The Outer Reels episodes:

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!

October 09, 2025 Action Smacked: Roller Blade
For the last movie in our season of selections from Action Smacked, we watched Roller Blade from 1986. It's a trip, and we still don't really know what happened.

October 02, 2025 Action Smacked: Parole Violators
If you can make it to the end of this Action Smacked pick, you might actually enjoy this family affair. Bonus old phone story time from Sam, and the usual gushing about Tango and Cash

September 25, 2025 Action Smacked: Champagne and Bullets
There's multiple versions (and titles!) of this movie and all seem to be a mess, but this guy has made a movie and we haven't, so it's got that going for it! Buckle up, this is a long one.

September 18, 2025 Action Smacked: Penitentiary II
This movie is WILD. It's not a good movie, but we still had some fun with this boxing Blaxploitation film from '82.
