Troy and I poke our heads into a Universal Studio haunted house, spot vaudeville act Olsen & Johnson and run away. Well – not really. But our first viewing of this nearly forgotten comedy h...

Argoman or Psychoman? That's the question posed in this episode as we take a look at the pop art-infused crazy world of Sir Reginald Hoover, noted criminologist, playboy and masked criminal. ...

I had heard good things about WONKA (2023) from reputable sources so when it popped up as a streaming option I took the plunge. Rarely have I been so unexpectedly pleased with a film of this ...

My fascination with 1960's Hanna-Barbera cartoon shows and their record off-shoots continues with another James Bond inspired entry. Am I crazy for getting a kick out of these strange things? ...

I only occasionally caught a Snooper & Blabber Mouse cartoon as a kid. They were part of the Quick Draw McGraw show in the early 1960's and were not rerun in my area during my formative years in...

It has been far too long since Troy and I gathered around the male bag….uuuhh…MAIL bag to find out what folks who listen to the podcast think! Or, at least if they want to make fun of me....

I'm feeling the springtime desire to watch some classic peplum!

Director Ernest Dickerson presents the trailer for one of his (and my) favorite Italian horror films. It is a brilliant combination of arthouse intelligence and grindhouse sex and violence that s...

I've been looking over a collection of classic Plastic Man comics and realized how often the character's adventures ventured into horror realms. I had never associated...

THE GHOST GOES WEST is a charming British comedy that uses its supernatural story elements in witty ways. I first caught this hidden gem years ago on a late night cable broadcast. The word 'ghost...

WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) and INVADERS FROM MARS (1953) are two of the most beloved of the dozens of science fiction movies from that paranoid Cold War decade. Author Mark Clark joins me to co...

This classic never seems to get old!

The flood of barbarian movies that stormed across movie screens in the early 1980s was at best a mixed blessing. A direct result of the big box office of CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982), the slew ...

Joe Dante talks a bit about one of Roger Corman's goofiest monster movies. I'm glad Dante points out it was a parody as many viewers manage to miss that aspect of this silly film. Plus, the steel...

I wanted to like ARGYLLE (2024). Indeed, I held out hope for it to work for more than two thirds of the running time. But there came a point when I had to accept the sad fact that it was simply...

A friend alerted me to this amazing combination of the classic season one opening theme from Space: 1999 and the original STAR WARS (1977). Barry Gray's music has always been a heart-pumping thri...
