Spencer and Dave are going back to 1988 and discussing what might be the greatest Jesus movie of all time. The Last Temptation of Christ. Directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Paul Schrader with Willem Dafoe playing Jesus, Barbara Hershey as Mary Magdalene, and the greatest Judas performance ever from Harvey Keitel. Based on the original book from Nikos Kazantzakis.

This story of Jesus really has a grounded, realistic human version of the legend. With some magic and fantasy still there in the epic. But Willem Dafoe makes the carpenter come across as a real fella who is just trying to figure out what is best in life and how exactly to spread the word of love and God right. It's one of those movies that just tells an interesting story and the questioning temptation that may offend the non-open-minded Christians out there who realistically probably are not that good of folks themselves. If one just gets past that, this movie here just delivers on all fronts and is really a hidden gem for everyone involved in making it.

Spencer and Cameron are diving into a review and discussion of the new Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly remake. The new visuals, extra features, and gameplay styles. How this one compares to the previous 3 versions from PS2 to Xbox and Wii.

The game is fantastic, filled will all kinds of ghostly terrors, Japanese ancient fables, and interesting story filled with death, sorrow, and a sisters love to get through the nightmare. Fatal Frame or Project Zero elsewhere, is defiantly a niche experience for a certain audience but it still holds the third tier of survival horror in our books. Only behind the big two of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Here's hoping for a remake of Fatal Frame 1 and 3 now to complete the new remaster series.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.

Spencer and Dave are going back to 1985 for a Vintage Cinema Review, to what might be the ultimate Arnold Schwarzenegger movie experience. Of course, Terminator and Conan the Barbarian are his most famous roles, but Commando is everything great about Arnie wrapped in one action filled party. It's got the big explosions, hand to hand combat, guns a blazing, fantastic one liners, and great bad guy characters that feel like proto–Metal Gear Solid like villains. What is not to love here. Plus, the movie is just excellently paced and is always one of the best watches, no matter how many times we have seen it. And we may have a Commando 2 sequel on the horizon. You never know.

The story of Commando is about John Matrix and his daughter Jenny, living a peaceful life in the California mountains after a long stent as a military man. Matrix is retired but just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in. When Bennet (Vernon Wells), an old comrade who was known for flying off the handle, teams up with General Arius who wants Matrix to overthrow the Val Verde government. And to get him to do this they capture his daughter and hold her hostage. Well, the ticking time bomb is off, and John Matrix will stop at nothing to save his daughters life. No matter how much carnage he causes in his wake. Teaming up with Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong) and taking on other great villains like Cooke (Bill Duke) and Sully (David Patrick Kelly). Commando is like the Rambo story if everything went good after Vietnam for him. Though Matrix still has his own Trautman like General, Kirby (James Olson) trying his best to re-enlist him.

Directed by Mark L. Lester and written by comic book legend Jeph Loeb along with Matthew Weisman and Steven E. de Souza who is on like every major action film of the 80s and 90s. A bad ass soundtrack by James Horner, edited by Mark Goldblatt, and produced by none other than Joel Silver. A recipe for the best of the best action credits have to offer.

We also watched the director's cut version which only adds a little more than a minute's worth of bonus scenes in but is well worth it just for a fraction more violence and a couple extended chats between Matrix and Cindy.

Commando - Blu Ray, DVD, Prime Video - https://amzn.to/4lFZ1Du

Spencer and Dave are going back to 1974 (1975 for the USA release) to talk all about the film, The Yakuza. From writer Paul Schrader of Taxi Driver, Rolling Thunder, and Raging Bull to name a few and director Sydney Pollack of Jeremiah Johnson, Out of Africa, and Tootsie comes a master class take on the Japanese gangster drama, made to introduce the culture to American audiences. Sadly, like many of Asian oriented movies of back in the day, didn't make a lot at the American box office but still delivers an almost perfect noir action picture.

Starring Robert Mitchum, Ken Takakura, and Brian Keith. The story is about a group of old WW2 buddies coming back to Japan after their stent in the occupation time and looking for ones missing daughter who they suspect the Yakuza has taken. Robert Mitchum's character Kilmer knows Japan best and even had a romantic fling back in the day to a woman named Eiko, who he also saved from the war torn Tokyo. Her brother, Ken is in his debt to Kilmer, for protecting and helping his sister while he was missing in action post WW2. The lifelong obligation of giri, that can traditionally never be repaid is what he has to help out Kilmer and his friends take on the Yakuza.

The movie is just fantastic, great Japanese set pieces, an excellent jazz like score, and then the brutal action one would expect from a Paul Schrader story. Filled with twists and turns that really sets up this amazing story. Plus, all sorts of Japanese culture references and early education throughout. Cool stuff for anyone raised on manga, anime, and video games.

Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 2: As My Mothers Made Me - https://amzn.to/3Nqx8mg

Spencer and Dave are going back to talk the sequel to George Lucas' rock n' roll and hot rod hang out picture, with More American Graffiti from 1979 on the latest Vintage Cinema Review. This movie may look like a simple cash grab in for the huge success of the first film and the Star Wars boom but instead this movie really delivers film making like few others have tried. Literarily brining everybody back from the original film except Richard Dreyfuss but Harrison Ford still shows up. We got Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, Paul Le Mat, Candy Clark, Charles Martin Smith, and Mackenzie Phillips. With Bill L Norton writing and directing the story from George Lucas.

