What if Godzilla was recast in 2007?

Set your nostalgia beams to 1998 because we're about to take you on a rollercoaster ride back to the year of Roland Emmerich's 'Godzilla,' the infamous  film that stomped its way into our hearts— or did it trample our expectations? Nick, joined by Aly and Ash, crack open the time capsule of cinematic history and reimagine the much maligned monster movie in the landscape of 2007. We'll unravel the enigmatic legacy of the original, from its marketing frenzy to the subsequent cultural waves it created—and yes, we'll even address the not-so-glowing review by Roger Ebert who found himself in the middle of a meta-fictional jab.

Remember when movies came with their own cereal? 'Godzilla' did, and we're spilling all the surprisingly delightful and cringe-inducing details. With Aly and Ash's fresh takes, we venture into an alternate universe where 'Godzilla' gets a 2007 makeover. What if the film shared the marquee with the likes of "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country for Old Men"? We'll sift through the talent pool of 2007 to find the perfect ensemble. It's a mix of wit and wisdom as we evaluate the impact of the film on its original actors and ponder who could have brought new life to the iconic roles.

 So, whether you're a fan of the film or just here for the laughs, prepare yourself for a podcast that's as entertaining as it is enlightening. Get ready to see 'Godzilla' in a whole new light—or should we say, in the glow of another decade?

What if '3:10 to Yuma' was recast in 1976?

Ever wondered how the dusty trails and lawless landscapes of a Western classic like "3:10 to Yuma" would fare against the disco-drenched backdrop of 1976? Saddle up with Cory, Nick, and Aly as they reimagine this modernized western in an era of auteurs and gritty, harsh truths. We're deep-diving into a decade of film that was ripe for a different kind of outlaw—an examination of the Western genre through the lens of a transformative year in cinema.

From the cultural shockwaves of "All the President's Men" to the underdog story that punched its way to our hearts in "Rocky," we draw parallels, conjure up hypotheticals, and highlight the performances that defined 1976. Our journey through the tumbleweeds isn't just about casting cowboys and gun-slinging galas; it's a salute to the icons of an era and the stories they told.

 So grab your Stetson and join us for a ride through the old West, reimagined through the gritty prism of the '70s—it's an episode that promises no ghostbusting, but plenty of spurs and speculation.

Could the "Leprechaun" movie franchise actually serve up a more twisted St. Patrick's Day than a pint of green beer? Brace yourselves for Cory and Nick's riotous romp through the cult classic series that's as unpredictable as the Irish weather. 

This episode is all about playing "Marry, Sex, Kill" with the mischievously murderous Leprechaun films. Join us as we choose which installment to wed for eternity (The Best), which to indulge in for a single night (Guilty Pleasure), and which one deserves a swift end (The Worst). We even toss in a feisty debate over the Boondock Saints and ponder the endless trek of the Walking Dead series, with no sacred shamrocks left unturned.

Nostalgia abounds as we reminisce about Jennifer Aniston's pre-Friends brush with the Leprechaun, marveling at the film's evolution from a potential kids' movie to R-rated horror. We crack up over the series' zigzagging plots and on-the-spot myth-making, while giving a nod to actors who've come to embrace these quirky early roles in their glittering careers. From Vegas ventures and Martian princess escapades to the chaotic charm of "Leprechaun in the Hood," we've got enough laughs to fill a pot o' gold.

Finally, we wrap our chat with a lively discussion about the impact of horror genre shifts on our beloved Leprechaun and his slasher film brethren. Whether you've seen every film or just need a good chuckle, this episode is your four-leaf clover in the podcasting field. So, grab your greenest garb, pour yourself something strong, and prepare to be entertained!

Fasten your proton packs and prepared to be slimed as Cory and Nick dissect the underappreciated sequel, "Ghostbusters II." On this minisode, in anticipation(?) of Ghostbusters: Frozen Kingdom, we peel back the curtain on the fall from grace of our beloved specter-hunters, reflecting the actors' own real-life arcs as Cory states his case to Nick of why this sequel is superior to the 1984 original (which Nick disagrees with). With sharp insights and a few laughs, we reveal how the sequel's narrative cleverly dances with the decade's cultural heartbeat, connecting dots that only a true fan—or a keen new viewer—could spot.

End your ghost-hunting expedition with a debate that has echoed through the ages: Can the sequel's soundtrack possibly outshine Ray Parker Jr.'s iconic anthem? As we weigh the cultural clout and chart-topping triumphs of both tunes, we also consider the underappreciated depths of "Ghostbusters II." We salute Bill Murray's enigmatic approach to life that bleeds into every role, from zany paranormal investigator to the reflective characters he portrays in later films. With spirits high and PKE meters off the charts, we close the trap on an episode that's as much about the phenomenon of Ghostbusters as it is a toast to Murray's indelible mark on the silver screen.
