Be Kind, Please Rewind!

Santa is run down and not taking care of himself, and this year it catches up with him! Following doctor elf orders, Santa decides to take the year off. Mrs. Claus won't have any of that nonsense, and her meddling gets two forgettable elves and Vixen (the reindeer!) into a world of trouble. We also get introduced to the Miser Brothers, Heat and Snow! Come join us as we endure The Year Without a Sa...

Grab a cocoa and pull up a chair as we revisit the Christmas classic of all Christmas classics, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (originally 1964, but good luck finding that version!). Can an elf become a legal dentist? Do Bumbles eat reindeer? Are all reindeer mean? Find out the answer to all these questions and more!

A lesser-known Rankin/Bass Christmas classic, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold (1981) showcases the sailor with no interpersonal skills, Dinty Doyle, and his adventure with the little leprechaun who harbors a grudge, Blarney Kilakalarney. Together, they face the infamous banshee, Mag the Hag! So grab a pint, sit back and relax, and enjoy a story within a story within a story within a story....

Double trouble! Pull up a chair, sip on your pumpkin spice latte, and enjoy the fun! Today, Adam and Joe examine two Rankin/Bass not-so-classics, Jack O'Lantern and Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters (both 1972). Jack O'Lantern is the unlikely tale of a leprechaun cosplaying as a pumpkin. Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters is an animated soft-reboot using the IP from Mad Monster Party?, which was a stop-motion film relea...

Joe and Adam discuss the greatest non-18+ Halloween movie of all time, Ernest Scared Stupid (1991). The fourth Ernest film to reach the box office, this cult classic and modest hit features Ernest (Jim Varney) and his dog, Rimshot, teaming up with some children to put the proverbial genie back in the bottle, or in this case, the troll back in the tree. For you see, Ernest has unwittingly unleashed...

Lucky you! You're invited to the baddest party ever, the Mad Monster Party?! Boris Frankenstein has invited all the monsters in the great Monster Syndicate to announce his newest WMD (the de-mattering formula) and also his retirement. Fortunately for us, a great dispute takes place regarding his chosen successor, Felix Flanken (the pill popping pharmacist). Join Frankenstein, the Monster and his B...

In The Trial of the Incredible Hulk , David Banner (Hulk!) is awaiting trial for a murder he didn't commit. In his corner is attorney Matt Murdoch (Daredevil!), who is trying to bring down the local mob boss, Wilson Fisk (unnamed Kingpin!). While the movie didn't spawn the Daredevil TV series it was hoping for, the movie did give us a ponytailed Kingpin and Daredevil's black suit!

The most popular Incredible Hulk of all time (played by the combo of Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno) returns in this made-for-television movie broadcast in 1988. In The Incredible Hulk Returns , we find David Bruce Banner working at a research facility. He has recently finished a machine that will cure his curse, but just as he is about to perform the experiment...his old problem-child student breaks...

Before Thomas Jane, Ray Stevenson, and Jon Bernthal, we had the original Punisher, Dolph Lundgren! Due to the financial woes of its studio, The Punisher (1989) was a direct-to-video release in the United States while the rest of the world was blessed to see it on the big screen. A solid film, this movie has garnered a cult following despite being out-of-print and hard to stream (legally). The bigg...

The most inappropriate Captain America of all-time is back, baby! In this forgotten classic, Steve Rogers (Reb Brown) takes on an international kingpin who has unlocked the secret to rapid aging! This tyrant is General Miguel, played by the iconic Christopher Lee. The General may not be kidnapping and eating the townspeople's pets, but he is making sure that they are exposed to nasty chemicals...

Join us as we celebrate the made-for-television movie, Captain America (1979) , starring Reb Brown as our titular hero. Taking a unique spin on Steve Rogers, this version of the character is a carefree, former Marine who enjoys sketching children on the beach. Originally presented as a hopeful television pilot for an ongoing series, this movie failed to capture audiences for various reasons...

