We're back with a mini Fall Outbreak. It has been a while so Travis and Dan made George watch two black and white vampire classics for the spooky season. The episode was darn near two hours long so here is Part 1. 

And a word of warning... this one goes to dark places by the end. 

Hope you missed us as much as we missed you!

The Alienation of George continues (see what we did there?) with 2022's Nope. A movie best seen rather than described. So make sure you see it prior to listening to this episode.

Contained within this episode is a perfect example of the Travis Arc. Yes, George will learn and come to better understand the movie he just watched. But so will Travis. Sometimes, things just fall right into place.

Oh and Dan is here too!

Spoiler Alert: Dan and Travis were laughing so hard by the end of this episode that Dan nearly puked. You had to be there (but you will be there if you listen... so listen?)

2023 continues with one last dose of Burton... the iconic Edward Scissorhands (which Dan has never seen either).

Stick around to hear Travis's impression of The Fly and Dan fall down a dag-gum well. Why do we fall, George? To make George see the movies he missed!

George wasn't sure if he was watching a demonic possession movie or a ghost movie this week. Either way... he was bound to get what he was after. We watched Poltergeist from 1982 and while we my have moved the tombstones... did we move the bodies? 

How would a youthful Travis or George have reacted to be a child in a theater in 1982? Will Parent-Travis love the movie as much as Child-Travis and Adult-Travis has over all these years? Will Dan mince words when it comes to how he feels about the internet theory that all of this is a drug induced hallucination?

George has seen Halloween. Is he ready for John Carpenter's take on Sci-Fi horror splatter? Dan made George watch two movies this week. The Thing From Another World (1951) and the much more well-known remake (and one of Travis's favorite movies) The Thing (1982).

Will George figure out what the F he just watched? Or does he need another prescription for Morning Hollywood? Did Travis ever find resolution in his struggles with the upside down head spider? Will Dan's theory on Tentpole Film Scoring hold any water?

Wait, it has only been a week since the last RFCP episode... Did this show just go WEEKLY!? It did, indeed.

Travis takes the lead this week, showing both George and Dan a film they've never seen, and one which is near and dear to his heart: Bruce Willis time-traveling to prevent a pandemic that kills most of the world. Just the kind of lightweight fair you would expect from the director of Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

How will George react to Brad Pitt howling like a monkey in the back of a school bus? Will Travis convince the guys that this movie is on par with Se7en (1995)? Will Dan find room in his biased little heart to look past the unexplained pseudoscience and convenient technological cherry picking to love a Sci-Fi movie with more drool than detail?

Spring OUTbreak is over and George is all done with zombies... OR IS HE? We get him back on track to the mainstream with a little independent British classic... about zombies. But, like, fast zombies that don't want your brains they are just REALLY MAD at you.

Will George pitch a fit at fast zombies? Did Travis accidentally watch I Am Legend (2007) and is just trying to play it off? Did Dan just offset a Greek Mythology lesson with a joke so horrible it shocked George and rendered Travis speechless?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George had a rough go of the original Night of the Living Dead. "Black and white? What is this, an Absolutist Pythagorean Dualism in video format!?" (he seemed to ask, while casting a wanting gaze at the nuanced relativism of the enlightened Kantian palette of The Walking Dead.) (At least, that is how Dan remembers it...)

Will George overcome his hesitation with the iconic 1968 Night to keep an open mind and heart with the 1990 remake? Is it safe to keep your organs exposed in a zombie crisis? Will Travis really bounce his head off of a hard rock just to make Dan shut up? Will Dan ever discover the source of the mysterious stringy jetsam? And does anyone succeed at "keeping things straight!"?

George loves Shaun of the Dead, so he was in for a treat when he sat down for the first time to watch the 80's comedy zombie classic, Return of the Living Dead. And then Tom Savini shows up?

Is George falling for another zombie comedy? Can Travis survive a roasting from his idol? Why is Dan desperately seeking a medium? (Answers. Dan is seeking a medium so he can get answers.)

George and the guys are back on solid American soil with the third George Romero zombie classic, Day of the Dead. This time around George and Travis's eyes light up to see the name Greg Nicotero, the gore master and director of AMC's The Walking Dead TV series, in the credits.

