Apocalypse Video

Captain’s Log: Stardate 43807.4 After the successful trial episode depicted in “Measure of a Man”, the Apocalypse Video Trek Cast is now into season 3 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the season which many consider the peak of Captain Picard and company’s adventures on television. And while I’m confident that my crew will enjoy the mid series classics contained herein, I am slightly worried that...

Saturday Morning Apocalypse concludes it's look back at the Nickelodeon classic, Rugrats, as we discuss the first appearance of the man, the myth, the legend...Dr. Lipschitz -- in "A Visit From Lipschitz" . We'll also take some LSD and get a ticket on our way to work as we do "What The Big People Do". I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we discuss the best new age baby taming techniques are fel...

Saturday Morning Apocalypse is back! And this time we’re talking about one of the OG Nick Toons, Rugrats!  I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we pull up our diapers and talk big-people stuff are fellow babies and Reptar fanboys Mike, Ryan, and Ruler of the Wasteland, Immortan Hoof (aka: Nick). Listen as we discuss our repressed memories of cleaning theater auditoriums after Finding Nemo showin...

Captain’s Log: Stardate 42523.7 With our first Trek-Cast behind us, we leave behind the spotty at best episodes of The Next Generation's  first season and venture into the more satisfying episodes of season two with the critically acclaimed  "Measure of a Man" , in which Captain Picard represents Data in a hearing that will not only determine whether or not he is property of the Federation, but a...

As a business owner, I cannot stress this enough, folks -- SCREEN YOUR EMPLOYEES! Lest you fall victim to weirdos and possible psychopaths in your employ...such as the case in today’s terrifying episode of Apocalypse Video! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow cinephiles and “good sons”, Ryan and Mike ( the latter of which is totally not a psychopath, by the way. Don’t be silly...ahem. )...

What’s that you say? You want...chocolate? Chocolate?!?! CHOCOLAAAATE!!! Well, don’t fret, because Saturday Morning Apocalypse is back with the conclusion to our look at the Nickelodeon icon, Spongebob Squarepants . And what better episode for all you sweet-tooth’s out there than the Season 3 classic: Chocolate With Nuts (also: Mermaid and Barnacle Boy V ). I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are...

Are you ready listeners?! I can’t hearrrrr you! That’s right, Saturday Morning Apocalypse is back! And this time we’re finally taking a long overdue journey into the world of Nickelodeon with perhaps the most popular icon to come from the orange slime empire: Spongebob Squarepants! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we bust out our hydrodynamic spatulas are fellow tooniphiles Ryan, Mike, and l...

Captain’s Log: Stardate 41153.7 After a long and arduous process of getting human skin grafted to my new hand, I have returned to the store to find everything is in perfect working order. Perhaps... too perfect. To my horror, I have discovered that Michael, the man I left in charge and hoped to one day promote to First Officer, has not only disobeyed my last command, but he has become something of...

Well, we’ve finally come to the end of our look at Batman: The Animated Series , and what better way to go out than by discussing an episode that is essentially a collection of third acts. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we decide what is a better murder weapon, a poison dipped bird beak or a really big rock, are fellow cartoon-philes Mike, Ryan, and last, but certainly not least, Ruler of...

Acting Managers Log, Stardate ...unknown ( time’s weird in the Wasteland ). Dave has been gone for a month and I'm already feeling...uneasy. I’ll admit, the burden of his duties has taken me off guard. I had assumed that Dave was a lazy, do-nothing leader who relegated all of the grunt work to myself. Alas, I have found that Dave’s duties include hobnobbing with the Barons of Bartertown, making su...

Well, it only took about a dozen episodes, but I am thankful to say that at long last Immortan Hoof and myself are finally joined by Apocalypse Video mainstays, Mike and Ryan, as we continue our look back at the greatest superhero cartoon ever made: Batman - The Animated Series . Listen as we discuss the odd inclusion of a sass talking program in the Batwing; Batman seemingly breaks his “no kill”...

Now back to Saturday Morning Apocalypse! On our last episode, we talked about how Simon Trent (aka The Gray Ghost) may or may not have burned down an entire studio in retaliation for his T.V. show getting cancelled. Now, we move on to another actor whose criminal exploits are far less alleged; Matt Hagan, aka Clayface. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me again as we stick our hands in the mud ( so...

