The Review Review

We, and returning guest (not Lance) voice actor/trivia master/damn fine human being Chris Olds have all been replaced with beta units, and are off to adventure with "The Last Starfighter" (Dir. Nick Castle 1984). Starring: Lance Guest, Dan O'Herlihy, and Catherine Mary Stewart. Was this entire thing not only a test for "Starfighters," but movie effects as we know them? If you don't read everything on screen, how will you know your "Life. As a House?" And how aliens aren't the only ones that are gnarly from the eyebrows up. Plot: High schooler Alex Rogan conquers the Starfighter video game, only to find out it was just a test, and is transported to another planet. He has been recruited to join a team of the best starfighters to defend their world from the attack.Recorded 4/231hr 50mins**All episodes contain explicit language**Artwork - Ben McFaddenReview Review Intro/Outro Theme - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching" Theme - Matthew Fosket"Fun Facts" Theme - Chris Olds/Paul RootLead-Ins Edited/Conceptualized by - Ben McFaddenProduced by - Ben McFadden & Paul RootConcept - Paul Root

Tim McCanlies 2003) Starring Michael Caine, Robert Duvall, Haley Joel Osment, and of course, Nicky friggin' Katt.

Award winning Director (Tim Travers & the Time Traveler's Paradox), writer, producer, actor, illustrator, PNW person, and ten-year veteran of the indie scene, Stimson Snead (Mr. Snead appears courtesy of Skyline Wine) prepares for inevitable bed sores as we tuck in for his choice "Bubba Ho-Tep" (2003 ((wide)) Dir. Don Coscarelli) Starring: Bruce Campbell, and Ossie Davis. You should be sold by the title of this movie alone, but if on top of that, the plot didn't sell you (I weep), we go DEEP into the annals of the past, present, and future, to uncover the secrets of this not often seen horror/comedy. We spend time examining the social impact and nuance of "The Minions," franchise. We take a look at the incredible Bruce Campbell oeuvre. And we make a case for "Dorff Lundgren" as Elvis, based on his look as the original Frank Castle for the screen alone.Plot: When residents of their nursing home start dying of dubious causes, an aged Elvis and an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy discover that the perpetrator is an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions.Recorded 2/241hr 59mins**All episodes contain explicit language**Artwork - Ben McFaddenReview Review Intro/Outro Theme - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching" Theme - Matthew Fosket"Fun Facts" Theme - Chris Olds/Paul RootLead-Ins Edited/Conceptualized by - Ben McFaddenProduced by - Ben McFadden & Paul RootConcept - Paul Root
