Nothing says Christmas like Road House!
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we gather around the bandstand and throw beer bottles at the chicken wire are fellow cinephiles and Double Deuce regulars Mike, Ryan, and special guest: Cody.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Road House is basically John Wick for bouncers; we lament the transformation of the Double Deuce from a divey road house to a glorified TGI Fridayās; and finally, we touch on the Jake Gyllenhaal remake and how it lost the spiritual and philosophical center that made the 1989 film such a classic (also, how it cast Connor McGregor in a lead roleā¦BIG mistake).

Thatāll do it for this action packed interruption to our regular Christmas programming. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And donāt forget the one who made all of this holiday cheer possibleā¦Brad Wesley. After all, there wouldnāt be a JCPenney in the greater Jasper area without him! -
Why, hello there and welcome back. Whatā¦? Did you really think that was the end of the Christmas special? Heck, no! Weāre only up to Act II. And I hope you went to the bathroom between episodes, because this next part of the story may make you pee your pants a littleā¦and believe me, I know a thing or two about peeing your pants.
Iām your narrator, Davey, and Iām gonna tell you about the time that Dave, Ryan, Mike and Nick watched the 1997 snowman slasher Jack Frost.
Topics of discussion in this episode include a 90ās video store staple that feels like an R-rated live-action Goosebumps; we pour one out for the troubled production of Jack Frost and itās inability to conjure snow for itās winter setting; and finally, we raise an eyebrow at the filmās suspicious wiki entries and wonder if the filmās director is rewriting history.

Well, hi there! The nameās Davey - Dave Davey - and Iām gonna tell you the tale of the Apocalypse Video Christmas Specialā¦that almost wasnāt. It seems that the store manager at Sector 2ās favorite video store got word that people were getting just plain fed up over all the themed episodes this year. And wouldnāt ya know it, he went and decided to cancel the year end Christmas Special! Thankfully, Mike, Ryan, and Nick put their brains together and came up with a plan to save the annual Christmas Special from the tyranny of that Grinch-like store manager, Dave.
So put in your earbuds and sit a spell, while I recount the magical tale of Apocalypse Videoās Jack Frost Christmas Special Trilogy.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the freakish and terrifying introduction of our titular hero; we debate the practicality of January Junctionās āIce Moneyā system; and finally, Dave takes Pardon-Me Pete to task and accuses him of being a narcissistic con man.

Evil has finally found a home.
The year is 1993. The Friday the 13th series has been dormant for four long years. Paramount is out. New Line Cinema is in. What does this maverick film studio responsible for bringing us the likes of Freddy Krueger have planned for one of the most popular cinema icons of the 1980s?
Well, Iāll tell yaā¦...demon worms and Hell, babyyyy! Bring on the Fan-Fictioney nonsense!!!
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we gulp down some demon worms are fellow cinephiles and hellspawn Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and Nick āImmortan Hoofā.
Topics of discussion in this episode include more false advertising as to the final-ness of Jasonās demise; we ponder the convoluted details of the sting operation set up by Crystal Lakeās SWAT department; and finally, I guess Jason is into BDSM nowā¦? Sure, why not?

Well, itās December, and the holidays are officially upon us. Am I excited, you ask? Wellā¦no. To be honest, this time of year always gets me nervous. All the pressure to deliver on a fun holiday themed episode after the combined promotions of Hot Daveās Summer Film Fest and Shocktober?! Itās enough to drive a video store manager/podcast host insane! If only there was a sports film with an inspirational speech that could cure me of these pre-show jittersā¦
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we form our own bobsled team are fellow cinephiles and disgraced former Olympians Cody and Janna.
Topics of discussion in this episode include a sports movie that has it all, including a highly Disney-fied version of the real story; we wonder if Sanka secretly sabotaged the groupās chances at the Gold; and finally, I notice a startling sound effect make an appearance from a certain Galaxy Far, Far Awayā¦

Theorizing that one could review enough movies to resurrect the art form, video store manager David Snider stepped into the Hilton Star Trek simulatorā¦and vanished.
He awoke to find himself trapped in the past reviewing movies and shows that he'd never seen, and driven by an unknown force to bring Cinema back to the wasteland. His only guide on this journey is Janna, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Dave can see and hear.
And so Dave finds himself leaping from show to show, striving to review what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next review will be for Avatar 3.
Iām your host and leaper, Dave, and joining me on my first Quantum Leap are fellow friends from the future Janna and Mike.
Topics of discussion in this leap include an analysis of that terrible Season 5 remix of the Quantum Leap theme song; we collectively thirst over the sex icon that is Al Calavicci; and finally, we take a brief look at the amazing life of radio sex therapist and trained sniper, Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

Family is forever.
On tonightās episode we return to Rob Zombieās Haddonfield where we get a front row seat inside the mind of Michael Myers; a mind filled with white horses, flashbacks, and more David Lynchian imagery than an episode of Twin Peaks. Itās Halloween IIā¦again.
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to drink the Halloween II kool-aid are fellow cinephiles and Rabbit in Red Lounge regulars, Ryan and Nick āImmortan Hoofā.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Halloween II is a gorier, yet somehow less disgusting sequel (at least as far as the white trash element is concerned); we breakdown the differences between the Theatrical slash job (no pun intended) and the Unrated Directorās Cut; and finally, Sam Loomis morphs from a man who wanted to protect the world from Evil into an asshole who only cares about the benjamins and how good he looks on TV.

