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.

On this special episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast, we invite our special guest - Dr. Joe Frederickson of the Weis Earth Science Museum - to discuss the 1997 horror thriller "The Relic"!
Based on the popular book by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, "The Relic" involves a series of brutal slayings in a natural history museum with evidence that the killer may not be human! The Relic stars Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller, and Linda Hunt, and is directed by Peter Hyams.

This week we skim the bargain bin and find one we've never even heard of before. How does a film like this fly under our radar? It features two of our favorite actors (Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe) and was directed by critically acclaimed writer/director Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull). That must mean this one is really a stinker, right? Well, we don't want to spoil the show, you'll have to tune in and find out what we thought of the 2016 crime thriller "Dog Eat Dog".

On this episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast, we take a look at the 1995 American comedy/detective film "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls". Jim Carrey reprises his role as the titular pet detective (we tried to avoid the first one for...reasons), this time venturing (get it?) to Africa to recover a stolen albino bat in an effort to stop two tribes from going to war with one another. While the first Ace Ventura film has NOT aged well, how does the sequel stand? Check out the episode to find out! Take care now, bye bye then...