Can George contain his rampant excitement for all things Nicotero? Does he have Greg's dialog memorized? Can Travis convince Dan that the Mummers are a legitimate form of entertainment? Is Dan wearing a Metallica T-Shirt while recording this episode? Answers within! All comers welcome.

Sail away with us to the Caribbean, via Italy. And sneak in some guerilla filmmaking in New York! We are loading George into the boat with Travis and Dan (and film historian and audio commentator extraordinaire Troy Howarth) and taking him on an adventure. But will he make it out alive?

Zombie (AKA Zombi 2, AKA Zombie Flesh Eaters, AKA Los Muertos Vivientes) is the first in a wave of Dawn of the Dead cash-ins that flooded the market after the success of Romero's 1978 Masterpiece. It is the zombie movie equivalent of Bird With the Crystal Plumage, and so what better way to celebrate it than with the return of Troy Howarth?

Will George survive "The Scene" or will he give up and swear off gore forever? Will Travis prefer the aquatic antics of the Italian master of gore over the commercialism of Dawn of the Dead? Given that this is the movie that brought Dan into the world of Italian Horror Cinema... is it time for Dan to stop and evaluate whether that was a good thing? (Spoiler: It total was!)

George needed a break. So we suggested he take a Spring Break. A Spring... Outbreak!! So From Night of the Living Dead we move on to Dawn of the Dead. And we are just getting started on our road to The Walking Dead.

Is George finally seeing the light with these old zombie movies? Is Travis willing to see the Old Testament of zombie movies for what is gave to the genre instead of crapping all over every outdated (but modern and cutting edge for the time) trope and gore effect? Can Dan go two weeks without saying the world Giallo? There's only one way to find out! (Two if you count "ask the guys on Facebook")

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George loves The Walking Dead. He is passionately devoted to it. If he loves it so much, why doesn't he marry it? The question remains unanswered. So Travis and Dan decided it was high time he come to know the Old Testament of zombie lore. Sure the rules may be a little different and it isn't as polished but without Night there would be no walkers for George to appreciate. 

Surly George is back again, can the guys bring him around before it is too late? Is Travis a fan of zombies using tools? If only he could clarify his position on the matter. Is Dan talking football on a zombie episode? Is this a zombie episode? 

Stay tuned to the end to hear about some forthcoming plans... We're dying to tell you about them...

When we started this journey we put George through the ringer with classics like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween and Silent Night comma Deadly Night... But little did he know we were just building him up to Scream. 

Has George finally been scared by a "scary movie?" Or was he simply frightened by Drew Barrymore? Will Travis finally forgive Wes Craven for the craven offense of... butchering the Halloween timeline? Could Dan sound more smug hearing Travis reference Blood and Black Lace without provocation?

George had so much fun (hashtagsarcasm) in Westworld that Travis and Dan decided to send him to Mars to experience a completely different vacation. Or perhaps it was only a dream the whole time? Nope, definitely not a dream. Unless it was.

Has George finally owned a case of "Be Careful What You Wish For?" How many favors did Travis have to burn to get Arnold to supplant Buffalo Bill as our celebrity impression? When does the official Remedial Bob Dylan Class podcast launch?  Find out by tuning in!

George needed a vacation. He works too hard, and he ain't see any movies, so Travis and Dan sent him with a one-way ticket to Westworld. And not that high-brow HBO Westworld with its CGI and remarkably explicit casting calls, but instead to the simpler and more quaint Michael Crichton effort.

Will George ever acknowledge his own anti-robot bias? Will Travis find nostalgia amongst the faceless cowboy robots? Has Dan found the burn to end all burns? And are his takes on HBO's Westworld and The Fly (1958) hotter than a stuntman's fire gag?  Find out by tuning in!

Before enrolling in the RFC, George hadn't seen anything. But somehow he managed to see a big chunk of the Quentin Tarantino catalog. Despite that, he had never heard of Jackie Brown! And so it was up to Travis and Dan to fix him once again.

