La realidad siempre supera a la ficción. Cuando te aconsejan tener provisiones para tres días, una linterna con dinamo, una radio a pilas y, para colmo, pastillas de yodo, sabes que estamos más cerca de un futuro sacado de Cyborg, aquella joya de la Cannon dirigida por Albert Pyun. Todo apunta a que acabaremos como slingers, como Jean-Claude Van Damme esquivando a Fender en un mundo devastado. Y sí, fue él quien, sin saberlo, acuñó nuestro eslogan: La miseria me encanta. En la mojiganga de hoy, exploraremos este y otros despropósitos de la humanidad: más profetas vendiéndote fórmulas mágicas para hacerte rico, falsos amigos en el mundo del aceite de ricino, intoxicaciones de mercurio por atún y muchas miserias más. Bienvenido a este viaje de miseria aural, diseñado para elevarte—o hundirte—a la categoría de ser de luz. ¿Sobrevivirá a esta mojiganga sin perder más puntos de cordura? Solo hay una forma de saberlo... ¡Que empiece el caos!

The year is 2027. Cyborgs roam the streets of the America/Japan Corporate Union. The Red Army Hammerheads, a cyborg separatist group plans... a murder of some kind? And only Alex Rain, who is also a cyborg, but not as much of a cyborg as the other ones, is the only man/83% cyborg, who can stop... the cyborgs, who we think might be 100% cyborg, but that would make them robots. We can't be sure, but the sunglasses and trench coats are defiantly a vibe. ANYWAY.... Join the boys as they try to decipher a movie that we know, for sure, is a 1992 cyberpunk action film directed by the great Albert Pyun, starting Oliver (pronounced Olivie-ay) Gruner, that was once described as "A story told by an 8 year old that had reached into a bag of sci-fi tropes from the 80's, and is just making it up as he goes along" by one of the hosts of this podcast. "Nemesis" can be seen in full, for free, on Youtube. Watch along with us so that you too, can be "State of the Fucking Art".

"I'M GOING TO GET SICK." Long before the days of Blade, X-Men, and Spider-Man, Marvel films were borderline nonexistent. Only a handful got made, and none on the theatrical level of endeavors such as Superman: The Movie or Batman 1989. One such endeavor was the Yugoslavian-produced venture based on Marvel's Star Spangled Man with a Plan. The film has become subject to jest and ridicule over the years, and it's time to kick the dead horse yet again. So, come join Brian, Alec, Trey, and Darby as they take a look at Albert Pyun's CAPTAIN AMERICA!

What makes DOLLMAN the most dangerous cop in NYC? He's a 13-inch alien with the most powerful gun in the universe. This week, Steve and Justin look through the microscope and try to make sense of Albert Pyun's 1991 sci-fi classic starring the Clint Eastwood of B-movies, Tim Thomerson (TRANCERS).

As we gradually transition from spook em up season to Christmas time, we dip into another Albert Pyun movie with his first directing credit, 1982's The Sword and the Sorcerer, conveniently named after its genre! Evil usurper King Titus Cromwell (Richard Lynch, also see what they did there?) resurrects an ancient, I guess sorcerer but seems more like a demon named Xusia of Delos (Richard Moll) in order to smite the armies of his sworn enemy King Richard (Christopher Cary) and steal his kingdom. He does so, but while Xusia is weak Cromwell stabs him and he falls off a cliff. The only survivor of the royal lineage is Prince Talon (Lee Horsley) who manages to escape and plots his revenge by getting super buff and going on adventures for eight years. He takes along his father's sword, a non-magic sword that has three blades, two of which turn into projectiles. Then Princess Alana (Kathleen), sister of the rebel leader agrees to have sex with him if he rescues her brother, who's been kidnapped by Cromwell. Also rescue some rebel troops trapped in a cave. Instead, Talon gets kidnapped and crucified. Lucky for him he's bros with all the invited guests, so he escapes and defeats everyone and has sex (offscreen).

Welcome to another episode of The Video Store Podcast. Are you ready for some recommendations? This week, I am focusing on films that are perfect for anyone looking for some Dungeons & Dragons inspiration. I have got four fantastic picks: "Hawk the Slayer" (1980), "Dragonslayer" (1981), "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (1982), and "The Dungeonmaster" (1984).First up is "Hawk the Slayer." This 1980 fantasy film directed by Terry Marcel is a great watch for those who enjoy classic sword and sorcery adventures. The story follows Hawk, played by John Terry, on his quest to defeat the evil Voltan, portrayed by Jack Palance. The film stands out for its creative use of special effects, particularly for its time. It's a cult favorite and a prime example of low-budget fantasy done right.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support our work.Next, we have "Dragonslayer" from 1981. Directed by Matthew Robbins, this movie features groundbreaking special effects that earned it an Academy Award nomination. The story revolves around a young sorcerer's apprentice, played by Peter MacNicol, who sets out to slay a dragon. The dragon, Vermithrax Pejorative, remains one of the most impressive and realistic dragons ever put to film. The combination of practical effects and CGI was ahead of its time, and it's one of my favorite fantasy movies."The Sword and the Sorcerer," released in 1982 and directed by Albert Pyun, is another gem. Lee Horsley stars as Talon, a mercenary with an AMAZING three-bladed sword on a mission to rescue a princess and reclaim his kingdom. This film has some action-packed sequences and impressive low-budget practical effects. Lastly, we have "The Dungeonmaster" from 1984. Directed by several directors, including Charles Band and Dave Allen, this anthology-style film follows Paul, a computer programmer who must face various challenges set by the evil Mestema, played by Richard Moll. The film's blend of fantasy and sci-fi elements makes it unique. Each segment of Paul's journey showcases different styles and imaginative scenarios that keeps it fresh.These four films offer a great mix of fantasy adventure, imaginative storytelling, and unique special effects. They're perfect for anyone looking to get inspired for their next Dungeons & Dragons campaign. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy these classic fantasy films. Then go roll some dice.Subscribe to the Video Store Podcast* The Video Store Podcast* Apple Podcast* RSS This is a public episode.

