Episode 54 ~ Amanda & the Alien (1995)



I'm not even sure how to talk about this weird example of a movie. Originally a TV flick, it has a bit of an infamous reputation, especially in regards to how 1995 it is. All the tropes are there, good and bad, and it makes this one a strange one to watch today.

Though not quite as bonkers as Tammy and the T. Rex, it's definitely of that same era. Certainly not for younger audiences, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its charms. One just might disagree that they are charms to begin with . . .

Episode 53 ~ Short Circuit (1986)



We finally did it. After years of digging through the more obscure pictures to float about the entertainment landscape, we finally hit on one we somehow avoided. We didn't avoid it for any real reason, it just slid through the cracks.

Today we cover 1986's Short Circuit and discover just how alive Johnny 5 really is. (And we learn the famous quote is not even from this movie!)

Have yourself a Happy Easter and we will see you next week!

Episode 52 ~ The Skateboard Kid 2 (1994)



Yes, there's a sequel. Yes, we covered it. Yes, it's worse.

Find out just what we were thinking in today's episode to our least listened to episode by far! No joke, I did not know these movies were this disliked when I chose to watch them. Oh well, enjoy this discussion of a movie everyone else has forgotten.

Episode 51 ~ Top Secret! (1984)



A rarity for us! We cover one of the lesser known parody movies from the most well know parody movie creators of the 20th century. We also discover what makes these movies so much better than the ones that would come later.

On top of it, this is the first starring role of one Val Kilmer (RIP!) and what a turn he makes. All in all, there's nothing quite like Top Secret! and we're going to talk about just why that is in today's episode! It holds up really well, despite the nature of what it is.
