Famous Studios Superman - Eleventh Hour

Apocalypse Video ·

2020/04/03

Just when we thought we’d already seen the depths of the Famous Studios era of Superman...we get Eleventh Hour, a flat out propaganda film and arguably the most infamous of the 1940s Superman cartoons. Strap in folks, this one’s going to be brutal. I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as we put on our cringe faces is the ruler of Citadel and an all around good guy (minus the occasional cannibalism -- allegedly!) Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss how the japanese stereotypes have somehow

Famous Studios Superman - Showdown

Apocalypse Video ·

2020/03/28

Well, folks, we’ve made it. After ten installments of the Krypto-Cast, we have finally hit bottom with our eleventh chapter: Showdown - truly the height of mediocrity in a once enjoyable series of cartoon shorts. I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as we both try our best from nodding off is ruler of the wasteland and lover of (good) cartoons, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss a doppelganger plot gone boringly wrong; Superman breaks down a bunch of doors (I know...try to contain your

Famous Studios Superman - The Japoteurs

Apocalypse Video ·

2020/03/21

The Krypto-Cast returns with its tenth installment, and boy...do we miss the Fleischer’s already. That’s right, folks - we are now in the Famous Studios era of Superman, and with it comes an abundance of racism and xenophobia. You know, everything you want your children to see in their cartoons. I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as we collectively facepalm is ruler of the wasteland and fan of (non racist) cartoons, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss the impossibility of a building

Just when you thought you were safe from another convoluted story line...the body count continues! I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as I recount the further adventures of Jason Voorhees are fellow cinephiles and camp counselor trainees Ryan Caldwell, Michael Althouse, and special guest (formally presumed murderer) Mara. Listen as we discuss our childhoods watching horror marathons and scrambled late night porn; we talk about the dangers of skinny dipping in nature; and finally, we share

Cat People (1982)

Apocalypse Video ·

2020/03/05

If my time working at Apocalypse Video has taught me anything, it’s that the answer to most of life’s questions can be found in movies...most of the time, anyway. When it comes to the matter of wanting to transform myself into an animal in order to one-up my ptera-speaking friend, sadly, the movies did not hold the answer I was looking for. Thankfully, while I may not have found a viable transformation guide in 1982’s Cat People, I did manage to discover a bizarre erotic thriller that made me

Max Fleischer's Superman - Terror on the Midway

2020/02/28

It’s the end of an era as the Apocalypse Video Krypto-Cast tackles the ninth and final installment of the Fleischer produced Superman shorts: Terror on the Midway! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we watch a blatant King Kong rip-off is lord of the wasteland, Immortan Hoof! Listen as we discuss what a great night it is for a murder (...or fire, or something); we stare into the abyss that are the creepy doll eyes of Metropolis’ children; and finally, the Fleischer’s give everyone what they

The Beastmaster

Apocalypse Video ·

2020/02/20

As a great Vulcan once said, “Only NIxon could go to China”, or, in this case, “Only Cody could marry a Ptera-person”. That’s right, despite losing an arm to one of the great beasts, Cody has magnanimously tossed aside all anger and past hostilities and has taken a Ptera-woman as his wife. And what better way to celebrate this joyous union than by watching the age old HBO classic The Beastmaster? I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as we throw some children into the sacrificial fire are

2020/02/14

Hey, folks! It’s Dave, your trusty cinephile friend from Sector 2. While we air out the store to ensure a pleasant smelling experience to our customers (see Episode 31) we figured what better time to release another installment of the seventeen part series: The Krypto-Cast! Listen as we begin the descent into the dregs of the Fleischer era Superman shorts; Lois’ inexplicable hatred for Clark gets worse; and finally, Immortan Hoof calls out the dubious morals of Lois Lane (wink, wink).

