December 18, 2025 Forgotten Christmas Movies: Trapped Alive
"Some ex-cons and two helpless girls get trapped inside a mine shaft with a Temu Hills Have Eyes monster that never really becomes a threat." Sam nails that one.

December 11, 2025 Forgotten Christmas Movies: Blast of Silence
Sam is annoyed that we even did this movie and spends more time talking about He-Man and Johnny Mnemonic, but Jason loved it.

December 04, 2025 Sometime Directors: The Dark Side of the Moon
This one's Event Horizon BEFORE Event Horizon?!? It's not a good movie (unlike Event Horizon), but we still have lots to talk about here.

November 27, 2025 Sometime Directors: Hickey & Boggs
Fun fact from Sam: Director Robert Culp shares a birthday with Cash of Tango and Cash fame. I'm sure you're better for knowing that. This one's an interesting time capsule that Jason enjoyed a fair bit more than Sam.

November 20, 2025 Sometime Directors: The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires
Sam makes rules onto to break them. Neither director on this movie is a "sometime", but it's fun to see the Shaw Brothers team up with Hammer Films.

November 13, 2025 Sometime Directors: The Resurrected
We watched this Dan O'Bannon-directed Lovecraft story because Sam wouldn't let Jason pick Return of the Living Dead.

November 06, 2025 Sometime Directors: Phase IV
This week we take a look at Sal Bass' only feature as a director: Phase IV. Bass is an artistic genius, and this is not the movie you might think it is from the poster. Also, Sam's still mad about Time After Time.

October 30, 2025 Sometime Directors: Time After Time
Jason was happy to revisit this classic from 1979, but Sam wasn't having it. As tends to happen, we digress a lot, but Sam encouraged it this time, even though he loves his San Francisco movies. Also, you won't believe who Sam's accountant is!

October 23, 2025 Sometime Directors: The Ninth Configuration
This is a meditation on regaining your faith..? Sam liked it more than Jason who saw the "twist" from the start.

October 16, 2025 Sometime Directors: Pursuit
We had fun with this fast-paced directorial debut from Michael Crichton: 1972's made-for-TV "Pursuit". Look for a blink-and-you'll miss him cameo from pre-famous Martin Sheen!
