The Island of Dr. Moreau has the ignoble distinction of being the only movie to appear on this podcast twice. But, to be fair, the first episode was in dire need of further conversation. Thus, we've gone back to the island with all manor of misfit mutants. As we suspected, the film remains just as bizarre as ever. Like the ill-fated experiments of the titular doctor, The Island of Dr. Moreau itself is a Frankenstein's monster. Hurricanes, clashing egos, and an emergency director swap (that's not even the half of it) all ensured that this would be just as odd offscreen as it was on. And believe us, all the on-set discord shows in the final product. Yet there is something unexplainably watchable about this movie. Val Kilmer is at his campiest, and Marlon Brando saves what would be a dull affair with his flair for the absurd. Watch it and wonder how it even exists at all. Now, sit back, mutate your mind with a BajaJack Salted Lime Lager from SanTan Brewing Co., and go on two legs!

Comedian Greg Warren joins Adam in studio to talk about his new YouTube special THE CHAMP and Adam's uncanny ability to riff endlessly on just about anything. The two dive into the absurdities of everyday life, from coffee stirrers and peanut butter to Greg's former life as a Jif salesman. They also debate whether BBQ is better on the road or at home, and take a nostalgic turn with deep dives into Deacon Jones commercials, The A-Team, Run Joe Run, and Renegade—all of which, they agree, owe a creative debt to The Fugitive. Greg also shares a surprising story about how Lorenzo Lamas played a small but pivotal role in his decision to pursue comedy full time.Jason “Mayhem” Miller later joins the show to break down the day's headlines, including the surprising fact that no city in California made the list of the top 250 places to live in the U.S. They also cover Mayor Karen Bass signing executive orders to keep film production in Los Angeles, along with the controversy surrounding the lack of digital communications from her office during the 2025 wildfires.Legendary filmmaker David Zucker rounds out the episode with a look back at his groundbreaking career in comedy, from Kentucky Fried Movie and Airplane! to The Naked Gun and Scary Movie 3 & 4. David talks about working with Val Kilmer, reflects on being pushed out of the upcoming Naked Gun reboot, and recounts how close his house came to being evacuated during recent fires.

Real Genius was Val Kilmer's second big screen appearance. His first, Top Secret!, we also covered on this podcast. Like that one, Real Genius is a tremendous showcase for his immense acting talents. This is a truly great 80s comedy, propelled by the infinite charisma of Kilmer as brilliant slacker Chris Knight. It doesn't hurt that William Atherton plays his despicable foil Professor Jerry Hathaway. Atherton just excels at playing an asshole. Thus, as Knight relishes in making a fool of him, the audience can't help but laugh. Alas, Real Genius is on this pod for a reason. Despite being a cult classic now, it fared poorly upon its release, grossing $13 million on a budget of $8 million. Thankfully, people smartened up, cementing its rewatchable status over the years.  Now, sit back, get inspired with a Space Food from Warped Wing Brewing Co., and fill out those entries for the Frito-Lay sweepstakes!

