NostalgiaCast turns up the heat as Paul of The Countdown Podcast joins our latest '90s Bucket List episode for a fiery discussion of BACKDRAFT, starring real-life stuntmen Kurt Russell and William Baldwin, plus Robert De Niro, Donald Sutherland, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Grab your boots, gloves, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus as Paul, Jonny, and Darin obsess over the pyrotechnics, melodramatics, and classic Hans Zimmer score that brand Ron Howard's 1991 firefighter thriller.

Think of late 1960's television comedy shows and Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In is sure to come to mine, and you can't think of Laugh-In without thinking of today's legend -- Goldie Hawn! On Laugh-In she played a sweet but ditzy blonde who would frequently steal the show. But there was so much more to Goldie than that as she has shown over an Oscar-winning film career. Goldie radiated star-power and was a top draw in movies including Cactus Flower, Shampoo, Foul Play, and Private Benjamin. Goldie has also won the Harvard "Hasty Pudding" woman of the year award, a Golden Globe, a People's Choice award and many others -- but she may be proudest of her 40 year relationship with actor Kurt Russell -- a Hollywood pairing that has stood the test of time. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Goldie? Goldie will always be linked with Laugh-In and here is a fun "highlight reel" of Goldie's best from that show. https://youtu.be/L5Y1lt2rqGk?si=FSuKghlgUTizBlbG In 1978 Goldie had a hit with Foul Play, also starring Chevy Chase and Dudley Moore. Here Dudley puts his best moves on Goldie. https://youtu.be/V7rn04Tp5HY?si=6lxQDjcqnNeVNQdn One of Goldie's best films is Private Benjamin, a fish out of water story about a sheltered high-society woman who joins the Army. The chemistry between salty drill instructor Eileen Brennan and Goldie is superb. https://youtu.be/rbH_RrOAAfA?si=QeD7V7nMWQQLg0xN

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we slither into our Top 5 Snakes in movies and TV, and shed our skins with two slinky features: the gritty 2023 Hong Kong action flick The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon, and a far more family-friendly offering in Patchwork Pals.Top 5 Snakes in Film & TVKaa – The Jungle Book (1967/2016) Hypnotic eyes, silky voice, and a penchant for wrapping himself around unsuspecting jungle creatures—Kaa is the ultimate slithering villain. Whether voiced by Sterling Holloway or Scarlett Johansson, he leaves a lasting impression.Nagini – Harry Potter series Voldemort's devoted reptilian sidekick and eventual Horcrux, Nagini is both a terrifying presence and a tragic figure with a deeper backstory revealed in Fantastic Beasts.Snake Plissken – Escape from New York (1981) OK, not a literal snake—but Kurt Russell's eye-patched anti-hero is too iconic to leave off. He's venomous in attitude if not species.The Basilisk – Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) A giant snake living in Hogwarts' plumbing system? Sure. Just don't look it in the eyes.Sir Hiss – Disney's Robin Hood (1973) This snooty, sycophantic serpent floats around in a basket and gets on everyone's nerves—just the sort of snake you love to hiss at.Main Feature: The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon (2023)Directed by Wong Ching-po, this brutal neo-noir action thriller tells the story of Mok, a terminally ill gangster who finds out he has only days to live. With nothing left to lose, he sets out on a violent spree to go out in a blaze of infamy. But as his legend grows, so does the bounty on his head—and he becomes prey for a series of contract killers with styles as flamboyant as they are deadly.With its hyper-stylized violence, morally bankrupt characters, and pitch-black humour, this one is not for the faint of heart. It's a fever dream of bloodshed, masculinity, and fatalism, with moments that almost border on the surreal. The action choreography is tight, the visuals are stylish, and the tone walks a fine line between grindhouse and art film. There are snakes here—not just the metaphorical kind—and they're not easy to charm.Kids TV: Patchwork PalsIn need of something to balance out the darkness? Enter Patchwork Pals, the gentle animated show aimed at preschoolers. Each short episode centres on a different soft toy animal who has a problem—and must find a creative, cooperative solution. The snake in Patchwork Pals is a colourful, friendly creature who isn't scary at all—just a bit stuck and in need of help from their pals.Wholesome, sweet, and ideal for very young viewers, it's the kind of thing that soothes minds and teaches emotional intelligence, problem-solving, and kindness.Whether you're charmed or chilled, this week's show is full of bite.

