Season 3 Retrospective

Video CULTure — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 13:14:00 +0000

We've reached the end of 2021 (finally) and the end of our third season! Can you believe it? We are celebrating like always by looking back at all the films we've officially covered on the show this past year and their lasting impact on us. Listen in as we discuss our third year as we look forward to a fourth!

Holiday Stoner Trilogy Cappers (A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR CHRISTMAS & FRIDAY AFTER NEXT)

Video CULTure — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 16:10:00 +0000

Happy holidays! If there is one tradition we love it’s Christmas movies around the holidays. Sometimes though, it’s nice to watch something that is a little less than traditional Christmas fare… And we definitely have that here with these two stoner comedy “part 3” films that just happen to take place during Christmas! Haven’t seen the other films in the series? Who cares! Jokes are jokes! So, let’s light up (a nice Yule log fire), kick back, and dream of a “green” Christmas together!

Chevy Chase, Man of Action? (FOUL PLAY & SPIES LIKE US)

Video CULTure — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 14:16:00 +0000

He's Chevy Chase, and we're not. We mostly know him as "Clark W. Griswold" from the Vacation series and as the king of awkward, sarcastic humor. An early SNL cast favorite, there is no one that does banter like Chevy. Join in as Matt and Ryan discuss two of Chevy's films - one popular at the time ...but not so much today, and the other a 1980's comedy classic.

Ghostbusters… no, not those guys (THE FRIGHTENERS & BEETLEJUICE)

Video CULTure — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 14:16:00 +0000

Halloween is just around the corner and we thought now is the perfect time to talk about some unconventional ghost stories! We are discussing two horror-comedies that have people trying to battle spirits… who kind of stink at it! We are joined again for this episode by Video CULTure’s own Patrick Bartlett.

John Carpenter’s Escape (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK & ESCAPE FROM L.A.)

Video CULTure — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 19:26:12 +0000

We have made it to episode 70! And just like we do every ten episodes we are talking about a movie and its sequel. This time we are talking about John Carpenter’s iconic protagonist, played by the legendary Kurt Russell, Snake Plissken! To help us with that we are joined by Video CULTure’s staff writer (and Carpenter superfan) Patrick Bartlett.

Steve Martin (ROXANNE & BOWFINGER)

Video CULTure — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 14:43:00 +0000

Steve Martin. We love him. You love him. So, let’s talk about two of his starring roles that really illustrate why we think he’s the greatest.

Thieves (THIEF OF HEARTS & Michael Mann’s THIEF)

Video CULTure — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 14:23:00 +0000

In this episode, we are talking about two movies that have a weird central element, lonely thieves, but that couldn’t be more different. Well, except for the fact that they both also have great soundtracks. One’s a timeless classic, the other is all but forgotten… and we go deep on just why that is.

Sam The Man! (CHANGING LANES & THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT)

Video CULTure — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 14:59:00 +0000

We are finally talking all about the legendary Samuel L. Jackson on the show. We are focusing our discussion about one of the coolest actors in the game by talking about one of his classic performances and one that is too often slept on by audiences. This is one you don’t want to miss!

Blue-collar Emilio Estevez (MEN AT WORK & REPO MAN)

Video CULTure — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 16:59:04 +0000

It’s another “T.V. Party” here at the show as we talk about the 80s punk rock/sci-fi/blue-collar classic REPO MAN and the 90s cable mainstay comedy MEN AT WORK both starring the under appreciated Emilio Estevez!

Ancient Warriors in Modern Times (SPARTAN & RONIN)

Video CULTure — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 12:04:00 +0000

In this episode, we talk about two action films with more on their minds than just gunfire and car chases! Don’t get us wrong, that stuff is involved but these two films, the classic Robert DeNiro-starring RONIN and the criminally under-seen SPARTAN (starring Val Kilmer), have a lot more going on than just that and we are going to break it all down for you! So set your (redacted) to receive and listen in!
