Apocalypse Video

Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?The date is June 25th, 1982. Eye of the Tiger is holding steady on the charts at #8. And a film from Burt Reynolds's old buddy, Hal Needham, is about to light up the screen with some rocket propelled motorcycles.The film...is Megaforce. And it's about to para-drop...now!I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we light up some multicolored smoke and ride our rocketbikes across the desert are fellow cinephiles and soldiers of fortune Mike and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include the low bar of knowing what is happening in a movie (a feat that Megaforce does not achieve); Barry Bostwick leaves little to the imagination as he models the tightest jumpsuits put to screen; and finally, we bask in the awesome grandeur that is Introvision and the climax that spawned one of the all time great Gifs.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

When Where Were You in ‘82 continues, we’ll join Mrs. Brisby as she searches for a cure for her dying weiner of a son in The Secret of Nimh.

Hello, and welcome to Apocalypse Video’s look at the gentle giants of the sea: Whales. All month long, we’ll be discussing everything from Orcas, to Humpback Whales, as well as a special once in a lifetime look at one of the rarest whale species on the planet.This…is Febwhaleary.In this first installment, we will be covering perhaps the most popular whale in the public consciousness: the Orca - otherwise known as the Killer whale. But not all Orcas behave like their infamous moniker, some are gentle giants, case in point, tonight's subject: Willy. A performer for years before his eventual debut in Hollywood, Willy is perhaps the most popular killer whale in the world. Although his true life story is not as hopeful as his motion picture alter ego…I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on this quest to stop a power-mad Michael Ironside are fellow cinephiles and Willy fans, Mike and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include the depressing story of Keiko (aka: Willy), and why it’s never a good idea to turn a Killer Whale into a Golden Retriever; we’ll also talk about whether Michael Madsen and Michael Ironside are too menacing in this movie or not menacing enough; and finally, we’ll get into Ryan’s childhood obsession with whales and how he may have gone down a different path in life had he lived closer to a Seaworld.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Febwhaleary will continue next week, as we take a look at a whale that more embodies the ominous nature of its “killer” moniker: next week we watch the 1977 creature thriller…Orca.

Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we’re giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan’s most devilish and diabolical filmography…and that includes Belezbob's funnier side.On this installment of Satanuary, the devil assumes the form of Elizabeth Hurley and gives incel loser, Elliot Richards, seven wishes to win the love of a woman he’s barely spoken to and desperately wants to have sex with. Prepare yourself for the film Us Weekly described as “Hell-acioulsly funny”; it’s Bedazzled (a Harold Ramis Joint).I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow cinephiles and slaves to Elizabeth Hurley’s power Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include how Bedazzled feels like a jumbled mess of rejected SNL sketches; we endure what basically feels like the epitome of the early 2000’s comedy (replete with a deluge of gay panic jokes); and finally, we try to break down the ultimate message of the film…which I guess is that true love exists, as long as you wait around until you meet a clone of yourself that you can fall in love with…? I guess…?Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

When we return we’ll be closing up the hell portal that is Satanuary as we bask in the warm, face melting goop of…The Devil’s Rain.

To anyone who gets this message; this is David Snider, manager of Apocalypse Video in Sector 2 – and my employees and I have been kidnapped!!! We’re being held hostage by a crazed, former malignant tumor named Madolyn! She’s forcing us to watch this bizarre and twisted movie called “Holiday in Handcuffs”! She says she’s starting a new holiday tradition and we’re to be the first converts to her cause!It’s terrible…the story makes no sense – why doesn’t Mario Lopez just keep screaming at the top of his lungs that he’s been kidnapped by Melissa Joan Hart instead of giving up after thirty seconds? What’s the deal with this old pirate gun? Why is everyone in the movie a pervert? Why does – wait…oh, god. She’s coming back…and she’s carrying red, mink covered handcuffs! Please, for the love of god, HELP US!! This movie is terrible!!!Ahem, excuse the crazy ramblings of Dave. He likes to pretend he’s been kidnapped every New Year’s Eve. It’s this weird inside joke that he loves to do. Anyway, I’m Madolyn, and I’ll be running things on this episode. I’m joined by fellow cinephiles and hostages - errr, I mean, "willing participants in this seasonal screening of a holiday classic", Dave, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include the surprising amounts of horniness depicted in ABC Family movies; we break down the art of making a fun-bad Christmas movie; and finally, we check in with an old Disney Channel mainstay as she addresses the controversial goings on over on her Instagram page.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
