618: "Dial Up for Murder" | The Net (1995)

A floppy disk, a hacker conspiracy, and a life erased in a keystroke. In The Net, Sandra Bullock is Angela Bennett, a systems analyst whose isolated digital life makes her the perfect target. When she stumbles upon a deeply dangerous government conspiracy, her identity is digitally stolen, replaced by a criminal record, and every piece of her past vanishes. Chased by shadowy figures who control every network, Angela must hack her way back into her own life, where trust is a fatal error and the only safe place is offline.

615: "Dances with Whales" | Waterworld (1995)

Waterworld (1995) — the post-apocalyptic epic where Kevin Costner grows gills, drinks his own pee, and still manages to look vaguely heroic. It’s Mad Max, but wetter, weirder, and somehow more expensive. Jet skis, dirt myths, and a lot of damp denim — welcome to the future, hope you brought floaties.

613: "A Well-Conceived Plan” | Species (1995)

Species (1995) — Sexy, slimy, and scientifically suspect, Species crashes onto the screen with H.R. Giger creature designs, government scientists in panic mode, and a half-alien femme fatale on the loose. We’re diving into the film’s weird mix of horror, sci-fi, and skinemax energy — breaking down its bonkers plot, surprising cast, and whether it’s smarter (or dumber) than it thinks. Is it B-movie brilliance or just hot nonsense with tentacles? Let’s find out.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) — Mel Brooks sinks his teeth into gothic comedy with Leslie Nielsen as the most bumbling Count ever to grace the silver screen. We’re breaking down the slapstick, the satire, and the surprisingly gorgeous production design in this often-overlooked spoof. From rubber bats to ballroom bites, we ask the ultimate question: does Brooks’ final parody still have life after dark?

611: "Would you follow Macaulay Culkin up a flight of stairs?" | Jacob's Ladder (1990)

For our tenth anniversary rewatch, we descend once again into the haunting nightmare of Jacob’s Ladder (1990). Joined by Patreon Co-Executive Producer and horror aficionado Rob Perry, we revisit Adrian Lyne’s psychological thriller to unpack its twisting layers of grief, trauma, and reality-bending terror. From Vietnam to New York and beyond, we explore how the film mixes horror with heartbreak — and why it still hits just as hard, decades later.

610: "Schindler's Lips" | The Addiction (1995)

In this episode, we sink our teeth into The Addiction (1995), Abel Ferrara’s moody, black-and-white vampire film that’s as much about Sartre and sin as it is about blood. We unpack the heavy philosophy behind the movie’s take on evil, addiction, and moral decay — and ask whether vampirism is just a metaphor for being human. Along the way, we wrestle with Nazi imagery, existential dread, and whether philosophy helps or just makes everything way more confusing.

609: "I already had Italian" | Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)

Sink your teeth into this one—we’re diving fang-first into Vampire in Brooklyn! Eddie Murphy brings the bite and the sass as a smooth-talking bloodsucker looking for love (and maybe a little chaos) in the Big Apple. It’s part horror, part comedy, and all Eddie. So grab some garlic (or don’t, if you’re trying to impress him)—this episode is gonna be a bloody good time.
