SyFy Channel's crowning achievement in goofy movie knock-offs gets a brief summary: BOA VS. PYTHON!

Aside from some interesting star power, no nonsense pacing & making its low-budget work for its already sarcastic nature, where does this crossover franchise even rank among other B-movie franchises?

Inbetween the sequels summary, you'll also get to hear some other quips and clips from the 2004 TV ratings smash hit!

We love doing a special where we talk about the biggest villains in a movie/TV franchise and STARGATE SG-1 was next on the docket:

How often does Ba'al (and his many clones) often die-onscreen?

Was Apophis or Maybourne the bigger villain every viewer loved to despise?

Were the Wraith truly scary?

And which villain had some deliberately amusing lines that made us look forward to the heroes facing off with them (in space no less)?

Open up the Iris for sheer geekdom!

We share with you a raw & in-the-moment sitdown on Prolific B-Movie Producer Roger Corman.

We sat on this as we wanted to give everyone time to process the beloved filmmaker's loss while also framing it mainly on why he resonates with so many of us many film nerds.

After starting off with a 1982 David Letterman interview clip, we dive deeper into some of the future A-list talent mentored by Corman, talk less-discussed trivia & address the crappy comments made by (the otherwise talented) screenwriter Paul Schrader over Corman's passing.

Love him, hate him, admire the passion, Roger's influence is here to stay for centuries regardless!

Johnny Potoky & Oreo Brewer join me in this retrospect/tribute on the divisive yet influential music group LINKIN PARK

Talking Points Include:

*How this band and Nine Inch Nails both become healing music

*We critique the sexist trolls & people who were never going to accept any new Linkin Park material as being the main problem

*How people love to hate ANYTHING they do even though they're not fans & how the group got a better ethical character compared to other garbage rock bands

*The dark realities of Chester Bennington and question why it takes famous people to bring this up in our own personal conversations

*How these music artists influence our personal author & music video creating experiences

*We also talk about who was the ACTUAL owner of the band

*How shitty Chester's song was (when he has no business being on social media in the first place)

*And the debate on music artists finding a new music style Vs. losing their true sense of comradery.
