Join in as we discuss the career of screenwriter Shonda Rhimes, the long development of Princess Diaries 3, the odd CGI plane, and a lot about the Genovian government. Plus: Who would want a remote control closet? Why is Genovia's anthem so similar to Canada's? Why didn't PD3 happen sooner? And, most importantly, why does Genovia have so many orphans?

In this episode, we break down Inception and tackle the movie's biggest question: was Cobb still dreaming at the end? Christopher Nolan leaves the finale intentionally ambiguous, but when you look closely at the layers of storytelling, symbolism, and visual details, there are clues that point to a deeper answer. We dig into the spinning top, Cobb's emotional journey, and why the ending works no matter what you believe. Whether you think it was reality or one final dream, this breakdown unpacks why the ending of Inception continues to fascinate audiences more than a decade later.   Stream Lane Hunt's latest release: Rev Me Up   Chapters: 00:00 How Nolan tackles a high concept 8:09 The insanely low amount of CGI 12:30 Nolan making a high concept believable 19:38 Nolan's carefully crafted stories 31:17 Ending explained: Was he dreaming? 45:28 Nolan filling all plot holes 52:17 The meaning of Dom Cobb's name & more easter eggs 56:13 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:08:12 New Lane Hunt music: Rev Me Up

We watch District 9 and it's amazing CGI, while having a couple revelations about the story.

Video game programmer Jamie O'Neill of Pacoima, California, joined the podcast on Friday to discuss, among other things, the many strange UFO sightings he's had throughout the course of his life. Jamie not only saw UFOs, however, as he also discusses his chilling encounters with alien beings, missing time episodes, the possibility that he was abducted by extraterrestrials, and the discovery of a potential alien implant in his finger.Actual UFO image in thumbnail courtesy of Jamie O'Neill.CGI alien in thumbnail image courtesy of Jamie O'Neill.Support Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_Reality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my YouTube channel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quirk Zone - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Extraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

In this week's episode, Brandon and Gabby finish up Squid Game season 3. They break down the last 2 episodes, they talk about how brutal the violence was in the last game, the emotions they felt, how much they struggled to remember a lot of names, how they still hated the CGI baby, and talked way too long about the ending and what it might mean

Hey everyone! Welcome back to RIffin. Today, we’re going to talk about something that’s been making waves lately: AI versus CGI. You know, the whole debate about which one is better. And guess what? Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged! Can you believe it? And get this - he got her a diamond ring. Now, I know what you’re thinking: are diamonds really worth all that? Well, we’re going to dive into that question and see what we can find out. Stay tuned!

We've been hard at work only discussing movies with anniversaries this year, and to show his displeasure, Matt chose to punish us all with the unwatchable BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR (2010). Arguably one of the worst movies ever made. it really lives up to the hype and is without a doubt the dumbest thing we've ever discussed on the show. Hope you like terrible CGI bird clipart flapping in the foreground (though an argument can be made that it takes away some of the sting of the absolutely stupid dialogue).

Send us a textEveryone loves Keanu, but none of you listened to us talk about him in this episode the first time, so we're trotting it out again.  Maybe it was because we were only 10 episodes into our podcast career or, more likely, our enormous lack of talent that kept you all away. Either way; Who cares?  In this glorious 90s action flick we are constantly reminded of how cool things used to be in the movie theater.  Great stories, great acting, and no unnecessary CGI. Keanu and Sandy are cute as bugs and the ever whacked out Dennis Hopper keeps the joint hoppin for the entire two hrs.  Pop Quiz, hot shot. How do make an awesome action movie? Listen in to find out.

In this episode, we dive deep into Ozzy Osbourne's “Back to the Beginning” final concert and discuss whether Sammy Hagar was the low point of the show.Do the old Marvel movies still hold up, or were they just great at the time? We debate how the newer films lean too heavily on cheap pops and flashy money shots. Falcon and The Winter Soldier has aged well, but its follow-ups felt forced.We also get into She-Hulk, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: New World Order, with a special focus on Ironheart's mishandling by Disney and whether her appearance in Wakanda Forever was a misstep.We revisit how some older CGI still holds up better than today's, and compare it to the over-reliance on CGI in modern films. Finally, we round things off with a look at the new Superman movie, highlighting all the things it got right — from casting, tone, and hopefulness to Lex Luthor, Krypto, and the Daily Planet.

