Episodes
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Sisterhood
Jason wishes he was watching Automan instead of this movie about women with boring super powers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Solar Crisis
This movie has an incredible cast, is easily the biggest budget movie we've ever covered, and it's all wasted. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Last Island
Start with Lost, add Gilligan's Island, take away all the fun, and you're left with this dry husk of a movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Future Fear
Stacy Keach is a General who's also a Satanist Nazi. What more do you want?!? Also, we're going to educate you on Canadian Tire. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: She
We had a hard time following this one, even after finding out it was based on a book from 1887?!? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: 2019 After the Fall of New York
"There is just enough confusing things, but just enough competency where I was like, oh! I'm really curious how they're going to figure this out or explain this. Then they don't." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Day the World Ended
We were charmed by this very early Roger Corman film, even if we think it should have been better served as a Twilight Zone episode. Which, of course, leads to lots of Twilight Zone talk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Circuitry Man
This one was ALMOST good, but doesn't quite come together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Radioactive Dreams
We were completely charmed by this one, which isn't unexpected given its deserved cult status. Do yourself a favour and watch the movie before you listen to this episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Phoenix the Warrior
Listen in to hear Jason talk about the comic this movie inspired and Sam to explain the connection to Tango and Cash, because all things in Sam's mind lead to Tango and Cash. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: City Limits
While Sam would rather talk about My Science Project, we persevere. Listen in to hear about an amazing cast, all of whom would go on to do many, better things. Oh, and there's more comic talk! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Ultra Warrior
This one is WILD. It's a hodge-podge of almost every Roger Corman film you've (n)ever seen, morphed into some kind of narrative that doesn't really even try to make sense. . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Quintet
Wait. Robert Altman? PAUL NEWMAN?!? How have we never heard of this before? Well, now we know why. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Lunar Cop
Sam talked about this one for a while, and after a bit of an adventure we were finally (unfortunately?) able to watch it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Shape of Things to Come
This is actually called "H.G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come", but it has nothing to do with the H.G. Wells novel. Also, this is hot garbage, but Jack Palance does wear a cape. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Interzone
Come to hear us try and understand this movie that we could barely hear, but stay for Sam's story about his dad designing a new motorcycle engine! Oh, and shockingly Jason develops a crush on our lead French actress. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Deathsport
The people who made this movie appear to have hated it, but we found a lot to like, even if it's not a sequel to Death Race 2000. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Dystopia: Future Force
Sam does it again in forgetting what the actual theme of the season is, though he's quick to point out that there is now a quarry in downtown LA, so it's close enough? Plus, David Carradine phones this in, but still manages to elevate it past where it should be. Hosted on Acast. See...
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Yor Hunter from the Future
This one is wild, and we both had a lot of fun it it's insanity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Dystopia: Warriors of the Year 2072
Sam thought he had a post apocalyptic movie, but it turns out to just be a dystopia. Meanwhile, Jason is sorry he was sick (again). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Survival Zone
For our 100th episode Jason subjected to Sam, who decided half way through he had talked enough about this movie and would rather talk about everything else we've done. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Aftermath
We have been introduced to the work of Steve Barkett, and this will NOT be the last. And welcome to The Outer Reels, Sid Haig! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: American Cyborg Steel Warrior
We pour one out for the demise of Cannon Films before we get into things on Steel American Cyborg Warrior. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Stryker
More pants (or lack thereof) talk in this week's episode, which is also the FIRST in Cirio H. Santiago's post apocalyptic movies. We've seen this car before, but now it's for the first time! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Dune Warriors
Listen in as we try to figure out if this is an actual rip-off of World Gone Wild as well as where are David Carradine's pants? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Land of Doom
Tune in to hear about how Sam wants every villain to be like Waterworld's Deacon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: World Gone Wild
Such wasted potential! This movie has a great cast, mostly looks good, but just doesn't come together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Warrior of the Lost World
Sam encounters his longest prologue ever, while Jason goes and gets a drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Equalizer 2000
Tune in to us trying to figure out if this is a stealth sequel to Wheels of Fire. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Battletruck
Battletruck, AKA Warlords of the 21st Century,, AKA the prequel to Terminus? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Crime Zone
There's some debate as to if this is actually a post apocalyptic movie or just a dystopian one, but in the end we feel Jason is justified. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Endgame
Continuing our never-ending season on post apocalyptic movies, Sam found one that surprised both of us. It's not good, but it's a lot better than it really should be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Strange New World
Jason subjects Sam to the third attempt to get a Pax TV show from Gene Roddenberry. Surprising no one, this one doesn't work either. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Rats Night of Terror
Be careful what poster you see before watching this as some of them make this look like a VERY different movie from what it actually is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Planet Earth
The second of three attempts at getting Gene Roddenberry's "Pax" series going leaves Sam angry this time, but at least he's only got one more to go. This one has the awesome John Saxon, so it's not a complete waste of time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Ultimate Warrior
This one's got some serious Outer Reels royalty in it, but is an otherwise mediocre movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Genesis II
Jason subjects Sam to the first of three(!) made-for-TV movies that were an attempt to get a new Gene Roddenberry sci-fi series onto network TV in the early 70's. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Human Animals
Truly one we watched so you don't ever, EVER need to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Ravagers
We were excited by this, and left disappointed. How do you have a movie "staring" Ernest Borgnine, and only use him for 16 minutes?!? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: Wheels of Fire
We were surprised by this one. It's not good, but it's a lot more fun than we expected it to be! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Apocalypse: The Final Sanction
We're starting a new year with a new season: Forgotten Apocalypse! Jason cheats right off the bat with a movie that only has a slight apocalypse, but it does start with a small nuclear war, so it counts, damnit. We also welcome back our Returning Outer Reels Champion William Smith, for his 3rd...
-
Forgotten Christmas Movies: Trapped Alive
"Some ex-cons and two helpless girls get trapped inside a mine shaft with a Temu Hills Have Eyes monster that never really becomes a threat." Sam nails that one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Forgotten Christmas Movies: Blast of Silence
Sam is annoyed that we even did this movie and spends more time talking about He-Man and Johnny Mnemonic, but Jason loved it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Sometime Directors: The Dark Side of the Moon
This one's Event Horizon BEFORE Event Horizon?!? It's not a good movie (unlike Event Horizon), but we still have lots to talk about here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Sometime Directors: Hickey & Boggs
Fun fact from Sam: Director Robert Culp shares a birthday with Cash of Tango and Cash fame. I'm sure you're better for knowing that. This one's an interesting time capsule that Jason enjoyed a fair bit more than Sam. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Sometime Directors: The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires
Sam makes rules onto to break them. Neither director on this movie is a "sometime", but it's fun to see the Shaw Brothers team up with Hammer Films. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Sometime Directors: The Resurrected
We watched this Dan O'Bannon-directed Lovecraft story because Sam wouldn't let Jason pick Return of the Living Dead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Sometime Directors: Phase IV
This week we take a look at Sal Bass' only feature as a director: Phase IV. Bass is an artistic genius, and this is not the movie you might think it is from the poster. Also, Sam's still mad about Time After Time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Sometime Directors: Time After Time
Jason was happy to revisit this classic from 1979, but Sam wasn't having it. As tends to happen, we digress a lot, but Sam encouraged it this time, even though he loves his San Francisco movies. Also, you won't believe who Sam's accountant is! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...
-
Sometime Directors: The Ninth Configuration
This is a meditation on regaining your faith..? Sam liked it more than Jason who saw the "twist" from the start. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
