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 June 4th, 1982. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are still on top of the charts with "Ebony and Ivory". And a film from Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg is about to shake up suburbia with some pesky ghosts and good old fashioned TV static.

The film...is Poltergeist. And they're hereeee...Now!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we get ready to move into Phase IV of Cuesta Verde are fellow cinephiles and poltergeist hauntees Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the charming nostalgia of 1982 suburbia, including a kids room completely decked out in Star Wars merch; Craig T. Nelson shows us the horrors of old school “clicker” remotes; and finally, we get into the Curse of Poltergeist and the film’s enduring legacy…and how this curse may have just affected this very podcast…

And as the Freeling family escapes Cuesta Verde (only to be haunted again four years later by a scary Quaker man) we too must leave the scary world of 80s Suburbia behind and go down south - waaaay south - to the frozen landscape of Antarctica. When Where Were You In ‘82 returns, we’ll be amping up the paranoia and practical fx with John Carpenter’s The Thing.

This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?

The date is May 21st, 1982. The theme for Chariots of Fire is climbing the charts as it inspires a generation of parody videos...and a little drama about 50s nostalgia is about to open wide and let the boomers relive their glory days.

The film...is Diner. And it's open for business...Now!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we order another batch of gravy fries are fellow cinephiles and Diner regulars Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include Mickey Rourke paving the way in the 50’s for 80’s style hairdos; we debate the proper way to organize a record collection; and finally, we discover the origin of the “Dick in a Popcorn Bucket” gag, and whether or not Diner can claim it did it first.

And as the boys of Diner realize their best years were spent watching some guy eat a whole restaurant’s menu, we too must leave the 50’s behind and return to the 80’s to rid a house in the suburbs of some pesky ghosts with Tobe Hooper’s, Poltergeist. See you then.

This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?

The date is May 21st 1982. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are tearing up the Billboard charts with “I Love Rock and Roll”, and a rambunctious little redhead is about to light up the box office, as she regales us with the details…of her hard knock life.

The film…is Annie. And it's only…a podcast away.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we all go to the movies are fellow orphans Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the strange and unhinged experience that is watching Annie while high on an edible; Mike provides a public service by advising the public not to take booze baths; and finally, Annie helps enact The New Deal through the power of Song.

And as Annie celebrates her new life with the filthy rich Daddy Warbucks, we bid farewell to everyone’s favorite orphan and jump ahead a couple of decades as we wax nostalgic about the good old days. When we return, we’ll be downing baskets of gravy fries and (almost) getting into extra marital affairs with Barry Levinson’s Diner.
