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.

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

The time is May 28th, 1982…Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are on the top of the charts with Ebony and Ivory…and former underdog Sylvester Stallone is about to release a film that will kick off a summer movie season like no other. The film is Rocky III, and it's about to go the distance…NOW!!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we travel back to a summer with virtually nothing but bangers are fellow cinephiles and former prize fighters Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the origin of Mr. T’s famous catch phrase; Rocky III proves once and for all that wrestling is real, damn it!; and finally, Rocky Balboa uses the Homer Simpson strategy of boxing to defeat his most powerful adversary yet.

And with the final bell ringing, we leave Rocky behind to bask in the glory of victory. When we return, we’ll catch up with everyone’s favorite orphan as she sings of the trials of her hard knock life in Annie.

On the final episode of Airpril, Charlie Sheen plays Ditch Brodie, a womanizing, daredevil skydiver, who becomes embroiled in a plot by former KGB agents to steal $600 million dollars in gold designed to save Russia from total economic collapse in the 1994 convoluted mess, Terminal Velocity.

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me as we go for one last low altitude drop is fellow cinephile and Charlie Sheen skeptic, Mike.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Terminal Velocity stacks up against its 1994 skydiving rival, Drop Zone; we try to unravel the mess of a plot involving ex-KGB agents getting up to shenanigans in Tucson; and finally, we wonder why the Skydiving School continues to employ Ditch Brodie as he routinely jeopardizes their livelihoods with his antics.

And thus concludes our flight. We hope you enjoyed your trip through the best (and worst?) of 90s airborne action. We realize that you have many options when it comes to a bunch of white guys talking about movies on a podcast, and we Thank You for flying Apocalypse Video Airlines. Have a Nice Day.

On the third episode of Airpril, U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip is out for revenge for the death of his partner and brother by crazed former DEA Agent Ty Moncrief. But in order to fulfill his vengeance, he’ll have to take to the skies and master the most extreme sport of all in John Badham’s skydiving action thrillride Drop Zone.

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me on this jump are fellow cinephiles and extreme sports fans Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that could be described as “aggressively 90s”; Wesley Snipes can’t decide if his character is John Wick or the comic relief; and finally, Ryan’s journey with this film comes full circle as he regales us with his tale of staying in “The Drop Zone Room” at Las Vegas’s Planet Hollywood.

That will do it for this leg of our Airpril flight through 90’s airborne action. When we return, we’ll be making our final descent as we watch the other skydiving movie of 1994 with the Charlie Sheen neo-noir action flick, Terminal Velocity.

If I’ve learned one thing doing 300 episodes of this show, it’s that you do NOT want to piss off a demented and super jacked Warlord when they come by requesting a special episode of the podcast.

Thankfully, said Warlord’s special request of Zack Snyder’s 300 just so happens to perfectly line up with Apocalypse Video’s 300th episode. I don’t know if that’s divine planning or just super obvious programming on our part, but hey, I’m not going to argue with the Warlord who forced me to record this episode. Anyway, let’s oil up and talk about some good old ancient bloodlust and violence. AROO!! AROO!!!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare for glory are fellow cinephiles and rejected Spartan warriors Ryan, Kara, and Janna, with special guest and Supreme Warlord of the Wasteland: Fridgius.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the messed up childcare system in ancient Sparta; Janna professes her love for “the sexiest sex scene in all of Cinema”; and finally, we talk about the dawn of digital filmmaking, and whether this was the beginning of a bold, new era or the first of many to abandon sets and locations for a lifeless greenscreen alternative.

That will do it for the 300th episode of Apocalypse Video. When we return, we’ll be returning you to your regularly scheduled Airpril inflight programming with Drop Zone.

On the second episode of Airpril, Apocalypse Video puts on some shackles and boards the Jailbird: a specially designed aircraft that houses the sickest, most depraved criminals in the country. But when Cyrus the Virus and his cadre of lunatics hijack the plane, former Army Ranger Cameron Poe must use all the power of his training and his slow motion hair to stop Cyrus and ground Con Air for good.

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me on this flight are my co-pilots and fellow Army Rangers, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the enduring legacy of Con Air, including that magnificent Nicolas Cage hair gif; we dub Cameron Poe’s attorney as Worst Lawyer in All of Alabama; and finally, we get into the proper pronunciation of Buscemi, and why Steve gave up on fighting this losing battle long ago.

That will do it for this leg of our Airpril flight through 90’s airborne action. When we return, we’ll be suiting up with Wesley Snipes for some sky diving thrills as we try our best to avoid going splat in Drop Zone.
