Video Junkyard Podcast
Do you ever get a flash of a memory of a movie you saw as a child, but can’t remember the name? Perhaps you caught it on TV while staying up later than you should have. Or maybe you never saw it, but you recognize the cover art from the neighborhood video store around the block. At the Video Junkyard, we dig up these forgotten films and franchises and see if they still hold up in the digital age. Hosts Erik Gulbrandsen, Joe Peterson and Ryan Steiskal will look at the best, the worst, and the best of the worst.

In this episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast, Erik, Ryan, and Joe venture into the bayou to track down the legendary guardian of the green, Swamp Thing! While this classic DC Comics character has been the subject to three television series, we take a look back at the 1982 film "Swamp Thing" and the 1989 sequel "The Return of Swamp Thing"! Are these films buckets of bog water, or do their tendrils still have some life? Rev up the airboats and check out the discussion on the Video Junkyard Podcast!

This week we take a look at, not one, but two Highlander films. We'll check out the classic 1986 "Highlander" and it's (in)famous sequel "Highlander II: The Quickening". Then we'll attempt to compare the two and see if The Quickening is really as bad as legend tells us. Is this truly the series that should "be only one"?

This week we look at a classic movie based on a classic Arcade video game. We all know how that usually goes. Ryan and David join Erik again this week to discuss 1993's "Double Dragon". Is this one another 8-bit cash grab or is it a worth another look?

This is it. The one you've been waiting for. Probably. Maybe. Maybe not. But either way this is the show where we finally review "Hell Comes to Frogtown". They pretty much made this movie with our podcast in mind (not actually true, or possible). Look this one up on Tubi (https://tubitv.com/movies/498861/hell_comes_to_frogtown?start=true) and then join Ryan and Erik as they dissect this Froggy (metaphorically of course, no animals dead or living were harmed in the production of this podcast).

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast, Erik and Joe hop in the car, hit the gas, and check out Freeway (1996), directed by Matthew Bright and starring Reese Witherspoon, Kiefer Sutherland, Brooks Shields, and more, this mid-90s take on Little Red Riding Hood became a cult classic and launched Witherspoon to stardom. While edgy and viscous in the 90s, it's definitely pushing boundaries in 2020. But does this one still work 24 years later? Check out the movie on TubiTV and then listen to the Video Junkyard Podcast to join in the conversation!
