Pixelated Geek Classics

The train continues as we celebrate the god of action movies: Arnold Schwarzenegger!

But every action hero must try new things, and Arnold is no exception. It's not a new concept in Hollywood to take the manly man and dress him in drag for comedy. But that's not good enough for our boy Schwarzenegger; instead he dresses in drag and gets pregnant.

Yes, that's right folks, we watched Junior. Oh, it's just terrible. Join us for a laugh as we discuss this "special" classic movie!

It's Comic Con this week and were still rocking along with Arnold Schwarzenegger month! What could be better I ask you?

So we decided what better movie to do this week that combines both those things: That would be none other than 1997s Batman & Robin. Yea, we did it. And oh man was it painful. So tune in as we geek out over our love of Batman and our dislike for this movie.

It's all action here at the Movie Issues HQ as we celebrate Arnold Schwarzenegger month!

That's right! Five weeks of our favorite action star Schwarzenegger, and first up: The Running Man. This 1987 movie has our boy Arnold wrongfully accused of a crime and forced to compete in the televised game of life and death, as all dystopian futures settle matters of justice with blood sport.

So come on down and listen in with us as we discuss our love of action movies and Schwarzenegger!

Original broadcast date June 29, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/06/movie-issues-amazon-women-moon/

This week the boys travel to meet the Amazon Women on the Moon.

This 1987 satirical comedy parodies the experience of watching low-budget movie on late night TV.  Brought together by directors Joe Dante and John Landis, the movie is made up of 21 shorts mixed together to make one hell of a good time. Amazon Women on the Moon is a very funny flick, featuring some of the 80s' up-and-coming talent.

So tune and sit back and relax as we enjoy this adventure.

Original broadcast date June 22, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/06/movie-issues-every-which-way-loose/

This week the boys watched the often-heard-of Every Which Way But Loose, a 1978 film where Clint Eastwood is a bare-knuckle-boxer and hangs out with an orangutan.

Yes, you read that right. This is a product of the 70s and a film that could not work today.

We also discuss our favorite movie animals and try to decide if any movie is better with the addition of a monkey.

It's Father's Day weekend, so Leland and Spooky wanted to watch a suitable tale of paternal love. Thus, Bill Cosby's Ghost Dad.

What a terrible mistake that was.

This 1990s family comedy, directed by the great Sir Sidney Poitier, is still one of the worst things the guys have ever watched. This weekend when you sit down to watch something with your dad, make sure you watch a good old-fashioned action-fest with lots of violence. Because if you watch this, your father will look at you differently, and that's not cool.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

Original broadcast date June 8, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/06/movie-issues-flash-gordon/

So this week the boys travel to the planet Mongo and "help" defeat the the evil Ming the Merciless in the 1980 film Flash Gordon. The movie being most notable for its soundtrack composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen. Honestly the soundtrack is the best part of this movie. This is a rough watch for Spooky but Leland was in nostalgia heaven. So join us and find out if Flash is the saviour of the universe or just a chump.

Original broadcast date June 2, 2012. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/06/movie-issues-special-snow-white-huntsman/

Movie Issues brings you a spoiler-free review of Snow White and the Hunstman. Second of the Snow White movies to come out this year, this one is by far one of the better movies of 2012 so far.

Join us as we discuss this epic fantasy - and why everyone should go see it.

Original broadcast date June 1, 2021. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/06/movie-issues-deep-blue-sea/

So this week, the guys decide to watch a creature feature, a great one too: Deep Blue Sea. For those of you who might not remember, that's the 1999 Renny Harlin flick about sharks that get way too smart for our good and start terrorizing the people that made them that way.

Get ready to hear the guys sharing a beer and commiserating over their fear/hatred of sharks.

WE HAVE THE POWER!

Yes folks, it happened. This week Spooky and Leland traveled to the world of Eternia and entered Castle Grayskull, only to find themselves back on Earth fighting the evil Skeletor alongside Monica from Friends.

Yes, we watched Masters of the Universe the 1987 He-Man movie that barely has anything to do with He-Man. It's a special kind of movie and one we really enjoyed watching. So join us and see if you have the power to stomach this terrible movie.
