The Outer Reels

We were initially excited by this odd offering from Spain, but ultimately were let down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not only does Sam not understand Geography, but he doesn't care about history, either. We continue our Street Fighter 2 map with Sam's Chinese pick, 1982's Mad Mission, which is actually out of Hong Kong. It's really dumb but still a lot of fun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam hates this classic movie out of the USSR, but Jason knows it's a work of art. Things kinda spiral out of control from there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

First off, Sam doesn't understand geography, as we're doing a movie from Taiwan in place of one from Thailand. Having said that, this movie is WILD. Just do your best to get through the "story" parts. Also don't tell PETA about this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam didn't like this one, but Jason thinks it's better than it should have been. There's also a lot of talk about things that aren't this movie, more so than usual, at least. This is a long one, so get comfortable... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is the first of Sam's "Street Fighter 2" season, where we follow the game's map with a movie from each country. Really, it's just an excuse for Sam to be able to pick an American movie for a change, so sit back and try to enjoy Mindwarp! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we take a look back at our first 48 episodes and do a review of each season. Hopefully you won't be bored. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We interview ozploitation legend, Brian Trenchard-Smith (see half of our Australian episodes in season 2!). Brian is (obviously) an amazing storyteller, touching on his novel "Alice Through the Multiverse", getting his start in editing movie trailers, and the move into feature films. Be sure to check out his memoir, "Adventures in the B Movie Trade." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

Sam has a lot to say, including how much he loves League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. No, seriously. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Weird Movie = Weird Episode - Great sounds and music though, and apparently, we find out that Jason does not like True Lies? while learning about his career at the Grocery store, working on Hallmark Christmas movies and somehow Freddy Got Fingered, all in the mix. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're going to take two episodes to cover this German miniseries from 1973. Jason LOVES this while Sam isn't so convinced. Please excuse Jason's wonky sound this episode (just THIS episode?!?) as he apparently doesn't know how to talk into a microphone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam loved this movie, but Jason not so much. Fire up this episode to listen to Sam go on about how awesome Ancient Astronauts is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As Sam notes, "I didn't have navigator rape on my bingo card", but we still enjoyed this other early Roland Emmerich movie from 1990. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Terminus, from 1987. How do you sell this movie?" I don't. It's a mess. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's some impressive stuff in this lost movie from communist East Germany. Just don't mind the propaganda. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We start our tour of Germany with Roland Emerich's student film. It's really impressive for what it is, though we're not sure what it is. On a side note: unfortunately the YouTube channel we reference in this episode is already gone. Pour one out... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"The whole movie, once they're in space, looks like a high school play." Also, Sam claims to be an editor, but he doesn't cut ANYTHING. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is what happens when you write movies on drugs, kids. Drugs are bad, okay? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jason is shocked that Sam didn't outright hate this charming British classic staring Obi Wan Kenobi and Alfred Pennyworth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam explains why soft-core directors start doing sci-fi and horror in the 70's, which is a lot more interesting than this blatant Alien rip-off. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We try some new software on this one. In the end Sam likes and Jason hates (HATES) it, so feel free to let us know your thoughts. Oh, and we also talk about a British sci-fi movie from 1951 that looks like a stage play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Blofeld AND Doctor Who in the same movie?!? How could this go wrong? Listen and find out how it does. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Impressive model work can't save this slow movie. As usual, we watch these so you don't have to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam loved this one, Jason not so much. It's a flawed and (somewhat) fun mess. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This movie is apparently better than we think it is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
