Broadcasting from the last surviving video store on the planet, listen to host David Snider and his cinephile friends as they take it upon themselves to educate the inhabitants of this post-apocalyptic hellscape and bring the lost art of cinema back to the Wasteland.

  1. Free Willy (1993)

    Free Willy (1993)

    Hello, and welcome to Apocalypse Video’s look at the gentle giants of the sea: Whales. All month long, we’ll be discussing everything from Orcas, to Humpback Whales, as well as a special once in a lifetime look at one of the rarest whale species on the planet. This…is Febwhaleary. In this first installment, we will be covering perhaps the most popular whale in the public consciousness: the Orca - otherwise known as the Killer whale. But not all Orcas behave like their infamous moniker, some are gentle giants, case in point, tonight's subject: Willy. A performer for years before his eventual debut in Hollywood, Willy is perhaps the most popular killer whale in the world. Although his true life story is not as hopeful as his motion picture alter ego… I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on this quest to stop a power-mad Michael Ironside are fellow cinephiles and Willy fans, Mike and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the depressing story of Keiko (aka: Willy), and why it’s never a good idea to turn a Killer Whale into a Golden Retriever; we’ll also talk about whether Michael Madsen and Michael Ironside are too menacing in this movie or not menacing enough; and finally, we’ll get into Ryan’s childhood obsession with whales and how he may have gone down a different path in life had he lived closer to a Seaworld.

Febwhaleary will continue next week, as we take a look at a whale that more embodies the ominous nature of its “killer” moniker: next week we watch the 1977 creature thriller…Orca.

    The Devil's Rain (1975)

    Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we’re giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan’s most devilish and diabolical filmography… On the final installment of Satanuary, the Captains of the Nostromo and the Enterprise battle Ernest Borgnine and his eyeless disciples, as they attempt to stay dry and not get gooped by the face meltings of the damned in the 1975 drive-in classic….The Devil’s Rain. I’m your host and eyeless wonder, Dave, and joining me as we bid farewell to Satanuary are fellow cinephiles and damned souls Mike, Ryan, and Jackie. Topics of discussion in this episode include the frightening origin of the Michael Myers mask; John Travolta finds Xenu while pretending to worship Satan; and finally, we witness a fifteen minute uninterrupted goop-athon that gives Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead a run for its money. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com And thus concludes Satanuary. We bid our Dark Lord farewell as we rise from the depths of Hell into the depths of the Ocean as we enter February…or, as it will be known this year…Febwhaleary! That’s right! There will be whales here!!!

    Bedazzled (2000)

    Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we’re giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan’s most devilish and diabolical filmography…and that includes Belezbob's funnier side. On this installment of Satanuary, the devil assumes the form of Elizabeth Hurley and gives incel loser, Elliot Richards, seven wishes to win the love of a woman he’s barely spoken to and desperately wants to have sex with. Prepare yourself for the film Us Weekly described as “Hell-acioulsly funny”; it’s Bedazzled (a Harold Ramis Joint). I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow cinephiles and slaves to Elizabeth Hurley’s power Mike, Jackie, and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include how Bedazzled feels like a jumbled mess of rejected SNL sketches; we endure what basically feels like the epitome of the early 2000’s comedy (replete with a deluge of gay panic jokes); and finally, we try to break down the ultimate message of the film…which I guess is that true love exists, as long as you wait around until you meet a clone of yourself that you can fall in love with…? I guess…?Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That’ll do it for this sexy, yet cringy, installment of Satanuary. When we return we’ll be closing up the hell portal that is Satanuary as we bask in the warm, face melting goop of…The Devil’s Rain.

    The Devil's Advocate (1997)

    Let’s face it, last year sucked - big time. So with that in mind we here at Apocalypse Video are pulling out all the stops and doing everything within our meager power to make this new year somewhat bearable, which is why every month in 2026 (or whatever year it is in the Wasteland…) will henceforth be known as “Oops, All Theme Months!!!”. And unlike last year, we’re not starting with the wimpy and conservative JC – no, no…we’re starting off strong with the Dark One, baby! That’s right…Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we’re giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan’s most devilish and diabolical filmography… First up, we answer our summons and appear in court as Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino chew up the scenery in the fiendishly horny and over the top legal thriller: The Devil’s Advocate.I’m your host and Shift Leader in the Devil’s Entertainment Division, Dave, and joining me as we try out our best Gainesville, Florida accents is fellow cinephile and Third Degree Master in Fire and Brimstone, Mike. Topics of discussion in this episode include Keanu’s wildly entertaining and fluctuating southern accent; we salute Pacino as he absolutely goes off in a pre-Dunkachino performance; and finally, we question the merits of floor-sex and wonder why Charlize Theron with her hair up is somehow considered “dumpy” looking. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That’ll do it for the first film of Satanuary. When we return we’ll be getting silly (and sexy) with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser as we watch the forgotten Harold Ramis comedy remake, Bedazzled.

