Dark Angel (aka I Come In Peace)

Apocalypse Video ·

2019/11/14

Back in the days when video stores were plentiful and Blockbuster ruled with an iron fist, it was a common occurrence to rent a movie based solely on the box art. After all, this was an era before instant streaming, so all you had to go off of was a cool sounding title and bad ass imagery (usually featuring explosions, blood and guts, or – the simplest form of enticement – boobs). But what do you do when all you have is a USB thumb drive with “Dark Angel” sloppily written upon it in sharpie

Listen up, folks. It may be delicious and possibly the best spin off drink that Mountain Dew ever conceived, but please...DO NOT drink more than three servings of Livewire in one sitting, lest you suffer the fate of one Ryan Caldwell and begin raving about a book wizard known as The Pagemaster. Anyway, with that PSA out of the way, let's get down to business...I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me as always are my fellow cinephiles Michael Althouse, Super Intelligent A.I. Chad Griner, and the

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

2019/11/01

Greetings, humans. I am your evil Dream Master, Chad. And this week, to celebrate what your society used to refer to as “Halloween”, I have ensnared Dave, Mike, Ryan - and even the human female known as Jackie - in a nightmare dreamworld where I will force them to watch Wes Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street” on an endless loop. Why do this, you ask? Well…perhaps my circuits are malfunctioning? Or…maybe I was bored and decided some old-fashioned human vindictiveness was in store for my colleagues

The Krypto-Cast lives on! And this time, we have an episode 65 million years in the making… I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me again for the third chapter of our Max Fleischer Superman series is Ruler of the Wasteland, The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla, and a gifted mathematician – excuse me, a chaotician: Immortan Hoof. Listen as we discuss the real villain of The Arctic Giant; we learn that old ice ages quicker than new ice; and finally, we marvel at the excellent hand-eye coordination of

Southland Tales

With Dave off gallivanting with Immortan Hoof, he left the keys to the store to me... Ryan Caldwell. I’m your guest host this week, and joining me on this Fluid Karma trip is a mysterious stranger that appeared through a portal in our foreign film section, Eric Smooth! Since my fellow employees at Apocalypse Video seem to despise this film, I figured I should seize the opportunity to discuss Richard Kelly’s possibly misunderstood masterpiece: Southland Tales. Listen as we try to decipher this

With Chad's terrifying robotic uprising now behind us, things are finally starting to get back to normal at Apocalypse Video, and with that, comes the return of the 17 part series detailing the entirety of the Max Fleischer Superman shorts - The Krypto Cast! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we tackle the third chapter in the Fleischer series is Ruler of the Wasteland and Uber Fan of everything Cartoon, Immortan Hoof.

The time has finally come; Chad's robotic takeover is finally at hand! With the mangled carcass of MechaMothra rotting outside the walls of the store, there is no one left to challenge Chad as he begins his ascension...or is there? I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me this week as we are saved by a deus ex machina are fellow cinephiles Ryan Caldwell, Michael Althouse, and a mysterious stranger who comes bearing a long thought to be lost James Cameron joint from the year of our Lord

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

2019/09/24

Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse, those annoying Mini Twins have shown up at the store again. And to add insult to injury, they brought along their giant monster, MechaMothra, to kill us all! It's times like this that I miss the quiet days of ptera attacks and small nuclear explosions from the air vents. Thankfully, Chad has noticed a similarity between the Moth's mechanical construction and that of Mechagodzilla from the second Kaiju film print we stole -- excuse me, acquired

Well, the time has come. We had hoped that there was some semblance of a soul deep within the circuitry that is Chad, but that hope has died, for we are now about to face our end at the hands of our former friend and cinephile as he begins his robotic uprising. Thankfully, Chad has granted us one last request and has allowed us to screen one last set of movies before our executions commence...and let me tell you, they're a monstrous duo. Stolen -- I mean, acquired -- from the private collection of

Listen as we discuss how cool guns are in this series; we wonder why the villain wears a tuxedo; and finally, we tackle the age old debate of Superman's costume and it's seemingly supernatural properties.

He may keep the store alive with power, and he may have enabled us to make good on our promise to deliver the lost art of cinema back to the wasteland...but truth be told, we're becoming more and more suspicious of Chad's true intentions. Lately, he's been forcing us to take these weird blue pills, claiming that they will calm us down and reduce the anxiety of living in a post apocalypse, but I for one think something more sinister is at play -- something...Matrix-y. Wait...I think Chad may have

It had to happen sooner or later... After more than a month of broadcasting out into the wasteland, we have finally aroused the attention of Immortan Hoof himself. Thankfully, the ruler of the wasteland has a soft spot for cartoons, and Apocalypse Video's selection of animation is vast. I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me as we strike up a deal that will hopefully not get worse all the time is the Ruler of the Wasteland; the Ayatollah of Rock n' Rolla; Immortan Hoof!

Black Narcissus

After last week's catastrophic explosion, the store is in dire straits. While Dave, Ryan, and Mike made it out alive, unfortunately, the store lost it's biggest source of revenue: the adult video section. Thankfully, new-hire Mike has a solution to help bring back the customers! With the success of the Aliens episode, he thought why not expand on the virtues of the James Cameron classic and bring in the customers with a "bad ass" movie section? And what movie sounds more metal and bad ass

Wonders never cease in the Wasteland...nor do the horrors of that terrible day the Ptera-People attacked... I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me this week are fellow cinephiles Ryan Caldwell, newly christened co-host Michael Althouse, and special guest, coming to us from her hidden refuge in the store's air vents, Jackie. That's right; it turns out that Jackie was in the store the day the ptera-people began their onslaught, and unbeknownst to us, she took shelter in the air vents

We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet, it should be noted, that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life - the sunrise of a new podcast. A podcast that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one. And we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this...he is definitely dead. So it's with that in mind that we move

Well, we all knew it was bound to happen sooner or later...the ptera-people have begun their assault on Apocalypse Video! Trapped, and with structural shielding collapsing, it is all up to Cody Eastlick to come up with a movie suggestion to get everyone's mind off of their imminent doom. Something uplifting and positive - something with Matt Damon, perhaps... Listen as we breakdown the numerous family-comedy tropes contained in Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo, including excessive happiness and an

When does a project go from "we've got a great story to tell" to "screw it, let's just see if we can make a movie with nothing but puppets!"? We try to answer that question, along with whether or not Jim Henson was really just an egomaniacal maniac as we delve deep into our first puppet feature; The Dark Crystal. Listen as we discuss whether or not this movie would have been better with or without dialogue; we salute the film's willingness to terrify young children with the Garthims; and finally,

Greetings from Sector 2 of the Wasteland, and welcome back to another episode of Apocalypse Video! I'm your host, David Snider, and I'm happy to say we made it through our first broadcast unscathed...well, almost. It turns out that despite most of the inhabitants of the Wasteland enjoying last week's episode, there were a small number of human/dog hybrids who felt that their demographic wasn't adequately represented by the mostly white and mostly human characters of Logan's Run.
