This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Graham “Superman” Mason, and Nick “The Huntress” Friedemann talk Assisted Suicide, which is the name of the next episode of the show and not the actual topic of discussion. Ahh, jokes. It’s like the show gave us a grande in a venti cup but filled it up just a little bit more.
Come with Me if You Want to Live: The 35 Year Legacy of The Terminator
It’s not very often that a film comes along that will launch the career of one of the most financially successful directors of the modern age of cinema. It’s even rarer that it will also make the star of the film a household name, especially with a name that was so difficult to pronounce, he had been told that he would never be a star because of it. But that is exactly what The Terminator did to James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The original idea came from a fever dream James Cameron had in March 1982. Cameron had collapsed onto his bed with a temperature of 102 degrees, and in his sleep he conjured up an image of a chrome skeleton emerging from fire, torn in half and dragging itself across the floor with a kitchen knife. Cameron sketched the image down and one of the first things he thought was how he hadn’t seen anything like that in a movie before. That image then inspired him to start writing a treatment, which was initially just called Terminator. Cameron wanted to appeal to the kids who go to the cinema to see a cool action film, but also the older academics who would think there was some sort of socio-political significance hidden behind all the action: An intelligent Sci-Fi Action film with a stylish slasher-movie edge to it.

4.13: Bright Lights, Dean City
This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick “Superman” Friedemann, and Matt “Manchester Black” Dykes talk “Bright Lights, Dean City” the brother episode to last week’s episode. Short review: Bryan is not a huge fan of it. He just “likes it” like Nick “liked” last week’s episode. At least there are some great recurring gags to make things better.

Episode #276 – Shin Godzilla
We’re back from hiatus and boy have we got the movie to kick off our return. Given that there’s a new godzilla movie on the horizon we thought it would be great to talk about the 2016 Shin Godzilla produced by Toho and Cine Bazar. And what a treat it is. Special thanks to Johnny Recher for joining us to talk about the super fun kaiju flick!

This week on the show Bryan Dressel, Nick “Starman” Friedemann, and Matt “Constantine” Dykes talk one of Graham’s favorite episodes, which is unfortunate timing as Graham couldn’t make it. Darn those jobs! Anyway, this is probably one of the best episodes of the season, or at least a decent episode if you’re Nick. Darn that hat!

RERUN – Ep #202 – Why Don’t You Play In Hell
Howdy folks, Jonathan here with a little update. To give Bryan and Chewie a little more time off I extended the hiatus by a week and went into our back catalog to share one of my favorite episodes of the podcast: Why Don’t You Play In Hell by Japanese filmmaker Sion Sono. On recommendation by Bryan and Chewie and for the podcast I gave this film a shot and it won me over completely with it’s black comedy and excessive violence. I hope you check it out!
