Episode 85 ~ Demolition Highway (1996)

This time we decided to go back to basics: real low budget action. We're talking almost no budget and almost no idea what to do with what you have. Time to head back to 1996 where action movies were on the way out. There is some nostalgia here.

Despite all that this is still one weird misfire of a movie that gets by entirely on its charm and nothing else. If that's not enough for you, maybe reconsider. Check in on this episode to see just what madness the infamous Donald Farmer was planning.

Episode 84 ~ Nightmare at Noon (1988)

This week we come back with a curveball! In this weird western, horror, and action, hybrid, we get cult favorite Nico Mastorakis' most infamous movie, Nightmare at Noon from 1988! Starring three b-movie titans in Wings Hauser, George Kennedy, and Bo Hopkins, there isn't quite another movie like this out there.

Of course it does have its warts, so be sure to check out today's episode to see what they are! I promise you, there is nothing quite like this movie.

Episode 83 ~ D.A.R.Y.L. (1985)

Another curveball! This week we took a turn into the high concept family films from the 1980s with the oft-forgotten D.A.R.Y.L. from 1985. And make no mistake, it's not quite what you expect from this sort of movie!

That said, there are still some well-worn tropes and ideas you might or might not enjoy. Check out today's episode to see what works!

Episode 82 ~ Wolfcop (2014)

Finally out of horror season and we're back with . . . a horror movie? This crowdfunded favorite from a decade ago hasn't been discussed recently, so we're going to do it now.

Is this good as horror and comedy or does it only get one right, or perhaps neither? Check out the new episode to discover if it holds up!

Halloween Spectacular VIII! (Episode 81)

Welcome back to our eighth Halloween Special since starting Cannon Cruisers! This year we decided on a little bit of a curveball (as we frequently do) and chose a pair of movies you might not expect from us.

This week we covered Dan Curtis' Trilogy of Terror duology! Separated by an era of horror, these two films have a lot of contrast with each other. Also, despite airing on television instead of the theater, there is quite a lot of horror on screen.

Unlike the V/H/S movies we covered, these anthologies are very different, even from each other. Find out how that is in today's special episode!

That's it for this week. Have yourself a great Halloween and All Saints' Day, and we will see you soon!

Episode 80 ~ V/H/S/Halloween (2025)

The most recent movie we've ever covered relative to episode recording, the newest instalment in the V/H/S franchise was not even a week old when this episode was made. We decided to strike when the iron was hot and record at the same time this one released, so you almost certainly have not actually seen this one before!

That said, it's a good, despite some weird tonal issues. Find out how dark this one can get in today's episode!

Episode 79 ~ V/H/S/Beyond (2024)

Jumping ahead in space and time, we decided to check out one of the more recent entries in the V/H/S franchise, Beyond! This one has a single thematic link between all of its shorts that culminate in a fantastic bit of weird at the end.

This one also turned out to be one of the best entries we've watched so far! Check out how that might be the case in this episode!
