| 6/24/26 | ![]() Golden Boy (1995) - Episode 125 | THE SEARCHERS PODCAST! Having journeyed through 124 episodes of questions, conversations, rabbit holes, revelations, and the occasional detour into the absurd, Ben and Chris continue onward. Ever since they first set out, they have traveled the highways and byways of cinema—collecting stories, challenging assumptions, and learning about life to the fullest. Striding ahead into Episode 125, microphones at the ready, they continue forth, seeking kino wherever it may be found. And who knows!? Perhaps they're destined to uncover a long forgotten OVA that changes everything. Or... maybe not. Either way, the search continues! Submit your mailbags to us at thesearcherspodcast@gmail.com. Thank you. Please rate us a 5/5, and review us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us. Follow us on Letterboxd.com if you'd like to see what we've recently watched.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Waiting for Guffman (1996) - Episode 124 | Long time listeners know that there are two Schitt’s Creek fans on this show and no, Kevin ain’t one of them, and apparently that needs to be fixed. It’s Ben and Chris! Yet, Kevin’s pick for this episode is a little charmer that stars Schitt’s Creek’s two leads, Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara! In an entry that is sort of a spiritual successor to our episodes reviewing John Candy: I Like Me and Only the Lonely, Chris and Kevin dive into this lesser known mockumentary, imbued with the spirit and talent of two other Second City Television stars and set in a humble city of small-town America where ambition, innocence, and silliness are all wrapped up in one package. Join us because this is a fun one! | 53m 42s | ||||||

| 12/26/25 | ![]() A Christmas Carol (1984) - Episode 110 | A very Merry Christmas to you all! We’ve reached the big day before the new year, and what better choice of a film to cover than Clive Donner’s A Christmas Carol from 1984? For this one, Kevin’s bringing on an old friend of his, Alan, to join us for the show. Through such subtlety in performance, cinematography, and the natural cadence of the screen translation of Charles Dickens’ beloved novella, we take you through the delivery of this single iteration out of a very many and tell you why it truly might be the cream of the crop. A miser’s journey to resurgence and renewal that’s only so fitting for the reason for the season. So without further ado, join us, everyone, for a joyous occasion. Don’t you dare say, “Bah! Humbug!” Or else from under your feet, we’re pulling the rug! Remember to send us your mailbags at thesearcherspodcast@gmail.com! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! | 1h 33m 22s | ||||||
| 12/18/25 | ![]() Eastern Condors (1987) - ep 109 | This week, Eastern Condors takes us back into familiar territory with an artist we never tire of revisiting: Sammo Hung. After covering Mr. Nice Guy and Encounters of the Spooky Kind earlier in 2025, we arrive at our fourth Sammo film on the show—but this time the laughs are traded for gunfire, jungle sweat, and brutal combat. A stark departure from kung fu comedy and supernatural hijinks, Eastern Condors finds the magnetic Hong Kong giant tackling a grim war-action epic, showcasing yet another facet of his remarkable versatility as both performer and filmmaker. Dirty, dangerous, and unrelentingly physical, this is Sammo operating in full men-on-a-mission mode. Joining us for the discussion is again Nick Langdon, helping us break down the film’s intensity, themes, and place within Sammo’s ever-expanding legacy. Is this the last time Sammo Hung marches onto the show? Not a chance. And stick around—next episode, we’re ringing in the season with A Christmas Carol starring George C Scott. Thanks, as always, for listening—and locking in. | 1h 12m 02s | ||||||
| 11/30/25 | ![]() John Candy: I Like Me (2025) - Episode 108 | Alrighty, folks! Following our first John Candy feature, Only the Lonely — which we covered back in 2024 — The Searchers set off on a journey across the North American plains (well, Toronto) and into the warm, lasting memories of the beloved comedian and actor. This time, we’re diving into a heartfelt documentary about the cherished Canadian, directed by Colin Hanks. From fan-favorite roles like Del Griffith to the iconic Uncle Buck, Candy is explored through a more intimate, reflective lens in this new film. What exactly made the John Candy an actor and comedian of such a distinct caliber? How did he manage to connect with us so deeply, even from the other side of a screen? And what does it mean to revisit the work of a performer from a bygone era? Tune in to find out! Please rate us a 5/5 on Apple, Spotify, or Podbean, and review us on Apple.

| 11/24/25 | ![]() Trading Post V: Heroics in the Summer Heat - Episode 107 | The Searchers' Trading Post is back! This edition is a whole lotta 80s since we gave each other Streets of Fire (1984) and The Legend of Billie Jean (1985). The Searchers explore each film’s rebellious spirit, its place in 80s pop culture, the amazing soundtracks, and the unforgettable characters that turned these summer movies into cult legends. Whether you’ve seen them a dozen times or need a reason to finally watch, this conversation delivers. Fair is fair! Please rate us a 5/5 on Apple, Spotify, or Podbean, and review us on Apple.

