B Movie Breakdown

If you were thinking of the show where a mysterious ghost in a neighborhood bookstore brings together four kids who must work together to free fictional characters from works of literature, you are thinking of the wrong Ghost Writer. In this Ghost Writer, from 1989, a dead 1950's era starlet is stuck in limbo and must enlist the help of a Hollywood beat writer to help her pass onto the other side with plenty of crazy antics along the way. This Ghost Writer couldn't be more opposite than that beloved 90's PBS series, unless that show also starred Joey Travolta (yes, brother of John) as a guy so obsessed with the dead starlet that he carries around her death notice in his wallet, which we're 95% certain it did not. 

Prepare to escape reality, as the eccentric maniac known only as Ernest Powertools Worrell, finds himself in the middle of MI6, a rich ancient artifact collector, his thugs, the wife of his coconspirator professor and two vacuum cleaner salesmen as they all hunt down the same elusive relic...a revolutionary war canon that contains England's crown jewels! The winner of the prize gets to be king of England, but no matter who wins those gems, we all know the real winner is you, the viewer. If you want to forget about how heart wrenching and brutal the world is, if only for an hour and 90 minutes, let Ernest warm your heart with his 1990s insanity. Ernest Rides Again.

We conclude our 90s summer camp showdown with a visit to Camp Nowhere. A camp for kids, run by kids. A camp that isn't really a camp at all, but more of an escape from the misery that is computer camp, theater camp, military camp, or whatever other type of summer camp your parents sent you to. It's a place for a kid to be a kid and all they needed to make their camp happen was to blackmail a former drama teacher into tricking their parents they are going to those other boring camps. Seems like a flawless plan right? Join us as we continue our quest to end the debate and finally find out which 90s summer camp movie truly reigns supreme. 

Watch pure chaos as a summer camp becomes summer hell when Ben Stiller tries to whip a bunch of kids in to shape through very, let's just say, unconventional means. Borderline abuse becomes borderline absurdity as these kids, and a group of irritated counselors, battle to take this camp back from a deranged lunatic. Join us for the start of the 90's summer camp showdown as we discuss the Disney cult classic, Heavyweights. Next week the battle continues as we finally settle the debate over which 90s summer camp movie reigns supreme, Heavyweights or Camp Nowhere? 

When a war criminal decides to seak revenge on the commander who sentenced him to prison, a plane full of innocents is caught in the crossfire. Ice-T stars in this brutal battle of 20,000 feet as a fight attendant is pushed as far as she can go. Is she he a hero, or will she just be another victim? Let's talk about Air Rage, a movie that could have only happened before before that tragic September morning of 2001, because the things that happen in this plane...my goodness.

A heist gone wrong. A stranger, running from his past? His future? A rancher forced in to an impossible situation. To Hell And Gone is a wonderful film which pays tribute to the westerns and thrillers of the 1970s in a fresh, engaging and original way. By incorporating certain horror elements of the same era in to this contemporary spaghetti western, writer and director Kyle Moore brings to life his unique artistic vision that is an absolute must see. Reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez film in how different yet respectful it is of the genres that inspired it and captured in glorious 4k,  to Hell and Gone is a film you do not want to miss. Listen to the beginning of our episode for spoiler free thoughts and opinions, watch the movie, then keep listening as we get in to why we feel this movie is as successful as it is. To Hell And Gone is available everywhere you get your digital downloads.

Imagine a ruler who turns his nation's military forces against his own citizenry for expediant, political gain. Pretty far fetched, right? Super unbelievable, I bet you're thinking. When would this ever happen?! Well, to make matters worse, as if that's possible, what if this ruler has armed this elite fighting force with a newly invented weapon of precise destruction, a flying weapon of death, capable of decapitating his enemies in a matter of seconds. What would such a weapon even be called? This is the Flying Guillotine! Realizing that the system is corrupt, one soldier turns against his ruler in an all out war, leaving the justice of a nation hanging in the balance. Will good triumph over evil? Will one man's insane, political machinations be thwarted by the will of the people? Watch The Flying Guillotine, and then listen in to join our conversation.  But above all else, and in all seriousness, be careful out there.  History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes, and real life doesn't always have a happy ending like the movies, unless you stand up and make it so.

Heaven and hell. Clint Eastwood! Popeye! Dracula! The Exorcist! Kwai Chang Caine! James Bond! Zatoichi! Emmanuell! The Godfather!  Bruce Lee! But not really! A bunch of other crazy shit you probably shouldn't fast forward through even though your brain absolutely wants you to! Bruce Lee is alive again and he's about to go toe to toe with the king of the underworld and no one is prepared. Get ready to crap your pants, because you won't know what else to do with yourself! The Dragon Lives Again on today's episode but your sanity has come to die!

Sometimes when the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, a conglomeration of reanimated corpses is the hero you need. Gargoyles. Demons. Good vs. Evil. When existence itself is on the precipice of obliteration, one man's monster is another man's miracle. Or is he? I, Frankenstein is a powerful film that will destroy all your expectations on what it means to be brought back to life by the inherent energy 1000 electric eels.

Space is wild. Robots. Hell. Norman Bates. The Black Hole is a banger. Not quite star wars, not quite star trek, not quite Alien and not quite 2001 A Space Oddysey, it still delivers a fun mind being romp from a time gone by.