Please note: Like how Death Proof uses fake film grain to make it seem like it's an older movie, only to stop doing it halfway through, Laci and Matt's audio improves halfway through this episode. You might not even notice the audio isn't great in the first half... but if you do, just know it gets better eventually.   Friend of the Show Cinema Chris joins Laci and Matt to talk about Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007). Originally a 90-minute movie presented as part of a double feature alongside Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror, Death Proof now stands on its own (in an expanded edition) as one of the more fascinating entries in Tarantino's filmography. We discuss the beautiful animal that is Kurt Russell, Rose McGowan's captivating pronunciation of “chocolate milk,” and how much joy there is to be had in a car going vroom-vroom real fast.    Follow Chris on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@cinemavault), Instagram (https://bit.ly/3GKiYc9), and Letterboxd (https://bit.ly/4m5AGqr).    Next week: Final Destination (2000)   Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get two extra episodes! patreon.com/loadbearingbeams    Time stamps: 00:02:40 — Our personal histories with Death Proof 00:13:00 — History segment: The history of grindhouse; the history of Grindhouse  00:31:21 — In-depth movie discussion 01:30:00 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Sources: “House Party: Girls!

You are in for a treat today, pilgrim! I'll be ranking my favorite Western films of all time. I have a feeling many of these films will get a tip of my hat.

The Phoenix Lights: Mass UFO Sighting or Military Cover-Up? Episode Description: In 1997, Arizona's skies were lit up by one of the most famous mass UFO sightings in history—the Phoenix Lights. Was it a silent alien craft, secret military tech, or just a misidentified flare drop? We break down the timeline, examine key witnesses, dig into official responses, and explore the lingering conspiracies that keep this event at the center of UAP debates nearly three decades later. Episode Breakdown:

The wait is over! Season 3 of BSFS kicks off with John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic, Escape from New York!Starring, Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau, Isaac Hayes, Donald Pleasence, and Ernest Borgnine.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget promise to be each other's Huckleberries as they re-watch the cowboy classic: Tombstone! It's a movie all about how when there's no sound law and order the people will go crazy, and having free access to guns will result in murders, and peaceful protests won't do shit when the crazies are still walking around free!!!!! ...We swear this movie takes place in the 1800s! Come along as we meet Wyatt Earp, a lawman who's just trying to retire to the up and coming town of Tombstone Arizona with his brothers and BFF Doc Holiday. When reckless cowboys start messing up the town, Wyatt takes the law into his own hands and basically goes on a Kill Bill inspired killing spree across the desert - with friends! It's got action, laughs, Billy Zane, a kind of love story, and most importantly mustaches. Lots and lots of mustaches. Released in 1993 (the best year for movies), it stars an insane amount of actors including: Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Dana Delany, Billy Bob Thornton, and Billy Zane.

