Rankin/Bass Assemble! The conclusion of at least three trilogies at the same time (Rudolph, Frosty, Mickey Rooney's Santa Claus, and possibly Jack Frost), Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1979) is in many ways the Endgame of the Rankin/Bass multiverse.In it, we see the Cosmic Forces at play in Rudolph's origin story and how this lynchpin of the multiverse must go to war to reclaim his hero status (and save a cowgirl's circus)! We also see Old Man Frosty willing to give up his

2025/12/01

After 4 movies with the lovable Jason (and his mother), the Friday the 13th franchise decided to go in a bold new direction and begin what would become a new trilogy of films.The result? This movie was so bad, and people were so disappointed, that the "new beginning" only lasted one movie. Jason returned in Part 6!So, while we don't necessarily recommend watching this movie, come join us as we discuss Friday the 13th, Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)!

2025/11/21

While Michael Myers makes a cameo appearance in this movie as an actor (they play the original movie in the background!), the Shape as a force to be reckoned with is nowhere to be found in the third installment of the franchise.Instead, we get the tale of an Irish witch sacrificing millions of children to the season of Winter by using trick-of-treating masks empowered by dust from Stonehenge via hidden microchips. Get all that? Welcome to Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982)!

Directed by the great Wes Craven, Swamp Thing (1982) is a hard-to-find cult classic that follows the adventures of mad scientist Anton Arcane as he chases down a magic formula that has transformed Dr. Alec Holland into Swamp Thing!Swamp Thing also protects (and stares at) government agent Alice Cable as she is on the run from Arcane also.

Join us as we look at the double-episode TV pilot of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which aired from 1993-1997. While the plot is a little all-over-the-place in the pilot, we get to see what many would argue is the collectively best cast in the history of Superman, including Dean Cain (Superman), Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane), Lane Smith (Perry White), and John Shea (Lex Luthor).Look up!

Welcome back to the conclusion of the Christopher Reeve's Superman era! Not counting the horrid spiritual successor, Superman Returns, of course.Featuring the returning Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), this movie sees Superman take over the world! Not really, but Superman does try to force the end of the nuclear age, and what could go wrong with that?Plus, we get what could have been a really cool villain (Nuclear Man).

And now for something completely different...While not well received by Superfandom, we argue that compared to many 1980s films, Superman III (1983) has aged like a fine wine. Where else can you get Richard Pryor as a mad scientist (of sorts), the prototype for Zach Snyder's Superman, the first (unofficial) Brainiac, and a rude Superman who throws beer nuts?Come join the fun with Superman III.

2025/07/28

Intended as a legacy sequel to Superman I and II, Superman returns to earth after abandoning the earth and a pregnant Lois for 5 years! Working under the assumption she still received the kiss of amnesia, you would think this would set up an interesting plot for a movie, but...not so much.Thankfully, this podcast is significantly shorter than the runtime of Superman Returns (2006)!
