The Outer Reels episodes:

July 03, 2025 Street Fighter 2-Hong Kong(?!?): Mad Mission
Not only does Sam not understand Geography, but he doesn't care about history, either. We continue our Street Fighter 2 map with Sam's Chinese pick, 1982's Mad Mission, which is actually out of Hong Kong. It's really dumb but still a lot of fun.

June 26, 2025 Street Fighter 2-USSR: Stalker
Sam hates this classic movie out of the USSR, but Jason knows it's a work of art. Things kinda spiral out of control from there.

June 19, 2025 Street Fighter 2-Taiwan(?!?): Calamity of Snakes
First off, Sam doesn't understand geography, as we're doing a movie from Taiwan in place of one from Thailand. Having said that, this movie is WILD. Just do your best to get through the "story" parts. Also don't tell PETA about this.

June 12, 2025 Street Fighter 2-USA: Steel Frontier
Sam didn't like this one, but Jason thinks it's better than it should have been. There's also a lot of talk about things that aren't this movie, more so than usual, at least. This is a long one, so get comfortable...

June 05, 2025 Street Fighter 2-USA: Mindwarp
This is the first of Sam's "Street Fighter 2" season, where we follow the game's map with a movie from each country. Really, it's just an excuse for Sam to be able to pick an American movie for a change, so sit back and try to enjoy Mindwarp!

May 22, 2025 Brian Trenchard-Smith
We interview ozploitation legend, Brian Trenchard-Smith (see half of our Australian episodes in season 2!). Brian is (obviously) an amazing storyteller, touching on his novel "Alice Through the Multiverse", getting his start in editing movie trailers, and the move into feature films. Be sure to check out his memoir, "Adventures in the B Movie Trade."

May 17, 2025 Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 2)
Sam has a lot to say, including how much he loves League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. No, seriously.

May 08, 2025 Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Decoder
Weird Movie = Weird Episode - Great sounds and music though, and apparently, we find out that Jason does not like True Lies? while learning about his career at the Grocery store, working on Hallmark Christmas movies and somehow Freddy Got Fingered, all in the mix.

May 01, 2025 Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 1)
We're going to take two episodes to cover this German miniseries from 1973. Jason LOVES this while Sam isn't so convinced.
Please excuse Jason's wonky sound this episode (just THIS episode?!?) as he apparently doesn't know how to talk into a microphone.
