This Month, Rob picks Cobra (1986) starring Sylvester Stallone and Brigitte Nielsen. Gratuitously taking place at Christmas time, Cobra is an unnecessarily violent Action Thriller.  Stallone’s Cobra has been tasked with protecting Ingrid (Nielsen) from the Night Slasher, a very stab-happy member of the undergroudn New World. 

Before you listen to what the RCMS thinks, Experience Cobra from your local library, or buy on DVD and bluray.

This Month, Andrew picks two episodes from Season 3(1995/96) of The X Files. Both episodes, "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "Jose Chung's From Outer Space," were written by Darin Morgan. Morgan's episodes take a more humorous approach than the norm for The X-Files. Guest Stars in these episodes include Peter Boyle, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Jesse Ventura. These episodes can be viewed as one-off experiences or as part of the series as a whole. This makes them an excellent entry point for those unfamiliar with the X-Files as well as a fun revisitation for fanatics.

Before you listen to what the RCMS thinks, Experience These X Files Episodes by checking out season 3 from your local library, or streaming on Hulu.
