  • Episode 20 - Tombstone (1993)

    Today we're packing up and heading west to Arizona because silver has been discovered there, and there are some cottages coming up for rent in a little mining town called Tombstone full of sash-wearing cowboys, opium addicted women, and no law. Join us as we lay it down!

  • Episode 19 - Meet Joe Black (1998) feat. Chris Meyers

    Wow, Joseph and I didn't realize there would be so much to unpack in this one, so we brought along guest host Chris: Red to Joseph's Andy. We have some laughs, some deep dives, and even a few existential questions that still need answered. What is Death? And WHO. IS. JOE. BLACK?

  • Episode 15 - A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

    Today we're trekking to Springwood, Ohio to cruise down Elm Street and check ourselves into Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital.

  • Episode 14 - Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)

    You're about to hear two podcasters in a fledgling video store watch a film from 1983, one based on a popular television show ripe with societal commentary. Soon they'll be transported, as will you, to the fifth dimension. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. That's the signpost up ahead — your next stop: Varicon Video!
