Sorcerer (1977), directed by William Friedkin, is a tense, gritty thriller about four desperate men hired to transport unstable explosives through a dangerous jungle. The film is slow-burning but relentlessly stressful, building dread through atmosphere rather than dialogue. Its practical stunts and harsh realism make it feel raw and exhausting in the best way. Often overlooked, Sorcerer is now considered a cult classic. And, one of us wishes for Jesse Ventura to run for president.

Sorry for the delay in releasing this audio. Computer issues! Anyway, Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic survival management game where you guide a family taking refuge in an underground bunker after a global catastrophe. You manage resources like food, water, and shelter integrity while scavenging the wasteland, crafting equipment, and fending off threats. The game focuses heavily on tough moral choices, long-term survival, and the emotional weight of protecting your family in a harsh world.

Time for a very subjective list of our "Top Five" episodes of Rod Serling's classic Science Fiction series, The Twilight Zone (1959–64). We will highlight five standout episodes, one by one, and give what makes them great!

We're back to talk about Joe Piscopo! "Dead Heat" (1988) is a cult classic action-horror-comedy film that blends buddy-cop tropes with zombie horror and dark humour.Directed by: Mark Goldblatt (better known as an editor on films like The Terminator and Commando)Starring:Treat Williams as Detective Roger MortisJoe Piscopo as Detective Doug BigelowLindsay FrostVincent Price (in one of his final roles)Darren McGavinWhile Dead Heat wasn’t a huge box office hit, it's appreciated by fans of 80s horror-comedy and has become a cult favourite thanks to its unique concept, offbeat humour, and nostalgic charm.

Looks like this is another episode that got stuck in a "draft vortex" and wasn't published. It was recorded 5 months ago and probably aged like fine milk, but... why let that stop me?

Remember when "Blame Canada" was a joke?

FYI, this is a very Trump-heavy episode. I'm finding it difficult to think about entertainment when my country is under attack. One thing I'd like to correct: When talking about the Canadian soldiers and the soup cans, I said "WW2" a couple of times when I meant "WW1." Sorry. Here are some links that expand on what I talked about. Check these out for yourself. Go even further than the links I provide. Propaganda is hard for everyone to spot all of the time. Never take what someone says on YouTube or during a podcast at face value. Seek the truth from credible sources for yourself.

A typo initially titled this as episode 227, hence the conversation about the old show, 227. Oops.

There are 46 minutes about the US election and 46 minutes about fun stuff. Split down the middle, like the voting-eligible population of America.

This episode will discuss M. Night Shyamalan's The Visit and Split, Star Trek: The Next Generation wrap-up, Mr. Inbetween, many horror films, and whatever Richard has up his sleeves.
