Starring Alec Baldwin, directed by Russell Mulcahy, and written by David Koepp. Along with Tim Curry, Peter Boyle, and Ian McKellen to name a few. This film here is an interesting one.

Wes and Spencer are going back to 1991 in the pulp era comic book movie of The Rocketeer on a lost in the vault, Via VHS Podcast Rewind Review.

Spencer and Dave have just watched the new Mortal Kombat movie of 2 (not to be confused with Annihilation) and were thoroughly impressed with the experience. This movie goes to show that a sequel can really fix a rough start and turn the boat around to glory. The first MK movie from 2021 is about a middle of the road watch. There are great moments but also a lot of goofy changes. This sequel comes...

Spencer and Dave are going back to 1994 for a Vintage Cinema Review of the French action film, Leon The Professional.

One of the few other than Parasit...

Spencer and Dave are giving the second viewing review to that 2021 Mortal Kombat. We watched it when it first came out and had that very middle of the road feeling about the experience. It definitely wasn't the 90s MK film or even Annihilation for that matter. But how do we feel about this take once we accept some of the goofs? Like the avatar character of Cole Young who could be just any real...

Spencer and Dave are continuing their Mortal Kombat movie conquest, this time with the original sequel, Annihilation from 1997. This is one of those films that you probably either love or despise, but even with all its goofs and low budget TV movie feel (even though it's ironically 10 million more than the first film), it still has a certain fun charm to the watching experience. It gets a lot...

So much variety in one gaming experience. And even though it is kind of a rip off...
