

Topics of discussion in this episode include one of the best All-Time Awkward Dinner scenes in Horror; we witness the most tense game of Taboo ever played; and finally, we pop the lid on Chekov's acid barrel.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the shower…

The Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular: Part II continues its bloody streak of terrifying madness with everyone’s favorite Mama’s boy, Norman Bates, in Psycho II.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we curse Ronald Reagan for those budget cuts to the country’s mental health programs are fellow horror hounds and recently cleared of murder charges by reasons of insanity Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Topics of discussion in this episode include Dennis Franz battling Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force for title of World’s Filthiest Human; we wonder how Norman’s psychological recovery would have gone if he had had Sam Loomis as his psychiatrist; and finally, conversely, we wonder what Michael Myers’ psychological recovery would have looked like if he had had Robert Loggia as his psychiatrist and not a crazy man who says “Evil!” every five minutes.

Topics of discussion in this episode include Final Destination 2 inadvertently becoming the best highway safety PSA ever made; Ryan tells us about the test audience who changed the course of a franchise; and finally, we take a look back at 2003 and it’s delightfully dated fashion trends and insults (Ex: “Bee-atch” - Variant of "bitch", as pronounced to further emphasize the expression.)

That little girl…she has red eyes…red - Devil eyes!!! God help us all!!!

I’m your Host and Captain, Dave, and joining me again are fellow Trekkies and non-imaginary friends Mike and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this assignment include the Hannibal Lecter-esque performance from Shay Astar (aka: Isabella); we share a collective yawn as the B-plot involves the ship being slightly slowed down; and finally - Brace Yourselves - Data and Guinan look at space clouds.
