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.

Another TV Junkyard! And throughout the month of May, David and Ryan are reviewing obscure, forgotten, or just plain weird Spider-Man shows!
This episode we review Spider-Man The New Animated Series, an early 2000's series that is created through computer animation, with a story made for an MTV audience in mind, while trying ride off the success of the 2002 Sam Rami Spider-Man film. Surely, all that is enough pressure to be considered a creator's nightmare, so there's no way this is good... right? Or is there a possibility that the bizarre star studded cast and occasional mature tones give it a fighting chance? Well, put away that game of snake on your Nokia phone and join us as we crack open this early 2000's time-capsule of this short lived series and find out if this is a crime or treasure in this episode of TV Junkyard!

Episode Number 98 - The Video Junkyard Goes to the Opera!
This week we look at cult musical Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008). Does this goth opera live up to its midnight movie reputation or do its organs need to be repossessed?

Another TV Junkyard! And throughout the month of May, David and Ryan are reviewing obscure, forgotten, or just plain weird Spider-Man shows!
This episode we review Spider-Man Unlimited. This forgotten series changes everything up for our favorite neighbor wall-crawler, firstly, by completely switching out the neighborhood with a completely different Earth located on the opposite side of the sun. Not only that, this Spider-Man has whole new costume and new animal-humanoid villains to go up against as well as some "unique" Counter-Earth equivalents of some classic ones. Did we mention a rat lady who has the hots for our hero? Well, we talk about that and other WTF moments in this episode of TV Junkyard!

It's another episode of the nonsensical soirée we call "Free Rentals". This time the guys talk candidly about Anime, DC Movies and Quarantine Cocktails and they didn't even know they were being recorded. Enjoy!

TV Junkyard is back! And throughout the month of May, David and Ryan are reviewing obscure, forgotten, or just plain weird Spider-Man shows!
To kick it all off is the 1981 Spider-Man cartoon, featuring painfully campy dialogue, an odd villain lineup, "innovative" web constructions, and dated animation that often puts our hero in some um... "questionable" positions. Did we mention a whole episode dedicated to a bloodthirsty Aunt May? Well, we talk about that and other WTF moments in this episode of TV Junkyard!

Welcome back to the Video Junkyard! with the help of our friends at TubiTV (www.tubi.tv)we continue to come to you "live" from quarantine.
This week we're watching Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST. A poorly made sword and sorcery film from the 80's with a WTF-stuffed narrative, questionable cinematography, and a sprinkle of unnecessary over-the-top gore from the "Maestro" himself. Definitely left us "split" on whether this is the worst or greatest D&D campaign of all time. It's by no means good but definitely entertaining in the worst ways.

Welcome back to the Video Junkyard! with the help of our friends at TubiTV (www.tubi.tv)we continue to come to you "live" from quarantine. This week we're watching Night of the Comet. It's worth a watch for so many reasons, not the least it's influence on modern pop culture (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc.). Watch along with the guys and see what we make of this modern "zombie" classic.
