Step aside Ready Player One, The Lawnmower Man was the original VR movie. Starring Pierce Brosnan as the hot scientist, The Lawnmower Man is a wild ride about chimps, becoming too smart, and of course mind control! It's the perfect way to kick off an entire month of Stephen King movies. Even if this one is barely related to Stephen King. Welcome to the start of Scream Kings!!
Porky's is an '80s teen comedy that I'm sure most people are familiar with at least the poster of. Comedies age like milk, but maybe there's a nugget of this movie actually having funny moments. There has to be a reason why it was such a mega-hit back in the day. It wasn't just because there was the possibility of seeing naked women on screen was there?

John Wayne stars in a 3D western called Hondo, based on The Gift of Cochise!! When you close your eyes and picture a movie about the Wild West, this is precisely what you imagine. Warts and all. John Wayne is such a curious star in Hollywood. He feels like he's made out of a heavily tenderized steak. Come for our description of 1950s masculinity and stay for the excellent John Wayne impersonations.

Remember Me came out at the height of Twilight. Robert Pattinson was quickly getting painted into a heartthrob weirdo instead of just an indie movie weirdo that we all know and love! But we know Twilight is bad in a fun way, but what about the other romantic movies he's in? Well lucky for us we also get Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan in the film as well! Plus we have Belle from a show Mike and I binged through the pandemic, Once Upon a Time. Now I'm realizing her face is almost completely obscured by Robert Pattinson's on the poster.

Rocky V is the last Rocky movie before a long break in the series. It's an odd way to end the series. In this movie, Rocky takes Mick's place and starts training Tommy Gunn, who starts doing really well at boxing! He is so proud of him that he forgot to talk to his very own son! Rocky wants to get back out there. But he's too old. So now it's time to live vicariously through a guy with a mullet. Meanwhile, his son is trying to hitchhike to the weird store while smoking cigarettes with his bullies.
Rocky IV is maybe the most iconic movie of the Rocky series. And maybe where the series should have stopped. Rocky faces off against Ivan Drago from the Soviet Union in a battle for American freedom! I'm the unsilent majority here when I say this movie has a killer soundtrack, an amazing robot, Paulie at his best, and of course James Brown. Ricardo returns to guide us through another Rocky movie.
Rocky is a champion in Rocky III! He has it all, cars, a nice house, a loving family, but something is missing. Oh that's right he's gonna have one more fight and then retire. This time for sure. This time his opponent is Clubber Lang played by Mr. T. Who actually gives the Italian Stallion a run for his money! In fact, it shakes him and his family unit to its core! Except Paulie who can die in a ditch for all I care. Ricardo joins us once again to navigate Rocky III.
Rocky is back for a rematch with Apollo Creed in Rocky II! We needed extra help with this episode so we called in long-time guest and massive Rocky fan Ricardo to give us a hand with this movie. Rocky faces a world without the need for him except for his fighting ability. Yet, he doesn't want to do physical labor. He stuck to his guns until Apollo took out a newspaper ad calling him the Stallion Chicken (???) that got him to put his boxing gloves back on. Is Rocky II better than the first? Or will it be so boring it puts you in a coma?
We can't stop with Stallone so let's dive into his most famous franchise, Rocky! Let's just say while this movie won an academy award, some parts of it are a bit of a rocky road. Join us on this wild ride as we explore the franchise that started in 1976 and is still running, in spin-off form, to this day.