Ghislaine Maxwell, now a convicted sex trafficker serving a 20-year sentence, was surprisingly honored at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) conference—even as allegations of her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking ring had already been publicly circulating. At the CGI, her nonprofit, the TerraMar Project, was spotlighted with a “Commitment to Action” recognition, and she received applause during an ocean-conservation luncheon. This recognition occurred despite a 2011 internal directive from Clinton aide Doug Band to bar her from Clinton-related events.Clinton Foundation officials stated that over 600 complimentary passes were authorized for the 2013 event at the staff level—including the office of former President Clinton—and insisted that the Clintons had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes. Still, some sources suggest Maxwell's inclusion may have required personal approval from Bill or Hillary Clinton, raising fresh scrutiny. The revelation comes amid new subpoenas issued by the House Oversight Committee to both Clintons as part of its broader investigation into Epstein's network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell was celebrated at posh Clinton event years after sex crimes accusations emerged

This week on Another Pass, Case and Sam are joined by guest Sean Muir to dissect the late '90s sci-fi horror flick Virus—a movie where bad wiring meets worse decisions. Together, they explore the film's potential, its squandered setup, and how it almost became the Event Horizon of killer robot movies. #AnotherPass #Virus1999 #JamieLeeCurtis #DonaldSutherland #SeanMuir #SciFiHorror #FlawedButFascinating Another Pass Full Episode Originally aired: August 22, 2025 Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!

The film was released in January 1999, originally scheduled for late 1998, but was a commercial failure, earning only half of its budget back with critical reviews reflecting its shortcomings. Discussion revealed that the movie heavily referenced better films like The Thing and Alien, being described as merely an 'outline of a movie', lacking the depth expected from the genre. The technical achievements of Phil Tippett's animatronics were praised, although criticized for being too bright for the intended horror atmosphere, while CGI elements did not hold up well. Cultural shifts post-9/11 were noted as a change in audience appetite for sci-fi horror, marking an end to the late 90s creature feature trend seen in films like Independence Day. Character development was weak, with the consensus that Billy Baldwin's role could be eliminated without impacting the story; Sherman Augustus's character identified as the most promising but underutilized. Proposed a campier direction for the film, featuring humans viewed as 'uncouth' by aliens, which could yield more engaging content and interactions among the crew. Suggested removing the opening space scene to enhance suspense, providing a fresher take on alien threat revelation and deepening story engagement. Critique noted inconsistencies in character portrayals   Notes ️ Episode Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 10:25) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea welcome guest Sean Muir (Movie Midness) to discuss the 1999 sci-fi horror film 'Virus'. Both Case and Sam were unfamiliar with the film despite it featuring notable actors and being from 1999, highlighting how obscure it became. John Bruno left his VFX supervisor position on Titanic to direct this film, but his career trajectory after this movie remains unclear. The movie appears made for cyberpunk enthusiasts, sci-fi nerds, and specifically mentioned Billy Idol during his cyberpunk phase after missing the T-1000 role in Terminator 2. Movie Plot Summary & Analysis (07:40 - 20:48) Film opens with Russian space station receiving alien energy that transfers to communication ship; American tugboat crew discovers abandoned vessel during hurricane and faces killer machines. Features Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland, Billy Baldwin, and Cliff Curtis; Sam expresses confusion about Billy Baldwin's casting choices. Film draws heavily from better movies including The Thing, Alien, Event Horizon, and Ghost Ship; described as feeling like an 'outline of a movie'. Movie was a commercial bomb, earning only half its budget back and receiving harsh critical reviews. ️ Technical & Production Discussion (20:49 - 40:48) Phil Tippett's animatronics work praised as excellent, though perhaps too well-lit for horror atmosphere; practical effects hold up better than CGI elements. Late 90s represented end of creature feature era; audiences moving toward CGI spectacle seen in films like Independence Day and Jurassic Park sequels. Discussion of how cultural tastes changed dramatically after 9/11, affecting appetite for this type of sci-fi horror content. Movie reused ship from The Abyss and other James Cameron productions; originally scheduled for 1998 release but moved to January 1999 'dump month'. Character & Story Analysis (40:48 - 01:02:22) Crew relationships underdeveloped compared to superior ensemble films like Aliens; characters lack memorable personality moments. Consensus that Billy Baldwin's character adds nothing to the film and could be completely removed without impact. Sherman Augustus's character Richie identified as film's best, showing intelligence and survival instincts that should have made him the protagonist. Central concept of humans being the 'virus' poorly executed compared to The Matrix (same year) or later films like Arrival. Pitch Session - Campy Direction (01:02:23 - 01:12:53) Proposes making film campier with Galactic Union of Planets deciding humans are 'uncouth' and sending computer virus to eliminate them efficiently. Suggests more scenes of Richie building weapons from robot parts and crew creating makeshift tools for survival. Proposes aliens are annoyed by human space transmissions like 'intergalactic Mormons' constantly trying to make contact. More creative use of ship's manufacturing equipment turned into weapons. Technical Improvement Suggestions (01:12:53 - 01:22:35) Sean criticizes inconsistent Scottish accent performance, suggests either full commitment or using natural voice. Marshall Bell (Woods) needs better pain expression training for nail gun injury scenes. Second wall of hurricane not properly represented with appropriate ship movement and chaos during climax. Movie lacks clear layout understanding, unlike Die Hard's excellent building geography that aids tension. Horror Direction Alternative (01:16:55 - 01:22:35) Remove opening space station scene, make it flashback told by Nadia; focus on mystery and unknown threat. Give Jamie Lee Curtis's Kit Foster more personal stakes and character arc beyond basic competence. Build more suspense through delayed revelation of alien threat; explore 'humans as virus' theme more thoroughly. Better utilize ship's impressive technical areas and create clearer navigation understanding. Wrap-up & Social Media (01:22:35 - 01:27:59) Sean Muir promotes Movie Midness Instagram, Letterboxd, and YouTube profiles featuring movie analysis and model train scene recreations. Thanks to executive producer level supporters including Micah McCaw, Carter Hallett, Sean Muir, and others. Highlander 2: The Quickening announced as next film for discussion. Shoutouts to Macaw Podcast, We Have Issues comic review show, and Books that Burn literature podcast.

