Spencer and Dave finish off their Rambo movie run, this time with part 5, Last Blood. And the extended cut as well. Which really does make this the definitive way to watch this film. The extra 10 minute opening scene with Rambo working Search and Rescue adds a ton to his character and really seems like a perfect fit for his skills. This movie plays out like a 70s revenge film. It has a slow burn t...

Spencer and Cameron are going back to 1996 with the PC Point and Click Horror Adventure, Harvester. Probably one of the most brutal games out there in both violence, content, and humor. A game that puts the last 25 years plus of games to shame at how tame they are compared to the onslaught that this journey takes us on. You play as Steve, a man who wakes up in a 1950s town with amnesia and has no...

Spencer and Dave are continuing their Rambo marathon, this time with part 4, John Rambo from 2008. Which might be the most violent, widely theatrically released movie of all time. The late 2000s to early 2010s was a glorious time of film, where great violence was pretty much guaranteed in every movie you watched. This sort of petered out in the mid 2010s with many movies going back to a PG 13 styl...

Spencer and Dave go back to the 80s Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, The Running Man. A book by Stephen King that has the initial concept going for a Game Show styled survival challenge in a dystopian future. A story that has been used over and over throughout the years with Battle Royale, The Hunger Games, and Smash TV to name a few. But here is where it all started. Even though there is apparently...

Spencer and Cameron are diving into the classic PS2 survival horror game, The Thing from 2002.

The ones from the prequel Thing movie. Carrying on the storyline that takes horror elements of...

Spencer and Dave are finishing off their Crocodile Dundee marathon with part 3 Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. Paul Hogan brings the winning formula back and the third film just feels right. Allowing Mick Dundee to do what he does best and add his Australian commentary now on Los Angeles as well as take care of some crime too. This movie fires on all cylinders and is right up there with the origi...

Spencer and Dave are going for an 80s horror classic that both of us have never seen before for our Halloween Horror Movie Extravaganza review. Talking the film simply titled, House from 1985.

This one is Directed by Steve Miner from Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3 fame along with Halloween H20 later on. The...

Spencer and Dave are continuing their Crocodile Dundee marathon this time with good ole number 2. The Paul Hogan sequel that retains all the main cast and takes Dundee on another adventure, starting off in New York and then back to Australia. For the most part, the core elements are still intact but there is an odd action movie premise that takes hold of the whole film and feels just a bit off. Su...

Spencer and Ryan are talking about 5 DC Graphic Novels each that would make for excellent DCU Animated Movies. With the new release of Aztec Batman, it got us both thinking of great comic books we have read over the years that still could use that movie making treatment. Join us for the discussion and let us know which superhero stories you'd like to see brought to video. Join us as we break i...

This time because the Colonel himself got caught trying to help Afghanistan fight off the Soviets. Well, Rambo is back to kick some ass, save some names and stop the whole Cold War...

Spencer and Dave are back in the action as we continue our Rambo movie marathon. This time, with Rambo First Blood Part 2 from 1985. Just when he thought he was out, they brought him back in. And now he has to journey back to Vietnam and rescue some POWs while hopefully getting recognized as the hero he's always been. Another damn good action movie that really sets the bar high and creates so...

Spencer and Dave are talking all about the very first Sylvester Stallone Rambo film, First Blood from 1982. Exactly 10 years after the book by David Morrell was released and we do a little compare and contrast to that experience as well. Because there are a couple key differences between the two that add in an extra element, even though the core story and progression are the same. But all in all,...

Spencer and Cameron are talking all about the latest survival horror game from Bloober Team. Cronos The New Dawn. Like a fusion between The Thing, Resident Evil 4, Soma, and Dead Space, yet still uniquely its own. With a cool 1981 Soviet post-apocalyptic look in Poland, weird mutated and merging monsters, and a twist and turn filled story that still leaves some questions after the whole experience...

Spencer and Buddy are talking all things Spinal Tap and Heavy Metal, with the original This is Spinal Tap movie and the brand new sequel. Enjoying all the laughs and the good time tunes. The original is the all time classic that anyone who is into some form of rock or heavy metal ought to see. The sequel keeps the fun going into old age and we had a blast seeing it in the cinema. Join us as we bre...

Spencer and Buddy are talking all about the latest Mafia game, The Old Country and enjoying the living daylights out of the whole gameplay experience and story. Asking the questions that go along with the other 3 games and how it all connects. This game is about as dialed in as one can get. All killer, no filler. Just to the point and without ever dragging on too long like so many video games out...

Spencer and Dave are going back in time to 1992 and watching Quentin Tarantino's first film, Reservoir Dogs. For Dave, this his first time watch of the 90s classic that is part of the start of an alternative, independent change in film making. So, the twists, turns, and magic are all a brand new experience. Yet this film is always a fantastic watch, no matter how many times you have seen it. A...

Spencer, Josh, and Cameron are talking all about their playthroughs of the new Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake, Delta Snake Eater and how it compares to our original 2004 and beyond runs. Amazingly it's a 1 to 1 pure remake with new over the shoulder controls and a slightly different look using that Unreal graphic engine over the old MGS anime look. Still, the experience is great and it complements...

Spencer and Dave are going back to 1991 to the Kathryn Bigelow surf and bank heist action flick! This is one of Spencer's all time favorite flicks growing up and it's Dave's first watch of the film. And funny enough, Fast and the Furious 1 practically takes this movie beat for beat and just changes surfing to auto racing. Starring a young Keanu Reeves in his first action role along wit...

Spencer and Ryan are talking all about the new graphic novel release of Absolute Batman. The brand new run of DC comics where they are taking the classic characters into a completely new story yet retaining the core values and elements.
