Okay, I know some of you are thinking: why bother doing a box office poll this week considering the real DEARTH of new and interesting titles being released? To that I say, yeah, you're probably not wrong. But, hey! It's been a minute since we had a box office poll on here, so let's make the best of a shitty situation.
Now, films like The Garfield Movie and Furiosa will still be drawing folks, in fact, some of these new ...

On this month's trip into the Star Trek universe on The Nexus, we're talking about a solid Riker episode of TNG and the PENULTIMATE episode of TOS!
First up, that second-to-last TOS episode is "All Our Yesterdays," which originally aired back on March 14, 1969. This slashed-budget ep features the Core Three heading down to a supposedly "uninhabited" planet and immediately f...

“I think he’s in both Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11!” - Chris, on Heston’s sequel policy
On this week’s episode, we’re going back to, well, Earth, to chat about the fun-as-hell sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes! How silly was it to make James Franciscus look exactly like Charlton Heston, instead of just having him play Taylor? How much of a ...

On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the barely-feature-length sequel, Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties! How in the world did Jon Arbuckle not sense two live animals in his luggage? Is Billy Connolly good in this movie? Shouldn’t it have been against the law to play this much Black Eyed Peas on a film soundtra...

Hey gang, hope you had a totally killer weekend! We're all back safe & sound from last week's super-fun WHM TEXAS TWO-STEP! It was so fantastic seeing everyone at both shows, meeting folks afterward, and spending some time in two amazing cities! We had a blast in both towns and if you came out last week, we hope you had fun too!
Needless to say, we're a bit wiped, so we decided to take it easy on ourselves and put our OSL return on hold until after Mem...

On this edition of our cartoon recap show, we're chatting about the long-forgotten animated adaptation of a beloved live-action property, Return to the Planet of the Apes!
The episode in question, "Flames of Doom," originally aired back on September 6, 1975, and features some of the cheapest, but trippiest animation we've seen in a while! How funny is it every time the script repeats the names, "Bill," "Jeff," and "Judy"? Why couldn't they have gone a differen...

Why couldn’t Jeffrey Combs have played a larger role in this movie? How does Geoffrey Rush look so much like Vincent Price in this and they refused to come out and say it— the guy...

First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the pretty ridiculous episode, "A Presumption of Innocence." First airing back on October 21, 1992, this episode has Dylan celebrating his 18th (is that right?) birthday, Nikki trying to get Brandon to be a human being by learning how to dance, Andrea whining about ...
