Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Saddle up, because My Little Pony: Equestria Girls is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Kara Dennison of conscrewDOTcom and celebrity translator Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: It’s tough to review Equestria Girls in a vacuum since it’s not so much a standalone film as an “Elseworlds” side-story packed with heavy fan-service and inside jokes. We were all pleasantly surprised that we enjoyed it.
Squeeze into your patent leather jumpsuit, because Planet of the Vampires is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Jeremy of Destroy All Podcasts DX.
Review in a Nutshell: A pulpy science fiction / horror film made on no budget whatsoever, Planet of the Vampires nevertheless succeeds because of Mario Bava’s invasive cinematography, the weird aesthetics, and the clever twist. The film conveys a strong sense of tension throughout.
Tune in, turn on, drop out, because UHF is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: UHF is the definition of a cult classic, a movie so odd and off-kilter that you have to wonder how it got greenlit in the first place. A bad movie buoyed up by the talent and enthusiasm of the cast, UHF remains infinitely quotable twenty five years after failing to perform at the box office.
This movie contains:
Parody.
General weirdness.
Red Snapper. (Very tasty.)
Godzilla’s not dead but merely resting, and we’re continuing the Godzilla theme coverage with a review of the much-reviled Godzilla’s Revenge, aka All Monsters Attack. Please note: this film contains neither Godzilla nor revenge, but it does have some harrowing things to say about the plight of latch-key children in post-industrial Tokyo.

You’ve got the Glow, because Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: The Last Dragon is an uneven movie. Half musical, half martial arts journey, the film suffers from a weakly-written protagonist played by a talented young athlete with no previous acting experience. It falls to the supporting cast – especially Julius J. Carry III as Sho’Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem – to carry the film.
Beware of space banditos, because Battle Beyond the Stars is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray disc cover or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Jeff “Rich Lather” Tatarek.
Review in a Nutshell: A science fiction pastiche that borrows liberally from The Magnificent Seven and Star Wars, Battle Beyond the Stars is nonetheless a low-budget romp that showcases a young James Cameron’s eye for production design and also includes colorful performances from veteran character actors.
This movie contains:
John Saxon, Space Tyrant.
Melancholy Lizardmen.
Hey, man. It’s impolite to point.
Break out the impromptu guitar jam sessions, because Phantasm is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Tom Pandich of Tomics! by Tom!!! and the Alter Ego’s podcast.
Review in a Nutshell: Phantasm is a shining example of that rarest breed of horror film – the horror movie that functions on a symbolic level. Strange, dream-like, and surreal, it’s a movie that constantly challenges the viewers’ expectations.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Owie!
Get ready to walk the Road to Hell, because Shogun Assassin (aka Lone Wolf and Cub) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the British DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: A mash-up of the first two Lone Wolf and Cub films, Shogun Assassin stands on its own merits thanks to its original contributions, such as the weird electronic soundtrack and Daigoro’s voice-over. It’s an excellent introduction into the world of chanbara and jidaigeki films.

Get ready to fire all your ammunition at that scary moth,
because Phantoms is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Dave and Joel from Fast Karate for the Gentleman.
Review in a Nutshell: This movie is entirely forgettable. Dean Koontz’s writing causes temporary amnesia. Wait, what were we talking about again? Who are you people? What is this place?