Your Stupid Minds returns to computer with a sequel to 1992's cyber thriller The Lawnmower Man. Except 1996's Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (or is it Jobe's War?) is bigger, dumber, and significantly less financially successful, somehow opening at #19 in the box office on 1,600 screens. Starring no one from the original movie except Austin O'Brien. Peter (O'Brien) is an orphaned street urchin on the mean streets of cyberpunk L.A. And when it's cyberpunk L.A. you know what that means! It's perpetually night, it's torrentially raining, and people are warming their hands on fire barrels to counteract Southern California's famously cold climate. We can assume some kind of nuclear winter has set in, but it's never mentioned. Peter and his cadre of Burger King Kids Club members (including a dog) live in an abandoned subway tunnel and hack into cyberspace using stolen phone cards. That's where he recognizes Jobe (Matt Frewer) despite his dying in the last movie and being recast in this one as a completely different type of guy. Jobe wants him to get in contact with Dr. Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin) a replacement for Pierce Brosnan's Dr. Lawrence Angelo from the last movie. Once they get in contact, Jobe is trying to crack open the Chiron Chip so he can do evil cyberspace stuff. His friendly facade quickly crumbles and he starts doing his Jim Carrey Riddler imitation that Frewer eventually perfects in Generation X. What follows up until the last ten minutes isn't particularly important. Trace must do a CGI sword fight with Jobe to restore order or something. Also the dog can insert mini CD-ROMs with his paw.

This week on Mostly Horror, we're kicking back with horror influencer Gigi Leal (@RoomforScream) for a proper Horror Hangout.We start with the question on everyone's mind: what exactly is going on with this new War of the Worlds movie starring Ice Cube? It's a screen-life take on the H.G. Wells classic, dropped on Prime Video in July, and somehow managed to land a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Depending on who you ask, it's either a chaotic disaster full of bad CGI and shameless product placement or a campy mess worth watching with friends.Then Sean talks about the thing he's actually excited for: Last Podcast on the Left's Henry Zebrowski is working on an alien comedy called UFO: Unbelievably Friendly Organisms. Details are scarce, but the title alone already has us sold.From there, Gigi brings some sharp horror hot takes, we trade recommendations you'll want to add to your watchlist immediately, and end up covering everything from comfort horror to movies that make you want to scream into the void.If you're into horror news, spicy opinions, and finding your next favorite creepy flick, this one's for you sooo...COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode?

