    The Island of Dr. Moreau 2/15/97

    In honor of the late great Val Kilmer, we're talking about one of his worst films that hit the Top 10 video rental charts in February of 1997, The Island of Dr. Moreau. (In fairness, this episode was recorded before Mr. Kilmer's untimely passing, and we recommend you check out one of his other, much better films - The Salton Sea, Spartan, etc.) Marlon Brando also starred in Dr. Moreau, a movie that is wacky both in front of and behind the camera. Join Hollipop and Robi as they chat about this delightfully B-movie with an A-level cast. New episodes the first week of each month!

    Twister 12/28/96

    Welcome in to Top 10 Video! We're just a small mom and pop video shop, but you're bound to find a flick to keep you entertained on a Friday night. It's nearly the end of December 1996 and Twister has just fallen out of the Top 10 Rentals list to number 15, but thanks to Robi's screw-up we're chatting about it with a very special guest from The Introverse and Coffee With Suga podcasts, Brent (Blue!) Evans. It's the Jan DeBont directed, Spielberg produced flick about weather run amuck, Twister, so let's twist again, like we did in the summer of 1996!
