In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Brett Stewart, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Jackie Hern, delve into 1977’s ‘Kentucky Fried Movie.’

This episode, we feature the return of Jackie Hern, who guests with Brett, David, and Nicole in their first encounter with the team of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker. ZAZ honed their skills together in university comedy theater, and took advantage of how sketch comedy was taking off with the advent of Saturday Night Live. Their frenetic style inspired a generation of vulgar but funny filmmakers. Future movies borrowed the idea of cramming in as many jokes as possible in a short time frame, but always with an over-arching narrative. Every parody film made since 1977 pretty much owes its existence to Kentucky Fried Movie.

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Brett Stewart, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Dominic Cichocki, delve into 1993’s ‘Demolition Man.’

It’s a perfect world fifteen years from now, where the police’s toughest job is ticketing bad language and graffiti. Uh-oh, a frozen criminal played by Wesley Snipes got defrosted and is wreaking mayhem on the city! How can we stop him? By defrosting the Demolition Man, a rogue nekkid cop played by Sylvester Stallone, obvs. And who’s the perfect cultural babysitter for him? Sandra Bullock at maximum perkiness, of course. This episode, David, Brett, Nicole, and returning guest Dominic Cichocki dive into this mess of seashells, Taco Bell sauce, and virtual sex to see if we can’t find its redeeming features (hint: they are hard to find).

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Brett Stewart, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Bandrew Scott, delve into 2006’s ‘The Da Vinci Code.’

Why did we cover The DaVinci Code? Dinged if we know! (Occupational hazard of using a crowdsourced list, we suppose.) This episode, while Nicole is away, co-hosts Brett Stewart, David Luzader, and guest Bandrew Scott of Podcastage delve into theology geekery. Obscure, arcane, and debatable pieces of text are the bread and wine of the religion geek, and The Da Vinci Code fed the multitudes on it. The movie is based on Dan Brown’s popular novel, and joins the ranks of movies that focus on the weirder aspects of the Roman Catholic church, such as secret societies, rites of exorcism, assertions of divinity walking the earth, and predictions about the end of the world. Does David and Brett’s world come to an end because they have to discuss this oddity? Let’s find out!

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Chris Osborne, delve into 2002’s ‘Spirited Away.’

We’re continuing to catch up after server troubles with yet another new episode, Spirited Away! This Studio Ghibli anime is their most Japanese-culture-intensive, and also their most widely known and financially successful film. Join Nicole, Brett, David, and our guest Chris Osborne as we delve into No-Face and the Stink God and the frog people and the freaky giant baby. (Seriously, Japan, between this and Akira and the Bleach series, what is with the giant baby thing?) Strangely enough, we also come across our second white furry dragon of our episodes so far. We get into all the lovely and lyrical and weird. Check it out!

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Gordon Werner, delve into 1997’s ‘Starship Troopers.’

In the distant future, the Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects. Little is known about the Bugs except that they are intent on the eradication of all human life. But there was a time before the war… A Mobile Infantry travels to distant alien planets to take the war to the Bugs. They are a ruthless enemy with only one mission: Survival of their species no matter what the cost…

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Brian Guthrie, delve into 1980’s ‘Flash Gordon.’

He’ll save every one of us – it’s the subject of episode 40, Flash Gordon! Starring a dude plucked straight from ‘The Dating Game’ and surrounded by powerhouse actors camping it up, this film is a glorious cauldron of enthusiastic (if not always exactly good) performances, extraordinary production design, and the dross on the bottom that is the god awful script. Come join Nicole, Brett, David, and our guest John Murray of SNL Afterparty as we contemplate Dale’s puzzling instant love for Flash, Flash’s tiny prison shorts, and the magnificence of Brian Blessed as Vultan of the Hawkmen. With Queen fueling the soundtrack, you know Flash will run his rocket into the end zone to score a win for this movie. Go, Flash, go!

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Brian Guthrie, delve into 2012’s ‘The Hunger Games.‘ With Brett Stewart gone for the week, the team bands together to voyage on into the dystopian future. The film spawned a massive franchise, but was it any good? Did it stand tall amidst comparisons to the likes of ‘Harry Potter’ and other young adult properties? It spawned the career of Jennifer Lawrence, who would later go on to be an Academy Award winner. The panel digs in and determines if the first entry in ‘The Hunger Games’ is worth revisiting.

In this episode of Geek Cinema Society, Brett Stewart, Nicole Davis, David Luzader, and their guest, Ben Aylett, delve into 1995’s ‘Mortal Kombat.‘ It’s a movie! That’s the only real consensus the panel could come to, frankly. It’s a thing… on a screen… that can be watched. You, too, can have that experience, but be warned, because it’s not for the faint of heart. ‘Mortal Kombat’ isn’t exactly Shakespeare.
