  • 78. Forgotten Christmas Movies: Blast of Silence

    01:16:23||Ep. 78
    Sam is annoyed that we even did this movie and spends more time talking about He-Man and Johnny Mnemonic, but Jason loved it.
  • 77. Sometime Directors: The Dark Side of the Moon

    01:07:17||Season 9, Ep. 77
    This one's Event Horizon BEFORE Event Horizon?!? It's not a good movie (unlike Event Horizon), but we still have lots to talk about here.
  • 76. Sometime Directors: Hickey & Boggs

    01:06:00||Season 9, Ep. 76
    Fun fact from Sam: Director Robert Culp shares a birthday with Cash of Tango and Cash fame. I'm sure you're better for knowing that. This one's an interesting time capsule that Jason enjoyed a fair bit more than Sam.
  • 75. Sometime Directors: The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires

    01:02:25||Season 9, Ep. 75
    Sam makes rules onto to break them. Neither director on this movie is a "sometime", but it's fun to see the Shaw Brothers team up with Hammer Films.
  • 74. Sometime Directors: The Resurrected

    01:16:42||Season 9, Ep. 74
    We watched this Dan O'Bannon-directed Lovecraft story because Sam wouldn't let Jason pick Return of the Living Dead.
  • 73. Sometime Directors: Phase IV

    01:30:46||Season 9, Ep. 73
    This week we take a look at Sal Bass' only feature as a director: Phase IV. Bass is an artistic genius, and this is not the movie you might think it is from the poster. Also, Sam's still mad about Time After Time.
