Alligator (1980) Directed By: Lewis Teague Starring: Robert Forster , Robin Riker , Michael V. Gazzo , That bad guy . What if I told you that an alligator from Florida got flushed down a toilet in Chicago (John would say it popped up in New York, but you'll have to find out by listening to this episode), and then got pumped full of growth hormones to eventually bust out and kill? I'd say, I'm glad...

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Directed By: Gerard Johnstone Starring: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw , Amie Donald , That Guy from Flight of the Conchords We talked about the original M3GAN back in 2023, and to both of our surprise, we generally liked it. This time around, M3GAN is back, and it's a bit of a tonal shift, to say the least. M3GAN has a T2 moment and has to deal with a new foe. IMDB.com has this...

Robocop 2 (1990) Directed By: Irvin Kershner Starring: Peter Weller , Nancy Allen , Belinda Bauer , The Old Man returns Here's a sequel to our best performing episode ever - because you've clearly been clamoring for it and not because we want continued success (if we wanted continued success, why would we talk about Lou Ferrigno movies?). This time Murphy has not only a police strike on his hands,...

Rapid Fire (1992) Directed By: Dwight H. Little Starring: Brandon Lee , Powers Boothe , Nick Mancuso , That guy from Mulan To wash the filth off of us after talking about the Lou Ferrigno joint "Instant Death" we had to take a breather and talk about a good action flick - this time it's Brandon Lee's first big budget starring role. You may know Brandon's other big title, "The Crow", but Rapid Fire...

Night of the Comet (1984) Directed By: Thom Eberhardt Starring: Catherine Mary Stewart , Kelli Maroney , Robert Beltran , Juliet Lewis' dad I think it's safe to say that the 1984 classic film Night of the Comet is a cult classic in some ways.

Thinner (1996) Directed By: Tom Holland Starring: Robert John Burke , Joe Mantegna , Lucinda Jenney , something about a Greek wedding . Steven King has written some wild shit, but it doesn't always translate well to the screen (Maximum Overdrive, anyone?) - with the weight loss vibes going on in this film, it's strangely pertinent. IMDB Describes this as: " An obese attorney is cursed...

They Live (1988) Directed By: John Carpenter Starring: Roddy Piper , Keith David , Meg Foster , Con Stapleton from Deadwood John Carpenter is known probably more for horror flicks like Halloween, The Thing, The Fog, the Escape series (New York, LA) - and we're not saying that this movie is unknown by any means, but it's super prescient today.

Surviving the Game (1994) Directed By: Ernest R. Dickerson Starring: Rutger Hauer , Ice-T , Charles S.

Midnight Ride (1990) Directed By: Bob Bralver Starring: Michael Dudikoff , Mark Hamill , Savina Gersak , a phoned in Robert Mitchum We wax philosophical about Mark Hamill, is he the best character actor or a better voice actor, why exactly does Michael Dudikoff go ham on a sandwich, and is his wife a mail order bride?
