Episode 131 ~ Child's Play (1988)

Time for spooky season!

This month we've decided to pick one series to focus on throughout the month of October, with a different surprise for Halloween itself. We decided on a series we've yet to cover: Child's Play starring the infamous living doll Chucky!

It's also quite a surprise of a movie, managing to remain tense and even darkly funny at times, while remember what made genre classics like the original Halloween and Nightmare On Elm Street work where so many others did not.

Find out why we're starting this month with a bang with 1988's Child's Play!

Episode 130 ~ The Dirt Bike Kid (1986)

The magic dirt bike movie probably needs introduction. Starring the main kid from A Christmas Story, and with some involvement by Roger Corman, here you get a bizarre adventure of a boy and his dirt bike modeled after Jack and the Beanstalk.

Yes, it's as weird as it sounds. How weird? Check out today's episode!

Episode 129 ~ Bingo (1991)

If you're above a certain age, you certainly remember the above poster in every video store at one point. This was the age of the wacky animal movie, after all. However, what is 1991's Bingo actually about? Certainly it must be something.

Turns out it is definitely something, though maybe not what one might figure. It's a wacky anime movie, but not quite what you'd expect. Find out how that is in today's episode!

Episode 128 ~ The Sheep Detectives (2026)

Another modern movie!

This one is a surprise. Part mystery, part family film, part religious allegory and musing on the boundary between life and death, there is more to this movie than you might think on first glance. It uses the framework to tell a surprisingly unique story that is a joy to watch with an ending that is well worth the journey to get there.

Find out just why we liked 2026's The Sheep Detectives so much by partaking in today's episode! It's a winner.

Episode 127 ~ Mouse Hunt (1997)

This week we get really obscure (or do we?) with one of the last slapstick comedies of the 20th century, 1997's Mouse Hunt! It's zany, over the top, and weird, but oddly not as dated as one might think despite the time it came out in. That said, it still holds up quite well.

Find out just why we enjoyed it, in today's episode! And why JD wishes he could have seen more Catzilla.

Episode 126 ~ North (1994)

It's been a while, but we finally have a candidate for worst movie we've ever watched on Cannon Cruisers! 1994's North is up there with Bolero as bottom of the barrel. This film has all kinds of talent involved and none of it works on any level.

You're going to have to watch today's episode to find out why, because you won't believe it otherwise. This is one of the biggest flops in cinematic history in how it did much damage to a director that was once highly acclaimed. Few movies can make that claim, but few movies are also this legitimately terrible.