After two perilous weeks of comedies about sex workers, Paul, Javi, and - inescapably - Producer Brad find themselves in more familiar territory with The Sword and the Sorcerer. It's peak '80s as the stars of both Matt Houston and Manimal cross swords and… uh, sorcery?… in this incredibly diverting low budget bacchanal of wizardry and bloodshed. Forget Conan The Barbarian, Prince Talon is here to slay some beasts, take down some tyrants, chomp on a roasted leg of cow, and buckle his swash with his three-bladed, rocket-powered sword. Get ready to rock the multiplex with the most action a very limited budget can buy. Marvel at the cavalcade of television stalwarts cashing a paycheck in the magical kingdom of Griffith Park during their hiatus. Learn Javi's valuable lesson in cave rentals, discover the (possible) secret origin of Game of Thrones' Red Wedding, and quiver in wonder as we reveal the greatest line reading in cinema history!

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down the 1992 cyberpunk action film, Nemesis – written and directed by Albert Pyun, starring Olivier Gruner, Tim Thomerson, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brion James, and Vincent Klyn.Alex, a burned out L.A. cyborg cop, is forced by commissioner Farnsworth to find his former cyborg partner and lover Jared who's about to deliver sensitive data to cyborg terrorists who wish to wage war against humans. Is he being played?This film might be the most insane B-movie cyberpunk action film ever made. There are more bullets fired in this film than in any film I've seen. Albert Pyun, who we already went over with on Cyborg, returns to his favorite sub-genre and delivers some amazing thrills and action set-pieces. You just have to see it to believe it! Trust me, there are parts in this movie that you can't unwatch! It's a stunt spectacular!So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is!

JCVD fighting guys in a post-apocalyptic future with cyberpunk vibes and his modified paint-ball gun was the greatest thing these eyes had ever seen in 1989. I watched it so much that I memorized every cut, every poorly delivered line of dialogue, every fight, and every slow motion kill.

Jedediah Berry & Andrew McAlpine's The Valley of Flowers is a fantasy campaign setting of mythic adventure in a world gone strange, for use with Old-School Essentials and Cairn which I think would make a great companion for Chris McDowall's Mythic Bastionland.

In this episode, I respond to an awesome call from Joe Richter of Hindsightless regarding Mythic Bastionland before getting into some 4D roleplaying feedback from Anthony “Runeslinger” Boyd of Casting Shadows (podcast & YouTube) and Che Webster of Roleplay Rescue (podcast & blog) that leads to me reassessing of some of my assumptions regarding this approach to play.Get ManaDawn's Mythic Bastionland character sheet here https://manadawnttg.itch.io/mythic-bastionland-character-sheet ivanmike1968's takes a look at 4D Role Play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHnoZaCQey4 An experiment in horror - Call of Cthulhu actual play https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/001-isla-de-la-muerte-were-all-off-to-sunny-spain/id1530832637?i=1000582666196 Honourable mentions: sameøldji (podcast, YouTube), Safer Fantasy Crafting (podcast), Jason Connerley of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast (podcast & blog) The movie for next month is Albert Pyun's The Sword & The Sorcerer from 1982.

Originally from our Patreon: Albert Pyun (1953 – 2022) was the consummate independent genre filmmaker -- his audacious film output in the 1980s and 1990s amassed a string of brain-blending films that mixed sci-fi, fantasy, action, horror, comedy, Eastern and Western cinema, to create something wholly unique, something maybe best described using the title of one of his own films - Radioactive Dreams. 1982's THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER, Van Damme's CYBORG, NEMESIS, DOLLMAN, even the original and much-maligned CAPTAIN AMERICA movie. Though he never achieved mainstream success, Pyuns films have haunted the minds of Steve and Josh and so many others - including our guest for the episode, BenDavid Grabinski (co-creator "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off"). Join us as we explore the Pyuniverse of cyborgs, kickboxing, muscle women, post-apocalyptic madness, and much more.
“The deal's going down. But it's going down twisted." The Cannon Bros travel back to the Pyuniverse and get down twisted about 1987's "DOWN TWISTED"! The Cannon Bros (Frank & Geoff) get disoriented with all the (down) twists and turns, contemplate the "comedic relief" of the late Charles Rocket, some Cannon Oingo Boingo reuse and...oh yeah! Hey, it's Masters of the Universe's (and nothing else) Courtney Cox for a quick minute! Ultimately, Albert Pyun's unique and signature style elevates what would normally be a static action crime adventure. But one thing's certain, it's...Down Twisted.

And on December 2, Excelsior Journeys host & producer George Sirois had the honor of speaking with Albert's wife Cynthia Curnan, who was all too happy to share some wonderful stories about the man she stood beside for over 25 years, and who is working with Albert's collaborators to produce the upcoming documentary Albert Pyun: King of Cult Movies.
