Be Kind, Please Rewind!

Swamp Thing is back in the Bayou! With a new suit and accent, Dick Durock once again stars in The Return of Swamp Thing (1989). A loose sequel to the 1982 film, Abbie Arcane (Heather Locklear) appears at Anton Arcane's mansion, seeking to find out what happened to her mother many years prior.

Little does she know, her DNA is a key ingredient that Arcane needs to make his magical swamp formula! The good news is that she loves plants and Swamp Thing likes to follow around and protect young women.

Directed by the great Wes Craven, Swamp Thing (1982) is a hard-to-find cult classic that follows the adventures of mad scientist Anton Arcane as he chases down a magic formula that has transformed Dr. Alec Holland into Swamp Thing!

Swamp Thing also protects (and stares at) government agent Alice Cable as she is on the run from Arcane also. Nothing says romance like a bath in a murky swamp filled with alligators!

In this milestone episode, we take a closer look at the greatest B-movie of all-time, Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) by the Chiodo Brothers, who are widely known for their special effects in movies such as Critters and Ernest Scared Stupid.

In this movie, aliens resembling clowns stop by earth to re-stock their fridge (are the dogs safe??). Can the local goofball college students and their police officer friend save the day?

Time for a double-header! First, we look at James Gunn's Superman (2025) [aka James Gunn Present Superman IV: A Quest for Peace Part 2] and the spiritual successor to some Superman show, the first season of The New Adventures of Superman (1966).

Last season, we did an in-depth review of Captain America (1990). Little did we know that Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Video would release the restored Director's Cut! Join us as we discuss the merits of this version of the film.

New cult classic? Is this version great? Is this version good? Is the disliked original better than the director's vision? Let's find out together as we explore Captain America: The Pyun Cut!

Time for another Super episode! This time we set our sights on Superman: The Last Son of Krypton (1996), otherwise known as the first three episodes of the popular Superman: The Animated Series.

Join us as we look at the double-episode TV pilot of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which aired from 1993-1997. While the plot is a little all-over-the-place in the pilot, we get to see what many would argue is the collectively best cast in the history of Superman, including Dean Cain (Superman), Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane), Lane Smith (Perry White), and John Shea (Lex Luthor).

Look up!

Welcome back to the conclusion of the Christopher Reeve's Superman era! Not counting the horrid spiritual successor, Superman Returns, of course.

Featuring the returning Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), this movie sees Superman take over the world! Not really, but Superman does try to force the end of the nuclear age, and what could go wrong with that?

Plus, we get what could have been a really cool villain (Nuclear Man). And we almost got to see Bizarro, but his scenes were cut...

And now for something completely different...

While not well received by Superfandom, we argue that compared to many 1980s films, Superman III (1983) has aged like a fine wine. Where else can you get Richard Pryor as a mad scientist (of sorts), the prototype for Zach Snyder's Superman, the first (unofficial) Brainiac, and a rude Superman who throws beer nuts?

Come join the fun with Superman III.

Intended as a legacy sequel to Superman I and II, Superman returns to earth after abandoning the earth and a pregnant Lois for 5 years! Working under the assumption she still received the kiss of amnesia, you would think this would set up an interesting plot for a movie, but...not so much.

Thankfully, this podcast is significantly shorter than the runtime of Superman Returns (2006)! Come join us!
