167 - Casper [1995]

Once movie producers see something succeed, they will try to repeat that success over and over again.

Hot on the heels of Adams Family, producers said - lets pull more intellectual property from the past and resusitate it. Granted, it tooke them 4 years - but at least did something alright. Only to follow this effort up with slop/cash grabs.

Anyway - join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they relive some childhood trauma/excitement through the 1995 movie Casper.

Not to mention - tangent for a good portion of the recording.

166 - Death Becomes Her [1992]

There was a time when Holywood didn't depend on CG to do nearly everything. They used it to spice up the things that practical effects could do.

Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they cross shovels over the 1992 comedy, Death Becomes Her.

165 - Ghostbusters 2 [1989]

Spooky season is here, and we came back to the original Ghostbusters bucket to bring some fun to the season, not just scares.
For some, this film wasn't what people expected/wanted out of a sequel - for others, it was a fun movie in the universe of Ghostbusters.

Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan, toss aside structure to bring you a flow of thought on the goofy film, Ghostbusters 2. Then, determine if it still holds up.
So, grab your painting of Vigo the Carpathian and join us for a gab about the film.

164 - Commando [1985]

First there was man. Then there needed to be muscle man. Then there needed to be manly muscle men. Finally, man's ultimate form came... Manly Muscle Men with GUNS.
Peak man-ness comes to the screen with the pinnacle of weak story and non-sense violence in the film Commando. Relive the childhood play of a banding toy soldiers together and making gun/grenade/rocket launcher sounds with your mouth as one man, John Matrix, breaks laws numerous laws he will never have to account for to save his daughter from a tubby guy in fake chainmail on an island that apparently actually exists of the south Californian shores (not Catalina Island).

Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they work through their steel drum thoughts on Commando.

163 - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace [1987]

Finishing Christoper Reeve's Superman series with the fourth film in the overall series.
With the return of Lex Luthor and the introduction of ... Nuclear Man? Or Press-on Nails Man? Scratch Man? Not to mention the use of an overtly 80s punk nephew. This installment tried to capture imagination with such a low budget it couldn't live up to the earlier films

Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they put to rest the 80's Superman series and determine if it still holds up.

162 - Superman 3 [1983]

The episode that brings you to the 3/4 point of the Christopher Reeve's Superman series.
We have had highs, and lows... and now... we have computer women with zap vision.

join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they scrape the bottom of the butter bucket that is the film Superman 3.

161 - EXTRA - Andor, Season 1 [2022]

With a delay in our normal episodes, and being full of opinions and thoughts on freshly watching the show Andor in 2025 - here we are.

This is not the most articulate review of the show, but more of a flow of consciousness.
If you want a more through review - there are many of them out there.

160 - Superman 2 [1981]

When you turn the world around with a good super hero movie, what do you do?

Make a worse super hero movie with the same great actors!

Join Joe, Ken, Andrew, and Dan as they recap what the heck is happening in the follow-up to our introduction to Christopher Reeve and the 80's Superman! (the best Superman)

159 - Superman: The Movie [1978]

Missiles will set off major earthquakes, or not!

Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan relive the youthful days of the best Superman to grace the silver screen.
Then, to determine if the films still hold up.
