Apocalypse Video

Happy Valentine’s Day, Wasteland! It’s that special time of the year where you show that you care by making a last minute stop at a Walgreen's to buy some cheap chocolates and a teddy bear for your significant other. It’s also the time where we here at Apocalypse Video throw caution to the wind and screen a potentially terrible rom-com to celebrate the holiday. God help us all… I’m your host, Dave...

Captain’s Log, Stardate: 41365.9 With Star Trek: Generations behind us, we now start the second leg of our 178 part journey into the Final Frontier with Season 1’s 11001001 . I must admit, the thought of having to sit through another Season 1 TNG is nauseating to say the least, but I am confident that the holodeck related storyline will result in the usual sexy shenanigans. I’m your host and Capta...

Thank god for time rifts, or in this case, the Cross Rift Parcel Service, as I am happy to announce that Apocalypse Video has finally gotten its hands on the final Daniel Craig Bond film: No Time to Die . I must also give a big shout out to the Super fan of another podcast that Immortan Hoof ( aka: Nick) and I apparently did in another timeline where we evidently reviewed all twenty five James Bon...

After a long vacation, the Apocalypse Video Podcast is Back…in Action, that is. Yes, thanks to a crappy bootleg from a vendor in Bartertown, an anticipated viewing of the latest Beatles documentary, Get Back , turns into a forced torture session of the 2003 box office bomb, Looney Tunes: Back in Action . I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow cinephiles and people who wish we could be watc...

Merry Christmas, everybody! While we may have already released a Christmas special this week, there’s one listener out there who needed some cheering up… You didn’t think we’d forget about our boy, Chuck, did you? I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on the final Saturday Morning Apocalypse of the year are fellow cartoonphiles and unlicensed psychiatric helpers, Ryan and Nick (aka Immortan Hoof) -...

Christmas is almost here! And you know what that means…TV Specials! And what better way to celebrate a pop culture tradition then by busting out a dusty old videotape and reliving the magic that is the 1987 ABC broadcast of A Muppet Family Christmas ! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we bask in the warmth of old school toy commercials and Jim Henson goodness are fellow cinephiles and Muppet-...

Captain’s Log, Star Date 48632.4 The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast is about to complete the first leg of its 178 part journey. And it is with great reluctance that I turn over the duties of Captain, albeit temporarily, to Ensign Michael as he prepares for his first assignment as Host of the Podcast – I can only hope that he does not emulate the command style of William T. Riker, lest we crash the sho...

It’s the last day of Hanukkah, and this year Apocalypse Video is ending the holiday Rugrats style, with the season four classic,  Chanukah . I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we learn all about the meanie of Hanukkah are fellow toonephiles and Cynthia fans Ryan, Mike, Jackie, and Nick (aka: Immortan Hoof). Listen as we discuss our own histories with Hanukkah; Mike passionately extols the deli...

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! Whether you’re at home enjoying a nice meal with your family or if you’re alone eating take out food because your family sucks and you wish them nothing but ill will, we’ve got you covered with a brand new special Non-Saturday Saturday Morning Apocalypse! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on this special holiday edition of Saturday Morning Apocalypse are confirmed Char...

They say when you’ve hit one hundred episodes on television that you’ve officially made it - you’re big time. Time to see that syndication money pour in and start living the rest of your life on easy street. While I’m not sure that the same thing applies for podcasting, I can say this: HELL YEAH! 100 EPISODES, BABY! WOO-HOOOOO!!! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we do a self congratulatory v...

It’s finally time, Kiddies! Halloween is here! And that can only mean one thing...the conclusion of the Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular! And believe us when we tell you - we saved the best for last! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me for our final spook-em is our good friend ( and previously presumed dead ), Ryan, along with two very special guests: Eric and Becky, from the Monster-Twin...

Have you ever gotten mad at a family member for not celebrating your special day? Have you ever gotten too curious and touched a space rock you shouldn’t have touched? Have you ever ingested a large amount of live bugs? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions...you might be a creep. I’m your host and resident creep, Dave, and joining me are fellow cinephiles and people who can hold their b...

Move over, Pennywise...there are some new clowns in the neighborhood. And these clowns are from outer spaaaace! ( Wait...was Pennywise from space too? Sorry, I never finished it. I couldn’t get past the kid orgy scene -- I guess it’s true what they say; “cocaine’s a helluva drug”.) I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we put up the big tent and try to avoid getting  ensnared in cotton candy are...

