#20 - Listen in as we discuss the perils of adventuring on the big screen particularly when dealing with well placed traps starting with one of the finest examples of archaeologist propoganda and flagellation, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

#19 - This week we discuss the rough, wild, and fun: From Dusk Till Dawn.  We talk about how the first half of this movie is a suspensful hostage movie, and then out of no where it turns into a no holds barred vampire flick.  Very few movies change course like this, but we try to discuss the ones that we remember such The Abyss and Cabin in the Woods.  We also discuss our favorite sexy vampires of all time, but it's pretty tough to beat Salma Hayek.  We also discuss our favorite films set in Mexico.

If you can find a better podcast than this one, f**k it!

#15 - With guest Mike we go over some content that doesn't make it into the final cut but is in some ways more entertaining than what we paid to see the first time around, beginning with what might be the greatest outtake of all time from sword and sandal Schwarzenegger epic Conan the Barbarian. The crew also delves into the subtle differences of a read only T-800, the national geographic sized effort it took to film the Lord of the Rings, and the artistry of Jackie Chan's willingness to almost die in every movie he makes. Et tu Loaded Weapone? Enjoy!
