Cannon Cruisers GAIDEN ~ Episode 16 - Deathstalker II: Duel of the Titans (1987)

We're back so soon with a sequel! After thinking it over for the better part of a week I decided to watch Deathstalker II, after all. Even though it was made five years later and featured an entirely different cast and crew I wanted to see if it held with the original.

It doesn't really, but that's not exactly a detriment. Instead it turns out to be a movie that shows that wide spread a genre like Sword & Sorcery actually has. What exactly does that mean? You'll have t tune in to find out!

Cannon Cruisers GAIDEN ~ Episode 15 - Deathstalker (1983)

Something a bit different for GAIDEN, I've decided to take time to watch the first Deathstalker movie produced by Roger Corman. We haven't covered much sword and sorcery here on Cannon Cruisers, so that is going to change with this episode! Back in the 1980s Corman did a few co-productions in Argentina, and this is the most popular one. What better time to take a gander at it then now?

Is it a cult favorite for a reason, or is this one over-hyped and undeserving of its praise? Check out the episode above to see.

Cannon Cruisers GAIDEN ~ Episode 14 - Critters 2: The Main Course (1988)

This time I take a look at a sequel to a movie we covered on normal Cannon Cruisers! Since Randy wasn't that enamored with the original I figured I would use the opportunity and watch the sequel on my own for GAIDEN. Was that a good idea? Tune in to this episode of GAIDEN to find out!

We all know the 1980s were filled with Gremlins knock-offs. Not a single one came close to the original when it came to small creature causing havoc horror (except its sequel!), though the original Critters was actually in-development first, and therefore offered a bit more than a cheap wannabe cashing in on its success.

Cannon Cruisers GAIDEN ~ Episode 13 - PM Entertainment Outro

Today we take our last look at our PM Entertainment mini-series in our GAIDEN mini-series. Of course, GAIDEN will be continuing after this, but not our exclusive focus on PM Entertainment. We have to move onto other things eventually, right?

For this one I decided to go out with a bang and cover the two most we known movies PM put out. Thanks to coverage by Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst program, most b-movie fans are well aware of both Hologram Man and The Sweeper, so what better way to end this mini-series as part of our greater sub-series? We're going out big.

First up is 1995's Hologram Man. This is the story of man who becomes immortal, or does he? Finally, we end with 1996's The Sweeper, a movie about a man going off the deep end. Tune in to see full thoughts.