Evil has a Destiny.
If thereās one thing scarier than Michael Myers, itās the Harvey Weinstein produced era of the Halloween franchise. Strap in for some white trash horror as we travel back to the year 2007 and see what Mr. Rob Zombie has in store for us with his much maligned remake of Halloween.
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we sift through mounds of candy corn to get to some real candy are fellow cinephiles and former Smithās Grove patients Ryan and Nick āImmortan Hoofā.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Rob Zombie turns Michaelās origin story into more of a twisted superhero tale; we wonder where Michael Myers is getting all of that protein powder in the sanitarium; and finally, we ask - Is Michael Myers one of only two patients in Smithās Grove? For real, we see one other patient in the entire movie and she exists simply as rape fodder for a couple of white trash scumbags. I mean, what the hell is with this movie?!?!

On the final episode of the Gothtober Spooktacular, weāre packing up our bags and moving to Santa Carla, murder capital of the world, where weāll ride dirt bikes, hang off the bottom of bridges, and drink each otherās blood while downing a takeout box of maggots and wormsā¦Itās The Lost Boys.
Iām your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me as we wax our muscles and shine our saxophone's are fellow familiarās Mike, Cody, and Janna.
On this episode we talk about what it means to be goth in the late 80s with stupid fashion victims like Corey Haim everywhere; weāll also fall into a thirst trap with that saxophone guy; and finally, Janna and Mike start writing some Lost Boys fan fiction on the spot and make the Michael / David onscreen relationship even sexier.

They donāt call it the Curse for nothing.
On tonightās episode of the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular, we travel to the Great White North, all the way to Bailey Downs, where two goth sisters have to contend with periods, horny bleacher boys, stupid cheerleader girlsā¦and lycanthropy ā itās Ginger Snaps!
Iām your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me as we pose for some death pics are fellow posers and werewolves, Kara and Andrew.
Stuff we talk about on this episode include how Ginger Snaps should totally be shown as a gnarly form of sex-ed in public schools; we talk about the mom and her weird ass Period Cake; and finally, we totally call it early and declare Ginger Snaps as the gothiest goth film of Gothtober.

Believe in angels.
The Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular continues as we trade the powers of Manon for the gun toting, face paint wearing badassdom of The Crow.
Iām your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me are my fellow Devilās Night partygoers Mike, Nick āImmortan Hoofā, and special guests: Madolyn and Cody.
On this episode we talk The Crow, which is basically likeā¦the Goth Starter Kit; weāll also get out-gothed when Madolyn says she totally digs on Tin Tinās serial killer vibes; and finally, we have to bow in respect to freakinā style icon, Ernie Hudson, as he like, totally doesnāt give a shit about fashion and stuff, as he walks around his apartment in his underwear, a T-shirt, and his policemanās hat.

In the neo post-apocalyptic wastelandā¦the last video store on Earth still spreads the lost art of cinemaā¦
But during the month of Octoberā¦its employees, and some special guests, shine a spotlightā¦on Goth.
Welcome to the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular, Iām your poser Goth host, David Snider, and I'm joined by my fellow witches with normal sized heads, Kara and Janna.
Topics of discussion in this episode include whether Skeet Ulrich and Breckin Meyer pass or fail the Hot or Not Test; The Craft teaches us that not all mumbling strangers who brandish snakes are bad; and finally, the question that has plagued us on past episodes returns: what exactly did people in the 90s and 2000s have against big asses?

Captainās Log, Stardate 4842.46
After a long and sexy summer of covering nothing but dance films, the crew is excited to get back to the world of Star Trek with season threeās, The Paradise Syndrome. I have instructed Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie to watch their step while reviewing this episode, lest they find themselves waking up in a dark room with odd looking machinery, asking themselves, āThis is not my beautiful starshipā¦this is not my Native American wifeā¦HOWā¦did I get here??
Iām your host and captain, Dave, and joining me again as we travel through the final frontier of the Original Series of Trek are fellow Trekkies Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie.
Topics of discussion in this episode include Captain Kirkās flagrant disregard of the Prime Directive; a leaf blower signals the beginning of the end for the inhabitants of a doomed planet; and finally, James T. Kirk has his sixth best relationship of the series as he gets friendly with a young native american woman on Planet California.

