Evil has finally found a home.
The year is 1993. The Friday the 13th series has been dormant for four long years. Paramount is out. New Line Cinema is in. What does this maverick film studio responsible for bringing us the likes of Freddy Krueger have planned for one of the most popular cinema icons of the 1980s?
Well, I’ll tell ya…...demon worms and Hell, babyyyy! Bring on the Fan-Fictioney nonsense!!!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we gulp down some demon worms are fellow cinephiles and hellspawn Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.
Topics of discussion in this episode include more false advertising as to the final-ness of Jason’s demise; we ponder the convoluted details of the sting operation set up by Crystal Lake’s SWAT department; and finally, I guess Jason is into BDSM now…? Sure, why not?

That’ll do it for this obligatory installment of our ongoing Friday the 13th series. Join us next time as we watch from ringside as two horror icons go head to head in the fight of the century with Freddy vs. Jason. Whoever wins…we lose. -
Well, it’s December, and the holidays are officially upon us. Am I excited, you ask? Well…no. To be honest, this time of year always gets me nervous. All the pressure to deliver on a fun holiday themed episode after the combined promotions of Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest and Shocktober?! It’s enough to drive a video store manager/podcast host insane! If only there was a sports film with an inspirational speech that could cure me of these pre-show jitters…
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we form our own bobsled team are fellow cinephiles and disgraced former Olympians Cody and Janna.
Topics of discussion in this episode include a sports movie that has it all, including a highly Disney-fied version of the real story; we wonder if Sanka secretly sabotaged the group’s chances at the Gold; and finally, I notice a startling sound effect make an appearance from a certain Galaxy Far, Far Away…

The Apocalypse Video Bond Cast will return as we go where no Bond has gone before with…Moonraker. -
Theorizing that one could review enough movies to resurrect the art form, video store manager David Snider stepped into the Hilton Star Trek simulator…and vanished.
He awoke to find himself trapped in the past reviewing movies and shows that he'd never seen, and driven by an unknown force to bring Cinema back to the wasteland. His only guide on this journey is Janna, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Dave can see and hear.
And so Dave finds himself leaping from show to show, striving to review what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next review will be for Avatar 3.
I’m your host and leaper, Dave, and joining me on my first Quantum Leap are fellow friends from the future Janna and Mike.
Topics of discussion in this leap include an analysis of that terrible Season 5 remix of the Quantum Leap theme song; we collectively thirst over the sex icon that is Al Calavicci; and finally, we take a brief look at the amazing life of radio sex therapist and trained sniper, Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

And thus concludes our first leap. We’ll return with another adventure just as soon as we can get Chad back online. He’s been so temperamental ever since we installed that Sarcasm upgrade. -
Family is forever.
On tonight’s episode we return to Rob Zombie’s Haddonfield where we get a front row seat inside the mind of Michael Myers; a mind filled with white horses, flashbacks, and more David Lynchian imagery than an episode of Twin Peaks. It’s Halloween II…again.
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to drink the Halloween II kool-aid are fellow cinephiles and Rabbit in Red Lounge regulars, Ryan and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Halloween II is a gorier, yet somehow less disgusting sequel (at least as far as the white trash element is concerned); we breakdown the differences between the Theatrical slash job (no pun intended) and the Unrated Director’s Cut; and finally, Sam Loomis morphs from a man who wanted to protect the world from Evil into an asshole who only cares about the benjamins and how good he looks on TV.

And so concludes our trip into the mad mind of Rob Zombie. The Apocalypse Video Halloween Retrospective will return with an all new reboot as we tackle the final(?) leg of our journey through Haddonfield with David Gordon Green’s Halloween. See you then, kiddies! -
Evil has a Destiny.
If there’s one thing scarier than Michael Myers, it’s the Harvey Weinstein produced era of the Halloween franchise. Strap in for some white trash horror as we travel back to the year 2007 and see what Mr. Rob Zombie has in store for us with his much maligned remake of Halloween.
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we sift through mounds of candy corn to get to some real candy are fellow cinephiles and former Smith’s Grove patients Ryan and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Rob Zombie turns Michael’s origin story into more of a twisted superhero tale; we wonder where Michael Myers is getting all of that protein powder in the sanitarium; and finally, we ask - Is Michael Myers one of only two patients in Smith’s Grove? For real, we see one other patient in the entire movie and she exists simply as rape fodder for a couple of white trash scumbags. I mean, what the hell is with this movie?!?!

