Episode 106: Psycho (1960)
Alfred Hitchcock spent 1960 convincing America that a nice boy who loved his mother was the real threat. In Psycho (1960), Janet Leigh steals $40,000, checks into the Bates Motel, and finds out the hard way that "mother isn't quite herself today"! Shot on a shoestring budget using his television...

-
Episode 104: Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
The Herbie franchise took quite the turn in 2005, and we can't say it was for the better.... Join us as we turn our attention to Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005), where Disney puts a sentient and worn-out Volkswagon Beetle on a NASCAR track with Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, all while asking race…

Episode 103: 43: The Petty Story (1972)
Previously on the podcast, we experienced ESPN struggling with their dramatization of the Dale Earnhardt story; today, we go in a completely different direction: 43. In 43: The Petty Story (1972), we get a regional B-movie (if it even counts as that) where Richard Petty plays himself. While the...
-
Episode 102: 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story (2004)
Welcome back! Today we expose ourselves to 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story (2004), the ESPN film that tried to make the Intimidator fit inside a two-hour window and left shredded pieces of rubber all the way down the backstretch (that's a tire reference for NASCAR-newbies). Barry Pepper dons the...
-
Episode 101: Steel Chariots (1997)
Join us as we kick off our next set of 100 episodes! Where to start? How about one of the worst racing movies of all time: Steel Chariots (1997)? A made-for-tv cluster of a movie, Steel Chariots is the Fox Tuesday Night Movie that asked: what if Days of Thunder had less talent, more Baywatch DNA,...
-
Episode 100: Days of Thunder (1990)
Recorded just weeks prior to the recent announcement of Days of Thunder 2 (!!!), this week we take a deep dive into an all-time NASCAR racing classic, Days of Thunder (1990), starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid, Cary Elwes (Princess Bride!), and John C. Reilly. So join…

