Episode 34 ~ Blast (1997)

Finally we return to the weird world of Albert Pyun! And with a surprisingly fun Die Hard riff on top of it. This one doesn't have a lot of what you might think of from Pyun, in fact it even feels a lot like a Cannon Film though not one he ever made for them. You can take that is a negative or positive if you want to.

That said, it's also surprisingly competent in ways you might not expect. Check out how in today's episode!

Episode 33 ~ The Primevals (2023)

Here's another surprise! We cover another movie that was in production limbo for decades before finally getting completed and released. And what's more, this one was also well worth the wait. It's The Primevals, a lost world adventure!

A masterclass of practical effects, throwback 90s acting and plotting, and an even further retro styling of classic monster movies from the early days of cinema, this one is not quite what you might be expecting. It certainly wasn't what we were expecting! Check out the full episode to learn more about the craziness behind the production.

There isn't really anything like The Primevals now or when it was meant to out and, oddly enough, it has made this age even better. Be sure to check it out if you are a practical effects nut and or a lover of adventure movies. You will have a blast.

Episode 32 ~ Here For Blood (2022)

And now for something you might not expect--we finally cover a completely modern movie! In this low budget indie movie, mayhem abounds in a bit of a throwback to an older style of horror story that you just don't get too much anymore. Oh yeah, and plenty of practical effects to go around! That's always great to see.

However, it's not quite perfect. There's more to a successful chiller than throwbacks. Check out why that might be in today's episode!

Episode 31 ~ Gymkata (1985)

Gymkata! What else to say other than that?

To be frank, you either know what this is, or you don't. If you do then you know why this movie works so well. If not, then you might be excited to learn that you've missed out on an 80s action adventure movie based around gymnastics, undead cities, death races, ninjas, and daring danger at every turn. They not only don't make them like this anymore, it was already uncommon by the time it was actually made.

That said, it's not perfect. Find out why in today's episode!