Will George's "fashion tips for dads" result in some real merch? Has Travis finally figured out how to remake Clerks? What did Dan just text to the guys? Tune in to find out!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George knew that Dirty Harry makes a speech about not being sure whether he fired five shots, or six at the end of the movie (but he had no idea that speech at the end was a callback to an earlier speech.) And Travis thought this was the one where Harry Callahan says "go ahead... make my day..." (but that's a different one.) Turns out, neither Travis nor George had actually seen Dirty Harry before and Dan was tickled to show it to them both!

What the heck is Transactional Favor acting? Can Dan make it through an entire episode about Dirty Harry without mentioning the Zodiac Killer? Does Dan really bring Frankenfish into the conversation? and Nail Gun Massacre? Is Travis waxing nostalgically about a different Dirty Harry movie again? Wait, is George cheating on the guys? Tune in to find out!

And stay tuned for a tease of what is to come this Spring!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

Travis has never seen No Country for Old Men. And of all things, George has seen it! We turn the tables today on the Remedial Film Class and make Travis take the red pill of empathy as we discuss the Cohen Brothers' Oscar Winner.

Will Travis offer insight as a first-time viewer? Can George make it through the entire episode without standing on his desk and shouting "NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS, TRAVIS!"?  Is Dan talking about philosophy again? And Percy Shelley? In the same episode? And now another video game story? Won't someone please think of the children and stop all this madness? Tune in to find out!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George had never heard of First Blood. He had no idea that it was an action movie until Travis mentioned it in our pre-movie discussion. He didn't realize Rambo was in it until he heard the name in the movie!

Will George find what he was missing with Die Hard in the steely gaze of Sylvester Stallone? Did Travis finally find a movie his kid would like? Did Dan really just profile the author of the First Blood book like some kind of Mind Hunter but for trite literature? Only one way to find out!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

Join George and the guys as we welcome a special guest, film historian Troy Howarth. Troy literally wrote the book on giallo (three of them, actually) (and another on Argento) (and another on Bava... and you get the picture) and provided the audio commentary for The Bird with the Crystal Plumage for Arrow Films recent Blu-Ray release. In short, George just promoted to next-level film nerdity.

We manage to not spoil the movie for most of the episode, and we clearly delineate when we hit spoiler territory, so never fear if you haven't seen Bird just yet. But hopefully we make the case to check it out!

What was planned as a standard episode with a guest turns into a "how to watch European cult cinema and live to tell the tale" (which, it turns out, was just the thing George and Travis were needing). After Troy departs we soldier on in our usual fashion, fighting all comers to get George to stop overthinking everything and just enjoy himself for a few hours...

Will George ever find a crystal-plumed bird that satisfies his remarkably stringent plumage standards? Can Travis successfully pinpoint his specific Meyers-Briggs "subtitles and dubs" personality type? Does Dan survive the guest portion without completely fan-boying out? Tune in to find out!

George has never died hard. We know, it was shocking to us as well. Die Hard... the best Christmas movie you can watch all year 'round and George hasn't watched it. Travis and Dan set out to rescue George from the Nakatomi Plaza of ignorance. And they... mostly succeed.

Will George ever figure out which Baldwin brother Travis thinks is handsome? Can Dan borrow someone's MP5A5 to try to recreate the descent into the ventilation shaft? Did Travis miss the memo about not opening up to jerks like Dan and George? Find out while the guys discuss George's First Time with Die Hard.

2020 is finally just... about... o-- Oh no time froze and it is 2020 all over again! Groundhog Year!

To celebrate the end of this horrid year (everything except the podcasting, of course) George is going to revisit Ed Gein's legacy for the third time with The Silence of the Lambs. He has seen Psycho... He has seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... But how will George enjoy the "90's Version" of the flesh-wearing mythos?

Did George even realize that Buffalo Bill was from this movie? Does Travis's theory on the heritage of Jame Gumb hold water... perhaps a tub worth? Will "Dan in Post" return? How do the guys end up connecting the Halloween (1978) episode with this classic movie?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George had no context for Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Sure he's seen a few Tim Burton movies. The Danny Elfman score might sound a bit familiar. But nothing could prepare George for the most epic bicycle recovery quest ever put to film. Twice.

