One could argue that few film franchises are more polarizing among horror fans than the HALLOWEEN series and of the installments featuring Michael Myers, it is HALLOWEEN II that is, perhaps, the most controversial. Considered by some to be a worthy follow-up to its now legendary predecessor and by others to be a steamy pile […]

The boys are once again out and about (or are they?) — this time in a diner (really?). The wits of Pod get down and dirty to talk about animated films, Dion gushes over Kevin Cabbagepatch (?) while Brian cheats on with his wife! J. also takes the time to plug just about everything under the […]

The three amigos break new ground, exploring the JFK assassination and Ed and Keenan Wynn; then digress into such normalities as vintage comic book stores, 80’s action movies and the out-of-date Eastern European Terrorist plot device, before rounding out the chat with hand surgery and good old Grover and John Wayne Gacy references. Fun for […]

The good folks at Eon Productions have been the caretakers of the James Bond franchise, through thick and VERY thin for almost 50 years. Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig… These names roll off the tongue rather easily as all being the aliases of 007. Thanks to the” miracle” […]