Welcome back, custmers! I recently took a vacation from the video store to go on a cruise with my wife. I've had cruises on the brain ever since, so what better time to recommend some of my favorite films that take place on ships! OVERBOARD (1987)Handyman and single-father Dean Proffitt sees an opportunity to get even with a pompous heiress named Joanna after an accident leaves her with amnesia. Dean takes advantage of the woman's lack of memory and convinces her that she is his wife and the mother of his four children. What starts out as a simple bit of revenge gets complicated as relationships are formed… and broken. Starring real life couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn as Dean and Annie, with appearances from Edward Herrmann, Roddy McDowall, and Mike Hagerty. CABIN BOY (1994)In this utterly bizarre comedy starring Chris Elliott, Nathan Mayweather is a spoiled and tone-deaf “fancy lad” who accidentally boards the wrong ship and finds himself sailing the seas with a grizzled crew of career fishermen. The plot is silly, the jokes are weird, and the comedy is abstract. One moment cabin boy Mayweather is talking to imaginary cupcakes and in the next, he's being rescued from the depths of the ocean by Choki — half-man, half-shark. Cabin Boy was such a box office failure that director Adan Resnick literally never directed another film. I love this movie and my wife will get in her car and leave the house when I watch it. You'll have to decide for yourself if it's for you.THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (1972)If you've ever wondered what's the worst that could happen while sailing on a cruise ship, you'll soon find out. Due to a series of unfortunate events, the unstable ship is knocked over by a 90-foot-tall wave. Passengers must work together to find a way out of the upside-down cruise ship before it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. This multi-Academy Award winner features an all-star cast including Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelly Winters, Red Buttons, Carol Lynley, Roddy McDowall, Jack Albertson, and more. CITY HUNTER (1993)Jackie Chan is known for his wacky action flicks, and this may be the wackiest of them all. In City Hunter, Chan plays Ryu, a private detective hired to find a missing woman. Ryu and his assistant Kaori track the woman to a cruise ship and follow her there, only to discover the ship is being hijacked by terrorists. Ryu is the ultimate ladies man — they love him and he loves them. City Hunter is part comedy and part action. It's like if they remade Porky's and added machine gun wielding terrorists who constantly mow down passengers in cold blood. Is this film for everybody? No. But is it for anybody? Also, maybe not. Jackie Chan said City Hunter is the least favorite film he ever worked on, which made me pick up a copy and add it to the video store's library.Usually when my wife and I go on cruises the only thing I worry about is them running out of pudding or margaritas. After watching these I'll be keeping an eye out for terrorists, gigantic waves, and terrorists. If any of those things happen I'll cross my fingers and hope for amnesia.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.In this episode, Troy and Brad discuss one of the most underrated science fiction films of the last 30 years—a film that raises the intriguing question: “What if Kurt Russell didn't have a mullet?” This week, they delve into the 1998 film Soldier, which some consider a potential sidequel to Blade Runner. This film stretches the limits of "face acting"—and maybe even Paul Anderson's directing chops. Is it worth a second watch? Does Russell manage to leave a mark with just 104 words of dialogue? And will Brad at long last reconcile his oddly specific obsession with child death in cinema? Tune in to find out!Soldier is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Kurt Russell, Jason Scott Lee, Connie Nielsen, Michael Chiklis, and Gary BuseyNot A Bomb has has plenty of spooky designs in our Merch store!

Actor Val Kilmer died on April 1st of this year, after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 65. Kilmer's film career began in the 1980s with iconic turns in the likes of Top Gun and Real Genius, but it was in the 1990s where be became an icon in a decade known primarily one dominated by iconoclasts, starting with his portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's The Doors, and including memorable bit roles in movies like True Romance, replacing Michael Keaton as Batman in Batman Forever, and what man consider his greatest role as Doc Holiday opposite Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp in Tombstone. Kilmer was an avid documentarian of his own life and was rarely without his camcorder. His own video tapes were repurposed to tell the story of his life and career in the moving and insightful documentary Val, directed by Ting Poo and Leo Scott, which captures a man who seems to know his time is almost up reflecting on the lessons of a life extraordinarily lived. That film formed the basis of this conversation between John and Julia discussing the strange life and career of this remarkable actor.

In this episode, we saddle up and head back to the Wild West to break down Tombstone. We revisit the most iconic moments, dive deep into the legendary characters, and explore what makes this Western stand out. From Doc Holliday's unforgettable lines to Wyatt Earp's cold stare, we discuss how the performances—especially Val Kilmer's—elevated the story. We also analyze the themes of justice, loyalty, and legacy, and why this film continues to resonate decades later.Chapters:00:00:00 Intro Convo: 00:01:21 Doc Holiday's final words explained00:03:01 Doc Holiday may be one of the greatest characters of all time00:04:12 Staying pure to the western genre00:09:03 Val Kilmer steals the show despite Kurt Russell's amazing performance00:10:48 Doc Holiday is actually a pretty bad guy00:12:16 Doc Holidays coolest moment you may have missed00:14:03 Kurt Russell's amazing moments00:15:45 How they perfectly introduce the characters00:17:02 How they get Wyatt Earp to be a complete badass00:19:58 Breaking down the latin standoff between Doc & Ringo00:28:17 Diving deep into Wyatt Earp's character00:34:41 Did you catch this inside joke the writer left for you00:40:31 The horror story of making this movie00:43:53 Val Kilmer got absolutely snubbed00:45:44 Wyatt Earp's character arc00:48:00 The real tombstone town00:49:40 The best scene: Doc Holiday vs Johnny Ringo00:51:41 Our official rating of Tombstone00:55:37 The Wyatt Earp vs Tombstone debate00:59:11 Final thoughts: Gun flip01:00:50 Cue the music

