The Final Picture Show Podcast: Where the End times are Alive!

Mister Narrator! this is Bob Dylan to me, this movie could be your life...if your life was walking and post-apocalyptic rugby. Scientist rock it is not. But a fun movie it is. Come along as we talk about our favorite Halloween memories, whatever trunk or treating is, the fantastic sport of Juggering, the best of Rutger Hauer, and how freaking awesome of a movie this is--and maybe one of the only sports focused post-apocalyptic movies ever made.

Days of dancing real close, plus it being real slow, it was making it hard for us so we heed the call of the wastelands and journey to Lost Vegas as get into the world of Six String Samurai. Come along as we talk about: what type of guys we are, recent car problems, Travis ska roots, the proper way to abandon a child at the end of the world, 1998’s one hit wonders, and how fun of a movie this is.This movie is actually free on Youtube. So if our words interested you at all to give it a watch do so.

I got a 20$ bill that says no one’s ever seen you without mentioning 1971 Charlie Heston end of the world epic: The Omega Man. This week we appreciate the man, the myth, the lunatic gun fanatic: Charlie Heston. Listen along as we talk about our Favorite Heston movies, Mad Max Rip-Offs, Stealing from bankrupt Big Box Stores, the levels of "sickness,” and if this 70s action film is superior to the 60s slow paced end of the world yawn from a few weeks ago. Let us know what you think is Omega Man better than Last Man on Earth? Both good? 🤷

Were not even supposed to be here today! This week we take a break and do something completely different as we look at a different kind of apocalyptic tale, from the dark depths of 1995 comes the lost TV pilot, and thankfully the only episode, of not Kevin Smith’s Clerks. Join along as we talk about found memories of Kevin Smith movies, late night insomnia, how this pilot came to exist and why it needed to die, and end this little bonus episode by having AI take their hand at crafting an episode of Clerks. The horribleness and the awfulness of it will never actually be forgotten. Next episode we return to the end of the world with Omega Man (1971) staring podcast hall of famer: Charlie Heston.

This week we think we’re alone, there does not seem to be anyone around—except Morgan and his rag tag bunch of nobodies as we watch, or rather suffer, through Last Man On Earth. We discuss a range of topics from: what we want out of Book adaptations, nostalgia of physical media buying from bankrupt stores, neo-realism, flashbacks—and why maybe you should avoid boring narration for the first half of your movie. We disagree for the first time. Listen in and let us know is this movie a cult classic or a boring slog of a movie that is badly made?

Come along on this fantastic voyage, slide, slide-slippity-slide with us into the world or Michael Bay's 1998 end of the world romance Armageddon. This week we get right into all elements of the film: the strong year that 1998 was movies, our love of Pain and Gain, the temporal impossibilities this movie presents, space dementia, paying to see Billy Bob play live, and why this movie is awful but good at the same time. We call that a f------ paradox. This is essential 90s viewing!

We're gonna go to the record store we're gonna give em' all our money to watch Tim Burton's 2001 film Planet of the Apes. And sell out our souls by starting the Odyssey that is the Apes movie franchise with the oddest one of them all. We get into chaotic life changes, the best Tim Roth movies we can think of, answer the question of: can Mark Wahlberg act? And end the episode by brainstorming some possible sequels that never came.

"6-6-6, the number of the beast/ Hell and Fire was spawned to be released" This week on the podcast we take a dive into our increasingly sickly lives, trips to the doctor, the best James Earl Jones movies, nu-metal soundtracks, Sept 11th memories, and somewhere in there we find time to talk about the awful apocalyptic videogame mess of a movie known only as Resident Evil. It is a fun time, give it a listen, a like, a share and all the jazz.

God’s gift to us is Canadian girls, gods gift to us is 1930s apocalyptic swan dive Deluge! Come along the waters fine, we dive into the deep end on tonight's episode of the podcast we look at one of the earliest entries into the post-apocalypse movie canon with Deluge from 1933. Join as we talk about subjects as fun and diverse as: the fate of doomed 1930 actresses, this movies connection to Tommy Dreamer from ECW, the amazing practical effects of early cinema, the switch from silent film to talkies, and why all men should die if the world ends. It's a fun episode. Give it a listen, a like, a share and all that jazz.*There is a warning to start this week’s episode about the topics of this evenings show—please give it a listen before deciding to continue.

Disco fever’ Disco fever, yeah yea yea—we got that disco fever, join us in what was a lost episode as we delve into the world of Sci-fi legend L. Ron Hubbard as we, simple humans, look at the John Travolta led disaster of a film Battlefield Earth. We will look at the movie itself, the lore surrounding it getting made, what it was supposed to be—how badly it bombed, late night cinemax from the 90s, and if the film is actually that bad, and how Tarantino could have saved the day. The audio was really bad for this episode as the software decided to record a different mic then intended. It’s not the best, but it only gets better from here!
