Ep 128: The King of Cult / A Tribute To Roger Corman (with Raina Madison)

Our tribute to a true trailblazer in the world of independent film, the late great Roger Corman.

Roger Corman did it all and he did it in spades.

Whether you call him the King of Cult or the Pope of Pop Cinema, it's no exaggeration to say that Corman had an output unmatched by anyone in the industry. And while he is perhaps known as much for his schlock as his amazing Poe Cycle with Vincent Price, one thing is for sure. The man constantly did what he loved, and that was making movies!

For this tribute episode, we set sail with movie aficionado, Raina Madison, and dive right into the man's expansive catalog of films, presenting 12 in all. Seems like a lot, but considering Corman directed 56 films and produced almost 500, that's barely the tip of the iceberg!!

Later on we'll blast on through this week's OCTOPONDER THIS and hear all about Justin Cooper's latest ISSUES!

Ep 127: The Dinosaur Boom of the 80s & 90s

Dinosaurs were always BIG, but for a couple of decades, these monstrous lizards ruled all manner of pop media!

The 1980s and 90s saw the release of an unprecedented number of cartoons, movies, toys and games starring DINOSAURS! And unlike the adventure films of the 60s & 70s these projects took everyone's favorite extinct behemoths out of their hidden savage land environments and made them cool again. Mashing them together with genres like science fiction, post-apocalypse and even sitcoms!

You want dinos that fly spaceships? We got 'em. For this episode, we cover movies and cartoons like The Land Before Time, Denver the Last Dinosaur and Dinosaucers, but also toylines, video games and more!

Ep 124: Saturday Morning Anime Explosion!

For better or worse, we remember various Japanese cartoons that his FOX Kids in the 90s, like Shaman King, F-Zero GP Legends, Monster Rancher and more!

In the 90s was when the anime floodgates opened in America, when programs like FOX KIDS started playing blocks of Japanese cartoons! But did we really need to catch 'em all?

Shows like Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, Monster Rancher and even (the best left forgotten) Fighting Foodons were trying to cash in on the enormous Pokemon craze. But there were others too. A few diamonds in the rough, as it were. And while your individual mileage may vary on this EXPLOSION of like-minded content, we share our thoughts on 6 shows that we remember watching... for better or worse.

And later on, Parasite Steve drops a very anime inspired Retro Nouveau for a game he is currently obsessed with called Unicorn Overlord!
