Have you ever wondered how a beach day filled with Kona Big Wave beer could turn into an unexpected adventure? In today's episode, we recount our trip to Rehob, where we reveled in Kona beer and its quirky merchandise before a minor car accident in our Uber spun the day in a different direction. We candidly share the awkward aftermath with the Uber driver and navigate the insurance process, reflecting on how such incidents can make us rethink our rideshare safety.
Feeling adventurous? We sure did as we tackled the 154th episode of the Red Rum Podcast, diving headfirst into the hilariously campy 2015 film "Llamageddon." Imagine a killer llama on a rampage, complete with red eyes and laser beams! We break down the movie's laughably bad special effects, bizarre character quirks, and scenes so absurd they had us in stitches. From ever-changing shirts to a dramatic llama spaceship showdown, we explore every zany detail that makes this low-budget flick a must-watch for fans of horror comedies.
We cap off our episode with a behind-the-scenes peek at "Llamageddon's" creation, from its tiny budget to the creative use of university resources. The director's choice to use llamas, humorous pseudonyms, and the movie’s quirky online presence add layers to its charm. Plus, we sprinkle in recommendations for more campy gems like "Velocipastor" and "Killer Pinata," making this a treasure trove for anyone with a love for delightfully bad horror films. Join us for a rollercoaster of laughs, absurdity, and a touch of real-life drama!

Remember the last VHS tape you owned? We kick off this episode with a cheerful trip down memory lane, reminiscing about our final VHS treasures before diving into a thrilling film review. We also revisit the eerie world of "Darkness Falls," revealing new depths of Matilda Dixon's tragic backstory through a fascinating comic book tie-in. And for all the special effects aficionados out there, we highlight the magic spun by Stan Winston and experience the nostalgic charm of early 2000s ads.
Ever wondered how a low-budget horror film set in a tiny plane can grip you from takeoff to landing? We share our thoughts on the 2010 Canadian horror flick "Altitude." We break down the film’s unique aviation setting and the dynamic, if somewhat immature, characters. We discuss Jessica Lowndes' performance as Sarah, the questionable competence of her piloting skills, and how the film cleverly utilizes aviation jargon to build tension.
As the airborne thriller unfolds, we dissect the chaos that erupts mid-flight, from mechanical failures to monstrous hallucinations. We debate the group's decisions, especially Cory's risky efforts to unjam the elevator and Sal's shocking betrayal. Despite its low Rotten Tomatoes score, we argue that "Altitude" is a hidden gem worth your time, with its blend of supernatural, horror, and mystery thriller elements. To cap it off, we share some practical air travel advice, emphasizing the importance of experienced pilots, and laugh at the film’s quirky release date inconsistencies. Join us for an episode packed with thrills, chills, and a touch of nostalgia!

Captain and Wilson are back for their new season! To start off, they're testing out using AI to generate the description. What do we think of this generous creation?
Picture this: you're swirling a glass of that one wine you can't pronounce but tastes like a sunny Italian orchard; we've all been there, right? That's where our latest chat takes us, reminiscing about the surprising delights of a mango-infused vino and a quirky orange-kissed Pinot Grigio. We're not just clinking glasses in this episode though; it's a full-bodied blend of personal fruit grudges, snack favorites, and a toast to the start of a new season—a reflection on our journey from fledgling podcast to full-fledged cinephiles.
Once our glasses are set down, the spotlight turns to the silver screen. Shannon Sossamon and Edward Burns headline our film chat, as we bring a magnifying glass to their performances, including the highs, the lows, and the outright confusing. From the predestined fates of characters to the ghostly overtones, we navigate the labyrinth of plot points and tropes with the wit and irreverent humor you've come to expect. The critique doesn't end with the cast, as we also dissect the bewildering turns of a paranormal story that left us scratching our heads and questioning the logic behind the supernatural.
Finally, we address the elephant in the room—or rather, the ghost on the set. We uncover the messy behind-the-scenes drama that can haunt a film like a lingering spirit, including the impact of post-production changes and studio interference. And because we can't resist, we humorously dissect the plot of "One Missed Call," poking fun at the characters' hilariously poor decision-making. So, grab your popcorn—or your wineglass—and join us for a session of laughter, critiques, and everything in between.
