Plus a few other categories we felt needed to be added to the Oscar list like Comedy Gold, The Independent Darling, The Sequel of the Year, and Who Did It Best!

Where we look back at our 1991 episode and see if it needs any mistakes rectified or omissions told. But probably not. But probably, we're not always that accurate...

In this episode:

Dan Akroyd wrote, acted and directed 1991's arguably biggest turkey Nothing But Trouble, who knew it was based on an adventure Akroyd himself went through!?

The distinguished career of Frank Whaley, from 1991's Career Opportunities and The Doors, and the argument over the pronunciation of his name and whether or not he wanted to be famous.

Dream projects, everybody has one, and what a better cinematic world this would be if some of these dreams came true.

And a little Digital Underground to play us out of the episode!

Where we look back at our first episode 1994 and see if it needs any mistakes rectified or omissions told. But probably not. But probably, we're not always that accurate...

In this episode:

Pulp hero remakes, could 1994's The Shadow been the reason to bring back old pulp stories from the past? Did Flash Gordon in 1980 help? And how great was Buck Rogers tv show in the 70s!? We already kinda sort of knew the answer, but we really wanted to talk about the 70s disco era vibe of Buck Rogers and Princess Ardalla's sartorial choices.

Let's say we can get a modern pulp hero movie made, who would we cast? 

Releasing movies direct to streaming, good idea? Bad idea? 

We dug up the opening theme to the anime show Kimba The White Lion from the late 60's just because. Something to do with it's similarities to the The Lion King, I'm sure...
