Tv/Movie Rewind

Matt and Todd are joined by listener Robb to kick off Halloween 2024.

Today we discuss the underrated John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness

Starring: Donald Pleasance, Victor Wong, Jameson Parker and Lisa Blount

Scientists and faith battle evil on earth in this this 1987 Horror Classic available in the US with a Premium Peacock subscription, or for rental on many others. If you're a fan of Phantasm, Hellraiser, or Event Horizon we think you'll love it.

Join Matt, Todd, and professional Canadian Logan (no not, "that" Logan), as we discuss the Canadian-cult-comedy-classic: The Adventures of Bob & Dough McKenzie: Strange Brew (or simply: Strange Brew).

This absolute classic was an early 80s HBO staple and stars the talents of:

Dave Thomas (as Doug, also Co-Director/Writer)

Rick Moranis (as Bob, also Co-Director/Writer)

Max Von Sydow,

Paul Dooley, and Lynne Griffin.

SCTV Alums Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis bring their beloved Bob & Doug characters into the big screen for the first time in 1983.

This movie has it all! Canadians, Hockey, Beer, Shakespeare, Ghosts and a sinister conspiracy for world domination.

As of 9/29/2024 we couldn't find a free streaming service with Strange Brew available in the US, but this one comes with one of our highest recommendations for fans of movies like: Wayne's World or Hot Rod.

They made a sequel to Sniper?

Yes, join Matt and Todd as they discuss 2 of the NINE sequels to one of the most prolific franchises you might not even know existed.

Follow Marine Major Gunnery Sargent and accomplished Sniper Thomas Beckett (Beringer) as he finds himself out of retirement and recruited again for action.

Sniper 2 stars Tom Beringer and Bokeem Woodbine and featuring Whit Bissell winner Erika Marozsán. The first sequel of the series ups the military-action, while Sniper 3 stars Beringer reprising the role, largely solo this time, with a more intrigue and a story somewhat lifted from Apocalypse Now with supporting roles by: Byron Mann, Denis Arndt, John Dorman and Jeannetta Arnette.

Today Matt & Todd discuss the 1998 Crime-Thriller:

Suicide Kings

Starring:

Christopher Walken, Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas, Sean Patric Flannery, Jeremy Sisto, Jonathan Gilecki, Cliff Deyoung, Denis Leary (... and several supporting stars)

This ensemble cast puts together a fun crime-thriller that can't help but be compared to several Quentin Tarantino classics. When it isn't trying to add superficial elements of its more-popular contemporaries, the film stands its own with a solid story and excellent performances.

Join Matt & Todd as they discuss the forgotten 1992 Sci-Fi Killer-Thriller: Split Second, starring Rutger Hauer, Neil (Alistair) Duncan, and Kim Cattrall.

Detective Harley Stone (Hauer) is tracking an elusive killer that tears the hearts from its victims in a near-future (actually, past-future) 2008 London, ravaged by the flooded waters of the Thames River.

A bloody streak of killings every 12 years has the haggard Stone at the end of his rope, and his straight-laced, fresh-faced partner Dick questioning the supernatural and extraterrestrial. 

Split Second feels like a blend of low-key sci-fi thrillers from the '80s, wrapped in Blade Runner-esque visuals, great performances, and endless rushing water.

Split Second is available on multiple free and subscription streaming services in the US and worldwide.

If you’re a collector, you’ll want to track this one down!

Near-future Rutger Hauer sci-fi, police-procedural killer-thriller, cool guns, great lines, and gallons of fun.

Matt and Todd discuss the 1990-1997 NBC-TV Sit-Com; Wings, starring Tim Daly, Steven Weber and Crystal Bernard as we join their lives on Nantucket Island's Tom Nevers Field.

The show features early performances by Thomas Haden Church as Lowell, Tony Shalhoub as Antonio and cameos from across the harbor.

Wings cruises through 8 strong seasons yet is largely forgotten in the wake of industry giants of the early-mid 90s like Friends, Seinfeld, Cheers, Frasier, Married... With Children, Mad About You, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Simpsons, Fish Police and Capitol Critters.

Join Matt and Todd as they discuss the 1991 film: New Jack City.

Starring: Wesley Snipes, Ice-T and Judd Nelson.

Director: Mario Van Peebles

New Jack City blends the genres of crime, action and drama with talented performances into a wholly entertaining movie by the debut feature film director. Add this one to your collection if you are a fan of the genre, we don't think you will be disappointed.

One weekend, Matt, Todd, and Shawn decided to talk about a world-war II spy thriller.

Where Eagles Dare follows spy tension with explosive action in this 1968 classic directed by Brian Hutton, starring Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure and Patrick Wymark.

1978 brought us more blood.

1983 brought us more dimensions.

1987 brought us another movie.

Matt and Todd discuss the sliding scale of quality in the sequels to the original summer blockbuster, Jaws.

Matt and Todd discuss the Superhero Action-Comedy: Superman III, Directed By: Richard Lester and starring Richard Pryor and Christopher Reeve. Before we get into the main subject we start with an outline of where Superman I and II left us off.

While acknowledging this films flaws, we think there is a lot of fun to be had here, enjoy the ride. You will believe computers can do anything.
