Over-the-top action B-movies occupy a unique space in the mid 80's - and in our hearts! With the advent of VHS, video stores and cable channels, kids were introduced to cheaper movies that added two scoops of their own exploitation formula: blood, explosions and…gasp…nudity! In this episode, we...

Ep 07: Athazagoraphobia pt 2 - PLANET TERROR
The world punched a gift horse in the mouth when Quentin Tarantino's and Robert Rodriguez's double-feature release of GRINDHOUSE sadly flopped at the box office in 2007. But it really was a gift to cinema fans since the release was just as much about the theatrical experience as it was about the...

We face our fears as we examine Frank Marshall's "Arachnophobia" - eek! But what does athazagoraphobia mean? It's the fear of being forgotten! We jabber on about how not-talked-about-films can still matter. Along the way, we throw in the fear of pooping in public, past fears of dying before the...

The loving deconstruction of genres continues with Rian Johnson's hardboiled high-school booster shot of a debut, "Brick."

What does it take to "reinvent" yourself to find the job that makes you fulfilled? That's the question I asked three ex-colleagues from my nine-season run on the TV series, "Suits." I interview composer Christopher Tyng, editor Peter Forslund, and the main man himself - creator, writer…

Ep 04: Re-injecting The Genre pt 1 - RANGO
Can it be that Gore Verbinski's "Rango" is Johnny Depp's best film? That's the text Hollywood Nate received one day back in 2011 from And It's Me, Joel and we put it to the test here. This episode discusses how "Rango" pumped some much-needed blood back into Westerns with its unique blend of…

Ep 03: LoFi-SciFi pt 2 - KRULL
As we set out to do battle with Peter Yates's "Krull," we examine the Arthurian legend of Excalibur and how both "Krull" and "The Last Starfighter" rely on setting up their stories with their own versions of this myth.

In 2020, my 64 year old Russian-born step-mother-in-law, Valentina, had been an American citizen for 15 years, but she didn't have any idea what a drive-in was. And since the only way to watch movies with an audience during the pandemic was at the drive-in, my family and I decided to take…
