There is no theme for today's episode other than appreciating a completely awesome movie, which is 1991's "Stone Cold" starring Brian Bosworth and Lance Henriksen. What's it got plenty of? Action, boobs and beefcakes. What does it has exactly zero of? Redeemable characters, logical motivations or happy endings.
Welcome back to AMP! Getting the podcast back on track, starting with a classic "How has it Aged" featuring friend of the show Dirk Marshall, the expert in movies about futures that have now come in gone in our reality. Today we hit a sweet motorcycle jump into the year 2020, where a post apocalyptic Texas is protected by shirtless beefcakes.
Before there was Jedi Party, Turbo and Ozone were out there settling all their grievances through the power of dance. Guest Lydia Bugg watches Breakin' for the first time and now has several street names to show for it.
From the makers of Spider-Man: Homecoming and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew comes...CLOWN, a body horror nightmare about a loving father's gruesome transformation into a demonic childrens' entertainer. Suggested by today's guest, Marvel Comics senior editor Jordan D. White!
New series coming at you, Tubi Tuesday. Tubi has become the modern day cable movie channel, suggesting only the raddest movies that no one would ever think to watch. First up is 2011's Priest with Paul Bettany. Since this is an Equilibrium clone, we bring in top Kurt Wimmer expert Robert Brockway to judge Priest's Wimmness.
In 2020, Anthony Ricks is tasked by a despotic U.S. President with entering Los Angeles - now an autonomous island prison - and recovering a doomsday device stolen by maniacal gang leader Ironhead. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the literally plot of Escape from LA with three keyword replacements. Alex Damon from Star Wars Explained will hopefully help explain how this happened.
In the wonderful land of 1993, true martial artists still held hope that one day their skills would be put to the test against a variety of gimmicky opponents. The protagonists of Shootfighter get more than they bargained for when some of those gimmicks include ripping out human hearts with their bare hands.
Get ready for the grim and gritty apocalyptic world of 2019! It's Steel Frontier, the little known Road Warrior "inspired" film that boldly asks "what if everyone in the apocalypse agreed to be cowboys again?" Featuring our friend Dirk Marshall from the VH-US podcast
For today's "How has it Aged", we're traveling back to the past to talk about a movie that also travels back to the past. To do this, we bring in the one man most qualified to speak on it, because he named his daughter after it. It's Timecop with father of Timecop, Seanbaby.
Special guest and author Dennard Dayle joins Zak to talk about Sinners in a way that you will either appreciate or become totally upset with. Probably similar to how people felt about Sinners itself.
Enter the world of KRULL, where Prince Krull must obtain the sacred Krull in order to defeat the evil Krull and rescue princess Krull. Special guest Robert Brockay and Zak agree: Krull rules.
Pablo Hidalgo is the official lore advisor for all of Star Wars, but those who visit his socials for Star Wars knowledge usually end up walking away with Transformers knowledge instead. His lore expertise extends beyond just one universe, and he puts it on full display to discuss 1986's Transformers the Movie. As an additional bonus, the film takes place in the year 2005 for qualification as a "How has it aged".
AMP - Episode 16: Sugar and Spice with Lydia Bugg by Auralnauts
In the year 2000, a financially ruined America has been reduced to a Christo-facist dictatorship. The only thing keeping the people in line is the annual cross country Death Race. Guest Merritt K and Zak discuss how much more awesome dictatorships are when they remember to give the people deadly spectacle.
This was originally going to be a "How has it Aged" episode about "Freejack", the 1992 sci-fi thriller that takes place in 2001, but Zak and guest Seanbaby talked their way into watching "The Big Hit" instead.
The year is 2007. The big one has turned LA into a gang infested karate fueled wasteland, but somehow in a kid friendly way. VH US podcast host Dirk Marshall joins Zak to see how well Double Dragon predicted the future.
We originally wanted to do a full Nosferatu episode, but then Skeleton Crew ended and we felt like we needed to talk about that too. If you don't think these two work as a companion piece, just picture Count Orlok chilling in one of those pleasure planet hot springs from Skeleton Crew and tell us it doesn't make sense.
The year is 2013, the FUTURE...of 1996. Does the second adventure of Snake Plissken hold up to the reality of our 2013, and more importantly, does Escape from LA hold up to Zak's prediction that the movie has aged well as an effective satire?
The boys try to get drunk on nostalgia with another bottle of legacy sequel, but they may have developed a tolerance. This time the flavor is Beetlejuice.
The boys take their "How has it Aged" premise and try to apply it to a bulletproof movie in a foolhardy attempt to be funny. But everyone just ends up having a good time instead, because Escape from New York is an amazing movie.