| 11/12/25 | ![]() R-Point (2004) - Episode 106 | Folks… did you think spooky season was over? It ain’t truly finished yet! Reaching into November now, the autumnal season has brought us to a little mash-up of Horror Adjacent™️ and Veterans Day graces. We’re covering our second South Korean film of the show. In the jungles of Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, a Korean squad, led by Lieutenant Choi, heads into the mist and fog of a mysterious island to rescue a missing platoon. Will they get out alive? Somehow connecting the horror genre with the horrors of war itself, director Kong Su-chang brings us an interesting combination of artful and subtle scares with the injured psyches of soldiers aching to return home. Join Chris and Kevin as they delve into the mysterious jungles of warfare, silhouettes, and ghosts. Hear us out as we make our point for R-point! | 55m 46s | ||||||
| 10/29/25 | ![]() Encounter of a Spooky Kind (1980) - Episode 105 | The Searchers finish out October with Sammo Hung's inventive genre piece Encounter of a Spooky Kind. Nick Langdon joins the gang and helps discuss the ins and outs of this fantastic Horror Adjacent™ piece. Of course there are tangents into Hong Kong cinema, Jackie Chan, Michael Mann, and other random topics; however, we focus mainly on Sammo Hung yet again in NOT our last Sammo movie of 2025. Happy Spooky season to all the listeners! Cheers, mates. Please rate us a 5/5 on Apple, Spotify, or Podbean, and review us on Apple. Submit your mailbags to us at thesearcherspodcast@gmail.com.

| 10/28/25 | ![]() Thirst (2009) - Episode 104 | Following Chris’s pick starring gentle giant Dolph Lundgren, we follow up with Kevin’s pick — a South Korean dark comedy and erotic horror film with Song Kang-ho as a priest who makes a radical decision out of selflessness. With plunges into Catholic humility and lustful sins, it’s a haphazard and treacherous road to find redemption, and really you’d think those concepts would float our boats, wouldn’t it? But as with the ways of the world, it’s not that simple. Join the three of us gabbing about this year’s second Horror Adjacent™️episode on the grand ol’ stagecoach, as its travails bring us over some challenging roads and into a holy man’s transformation into a vampire. A man of love for moral purity has become a vampire’s lust for blood. Be sure your soul hasn’t been corrupted, friends. We won’t be responsible!

| 10/22/25 | ![]() Dark Angel [AKA: I Come in Peace] (1990)- Episode 103 | Is it Halloween, or is it Christmas? Maybe some it's both! Join Kevin and Chris discussing the show's first Dolph Lundgren film. Does he match the undeniable power of Arnie? Are his one-liner's just as good? Tune in and find out on The Searchers' first Horror Adjacent™ episode of 2025... thanks for listening! Please rate us a 5/5 on Apple, Spotify, or Podbean, and review us on Apple.

| 10/12/25 | ![]() Kull the Conqueror (1997) - Episode 102 | Apologies for the delay, it's been a hectic month. Here is a recording from a couple months ago... Chris and Ben review 1997's Kull the Conqueror starring Kevin Sorbo. We'll be back with some Searcher's Horror-Adjacent™ content very soon. Thanks for listening. Thanks to Nostalgic Covers for letting us use this kickass cover of the Joel Goldsmith score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcmsil7uvk8 Please rate us a 5/5 on Apple, Spotify, or Podbean, and review us on Apple.

| 9/29/25 | ![]() Day of the Fight (2023) - Episode 101 | Alright, everyone! Chris and Kevin are back, this time driving The Searchers' stagecoach from wondrous sepia tones and into the graces of beautiful black and white. A sweet film from 2023, bearing a subdued essence and yet proving itself to be such a permeating spear that’ll strike the hearts of those who see and hear. Veteran and iconic director John Huston’s very own grandson, Jack, has taken the reins behind the camera to present his directorial debut, Day of the Fight. Reminiscent of cinematic sports fare such as Stallone’s Rocky and Marty’s Raging Bull, this boxing drama expresses a unique insight into love, faith, romance, and redemption. Trust us… this isn’t the same ol’ thing all over again. So please join us and tune in for this absolutely special film that needs more recognition and more admiration! The underdog fighter vs. the heavy burden that is life. Pick yourselves back up and move forward with us, folks! Whatever you’re going through, never give up. We are rooting for you! | 52m 28s | ||||||