There are four stories going on, that cut back and forth, pre Tarantino style to deliver the events of New Years Eve from 1964-1964. Each one is shot and edited together in a completely different film style to really add some artistic flair throughout. John Milner has his drag racing story, in ultra-wide screen cinema style, Toad's tale goes into his journey into the Vietnam War and is shot in 16mm full screen to come across like news footage. Then the most interesting take is Debbie's story as she is now hanging out in San Francisco during the prime hippie era and everything is in multi camera view. So, you can get anywhere from 2 to 9 different screens going on at once. Similar to the Woodstock movie and music videos as well. The last story, Steve and Laurie are shot in a normal widescreen and starts off like a hard drama with their marriage falling apart as Laurie wants to leave her motherly duties and join the workforce. No way is a conservative man like Steve going to take that with his Modesto California farm upbringing, so you see their struggle unfold as they get involved in riots and protests for the war trying to bring it all back together.

Overall, the stories are really interesting and everything just adds to the characters we first met in the original film. The movie is still funny and is filled with wall to wall music of the mid sixties era. And even for a modest budget there is still a lot of action and explosions packed into the Vietnam war scenes. If you enjoyed the first round, this one is still worth the drive in.

American Graffiti / More American Graffiti 2-Movie Collection [DVD]

Spencer and Cameron are jumping into the latest Resident Evil game, with Requiem, the 9th in the main series and really the first game since six (dis-including the remakes) that feels like a proper Resident Evil story. 7 and 8 were fun games in their spin off sort of way but just never felt like proper RE titles. More like they should have been their own games, like other Capcom titles that took the Resident Evil format and ran with it. Onimusha, Dino Crisis, and Devil May Cry to name a few. But whatever, here we are at 9 and boy what an experience it is.

There's a parallel story line going on where you play as Grace Ashcroft who is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft (from Outbreak on PS2 for those that remember) and Leon Kennedy. A now grizzled hero from previous RE games including 2, 4, 6, and Gaiden. The cool thing is that each character has a different play style. Grace is more in the traditional survival gameplay style of limited inventory, less weapons, puzzle solving, and hiding from the big boss stalker enemies. While Leon on the other hand has seen it all and is prepared for whatever comes next, so he's locked and loaded, and ready to lay the smackdown on anything that gets in his way. Which ends up making pretty much the Resident Evil Greatest hits of gameplay from the past 30 years.

This story has the feeling of being like Leon's next chapter after RE2. Similar to how Claire Redfield had this with Code Veronica. Leon is teamed up with Sherry Birkin on the radio (who knows what happened to Hunnigan) and is on the search for the T-Virus cure that they are both infected with. And somehow, Grace is the key to all this as left in the final messages of Oswell E. Spencer.

Fantastic job they did on the baddies and the zombies are probably the most well-done versions in any game out there. Goes to show there is always a way to add some new dimension to an old formula. With new game plus extras and hopefully some DLC coming soon to answer some more questions like, who really is Zeno? What does Chris Redfield and BSAA have going on? And did Hunk make it out alive? All this and more will be pondered on.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.

Spencer and Cameron are going with a double feature podcast episode. The FMV styled survival horror games from Kenji Eno and his company Warp. Revolutionary and mind blowing in the graphics for the time but might be archaic for the modern-day gamer. Nevertheless, these two games are really a major part of retro horror gaming history that any hardcore gamer should take a look at least once.

First with D and originally on Panasonic 3DO back in 1995. All about a girl named Laura who goes to find her father after he went crazy on a mass killing spree at a hospital. But when she gets there, she is warped away to some castle like environment and there the mystery begins. Myst is the easiest comparison and explanation of how these games play out. The prerendered environments and the click around and find out puzzles. D predates Resident Evil 1 by just a moment, and you can see a lot of the proto scares to come.

Next, we dive into the somewhat sequel, Enemy Zero on Sega Saturn in 1996 Japan and 97 USA. (Really just a sequel by a blonde heroine of the same name as the main character) This game's story is pretty much a Japanese remake of Ridley Scott's Alien, with a group of space travelers waking up mid trip and realizing there is an xenomorph on board creating havoc. But in E0, there's a whole bunch of aliens and to top off the madness, they are invisible... And the only way to figure out where they are is by a pulsing sonar sound system. Clever yes. Unique, definitely. A big pain in the ass. Oh, you better believe it.

Enemy Zero is one of those games that would be like torture to complete this on original hardware. A lot of guess work with tons of trial and error but then you add in instant kills and load screens. The difficulty goes from challenging and scary to tedious and a slog. But with an emulation, save states, and a guide to see the maps and keep you on track, it is actually kind of an exotic gaming experience unlike much else. As long as your Sega Saturn emulation isn't giving you trouble. Ha ha.

But all in all, these games were worth the experience. Back in the day, D was almost a perfect scoring game in magazines like Gamepro. Now it's something slow and guessing but still a great perspective into the past. Next, with a little longer wait for the release in the US, Enemy Zero came out with mixed reviews. Some appreciation and others, like Gamepro, giving it a 1 out of 5. Boy, the times had changed and it doesn't help that two other perfectly scored horror games came out around the same time. Little titles like Quake 2 and Resident Evil 2. But in the modern age, with the power of emulation, we think it's possible to enjoy Enemy Zero right.

Now we are looking really forward to D2 on the Sega Dreamcast. The third game in this series. And the one that has always had my eye ever since it came out yet sadly, just never got around to buying and playing it.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.