Episode 99: Cannonball Run 2 (1984)
We're back! This week we tackle Cannonball Run 2 (1984), where we find more celebrities and more chaos than the original. Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise return, alongside a ton of cameos that fans of the '80s will love. So bad that it's good? Let's find out!
-
Episode 98: The Cannonball Run (1981)
What if Ocean's 11 was about race cars? You'd have The Cannonball Run (1981), an action-comedy film based on the 1979 running of the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. Yes, that's right, this movie is based on an actual true story. Featuring an amazing cast of Burt…
more -
Episode 97: Greased Lightning (1977)
Buckle up for Greased Lightning (1977), a biographical film where the iconic Richard Pryor stars as Wendell Scott, a real-life pioneer who started as a WWII vet and moonshine runner in Danville, Virginia, and eventually became the first Black driver to win a NASCAR national series race. Does this...
-
Episode 96: The Last American Hero (1973)
Join us as we fire up the engines for the 1973 film, The Last American Hero, starring a young Jeff Bridges as Elroy 'Junior' Jackson, a backroads bootlegger who yearns to make it in racing. Loosely based on the real-life NASCAR legend Junior Johnson and a famous article by Tom Wolfe, this is far...
-
Episode 95: Stroker Ace (1983)
Today we're firing up our engines for a full-throttle comedy ride with Stroker Ace (1983), starring the one and only Burt Reynolds. Directed by Reynolds' long-time collaborator Hal Needham (Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run), Stroker Ace has become a cult classic over the years.…
more -
Episode 94: Leprechaun Origins (2014)
In today's episode, we suffer through the failed reboot of the Leprechaun series, Leprechaun Origins (2014). No longer starring Warwick Davis, the role of the "leprechaun" goes to Dylan Postl (famous for playing the role of a leprechaun in WWE). Unlike the wise-cracking Leprechaun from the first…
more -
Episode 93: Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003)
Join us as we dive into the chaotic world of Leprechaun 6: Back 2 tha Hood (2003), the 6th installment in the cult horror-comedy franchise where Warwick Davis returns (for the final time!) as the pint-sized, rhyming Leprechaun. Unfortunately, he does virtually no rhyming in this film, which is...
-
Episode 92: Leprechaun in the Hood (2000)
Welcome back as we take our chances with the outlandish Leprechaun in the Hood (2000). The fifth entry in the franchise, this film lowers the stakes, bringing our favorite little Leprechaun back to earth and into the streets of Los Angeles, where the Leprechaun seeks to reclaim his stolen flute...
-
Episode 91: Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996, 1997)
Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996, 1997) is the greatest cinematic crime against both Ireland and outer space! Starring Warwick Davis (with a great performance), the Leprechaun somehow manages to be the only serious character in this muddled mess of a movie. All that being said, this film does give us...
-
Episode 90: Leprechaun 3 (1995)
In this episode, we continue following our favorite Leprechaun as he continues what will now be direct-to-video adventures. In Leprechaun 3 (1995), he makes a stop in Las Vegas, where he loses one of his gold shillings and spends the movie punishing those who make selfish wishes! Also, please…
more -
Episode 89: Leprechaun 2 (1994)
Ready for more green-tinted mayhem? Grab a bottle of Irish whiskey (not Canadian!) and join us as we take an up-close look at Leprechaun 2 (1994), where the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) returns dead set on taking a bride! "She sneezes once, she sneezes twice, she'll be me bride when she sneezes...
-
Episode 88: Leprechaun Returns (2018)
Serving as a soft reboot of the series after the disastrous Leprechaun: Origins (accidently released in 2014), Leprechaun Returns (2018) finds Linden Porco taking over the role of the leprechaun. Ignoring all the previous sequels, Returns is a direct sequel to the 1993 film. Regarding the plot…
more -
Episode 87: Leprechaun (1993)
"Try as they will, and try as they might, who steals me gold won't live through the night!" What better way to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit than starting a new series: the Leprechaun movies featuring Warwick Davis! Starting with the original (Leprechaun, 1993), this film is also...
-
Episode 86: It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman! (1975 TV Special)
Based on the failed Superman musical, It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman! (1975) is one of the oddest forgotten relics in Superman history. A made for TV special, the musical was doomed from the start, airing (only once) at 11:30pm EST. Thankfully, at least one person recorded it and we…
more -
Episode 85: Stamp Day for Superman (1954)
Ever wondered what happens when Superman (George Reeves) swaps his cape for a sales pitch or Uncle Sam? In this obscure 1954 short film, Stamp Day for Superman, Superman busts a burglar who is basically just a guy who didn't have a budget, and Lois Lane gets snagged by his accomplice (who…
more -
Episode 84: Steel (1997)
Time for some Shaq-Fu! Well, not actually. Today we re-visit Steel (1997), which sees Shaquille O'Neal portray a not-so-super supporting character from the Superman universe. Unfortunately, this movie completely ignores any Superman connection (other than Shaq's real life tattoo). Ultimately…
more -
Episode 83: Atom Man vs. Superman (1950 serial)
"This looks like a job for . . . Superman!" Before George Reeves became an iconic Superman, gracing the silver screen and fighting for the rights of mole people, two serials were produced by Columbia pictures. Today we look at the second serial, which originally ran as 15 weekly chapters before a...
-
Episode 82: Child's Play (1988)
Picture this: It's 1988, the height of the slasher era, and a seemingly innocent Good Guy doll - freckle faced, red haired, sweet voice - becomes the vessel for one of the most ruthless serial killers ever. Merry Christmas, Andy! Enjoy your new toy! "Hi, I'm Chucky...wanna play?" Directed by Tom...
-
Episode 81: A Garfield Christmas (1987, 1991)
Alas, the time has come for our final holiday episode of 2025, A Garfield Christmas (1987, 1991). In this heartwarming made-for-tv special, Jon takes Garfield and Odie to the childhood farm to celebrate Christmas with the family, including the awesome Grandma. What follows is an epic adventure...
-
Episode 80: Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1979)
Rankin/Bass Assemble! The conclusion of at least three trilogies at the same time (Rudolph, Frosty, Mickey Rooney's Santa Claus, and possibly Jack Frost), Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1979) is in many ways the Endgame of the Rankin/Bass multiverse. In it, we see the Cosmic Forces at…
more -
Episode 79: Frosty the Snowman (1969) / Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976)
Double Feature! Come join us as we revisit two Christmas classics: Frosty the Snowman (1969) and Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976)! In the original (which everyone has seen), we see the origin story of Frosty as he has an epic clash with the evil magician, Professor Hinkle! Will the neighborhood...
-
Episode 78: Jack Frost (1979)
Tis the Season for Rankin/Bass specials! Kicking off our holiday episodes, come join us with some hot cocoa as we discuss the merits of Jack Frost (1979). Narrated by Pardon Me Pete (the most famous groundhog in the world), Jack Frost tells the tale of how the elfish ice sprite attempts to win…
more -
Episode 77: Friday the 13th, Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
After 4 movies with the lovable Jason (and his mother), the Friday the 13th franchise decided to go in a bold new direction and begin what would become a new trilogy of films. The result? This movie was so bad, and people were so disappointed, that the "new beginning" only lasted one movie. Jason...
-
Episode 76: Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982)
While Michael Myers makes a cameo appearance in this movie as an actor (they play the original movie in the background!), the Shape as a force to be reckoned with is nowhere to be found in the third installment of the franchise. Instead, we get the tale of an Irish witch sacrificing millions of...
-
Episode 75: The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Frank and Freddy play with the chemical toxins responsible for The Night of the Living Dead (1968). Then Burt helps Ernie cover it up. But the cover up wakes up the long-term residents of Resurrection Cemetery, who terrorize a group of 1980s teenagers looking for a fun time... Sounds like a…
more -
Episode 74: Return of the Fly (1959)
The Fly returns! Actually, his son returns as a new, cheaper, version. But we do get a Fly in a tuxedo! In the cash grab sequel to the original classic, Philippe blackmails his uncle Francois (Vincent Price) into helping him recreate his father's work. Ultimately, history repeats itself when...
-
Episode 73: The Fly (1958)
Buzz...Buzz... "Help me! Help me!"...Buzz...Buzz... Originally a short story in an inappropriate men's magazine, The Fly (1958) took no time to fly to all-time classic status. A workaholic (and slightly insane) scientist Andre invents the first teleportation machine (take that, Star Trek!). After…
more -
Episode 72: The Return of Swamp Thing (1989)
Swamp Thing is back in the Bayou! With a new suit and accent, Dick Durock once again stars in The Return of Swamp Thing (1989). A loose sequel to the 1982 film, Abbie Arcane (Heather Locklear) appears at Anton Arcane's mansion, seeking to find out what happened to her mother many years prior....
-
Episode 71: Swamp Thing (1982)
Directed by the great Wes Craven, Swamp Thing (1982) is a hard-to-find cult classic that follows the adventures of mad scientist Anton Arcane as he chases down a magic formula that has transformed Dr. Alec Holland into Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing also protects (and stares at) government agent Alice...
-
Episode 70: Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
In this milestone episode, we take a closer look at the greatest B-movie of all-time, Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) by the Chiodo Brothers, who are widely known for their special effects in movies such as Critters and Ernest Scared Stupid. In this movie, aliens resembling clowns stop by...
-
Episode 69: James Gunn's Superman (2025) and The New Adventures of Superman (1966)
Time for a double-header! First, we look at James Gunn's Superman (2025) [aka James Gunn Present Superman IV: A Quest for Peace Part 2] and the spiritual successor to some Superman show, the first season of The New Adventures of Superman (1966).
-
Episode 68: Captain America: The Pyun Cut (1990)
Last season, we did an in-depth review of Captain America (1990). Little did we know that Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Video would release the restored Director's Cut! Join us as we discuss the merits of this version of the film. New cult classic? Is this version great? Is this version good? Is the...
-
Episode 67: Superman: The Last Son of Krypton (1996, Pilot)