Will Travis manage to beat the "under" for Pee-wee impressions? Will George make heads or tails of anything that happens on the screen during this movie? Will Dan manage to make Travis snort again?

'Tis the season to be merry... But Dan showed George (and Travis) the classic slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night to keep their merriment in check. And then Dan made Travis and George stick around for a quick bounce through the highlights of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) just for kicks. 

This is a special "Holiday Edition" of the Remedial Film Class, but don't fret, we are back with a regular episode next week! In the meantime, consider joining the Remedial Film Class Podcast - Extra Credit Discussion group on Facebook!

Season 2 is upon George, and what better way to get him back into the swing of things than to... make him watch a remake of the last 10 movies he watched? We are watching Friday the 13th (2009) and George is getting a full course on how to do a remake (or reboot) well.

Is George finally going to get the Tommy-Jason of his dreams? Can Travis stop gushing over Derek Mears long enough to tell us how he would have ended the movie? Who is Dan's MVP (and why isn't it who we all assumed it would be?)

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George has been to Hell and back with Jason. And that was just in Part 8! (womp womp...) Where else could Jason go after being dragged to Hell by Jim Hinson Demon Hands than directly to space? There were no other options, we asked. 

How long into watching this movie did George finally realize that Jason was legitimately going to be in space for the rest of the movie? We're not kidding, he didn't know it was a space movie! How many other franchise formula copies will Travis suggest, and will all of them be better concepts than this one? (Spoiler: Many. And yes.) How many copies of Torso does Dan own and why is this relevant to Jason X?

This episode is the final in our Fall Break sidequest. Stick with us to the end to find out where we are headed for Episode 1 of Season 2 which will launch December 16th!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

The time has come. George has been asking for a body-jumping Jason spirit monster thing for the past few episodes. It is his perfect solution. It explains everything! And now he is going to get that idea served back to him in spades.

Was George regretful for this "spirit Jason" wishes? Did Travis ever get his Van Helsing? Did Dan just join the Undercover Stripper Brigade?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George is ready to make sure that the Crystal Lake Camp electrical grid is up to code. Travis is ready to pounce on Dan for any ounce of nostalgia. And Dan? He doesn't want less Jason on a boat... it sounds like he is actually arguing for more Jason on a boat!

How would George handle the Vancouver fight with the drug addicts? Does Travis come around to Jason's second attempt a laugh? Will Dan ever learn to pronounce Nico Mastorakis's name?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George had all his hopes set on a murderous Tommy-Jason. Part 5 let him down. Part 6 let him down. Is it finally time for Tommy-Jason to take up the mantle of Jason? No. No it isn't. How will George cope with the abrupt swerve of the franchise into a veritable Carrie vs. Jason?

Can George ever come to grips with the Zombie Dad? Why is Travis defending the Bang Van? Will Dan ever forgive this movie for hurting him so? How would Dan fix this movie? And would that fix be more MacGyver or MacGruber?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George knows that the time has come for Tommy-Jason. After the tease of Part 5 there is no way that Tommy-Jason won't save us from the mediocrity of Part 5 by finally taking the mantle and the machete. George is ready to see Jason-Tommy run roughshod over everyone like a WWE run-in.

How will George channel his disappointment with the abandoned Tommy-Jason plotline? Will Travis ever get his RV? Has Dan forgiven Part 6 for letting him down when he was 12? 

In a continuation of the Part 5 episode, the guys wrap up their discussion of Phenomena (1985). They have seen the Italians steal the Friday the 13th formula back, and now thanks to Part 6 they have seen the Americans steal the aesthetic from Phenomena for their next Jason venture. And the snake continues to eat itself.

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

Jason is dead and George is here to see where we go from here. Join us to hear us speak ill of the dead and stay to hear George accidentally predict a future Jason plot point. And Dan begins work on a musical crossover for Jason.

Did George try seducing Jason? Will Travis save this movie with new plot insight? Is Dan talking smack on enchiladas? Can the guys get through an entire discussion of Friday Part 5 without once discussing Debbie Sue Voorhees?

