    The Thing (1982)

    This week we look back at John Carpenter's horror classic The Thing. This movie had the unfortunate timing of releasing two weeks after E.T. in June of 1982. Considered frightening, horrifying, and repellent at the time, it would go on to become a cult hit on home video and is now regarded as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Recently, it also had the honor of being added to the National Film Registry for preservation at the Library of Congress for its cultural, historic and aesthetic importance. Join us as we discuss the impact this movie had and how it holds up today. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-thing-1982--69862454 #horror #movie #film #80s #johncarpenter #kurtrussell #thething #Thing #alien #monster #winter #Antarctica #thaw #glacier #bleak #snow #ufo  New Generation Video t-shirts in stock!

    Clash of the Titans (2010)

    This week we look back at the 2010's Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson. This contentious remake of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen classic sparked a lot of debate upon release with fans of the original film, but found its own audience with a younger generation that grew up playing God of War games on Playstation. Join us as we discuss film and let us know what you think in the comments below. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/clash-of-the-titans-2010--69571657 #clashofthetitans #2010 #action #Greek #mythology #perseus #samworthington #avatar #ralphfiennes #hewhomustnotbenamed #harrypotter #liamneeson #quigonjinn #starwars #kraken #releasethekraken #kratos #godofwar #medusa #playstation

    Bad Taste

    This week we look back at Sir Peter Jackson's 1987 debut film Bad Taste. Blending dark comedy, science fiction, horror and action, this independent feature film was shot on a shoestring budget over a four year period. The story revolves around a small paramilitary force that has to stop aliens from harvesting people for their intergalactic fast food franchise. Its as wacky as it sounds, and worth checking out if you're curious about how Peter Jackson got started in filmmaking before going on to create the epic Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. #Peterjackson #nz #newzealand #horror #indie #80s #lotr #lordoftherings #franwalsh #bad #taste #badtaste #alien #aliens #invasion #sirpeterjackson #film #movie #podcast

    This week we discuss 2005's stoner comedy Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny, starring Jack Black and Kyle Gass. This movie was a favorite of Rett's back in the day, but Wes hasn't seen it since release. How does it hold up almost 20 years later? Is it a product of its time or has become a quotable classic?
