    The Secret of Nimh (1982)

    Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse… This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?The date is July 2nd, 1982. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's "Ebony and Ivory" has finally been overtaken in the Billboard charts by The Human League's "Don't You Want Me?", and an animated film from Don Bluth is about to hit theaters and show us what one Mother Mouse is capable of when her little son Timothy is sick. The film...is The Secret of Nimh. And it's about to be revealed...now! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we pump some experimental brain juice into our veins are fellow cinephiles Mike, Ryan, and Jackie. Topics of discussion in this episode include a look into the weird and colorful world of Don Bluth and his journey from Disney employee to the brief King of traditional animation; we try to understand the power of the Amulet (aka: unspecified Macguffin); and finally, we take a look at The Secret of Nimh’s ill conceived straight to video sequel and it’s unfortunate Disney-fication.

When we return we’ll be getting pixelated as we enter the grid and go lightcycling with the one and only Tron. See you then, programs!

Eye of the Tiger is holding steady on the charts at #8. And a film from Burt Reynolds's old buddy, Hal Needham, is about to light up the screen with some rocket propelled motorcycles. The film...is Megaforce. And it's about to para-drop...now! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we light up some multicolored smoke and ride our rocketbikes across the desert are fellow cinephiles and soldiers of fortune Mike and Jackie. Topics of discussion in this episode include the low bar of knowing what is happening in a movie (a feat that Megaforce does not achieve); Barry Bostwick leaves little to the imagination as he models the tightest jumpsuits put to screen; and finally, we bask in the awesome grandeur that is Introvision and the climax that spawned one of the all time great Gifs.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we spend the rest of this episode tied to this fucking couch is fellow cinephile and possible alien imitation, Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the weak stomachs of audiences in 1982; we make a case for the inclusion of dogs in the Best Supporting Actor Oscar category; and finally, we pour one out for John Carpenter circa 1982 and what should have been immediately hailed as his masterpiece of horror.