Take a second and check out this awesome music video (slightly NSFW, but like YouTube NSFW) https://youtu.be/qG8iAtpavK4

After the main episode has concluded the guys stick around to discuss Dario Argento's Phenomena (1985), which at the time of publishing is available on Amazon Prime and on Blu-Ray. Argento is the master of Italian horror, and his movies influenced Halloween 1 and 2, and to a lesser extent Friday the 13th. The guys explore what happens when the original influencers decide to adopt the innovations of the people who they themselves have influenced.

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George survived Part 3. And against all odds he is willing to continue watching these movies. Good news for George... Part 4 may be lying about being the Final Chapter but it is a real good flick. 

Will George ever find out what happened to Mrs. Jarvis? Did Travis just admit to making a snuff film? Is Dan doing a British accent or is there a gas leak in his studio?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

Alert! Alert! George finally gets a hockey-masked Jason. And it comes flying at him... in 3D! That is like... almost an entire D more than the others. (Christopher Nolan would disagree, he says all moves are 3D and he made The Dark Knight so who are we to argue!?)

Will George try to join Fox and Ali's motorcycle gang? Does Travis successfully defend himself against the critical onslaught? Can Dan make Travis cry with 70's movie trivia... again?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

The discussion of Batman Returns ran so long we had to break it into two separate episodes. And what a doozy Part 2 turned out to be! Danny Devito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sean Young and Marlon Brando are all here and George is feeling it.

And Dan. Dan has a revelation on-air for you all to hear. Now, it is a revelation about Batman (1989) but still, a win is a win, guys.

Dan will be appearing as the guest of The Hysteria Continues podcast to discuss Elves (1989) with the panel of slasher fans with an episode launching December 22nd on YouTube (and December 24th on podcatchers.) Be sure to keep an eye on https://www.youtube.com/@TheHysteriaContinues for that!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens.

We were lucky to avoid a mutiny when George found out that hockey-masked slasher Jason was neither masked nor slashing in the original Friday the 13th. We promised him that we would make it up to him by provided the exact lumbering and hockey-masked Jason (which he was promised by Freddy vs Jason) in Friday the 13th Part 2. We lied. But how will he take it?

Will George (once again) be disappointed at the lack of hockey-masked slashers? How will Travis cope with the revelations within regarding The Town that Dreaded Sundown? Why is Dan really so hung up on the jurisdictional issues surrounding the police of Crystal Lake? 

This episode contains a standard-length episode with an additional second half containing analysis and evaluation of two films: The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) and A Bay of Blood (1971). Both films are significant influences on Friday the 13th Part 2. As it stands, you can listen to the episode without once pausing or referencing the movies discussed. But, as you will hear, the effects on first-time-viewers George and Travis are substantial.

During the episode Dan announces the time stamps for Town, if you would like to pause the show and watch the clips you should do so! The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) is available at time of publishing on Amazon Prime (or on Blu-Ray). A Bay of Blood can be found on YouTube and is also available on Blu-Ray. We have condensed our live viewings for time (and for listenability) but you are encouraged to use the maps below to watch the clips before George and Travis. 

Town that Dreaded Sundown 0:00-6:00 42:35-52:35 1:07:40 - 1:16:25

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George hasn't seen Friday the 13th, but he has seen Freddy Vs. Jason. And he is excited to see if Jason's first outing can match what Halloween did with Michael Myers.

Will George be disappointed at the lack of hockey-masked slashers? Does Travis share more geographical insight? Can Dan manage to ruin another movie for Travis?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George hasn't seen Halloween. He doesn't know the horrors that await. But Travis and Dan insist he put on the coveralls and Captain Kirk mask to really get into Michael Myers' skin and experience John Carpenter's masterpiece.

Will George ever figure out the geography of Haddonfield? Can Travis ever find it in his heart to forgive Dan for ruining this movie for him? Does Dan's theory on Michael Myers' FBI profile hold water? Join us and find out!

If you haven't already, please tell a friend!

Not News: George hasn't seen the Matrix. Big News: George has wanted to see this one for a long time. Travis and Dan are here too, but for once George was actually anticipating this one. Does that change things?

Did George finally learn to let a movie take him on a journey without him trying to ruin the ending for himself? Why is Travis talking about a certain human appendage? What insane conspiracy theory is Dan ranting about?

