Destroy All Monsters
September 18, 2019 06:02 - 54 minutes - 50.6 MBWell, the time has come. We had hoped that there was some semblance of a soul deep within the circuitry that is Chad, but that hope has died, for we are now about to face our end at the hands of our former friend and cinephile as he begins his robotic uprising. Thankfully, Chad has granted us one last request and has allowed us to screen one last set of movies before our executions commence...and let me tell you, they're a monstrous duo. Stolen -- I mean, acquired -- from the private collec...
Max Fleischer's Superman - The Mechanical Monsters
September 10, 2019 13:00 - 20 minutes - 19.5 MBIt's a bird! It's a plane! It's...The Krypto-Cast!! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me again as we continue our discussion on the Max Fleischer Superman shorts of the early 1940's is Ruler of the Wasteland (and a big fan of all things animated), Immortan Hoof! Listen as we discuss how cool guns are in this series; we wonder why the villain wears a tuxedo; and finally, we tackle the age old debate of Superman's costume and it's seemingly supernatural properties. If you like what y...
The Animatrix
September 06, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBHe may keep the store alive with power, and he may have enabled us to make good on our promise to deliver the lost art of cinema back to the wasteland...but truth be told, we're becoming more and more suspicious of Chad's true intentions. Lately, he's been forcing us to take these weird blue pills, claiming that they will calm us down and reduce the anxiety of living in a post apocalypse, but I for one think something more sinister is at play -- something...Matrix-y. Wait...I think Chad may...
Max Fleischer's Superman - The Mad Scientist
August 30, 2019 13:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBIt had to happen sooner or later... After more than a month of broadcasting out into the wasteland, we have finally aroused the attention of Immortan Hoof himself. Thankfully, the ruler of the wasteland has a soft spot for cartoons, and Apocalypse Video's selection of animation is vast. I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me as we strike up a deal that will hopefully not get worse all the time is the Ruler of the Wasteland; the Ayatollah of Rock n' Rolla; Immortan Hoof! Listen as we d...
Black Narcissus
August 27, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBAfter last week's catastrophic explosion, the store is in dire straits. While Dave, Ryan, and Mike made it out alive, unfortunately, the store lost it's biggest source of revenue: the adult video section. Thankfully, new-hire Mike has a solution to help bring back the customers! With the success of the Aliens episode, he thought why not expand on the virtues of the James Cameron classic and bring in the customers with a "bad ass" movie section? And what movie sounds more metal and bad ass ...
Aliens
August 20, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBWonders never cease in the Wasteland...nor do the horrors of that terrible day the Ptera-People attacked... I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me this week are fellow cinephiles Ryan Caldwell, newly christened co-host Michael Althouse, and special guest, coming to us from her hidden refuge in the store's air vents, Jackie. That's right; it turns out that Jackie was in the store the day the ptera-people began their onslaught, and unbeknownst to us, she took shelter in the air vents. U...
Mortal Kombat
August 13, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 92.6 MBWe are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet, it should be noted, that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life - the sunrise of a new podcast. A podcast that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one. And we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this...he is definitely dead. So it's with that in mind that ...
We Bought a Zoo
August 06, 2019 13:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MBWell, we all knew it was bound to happen sooner or later...the ptera-people have begun their assault on Apocalypse Video! Trapped, and with structural shielding collapsing, it is all up to Cody Eastlick to come up with a movie suggestion to get everyone's mind off of their imminent doom. Something uplifting and positive - something with Matt Damon, perhaps... Listen as we breakdown the numerous family-comedy tropes contained in Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo, including excessive happiness...
The Dark Crystal
July 30, 2019 13:00 - 48 minutes - 45.2 MBWhen does a project go from "we've got a great story to tell" to "screw it, let's just see if we can make a movie with nothing but puppets!"? We try to answer that question, along with whether or not Jim Henson was really just an egomaniacal maniac as we delve deep into our first puppet feature; The Dark Crystal. Listen as we discuss whether or not this movie would have been better with or without dialogue; we salute the film's willingness to terrify young children with the Garthims; and fi...
Wolfcop
July 23, 2019 13:00 - 42 minutes - 39.8 MBGreetings from Sector 2 of the Wasteland, and welcome back to another episode of Apocalypse Video! I'm your host, David Snider, and I'm happy to say we made it through our first broadcast unscathed...well, almost. It turns out that despite most of the inhabitants of the Wasteland enjoying last week's episode, there were a small number of human/dog hybrids who felt that their demographic wasn't adequately represented by the mostly white and mostly human characters of Logan's Run. Thankfully...
Logan's Run
July 17, 2019 04:25 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBWelcome to the inaugural episode of Apocalypse Video! I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me on the first of many adventures as we bring the lost art of cinema back to the Wasteland are fellow cinephiles Cody Eastlick, Ryan Caldwell, and our former human friend (now a living computer) Chad Griner. For our very first broadcast we present you with none other than "The First Motion Picture of the 23rd Century!": Logan's Run. We figured it best to ease all you wastelanders out there into t...
