Apocalypse Video

It’s the end of an era as the Apocalypse Video Krypto-Cast tackles the ninth and final installment of the Fleischer produced Superman shorts: Terror on the Midway! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we watch a blatant King Kong rip-off is lord of the wasteland, Immortan Hoof! Listen as we discuss what a great night it is for a murder (...or fire, or something); we stare into the abyss that are...

As a great Vulcan once said, “Only NIxon could go to China”, or, in this case, “Only Cody could marry a Ptera-person”. That’s right, despite losing an arm to one of the great beasts, Cody has magnanimously tossed aside all anger and past hostilities and has taken a Ptera-woman as his wife. And what better way to celebrate this joyous union than by watching the age old HBO classic The Beastmaster ?...

Hey, folks! It’s Dave, your trusty cinephile friend from Sector 2. While we air out the store to ensure a pleasant smelling experience to our customers (see Episode 31 ) we figured what better time to release another installment of the seventeen part series: The Krypto-Cast ! Listen as we begin the descent into the dregs of the Fleischer era Superman shorts; Lois’ inexplicable hatred for Clark get...

I’m starting to think our store is cursed. First, a nuclear explosion destroys our Adult Film section, then Chad’s A.I. turns evil and tries to kill us. Now, in what may be the biggest slight yet, our toilet - the only working toilet in all of Sector 2 - is on the fritz. And to add insult to injury, there’s a mysterious and foul smelling fog emanating around the septic tank out back. When will thi...

With the unexpected success of Ryan’s recommendation shelf, it was only a matter of time before it caught the attention of everyone’s favorite overlord, Immortan Hoof. Unfortunately for us, we didn’t think to ask the Hoof if he too would like to contribute his movie suggestions to the store, and before we knew it, we had a war party knocking on our door. Thankfully, we have plenty of free shelf sp...

This looks like a job... for the Krypto-Cast! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we look at the seventh chapter of the Max Fleischer Superman shorts is warlord and fan of cartoons, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss why every villain lair must have a torture chair; we find out ♪  who lives in a teapot under the sea ♪ ; and finally, we witness the beginning of Superman phoning it...

It’s been almost a month since we witnessed the conclusion of the Star Wars saga, but to be honest, none of us at the store have quite gotten over just how frustrating and disappointing it was. Despite Ryan increasing the amount of Rise of Skywalker Support Group meetings, the general sense of malaise that the movie created continues to run rampant. Thankfully, Ryan isn’t out of ideas yet! Using t...

After an all-night binge of playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and drinking LiveWire , Ryan and Mike have the genius idea to relive the good ol' days of the early 2000s by building their very own skatepark in the store. So with that and Star Wars still on their minds, the dudes put on a movie that was "waxing nostalgia" even way back in 1973... George Lucas' second film, American Graffiti . I'm your h...

Greetings, wastelanders. This is your trusty host of Apocalypse Video, David Snider. After the tragic events of the last episode ( mainly, the disappointing conclusion to the Star Wars series ), the crew at Apocalypse Video have decided to take a little time off to recuperate. But don’t worry, we’re not leaving you high and dry. Before leaving to Bartertown to drown our sorrows away with atomic be...

Just when we thought all hope was lost after Santa Claus: The Movie proved to be a less than magical Christmas present, our old friend Cody has returned from his journeys in the Wastes bearing a gift long thought to have been lost to time and legend. And no, i'm not talking about Avatar 2 , I'm talkin' Star Wars: Episode IX!!! What treasures does this movie hold? Will Rey finally discover her dest...

Well, last week was rough, folks - I'm not going to lie. Losing a friend is always tough, especially when your friend had his head cut off by a psychopathic fan. But nevertheless, we here at Apocalypse Video are dedicated to bringing you the lost art of cinema, 24/7, and I'll be damned if we're going to end up missing our first ever Christmas Special just because of a simple little murder. I'm you...

Christmas may just be a couple of weeks away, but let's not overlook another equally important holiday...a day that reminds us of Hollywood's lack of originality and a franchise that refused to die (at least until it was rebooted by Michael Bay...). I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me as we take a look back at the creation of one of Cinema's most memorable slashers are fellow cinephiles an...