In Episode 409 of Friends Talking Nerdy, hosts Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into a heartfelt and wide-ranging discussion that spans Hollywood, professional wrestling, and British sci-fi.The episode opens with a tribute to the legendary actor Val Kilmer, who recently passed away. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd reflect on Kilmer's diverse and iconic filmography, sharing personal stories and thoughts on his most memorable performances. From the enigmatic Jim Morrison in The Doors to the cool intellect of Real Genius, the hosts explore Kilmer's range and charisma. They praise his unforgettable turn as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, his magical role in Willow, and even delve into the controversy and stylistic flair of Batman Forever. The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn as they examine The Chaos Experiment, a lesser-known film with eerie relevance to today's U.S. political climate, underscoring Kilmer's later-career choices and the unexpected legacy some of his work may leave. Naturally, no conversation about Kilmer would be complete without mentioning Top Gun, a film that helped define an era and cemented Kilmer's place in pop culture history.Next, Tim the Nerd switches gears to the squared circle as he offers his insights into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees. He celebrates the long-overdue induction of Triple H, reflecting on his in-ring legacy and behind-the-scenes influence. Tim also discusses Michelle McCool's contributions to the women's division, the undeniable charisma and strength of Lex Luger, and the tag-team chaos brought by The Natural Disasters—Earthquake and Typhoon. A special segment is devoted to the induction of one of wrestling's most iconic moments: Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13—an induction not of a person, but of a legendary match that defined the Attitude Era. Tim explores how this match's storytelling and in-ring psychology continue to influence professional wrestling to this day.Finally, the episode wraps up with Tim sharing his initial reactions to the new season of Doctor Who on Disney+. Despite high hopes, he expresses disappointment, critiquing a perceived disconnect between the show's creative intentions and what actually makes it to screen. Tim explores how Doctor Who's new direction may be missing the emotional and narrative impact longtime fans expect, offering a thoughtful take on what's working and what's falling short.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Send us a textThis scientific romp was part of the ultimate trio released in August 1985. Real Genius, Weird Science, and My Science Project were released within one week of each other and just one month after Back to the Future. With Martha Coolidge at the helm, this movie spared the usual sophomoric fare we all love the '80s for. I love those sentence-ending prepositions. I ain't know much, but I know what I like. And I likes me some Val Kilmer. With no pandering to the usual bully/nerd tropes, this movie was rewritten and executed in a way that reveres the nerds and underdogs, full stop.

Val Kilmer was an actor's actor. The rare sort of movie star whose focus was always on creating the best performance possible. Even when not the leading man, he through himself into every role, always elevating what had been written on the page into something special. Over the course of an impressive 30 year career, Val was shaped by the Hollywood machine into a bonafied movie star. From lighter fair like Top Secret and Real Genius to performances in Tombstone, The Doors, Willow, Heat and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang... Val proved there was no genre he couldn't master. No character he couldn't make memorable and, perhaps most impressive, wholly his own. His contributions to the film industry are as vast as they are undeniable. Val Kilmer passed away from pneumonia on April 1, 2025 at the age of just 65. For this tribute episode, we discuss 12 of what we consider to be his most important films. ----------------------------------------Retro Ridoctopus is:• Parasite Steve (read)• 8-Bit Alchemy (listen) • Coopster Gold (join) • Nintenjoe (subscribe)----------------------------------------All original heavy metal music by Enchanted Exile

2024's Road House is surprisingly watchable, even if it pales in comparison to the original. Jake Gyllenhaal does a serviceable job as Elwood Dalton—the bouncer with a penchant for violence but a heart of gold. And the general premise of a man who busts up bar fights for a living is still wildly entertaining. Where this one stumbles is the odd use of CGI to make the fights appear more "brutal." It's often distracting and offputting. Not distracting enough, though, to make you forget how bland and boring Billy Magnussen's villainous Brandt is. He lacks any semblance of the sleaze Ben Gazzara brought as Brad Wesley. Honestly, and it is baffling to type this, the movie is kind of saved by the ludicrous performance of Conor McGregor. He may be high as hell on blow, but he definitely understands the assignment. Now, sit back, get belligerent with an Orange Blossom Pilsner2 from Orange Blossom Brewing Co., and take it outside!

“The force of his will is the thing I remember about him,” says Taffy Brodesser-Akner, who wrote a profile of Val Kilmer for The New York Times Magazine in May 2020. “He was sure he was going to come back to his exact former self. ”The two met for an interview just as a lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic seemed all but certain to happen.Mr. Kilmer, who was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and had undergone a tracheotomy, was still performing. Mr. Brodesser-Akner credits him with providing “the first whiff of overarching hope and positivity that I'd witnessed in I couldn't remember how many months.”“What does somebody do when the thing that they are known for, which is being a superhero, which is being an action hero, which is being handsome, which is being this sort of picture of good health and vigor, what do you do next?” she said. “And a lot of people, they fade away. But that's not how it went for Val. ”Mr. Kilmer, who played classic roles such as Batman and Iceman in “Top Gun,” died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 65.
