TOTLB 523 Goosebumps
If you didn't know who Slappy was when you were growing up, somehow you few up without Goosebumps, which is quite a shame!! RL Stine filled most of our young lives with scary, but not too scary, and goofy types of campfire stories!! The first reiteration of Goosebumps as a TV show was anthology...

-
TOTLB 521 Road House 2024
Back at it, talking about a remake of a beloved movie, Road House! Many people booed the decision to remake this movie when the announcement was made, but, while not perfect, we think that they turned out a decent film. It might not have the nostalgia of the original but there are still many…

Today's newest episode comes out of the COVID days and was only known about by one member of the team! It's a horror/thriller movie about monsters and cults about a person who seems oblivious to it all! We're talking about a small movie named Dashcam! It follows a conservative lady going through...

TOTLB 518 The Fall of the House of Usher
Today's episode was a suggestion from Doyle. When I first heard him talk about it, I took it much to literal, and thought I'd be watching something about Usher, the singer. Instead, I got something WAY better. We are talking about the Netflix series, The Fall of the House of Usher! "Siblings...
-
TOTLB 517 Pet Sematary Bloodlines
Are you ready for another round of Pet Sematary? Stephen King films have been very hit and miss, and this project is probably no different. You're either going to love it, or you're going to hate it, I don't think there is an in between. "In 1969, a young Jud Crandall dreams of leaving his…

-
TOTLB 515 Saw X
It's been a while since a new Saw movie came out, and even longer since one came out that was pretty well received and had Jigsaw as the primary character. This is a prequel in which we found out a lot about how Jigsaw became Jigsaw, and the motivations behind why. We are talking about Saw X!...
-
TOTLB 514 Gen V
Listen, we enjoy The Boys as much as probably the average viewer. We don't hate it, but we also don't fawn all over it. Sometimes it can be way over the top, even for us, and that says a lot. BUT we had to watch the spin-off just in case this was more our cup of tea. We sat down in order to watch...
-
TOTLB 513 TWD Dead City
I think for the most part, we were all sad when AMC announced that The Walking Dead proper would be coming to an end! Some of those fears were assuaged when it was also announced that there would be a few spin-offs coming, but the more exciting news was who would be starring in those spin-offs....
-
TOTLB 512 Oppenheimer
Summer of 2023 was a pretty crazy time when it came to today's topic! Somehow this movie got intertwined with the Barbie movie, and though I'm not 100% sure why this happened, it was such a fine time for the movie industry! I don't want to say that Barbie made Oppenheimer the film that it was…

TOTLB S141 J. Michael Straczynski
There are many real deep nerd culture projects. These are projects that, while very well liked and guarded in our community, they generally tend to fly under the radar for the general public! Babylon 5 is one of those shows! We had the opportunity to interview J. Michael Straczynski during a…
more -
TOTLB 510 The Flash
Today's episode is a little bit controversial. But only in the sense that it was almost universally disliked once it came out. Controversial because the graphics and CGI that were used, were WAY below what a $200 million movie should be putting out. We are of course talking about The Flash.…
more -
TOTLB 509 Secret Invasion
Whether you love him or hate him, today's episode is pretty much all about Sam Jackson! This TV series may have been better served as a movie? But then again, we think a lot of movies should be TV series. Today', we're going to talk about Secret Invasion! "The core concept of Secret Invasion is...
-
TOTLB 508 Breaking Bad

-
TOTLB 507 Ahsoka
Whether you love it or hate it, the Star Wars universe continues to grow and grow, into the furthest parts of the Star Wars universe. Some of it is cannon, some being canonized, and some being taken out of cannon, and this splits the fandom in a ton of different opinions. Today's topic is no...
-
TOTLB 506 Blue Beetle

-
TOTLB 504 Cronos
Say what you will about whether or not you like any Guillermo Del Toro movie, but you can't take away from the fact that man is a genius at making a film look great. His films just have a different look and feel to them, and that usually means that above all else, they're at least going to be…
more -
TOTLB 503 Last Voyage of the Demeter
There have been many monster movies in the history of movies, but I do think that while there are many Vampire movies in existence, that Vampires are underrepresented. Yes, many of those Vampire movies are very popular, but I do believe that it's a genre of film that is lacking. Today's episode...

-
TOTLB S133 Leva Bates
Sometimes we take a side step out of the "pop culture" world, and into a different world that we are interested in. Now, for all intents and purposes, this still might be pop culture, and like I said, is only a side step away from normality, but today's interview comes from the world of…

-
TOTLB 499 Fast X
Much like anything, all things must come to an end! The end comes for books, tv shows, stories, movies, etc. No matter how good or bad something is, at some point in time it will end. Now, today especially, while we debate how good or bad this film/franchise is, we can't help but reflect on the...

more -
TOTLB 498 FUBAR
Not too many bigger celebrities, especially ones that have struck it big on the big screen, would take the risk on the smaller screen. Not only that, but take the risk on a TV show that happens to fall on the more silly side of the road. That doesn't mean that FUBAR is bad, at all, because silly,...