The Apocalypse Video Halloween Retrospective will return with an all new Halloween II with…Halloween II (2009). -
On the final episode of the Gothtober Spooktacular, we’re packing up our bags and moving to Santa Carla, murder capital of the world, where we’ll ride dirt bikes, hang off the bottom of bridges, and drink each other’s blood while downing a takeout box of maggots and worms…It’s The Lost Boys.
I’m your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me as we wax our muscles and shine our saxophone's are fellow familiar’s Mike, Cody, and Janna.
On this episode we talk about what it means to be goth in the late 80s with stupid fashion victims like Corey Haim everywhere; we’ll also fall into a thirst trap with that saxophone guy; and finally, Janna and Mike start writing some Lost Boys fan fiction on the spot and make the Michael / David onscreen relationship even sexier.

Anyway, that’s the last episode of the Gothtober Spooktacular. The sun’s coming out and our stupid Mom’s are coming in with milk and cookies to ask how we’re doing or whatever - pffft, freakin’ conformists…We’ll be back next year with more spooky tales for all our fellow goth freaks out there in the wasteland. -
They don’t call it the Curse for nothing.
On tonight’s episode of the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular, we travel to the Great White North, all the way to Bailey Downs, where two goth sisters have to contend with periods, horny bleacher boys, stupid cheerleader girls…and lycanthropy – it’s Ginger Snaps!
I’m your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me as we pose for some death pics are fellow posers and werewolves, Kara and Andrew.
Stuff we talk about on this episode include how Ginger Snaps should totally be shown as a gnarly form of sex-ed in public schools; we talk about the mom and her weird ass Period Cake; and finally, we totally call it early and declare Ginger Snaps as the gothiest goth film of Gothtober.

Believe in angels.
The Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular continues as we trade the powers of Manon for the gun toting, face paint wearing badassdom of The Crow.
I’m your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me are my fellow Devil’s Night partygoers Mike, Nick “Immortan Hoof”, and special guests: Madolyn and Cody.
On this episode we talk The Crow, which is basically like…the Goth Starter Kit; we’ll also get out-gothed when Madolyn says she totally digs on Tin Tin’s serial killer vibes; and finally, we have to bow in respect to freakin’ style icon, Ernie Hudson, as he like, totally doesn’t give a shit about fashion and stuff, as he walks around his apartment in his underwear, a T-shirt, and his policeman’s hat.

Anyway, that’s it for The Crow episode. We’ve got to get back to our crypts. When we rise again, the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular will be posing for some gnarly death pics with…Ginger Snaps. -
Welcome To The Witching Hour.
-
In the neo post-apocalyptic wasteland…the last video store on Earth still spreads the lost art of cinema…
But during the month of October…its employees, and some special guests, shine a spotlight…on Goth.
Welcome to the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular, I’m your poser Goth host, David Snider, and I'm joined by my fellow witches with normal sized heads, Kara and Janna.
Topics of discussion in this episode include whether Skeet Ulrich and Breckin Meyer pass or fail the Hot or Not Test; The Craft teaches us that not all mumbling strangers who brandish snakes are bad; and finally, the question that has plagued us on past episodes returns: what exactly did people in the 90s and 2000s have against big asses?

