Video Junkyard Podcast

On this episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast, Joe, Erik, and Ryan revisit the 1988 Ron Howard/George Lucas collaboration "Willow" starring Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh, and Billy Barty. This sword and sorcery/fantasy tale hits all the major Tolkien-ish notes, with the crew of Star Wars bringing it to life. But with a new series greenlit for the near future, does Willow hold up to modern cinema, or is this spell a dud? Check out the movie on Disney+ and join us for the review on the Video Junkyard Podcast!

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast we continue to check out the 1984 cult science fiction film "Trancers" directed by Charles Band and starring Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, and Art LaFleur. Thomerson plays Jack Deth - a tough-as-nails cop in the 23rd century who travels back to the 1980s to stop an evil mind-controlling time traveler. Originally released by Band's Empire Pictures, the film spawned five sequels through Full Moon. Does Trancers (aka Future Cop)stand up down the line of time? Or is it just trash for squids? Check out the film on TubiTV for free then join us for the review on the Video Junkyard Podcast!

Come along with Erik and Assad as their TARDIS travels the Whoniverse in a completely random order. This time we've read a non-fiction book from The Black Archive series. The Black Archive books are published by Obverse books and focus on one episode/Story of Doctor Who. The featured volume is "The Black Archive #19: The Eleventh Hour" by Jon Arnold. Listen in on our discussion about Jon Arnold's take on the regeneration episode that brought us the Eleventh Doctor. Eleventh episode of the show, Eleventh Doctor almost seems to perfect to be random but we assure you it is.

There is a Full Moon over the Video Junkyard as we take a look at some of the classic works of cult film entrepreneur Charles Band. We start the festivities with the classic that started it all, 1989's "Puppet Master". Is this one truly worthy of its legendary status? Is a film worthy of 12 sequels? Does the magic of this film make it immortal?

If you're so inclined dig it out of your old trunk and give it another look then be sure to join us for the discussion.

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast we look back at the 1994 miniseries of Stephen King's "The Stand". Directed by Mick Garris and packed with an all-star cast including Gary Sinise, Laura San Giancomo, Molly Ringwald, Jamey Sheridan, Rob Lowe, Ruby Dee, and many many more, "The Stand" is a 6-hour adaptation of King's novel that tells of a world ravaged by a deadly plague that sets survivors on a path of good or a path of darkness.

Sound sorta familiar?

While a new updated series was released earlier in 2021, how does the 1994 version hold up in an age of global pandemics? Check out the latest episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast to join the discussion!
