60.5 - Sailor Moon R by VIZ (Steven)
January 25, 2017 11:00 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBNo, you're podcast feed isn't on the fritz, this actually is a revisit of a movie we already reviewed, back in Episode 42.5! And which member of FUAR would be dastardly enough to return to a franchise? Why the same man who picked from the Terminator universe 3 times, Steven Zurita! Viz Media's had the English dubbing rights to Sailor Moon for a few years now, redubbing the show in a more faithful Japanese translation than the original run in the 90s, and they just redubbed the same movie we ...
60 - High Plains Drifter (Michael)
November 10, 2015 16:01 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MBThat's what the movie's called, I swear! We're not trying to be offensive. Either way, this is a controversial way to go out. And the movie we're reviewing has a fair bit of controversy from the get go as well. Yeesh. This week's movie, High Plains Drifter, is a Western starring Clint Eastwood about a stranger wandering into town and taking it over to train the residents of Lago to deal with an approaching gang of bandits. It fails horribly, so we came up with some better ways to train the to...
59 - Casino Royale (Michael)
November 03, 2015 11:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBIt's the origin to the secret agent that's already been around for like 50 years. We watched Daniel Craig's first entry in the Bond series in Casino Royale this week. Sit back and listen to us recount iconic scenes like bantering back and forth with Judi Dench's M, even though he officially first meets her in Goldeneye, which takes place in our past but his future, even though it's the 90s but this is 2006? The timeline of this series confuses me. But nonetheless, we go back to Bond's roots i...
58 - 007 Goldeneye (Steven)
October 27, 2015 11:00 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBKapow! That wasn't a punch, that was the sound of a Walther PPK shooting down your sights. That's right, we're finally diving into a true 90s classic, 007 Goldeneye! We ain't talking about the N64 game, though that's a classic in its own right. We're talking about the film behind the game. Starring Pierce Brosnan and the chick from X Men. You know what, why didn't she use her psychic powers at all this movie? Has she not discovered her mutation yet? This makes no sense. Steven's the one bein...
57 - The Babadook (Michael)
October 20, 2015 11:00 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBWe round out our series of spooky movies this year with Michael's pick, the Babadook. It's a movie so scary that we brought back a third host to share the burden with us, the wordsmith McDoodles! Much like Signs, this movie's got a surface level story about a monster in your closet coming to get you. But what really makes this movie shine is that the monster is a metaphor for something deeper, something we've all struggled with in life. Something that keeps us all up at night. Really, on...
56 - Signs (Steven)
October 13, 2015 11:00 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MBYou know what's scarier than Halloween? M Night Shyamalan's career! While he may be the butt of many a cinematic joke these days, there was once a time when he was an up and coming visionary auteur. Let's travel back to that time, in rural Pennsylvania, where pre-meltdown Mel Gibson tells everyone he's not a father anymore, even to his kids, and aliens are putting signs in his fields. Joaquin Phoenix spends his time swinging baseball bats instead of talking to Scarlett Johansen on his pho...
55 - Pulp Fiction (Michael)
October 06, 2015 17:00 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBThis one's a doozy. After 21 years Steven can FINALLY be taken out from under the rock on Pulp Fiction. This movie's got some of the most quotable lines in history and a serious craving for burgers and milkshakes. Anyone else wanna let me have a bite of their Kahuna burger? No? Ok. Well this movie's got everything. Really, it does, it's almost 3 hours long. But the great thing is it doesn't feel like it. Despite all the dialogue, there's always something interesting happening and it'...
54.5 - Walk Hard (ft. The Gilmore Guys)
September 29, 2015 11:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBWe're taking it back to the classics of Buddy Holly, Elvis, presley, The Beatles, but most importantly, Dewey Cox in Walk hard: The Dewey Cox Story. It's the next logical step for you listeners, even if you don't have a sense of smell! Why does this movie work so well on its own? What's the deal with all this music? Anybody know what Jenna Fischer's up to lately? Well, besides Steven? It's a big ol' TSTV reunion. Or is it? We've all known each other for years, but this might be the first...
54 - Some Like it Hot (Steven)
September 22, 2015 11:00 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MBShave your legs and grab some pantyhose, gentlemen! This week we're reviewing the classic screwball comedy about musicians in drag, 1959's Some Like It Hot! And you don't even need to watch anyone die for this one! This review cuts a little close to home for Michael since he too has spent a 'romantic' time at the very same hotel from this movie and vowed to never speak again...for about 10 seconds. Plus, we can all talk about how Marilyn Monroe's a classic 12 out of 10. Joining us this week ...
53.5 - Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles (ft. Emii)
September 15, 2015 11:00 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBWe couldn't get our fill of martial arts with Kill Bill, so Emii's back with a radical look back on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie! This one's a big deal for Emii, it's the reason she's a martial artist! If you don't believe how big of a Turtle fan she is, she's been in a TMNT shirt EVERY time Steven's seen her. So how does this old movie hold up to the franchise? Where does it lie in the for kids and for adults spectrum? This is one of those franchises everyone's bumped into...
