Video Junkyard Podcast

Happy Halloween!! For the second part of our two-part Halloween special we dive into the complete opposite of last week (i.e. family-friendly films) to bring it back around - to get what is coming to you, so to speak. This week Erik, Ryan, and Joe discuss the 1988 horror film PUMPKINHEAD - a timeless tale of loss, grief, and vengeance with a terrifying creature designed by the great director Stan Winston (RIP). How does this chilling tale hold up? Check out the latest episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast to find out!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! For the first part of our two-part Halloween special, we dive into the bizarre world of Disney made-for-TV films and revisit Mr. Boogedy (1986). Erik and Joe invite back long-time friend of the podcast Ryan Steiskal (now a regular host!) to lose his @#$% when he finds out that we only reviewed the first film, and not the sequel (which he watched). Check out the latest entry of the Video Junkyard Podcast for a Halloween Special full of laughs, screams, and plot devices involving a vacuum cleaner....

The third and final installment in our Mini Monster Marathon has us digging deep into the junkyard to find 'Munchies' (1987). This was another childhood favorite but does it stand the test of time likes it's predecessors or should it remain buried like the titular creatures.

This week we continue our Mini-Monster invasion with the attack of our favorite foul mouthed fuzz-balls in 1986's Critters. This is the second in the series and the second of this year's listener picks. Thanks to Madison Smith for recommending Critters. SPOILERS: It's an old favorite and we love it. Always a pleasure to re-watch this one.

This week we present you with 'Ghoulies'. It's the first in our three part series revisiting classic 'min- monster' movies. We won't be talking about Gremlins (except when we do) so get ready for these lesser know films featuring your favorite SCCs (Small Carnivorous Creatures).

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast Erik, Joe, and Ryan take a look at the 1995 and 1996 sequels to the superhero/thriller/action film DARKMAN.

Are these straight to video sequels a worthy continuation of the Darkman story or should this franchise stay forgotten.

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast Erik, Joe, and Ryan revisit the 1990 superhero/thriller/action film DARKMAN, written and directed by Sam Raimi and staring Liam Neeson, Larry Drake, and Francis McDormand. Does this original tale of revenge and madness have a stable face in the age of superhero blockbusters, or should it remain in the shadows?

This week we once again welcome artist Ryan Steiskal to talk about 90s religious thriller 'The Prophecy'. This was quite a popular film in it's day and spawned 4 sequels but is it really the film we remember?

This week we take a look at "Jacob's Ladder". This film had a major effect on us when we saw it years ago but is it still an effective thriller or has it aged out of relevance? A recent remake has us interested in what modern audiences see in this classic from the 90s. Artist Ryan Steiskal joins us to discuss this old favorite.

This week we take a look at a more recent vision of futuristic warfare. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt star in Edge of Tomorrow. This one came out to pretty positive reviews but faded quickly into obscurity. Listen and see if we thought it was worth the time and the $5 in the Bargain Bin.

Have you seen Edge of Tomorrow (Live.Die.Repeat)? Share you review with us and we will include it in an upcoming episode of the VJP. E-mail reviews to [email protected]