The Fog (1980)

Apocalypse Video ·

2020/02/08

I’m starting to think our store is cursed. First, a nuclear explosion destroys our Adult Film section, then Chad’s A.I. turns evil and tries to kill us. Now, in what may be the biggest slight yet, our toilet - the only working toilet in all of Sector 2 - is on the fritz. And to add insult to injury, there’s a mysterious and foul smelling fog emanating around the septic tank out back. When will this madness end?! Aside from our extensive collection of Criterion films, the promise of a functioning

The Black Cauldron

2020/01/31

With the unexpected success of Ryan’s recommendation shelf, it was only a matter of time before it caught the attention of everyone’s favorite overlord, Immortan Hoof. Unfortunately for us, we didn’t think to ask the Hoof if he too would like to contribute his movie suggestions to the store, and before we knew it, we had a war party knocking on our door. Thankfully, we have plenty of free shelf space in the building and were more than able to accommodate Mr Hoof’s request (aka: command). I’m your

This looks like a job...for the Krypto-Cast! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we look at the seventh chapter of the Max Fleischer Superman shorts is warlord and fan of cartoons, Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss why every villain lair must have a torture chair; we find out ♪ who lives in a teapot under the sea ♪; and finally, we witness the beginning of Superman phoning it in as he lifelessly delivers his most famous one liner.

The Black Hole

2020/01/16

It’s been almost a month since we witnessed the conclusion of the Star Wars saga, but to be honest, none of us at the store have quite gotten over just how frustrating and disappointing it was. Despite Ryan increasing the amount of Rise of Skywalker Support Group meetings, the general sense of malaise that the movie created continues to run rampant. Thankfully, Ryan isn’t out of ideas yet! Using the power of C.H.A.D., our trusty A.I. and former human friend, Ryan thinks he may have found the

American Graffiti

2020/01/09

After an all-night binge of playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and drinking LiveWire, Ryan and Mike have the genius idea to relive the good ol' days of the early 2000s by building their very own skatepark in the store. So with that and Star Wars still on their minds, the dudes put on a movie that was "waxing nostalgia" even way back in 1973... George Lucas' second film, American Graffiti. I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me on this slow drive through Modesto are fellow cinephiles Ryan Caldwell,

Greetings, wastelanders. This is your trusty host of Apocalypse Video, David Snider. After the tragic events of the last episode (mainly, the disappointing conclusion to the Star Wars series), the crew at Apocalypse Video have decided to take a little time off to recuperate. But don’t worry, we’re not leaving you high and dry. Before leaving to Bartertown to drown our sorrows away with atomic beer, I asked Chad to auto-broadcast the latest installment of our seventeen part series, The

Just when we thought all hope was lost after Santa Claus: The Movie proved to be a less than magical Christmas present, our old friend Cody has returned from his journeys in the Wastes bearing a gift long thought to have been lost to time and legend. And no, i'm not talking about Avatar 2, I'm talkin' Star Wars: Episode IX!!! What treasures does this movie hold? Will Rey finally discover her destiny? Will Kylo return to the good side? Will Finn and Poe finally be allowed to show their true feelings

Well, last week was rough, folks - I'm not going to lie. Losing a friend is always tough, especially when your friend had his head cut off by a psychopathic fan. But nevertheless, we here at Apocalypse Video are dedicated to bringing you the lost art of cinema, 24/7, and I'll be damned if we're going to end up missing our first ever Christmas Special just because of a simple little murder.

Christmas may just be a couple of weeks away, but let's not overlook another equally important holiday...a day that reminds us of Hollywood's lack of originality and a franchise that refused to die (at least until it was rebooted by Michael Bay...). I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me as we take a look back at the creation of one of Cinema's most memorable slashers are fellow cinephiles and Jason-newbies Ryan Caldwell, Michael Althouse, and special guest: Jackie.

The Wasteland can be a scary place. We've all witnessed terrible things out here -- sand dunes swallowing whole caravans of people you love; Ptera-People ripping the limbs off of your best friend; and of course, the scariest of them all, gelatinous balls of goo enveloping your girlfriend after you just made it to second base at Lookout Point. With all of these terrible things lurking the wasteland, safety and awareness is paramount. So, you can imagine my shock when a certain Apocalypse Video

It's hard to believe it's already been two months since the robotic uprising that nearly claimed the lives of everyone at Apocalypse Video. And even though Chad's evil plot was squashed by the triumphant return of Cody, nevertheless, strange things have been occurring in the weeks since (a shared nightmare of forced horror movie watching, for instance...). So it was with that in mind that I decided to run a manual system diagnostic on old Chadwick...and guess what I found? Takeover plots galore! One
