“More often than not, I’m fighting for my life!” - Eric, on his recurring nightmares On this week’s episode, our Halloween Spooktacular kicks off and, in the spirit of this year’s FOUR-OR MOVIE theme, we’re chatting about Renny Harlin’s English language debut, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master! How great is this Freddy-assisting dog that pees fire? Did we really need to start the movie with a Bible quote, when a scroll about the lore of the Dream Master would’ve been much more helpful? How cool is the big Freddy soul escape sequence at the end? And should Joey’s parents have bought him that water bed? PLUS: Did Wishbone the Literature Dog flirt with human women on that show? A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master stars Robert Englund, Lisa Wilcox, Tuesday Knight, Brooke Theiss, Toy Newkirk, Andras Jones, Danny Hassel, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, and Jake as Jason the Dog; directed by Renny Harlin.

“You don’t know why anyone is on this boat!” - Steve, on the bad script On this week’s show, the guys welcome back their good bud, and official WHM Disaster Movie Expert™️, Justin J. Case to chat about the grimmer-than-average disaster flick, Poseidon! How brutal are all these kills? Is there any other movie that’s this aggressively 2006? Couldn’t they have tried to make any of these characters three-dimensional? And credit where credit’s due, the sequence of the boat tipping over is exquisite! PLUS: Turns out installing elevators in Mortal Kombat’s Outworld is pretty involved! Poseidon stars Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell, Jacinda Barrett, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum, Mía Maestro, Mike Vogel, Kevin Dillon, Freddy Rodríguez, Jimmy Bennett, Andre Brauer, and Fergie as Gloria; directed by Wolfgang Peterson.

“I’m scanning pornography into the computer to make a lady!” - Eric as George W. Bush On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the 1985 John Hughes-directed, sci-fi sex comedy, Weird Science! How strange is it that back in the day, these creep-tacular incels were just considered harmless, lovable nerds? Why would they cut out all the solid Bride of Frankenstein conversation from the theatrical cut? Has there been a better titular song in cinema? Is this weird science, or weird computer magic? How cool is all the reversed footage at the end? And are those grandparents dead or what? PLUS: Christopher Nolan - huge Weird Science fan? Weird Science stars Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Suzanne Snyder, Judie Aronson, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Rusler, Vernon Wells, Britt Leach, Michael Berryman, and the late, great Bill Paxton as Chet; directed by John Hughes.