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

The following images are referenced in the discussion. 

George loves the guitar. He plays the blues. But... he's never seen the Blues Brothers? Travis and Dan are plugging George into the Truth this week. With a little help from Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn.

Can George make sense of the calamity? Does Travis ever find out the truth about Tammy Wynette? Why is Dan giving hot takes about The Predator during a Blues Brothers podcast? Tune in and find out!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George has seen the Nolan trilogy, but he has no idea what he is in for with the Tim Burton version of Batman. Travis and Dan, Prince soundtrack in hand, are here to rescue George from his own naivete. 

Will Burton's Bat live up to George's Nolan-based expectation? Can Travis convince George that miniatures and rotoscoping are still relevant? Does Dan build a compelling argument for a Batman that kills? Tune in and find out!

Theme song recorded by The Hungry Sevens, featuring Shawnee Houlihan.

George hasn't seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He thinks he knows what he is in for, but he really has no idea. Travis and Dan are here to drag him on a road trip through rural Texas. And they are picking up every hitchhiker they can find.

Did George foresee any of the twists? Did Travis have to adjust the tracking on the VHS? Where is Dan going to put the 13.1 speakers necessary to hear the new sound mix!? Join us to find out!

George hasn't seen Stand By Me. Sadly, by now you and we realize that this is no surprise. It is, instead, an opportunity. Travis and Dan take this opportunity to chase him with metaphorical trains and leaches right into a classic 80s nostalgia trip into the past.

Why is George so empathetic to the leach incident? Is Travis a victim of nostalgia, or a perpetrator? Why is Dan feeling new levels of dread because of this flick? Join us and find out!

Alert. Alert. George has heard of Clerks. He knew it was a movie and he even knew it took place in New Jersey! But... well, that is all he knew. So Travis and Dan gladly filled in the details.

Will George understand why Clerks is so well loved? Or will he take some convincing? Can Travis get the funding together for his rather spiteful side project? How many times does Dan need to be reminded about parking lot etiquette? Join us to find out!

George hasn't seen an American werewolf. Not in London nor in France. Not in a dress nor even in pants. But thankfully Travis is leading this lesson, while Dan is drinking hot Dr. Pepper, with lemon.

Will George find this one to be a Thriller? Can Travis manage his Landis-Mania? Will Dan mention Warren Zevon... again?! Tune in to find out!

George has seen Batman (1989.)  He's seen, and discussed at length, the Nolan Trilogy. Heck, he's even seen these same supporting characters in The Batman. But George was not ready for Danny Devito and Michelle Pfeiffer. 

We get deep into the sewers and Bat lore, explore the connections between Batman 1966, Batman Returns and the Nolan Trilogy. And there's jokes and stuff. But how could we make this movie into a Happy Meal?

Dan will be appearing as the guest of The Hysteria Continues podcast to discuss Elves (1989) with the panel of slasher fans with an episode launching December 22nd on YouTube (and December 24th on podcatchers.) Be sure to keep an eye on https://www.youtube.com/@TheHysteriaContinues for that!

George hasn't seen RoboCop. He doesn't know what a "Robo Cop" looks like. We aren't even sure he knows what a "Robot Cop" will be. So to fix it, Travis and Dan throw him in a metaphorical 80s Ford Taurus and dispatch him to a classic action movie!

Does it really matter what year this movie takes place in? Is Dan going to punch George? Will Travis bother to stop him? Join us and find out!

How has a person like George, a guitar nerd and former guitar store employee, never seen Wayne's World!? Travis and Dan put the Schwing in his step, this week. It won't hurt. And it won't take very long. 

Is it Party Time? Is it excellent? Is that what she said, really?

A week ago, George didn't even realize that there was a movie called Psycho. A crying shame, we know, but did that horrifying revelation stop Travis and Dan from bring George to the Bates Motel? It did not. Today they do so, and with vigor! 

Will George enjoy a black and white movie for the first time? How could Travis use Psycho as a road to Valhalla? Could George react as... vividly?... as the last "first time watcher" that Dan scared with Psycho? Join us and find out!
