What’s up, dudes? It was the miniseries that examined fascism through a 1980s American lens…with sci-fi! Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox and I talk the Christmas episode from V  “Reflections in Terror!”In this 9th episode from the 1984 series, Diana sends a mistletoe sales lady to collect the starchild Elizabeth’s blood. With it, she’s able to clone the starchild at Christmastide. Unfortunately, the clone is feral and kills just about everything. Meanwhile, Donovan, Ham, and Farber work with a church to smuggle orphans into the free city of LA to get them to foster parents. Consequently, the action draws Visitor suspicion, and the Resistance has to use force to succeed. While all this is occurring, Bates discovers that Julie is a mole and has the restaurant headquarters attacked. Luckily, everyone escapes, the clone dis in Elizabeth’s arms, the tracker is killed, and Ham plays Santa!Clones? Check. Santas? Both Willie and Ham. Casablanca ripoffs? Only if it’s between Julie and a Visitor playing piano!  So grab your guns, hide out in a church, and fight reptilian aliens to this episode on V “Reflections in Terror!”After LunchGive us a buzz!

What's up, dudes? I've got Shawn, Jaime, and Pax from the Cult Film Club with me here to dive into the 1984 sci-fi flick "Trancers"! We really get into it because this one's got it all! The evil killer psychic Whistler has a unique power: he can turn the weak-willed into zombie-like creatures called trancers! When he travels to the past to murder the ancestors of the council, hard boiled neo-noir Trooper Jack Deth subsequently follows him. It seems that anyone could be entranced! Jack fights off a mall Santa, a tanning salon owner, and even a possessed police detective in his pursuit of Justice. He also gets help from his own ancestor, and visits a punk rock club. Oh yeah, and he even manages to save the day! Spoiler alert: beware of former ball players throwing trash on roofs!Zombies? Check. Psychics? Yep. Time Travel? Definitely. Falling in love with your own great-great-grandma? Of course!  So put some grease in your hair, equip your long second watch, and head to a punk rock club to dig this episode!Cult Film ClubFacebook: Cult Film ClubTwitter: @CFCPodInstagram: @cultfilmclubGive us a buzz!

What’s up, dudes? I’ve got AA and CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night here to talk the remarkably well written Robotech! For a kids show, it tackled some pretty adult themes! There’s a love triangle, civilian casualties, and a successful villain mission? What?! It’s true! It’s Christmas time, and Khyron is out for protoculture! This means he plans to lead a raiding party to take some by force. Meanwhile, Rick Hunter’s personal life is thrown into further disarray when his ex Minmei shows up unexpectedly due to her seasonal loneliness. And when his potential (and spoiler alert: eventual) love interest Lisa Hayes catches them in flagrante delicto, things get even more dicey! Khyron subsequently attacks, and while veritech pilots are scrambled, Lisa neglects to contact Rick due to her spurned heart. Overhearing the conflict on the news, Rick rushes to the city’s aid. Unfortunately Khyron is sneakily strategic, and plants bombs around the city. It’s get the bad guy or save the city time, so there’s only one thing to do!There are multiple casualties and injured, but not even a Zentraedi attack can break the Christmas spirit! The faithful gather at a church to sing “Silent Night,” and Rick and Minmei share a meal and a kiss!This Christmas episode is heart-pounding and gut-wrenching! It’s also a tribute to the human spirit and the spirit of Christmas! So grab your protoculture, hop into your veritech’s cockpit, and fly into this Robotech episode!!Just Another Friday NightFacebook: JAFNPodcastTwitter: @JAFNpodcastInstagram: @JAFNpodcastMerch: jafn Give us a buzz!
