Laser Graves episodes
- Episode 045: Legend (1985)
This week we take a trip into a magical land of elves, dwarfs, unicorns and goblins. We discuss the complexities of theater majors, what the term for a unicorn with no horn is and how the Prince of Darkness likes to rave. Oh and for all you Tom Cruise fans don't worry...we spend A LOT of time pointing out his uncanny ability to squat in any given situation.

55 min - Episode 044: Videodrome (1983)
Join us this week as we explore the strange world of David Cronenberg's Videodrome. We look at how the film is still relevant today and how the practical effects hold up three decades later. It's an odd movie, but we do our best to break it down, even if we wander off into discussions of medieval monks being addicted to illuminated manuscripts...it is still a Laser Graves episode after all.

1 hr - Episode 042: When Good Kids Go Bad: The Story of Cabbage Patch Dolls and Garbage Pail Kids
This week Maria takes charge and surprises E.K. with a look into the creation of Cabbage Patch dolls and their creepy cousins, The Garbage Pail Kids. There is lying, cheating, theft and lawsuits in this bizarre tale of two iconic children's franchises from the 1980s. From the first insanely priced Cabbage Patch doll to be "adopted" to the nightmare inducing live action Garbage Pail Kids movie, we examine this tale of two worlds, bound by physical features, but separated by bodily fluids.

49 min - Episode 041: The Terminator (1984)
Journey with us into both the past and the future this week as we discuss The Terminator (1984). That's right, you read correctly, we're taking a look at the film that's remembered as much for it's special effects as it is for the catch phrases it introduced into mainstream American pop culture. There are car chases, robot wars, street gangs and most importantly, a man running around wearing the urine soaked pants he stole from a homeless man. There's no time like the present to listen to this episode, the fate of the world may depend on it.
