Much like 2000's TITANIC: THE LEGEND GOES ON, we're back with a different length podcast that we're not sure does anything to clarify our discussion.

Podcast! Right ahead! Man the life boats as the class plumbs the depths of animation with TITANIC: THE LEGEND GOES ON. Will these podcasters choose to go down with the ship? It’s sink or swim as we delve into our first animated film. But *not* the first animated retelling of the Titanic with talking animals, if you can believe it. Editor of MERRY LITTLE BATMAN Andy Young joins us for a chat that’s Mucho Gusto. Party Time!

Your Video High Videoracles have returned. We stare into the 2024 that sicko cinema predicted and jack into the void. What kind of speculative wasteland simulation from outer space will the future force upon us this year?
The class picks apart four movies - THROUGH THE TIME BARRIER (1960) / A BOY AND HIS DOG (1975) / HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING (1991) / THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR (1999) - and learn what they know about our world. Spoiler: it sucks.

Welcome to HELLGATE (1989)! A place where you can relax and remember the simpler times - doo-wop on the radio, menacing bikers, huge mustaches, the inability to be female and not get objectified in a diner, old-timey attractions that somehow make money...we've got it all! We'd like to thank you for joining us! Another Schlocktober, another head-scratcher. Just the way we like it. Don't forget your pie!

Like a dog with a bone, we're obsessed with BINGO (1991). This shaggy dog story follows a runaway circus dog that travels America in search of a family. Billed as starring a "sort of canine Macaulay Culkin," this dog and pony show comes straight from the Blockbuster shelves of Jamie's memory. But is this another forgotten childhood gem, or are we barking up the wrong tree? Go Packers!

Coming off their discussion of BINGO, the class ponders why Josh and Jamie can't make money off of their dog. Also we're not done talking about Paul W. S. Anderson.

We may not know anything about astrology, but we know what we like. And that's not knowing anything about astrology.

If the title means anything, it's the sheer pace with which new concepts are thrown out in SPLIT SECOND (1992). A thematic chopped salad, this dystopian thriller stars Rutger Hauer as a indeterminably psychic cop on the edge chasing a heart-eating serial killer through the flooded streets of London to avenge the death of the partner he cuckolded before he is driven mad by the heartbeat of the clawed rat-mutant sewer dweller that may be the actual Devil with an interest in astrology and scampish sense of humor. What's that? Blood? Coming out of my nose? Huh.

The class decides to extend their stay in Dinosaur City a little longer and accidentally lightly neg Tiffanie Poston’s career. Would you believe there were Forry jokes we DIDN'T include in the full episode?

Like a flightless pun-slinging pterosaur, ADVENTURES IN DINOSAUR CITY (1991) comes crawling up from way down in our collective memory holes. Maybe we caught it on the Disney Channel. Maybe it's just another piece of the omnipresent dinosaur media of the 90s. Maybe Forry is just the most Video High friendly character we've watched. But this group of friends who have nothing better to do than dive into a VHS sure did love this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cribbing mess about a group of friends diving into a VHS. At least we'll always have Tar Town.

Can't believe summer's almost over. No more songs around the campfire. No more passed around porno mags. No more encounters with Christ. Soon we'll go back to our boring lives, and drink the Flavor Aid with the rest of the squares. They say that's the real SUMMER CAMP NIGHTMARE (1987) EXTRA CREDIT episode, ya know?

In the name of the glorious revolution, do not wake us from this SUMMER CAMP NIGHTMARE (1987). This not-so-campy, surprisingly affective anti-authoritarian allegory Lord of the Flies in the face of its summer camp slasher packaging. Chuck Connors earns a Video High merit badge for showing up once again, this time as a pious camp director on the wrong side of a horny teenage people's rebellion. And it's the first movie we've done based on a book, so it pretty much counts as reading. Ya'll know us. We're Ed Heinz!

The class had so much fun talking about things that weren't STEEL DAWN that they needed their own episode. Such wide ranging topics as: the false scarcity of the Disney Vault, Lawrence of Arabia puns, and imagining the beauty of Paul W.S. Anderson's Murder on the Orient Express.

It's a mad mad mad max world in the post-apocalyptic western STEEL DAWN (1987). In this dystopian rip-off of the western classic SHANE, a dirty but non-dancing Patrick Swayze saunters out of the wasteland and into the arms of his real life wife, Lisa Niemi. But will a water robber baron, a knife-kneeing assassin, and the cries of a young boy to come back stop our unnamed hero? Not even a little. Now that's what I call wind racing!

Ready Player One? Take off that VR headset cuz EVOLVER (1995) is stepping out of the game and into the living room of one lucky contest winner (Ethan Embry). But this supposedly family-friendly adversary hates to lose and plays for keeps. A state-of-the-art robot voiced by William H. Macy goes on a killing spree in a 90s rental store classic where hi-tech meets low-class. And joining our class is stand up comedian PETER ANGELO (@metalpetecomedy), who's ready to tea-bag this bot. Get good.
Check out Pete and fellow Video High alum Neil Rubenstein's new podcast: Can't Stop, Should Stop!

To celebrate three years of Video High, the class infiltrates the airspace of another jungle shoot-em-up Rambo II ripoff with DELTA FORCE COMMANDO (1987). Brett Baxter Clark packs the guns and the pecs for just the right amount of M60 muscle jiggle, and Fred Williamson backs him up with cool quips and just the right amount of romantic subtext. The plot has something to do with avenging a murdered wife and a stolen nuclear weapon. But that's not important. We just need to know if it's ok to think a reactionary film villainizing a democratic people's revolution is this rad. Happy Commandoversary, class!

Beauty is a real beast in THE REJUVENATOR (1988)! A mad scientist turns an aging b-movie starlet into a b-movie monster. It's like if THE FLY and SUNSET BLVD went into the machine from THE FLY.
Can the killer make-up make up for a lackluster story? Does out of sync audio add to the film experience? Is Jamie the real monster for watching this movie at 1.5x? Lights, camera, serum!

Hold onto your plungers as we warp pipe into SUPER MARIO BROS (1993)! We all know the classic Mario story: alternate dimensions, royal fungus, Dinohattan, yadda yadda yadda. But is this legendary flop a masterpiece or a disaster-piece?
With the help of TV writer and double-named Italian Brooklynite NEIL MCNEIL (@Neil_McNeil), the class tries to convince Josh it's the best thing since sliced pizza. This episode's a spicy meat-uh-ball! 🤌

We need an extra week to get our heads around the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie. But thankfully after our "final thoughts" on DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (2000), we just couldn't shut up. Enjoy a taste of what happens after class, and we'll see you in the Mushroom Kingdom next week.

To celebrate the release of a new D&D movie, we're revisiting the old D&D movie: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS (2000). It takes everything you love about the tabletop roleplaying game and burns it to a crisp. With graphics out of a late 90's screensaver and too many scepters to count, this one is a sight to Beholder. But at least Jeremy Irons is there to chew the scenery. Roll initiative!
