    Episode 248 - Sweet T
    Feb 21 2026
    Episode 248 is our annual, Black History Month show. We look at a couple of VERY different, but equally badass lead actors who are fed up with the man and push back...hard! We start off with the legendary "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" from 1971. The brainchild of multi-hyphenate Melvin Van Peebles, it follows the eponymous character around as he settles some hash, and avoids arrest, with help from the community. It's brave, shocking, psychadelic stuff. It does have some questionable material in spots, but you can't deny the artistic impact of the message. We follow that with 1972's "Trouble Man", starring the incredible Robert Hooks as "Mister T", who is settling scores in the neighborhood and runs afoul of a wealthy criminal overlord. It drips with coolness and is really well made and we can not recommend it highly enough.

    Episode 247 - Riotage
    Jan 17 2026
    Welcome to 2026 and another fun year in the cave! We are looking at two films from PM Entertainment, who produced a string of action movies starting in the 90s. Both films star Gary Daniels and are directed by Joseph Merhi, and they share many other actors including a fun reporter charcter played by Kenneth Tigar. We start off with "Rage" from 1995. This is the story of an elementary school teacher who finds himself injected with a type of super-soldier serum that turns him into an unstoppable fighting machine. It's essentially an extended chase scene and is very entertaining despite some flaws. We follow that up with "Riot" from 1996. The focus this time is a former soldier who's trying to rescue a diplomat's daughter who he, coincidentally, used to date. It's a reworking of "Escape from New York" and is also very entertaining, with some standout set-pieces and very fun performances throughout. We recommend both of these, and are eager to dip back into the PM Entertainment pool in the future!

  • Episode 245 - Blood Passers 2

    Episode 245 - Blood Passers 2
    Dec 6 2025
    Episode 245 is focused on two sequels from the early 90's. We start off with 1993's "Pumpkinhead 2" where they bring back the monster from Stan Winston's original movie for a whole new story of small-town revenge. It's not as good as the original, but it has enough cheesy fun torecommend it. We follow that with "Gate 2" from 1990, which is a much more successful follow-up. Picking up where the first film left off, the story follows a young wannabe warlock who gets involved in all sorts of black magic. It's a great example of enthusiastic low-budget filmmaking, and we totally recommend it.

  • Episode 244 - What Scares You Vol. 5 - Creepy Crawlies

    Episode 244 - What Scares You Vol. 5 - Creepy Crawlies
    Nov 1 2025
    Our Halloween tradition continues with another look at "What Scares You?". This time it's those terrible little skittering creatures that make us jump and recoil, the infamous "creepy crawlies"!!! We have a couple of movies from different eras that both feature multi-legged monsters. From way back in 1975 comes "Bug" from genre stalwart Jeannot Szwarc. It's a surprisingly bleak and rough film, with giant cockroaches that can start fires. Many people fall victim to them and the lead character, played by the legendary Bradford Dilman is driven slowly insane as he studies them. This is good pulpy stuff. We follow that with 2012's "The Bay" from director Barry Levinson. This is a really cool twist on the "Found Footage" genre, mixing together lots of different found-footaged to tell the story of a bay that is overrun by carnivorous isopods. Everything about this one is excellent and it is a truly unique framework to tell a story. Send us an email to let us know what scares YOU!
