A Bit of the Ultraviolence

Send us Fan Mail Presented for your enjoyment is our second longest episode to date, the 2004 Denzel Washington movie Man On Fire, a remake of the 1987 movie of the same name starring Scott Glenn that wasn't quite as good but has the same basic premise.  We cover this one pretty extensively which is deserving since this is a phenomenal movie although it was critically panned, the cast is amaz...

Send us Fan Mail Well we had an open slot for a horror comedy, so I figured this would be a good chance to slide in Idle Hands from 1999, a movie that I've always loved even though truth be told it is objectively not super great, but what it lacks in traditional movie quality it makes up for in fun.  The premise is ridiculous, the physics are questionable at best, but you can't not have...

Send us Fan Mail Here we come to the end of the Cornetto Trilogy, The World's End, literally and figuratively.  This is a great movie that's done in the tradition of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers with a bit of a modern twist, maybe not quite as strong as the first two of the trilogy but certainly very strong in it's own right.  See if you agree with our take and, as always, enjoy th...

Send us Fan Mail Moving along in the Cornetto Trilogy brings us to Hot Fuzz, the hilarious and wildly effective action comedy.  Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg again flew their writing muscle and penchant for stylized filming.  Be prepared to be hit in the face with every action cliche to ever exist and be sure to watch the movie at least 4 or 5 times to fully absorb all the nuance and understated bit...

Send us Fan Mail Easily one of my favorite movies of all time, we start off our series on the Cornetto Trilogy where it began with Shaun of the Dead.  A beautifully written and executed movie, it does maybe the best job I've ever seen at striking a perfect balance between comedy and horror and adding in some surprisingly heavy emotional content.  This movie definitely warrants multiple viewin...

Send us Fan Mail Take a journey with is into the dystopian futuristic world of overt satire and comical violence that is the Roger Corman cult classic Death Race 2000, the low budget film that has influenced many a movie and probably video game since.  Sure it is a cheesy, campy, low budget 70's film but it's so much more than that at the same time, with surprisingly not bad casting and...

Send us Fan Mail The second half of our Carmageddon feature brings us to the 2008 Jason Statham action romp Death Race, quite a bit darker and more serious than it's predecessor but still delivered with a bit of a wink this is a highly enjoyable, albeit outlandish, action film with lots of great stunts, cars, guns, explosions, inventive deaths and of course the standard Statham ruggedness tha...

Send us Fan Mail Well we covered the original, time to dive into the remake.  There isn't much that needs to be said about this film.  It's a late 2000's remake of a late 1980's horror film, which is to say it's about what you'd expect but maybe slightly better.  The cast is great, the soundtrack kicks fuckin ass (kudos if you get that reference), join us as we dive i...

Send us Fan Mail Join us as we take a journey into the world of cheesy 80's cliche, exaggerated characters, and mysteriously disappearing lipstick, paired with kick ass music and extremely well done cinematography.   We're talking of course about the 80's horror movie Night of the Demons, if you haven't seen it give it a go and then listen to our take on the low budget horror c...

Send us Fan Mail We wrap up the Stallone-A-Palooza series with a deep look at the 1989 buddy cop movie Tango & Cash, a fairly ridiculous 80's action movie that's heavy on the nostalgia factor for us 80's kids.  Not a phenomenal movie in the traditional sense but still it's a lot of fun and there is some great ridiculous action and of course Teri Hatcher looking amazing.

Send us Fan Mail Well we've come to the last in the line of the Rambo Movies, 2019's Rambo: Last Blood, a highly underrated movie that was largely panned, we feel this is a proper send off to the franchise and really a pretty well done movie overall.  It's properly brutal and surprisingly emotional, if you haven't seen it give it a go.

Send us Fan Mail Up next in our Rambo series is the movie simply titled Rambo, which sounds like it should be the first movie of the series but is actually the fourth, and is probably the most brutally violent as well, which is part of the reason that we like it so much.

