While there are new movies that are fun and enjoyable, they just don‘t have the same impact as the Action and Horror Movies we remember as kids/teenagers. So we figured we were not alone in our nostalgia and created a podcast to entertain people who feel the same as us. We will talk about what made certain movies so memorable. We will talk about a movie so cheesy but still makes us smile. We will share a memory of watching a movie for the first time.

Even though Pete's not a fan of the genre, he still has a fun talking about this film with Charlie and Dawn of the Dead SUPERFAN Anna. The message of the film wasn't lost on any of us and still hauntingly relevant to this day. It's always a good time when Tom Savini shows up in a gore-filled movie especially when he does the FX. The films short com…

I'm not sure how to show my love for this film. It did so much for my love of cinematic diversity. Watching kung-fu movies on TBS or USA or whatever was always a treat but I had not idea what was going on or if there was a plot. Kill Bill became a widely loved film of cinephiles who gushed over the camera action and the screenplay. At the time, I h…

I won't say horror was dead in 1996 but it clearly had become stale and good scares with compelling stories were hard to come by.
