Episode 62 ~ Trancers II (1991)

Welcome to our new sequel special! For the summer we're going to be spending our time looking at the sequels to movies we've already covered before over the years! This week we start with long-awaited follow-up to fan-favorite Trancers!

You might figure this low budget actioner would stumble after years in production hell, but that is not quite the case. Check out today's episode to understand just why that might be. It's as wild and out there as you'd hope!

Episode 61 ~ Gorgo (1961)

One of the most influential monster movies on ironic hipsters, Gorgo is probably the oldest movie we've covered, and also one of the shortest. It is also one of the most boring and predictable movies with little to recommend it outside of irony and curiosity.

How does one make a Godzilla style film so dull with little to recommend? Turns out there is a lot! Tune into this week's episode to learn why that is.

Episode 60 ~ Razorback (1984)

It's the shark movie, but in the outback and it's a monster pig! You might think that's all there is to 1984's Razorback, made before the director would go on to make Highlander, but you would be dead wrong. The entire movie is a feast for the eyes and ears.

While not the most exciting plot in the history of cinema, Razorback excels in every other area. Find out just what makes it stand out in today's episode!

Episode 59 ~ Lieutenant Jangles (2017)

We're still in the future with this episode. Taking another swerve, we cover this Aussie sendup/tribute to 1980s action movies and all the madness they contained. This one doesn't always land, but it does have a breeziness to it that modern action (and comedy) films seem to lack. That said, it still comes recommended.

Just be ready for the toilet humor!

Episode 58 ~ Turbo Kid (2015)

Time for a flick we've wanted to cover for awhile but never got around to. A retro future look from an era that never was, 2015's Turbo Kid also feels like a movie that should have been made back in the day but never was. It's a movie very much out of time.

And yet it works in a way a lot of these sorts of movies don't. It understands what works about those old movies and brings it forward into a modern mindset that feels natural. As a result, it becomes its own thing, and what a thing it is. Check out today's episode to learn why that might be!

Episode 57 ~ Real Genius (1985)

Now here is a real blast to the past! Val Kilmer's first starring role, and a comedy of the like we don't cover much made this an obvious choice to cover. All that said, does this hold up as much as you remember?

You might be surprised! Val Kilmer was an absolute treat even this far back. Check out today's to learn why that just might be!