-
Episode 66: Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (Pilot, 1993)
Join us as we look at the double-episode TV pilot of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which aired from 1993-1997. While the plot is a little all-over-the-place in the pilot, we get to see what many would argue is the collectively best cast in the history of Superman, including Dean...
-
Episode 65: Superman 4: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Welcome back to the conclusion of the Christopher Reeve's Superman era! Not counting the horrid spiritual successor, Superman Returns, of course. Featuring the returning Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), this movie sees Superman take over the world! Not really, but Superman does try to force the end of...
-
Episode 64: Superman 3 (1983)
And now for something completely different... While not well received by Superfandom, we argue that compared to many 1980s films, Superman III (1983) has aged like a fine wine. Where else can you get Richard Pryor as a mad scientist (of sorts), the prototype for Zach Snyder's Superman, the first...
-
Episode 63: Superman Returns (2006)
Intended as a legacy sequel to Superman I and II, Superman returns to earth after abandoning the earth and a pregnant Lois for 5 years! Working under the assumption she still received the kiss of amnesia, you would think this would set up an interesting plot for a movie, but...not so much....
-
Episode 62: Superman 2: The Richard Lester vs Richard Donner Cuts (1980, 2006)
Welcome to the original Snyder Cut! Well, kind of.... Released in 2006, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is a re-edited director's cut of Superman II (1980). In fact, the edits are so dramatic that it is like watching an entirely different movie. The back story is that Superman I and II were...
-
Episode 61: Superman: The Fleischer Cartoons (1941-1943)
Join us as we dive into the classic Superman short films produced by Fleischer Studios. These 17 shorts were released between 1941 and 1943, and in these films, we get all kinds of wonderful 6-minute adventures (from mad scientists to off-brand Godzilla to Superman fighting the Nazis and their...
-
Episode 60: Supergirl (1984)
Supergirl (1984) is the 4th film in the Superman film series set in the Christopher Reeve universe. This movie sees Supergirl run away from her misdeeds on her home planet and play private school girl on Earth. While you would think this premise combined with witches and warlocks would be box...
-
Episode 59: Superman and the Mole-Men (1951)
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's the Mole-Men! In Superman and the Mole-Men (1951), we join George Reeves' Superman as he confronts a small town that is not playing nice with their underground neighbors. Is it really a big deal that everything the little people touch glows in the dark? Or…

Episode 58: Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation (1999 or 2000)