Season 4 is here! Examining pre-bankruptcy Marvel movies, Joe and Adam start with the...Howard the Duck! While audiences failed to flock to theaters to watch Beverly's Duckie, the movie quickly became a cult classic and is generally beloved by audiences today.

Joe and Adam wrap up Season 3 with The Horror of Frankenstein (1970) . This film is a black comedy remake of The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and sees Peter Cushing replaced as the title character by Ralph Bates. This would mark the only time that Hammer Films did not have Peter Cushing portraying Baron Frankenstein.

In what could be considered the Ernest Scared Stupid variant of the Franken-multiverse, Adam and Joe revisit Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974) . In this "classic" tale, Peter Cushing's Frankenstein doesn't actually create anything, but he sure does have fun running an asylum with zany characters! Come join us as we enjoy the final appearance of Peter Cushing as Baron...

BONUS EPISODE! Joe and Adam give their thoughts on the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie! This action-packed episode includes their thoughts on the opening sequence, how this film is really a love letter to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and the Fox's MCU, the future of Dogpool, and all the cameos. Also, a Reb Brown reference is made which the audience will not understand. He played Steve Roger...

In the next installment of the Frankenstein saga starring Peter Cushing, the controversial Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) features a unique take on the Monster. Come join the hosts as they lament the hazards of deer, crime, and the pace of this film.

Things are getting weird in the Franken-verse! Contrary to promotional material which seems to promise a different type of scandalous, Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) uses his odd technology to suck the soul out of his young servant and place it into the young man's girlfriend! Come enjoy Frankenstein Created Woman (1967) !

The hammer falls in round 3 of our examination of Frankenstein films (by Hammer Films, of course). In The Evil of Frankenstein (1964) , we find Dr. Frankenstein and his personality-devoid sidekick, Hans, on the run in a new town. As luck would have it, however, they find the original (Universal?) monster with the help of a young lady. Throw a Hypnotist and a Burgermeister into the mix, and we end...

After a 4th of July holiday break, Joe and Adam review The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958) , starring Peter Cushing. This is the 2nd Frankenstein movie brought to us by Hammer Films. They also reflect on what could have been if Hammer imitated The Incredible Hulk television series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, with Cushing playing the role of the walking man...

It's Hammer Time! Season 3 kicks off with an in-depth look at Hammer Films' The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) with Peter Cushing as Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Monster. We also get to watch an odd love triangle between Victor Frankenstein, Professor "Krispy Kreme" Krempe, and love interest Elizabeth! Ultimately, this flick is an all-time classic horror film that has so...

In a stunning conclusion to Season 2, Joe and Adam revisit the epic (forgotten) classic, King Kong Escapes (1967) . Loosely based off the nearly lost Kong cartoon series, The King Kong Show (Rankin/Bass) , this movie is like all the best parts of Saturday morning cartoons. In this film, you have it all: Kong, Mechani-kong, the evil Dr. Who, Madame Piranha, and more! Also, Season 3 starts next week...

We've been lied to our entire lives. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) is not a bad movie. At least if you watch the Japanese version of the film. It is actually just the Universal-distributed Americanized version that is so very bad. Having uncovered this gem of a film, Joe and Adam discuss the differences between the movies and lament having lived their entire lives not realizing the truth.

The third film in RKO's unofficial trilogy, Mighty Joe Young was a film ahead of its time. In this episode, Joe (the podcaster, not the actor from this film) and Adam discuss the underrated Mighty Joe Young and the spectacular special effects from Ray Harryhausen.

Overshadowing Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania, Joe and Adam discuss Carl Denham finishing his King Kong story once-and-for-all. At 69 minutes, this rushed sequel picks up the story of Carl Denham dealing with the aftermath of King Kong's destruction.

Season Two begins! Joe and Adam go old school with an all-time classic, King Kong (1933). Did Beauty kill the Beast? Or was it really Carl Denham?
