Episode 160 - Season 08 Wrap-Up! [Part Two]

 

Welcome to the second half of our long season ending episode! In this one we cover near 25 films. It was a very, very long season as we went through so many movies, so stick around for the back half of this lineup to see what you might have missed.

This is an extra stuffed episode, so please enjoy. After this we will be doing a new special series to prepare for out big finale to come. Thank you for sticking around so long and we will see you next week for more movies!

Cannon Cruisers is not quite done yet!

Episode 159 - Season 08 Wrap-Up! [Part One]

That's write, this hour long episode is only part one in our big season finale for Cannon! Since we covered over 50(!) movies in this season alone, we decided to split this episode in half. Next week you will be able to hear the rest of our conversation as we delve into the best and worst Cannon movies in this extra long never-ending season!

I promise the episode is nowhere near as endless as the season itself was. No, we had a pretty good time talking. We covered just about everything we could over these fifty films and as brief a coversation as possible.

Check out today's episode to see just how it went!

Non-Cannon ~ Episode 116 - Season 08 Wrap-Up!

We've finally made it to the end of this incredibly long eighth season of Cannon Cruisers! Instead of our usual Cannon movie round up, we decided to first start with our Non-Cannon episodes. Those (yes, it's more than one) will be saved for next week. In this episode the two of us cover 30+ Non-Cannon movies and talk for an hour!

Hope you're ready to settle in. It's a long one!

Non-Cannon ~ Episode 115 - Cyborg Cop II (1994)

Here it is, folks: the final Sam Firstenberg action movie. Released in 1994, after Cannon's destruction, it was also the last movie in this vein that our Cannon staple would make, mostly sticking to dramas and the like for the few films remaining after this. That said, boy did he go out with a bang on this one!

Cyborg Cop II is kind of infamous in some circles as being over the top and explosive, but you haven't seen anything until you actually watch it. This one might not reach the heights of his Cannon Films peak, but it comes close at times. Find out how in today's episode, our last movie of the season!

Episode 158 - Schizoid (1980) [Revisited]

We finally made it! This is the final normal episode of Cannon Cruisers. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to cover the very first movie we talked about once more. That's right, it's time for Schizoid again!

That said, there isn't much else to add. The movie is still kind of a mess and doesn't really hold up. Check out the episode to see why that might be the case!

Episode 157 - Robotech: The Movie (1986)

Here is a rarity for the Cannon Cruisers. For the first time we cover an animated movie, since it is also the one and only time Cannon itself released one. Not only that, but it is an entry in the infamous 1980s franchise Robotech, and one that has been buried even by those who made it. The producers of Robotech, Harmony Gold, have even long since left this one to obscurity. A rarity for them.

Ostensibly an old lost version of the anime OVA Megazone 23 Part I, Robotech: The Movie has quite the story behind its production and general existence. It's also not quite what you might expect from with Cannon Films or Harmony Gold.

It's quite a strange little picture regardless. See today's episode to find out just why that is the case.

Episode 156 - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

It's been awhile, but we finally made it here! This one has been a long time coming, but today we took a look at the infamous fourth Superman movie. Is it really as bad as they say, or is it a hidden gem? Well, there is more to it than all that. Check out the episode to see how it shakes out.

On the other hand, perhaps it does deserve its infamy. You'll see what I mean. there is a reason it has that reputation it has.
