Three Geeky Dads

This week we're continuing our look at the 4th entry in a film franchise that we cleverly call "May The FOURS Be With You"! This week, we're looking at the 4th movie in the wildly popular Paranormal Activity franchise, cleverly titled Paranormal Activity 4! It's' more of the same old found footage "Let's try and catch the demonic entity in our house on video" gimmick that the entire series has been based on this far and, well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
But, what did we all think of it? You'll just have to tune in and find out!

Space is a harsh mistress...cold and unfeeling and will kill if you're not careful. But, what do you do when there's a psychotic entity on board your ship who also wants you dead?
Stanley Kubric's 2001 is still considered a masterpiece of sci-fi cinema yet, it was also criticized for being overly cerebral and slow-paced.
However, this week we look at another sci-fi movie where there is a killer entity hell-bent on taking out the crew of a space ship one by one. This movie is not slow paced, it's not too cerebral but what it has going for it is lots of fun!

Tonight we're looking at the movie that tells the story of a young white kid who can rhyme like no other, a kid just trying to make his way in this cold, unfeeling world, a kid just looking for someone to love him for who he really is and for a chance to prove himself. Is it the movie you're thinking of? Think again!!!

Once upon a time, a movie was released that touched the hearts of many. It was the tale of a lonely being from another world who, when separated from his his own kind, is befriended by a young boy who takes him in, introduces him to his family and ultimately has to protect him from those who wish to harm him all while trying to return him to his own kind!

This week, we're joined by our good friend (and friend of the show) Josh Dahlin who asked us to take a look at these two movies as part of our "VERSUS" series!
Both films were produced from the same studio with a VERY limited budget. The acting is questionable, the special effects are anything but special and the scripts were probably pounded out in one booze-fueled Saturday afternoon. Both films are direct-to-video bargain bin features that, if you're in the mood, are one way to kill a few hours (and brain cells!)
They're cheesy, they're laughable, they put the horrible in horror but, which one comes out on top, Sharkenstein or Sharkula?

In The March Of Madness month continues as, this week, we're taking a looking into the sillier side of insanity as we talk about the 1996 Ben Still directed film, The Cable Guy. Starring Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick, it follows the story of Carrey's titular cable installer as he becomes obsessed with Broderick's character, nearly driving him to the brink of insanity!

This week, we continue to look at movies to drive you mad as our "In The March Of Madness" series continues with Session 9.
This film from 2001 follows the story of a crew of asbestos remediators who agree to clean up an abandoned asylum but discover more than they bargained for.

Army Of Darkness, Medieval Dead, Evil Dead III, whatever you call it, it's still an amazing wrap-up to our Fantasy February series and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy. A mash-up of horror, slap-stick comedy and medieval mayhem, this film finds our hero, Ash William (perfectly played by the incomparable Bruce Campbell) transported to the past (the year 1300 to be exact) where he is determined to be the "chosen one" who can deliver Arthur and his people from an army of Deadites while all he wants is to find his way back home!

In this episode, we're brining you the latest in our Fantasy February series...this week is a special week for, not only are we looking at a classic mythological movie with fantastic stop-motion FX by Ray Harryhausen, we're pitting it agains it's 2010 CGI remake! It's our latest in our VS series as well, as we bring you The Clash of The Clash OF The Titans!!!

Fantasy February begins with the king of the sword and sorcery movies...1982's Conan The Barbarian. This fantasy epic stars Arnold Schwartzenegger in the role he seemed destined to play! After being orphaned by an invading hoard, Conan becomes a slave who, once freed, seeks revenge against James Earl Jones' Thulsa Doom and his snake worshiping cult!

Tito wraps up his month of great movies for us to talk about by picking the 2010 film, UNSTOPPABLE. Expertly directed by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as a veteran and rookie train operators who find themselves the only ones able to stop an unmanned runaway train hauling dangerous chemicals through densely populated western Pennsylvania!

Tito has another good one for us to talk about and this time, it's Strange Days, the 1995 sci-fi action thriller starring Ralph Feins, Angela Bassett and Juliette Lewis. Co-written and produced by, non other than, James Cameron and Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the film is set in the last two days of 1999 and follows the story of Lenny, a black marketeer of recordings that allow a user to experience the recorder's memories and physical sensations as he attempts to uncover the truth behind the murder of a prostitute.
