You wanna "zigazig ahh?" We know you do!

Eric and Megan discuss the hit 1997 film Spice World, starring The Spice Girls / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_Girls

Taking a bit of Hard Day's Night, the BIGGEST FEMALE POP GROUP IN HISTORY romp around London with a bunch of colorful musical numbers, silly skits, and cameos (so many cameos) on their way to the Royal Albert Hall to play a sold out concert.

Why is there a bomb on the bus? Why is the bus bigger inside? Why are they riding in a bus? What role does Roger Moore play in all this? Will they make it in time?

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1980 sci fi time travel movie, The Final Countdown, starring Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen! It's a completely believeable tale of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier traveling back in time to 1941, just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Do our intrepid heroes sit by and do nothing, refusing to change the events of the past, or do they go full Butterfly Effect and FAFO?

There's a mutiny! IN SPACE!

Reb Brown and Cameron Mitchell have to save the Battlestar Galactica *ahem* I mean "The Southern Sun" from a mutiny led by Elijah Cal-Gon (John Phillip Law). Hijinx ensue. There are bumper cars! Hula hoops! Railing kills! Vintage dental equipment! Ladies with no pants! Plasma balls! Ladies dressed in gauze! Yelling! SO MUCH YELLING!

Coleman Francis was an independent filmmaker / actor from the 1960s who wrote and directed three special films. He had a vision, a dark, murky vision full of ugly faces, coffee, cigarettes, and small aircraft. Are these movies some of the worst ever made? YES. Do we recommend you see them? Also, YES.

We look at the 2024 videogame movie nobody asked for. With blandness dials turned up to 10, even an an all-star cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Gina Gershon, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Cate Blanchett cant create any emotion or excitement. Competently shot series of images, which when run by your eyes at 24 frames per second, gives the illusion of movement. It's something to look at with your eyeballs.

Rats and cats and vampire shenanigans, that's what Megan and Eric have in store for you in this episode!

We compare and contrast two versions of the classic retelling of Dracula, Nosferatu. The 1922 silent film version starring Max Shreck is a legitimate classic art film. It follows the story of a young German bridegroom who travels to Transylvania to do a real estate deal with the creepy count Orlok. He's quickly drained of his precious blood, and the vampire makes his way back to Germany bringing with him thousands of plague rats. Everyone starts dying and the count closes in on the young bride.

The recent remake by celebrated director Robert Eggers takes the same story and expands on it, adding more detail as well as some blood, and jump scares, and a little bit of vampire peen.

Despite sharing the title and two actors, this 2016 made for tv lesbian vampire picture shares nothing similar with the 1996 film. James Franco produced and stars in this horror romance centered around the Hot Topic store, and a college production of a gender-bent Macbeth. Lots of hot chicks in slo-mo, an unhinged homophobic Tori Spelling, and a pretty decent sword fight are the highlights in this forgettable stinker from the Lifetime network.

Maybe the greatest barbarian picture from the late 20th century, Laurene Landon stars as Hundra, a tribeswoman who goes on a quest for sperm and revenge. She does all her own awesome stunt work, and she brings a proto-feminism to fantasy northern Europe.

Stalking death, non-consensual s3x, imps, crop-tops, and b00bies! It sound's like a recipe for some good 1980's fantasy barbarian film fun.

OR IS IT?!

M. Night Shayamalan's Commercial for his daughter's singing career is stretched out into a long, ridiculous thriller. Josh Hartnett tries his best to ham it up to the appropriate level, but gosh, if he ain't the luckiest man in the world.