Welcome back! I start with the Update of my amazing week. I then go to Manny's a Reel Boy where we learn, laugh, love and explore why ill be arrested/deported. I then Poke My Jokes from Thursday at Kashan's. It was a fun set. I end in CGI where I ask what the correct pronunciation of Equilibrate was, The Shuman Frequency and what that's about, how to filter out estrogen and fluoride, and what the WHO plan of reducing the population to 1/10th of what we have now and what that means. Enjoy, Rate, Review, and Share it! I'll see you next week God Willing! IA!

Battlecry!, Bigatures, and the Tank Fallacy: Pathfinder 2e's New Expansion Yells Into the Void (And We Love It!) You can now listen to archive episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast on YouTube! Catch up on past adventures, deep dives, and spicy takes—now just a click away. Show Notes: In this episode, Tyler Kamstra, Randall James, and Ash Ely sound the alarm for Battlecry!, the latest Pathfinder 2e expansion that drops more mechanics than a dwarven siege engine. The Commander class steals the spotlight, offering the kind of battlefield support that makes your bard feel inadequate. Meanwhile, the Guardian shows up to shout "Taunt!" like it's 2004, then dares you to punch it in the face. New ancestries like the Jotunborn get critiqued (spoiler: they're tall, but not necessarily compelling), and the hosts break down how Pathfinder continues to make tactical party play both crunchy and fun. Also: AI voice acting is ruining everything, and Tyler wants his dang bigatures back. PF2 Battlecry Paizo Blog: Diamond Bankruptcy Update West Virginia Radio Quiet Zone Key Takeaways: Radio Silence Zone: It's real, it's weird, and it's the perfect setting for your next post-apocalyptic one-shot. AI is coming for your dice: The rise of AI in creative industries has the hosts (rightfully) worried—and not just about the quality of CGI. Battlecry is awesome: It brings bold new options with the Commander and Guardian classes, plus new ancestries, archetypes, and updated warfare mechanics. The Commander Class: A tactician's dream—boost allies, manage actions, and scream commands like a fantasy Napoleon. The Guardian Class: Not a traditional tank, but it taunts like one. Understanding the “tank fallacy” is key to using this class well. Reactions matter: Timing is everything. Pathfinder's layered action economy shines even brighter with these new mechanics. New archetypes = spicy builds: There's a lot to chew on for optimizers and roleplayers alike. Magic items and warfare: Updated systems offer more fun without bogging the game down. Diamond Comics' bankruptcy: A reminder of how fragile RPG distribution really is. The LotR extended editions debate: Nobody is neutral. Randall might duel Ash in a Cracks of Doom showdown. Call to Action: If you're a Pathfinder player, Battlecry is more than just a shout—it's a full-blown battle hymn. Whether you're a tactical mastermind or just here for the yelling, grab a copy of Battlecry, roll up a Commander or Guardian, and make your table tremble. Don't forget to subscribe to the RPGBOT.Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and check out our archive of episodes now available on YouTube!

What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They've all been part of Deacon Bob's adventurous month.  After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob's recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand's Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast).  Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon.  Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother's remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop's call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves.  Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB's first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady's towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history.  Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it's to a sheep paddock in New Zealand).    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye  The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week's light sports slate and review the new Superman. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well.    (05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia  Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss Tom Brady's towering statue and celebrate Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB's first female umpire. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues.    (15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes  Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders after a typhoon and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes walking through the Shire set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical.    (23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth  From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit's anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel.    (25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother  Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the Knights of Columbus Conference. He shares the moving story of Blessed Stanley Rother a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother's courage and devotion left a lasting impression.    (32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing  Looking ahead to the Feast of the Assumption they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University's newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements. The conversation closes with anticipation for the start of the school year.    Resources Mentioned  Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine – Learn more about the first American-born martyr  MLB First Female Umpire – Jen Pawol – Read about her historic debut  Hobbiton Movie Set – Explore the filming location of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit  Feast of the Assumption – August 15, a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church  Christ the King Chapel Renovation – Franciscan University's expanded and renewed chapel  Purposeful Lab – New season started on Faith and Reason

