Video Junkyard Podcast

This week we watched "The Guyver". This was truly a courageous instance of our old moniker... "We watched it, so you don't have to" mostly because it's not available in the streaming format (our apologies, it used to be on Tubi) and also because you honestly should avoid this movie like it were a piece of invasive biotech. Press play now to hear us discuss "The Guyver" and if you're a fan please shoot us a message and tell us why.

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast, Erik and Joe (and an annoying cricket) review the 1996 American action film "The Long Kiss Goodnight" starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Renny Harlin. Samantha (Davis) has had amnesia for eight years but has started a new life with her family in a small town. But when her past comes back to find her, it triggers her persona as an assassin and spy to kick in and uncovers a deep conspiracy. While certainly covering all of the familiar tropes of 90s action films, does this flick bring back good memories, or is it just firing blanks? Check out the movie for free on TubiTV.com then join is for the discussion on the Video Junkyard Podcast!

On this episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast we take a look at yet another exploitation gem from Frank Henenlotter - 1990's "Frankenhooker" starring James Lorinz, Patty Mullen, and Louise Lasser. When Elizabeth Shelley (Mullen) is killed in a freak accident, her fiancé and armchair surgeon/mad scientist Jeffery Franken (Lorinz)reassembles her with the remains of a number of sex workers dispatched by explosive "super crack".

We aren't even kidding.

But does this bizarre cult classic have more to say in this hilarious update of Mary Shelley's horror classic? Or is it just spare parts? Check out the film on Shudder then join us for the latest episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast!

This week Erik and Ryan brush up on their Russian and take a look at the "first-ever" Soviet horror film "Viy". This is a tale of devils and witchcraft steeped in Russian folk tales. Does this 1967 classic warrant a re-watch or should it be left in the past with the world it takes place in? Check out the movie for free on Tubi and then join us for the discussion and bring along with a warm bottle of straight vodka. You might need it.