When dangerous strangers wreak havoc on yuppie couples — the police protect the stranger! How's a yuppie supposed to guard their investment in decorative glass blocks? This week's episode has the answers as we watch: PACIFIC HEIGHTS (1990) starring Melanie Griffith, Matthew Modine, and Michael Keaton as the con man who's one step ahead.

Welcome back to the Video Store Podcast! Our little store recently celebrated two separate milestones! Not only does March mark the one year anniversary of our fun little podcast, but this just so happens to be the 50th episode of the show, which means I (Rob "Flack" O'Hara), Ashley Thomas, and The Retroist have officially recommended 200 films for your viewing enjoyment. U hope you returned them all on time.For this week's show I had planned to do something that coincided with our show's anniversary… and right as I was walking the store's aisles looking for movies to recommend I learned of the untimely passing of Val Kilmer, which convinced me to change course. Kilmer will be remembered as one of the great actors of our time. From Batman to Willow, Kilmer was woven into the 80s and 90s. The hardest part about this week's show was narrowing my selections down to only four. Top Gun (1986)Ride into the danger zone with this classic from the 1980s starring Tom Cruise as Maverick, Kelly McGillis as Charlie, and Val Kilmer as the one and only Ice Man. When I was a teen I didn't know anyone who hadn't seen this film and yet today it seems many younger film fans skipped it. Featuring an all-star cast and a soundtrack full of hits that will “take your breath away,” Top Gun is a classic that remains watchable and relevant today. Real Genius (1985)In Real Genius, a group of brilliant college students are brought together to work on a project that someone may or may not have nefarious plans for. Val Kilmer is Chris Knight, a loveable, quirky genius who takes a fifteen-year-old genius named Mitch under his wings. Will the geniuses have what it takes to complete their project — and if they do, will they also be able to stop it? Real Genius remains one of my favorite 80s comedies of all time. A guy's gotta have his standards.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)In this old-school pulp detective story dragged into the 20th century, a thief (Robert Downey, Jr.) and a private detective (Kilmer) work together to solve a murder — and then more murders… and then try to avoid getting murdered. This is a fantastic film, dripping with style and unexpected twists and turns. Sit back, relax, and try not to lose the plot… or a finger.Tombstone (1993)No tribute to Val Kilmer would be complete without this film, featuring his iconic performance as Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp's loyal friend. Also starring Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, and several others, Kilmer's performance in Tombstone will never let you forget who's your Huckleberry.Rest in peace, Mr. Kilmer. If you haven't seen any of these in a while (or at all) feel free to check one (or all) of them out — just don't forget to rewind your tapes and have them back on time to avoid late fees.Thanks for visiting our store over the past year. Business is booming and it looks like management will be renewing the lease for another year!Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! This post is public so feel free to share it.

I give you proof that Georgia and Florida simply don't mix, like ever. We learn when a Gator wants to get in your house, even a porch screen door won't stop him. Hewlet Packard thought they had a great idea, and now they don't. You've heard of a bull in a China shop? How about a cow in a barber shop, but it did happen in China. And we sadly say goodbye to Val Kilmer with vintage audio footage of Val being pranked by his buddy Kurt Russell. Hard not to listen to that, because “I'm your huckleberry.”

