In the distant future the world has been thrown into a ice age and the only remaining humans ride in a train that never stops as it goes around the whole world. The front end is the super rich and powerful, the back end the poor and the weak. The backend has had enough and is going to fight their way to the front and change the way things are. They'll stop at nothing to get there no matter the cost. It's a rich movie that really explores how far you would go to survive.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2012/11/movie-issues-sixteen-candles/This week the guys go back to the 1980's to give some major love to the one and only John Hughes. We watched Sixteen Candles, a simple story about Sam (Molly Ringwald), whose entire family forgets her 16th birthday because her older sister is getting married the next day. Next thing we know, we're following Sam for the next 24 hours, bringing us a debaucherous party with a drunk Asian foreign exchange student, giving her panties to the king of the nerds, and falling for the crush of her dreams. It's one crazy day! So join us and listen in as we remember why there can only be one John Hughes.

The movie that is only worth the watch to see Samuel L. Jackson say lots of funny things and kill bunches of CG snakes! Best. Movie. Ever. We also discuss the Man of Steel: Batman vs. Superman, the new beautiful Maleficent trailer, and Spooky's massive fear of snakes. Yea, it's a good one this week! So please download and enjoy with us!

Original broadcast date August 28, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/08/movie-issues-the-faculty/This week the guys go back to school with Robert Rodríguez's 1998s sci-fi horror flick, The Faculty. The teenage version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers mixed with some of The Thing. What we get is a rather fun creature feature with tons and tons of actors who have gone on to become huge stars. Over all a pretty fun flick. The guys also talk Star Wars and more dumping on WB and their "plan" for DC Comic films. Just another average week.
