Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

This week on the PAD Watchlist, Zak and Corey are joined by Tim from Talking Back to discuss the Top 5 80s Toys He Couldn’t Find In Canada! If you’re a fan of obscure vintage toys (from the best decade ever) then this is the episode for you! Even better, Tim didn’t bring up any of the toys Zak and Corey discussed way back in April 2020 when they ranked their Top 8 Obscure 80’s Toylines. So, consider this a companion episode to that one!

Leave a comment on our socials or Patreon and let us know if you remember any of the toys mentioned in this episode!

Happy Hell Night (1991) synopsis: “A fraternity-hazing prank goes terribly wrong and a psychotic killer is set loose. Now a relentless evil has been unleashed, and the coeds of Winfield College will face the bloody horror of HAPPY HELL NIGHT.”

Starring: Nick Gregory, Frank John Hughes, Laura Carney, and Darren McGavin
Director: Brian Owens

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Happy Hell Night! Starring a young Sam Rockwell in his second role after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…well, “starring” might be overstating it a bit. Sam Rockwell has about 30 seconds of screen time and Darren McGavin has maybe twice that lol!

Don’t worry, though. You’re not watching Happy Hell Night for Sam Rockwell and Darren McGavin. You’re watching it for the nudity, sex, and violence! And the for the main antagonist, Malius. He’s the real star of the movie with his jet black eyes and creepy voice! Malius is truly an A-list villain in an otherwise cheesy B-movie slasher.

This month on 80s Kids Unite, Dustin, Zak, Diallo and Corey discuss their favorite DC Super Powers toy! The Kenner line ran from 1984-86 and featured 3 waves of characters and playsets. Each figure had a hidden mechanic that represented their super power… hence the name of the series! What was your favorite DC Super Powers toy? Leave a comment on our socials and let us know!

The Hidden (1987) synopsis: “A cop and an FBI agent race for answers after law abiding people suddenly become violent criminals.”

Starring: Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Nouri, Ed O'Ross, and Claudia Christian
Director: Jack Sholder

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review The Hidden. A truly underrated gem and one hell of a good time! The Hidden is basically The Thing combined with The Terminator with a dash of Alien Nation thrown in for good measure. If that doesn’t wet your whistle we don’t know what will!

A huge THANK YOU to Robert Ortiz for picking The Hidden for us to review through the highest Patreon tier! Purchase one of Rob's books on Amazon

The Highwayman (1987-88) - YouTube

This month on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo plant themselves firmly in the 1980s and discuss three short-lived and little-known television shows. The loose theme is “Mad Max-lite vs Aliens.” Yes, they should have reviewed the Starman series instead of The Highwayman to really solidify the alien theme… but that didn’t happen lol! Either way, we hope you all enjoy the episode!

Identity (2003) synopsis: “Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rain storm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one.”

Starring: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, and John Hawkes
Director: James Mangold

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review James Mangold’s Identity! If you enjoy movies with a big twist ending then this one’s for you! But don’t worry, there’s more to Identity than just that. It features a fantastic cast and director. And it’s written by the guy that wrote Jack Frost… not the Michael Keaton version lol!

A huge THANK YOU to Paulette for selecting Identity for us to review via our Patreon page! If you would like us to breakdown one of your favorite films, consider signing up to our highest tier!

Bruiser (2000) synopsis: “After years of being tread upon and cheated on, a man awakens to find his face has a been replaced by a blank, white mask.”

Starring: Jason Flemyng, Peter Stormare, Leslie Hope, and Tom Atkins
Director: George A. Romero

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review George A. Romero’s cult thriller, Bruiser! A very unique movie and one of the few that Romero didn’t film in his beloved Pittsburgh, for better or worse. Speaking of “better,” we highly recommend checking out Bruiser, if only to watch Peter Stormare do his thing!

A huge THANK YOU to Cam for selecting Bruiser for us to review via our Patreon page! You can listen to Cam on The Jacked Up Review Show Podcast - Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Instagram

This year on our special Halloween episode of Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo discuss three episodes of television that scared the Hell out of them growing up. The kicker is, none of them are technically supposed to be very scary but they still left an impression on our young co-hosts!

During the conversation, Zak mention’s a PAD Watchlist he did with Dustin where they discuss movies and tv shows that traumatized them growing up. It’s a great companion episode to this one. You can find it here!