    Holiday in Handcuffs (2007)

    To anyone who gets this message; this is David Snider, manager of Apocalypse Video in Sector 2 – and my employees and I have been kidnapped!!! We’re being held hostage by a crazed, former malignant tumor named Madolyn! She’s forcing us to watch this bizarre and twisted movie called “Holiday in Handcuffs”! She says she’s starting a new holiday tradition and we’re to be the first converts to her cause! It’s terrible…the story makes no sense – why doesn’t Mario Lopez just keep screaming at the top of his lungs that he’s been kidnapped by Melissa Joan Hart instead of giving up after thirty seconds? What’s the deal with this old pirate gun? Why is everyone in the movie a pervert? Why does – wait…oh, god. She’s coming back…and she’s carrying red, mink covered handcuffs! Please, for the love of god, HELP US!! This movie is terrible!!! Ahem, excuse the crazy ramblings of Dave. He likes to pretend he’s been kidnapped every New Year’s Eve. It’s this weird inside joke that he loves to do. Anyway, I’m Madolyn, and I’ll be running things on this episode. I’m joined by fellow cinephiles and hostages - errr, I mean, "willing participants in this seasonal screening of a holiday classic", Dave, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the surprising amounts of horniness depicted in ABC Family movies; we break down the art of making a fun-bad Christmas movie; and finally, we check in with an old Disney Channel mainstay as she addresses the controversial goings on over on her Instagram page. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com  That’ll do it for this impromptu hostage situation / podcast recording. From all of us here at Apocalypse Video, we’d like to wish you a Happy New Year, folks! Here’s to another great year of movie reviews and bizarre, convoluted episode setups.

    Quantum Leap: A Little Miracle (1990)

    Merry Christmas, wastelanders! In honor of the holiday, we’re stepping back into the Hilton Star Trek Simulator and taking another leap with our old friend, Dr. Sam Beckett, in the Christmas Carol inspired episode, A Little Miracle. I’m your host and leaper, Dave, and joining me as we hand-wave away several questionable plot elements are fellow friends from the future Janna and Mike. Topics of discussion in this leap include Al’s new future powers, including the ability to project building sized tv broadcasts; we stress the importance of making sure everyone is included in your Scrooge ‘Em scheme, especially the lazy eyed chestnut vendor; and finally, if you’re gonna get a Tiny Tim character, make sure he’s missing his front teeth and carrying around a three legged horse figurine. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, Follow us on Instagram, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com Merry Christmas, folks. From everyone here at Apocalypse Video, we wish you a safe and happy holiday with your loved ones (...unless you’re a Scrooge-like character, in which case we hope your building gets taken over and renamed by a Japanese company and your underwear is missing its talcum powder!).

    Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

    Okay, I’ll be the first to admit when I’m wrong, so with that said, let me just say to Mr. Voorhees that everyone here at Apocalypse Video is genuinely sorry that we missed your special day, Friday the 13th, back in June. To be fair, we had a lot going on this past Summer, what with the whole “disappointing the listeners with terrible superhero movies thing”, but I know - that’s no excuse. Had I known that a dream demon named Fred Krueger would summon our old pal Jason back to life from the depths of hell and join forces to make us remember their slasher antics, I probably would have put our Future is Super-Female thing on hold. But, alas…what’s done is done. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we blast some nu-metal and watch the gore fly are fellow cinephiles and Hypnocil junkies Mike, Jackie, and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the long road it took to bring Freddy and Jason together; we wish Freddy would go back to being a lovable child killer instead of a creepy child molester; and finally, we discuss Freddy vs. Jason’s place in a Post-Scream horror landscape. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That’ll do it for this unexpected Elm St. / Friday the 13th crossover episode. When we return, we’ll be back in the spirit of the season as we take another Quantum Leap with good old Sam Beckett in the Christmas themed leap: A Little Miracle.

    Stand by Me (1986)

    Hey, folks. For once we’re going to break kayfabe and address reality. While we may have recorded the episode you’re about to hear back in November, it didn’t come up in our release schedule until just now, and unfortunately, right before this episode was set to drop, the tragic news of Rob and Michele Reiner’s death had started to be announced all over the news. It’s made all the more tragic given the circumstances of their death, and given as such, we debated whether or not we should even release this episode or hold off for a while due to the subject matter of the film. But ultimately, we decided what better way to celebrate the life of Rob Reiner than by talking about one of his most acclaimed films, Stand by Me; a film that meant a lot to me at a young age and even though it was set during the 1950s, its themes still spoke and resonated to a little kid growing up in the early 90s. If you’re listening to this episode and aren’t too familiar with Rob Reiner’s work, I definitely recommend checking out his filmography, as well as his charitable and philanthropic endeavours. By all accounts he was a funny, gentle, and warm man who made everyone around him happier with his presence and good nature. Rest in Peace, Rob. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we pay tribute to one of Cinema’s greatest and warmest directors are fellow cinephiles Mike and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include Rob Reiner’s historic five film run from 1986 to 1992 that cemented his status as an icon of Cinema; I detail my own coming of age odyssey in my pre-teen years (or lack thereof); and finally, we get into the dawn of movie needle drops and Mike’s apparent hatred of 50s radio hits. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That’ll do it for this episode. Needless to say, Rob Reiner was and is a Hollywood legend, and will continue to delight moviegoers for decades to come. You will be missed.
