Ep. 194: THIRST CONTACT
29 juli 2026 · 2 uur 28 min
Hard to say what connects these three films with each other. I mean, other than the fact that they're all about sexy rampaging predator alien ladies who are constantly naked—a superficial connection, at best. They all take place in the northern hemisphere, that's gotta count for something, right? Lees meer

Put down that joystick! What if I told you there was a kind of video game that you can play without having to do anything at all?

Ep. 187: NUKES OF HAZARD
18 maart 2026 · 2 uur 35 min

Ep. 182: ANIMAL HOUSE (Correct Version!)
9 januari 2026 · 2 uur 27 min

Ep. 180: TRAPPY HOLIDAYS
10 december 2025 · 2 uur 28 min
Christmas is famously a depressing holiday for some folks. The main reason for this, we think, is because it's the time of year when people get trapped in ice-cold confined spaces by psychos and/or pure human incompetence. Lees meer

12 november 2025 · 2 uur 23 min
Several people may have heard of the first Relentless film, which raked in nearly 7 million dollars in box office receipts in the late 80's.

17 september 2025 · 2 uur 32 min