Send us Fan Mail Moving on with our Rambo series we have Rambo 3, easily the most ridiculous movie of the series chock full of prime 80's action trope.  This time Rambo defeats the Russians again but in Afghanistan now.  Join us as we walk through the movie and deep dive all the peak Stallone glory.

Send us Fan Mail Well we are starting an adventure into deep diving the Rambo series after like 12 straight horror episodes.  First up of course is the original, First Blood where we get introduced to John Rambo, the cultural phenomenon that started out as an unlikely hero and quickly got propelled to basically the most recognizable action name ever.  Check out our take on this classic action movi...

Send us Fan Mail Well this is the movie that launches Rambo into total ridiculousness, so follow us on our journey to deep dive the Rambo series and talk about all the sorts of nonsense that makes up this ridiculous 80s action movie.

Send us Fan Mail It's a Halloween bonus episode, since the Halloween series of movies has 11 movies and we do these in pairs we decided to cover the 2007 semi-cult classic Trick 'R Treat.  This is a really well done horror anthology movie that we like a lot, really well done really good cast, if you haven't seen it check it out.

Send us Fan Mail Well this is our final installment in our deep dive of the Halloween series of movies a little belated but better late than never.  We end the series with Rob Zombie's Halloween 2, which was not received very well when it was released, and probably still is not received well but it does have some redeeming qualities in our opinion, take a listen and see what you think.

Send us Fan Mail The Halloween extravaganza is winding down, this is the penultimate Michael Myers movie that we have to discuss, and wow is it good.  If you haven't seen this one please watch it before you listen to our dumb asses talk about it because it's.............it's really fuckin good (High Fidelity reference here for you sharp minded movie geeks).  Anyway I love this movie...

Send us Fan Mail Well unfortunately our Halloween extravaganza leads us here, to Halloween Resurrection, what can we really say about this movie that hasn't already been said?  Well we'll try to say some new things, but the key takeaway is that it sucks, so if you've never seen it maybe give it a miss, but still listen to us shit all over it.

Send us Fan Mail Well we've come to the last Halloween movie before the timelines go all wonky, for better or worse, Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers.  Technically we go through the theatrical cut but we also explain the differences from the original producers cut, which is wildly different and worth a watch, and we also get to talk about the feature film debut of Paul Rudd, and we go sup...

Send us Fan Mail In a bold move the next installment of the Halloween franchise, Halloween H20, completely disregards the events of 4, 5 and 6 and presents itself as a direct sequel to Halloween Part 2, which I'm not mad about that whole story line had become really convoluted.  We also see the return of Jamie Lee Curtis which is a nice treat, as well as the introduction of Josh Hartnett.  A...

Send us Fan Mail Continuing on in our deep dive of all of Halloween we come upon the movie that brought Michael Myers back into the fold, and a movie that we really like a lot as it throws back to a lot of the themes that made the original so good, so walk with us through our breakdown of Halloween 4 the Return of Michael Myers.

Send us Fan Mail Well, it's unclear why this movie is subtitled the revenge of Michael Myers, he doesn't seem to get revenge at all, and in fact the whole movie is a mess, to be honest we dump all over this movie cause it really is not good, and it's a disappointing follow up to part 4, but we have a good time ripping it apart anyway.

Send us Fan Mail Rolling into part 3 of our 6 week Halloween extravaganza we break into the sequel that set the tone for (most of) the other sequels, 1981's Halloween 2.  While arguably not nearly as good as the original we still have a lot of fun talking about the bits we really like and putting a mild shit on some of the bits we don't, and just having a good time with it all around.

Send us Fan Mail Well this movie can certainly be polarizing, released to widespread critical and audience disdain but gaining in popularity over the decades to come Halloween 3: Season of the Witch almost defines the term cult classic.  Sure there's no Michael Myers, but there are creepy androids and creepy child killing masks, so we enjoy it for the most part.  If you watched this movie onc...