The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast will return with Balance of Terror. -
The mindless, murderous fury that was buried with Jason has been reborn. And suddenly, terror has become child's play!
Well, here we are again, folks. Another Friday the 13th, another obligatory Friday the 13th episode. After so many installments, how can the filmmakers possibly top all that has come before? Are we going to get more gruesome kills? Are they going to have an even more disgusting looking version of Jason? ā No. What we get this time are hillbillies, random greasers, and a fake Jason that can barely swing a machete. As the filmās esteemed hillbilly Ethel would say, āeat your fuckinā slop!ā.
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we watch the Friday the 13th franchise reach new depths of sleaze are fellow cinephiles and crazed ambulance drivers Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the infamous Roy (aka: Fake Jason), and how we should have had a scene where heās granted Jason powers via dark magic (because why the hell not?); we look behind the scenes at the (alleged) hardcore drug use reported on the set and how the filmās director was (allegedly) a huge creep; and finally, we ask exactly what the hell was wrong with the kids in this halfway home? Because all we are shown is that a handful suffer from excessive horniness, one a stutter, and another a chocolate addiction.

And remember, never eat enchiladas unless youāre within ten to twenty feet of an outhouse. -
The dark side of nature.
Apocalypse Video is back and weāve got a brand new theme song, baby! That isā¦we have two brand new theme songs. It seems we have a little controversy on our hands. Mike claims that Ryan has stolen his new theme song, while Ryan - in a surprising and out of nowhere southern accent - claims he merely took an āunrealizedā theme song and improved upon it. Thankfully, the answer to this debacle may lie in todayās episode, the 1996 box office hit Twister, in which two groups of storm chasers battle for tornado research dominance, with a stolen concept at the route of their hatred for each other. Will we be able to answer whoās theme song is better by the end of the episode?
Who cares?! Weāve got cows!!!
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we blast some Van Halen and avoid getting impaled in the face with flying debris are fellow cinephiles and storm chasers Mike and Ryan.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Twister perfectly masks the sound of the audience munching on popcorn; we break down the completely unfair and shitty treatment of Jami Gertzās āDr. Melissa Reevesā by nearly every character in the film; and finally, we compare the climaxās F-5 tornado to Michael Myers as it mercilessly stalks and kills its victims.

There are those who believe that podcasts here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes ofneckbeard film fans who may have been the forefathers of the movie review podcast. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now podcast to survive, somewhere beyond Apocalypse Videoā¦
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best to hide some contraband booze from security is my faithful companion and trusted advisor, āNickā Immortan Hoof.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the noticeable downshift in quality as the show loses its TV movie prestige and enters its ājust TVā phase; Commander Adama makes some creepy passes at his soon to be daughter in law; and finally, we laugh at Baltarās false sense of superiority and his insatiable desire to splay while in his high chair.

Get some action!
Ahhh, another summer film promotion in the books, and I gotta say...as owner of Apocalypse Video and Executive Producer of Hot Daveās Summer Film Fest, I think we really knocked it out of the park this year (my so called friends waterboarding and ridiculing me for my love of Flashdance notwithstanding). However, it seems there are some out there in the Wasteland who werenāt overly fond of our focus on dance films this year. So, as an attempt to win back our action craving audience, this week we bring you none other than the maximalist action film from acclaimed(?) filmmaker McG: Charlieās Angels. Itās got guns, explosions, and more early 2000ās bullet-time ripoffs than you can shake a butt at!
Iām your host, Dave, and joining me on this mission are fellow cinephiles and my own Angels, Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and Nick āImmortan Hoofā.
Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that distills every trope and gimmick from the year 2000 into one insane 95 minute runtime; we wonder if Cameron Diaz was stricken with the Jokerās laughing gas during filming, as she canāt seem to stop herself from grinning like a maniac during every scene; and finally, Ryan attempts to answer the question that has plagued mankind since the late 90s: who or what is a McG?

Thatāll do it for now, Angels. Iāll leave you all to shake your butt in your room alone for the benefit of absolutely no one but a horny teenage audience (see film above for reference). -
All rise! The Court of Horny Affairs is now in session. The Honorable Judge Janna presiding. The defendant, one David Snider, has been accused of excessive horniness while discussing the film Flashdance on the podcast known as āApocalypse Videoā. The defendant has been made aware of his rights and will face Flashdance-style water dropping if found guilty.
The prosecutors in this case are Kara and Jackie and have informed the court that they have more than enough evidence to send Dave away to Horny Jail for a very long time.
The defendant has been sworn in. Let the trial beginā¦
Pieces of evidence in this taped court session include Boner-Goggles, and how they can obscure oneās perspective on an otherwise terrible film; the character of Nick is shown to be a creepy stalker and has no business dating his employees; and finally, Mawby's Bar, as depicted in the film Flashdance, should by all accounts not exist, as itās divey interior and skeezy clientele would have no interest in the performance art-style dance numbers taking place on stage.
