Static Zone Podcast

"We work hard, so you don't have to?"   The moment you have all been waiting for! We rank every movie we have watched thus far. What's the best one? What's the worst one? Which ones could we watch on repeat? Tune in to find out, and let us know what your list would be or how amazingly "accurate" we are!   The release of this episode is the day before the annual Dreamcast 24-Hour Marathon, to which...

"I know everything there is to know about computers, okay? All the Twitters, I know 'em!"   Ever been to West-by-God-Virginia? You're about to visit! The Static Boyz watch and discuss a southern heist movie that flew under almost everyone's radar. Can Magic Mike and Kylo Ren pull off the crime of the southern century? Do we care? Should you? Find out now!   Don't forget about the upcoming Dreamcas...

"When you woke up today, did you say to yourself, 'I'm gonna talk,' or 'I'm gonna skate!?'" Deception, Southern California, and Doug Funnie cosplay - this movie has it all! Aside from 20 minutes of Nickelodeon 90's TV, we actually discussed the Disney Channel original movie Brink, to close out the X-games movies for the month of July. Did we just decide to get back into aggressive inline? Or maybe...

"Hey, there's my Pizza Hut!"   In a time before skateparks and seatbelts, when 1989 felt more like the 90's than the 90's did, Christian Slater ruled the City of Angels with his buddy, Tony Hawk! Call 9-1-1 because it's time to rip it up in Gleaming the Cube!   If you didn't have a craving for Pizza Hut before this movie, then you better get your phone ready. Christian Slater has to solve a myster...

“There Are No Clean Getaways”   That story of the scorpion and the frog makes a lot more sense now. Especially if the scorpion is a replicant and the frog is... a mob boss? Yes. Hey, we watched Drive starring Ken, I mean Ryan Gosling!   If you've ever played the video game Hotline Miami or wondered what stunt drivers do in their off time then have we got a tale for you! Buckle up, buttercup, becau...

"When I get outta here... think I'm gonna get laid."   Remember when Nu Metal was called Industrial music and we still used flip phones while cruisin' the streets in cars with neons as rad as our frosted tips? Hella good times it's 2002, peeps! And we watched the first Resident Evil movie! Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez kick off the saga that drove Scotty insane while Corey sat back livin'...

"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!" Let's pray Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker don't listen to this episode because man oh man some things did NOT age well in Rush Hour 2. But hey this was a banger of a movie to end Martial Arts May... in June! Strap in for all the high kicks and hot licks? Do YOU understand the words that are comin' out of our mouths?! Believe it or not,...

"I realized then that good guys never win. I want to be bad. I want to be a ruthless killer!"   We are KICKING off Martial Arts May with Kung Fu Hustle. I almost want to end the description there, but no! This non-stop film of gang wars, landlords, and gross bad guys really pulled out all the stops. Kung Pow's CG milk has nothin' on some good ol' eagle-hopping. Right? Next time we are diving into...

"This Ain't No Game!"   You have to "trust the fungus" on this one because we actually enjoyed it. In fact, did Mario beat Sonic to the punch? Maybe he didn't beat him financially, but this film will probably age better than Limp Bizkit jokes and long-winded wedding scenes.   Video game movies get a bad rap, and this movie is totally to blame. That in mind, grab your Reebok-branded stompers, order...

"Crash and burn!" War is outlawed and all political issues are solved through giant robot fights? IT'S THE FUTURE! This week's selection is the inspiration for Pacific Rim and probably Power Rangers - that's right it's Robot Jox! Cowboy hats, well-lit bar "fights," flying cars, and a single hot dog in meat soup. This movie has it all! But both of us signed up for the Bluray waiting list. What are...

"25 Years ago, they arrived from another galaxy. Surprise. They're still here." You ever watch a movie and think, "Is this a classic movie that I just don't understand?... No I think it's actually horrible." Well, let's just say we each thought half of that for this week's choice: Strange Invaders! If small towns could talk then they would probably ask why this movie ever happened. It seems that t...

“I really don’t sell video games, I sell memories. Or your childhood back [to you]." Continuing our discussion of inspirational movies, this week we take a look Not For Resale, the documentary covering retro game stores and the world around them! It's Scotty's turn to cry, but does he?! Did you know he almost opened a game store? This episode easily could have been twice as long, so sit back as th...

“I may not do everything great in my life, but I'm good at this. I manage to touch people's lives with what I do and I want to share this with you.” This month we take a look at movies that have personally inspired us or hit us really hard within an area in which we are passionate. Corey cries about 5 times (eh, maybe twice?) during this episode as we discuss John Favreau's movie, Chef. And for go...

