Optimism Vaccine

THIS WEEK: Baby Assassins (2021), Baby Assassins: 2 Babies (2023) and Baby Assassins: Nice Days (2024)

Jack already spends 10% of any given episode talking about Baby Assassins, so we thought we'd let him get it out of his system.

THIS WEEK: Enthiran (2010) and 2.0 (2018)

Why settle for Hollywood when Kollywood exists? Join us this week as we're dazzled by Rajinikanth and baffled by 5G conspiracies.

THIS WEEK: XX: Beautiful Weapon (1993), XX: Beautiful Target (1995) and XX: Beautiful Beast (1995)

Like the rest of the internet, we just couldn't get enough Japanese perversion. So this week we've opted to crack open the fridge and dish up a second helping of the V-Cinema franchise XX.

THIS WEEK: XX: Beautiful Hunter (1994), XX: Beautiful Prey (1996), and XX: Beautiful Killing Machine (1996)

Having already covered the adventures of Xander Cage and Ti West's misguided stab at franchise horror, it was inevitable that a sage Patron would point us toward the Japanese film series XX. It promises to be a beautiful time.

THIS WEEK: Jingle All the Way 2 (2014), Kindergarten Cop 2 (2016), and Eraser: Reborn (2022)

It was suggested that this episode was below even us, but once an idiotic idea has been introduced, you can trust that Optimism Vaccine will follow through. So here we are, discussing films had the audacity to attempt the impossible: Replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger.

THIS WEEK: Tales from the Crypt (1972), Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995), Bordello of Blood (1996) and Ritual (2002)

We decided that Jack needed more Dennis Miller in his life, which naturally led us to the cinematic world of EC Comics.

THIS WEEK: The Net (1995) and The Net 2.0 (2006)

Lord knows why, but we've decided to discuss the very relevant tech anti-thriller, The Net. And its pitiful DTV sequel.

THIS WEEK: Flexing With Monty: A Domestic Symphonie (2010) and The Evil Within AKA The Storyteller (2017)

A generous Patron asked us to look at John Albo's perpetually-in-production feature debut Flexing With Monty. Which we took as a good excuse to check out a meth-addled oil heir's posthumously released horror opus.

Apologies for Jack's occasionally choppy audio. Hey, why not request your own episode, and help us buy him a new microphone?

THIS WEEK: Day For Night (1973) and Hulk Blood Tapes (2015)

It has recently come to our attention that X's foremost Oscar-knower Matt Neglia starred in a found footage horror film. Of course we're honor-bound to discuss it.

THIS WEEK: Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) and Rust (2024)

Well, it finally happened. Rust was unceremoniously dumped onto streaming, so we're obliged to fulfill a long-standing Patron request to look at the film. And we've decided to pair it with Twilight Zone: The Movie for... no reason. Nothing morbid happening here. Move along.