53 - The Fly (Michael)
September 08, 2015 11:00 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBNow that Ryan and James are 'back' we've got what must be the most disgusting episode yet with our review of David Cronenber's 1986 classic, The Fly. We're not talking about the movie; the hands down grossest thing in this podcast was that fart Michael let loose towards the end. Seriously, what kind of unearthly creature got stuck in your teleportation pod for you to produce THAT? Besides flatulence, this movie offered a rare shot at watching Jeff Goldblum play the lead character, some delig...
52 - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Steven)
September 03, 2015 00:46 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBIn the future, a hostile AI developed by Michael Ornelas sends a machine back in time to stop Steven from bringing ANOTHER Terminator pick to the table. Unfortunately Steven destroyed it. And Michael's future son was killed in the crossfire. With that out of the way, there's nothing stopping Steven from FINALLY bringing the prophecized Terminator television show to the FUAR crew. Will Michael get so frustrated that he creates a hostile AI, trapping us in a causality time loop like the fabled ...
51 - Braveheart (James)
August 25, 2015 23:02 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MBThe gang's all here once again, this time to review the 1995, Academy Award-winning classic Braveheart! Sure, it may have won Best Picture, Director, and Cinematography, but now, 20 years later, the film is finally put to the real test. Will the FUAR crew liberate the podcast from their evil English imperialist oppressors, or will the review take away their very freedom? [email protected] @FuaRockPodcast youtube.com/hyperdrivepics
50 - The Jerk (Ryan)*
August 18, 2015 23:25 - 55 minutes - 51.8 MBThe FUAR crew celebrates the big 5-oh this week - by making absolutely no mention of it! What gets mentioned plenty is the 1979 classic Steve Martin comedy, The Jerk! Among the aspects mentioned are the enduring, one-upsmanship style of comedy, the film's place as a coming of age tale, and, in this week's Challenge, stealing toys from sick children! [email protected] @FuaRockPodcast youtube.com/hyperdrivepics *The title of this episode is not calling Ryan a jerk.
49 - They Live (Michael)
August 11, 2015 23:56 - 53 minutes - 49.6 MBThey don't eat. They don't sleep. They just...live...wait, wrong movie. We sleep, they live! That's the one! The FUAR crew does their best not to sleep through the steadily beating soundtrack of Carpenter's 1988 conspiracy thriller. After a rousing discussion, the guys get to come up with brand new conspiracies of their own, and you won't believe what the aliens are doing to our condoms! [email protected] Hyperdrive Pictures @FuaRockPodcast
48.5 - Kill Bill vol.2 (ft. Emii)
August 05, 2015 00:44 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBThe lovely and talented Emily Rose Morrison a.k.a. Emii slums it with the FUAR slobs, bringing with her the acclaimed Tarantino (redundant) film, Kill Bill vol.2. The skilled martial artist regards it as one of her favorites of all time - or wait, was that the first one? She also brings along a challenge which threatens her very life, as there is a very real risk of the FUAR crew talking her to death.

48- Kung Pow (Steven)
July 29, 2015 05:24 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBA long time ago a good friend of mine told me there will be a Chosen Podcast. It will be significant. And it shall bear the mark of infinite wisdom-what in god's name is that thing? Oh, it's just Michael. Revel in the martial arts mastery as we dissect Steve Oedekerk's one of a kind passion project and oddly influential cult film Kung Pow (2002). Does this kind of humor hold up? Why is there a cow that knows Kung Fu? Was whining the signal? Sit back, relax, and play this podcast like a drum....
47 - Warrior (Ryan)
July 23, 2015 02:20 - 48 minutes - 45.3 MBThe beads of sweat pour to the ground, the muscles pull and tear with the strain of the fighter's exertions, the bones creak and threaten to break as pressure is applied, pressure like none they have felt before - "Michael! Please stop practicing your wrestling moves on us! We have a podcast to record!" "Oh, right. My bad, guys." [email protected] @FuaRockPodcast youtube.com/hyperdrivepics
46 - Enter the Dragon (James)
July 14, 2015 22:39 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBThe crew get in touch with their inner dragons this week on FUAR, in a continuation of the epic Martial Arts Cycle. This Bruce Lee classic has some of the best kicking (along with average punching, according to Steven) around, but will that be enough to satisfy the FUAR panel's high standards? Will James' island getaway-themed Challenge prove too much for their weak constitutions? Will the dragons ever actually enter?? Find out this week on From Under a Rock! [email protected] @FuaRockPodca...
45 - Black Dynamite (Michael)
July 08, 2015 02:13 - 56 minutes - 52.2 MB*Cue hi-hat ride and wah-wah guitar* Awwwwlriiight, you jive turkeys ain't never heard a podcast like this one before, in which the Crew reviews the 2009 blaxploitation parody film Black Dynamite. Among the topics discussed are how this movie gets everything wrong in exactly the right way, the quality of Michael Jai White's martial arts abilities, and a series of epiphanies that rock the very fabric of the group's dynamic and unravel a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top. fuarock@gma...