This next movie pick comes from VHS Strikes Back Patreon Matt Bates, and he's chosen a gritty, bloody, and proudly British cult favourite: Dog Soldiers (2002). Directed by Neil Marshall in his feature debut, this film has become a fan-favourite among horror and action enthusiasts alike, thanks to its blend of pitch-black humour, practical effects, and relentless werewolf mayhem. It's a howling good time—and an ambitious low-budget thriller that punches well above its weight.Shot on a modest budget of around £2 million, Dog Soldiers was filmed almost entirely in Luxembourg, standing in for the Scottish Highlands. Neil Marshall, previously known for his editing work, wrote the script and directed the film with a scrappy indie spirit. The movie faced its share of production hurdles—tight schedules, unpredictable weather, and the ever-present challenge of doing creature effects on a budget. Instead of CGI, Marshall opted for practical werewolf suits, a choice that helped cement the film's cult status. Despite limited theatrical release, it became a sleeper hit on home video and has since earned a reputation as one of the best werewolf films of the modern era, launching Marshall's directing career and paving the way for his later hits like The Descent and Doomsday.Check out Matt's YouTube channel here. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryThey were just soldiers… on a routine training mission in the remote Scottish Highlands. But when night falls, the hunt begins. Now, cut off from command, outgunned, and outnumbered, a ragtag squad must face a nightmare that doesn't sleep, doesn't reason… and definitely doesn't bleed. From the director of The Descent comes a relentless, blood-soaked battle for survival. This time, the enemy isn't human… it's hungry. Dog Soldiers - lock, load, and pray for daylight.Fun FactsNo CGI Werewolves – The film proudly used practical effects and full-body creature suits instead of CGI, giving the werewolves a more physical and grounded presence.Filmed in Luxembourg – Although set in the Scottish Highlands, the movie was shot in Luxembourg due to funding and tax incentive reasons.Delayed U.S. Release - Although released in the UK in 2002, Dog Soldiers didn't hit U.S. theaters or DVD shelves until 2005, building anticipation through word-of-mouth.Cult Status – The film was a festival favourite, winning the Audience Award at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film.Practical Explosions – All explosions and gunfire effects were done live on set, giving the action scenes a visceral, old-school war movie feel.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It's been a hot minute since we've had a solid theme episode around Nicolas Cage. But just grabbing three movies of our patron saint is too easy. The man has a long filmography which makes it way too easy to cherry pick. So we decided to narrow things down and focus on Westerns made with Cage. First up is Gunslingers[2025]. We start off with some atrocious CGI establishing the era and time. Three men get into a fight, one gets burnt and another gets shot. Fast forward to a town called Redemption where retired outlaws all hide out. Mr Burnface shows up looking for his brother. The dead man in … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 247: Butchering Westerns"

