  1. Back to the Beach

    Jun 22

    Back to the Beach

    Surf's up and the nostalgia tide is rolling in! This week we're diving headfirst into the sun-soaked, beach-party madness of Back to the Beach (1987), the hilarious throwback that reunited Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello for one last ride on the waves. From outrageous musical numbers and celebrity cameos to over-the-top 80s humor, we're breaking down everything that makes this cult classic a gnarly good time. Grab your sunscreen, wax up your surfboard, and join us as we catch a wave of nostalgia, laugh at the ridiculousness, and decide whether this beach blanket revival still hangs ten nearly four decades later. Spoiler alert: there may be more puns than grains of sand on the beach!

  2. Wes Craven's New Nightmare

    Jun 16

    Wes Craven's New Nightmare

    One, two... we're reviewing for you! This week, we step back into Elm Street to tackle Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the film that dared to blur the lines between horror and reality long before it was cool. Freddy Krueger is back, but this time he's escaped the movie screen and is stalking the very people who brought him to life. Join us as we dive into the meta-horror masterpiece that paved the way for Scream, discuss Robert Englund's terrifying new look, and debate whether this is the smartest entry in the entire Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. We'll unpack the scares, the story, the behind-the-scenes twists, and why Freddy may have never been more dangerous than when he stopped playing by the rules. So grab your coffee, stay awake, and don't fall asleep before listening—because Freddy might be waiting on the other side of your podcast app. We mentioned this on the video.....Dylan's Nightmare.

    Scary Movie 6 (SPOILERS!!)

    Grab your popcorn, lock your doors, and prepare for a comedy-horror massacre as we dive headfirst into Scary Movie 6! We're slicing through the gags, dodging the jump scares, and trying to figure out how many horror franchises got caught in the parody crossfire this time around. From outrageous spoofs and ridiculous cameos to jokes that hit harder than a masked killer with Wi-Fi, we're breaking down everything this sequel brings to the scream table. Join us as we separate the killer laughs from the dead-on-arrival punchlines, uncover hidden references, and ask the important questions—like who keeps giving Ghostface everyone's phone number? Whether you're a horror fanatic, a comedy junkie, or just here for the absurdity, this review is packed with laughs, spoilers, and enough bad decisions to fill an entire horror movie. Consider this your warning: spoilers are loose, and they're coming from inside the podcast!

    Masters of the Universe (SPOILERS!!)

    By the power of podcasting, we have the review!

  7. The Mandalorian and Grogu (Spoilers!!)

    The Mandalorian and Grogu (Spoilers!!)

    This week on the pod, we’re going full hyperspace into the spoiler-filled chaos of The Mandalorian & Grogu! From Grogu stealing snacks faster than Han Solo making bad decisions, to Mando proving once again that “This Is The Way” really means “I’m adopting every kid in the galaxy,” we break down every blaster shot, lightsaber tease, and deep-cut Easter egg hidden tighter than Palpatine’s backup cloning budget. We catch references to everything from The Empire Strikes Back and Rebels to the Holiday Special nobody admits exists… but Disney definitely remembers. We also talk about that wild cameo that hit harder than a Wookiee body slam, the return of classic Star Wars creatures that looked like they escaped Mos Eisley at closing time, and whether Grogu is secretly becoming the galaxy’s smallest crime boss. Plus: Pedro Pascal’s helmet gets more screen time than some MCU heroes, the soundtrack slaps harder than a Tusken Raider ambush, and somebody PLEASE explain how Din Djarin still has functioning knees after all those jetpack landings. So grab your blue milk, avoid the Sarlacc pit of online spoilers, and join us as we laugh, rant, and fanboy our way through a galaxy far, far away. Warning: spoilers are flying around this episode faster than an X-Wing trench run — and unlike Stormtroopers, we actually hit our targets.

  8. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

    May 19

    A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

    Grab your caffeine, stay awake, and join us as we dive headfirst into A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors — the movie that asked, “What if therapy… but Freddy Krueger showed up with one-liners?” We’re breaking down the dream powers, the gloriously over-the-top kills, and why this may be the only horror movie where a sleep study doubles as a body count. From Patricia Arquette battling Freddy before she was talking to dead people on TV, to Dokken delivering a theme song louder than Freddy scraping pipes down a hallway, we’re covering all the nightmare fuel with plenty of laughs mixed in. So put on your dream helmets, avoid suspiciously creepy janitors, and remember: in this podcast review, the only thing getting slashed harder than Freddy’s victims is our sleep schedule.
