Welcome to the future—where prisons are just islands full of murderers, and Ray Liotta is not having it. No Escape (1994) throws a disgraced Marine onto a lawless island, where survival means teaming up with the good convicts to fight the really bad ones. It’s part Mad Max, part Lord of the Flies, and all ‘90s action insanity. With explosions, jungle warfare, and one-liners delivered at maximum intensity, this movie asks: What if Cast Away had way more knives?

Hosts: James Hauser, Brian Bzdawka, Stephanie Farrell, Ryan Mattila

When the system fails, Frank Castle takes matters—and a whole lot of ammo—into his own hands. The Punisher (2004) delivers explosions, revenge, and enough brooding to last a lifetime. Thomas Jane brings the pain, John Travolta brings the overacting, and somewhere in between, there’s a popsicle torture scene we’re still trying to figure out. Is it the gritty revenge flick we needed, or just two hours of Castle frowning in a leather vest?

Let’s break it down, one bullet at a time.

Hosts: James Hauser, Bob Hauser, David Hillestad, Ryan Farrell

A magical scroll, a kung fu monk, and Sean William Scott—what could go wrong? In Bulletproof Monk, a centuries-old warrior teams up with a pickpocket to save the world from bad guys who really want that scroll. It’s got gravity-defying stunts, a plot full of holes, and dialogue that’ll make you cringe. But somehow, it’s still weirdly fun. Join us as we unpack this mix of kung fu, comedy, and early 2000s chaos.

Hosts: James Hauser, Nicole Frier, Ryan Mueller, Joe Goratowski

What do ninjas, aerobics, and supernatural possession have in common? Absolutely nothing. In Ninja III: The Domination, a ninja’s spirit takes over an aerobics instructor, turning her into a vengeance machine and she starts taking cops out like it's her day job. It’s wall-climbing, sword-swinging chaos with a side of ‘80s cheese. Does it make sense? Nope. Is it awesome? You bet.

What happens when the government plays matchmaker with alien DNA? You get Species, a movie where the science is shaky, the decisions are worse, and the alien just wants to settle down and start a family—by any means necessary. Sil is on the loose, and it’s up to a team of scientists, a mercenary, and a guy who “feels vibes” to track her down. Spoiler: they’re not great at their jobs. Is it scary? Kind of. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. Is it entertaining? You bet. So grab a seat, and let’s dig into one of the wildest sci-fi thrillers of the decade.

Hosts: James Hauser, Ryan Farrell, Genevieve Hauser, Brian Bzdawka

You may think that you're the heroes of this little adventure, but you're not. Borderlands, when it was released, was met with a firestorm of negativity from fans of the game to general audience members that even people who have never seen it assume it's terrible. Here, we amass a small group of people, some who played the games and some who didn't to see if it really deserves it's terrible reputation. Kevin Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett and Jack Black all signed onto what they though would be their next franchise, and here we pick pu the pieces of the aftermath.

Hail to the king, baby! This week, we’re cracking open the Necronomicon (but definitely saying the words properly) to dive into Army of Darkness. Sam Raimi’s third entry in the Evil Dead series is equal parts slapstick comedy, medieval nonsense, and epic one-liners. Join us as we unpack Ash’s journey from a mundane retail employee to chainsaw-handed legend, all while battling Deadites and his own colossal ego. Was this movie a misunderstood gem of B-movie brilliance, or just a skeleton army-sized disaster? Featuring chainsaw etiquette tips, questionable 1300s science, and the ultimate answer to whether Bruce Campbell’s chin alone can carry a franchise.

Two idiots pretending their boss isn't dead so they can talk to chicks and drink free alcohol. That about sums up the plot, but somehow this movie has stood the test of time and is widely considered a classic by many children of the 80s. The movie proves that a surprising amount of comedy can be wrung out from even the thinest of premises, but does that mean it deserves its spot or has it been horribly overrated by Gen X? Weekend at Bernie's is on the block!
