Videodrome Radio Podcast

It's adventure time at Videodrome Radio (Note: Not "Adventure Time") with a pair of blonde & brunette buddies confronting the greatest threats ever to their friendships.  (Whoa!)  Join us for our reviews of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).

Tonight, on our special Mother's Day edition: movies about moms, Game of Thrones recap (so-far), Star Trek Into Darkness preview, and --=TOTAL SPOILER=--- the original Star Trek Into Darkness: Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

Repo Man (1984) is finally out on Blu-Ray!  Now we can all follow the Repo Man code in High Definition!  Also, Shane Carruth's new production, a Shane Carruth film, starring Shane Carruth, is out.  It's called Upstream Color (2013).  As with his last movie, Primer (2004), Shane Carruth also did the soundtrack.  Find out more exciting facts on this edition of Videodrome Radio!

Tonight!  Tales of death and dis-rememberment!  Roger Ebert, R.I.P!  Mr. Salamander takes on the remake of Evil Dead (2013), Hank takes on the original Delta Force (1986), and together they take on Steve McQueen's version of The Blob (1958)!  Also -- SPOILER ALERT -- there is talk of things that may, may not, should not, or should have happened on the Season 3 premiere of Game of Thrones.  Ye have been warned!

This week, Hank, Mr. Salamander, and Uncle J.J. talk about some Game of Thrones news, the new Star Trek: Into Darkness international trailer, the original series Star Trek episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (1966), Lon Chaney in The Penalty (1920), a follow-up on the guys who made Bellflower (2011) and their new Kickstarter adventure, and Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers (2013).

Mr. Salamander and Hank are joined by Uncle J.J. and Miss Winette as they discuss the World Baseball Classic, George Lucas's business savvy, Japanese Shy-Guy's review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), Evil Dead 4 vs. Army of Darkness 2, Beetle Juice (1988), Grizzly Man (2005), and the original Star Trek episode, "Charlie X" (1966).

Why is anyone shocked at what Seth McFarlane did as the host of "The Oscars™"?  We weren't.  We were shocked that Jack the Giant Slayer was #1 in the box office, but not at all shocked that it only made $26M.  (That'll teach 'em!)  Ignore these crummy remakes and listen to our review of Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951).

On this post-Valentine's Day show, Mr. Salamander and Hank watch the Blu-Ray of the debut Star Trek episode, "The Man Trap" (1966), where Dr. McCoy first gets his heart broken.  They also watch the new Blu-Ray of On the Waterfront (1954), where former boxer Terry Malloy first gets his heart broken, then his face.

Hank & Mr. Salamander discuss J.J. Abrams & Star Wars/Trek, Homemade Sci-Fi movie Drono (2012), and Wim Wenders' Pina (2011) in 3D! 

In this abbreviated episode, Hank and Mr. Salamander have the Golden Globes on in the background as they talk about Oscar nominations, Godzilla, Frank Darabont, and Destroy All Monsters (1968).

Uncle J.J. joins Mr. Salamander and Hank to talk about George Lucas, more Star Trek Into Darkness speculation, Jack Reacher (2012), and Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989).

Our last show from 2012 features questions about who the villain is supposed to be in the new Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) trailer, plus reviews for Lincoln (2012), The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), and Django Unchained (2012).

Tonight, Dr. Katz joins Mr. Salamander and Hank to discuss Dark Star (1974), Killing Them Softly (2012), dubstep, and Rashomon (1950).

Join the gents as they discuss new action movie trailers, a really bad mother, and spoilers galore* of the new James Bond movie, Skyfall (2012). *No relation to Pussy Galore.

Big news this week!  Lucasfilm sold to Disney!  Also: Hitchcock Blu-Ray Box, Universal Monsters Box, Phantom of the Opera (1925) Blu-Ray, an "Interesting Death," and Wreck-It Ralph (2012).

Hank and B.K. are back with Mr. Salamander to discuss an interesting death, Fear and Desire (1953), and the Universal Monsters Blu-Ray set.

Hank & B.K. are still on assignment, so Mr. Salamander and the teen gang co-hosts, Miss Winette & Dr. Katz, discuss Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011), The Master (2012), Marwencol (2010), and Beware the Gonzo (2010).

Hank is on assignment and B.K. is M.I.A., so Mr. Salamander invites a couple of upstanding citizens to guest host the show.  Also, we talk about Looper (2012).

On the docket this week: Our Man In Havana (1959), Louie (2012), Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee (2012), and Looper (2012).  (It's like we're stuck in 2012...)

We're back in the studio at KSCU and -- much like the swallows at San Juan Capistrano -- B.K. has returned!  We talk about the new Hobbit trailer, an interesting death, Buster Keaton's The Navigator (1924), Robot & Frank (2012), and David Fincher's The Game (1997).
