A review of 1986's The Hitcher. This movie is a fast-paced psychological/action/horror romp that pits an assuming young guy against an unrelenting, deranged killing machine whom might actually be indestructible. Enjoy!

#152 – Masters Of The Universe: It’s Dolphin’ Time
A look at 1987's Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, and Courteney Cox. This was Dolph's first time as leading (He-)Man, and despite his best efforts, it's a wild failure on nearly all levels. Enjoy!

A review of the mostly fun, and efficiently made sci-fi buddy cop romp that was 1988's Alien Nation starring James Caan, Mandy Patinkin, and Terence Stamp. Plus, never having seen The Godfather, the "ending" of Halloween, and why Rob Zombie's foray into PG movies could be good. Enjoy!
#146 –Superman IV: The One With The Volcano
A deep dive into 1987's Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. It’s a confounding quagmire of bad dialogue, a confusing plot, cheap FX, and unenergetic performances. But at least the story of the film's production is fascinating. Enjoy!