Captain’s Log, Stardate 4842.46
After a long and sexy summer of covering nothing but dance films, the crew is excited to get back to the world of Star Trek with season three’s, The Paradise Syndrome. I have instructed Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie to watch their step while reviewing this episode, lest they find themselves waking up in a dark room with odd looking machinery, asking themselves, “This is not my beautiful starship…this is not my Native American wife…HOW…did I get here??
I’m your host and captain, Dave, and joining me again as we travel through the final frontier of the Original Series of Trek are fellow Trekkies Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie.
Topics of discussion in this episode include Captain Kirk’s flagrant disregard of the Prime Directive; a leaf blower signals the beginning of the end for the inhabitants of a doomed planet; and finally, James T. Kirk has his sixth best relationship of the series as he gets friendly with a young native american woman on Planet California.

The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast will return with Balance of Terror. -
The mindless, murderous fury that was buried with Jason has been reborn. And suddenly, terror has become child's play!
Well, here we are again, folks. Another Friday the 13th, another obligatory Friday the 13th episode. After so many installments, how can the filmmakers possibly top all that has come before? Are we going to get more gruesome kills? Are they going to have an even more disgusting looking version of Jason? – No. What we get this time are hillbillies, random greasers, and a fake Jason that can barely swing a machete. As the film’s esteemed hillbilly Ethel would say, “eat your fuckin’ slop!”.
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we watch the Friday the 13th franchise reach new depths of sleaze are fellow cinephiles and crazed ambulance drivers Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the infamous Roy (aka: Fake Jason), and how we should have had a scene where he’s granted Jason powers via dark magic (because why the hell not?); we look behind the scenes at the (alleged) hardcore drug use reported on the set and how the film’s director was (allegedly) a huge creep; and finally, we ask exactly what the hell was wrong with the kids in this halfway home? Because all we are shown is that a handful suffer from excessive horniness, one a stutter, and another a chocolate addiction.
Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Follow Us on Twitter, Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at [email protected]. What are your thoughts on A New Beginning? Is Roy the worst Jason or the best Jason? Let us know!
That’ll do it for this obligatory Friday the 13th episode. We’ll be hanging with our old pal Jason again in December when we look at the second “Final” Friday with Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. See you then folks. And remember, never eat enchiladas unless you’re within ten to twenty feet of an outhouse. -
The dark side of nature.
Apocalypse Video is back and we’ve got a brand new theme song, baby! That is…we have two brand new theme songs. It seems we have a little controversy on our hands. Mike claims that Ryan has stolen his new theme song, while Ryan - in a surprising and out of nowhere southern accent - claims he merely took an “unrealized” theme song and improved upon it. Thankfully, the answer to this debacle may lie in today’s episode, the 1996 box office hit Twister, in which two groups of storm chasers battle for tornado research dominance, with a stolen concept at the route of their hatred for each other. Will we be able to answer who’s theme song is better by the end of the episode?
Who cares?! We’ve got cows!!!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we blast some Van Halen and avoid getting impaled in the face with flying debris are fellow cinephiles and storm chasers Mike and Ryan.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how Twister perfectly masks the sound of the audience munching on popcorn; we break down the completely unfair and shitty treatment of Jami Gertz’s “Dr. Melissa Reeves” by nearly every character in the film; and finally, we compare the climax’s F-5 tornado to Michael Myers as it mercilessly stalks and kills its victims.

The Apocalypse Video Bond Cast will return with…The Spy Who Loved Me. -
There are those who believe that podcasts here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes ofneckbeard film fans who may have been the forefathers of the movie review podcast. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now podcast to survive, somewhere beyond Apocalypse Video…
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best to hide some contraband booze from security is my faithful companion and trusted advisor, “Nick” Immortan Hoof.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the noticeable downshift in quality as the show loses its TV movie prestige and enters its “just TV” phase; Commander Adama makes some creepy passes at his soon to be daughter in law; and finally, we laugh at Baltar’s false sense of superiority and his insatiable desire to splay while in his high chair.

