Often considered John Carpenters worst, Lance and Tyler make the case that maybe it's not. Sure, it's not a great film but it's not the abomination its made out to be.

Both Lance and Tyler went into this movie with a little bit of worry. Tyler had never seen the film and Lance didn't have positive memories of it, so both were expecting a dour time.

As Lance and Tyler move through the John Carpenter filmography, one thing became clear: they needed to get some of the bad ones out of the way fast.

So listen to the latest Needlessly Nostalgic, and ge...

Now that the Friday the 13th series is behind them, Lance and Tyler are looking at the films of John Carpenter. First up is his dark action film Assault on Precinct 13 which features plenty of shocking moments (let's just say, a little girl meets her maker).

While this 2009 entry is often regarded as a remake, it could easily be considered a sequel along with all the rest in the franchise.

The versus movie everyone was waiting for and left everyone wanting more!