"Put ya weight on it!" Rounding out Black History Month, we double-dipped this week with Dolemite and Dolemite is my Name!  Rudy Ray Moore did more in his lifetime than most people dream of doing, and somehow we fit all that into our little discussion. It becomes real clear real quick that the movie rating system did not exist in the 70s while 2019's interpretation ended with a whole lot of heart...

"It's time for action!" If you're in Detroit you better watch your back, because the cast of Die Hard and Predator are everywhere in this week's choice: Action Jackson! We welcome our first guest: El Charrito (AKA Chris) and are immediately derailed discussing burritos, Steven Seagul's energy drink, and college life! But Carl Weathers quickly pulls us back in with a film filled with studs, stunts,...

"Forget Freddie and Jason. Virgil's the newest nightmare in town!" Has there ever been a stronger love than that between a monobrow and a pair of dinosaur pajamas? We think not, and neither did Rubén Galindo Jr. apparently! Don't Panic has it, all and doesn't explain a single part of it. Buckle up because there are enough montages, alcoholics, and plates of ham to kill a demon. Sorta. Side note: d...

"Rubber baby buggy bumpers" We know, we know, we know. Nothing is going to top Making Contact, but we still had fun with this one. Well one of us did... anyway this week we discuss Last Action Hero! Arnold decided to try to fight Jurassic Park with an overly self-aware action movie chock-full of one-liners, explosions, and Danny Devito as a cat! "THE BAD GUYZ ARE 'N DARE!"   Follow us on our socia...

“Only he can see it. Only he shares its magic. Only he knows the danger.” We are ending 2021 with a bang! A very confused bang of a movie, but holy moly do we have opinions on this crazy film called Making Contact. Have you seen any movie in the 80's? Well then this movie referenced it or stole a scene frame for frame. No episode of the Static Zone has been as passionate as this one, because there...

“Two cops. Glover carries a weapon. Gibson is one. He’s the only L.A. cop registered as a LETHAL WEAPON.” Lethal Weapon may be one of the most by-the-numbers buddy cop film, but this discussion is anything but! Corey and Scotty are back to hash out one of the many Christmas movies that everyone is always bringin' up around the holidays... right?! It's rated R for a reason and we find that out real...

Hey there! It's been a while! (Yep, just like the song) Sorry for the sudden lack of content, but life has suddenly become insane for us. Give a quick listen for the full update. We will return in December with Christmas movies and want you to recommend some on our twitter @StaticZonePod, so we come back with a bang. "See ya on the other side, Ray!"   Follow us on our social platforms or we don't...

“ALIEN was the beginning ... Hell Has Just Been Relocated!” Question: What is black and blue and red all over? You guessed it, Galaxy of Terror! Arguably the most important movie in James Cameron's career, this bloody horror adventure is our choice this week. If you haven't heard of it and are a fan of basically anything James Cameron has done, then you need to see it. Buckle up, because this one...

“It's just a bruise. I must have gotten that from the gator.”   We stray from the older movies this week and kick off October with a semi-horror sci-fi thriller mind-f*ck of a movie: Annihilation! That's right it's the movie no one saw, but everyone needs to! SPOILERS: DO NOT LISTEN IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE.   Follow us on our social platforms or we don't exist! Static...

“From whence you came, you shall remain, until you are, complete again!”   Tenacious D decided to make a movie, and we decided to watch it! But was it a hilarious adventure or a big ol' wet fart? You'll have to tune in to find out! Let the energy of Jables and Kage pull you through this one! ROCK!   Follow us on our social platforms or we don't exist! Static Zone  |  Scott aka "ScottyMoFoSho"  | ...

"Till All Are One." - Optimus Prime   Transformers: The Movie engulfs our conversation this week like Unicron does to so many planets. We had a lot of fun discussing this animated insanity, that somehow was marketed as a "kids movie," at one point. As we said in the episode, if you did not cry during this Transformers movie then you may as well not even bother listening to this episode. OUR CHILDH...

“Hack the Planet!” – Razer and Blade   Do you remember 1995? Corey and Scotty sure do after reliving the movie Hackers. Nothing says 90s like rollerblades, bright colors, floppy disks, and The Prodigy’s music. Angelina Jolie would tell you that anyway, obviously, and if you disagree, well “Mess with the best, die like the rest.” This is only a sampling of the quotes from this insane movie capturin...
