| 7/29/24 |  5. Is It Too Early To Call Top Gun: Maverick a Classic? | Glaring Admissions | Nick and Raekwon are back to chat about Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick on the latest episode of Glaring Admissions! Be sure to drop your thoughts on whether or not the 2022 sequel to Top Gun can really be considered a classic already down in the comments, as well as your thoughts on the series as a whole. | — | ||||||
| 7/1/24 |  4. Independence Day (Should We Celebrate Independence Day?) | Glaring Admissions | Independence Day is a 1996 action/disaster blockbuster that was directed by Roland Emmerich. It stars Bill Pullman, Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum (among many others) as humans forced to scramble to fight off an alien invasion in the days leading up to the 4th of July. The film was released to massive success back in the 90s and briefly held the title as the second highest grossing film of all time (behind Jurassic Park). Despite it's popularity, and it's notability for helping jumpstart Will Smith's film career, it's also a movie that has received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike for close to thirty years now. Which brings us to this video: Should we celebrate ID4? Is it actually a good movie? Welp, that's what here to find out. | — | ||||||
| 4/26/24 |  2. Total Recall is Apparently Indiana Jones on Mars? | Glaring Admissions | Total Recall is a 1990 Paul Verhoeven directed adaptation of the Phillip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid, a construction worker who dreams of going to Mars and stops at Rekall Incorporated to have the memories of one such trip implanted into his brain. However, something goes wrong. It appears that "Douglas" has actually been a spy who's been to mars all along! He'll now have to get back to the red planet and figure out what happened to himself before he's captured by the shadowy "organization" that seems to want to keep him from there! Join Nick and Raekwon as they chat about this classic action movie in this episode of Glaring Admissions: A Media Obscura Podcast. | — | ||||||

I wouldn't say it's a good time, but it's a time. Check out some of our other vintage and strange movie/television discussions at https://themediaobscura.com/ | — | ||||||

On this weeks Media Obscura, the gang checks out 2010s horrid mockbuster, Titanic II!

Commercial Cavalcade #2 (Arsenio) | Team Obscura revisits 21 retro and vintage TV ads/commercials, as well as discovers that Nick was duped into mistaking Arsenio Hall as Wesley Snipes 6 years ago, something that he actually feels pretty terrible about.