Just when you thought it was safe to read your Grandma’s erotic journals… The Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular continues, and this time we’re crossing over...into the Final Frontier! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we spend a few days on Planet Scotland are fellow Trekkies and Ghost/Anaphasic-Hunters Mike and Jackie. Topics covered in this spooooky assignment include the 24th centur...

Have you ever been jealous of a lover’s friend? Ever walk into a pet shop and upset the animals with your presence? Have you ever torn up a couch with your razor sharp nails after getting dumped? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions...you might be a Cat People. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we discuss the film that inspired a young Paul Schrader to direct an incest filled remak...

Tis the season... for HORROR! Welcome to the first annual Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we grab a pint and try to avoid the rain are fellow ghouls and cinephiles Mike and Jackie. Our first terrifying entry for Shocktober is none other than the 2012 Irish horror-comedy, Grabbers. “When things stop getting polite...and start getting...GRABBED!” Topi...

Captain’s Log, Stardate 46235.7 After watching one of the best cerebral installments of The Next Generation in “Darmok”, the crew of the Apocalypse Video Trek-Cast return to the sillier side of Trek with Season Six’s “Rascals” - an episode that has more in common with a Saturday morning cartoon than with heady sci-fi. Nevertheless, the crew is looking forward to the zany antics of our newly de-age...

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year again; Employee Reviews! And since Ryan is missing and presumed dead, there’s only one other employee in the store whose performance is up for review, good old Mike himself. But this time there’s a twist! Instead of simply getting a two and a half cent pay increase, Mike will be up for the coveted role of Store Retainer. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me...

Captain’s Log, Stardate 45047.2. With Q’s “Adventures of Robin Hood” fantasy behind us, we move on to Season 5’s “ Darmok ”, an episode that showcases, at least in this Captain’s opinion, the best qualities of Star Trek, which include diplomacy, understanding, and incomprehensible techno-babble. I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me are fellow Trek fans and linguistic experts, Mike and J...

Ok, I’ll admit, Hot Dave’s Fun Summer Film Fest hasn’t exactly gone as planned. We’ve had to suffer the douchey pontifications of Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach and the bafflingly bad box office bomb that was Cutthroat Island. Not to mention the disappearance of our friend Ryan and a hurricane outside that threatens to destroy the store. But we’ve got one movie left, and I’m not about to give up o...

He’s back! He’s the man behind the mask...and he crawled out of his hole... again! That’s right, it’s Friday the 13th, and that means an obligatory episode where I force my staff at Apocalypse Video to watch and discuss one of Jason Voorhees’ many blood soaked escapades. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we witness Jason living (... again ) are fellow cinephiles and camp counselors Mike and J...

“Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest” continues with Cutthroat Island , a box office bomb of epic proportions that sank a film studio and killed a marriage. Will this legendary turd change the tides of the Film Fest for the better? Not if Renny Harlin has anything to say about it. I’m your Host/Captain, Dave, and joining me as we embark on a grand adventure filled with pirates and cute little monkeys are...

Summer’s finally here, and you know what that means? Heatwaves, rising sea levels, and of course, poorly received Summer blockbusters! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we attempt to forget about the skin melting temperatures outside are fellow cinephiles Ryan, Mike, and Jackie. Topics of discussion in this episode include Danny Boyle’s Generation X-style ode to The Lord of the Flies ; Leonar...

Captain’s Log Stardate: 44741.9 With the perverted exploits of Lt. Reginald Barclay behind us, the Apocalypse Video Trek Cast can now move on to Season 4 of Star Trek: The Next Generation with Episode 20’s “Qpid”. To say that I’m a little worried about the return of everyone’s favorite omnipotent trickster would be a massive understatement. What will Q bring us this time? Pig faced soldiers armed...

Look, I like TV as much as the next guy...but come on! For the last two months we’ve been putting out nothing but TV related episodes. I love Star Trek: The Next Generation too, but we did NOT open this store to talk exclusively about television shows! We’re supposed to be spreading the lost art of Cinema back to the Wasteland, damn it! IT’S LITERALLY OUR MISSION STATEMENT!!! Thankfully, I remembe...
