NERD ALERT!!! Only the most badass of the dweebs sciencia need apply. Believe it or not, this movie is grounded in sort of mostly realistic means. Like if anyone in Revenge of the Nerds was actually capable of coolness in college, it would probably be this movie. The main nerdling of the movie is Mitch Taylor (Gabriel Jarret), a lucky little bow-tie stereotype who wins a high school talent show/scholarship to get sent to somewhere “smart” like Caltech, only let’s name it…Pacific Tech. BOOM! Stage set. God of Sexing Science, Val Kilmer, plays Lord Giga-Chad-Nerdling-Megatron, Chris Knight, a senior at PTech. While Mitchy boy is the main lead, we all know this movie is really A Chronicle on the Story of the Ballad~Saga through the Atmosphere of ValChris Kill-Knight, Eternal Huntsman of Classroom Tang.The Sigma Alpha-Weeb royalty of PTec (and Kent), piddling through their studies, are creating cable satellite with unlimited signal. And by signal I mean, Space Lasers. So what will they do with all that power? Can those lasers pop a bottle cap or three and chill the case? Asking the important questions here. For a friend. Delivering more mindless relaxation unto our adoring public–here’s another episode from our CKV: Season of Weird Sciencing. Join Roland, Rey, and Daniel for (Val Kilmer’s) Real Genius.
Rey and the boys present their next entry of their “weird” science miniseries with the star studded (plus a lesser Baldwin) 1990 film “Flatliners”. Following Nelson’s (Kiefer Sutherland) lead/behest, four other medical students (though one is billed as a Doctor in the cast…) set out to explore near death experiences to discover if there is indeed an afterlife. Four of the five students are voluntarily murdered and revived with success until surreal visions from their personal pasts begin to terrorize their minds. That’s one hell of a pickle to be in. How are Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, and William Baldwin going to get through this? Forgiveness? Loss? Death? Tune in to listen to the boys work through the plot and resolution of this thriller that benefited from a sequel AND a reboot (which are likely awful).

The Final Viewing Horror Podcast Returns with a discussion of the new TCM.
Is it a sequel? A Requel? I'm just here for the loose plot a bloody goodness.
Join Rey and Roland as we determine the age of a geriatric Leatherface.
We're back, baby! After our first foray into timey-wimey adventures, we decided to keep close to that theme with a series of weird science films! Kicking off our list is "Weird Science" where we are introduced to *checks off list* geeks/nerds/dweebs/dorks/outcasts named Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) and Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) who face constant bullying and embarrassment from their peers. These two losers decide to create a woman with Wyatt’s “high-tech computer hacking skills” (sure buddy) and to their surprise–actually succeed. "Your mother was the lightning!" The end result is Lisa (Kelly Lebrock), an 80’s trickster-vixen with godlike powers, and she is the keymaster to levels of coolness and fear their nerdly hearts would never have dreamt possible (they kinda are pretty lame). Almost literally anything can happen. Will Lisa beat up Gary’s dad? Is Wyatt’s bro a piece of crapola on the inside as well as the outside? Does the great Robert Downey Jr. (yep he’s there) stand a snowball’s chance in hell of grooving on omega-hottie Lisa? Join Rey, Roland, and Daniel as they dive into this classic from the mind of John Hughes! Don't forget to share and like our content on social media!
Cinekuest Presents: Hot Tub Time Machine aka Shotgun to the Dick: A Philosophy
What happens when you live life to the fullest? It brings happiness, success, and...yeah so what happens when none of that crap works out? Enter the lives of Adam, Nick, and Lou, three (+1) absolute losers played by John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry (and Clark Duke as the +1). They all seem like cool people. What the hell happened? After a perfectly-timed not-a-suicide-attempt brings the buddies back together, a plan is hatched to get shit-faced at their old stomping grounds. Back in the 80's when they were cool, when they had plans, when erectile dysfunction was just a phrase that got you called a nerd...there was...Kodiak Valley Ski Resort...the land of windbreaker jackets, bigass hair, Motley Crue...oh and definitely not aids. Too bad the place is a shithole now. So three (+1) guys pile into a gross hot tub and somehow fail upwards into a time machine that sends them back to the best time of their lives. Or so we think. Who wouldn’t try for a do over if you could? Join Daniel, Rey, and Roland and we try to make sense of Chevy Chase as a Time Lord of A-Holes.
Cinekuest Presents: Donnie Darko aka the Pre-Regrettening Part Wtf (Frank the Furry Guru)
So what do you get when you make an indie film sandwich with an itty bitty slice of sci-fi salami? Whatever this is. Some coming-of-age timey wimey confusion aside, Donnie Darko is some bland-ass teenager farting through suburban hell. After a jet engine crashes into his room, (yes...why not) Donnie’s life gets a little...fuckin’ bananas. Don Don is soon possessed/influenced by the spirit/hallucination/projection from the future--Frank the Furry Guru, learns the world will end in 28 days, gets superpowers, oh and learns about time travel from Grandma Death. We’re blursed with iconical indie award-ling dialog such as, “Every living creature on Earth dies alone.” Such profoundery. Listen in as Rey, Roland, and Daniel try to make sense of what all the hububbery is about.
Cinekuest Video Presents 12 Monkeys AKA The One Where We Wonder How It Makes Sense
Time travel, questioning reality, eco-terrorist actions, looooooove, and Bruce Willis’ beautiful backside with a backdrop of Brad Pitt’s pre-Fight Club nuttiness are the driving force of 1996’s 12 Monkeys directed by Python alum who also directed a previous entry in our time travel miniseries, Terry Gilliam! A deadly virus has devastated humankind and 2036 is the year that prisoner James Cole (Willis) is volunteered to be sent back to 1996 to locate the virus before it mutates and wrecks humanity. However, things are not so straightforward for Cole which is most excellent for us viewers to attempt to suss out what the hell this movie is and how it’s supposed to work. Join Rey, Roland, and Daniel as they discuss the ins and outs of this well-received movie and whether or not this is indeed a movie about time travel!

We continue with Horror October with one of Rey's childhood favorites, Return of the Living Dead 2 (though part one is the far superior film).
