Emerald City Video

Russ, Craig, and Chris broadcast from Vancouver, BC, where they're currently visiting the set of Riverdale!

Avengers: Endgame is here, and we're gonna talk about it. Russ and Zach break down the latest blockbuster in the Marvel canon, in both a spoilery and non-spoilery way -- although even the non-spoiler section has one arguably minor thing spoiled almost immediately. So maybe listen to this either after you've seen the movie or if you don't car emuch about spoilers? You can find us (and a number of o...

Hello, and welcome to the Emerald City Video Podcast. Today, we’re bringing in a very special episode of the show, featuring Employee Recommendations. This is something we have done before, usually when one person wants to spotlight a particular movie. This time around, we’re instead doing it on behalf of a…well, we’ll call her a video store customer. On her Instagram story the other day, an acqua...

Not content to publish just one horror-themed episode on Halloween ( check that one out here ), Russ edited down an interview he recently did with Stan Against Evil creator Dana Gould to present to fans as a gift on this spookiest of holidays.

To celebrate Halloween on the New Release Wall, Russ and Zach look at the brand new streaming release President Evil.
