Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

The Story of the Faithful Wookiee (1978) synopsis: “An animated story that aired as part of the 1978 made-for-TV-film The Star Wars Holiday Special.” IMDb Link
Cobra Claws Are Coming to Town (G.I.Joe S1E39 | 1985) synopsis: “After successfully infiltrating Joe headquarters using very unusual means, COBRA plans on ruining Christmas in Keystone City by attacking the city in Joe vehicles.” IMDb Link
Have Yourself a Morlock Little Christmas (X-Men S4E12 | 1995) synopsis: “Storm and grouchy humbug Wolverine go last-minute shopping in Manhattan, only to be caught in a life-or-death crisis involving Leech, the littlest Morlock.” IMDb Link

This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo review three of their favorite holiday themed cartoon episodes. Sure, Corey’s isn’t technically Christmas-y but it was part of The Star Wars Holiday special so that counts, right? Don’t worry, though, “Have Yourself a Morlock Little Christmas” and “Cobra Claws Are Coming to Town” more than make up for it!

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) synopsis: “The now-adult Ricky talks to a psychiatrist about how he became a murderer after his brother, Billy, died, which leads back to Mother Superior.”

Starring: Eric Freeman, James Newman, Darrel Guilbeau, and Elizabeth Kaitan
Director: Lee Harry

Garbage Day! This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2! If you listened to our breakdown of SNDN Part 1 last year, you knew this was coming. I mean, how could it not? Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 is a quintessential cult classic. What it lacks in the music department (nothing beats “The Warm Side of the Door” from Part 1) it more than makes up for in pure zaniness. Also, Eric Freeman is a goddamn studfarm, and you can quote us on that!

Huntdown (2020) synopsis: “Huntdown is a 2020 run-and-gun video game developed by Easy Trigger and published by Coffee Stain Publishing.”
Available on: PC, PlayStation, XBox, Switch, and iOS

This week on Podcasting After Dark, co-host Corey reviews the video game, Huntdown (2020)! A retro 16bit shooter that brings back all the nostalgic feels of playing video games in the basement as a kid until all hours of the the night. If you grew up on the Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis then you should definitely check this game out… after listening to Corey’s review first lol!

Guyver 2: Dark Hero (1994) synopsis: “Sean Barker, unwilling host to an alien bio-armor known as the Guyver, must fight the Kronos Corporation again before they discover the secrets of the Guyver's origin.”

Starring: David Hayter, Kathy Christopherson, Bruno Patrick, and Christopher Michael
Director: Steve Wang

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Guyver 2: Dark Hero aka Go, Go Guyver Rangers (as the boys like to call it)! With awesome monster designs and a great cast, including “Solid Snake” himself, David Hayter, the only thing holding this cult movie back from true greatness is its long runtime. Zak and Corey discuss this and a whole lot more as they break down Guyver 2: Dark Hero.

GUYVER!!

Where you know him from:  Director of Hardware (1990), Dust Devil (1992), and Color Out of Space (2019)

This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to visionary film director, Richard Stanley!

If you’ve been listing to Podcasting After Dark then you know how integral Richard Stanley is to the DNA of the show. From Hardware to Color Out of Space, and all the Lost Souls in between, Zak and Corey have been fascinated by this auteur and his impactful body of work. But the conversation doesn’t end there, it extends past his films and into the realm of the paranormal. Waters that both Zak and Corey are more than happy to swim in!

To be able to interview Richard Stanley is a dream come true and we have to thank Uana for helping make it happen. You can follow her and her art on Instagram @witch_image_666

Starring: Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Nicol Williamson, and Gabriel Byrne
Director: John Boorman

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Excalibur! Quite possibly the most epic film the boys have ever broken down on the show. They truly don’t make movies like Excalibur anymore. But is that a good or bad thing? Zak and Corey discuss that and more over the course of this three hour episode. Don’t worry, Storm Shadow and Shipwreck show up to help lighten the mood lol!

This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo are joined by James and Dustin from the Action, Action Podcast to review three Canadian shows from their youth! Two of the three are remarkable wholesome, which is funny coming from an action movie podcast that covers a lot of Rated R movies lol! Regardless, the boys have a blast discussing these hidden gems hailing from the great white north.

Demons (1985) synopsis: “A group of tenants and visitors are trapped in a 10-story high-rise apartment building infested with demons who proceed to hunt the dwindling humans down.”

Starring: David Edwin Knight, Nancy Brilli, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, and Bobby Rhodes
Director: Lamberto Bava

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey are joined once again by horror author, David Irons to breakdown and review Demons 2! If you listened to our Demons 1 review then you knew he’d be back! And we’re happy to have David on the show because he always brings a wealth of 80s-horror-movie-knowledge with him.

So, how does Demons 2 hold up all these years later? Very well, but the boys still think Demons 1 has more meat on its bones. The quick turnaround time for this sequel definitely holds it back from true greatness.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (2023) synopsis: “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 2023 asymmetrical survival horror game published by Gun Interactive. The game features four victims attempting to escape the family of cannibals before they catch and kill them.”
Available on: PC, PlayStation, and XBox

This week on Podcasting After Dark, co-host Corey reviews the video game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (2023)! Published by the same people behind the Friday the 13th video game, this shares a lot of similar DNA but also feels like the next natural step in the evolution of the asymmetrical survival horror genre. If you’ve been on the fence about picking this one up, hopefully Corey’s review will help you decide on whether or not it’s worth diving into!

Happy spooky season! This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo discuss Friday the 13th: The Series and Freddy's Nightmares. Two shows that always seem to be in the same conversation together, and rightfully so, seeing as how both franchises were in full swing in the late 80s! But do the hold up or is nostalgia a helluva drug? Well, we have one clear winner and one clear loser but you’ll have to listen to find out which is which!
