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.

This week we start a new format. We will be doing weekly shows but only reviewing one film per week (or in this case one film and it's sequel). Allows us to get you more content more often as well as shorten the show length a bit.
Anyway, this week Joe and Erik look at the cult classic "C.H.U.D."(1984)and it's screwball sequel "C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud" (1989). Enjoy!
