This April…one podcast will refuse to abandon its standards…for Action!

All April long Apocalypse Video is celebrating the best of high flying, show stopping thrills from the 90s! Everything from Air Force One to Con Air! Political thrillers to sky diving escapades! All the action you could want from the decade that excelled in lighting up the skies!

For the inaugural flight of Airpril, Apocalypse Video welcomes you to the most secure airplane on the planet, as Gary Oldman and his fanaticial Russian cohorts hijack President Harrison Ford’s plane and force him to release a genocidal General from prison or they will execute hostages in Wolfgang Peterson’s political thriller…Air Force One. Strap in and hold on…for the ride of your life!

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me on this flight is my co-pilot and fellow cinephile, Mike.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Air Force One plays like a Conservative’s action fueled wet dream; we marvel at the film’s amazing sound design as it tests the limits of our home theater’s speaker system; and finally, we analyze the film’s controversial use of terrible CGI in its climax and whether or not it’s better or worse than The Scorpion King’s infamous third act appearance in The Mummy Returns.

That will do it for the first leg of our Airpril flight through 90’s action. When we return, we’ll catch a connecting flight at Lerner Air Field as Nicholas Cage kicks ass and flaunts his amazing gif-able hairdo in 1997’s Con Air. Until then, GET OFF OUR PLANE!!!

Hello, and welcome to another month of Apocalypse Video’s look at the wondrous world of Nature. For the month of March, we leave behind the ocean waters and take to the skies to observe the many species that inhabit the world above our heads. This…is March of the Penguins (...And Other Bird Related Films).

On the final installment of March of the Penguins (And Other Bird Related Films), we discuss the Marx Bird. A pioneer in the world of comedy; the Marx Bird uses fast speech and word play to confuse its prey while it moves in for the punchline. Its techniques are so effective, that they are still being used by its comedy progenitors nearly a hundred years later. And there is no finer example of the Marx Bird in its prime…than Duck Soup.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we go off to War are fellow cinephiles and bird lovers Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the hornieness of pre-code movies; Ryan explains the importance of watching a Marx Brothers film with a crowd; and finally, we try to solve the mystery that has puzzled mankind for a hundred years: what the hell is Zeppo Marx’s deal?

And thus concludes our titular March. When we return in April, we’ll be ditching our feathers and flying the skies on wings of steel as we crack open the best high flying action films that the 1990’s has to offer with Air-pril! We’ll see you then!

Hello, and welcome to another month of Apocalypse Video’s look at the wondrous world of Nature. For the month of March, we leave behind the ocean waters and take to the skies to observe the many species that inhabit the world above our heads. This…is March of the Penguins (...And Other Bird Related Films).

In this third installment we enter a mysterious and bizarre world inhabited by both the living and the dead; a world locked in a power struggle between its creator and an angry Parakeet King; a world much like ours, and like our world, it too is fragile and all too close to calamity. This…is The Boy and the Heron.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best not to be overrun by swarming toads are fellow cinephiles and Studio Ghibli fanboys Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that you understand less with each rewatch; The Heron gives Michael Myers a run for his money in the creepy, stalking department; and finally, we wonder if The Boy and the Heron is the last film of its kind and whether or not Miyazaki will return to show everyone how it’s done one more time.

And thus concludes our look into the strange and wonderful imagination of Hayao Miyazaki. When we return, we’ll be yucking it up with the Marx Brothers as they lay down some comedy foundations in Duck Soup.
