January 15, 2026 Ep.224 - Terminator 2: Judgement Day
James Cameron said “hold my liquid metal” and delivered one of the greatest action sequels ever. This week we break down Terminator 2: Judgment Day — a movie where a killer robot dad tries to protect the future, a 10-year-old teaches him how to say “Hasta la vista,” and the T-1000 melts, reforms, and melts again more times than we can count. Bikes, bullets, time travel, and existential dread about AI? Sign us up.

January 01, 2026 Ep.223 - Escape From L.A.
This week on The Decision Reel, Steve and Wally take on Escape from L.A. and immediately derail the episode by asking the most important question of all time: Is this just Metal Gear Solid?
From Snake Plissken’s attitude and stealth vibes to authoritarian futures and over-the-top villains, we connect the dots between John Carpenter’s cult sequel and Kojima’s legendary games. Less subtle analysis, more chaos — just the way Snake would want it.

December 11, 2025 Ep.222 - Gremlins
This week on The Decision Reel, Steve and Wally unwrap Gremlins, the timeless story of a kid who receives the ONE Christmas gift that should legally come with a hazmat suit and a waiver. We dive into the movie that taught an entire generation three simple rules — all of which every character immediately ignores.
This episode goes off the rails faster than Stripe on a Slip ‘N Slide.

October 31, 2025 No, This is Good. - Army Of Darkness
This week we celebrate Halloween by throwing Wally’s 16-year-old son into the wild, chainsaw-swinging, one-liner-spouting madness that is Army of Darkness!
Will he think Ash Williams is the original cringe lord?
Or will the boomstick win him over and prove that practical effects, skeleton armies, and Sam Raimi chaos still slap in 2025?
We grew up calling this peak cinema… now it’s time to find out if Gen-Z agrees.
If you love cult classics, horror comedy, and watching teens roast our nostalgia, smash that like, drop a comment, and subscribe! 🤣🔥
🕸️👻 Happy Halloween, Deadites!

May 29, 2025 Ep.221 - The Lost World Jurassic Park
This week on The Decision Reel, we're heading back to dino territory with The Lost World: Jurassic Park — Spielberg’s wild sequel to his iconic 1993 classic. Join us as we break down everything from gymnastic raptor battles to Jeff Goldblum’s chaotic charisma.
Does this sequel live up to the original, or should it have stayed extinct? Tune in as we debate the dinosaurs, the drama, and the questionable parenting decisions. Chaos theorists welcome.
Hold on to your butts — it’s going to be a prehistoric ride!

May 22, 2025 Ep.220 - Ace Ventura Re-Review
Alrighty then! 🐬 This week on The Decision Reel, we’re circling back for a re-review of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective — and guess who’s back? That’s right, Reid returns to help us dissect Jim Carrey’s outrageous breakout role all over again.
Is it still comedy gold, or has time not been so kind to the talking butt jokes and wild animal chaos? We dive deep into the iconic quotes, physical comedy, and questionable plot twists that made this movie a ’90s staple.

May 15, 2025 Ep.219 - Mortal Kombat Vs Mortal Kombat
Test your might! This week, The Decision Reel enters the arena to pit Mortal Kombat (1995) against Mortal Kombat (2021) in a brutal showdown of nostalgia vs. modern mayhem. Which reigns supreme — the cheesy charm of the '90s or the R-rated fatalities of the reboot? Join us as we dive into the characters, action, music, and what each version got right (or hilariously wrong). Flawless victory? Not quite... but it’s a fight worth watching.

May 08, 2025 Ep.218 - Erin Brockovich
This week on The Decision Reel, we dive into the inspiring true story of Erin Brockovich! Join the crew as we break down Julia Roberts’ powerhouse performance, the David vs. Goliath legal battle, and all the small-town charm and corporate drama packed into this Oscar-winning film. We explore the real-life stakes behind the story, the sharp script, the emotional moments, and, of course, sprinkle in plenty of laughs and tangents along the way.
Is this a movie that still packs a punch today, or does it feel stuck in its early 2000s vibes? Tune in to hear our takes!

May 01, 2025 Ep.217 - American Psycho
In this week’s episode of The Decision Reel, we dive axe-first into the bloody brilliance of American Psycho! Steve, Wally, Tara and special guest Reid dissect the cult classic that gave us business cards, chainsaws, and the unforgettable performance of Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman.
This one’s a bit longer than usual — but trust us, it’s worth every minute. From 80s pop music to the film’s biting satire and iconic quotes, we go deep into what makes American Psycho a twistedly genius ride through the mind of a very well-dressed madman.
So put on your raincoat, turn up the Huey Lewis, and press play on a killer conversation.
🔪 “Do you like podcasts about murder and mayhem?”
Yes. Yes, you do.

April 24, 2025 Ep.216 - Demolition Man
In this episode of The Decision Reel, it's just the dynamic duo — Wally and Steve — diving headfirst into the wild, weird, and wonderfully '90s world of Demolition Man! 💥
Join them as they unravel the chaos of a future where Taco Bell reigns supreme, the seashells remain a mystery, and Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes battle it out in the most explosive (and ridiculous) way possible. Expect hot takes, laughs, and a healthy dose of disbelief at how weirdly accurate parts of this movie ended up being.
Grab your knitting and a fine dining reservation — it's time to get frozen with the fellas.
