First we take a ride on some gnarly winds with the droid someone wants, get chased by a psychotic bounty hunter, and witness a producer go bankrupt. I'm sure there's a metaphor or life lesson somewhere in Slipstream. Then we land in New Zealand to revel in some nostalgic soaked coming of age shenanigans with a shogun and Boy. Join us, won't we? Episode 89- Hurricane Shogun

This week we take another trip to Serbia and learn how to bowl like a professional. First up we thumb a ride in the most distinctive bus in Europe, see some snuff up close, and witness The Life and Death of a Porno Gang. Then we take a break to find zen in an abduction scheme before the league semifinals with The Big Lebowski. One endlessly quotable film and one about how absolutely awful life is. Who thought we'd find so much in a Serbian shock film or the Coens would make us so damn depressed? Might have that reversed. Join us, won't we? Episode 88- Lowlife Love Child

This week we take our chances going against ninjas, the mob, and an interestingly themed New York gang. First we take a look back at the wild days of Los Vegas with Casino, the only movie where De Niro doesn't play a good Catholic boy. Pesci is still Pesci, as that holds the Universe together. Next we take a tour of NYC's sewer system with a group of Muppets and a De Niro impersonator to learn the secret arts of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Finally we emerge into gloriously campy beacon of hope that is the Village People who are THE Sound of the 80s... because they Can't Stop the Music. All that and a Mystery Guest, Tyler weeps, Craig is forced to take a hard look at his life, Kevin tries to make many parable comparisons, and Dave realizes he is the most secure in his sexuality. Join us, won't we? Episode 87- Amphibian Blackjack A-Go-Go

To conclude Japanuary we dive into four films curated by Nathan (who was unable to join us due to Ninjas). First up is Noburo Ando's Chronicle of Escape and Sex (aka Account of Filthy Escape into Sex aka the greatest title we have ever seen) a true account of lead actor Ando's month long run from authorities and the women who comforted him. Okinawa Yakuza War, also inspired by a true crime event, finally brings the great Sonny Chiba to RotP. Fires on the Plain shoves our faces into the horrors of war. Finally Takashi Miike arrives on scene, you just can't have Japanuary without him, and spins another tale from the files of Noburo Ando, one we assume must be heavily fictionalized or else the force ghosts have a lot to answer to, in Deadly Outlaw Rekka.  Join us, won't we? Episode 86- Japavalanche

The penultimate week of Japanuary 2019. First, Tyler proves an old pervert can not change his crusty tighty whities with the in name only sequel New Tokyo Decadence: The Slave. The 2007 softcore Japanese BDSM film where a boring girl meets a boring master. It's not at all what you think it is... it's much much less. Then Craig bring the brilliant ray of sunshine that is Beat Kitano into our lives with Boiling Point. Some guys, some baseball, some violence, and Kitano. What more could anyone possibly need?Also we learn new things about Kevin's romantic history and Dave remains comparably calm about everything.Join us, won't we? Episode 85- New Tokyo, Same Old T

Japanuary continues with two solid contenders. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure takes a look at hypnosis, murder, and a very pointed social commentary that escaped at least one of us. Then we take a look at our second Lone Wolf and Cub film with the fifth entry in the series in a lazy attempt to trigger Kevin's film sequence compulsive disorder, Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of the Demons. Also Dave enjoys porn free breathing room, Craig tries to swallow his pain, and Tyler plots deeds too unspeakable to type. All that and a whole lot of regretful name mangling. Episode 84- Mesmer in the River

Still recovering from the internal damaged received last week, RotP barrels full steam into Japanuary. First up, Tyler doubles down on the fetish films with Tokyo Decadence, which turns out to be far more than meets the eye... because it's banned in Australia and South Korea! Then Craig unveils Horrors of Malformed Men, the underseen precursor to Toei's pinku violence series. Dave finds his mental happy place and Kevin finds a new thing to try on Tuesday date night. We apologize to his wife in advance.Join us, won't we? Episode 83- Misshapen Sybarite

We bring 2018 to a horrifying conclusion in the only way we know how... gifting each other movies designed to bring the maximum trauma to the recipient. Bibleman Adventures LIVE! A Light in the Darkness starts the festivities with a side hug. Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie has unexpected consequences. Fifty Shades of Grey teaches us all an important lesson about life, love, and the privileges of being brain dead as well as filthy rich. Finally, Carry on Matron shows us the real pain and horror hidden in the English Music Hall Tradition and the insidiousness of saucy holiday postcards. There is much weeping, whippings and gnashing of teeth... Join us, won't you? Episode 81- OUCH Secret Satan

The last week before Secret Satan brings us two Santa focused features. First up we visit Santa's Summer House, a summer refuge for Jolly Ol' St. Nick to shed the pounds and get his greepy on, where seething resentment and crumbling unions and croquet is the normal order of the day. Then we get abducted along with a couple of meddling kids and taken to Mars to witness the bloody, horrific, savage battles as Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Craig returns just in time to reveal the final piece of Yuletide Giving Pain!* * Editor's Note: Due to circumstances beyond our control everytime you hear "The Brainiacs dot com" please think or say aloud "The Bibleman Adventure Live! A Light in the Darkness!". Thank you. EPISODE 81- ENTER THE SANTA! HO HO NO!

The Holly Jolly CONTINUES! This week we take a look at the 2004 French horror film Calvaire, in which a singer is tortured on his way to a Christmas show down south, and Kubrick's swan song Eyes Wide Shut, in which Tom Cruise has a breakdown because he learned his wife has sexual fantasies.. If those won't put you in the holiday spirit, we have no clue what would. Also Tyler fan gushes, Dave weeps, and Kevin twists the knife. Join us, won't we? Episode 80- Christmas Cruise Sex Ordeal