Happy New Year, wastelanders! I hope your HBO Max subscription is still active, because we’re kicking off the year right by bringing you the first in what will be a four part series in our Saturday Morning Apocalypse lineup - at long last, we’re finally tackling what may be the pinnacle of kids cartoons: Batman - The Animated Series . I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we switch the atomic bat...

Why hello, Wastelanders! This is Mike, your friendly shift leader ( now acting manager ) of Apocalypse Video. You might be wondering why I’m the one writing the episode synopsis this week, and not Dave. Well, due to an incident last week that resulted in Dave getting a gorilla hand grafted to his arm ( see our episode on BMX Bandits ), he has left me in charge of the store while he travels to the...

When I say “Australian Cinema”, the first thing you probably think of is either Mad Max or Crocodile Dundee . While it’s true, these two characters no doubt are Australia’s biggest contributions to pop culture, there is one little film from the 1980s that’s often overlooked, yet was at the forefront of a burgeoning movement that was about to blow up and create an entirely new world of extreme spor...

Well, we’ve finally come to the end of our Street Sharks vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles debate with the finale to the Turtles pilot: Shredder and Splintered. Which show about ex- treeeme mutant teenagers/college students will reign supreme and which one will Dave declare the winner? The answer may (not) surprise you! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we say goodbye ( for now… ) to the heroes...

Well, it took four episodes, but we’re finally here - the episode of the Turtles that depending on your capacity for wackiness, may be the one that jumped the (street) shark: “Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X”.  I’m your host, Dave, and joining me again is Ruler of the Wasteland and Patron of the Animated Arts, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss the Neutrinos: Dimension X’s version of peace...

Two times before, you have felt the terror...known the madness...lived the horror...but THIS is the pod you've been screaming for… I’m your host, Dave, and joining me again as another Friday the 13th descends upon us are fellow cinephiles and dead fucks Ryan and Mike. Listen as we discuss the awkward dance-gyrations that changed the face of Horror forever; Corey Feldman uses his child psychology d...

Now that the craziness of Halloween is behind us ( see our Resident Evil episode ), I, for one, couldn’t be more pleased to return to the totally bodacious world of everyone’s favorite heroes in a halfshell. I’m your host, Dave, and with me again as we rejoin the Turtles in the search for the Technodrome is Ruler of the Wasteland and Patron of the Animated Arts, Immortan Hoof Listen as we discuss...

Happy Halloween, everybody! I wish I had better news for everyone out there, but sadly, things at Apocalypse Video are looking pretty grim. Apparently, Immortan Hoof has covertly installed an override in Chad’s system that cuts the power and puts the store on full Lockdown mode when a cartoon is viewed without the Hoof in attendance. Unfortunately for us, that means we’re now stuck in the store wh...

If there’s one thing we strive above all else to do at Apocalypse Video, it’s to serve the Wasteland in all of it's cinematic needs, be it motion picture education, VCR head cleaning, or in some instances, the settling of bets. And it’s with that latter service in mind that we come to the problem presented today by former employee of the store, Cody, and his ptera-person wife, Ja-nah. It appears J...

We’ve got the Turtles, now we enter...the shredder. After a whole episode of build up for the Turtles’ arch nemesis, Shredder is finally here in all of his glory. Unfortunately, he’s playing second fiddle to an alien from Dimension X. I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as always is Ruler of the Wasteland and Patron of the Animated Arts, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss the power dynami...

The battle for the title of “Most Awesome Cartoon Series Ever” has begun! We’ve seen the Street Sharks, now we move on to the shellheads themselves, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. One has a long lasting toy line and decades worth of successful tv shows and feature films under its belt, the other has a YouTube video featuring Vin Diesel hawking amped up sock puppets.    Let the battle for cartoo...

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since Mike joined our ranks, replacing a presumed dead Cody Eastlick and rising from the lowly role of Trainee all the way to the esteemed position of Assistant Shift Leader. But alas, Mike cannot simply rest on his laurels -- no, because being that it’s his one year anniversary with the company, he must compete in Slaughterfest (aka: Employee Reviews)...

At long last we have come to the conclusion of the three part Street Sharks pilot. I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we say goodbye to the Sharks is Ruler of the Wasteland, Patron of the Animated Arts, and secret donor to wasteland gene-slammers, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss the questionable tactics of the Street Sharks; we raise our eyebrows as the government seems total...
