"Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man face you, he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy." This week it's The Karate Kid Part II. Does the sequel uphold the honor and tradition of the original, or does it crumble like a block of karate-chopped ice? Why was honking someone's nose never a finishing move in Mortal Kombat?

We shift from our sci-fi month of April to May Madness as we move from the sleepy town of Hadley's Hope on LV-426 to Hickory, Indiana.

For the other it's an outsider who's come to coach the basketball team. Confused? Don't know what the heck a Hoosier is? Listen and learn...

Episode #66: "Damage control is easy. Reading Klingon... that's hard."

We ask the probing questions about Star Trek IV and have a whale of a time doing it! Is this the best Star Trek movie ever? Did the timeline skew off into an alternate 2286? Boldly go with us as we Voyage Home.

Episode #65: Knowhutimean?

It's he who had an eye and yet couldn't see. It's he who served bouillabaisse when he was a she. It's all of your favorite Jim Varney characters — including Ernest — in their first full-length movie: Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam (1986). John flies solo this time as he tries to make sense of a kids' movie that's not quite a kids' movie and revisits some of the characters we loved from Jim Varney in the 80s. 

Episode #64: Penny for Your Thoughts?

The marines have no qualms about killing Martians... and we have no qualms about discussing them!

Aliens, teachers eating frogs, Martian death rays... this movie has it all! Everything is fine now. Everything is fine...

Episode #63: No Disassemble!

Hey, laser lips! Your mother wants you to listen to our episode on Short Circuit, the classic 1986 Pinnochio/Robocop mashup starring Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy. Then if you want some more A.I. fun, go watch the other movies we compare it to (Chappie and Ex Machina), because they're both great movies that explore the idea of consciousness and artificial intelligence.
