Send us a textDo you remember Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive from the 80s? We remember liking this movie a lot. We admit that it was a little cheesy back then, and we're hoping that this turns out to be a whole lot of 80s cheesy goodness. So join us as we go back to 1986 when machines turned on their makers, forcing Emilio Estevez, under the direction of Stephen King, to fight back and show those machines who made who.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

In this episode, the hosts discuss the complexities of the film 'Tenet' directed by Christopher Nolan, exploring its themes, character performances, and visual storytelling. They delve into the technical difficulties faced during the recording, the selection of films for their Patreon segment, and Chris's personal art projects. The conversation highlights the philosophical questions raised by the film, the tension throughout its runtime, and the overall cinematic experience. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the complexities of modern filmmaking, particularly focusing on Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' and its dense narrative structure. They discuss the challenges of understanding such films and the potential benefits of a multi-part series. The discussion then shifts to the cult classic 'Hard Ticket to Hawaii,' exploring its campy charm and the appeal of so-bad-it's-good cinema. The hosts reflect on the enjoyment derived from these films, despite their flaws, and conclude with a review of 'F1: The Movie,' highlighting its mediocrity and entertainment value.
This week on Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas unearth The Mummy (1999) and debate whether this fan-favorite adventure deserves a spot in the official Challenge Accepted Top 100 list. Originally challenged by Australian podcast pal Aaron Brasher from Fandom Portals, the duo dives into everything from the film's wild plot and iconic action to its CGI, practical effects, and Brendan Fraser's action star moment. They unpack what holds up, what doesn't, and why this movie might be the perfect time capsule of late '90s popcorn cinema. Timestamps & Topics: 00:00 Introduction & who challenged this movie 02:00 First impressions: childhood memories and DVD nostalgia 04:00 Two-minute plot rundown (with chaotic energy) 06:00 Brendan Fraser: action hero or accidental legend? 09:00 Can this franchise come back—and should Fraser lead it? 11:00 Comparing Rick O'Connell to Indiana Jones 13:00 Evelyn's character: damsel, badass, or both? 18:00 Imhotep's motivations and why he's low-key sympathetic 22:00 Side characters, comic relief, and iconic moments 24:00 Filming in Morocco and creating believable heat 25:30 The good, the bad, and the beetles of CGI 30:00 Why Brendan Fraser's fight choreography still holds up 33:00 That Egyptian score and the power of a strong soundtrack 35:00 Mid-budget movie magic: why we need more like this 38:00 Behind-the-scenes fun facts: near-death moments and more 44:00 Historical accuracy vs cinematic fun 46:00 Cast reunion and the movie's lasting cult status 47:30 Top 100 decision time—does it make the cut? Key Takeaways: Brendan Fraser choreographed much of his own action—legend. The Mummy walks the line between camp and craft, with charm to spare. This is a film that thrives on practical effects, strong chemistry, and a sense of fun. While some moments feel dated, the core still entertains in 2025. It's a solid contender for the Challenge Accepted Top 100, but is that enough? Quotes Worth Repeating: “Rick O'Connell is 90% action hero, 10% lucky idiot—and that's why we love him.” “Imhotep didn't ask to be cursed. They turned him into the villain.” “This movie feels hotter than Dune—and everyone's actually sweating.” “It's not just nostalgia, this thing's still fun start to finish.” Call to Action: Think The Mummy deserves a Top 100 spot?

"You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That's a typo. Orwell is here now. He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless!" HACKERS hit theaters in 1995—and mostly flatlined. But before it became a cult phenomenon, it was a risky production that blended cutting-edge visual effects, rave culture aesthetics, and a sincere belief that the digital frontier was worth fighting for. In this episode, we dive into the making of the film, the marketing missteps that doomed its initial release, and the slow rise of HACKERS as a touchstone for cyberpunk cinema and internet culture. We'll also share our own thoughts on its uncanny prescience, its unforgettable style, and why it still resonates with audiences today. Suit up, grab your laptop, and join us as we trace how Hackers went from box-office flop to a beloved artifact of the wired age. Want to support the show?

And for me, at my best, I need to feel this in my soul to give that to you." (Frank on Alan Rickman's final catchphrase scene) "If the cast of the show was bigger fans of their own show, they would have survived better." (Thomas on how fandom knowledge matters in Galaxy Quest's story) "Tim Allen went from Home Improvement uncertainty to being Buzz Lightyear. This movie came right at that transition." (Frank on Tim Allen's career at the time of Galaxy Quest) "Every conversation moves the story forward. This movie is so well-paced and tight."

Today we talk about moral panics. Specifically, the "Video Nasty" moral panic that happened in the UK in the early 1980s, and then again in the 1990s, when there was widespread fear that by kids watching horror movies with titles like Cannibal Holocaust, Flesh for Frankenstein, I Spit on Your Grave, and The Last House on the Left, they would literally be turned into rapists and killers. Was there any justification for this panic? Can hyper-violent or hyper-sexualized media in general erode the morality of children?
