Genreless

Chris and Eddy talk about what's consistently ranked as the worst James Bond movie, and attempt to see the charm in it. And end up disagreeing about how good it might be?! Check out the sci-fi wackiness of MOONRAKER. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

Eddy and Chris jump ahead 14 years to land in the middle of the Roger Moore era of James Bond, with decidedly mixed results. It's THE SPY WHO LOVED ME! Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

Did you wonder why there was a sudden X-Men Speechless run? It's because it too THREE TRIES to record this episode about one of the most iconic (in more than one way) of the Bond films: GOLDFINGER. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

This week, Chris is in London, so he and Eddy met at a pub and recorded a podcast while in the same room. They talk about... well, a lot of things, really. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

We wrap up the first half of our season covering Blade Runner and friends with the most Blade-Runner-iest show so far (which is weird considering it's for a different Philip K. Dick story), TOTAL RECALL 2070. Then we give up on that and just do an overall wrap-up. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

Eddy and Chris watch 1999's BEASTMASTER, which is absolutely a show that existed. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

Eddy and Chris tackle what is probably the total nadir of the Sherlock Holmes run, when Harmony Gold and Silvio Berlusconi decided to make a Sherlock Holmes TV series. It's Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady.

A very sleepy Chris and a less sleepy Eddy are back talking about Sherlock Holmes, and the absolute best Holmes actor of all time: Jeremy Brett. Prepare for a long one, as they both really love this show! HEADS UP: Eddy says the next episode will cover "Sherlock Holmes and the Incident in Victoria Falls." That's wrong. It's the other set of movies with Christopher Lee as Holmes: "Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady." Don't worry -- all four movies are equally forgettable.

This is part two of the epic discussion between Eddy, Chris, and special guest Matthew Dawkins about a bad show with a lot of heart, Mortal Kombat Conquest.

Eddy and Chris take a break from Sherlock Holmes to do some kung-fu fighting with Matthew Dawkins as they cover the seminal masterpiece (citation needed) that is Mortal Kombat Conquest.

Chris and Eddy talk about the weirdly fallow period of the 1970s, and the turn towards a darker near deconstruction of Sherlock Holmes in Murder By Decree.

This week, Chris and Eddy watch the little-remembered Ronald Howard show from the 1950s, and find it surprisingly watchable, even if in some places it's aged very badly.