Get some action!
Ahhh, another summer film promotion in the books, and I gotta say...as owner of Apocalypse Video and Executive Producer of Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest, I think we really knocked it out of the park this year (my so called friends waterboarding and ridiculing me for my love of Flashdance notwithstanding). However, it seems there are some out there in the Wasteland who weren’t overly fond of our focus on dance films this year. So, as an attempt to win back our action craving audience, this week we bring you none other than the maximalist action film from acclaimed(?) filmmaker McG: Charlie’s Angels. It’s got guns, explosions, and more early 2000’s bullet-time ripoffs than you can shake a butt at!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me on this mission are fellow cinephiles and my own Angels, Mike, Jackie, Ryan, and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.
Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that distills every trope and gimmick from the year 2000 into one insane 95 minute runtime; we wonder if Cameron Diaz was stricken with the Joker’s laughing gas during filming, as she can’t seem to stop herself from grinning like a maniac during every scene; and finally, Ryan attempts to answer the question that has plagued mankind since the late 90s: who or what is a McG?
Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Follow Us on Twitter, Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at [email protected]. What movies have we given good reviews for that you absolutely can’t stand? Let us know.
That’ll do it for now, Angels. I’ll leave you all to shake your butt in your room alone for the benefit of absolutely no one but a horny teenage audience (see film above for reference). -
All rise! The Court of Horny Affairs is now in session. The Honorable Judge Janna presiding. The defendant, one David Snider, has been accused of excessive horniness while discussing the film Flashdance on the podcast known as “Apocalypse Video”. The defendant has been made aware of his rights and will face Flashdance-style water dropping if found guilty.
The prosecutors in this case are Kara and Jackie and have informed the court that they have more than enough evidence to send Dave away to Horny Jail for a very long time.
The defendant has been sworn in. Let the trial begin…
Pieces of evidence in this taped court session include Boner-Goggles, and how they can obscure one’s perspective on an otherwise terrible film; the character of Nick is shown to be a creepy stalker and has no business dating his employees; and finally, Mawby's Bar, as depicted in the film Flashdance, should by all accounts not exist, as it’s divey interior and skeezy clientele would have no interest in the performance art-style dance numbers taking place on stage.

When he said I do, he never said what he did.
Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest Vol. 4: Not THAT’S What I Call Dance Movies! is back for one last spin, and boy, have we got a banger for you…
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we put our significant others through intense interrogation tactics are fellow dancers and Omega Sector recruits Mike, Jackie, Cody, and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the sick and pathetic world of Simon the Used Car Salesman; we ponder the practicality of a villain employing a full time ski patrol as guards; and finally, we demand an oversight committee take a long overdue look at the misuse of government funds from Omega Sector as Harry Tasker wastes all of our tax dollars on stalking his wife.

We’ll see you next summer, folks! Until then…take your passion – and make it happen! -
May the best moves win.
Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest Vol. 4: Not THAT’S What I Call Dance Movies! is back, and now that we’ve got all of that ballet out of our system, it’s time to hit the football field and cheer on the losing team as we bust out our pom-pom’s with 2000’s Bring It On!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we collectively cringe at the early 2000’s f-bomb’s are fellow cheerleaders Mike, Ryan, Jackie, Nick, and special guest, Madolyn.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the shocking early 2000’s societal norms, such as everyone being cool with the occasional surprise thumb up a butt; we relive the glory days of the DVD boom; and finally, we write our own prequel which details the insane lengths that Big Red will go to in order to achieve the best cheer routine.

Be there! (...or we’ll call Omega Sector on your ass.) -
Every second chance begins with a first step.
Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest Vol. 4: Not THAT’S What I Call Dance Movies! is back, and this time we’re ditching our ballet shoes and throwing on our oversized t-shirts and sideways baseball hats as we prepare to Step Up!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best to carjack that elusive Escalade are fellow cinephiles and dancers Mike, Jackie, and special guests Kara and Madolyn.
Topics of discussion in this episode include how this whole movie is basically a Disney Channel Original Movie version of The Wire; Jenna Dewan is faced with the horrible ultimatum of having to succeed in dance or be forced to go to the dreaded Cornell University; and finally, we pour one out for our homie, Skinny, and his ultra nerdy name belt.