The Wasteland can be a scary place. We've all witnessed terrible things out here -- sand dunes swallowing whole caravans of people you love; Ptera-People ripping the limbs off of your best friend; and of course, the scariest of them all, gelatinous balls of goo enveloping your girlfriend after you just made it to second base at Lookout Point. With all of these terrible things lurking the wasteland...

It's hard to believe it's already been two months since the robotic uprising that nearly claimed the lives of everyone at Apocalypse Video. And even though Chad's evil plot was squashed by the triumphant return of Cody, nevertheless, strange things have been occurring in the weeks since ( a shared nightmare of forced horror movie watching, for instance... ). So it was with that in mind that I deci...

Eat your heart out Rocketeer, because the Apocalypse Video Krypto-Cast is back with its fifth installment:  The Bulleteers ! I'm your host, David Snider, and back with me again as we learn how cool guns are is the Ruler of the Wasteland and a hardcore cartoon junkie, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss how every building in Metropolis is apparently filled with explosives; Monty Python makes an une...

Back in the days when video stores were plentiful and Blockbuster ruled with an iron fist, it was a common occurrence to rent a movie based solely on the box art. After all, this was an era before instant streaming, so all you had to go off of was a cool sounding title and bad ass imagery (usually featuring explosions, blood and guts, or – the simplest form of enticement – boobs). But what do you...

Listen up, folks. It may be delicious and possibly the best spin off drink that Mountain Dew ever conceived, but please...DO NOT drink more than three servings of Livewire in one sitting, lest you suffer the fate of one Ryan Caldwell and begin raving about a book wizard known as The Pagemaster. Anyway, with that PSA out of the way, let's get down to business...I'm your host, David Snider, and join...

Greetings, humans. I am your evil Dream Master, Chad. And this week, to celebrate what your society used to refer to as “Halloween”, I have ensnared Dave, Mike, Ryan - and even the human female known as Jackie - in a nightmare dreamworld where I will force them to watch Wes Craven’s “ A Nightmare on Elm Street” on an endless loop. Why do this, you ask? Well…perhaps my circuits are malfunctioning?...

The Krypto-Cast lives on! And this time, we have an episode 65 million years in the making…   I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me again for the third chapter of our Max Fleischer Superman series is Ruler of the Wasteland, The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla, and a gifted mathematician – excuse me, a chaotician : Immortan Hoof.   Listen as we discuss the real villain of The Arctic Giant ; we lear...

With Dave off gallivanting with Immortan Hoof, he left the keys to the store to me... Ryan Caldwell. I’m your guest host this week, and joining me on this Fluid Karma trip is a mysterious stranger that appeared through a portal in our foreign film section, Eric Smooth! Since my fellow employees at Apocalypse Video seem to despise this film, I figured I should seize the opportunity to discuss Richa...

With Chad's terrifying robotic uprising now behind us, things are finally starting to get back to normal at Apocalypse Video, and with that, comes the return of the 17 part series detailing the entirety of the Max Fleischer Superman shorts - The Krypto Cast! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we tackle the third chapter in the Fleischer series is Ruler of the Wasteland and Uber F...

The time has finally come; Chad's robotic takeover is finally at hand! With the mangled carcass of MechaMothra rotting outside the walls of the store, there is no one left to challenge Chad as he begins his ascension...or is there? I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me this week as we are saved by a deus ex machina are fellow cinephiles Ryan Caldwell, Michael Althouse, and a mysterious stran...

Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse, those annoying Mini Twins have shown up at the store again. And to add insult to injury, they brought along their giant monster, MechaMothra, to kill us all! It's times like this that I miss the quiet days of ptera attacks and small nuclear explosions from the air vents. Thankfully, Chad has noticed a similarity between the Moth's mechanical cons...

Well, the time has come. We had hoped that there was some semblance of a soul deep within the circuitry that is Chad, but that hope has died, for we are now about to face our end at the hands of our former friend and cinephile as he begins his robotic uprising. Thankfully, Chad has granted us one last request and has allowed us to screen one last set of movies before our executions commence...and...

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...The Krypto-Cast!! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we continue our discussion on the Max Fleischer Superman shorts of the early 1940's is Ruler of the Wasteland (and a big fan of all things animated), Immortan Hoof! Listen as we discuss how cool guns are in this series; we wonder why the villain wears a tuxedo; and finally, we tackle the age ol...
