The Good, the Bad and the Weird

Join Nicho and Chris as they embark on a journey through the twists and turns of the cult classic Labyrinth. An imaginative film from visionary Jim Henson that tries to bring his puppets to a wider audience that just didn't hit well originally. Even with David Bowie's bulging presence. 

Nicho and Chris return to Valentine Bluffs for a more surface level dive into the 2009 remake of the cult classic of the same name, My Bloody Valentine 3D. A film that tries to pay homage to the original but gets lost in the gore instead of the mines. 

In an episode that is sure to rip your heart from your chest, Nicho and Chris dive deeper than the coal mines of Valentine's Bluff to explore the 1981 holiday classic My Bloody Valentine. A film that knows the slashers tropes and knows when twist them to make a unique and smart take on the slasher genre at the tail end of the Golden Age of Slashers. 

The classic Toy Story saga concludes as Nicho and Chris take a dive into nostalgia with what should have arguably been the final film in the series, Toy Story 3. Join them as they tackle the heartfelt narrative and themes of friendship as they question some of the logic of the world. All while celebrating the creative brilliance in storytelling and advancements in animation.

Join Nicho and Chris as they take a side trek from the mainline Toy Story movies to explore the expanded universe with 2022's Lightyear. A movie that while entertaining, muddles the perceived timeline and raises some questions about the original movie. 

Join Nicho and Chris as they continue to dive into their childhood classics with Toy Story 2! A movie that might just be as good as the original while continuing to raise many questions that as adult make them worry about the world of Toy Story! 

Join Nicho and Chris as they kick of 2024 with a classic return to animated films. This year they take a dive into the classic 1995 film, Toy Story. A film that not only was the first fully computer animated film, but one that set the standard for all animated films to come! 

Grab a stiff drink, cozy up to a fire and join Nicho in the second annual rant on Christmas rom-coms as he explores why people are drawn to them despite how notoriously cheesy they are. 

This Christmas season, Nicho and Chris have been a bit mischievous as they unbox the cult classic horror comedy Gremlins! A movie that is an odd combination of borderline family friendly on the surface but changed the shape of American cinema and horror comedy as we know it! 

The holiday season continues as Nicho and Chris get isekaied along with Drew Barrymore, Jill Schoelen and Keanu Reeves of all people in the 1986 adaptation of Babes in Toyland! A thankfully shorter edit of the original television release that is only slightly Christmas related and quite rough around the edges. 

Join Nicho and Chris as they take a dive into the 2000 classic live action adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. A film that, while technically impressive in brining the world of Dr. Seuss to life, is just as baffling as it brings in real world implications. 

The end of Nic Cage November is upon us embark on a Coen Brother's classic with 1987 Raising Arizona! In the episode we explore the quirky twist on the American dream in what some consider their top Cage flick. 

Nic Cage November sculls on as Nicho and Chris take a look at an earlier film staring the beloved Nic Cage, The Boy in Blue. A film that doesn't know if it wants to be a bio-pic, a romantic drama or a spots movie. All while skimming over the life of the Canadian icon Ned Hanlan. 

It's that glorious time of year! Nic Cage November is upon us as we take a deep dive into the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man! A baffling attempt at remaking a folk horror classic that has become iconic in its own rights!

Join Nicho and Chris as they explore the companion piece to the 1973 folk horror classic The Wicker Man in 2011's The Wicker Tree. A baffling film that tries its best to hit all the notes of the original with a more modern take. But with modern issues, comes modern problems as the movie has no clue what it wants to be. 

Grab your lantern and a warm beverage and join Nicho and Chris as they travel back to 1999 for what should be a Halloween classic, Sleepy Hollow! An adaptation of the American classic folk tale that once again brings together the iconic duo, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton!

Folktober continues with a little bit of different take on the genre in The Lair of the White Worm! Join Nicho and Chris as they are accompanied by Paul and Sophie from SP Filmviewers down this oddly layered and comedic little adaptation of Bram Stoker's last novel! 

Join Nicho and Chris in their first episode of Folktober! In this eipsode they take a look back at 2019's folk horror film Midsommar! A film that tried its best to re-ignite the folk horror genre. 

New to the folk horror genre? Join Nicho and Chris as they kick off Folktober with a discussion on the genre in an exploration to get to the core of what folk horror is! 

Join Nicho and Chris as they take a look at a counterpart to the swords and sandals that Ridley Scott had to fight against with Hercules Against the Sons of the Sun. A wildly inaccurate and poorly executed but fun flick. 

Join Nicho and Chris as they take a look back on 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. A film that rode the wave of the first female video game superstar and marked a change in video game live action adaptations. But, does it hold up after 22 years?

After multiple multiple historic set movies that don't hold up to the rose-tinted memories will Gladiator hold up? Find out as Nicho and Chris take a dive into the ancient Roman colosseum to review 2000's Gladiator! 

Join Nicho and Chris as they take a step back to balance out the confusing puddle that was Burst City by taking a look at an almost as baffling adaptation of a classic musical, Les Misérables. A musical that took some creative liberties.

Join Nicho and Chris as they return to the world of French animation with the steampunk alternative history film April and the Extraordinary World! A light watch with slightly deeper undertones.   

The time is here Nicho has finally chosen a "musical" and Chris is absolutely baffled by his choice! Join them as they take a step back to the early 80's to examine the punk rock musical, Burst City, that is as punk as you can get while also inspiring the underground Japanese cyberpunk movement! But the real question, is Burst City a musical?
