Cherry Bombs - The Underappreciated Movies Podcast

We take a moment to update everyone on our fall slate of episodes and thank you all for continuing to listen to our weird little show!

This month we're joined by friends from around the world to herald the return of movie theaters! We'll share our best theater going cine-memories, from the first film we ever saw on the big screen to our worst date movies, from all day marathons to the thrill of sneaking into R-rated features. We'll share stories of the experiences that moved us, made us laugh, cry, or even walk out.  We'll remember our favorite cinemas, listen back to our first movie "podcast" tape from 1987, attempt to understand Nik's bizarre concession habits and recall that time we sat in the dark eating popcorn next to Terry Gilliam and Michael Bolton. Join us as we celebrate these sacred temples of cinema and remind ourselves why the theater experience is still so essential. It's time to get fully vaxxed and GO to the movies!

For the final episode of our Trek Trilogy, we're honored to be joined by Trekkies director Roger Nygard! The filmmaker responsible for our favorite documentary takes us behind the scenes of Trekkies and its sequel to reveal the origins of Gabriel Koerner, Spiner Femme, The Filker and more and answers obscure questions no one's been obsessive enough to ask until now! Put on your Starfleet best and join us for this fascinating discussion! Stay updated on Trekkies news and explore Roger's other work at rogernygard.com.

On this special bonus episode, club captain and Garak impersonator Dustin and Spiner Femme Nik talk trek and watch the most important documentary ever made, Trekkies! We'll filk with a busted drag queen, eat Big Mac value meals with Klingons, get a root canal from a Federation dentist, ship Kirk/Spock and admire some fledgling opticals. Join us as we celebrate the most extreme, dedicated and delightful fans in the galaxy. And please remember there is still no vaccine for the Q Virus.

This month Dustin & Nik share their love for Star Trek 5 and gain strength from the sharing! Join us for deep existential thoughts on religion, spirituality and the meaning of life, the timely dangers of cult leaders, the trendsetting fashion of McCoy's ascot and the tactical uses of an elderly striptease. Then we'll breakdown the notorious in-costume Trek 5 press conference featuring miscued music, mortified Nimoy, "the gentleman who plays Chekov" and some nasty ass green Champagne. Go where no one has gone before as we celebrate the most maligned and underrated Trek of them all! And mind the overhead beam.

This month Cherry Bombs and The Saturday Morning Podcast team up for two episodes! First, host Christopher Jay joins us here to discuss the best and weirdest cartoons adapted from movies. Then head over to The Saturday Morning Podcast where we'll discuss the films we wish had been turned into animated series' but never were. Pour a giant bowl of sugar-packed cereal and settle in for the ultimate block of retro animation love!

This month He-Man holds the cosmic key to our hearts as we celebrate Cannon Films' magnum opus Masters of the Universe! Join us as we marvel at the investigative skills of Detective Lubic, discover the contents of a Cannon Films Happy Meal and gush over this absolutely essential Cherry Bomb. Pile into Billy Barty's pink Cadillac, crank up the Japanese synthesizer and teleport to our favorite toy to movie adaptation ever made. Good journey!

This month we celebrate the tangible glory of physical media! From VHS to laserdisc, DVD to 4K bluray and even CED, we have it all and love it all. Fellow physical media enthusiast and friend Jon joins us as we remember the video stores of our youth, wax nostalgic about extended play Mr. Mom tapes from McDonalds, dredge up Nik's most traumatic video rental memory, argue over how to organize your collection and discuss the (hopeful) future of increasingly maligned physical formats.  Physical Media Forever!

This month we talk to filmmaker Lisa Downs about her awesome documentaries on Flash Gordon, Flight of the Navigator and the inspiring personal journeys of their iconic stars.  Join us as we geek out over 80s movies, the magic of Brian Blessed, playing Flash Gordon pinball with Brian May and just how incredibly cool Howard Hesseman really is. Then Lisa takes the honorary guest co-host chair as we all discuss our favorite documentaries about the movie industry. Plus plenty of bonus Corey Haim content! Connect with Lisa at lifeaftermovies.com and Life After Movies Presents The Web Show on youtube!

This month Dustin and Nik plunge into James Cameron's most overlooked and madly ambitious masterpiece, THE ABYSS! Sunk by a hurricane of imitators that beat it to theaters and a marketing campaign that sold it as Aliens 2, The Abyss is often discussed now only for its groundbreaking FX. But it's one of the maestro's finest and his most nakedly emotional and autobiographical work. Join us as we look with better eyes and celebrate one of the greatest films ever made!