In this lively episode of GeekFreaks Podcast, Frank and the gang dig deep into the latest pop culture chatter. We cover the lively debate over which fictional characters would thrive on social media, break down the intense new trailer for One Piece season two, and share candid thoughts on the Highlander reboot casting news. Squeaks and Jonathan pitch their dream remakes and sequels, from Short Circuit to Back to the Future. We also talk about DC's rumored “henchman” movie—and pitch our own cheeky DC headlines. Lastly, the crew celebrates the return of space opera epics and welcomes Distance Nerd's Jen, Liam, and Graveyard for a spirited interview on fandom culture. Timestamps & Topics 00:00:00 – 00:03:00 – Introduction and “Fictional Characters on Social Media” debate: Star‑Lord, Joker, Riddler, and Flash. 00:03:00 – 00:06:00 – One Piece season two trailer reaction: multiple arcs, what to expect from Reverse Mountain and Alabasta, and Chopper's introduction. 00:06:00 – 00:08:00 – Does anime need to stick to the manga? Filler episodes versus character moments. 00:08:00 – 00:11:30 – News: Dave Bautista cast in the Highlander reboot—why the debate around his physique doesn't matter. 00:11:30 – 00:15:00 – What remakes do we actually want? Ideas range from Short Circuit's AI twist to a refreshed Back to the Future. 00:15:00 – 00:20:00 – Squeaks' ultimate pitch: E.T. returns—and he's connected to the Star Wars Senate cameo? 00:20:00 – 00:27:00 – DC rumors: Zach Cregger's “Henchman” script, who could carry a story about the accidental capture of Batman, and why Elseworlds stories are fun. 00:27:00 – 00:38:00 – Main Discussion: The renaissance of space operas. From Dune and Avatar to upcoming Star Wars projects and the importance of spectacle, practical effects vs. CGI, and why grand storytelling is back. 00:38:00 – 00:49:00 – “Geek Culture and Community” interview with Distance Nerd's Jen, Graveyard, and Liam: building an online fan community, favorite sci‑fi properties, and how their live podcast style resonates with listeners. 00:49:00 – 01:09:00 – More pop culture news and games: Marvel's Green Lantern theory, fake DC news challenge, and the crew's comedic speculations on Mr. Freeze, Clayface, and Ryan Reynolds' ultimate crossover. 01:09:00 – end – Wrap‑up: Episode highlights, network updates, content from other podcasts, and personal recommendations—how King of the Hill's return hits the right notes, why Dope Thief on Apple TV is a sleeper hit, and more. Key Takeaways Fictional characters on TikTok? The gang imagines Star‑Lord taking selfies across galaxies, the Riddler fostering a cult following, and Flash zipping around doing livestreams from inside STAR Labs. One Piece season two will be jam‑packed. Squeaks notes the show will likely fold multiple arcs into one season, meaning nonstop action and beloved characters like Chopper and Nico Robin. Remakes done right: While the crew is wary of endless reboots, they'd love to see Short Circuit reimagined with modern AI themes or a thoughtful sequel to E.T. set in today's world. DC's “henchman” movie intrigues. Zach Cregger's script idea follows a low‑level villain who accidentally knocks out Batman and then wrestles with what to do—worth exploring as an Elseworlds story, especially if it digs into Gotham's underclass. Space operas are back. Thanks to Dune, Avatar, and upcoming Star Wars films, the spectacle‑heavy genre is enjoying a resurgence. The team loves the blend of practical effects and CGI when done well, but they emphasize the need for strong characters and meaningful themes. Geek culture lives online. Jen, Liam, and Graveyard from Distance Nerd share how they've cultivated a welcoming space for fans and why live, improvisational podcasting keeps the energy high. Fun with fake news. The hosts plan to prank DC fans with tongue‑in‑cheek rumors—like Batman stealing Green Lantern's ring or Mr. Freeze battling Clayface—just to poke fun at internet speculation. Personal recs: King of the Hill's revival hits all the right notes, Dope Thief on Apple TV delivers gripping crime drama, and Apple TV quietly produces award‑worthy content. Memorable Quotes “Thriving on social media doesn't mean everybody loves you—it just means you have a huge following.” – Frank “Star‑Lord with different aliens, different species, fighting and selfies in strange worlds? Yes, please!” – Squeaks “Sometimes the monsters show us what it means to be human.” – Frank on beloved AI and sci‑fi themes “Practical effects still matter; CGI needs to be done beautifully—think Dune's sandworms or Avatar's Pandora.” – Squeaks “We're casual, we're opinionated, and we're fans of fans. That's what Distance Nerd stands for.” – Jen Call to Action Love what you hear? Help us continue bringing you thoughtful geek discussions every week!

The latest ‘Jurassic Park’ entry features Scarlett Johansson and cutting-edge CGI. But character development or big twists? Nah. Read the Plugged In Review If you've listened to any of our podcasts, please give us your feedback.

Our baddest B.I.T.C.H (Baby In Total Control of Herself) Jackie and her Special Little Boy MJ are back with Second Helpings, including remembering Hulk Hogan should Rest In Piss, and the unearthed Daddy's Deli audio is servin' up memories @ 7:36.591 ! The 15 year anniversary of Snooki's iconic "WHERE'S THE BEACH!?" moment is upon us, and it's been 10 years since MJ proposed to Gideon on stage and they caused a nerd to grit his teeth when asked 'WHO'S THE BADDIES?' when it came to symbols on "Star Wars" rings. MJ and Jackie reveal that the Goop's new book is a big ole sloppy mess, Jackie started into the HAWT world of "Hunting Wives" to fill her craving for WOMEN and MJ and Jackie both make a pledge to fix their faces via Skim's new sculpting face mask. The fallout from the new Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle Jeans ad campaign continues as either haven't made a comment about the possibly racist messaging and also the CGI baby from Fantastic Four looks like straight ass. The great internet battle of if Pedro Pascal is too touchy rages on, and it seems like no one has bothered to ask who is being touched, because they all seem fine with it! Jackie and MJ decide the 4 year old who reenacted the Lady Gaga "Abracadabra" video and Jojo Siwa naming her bfs nuts is TOO MUCH, then Jackie puts out a plea for 'chup sanity after Obama seems to call for a culling for all users, but Holden coats all foods in at least 6 inches of it.
