Hold on to your humanity, because Nemesis (1992) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest co-host Tom Aznable.
Review in a Nutshell: A straight-to-video cyberpunk science fiction mash-up of Blade Runner, Snatcher, and The Terminator, Nemesis (1992) makes up for its derivative story with incredible stunt-work, excellent practical special effects, and ludicrous gun-play. It’s a tremendously enjoyable little film.

Obey the three drink minimum, because FP2: Beats of Rage is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder.
This bonus episode is brought to you thanks to the generous contributions of the GME! Podcast patrons on Patreon.
Review in a Nutshell: A sequel that leans in hard on the rural / suburban absurdities of the first film, FP2: Beats of Rage is a loving homage to very specific period of Millenial pop culture, and whether its style of crass humor and epic fantasy nonsense will appeal to you is anybody’s guess. It hit the sweet spot for me, but my guest feels the film could have been even more exaggerated.

Hold onto your blood, because The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Oli “InvidNinja92” Bulmer.
Review in a Nutshell: An ambitious production troubled by a clash of directorial styles and studio difficulties, the Hammer Films / Shaw Brothers co-production that pits martial heroes against Dracula and his hordes of jiangshi servants is not quite the chocolate / peanut butter combination you would expect from a film that mixes Gothic horror with kung fu action.

Strap on your post-apocalyptic rugby armor, because The Blood of Heroes is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Kara Dennison.
Review in a Nutshell: A sports movie set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, The Blood of Heroes is a surprisingly uplifting film with a spartan script and great performances, make-up, and production design. Don’t sleep on this one, folks. It’s fun on the bun.

Pray for daylight, because Near Dark is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the particularly egregious Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Kyle “ChibiUFO” Foster.
Review in a Nutshell: Part Western, part romance, part vampire film, part motorcycle gang road movie, Near Dark is a film with revolutionary ideas and strong performances that is weakened by the simplicity with which it solves its central problem. Definitely worth a viewing or two.

You can’t keep a good (or even a mediocre) Godzilla down, and this time we’re looking at the aptly named Godzilla 2000 (aka Godzilla: Millenium), the first entry in Toho’s “Millenium” series of giant monster movies. CLICK HERE or on the banner above to join Jeremy and I was we share our experiences of seeing Godzilla in the theater and as we apply a perhaps too-critical lens to a movie featuring noodly space aliens and Hiroshi Abe’s impeccable fashion-sense.

Hold on to your Edison balls, because Rock & Rule is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the Bluray cover above to download our review of the film.
Review in a Nutshell: An oddball mixture of rock music and half a dozen different animation styles, Rock & Rule is hampered by technically difficulties that have little to do with the amount of talent that was poured into its production. At the time of this writing, you can catch a free, legitimate stream of the film from the official Nelvana Retro Rerun Youtube channel, but the quality is not ideal.

Light up your fireworks, because Silver Bullet is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Matt “Saint Mort” Kelly of Horror Movie Night.
Review in a Nutshell: A werewolf movie plagued by odd directorial choices and studio interference, Silver Bullet nonetheless has strong performances from character actors such as Everett McGill that make it worth watching at least once.

Hold your horses, folks, because The Neverending Story is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie title or the Bluray cover above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherin the Great.
Review in a Nutshell: A weirdly existential and somewhat traumatizing West German children’s film, The Neverending Story is a cultural artifact from a very strange and very specific era of the Eighties. They say you can never go home again, and perhaps with this film, that’s true in both the literal and metaphorical senses.

Hold on to your helicopters, because Kong: Skull Island is most definitely the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Oli “InvidNinja92” Bulmer.
Review in a Nutshell: A gleefully violent creature-feature, Kong: Skull Island manages to leave much of the character’s colonial baggage behind. It’s a great little genre fiction romp with some surprising artistic flourishes and a wicked sense of humor.