This episode was originally published in 2019.Mark and John talk about the Kurt Russell classic Tombstone. In this episode, they answer a lot of listener questions, discuss great movie mustaches and wonder what their old west nicknames would be. If you are a fan of Kurt Russell or Tombstone, you will love this episode! Enjoy!

It's the long-awaited return of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK and we've got a barn burner of an episode featuring cinematic podcast royalty Mike White (from The Projection Booth) joining us to chat about the raucous 1980 comedy USED CARS /w Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Deborah Harmon, Frank McRae and Gerrit Graham! But before that we go deep on what the heck happened to Robert Zemeckis, and how USED CARS came about - and how it was turned into a mid-80s TV show (briefly). All this and, of course, a close look at Dick Miller's (brief) appearance, and it's NON-STOP LAUGHS. Trust US! The post Episode 267 – You Don't Know Dick – Used Cars (/w Mike White) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

This week, the team takes on one of the biggest cinematic phenomena of the early '90s: The Bodyguard (1992). A film that smashed box office records, made slow dancing cool again, and somehow convinced us that a love story between a moody security expert and a petulant pop diva was cinema gold. On paper, this had it all: the biggest male movie star in the world, Kevin Costner and the most powerful voice on the planet, Whitney Houston, in her film debut. But does that combo equal instant classic, or is it just a glittery dumpster fire covered in hit singles?Whitey dives headfirst into the spectacle with a hard truth: this movie takes itself way too seriously. We're talking Oscar-level intensity… for what is essentially a Lifetime movie with a better budget. Of course, there's reverence for Costner—because who doesn't love a bit of 1990s mullet-lite Kev, fresh off Robin Hood, JFK, and Dances with Wolves? But even the biggest Costner fans on the panel can't deny that Frank Farmer spends the entire film doing his best impression of an emotionally constipated mannequin.Meanwhile, G-Man marvels at the soundtrack that saved the film from mediocrity. From “I Have Nothing” to the megaton that is “I Will Always Love You,” Houston's vocals are nothing short of breathtaking—and in the end, her voice gives the film its emotional punch. Damo finds himself emotionally moved by the final scene, where the music hits and we remember just how incredible Whitney was. Unfortunately, her performance as Rachel Marron doesn't land quite as well with the crew. Plot holes? Yep, we got ‘em. From inexplicable security failures (three guards for the world's biggest star?) to the mind-boggling moment where a would-be assassin uses a sniper rifle in a room full of Hollywood elites, the film is more Swiss cheese than suspense thriller. Not to mention the infamous scarf-on-the-sword scene, which leads the team to ponder whether a katana counts as foreplay and why no one, ever, draws a curtain in this movie.But The Bodyguard (1992) isn't without its joys. There's the epic needle drops, a lakeside cabin that Damo would happily disappear to forever, and a cast of cartoonishly awful background characters that you're almost rooting for the stalker. The guys also take a detour through Costner's post-Bodyguard career trajectory, which includes Waterworld, The Postman, and the underrated Draft Day.G-Man delivers his signature deep-dive into cast trivia, highlighting everything from Whitney's early gospel roots to her connection with Dionne Warwick, and even a surprise one-degree link to Kurt Russell via the late great Bill Cobbs. There's a healthy debate about whether The Bodyguard was a real movie or just a high-gloss showcase for a chart-topping soundtrack, and somehow, they still manage to rope in Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, Inspector Gadget, and the concept of "vabbing" (yep, it's a thing now).Of course, no episode is complete without the Born to Watch signature segments. The boys dish up their Good, the Bad, and the Ugly—from the iconic knife throw scene and amazing set design, to the complete lack of chemistry between the leads and questionable career choices made by everyone involved. Gage Roads supplies the brews, and Johnny Bull returns with a zinger straight outta Aliens. Oh, and Work Experience Kid cops some heat for trying to bring up brassieres in the Snob's Report. Rookie move.So, was The Bodyguard (1992) a misunderstood masterpiece, or a pop-cultural relic best left in the '90s CD rack? There's only one way to find out. Plug in, turn up the volume, and get ready for the most musically dramatic episode Born to Watch has ever done.
