  Episode #7

  Extra Credit: Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013) & Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle (2022)

  Aug 18, 202658 minS5

  Adrian and Dion return with an Extra Credit episode, testing their mettle - and tolerance for clip art - as they face the rest of the trilogy begun with James Nguyen's Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010): Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2010) and Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle (2022). If they thought the Hitchcocksploitation of the first Birdemic was clear but questionable, what will they think of a filmmaker remaking their own films that attempt to remake Hitchcock? Films within films and Hitchcock trivia abound in the height of cinematic déjà vu!

  Episode #6

  A Flock of Seagulls: Beaks: The Movie (1987) & Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010)

  Aug 11, 20261h 8mS5

  Adrian and Dion are back again, this time watching the skies for more Hitchcocksploitation. They discuss two attempts to rework Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film The Birds with René Cardona Jr.'s Beaks: The Movie (1987) and James Nguyen's Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010). How close do these films come to Hitchcock's natural horror, and what other kinds of horrors do they unleash on audiences? Adrian and Dion try to figure out the line between loving homage and rip off, and what these films are actually doing in mining Hitchcock's film. Hopefully one of them remembered the coat hangers.

  After-School SpeciAL: Nothing But Trouble (1991)

  Apr 7, 202638 minS5

  Adrian and Al lose their minds as they veer off the beaten path in their mutual admiration for Dan Aykroyd's singular and eccentric comedy Nothing But Trouble (1991). While the film is universally maligned, the brothers' unrepentant love in their memories of the film is tested with the rewatch. Have oddities like Bobo and L'il Debbull aged well for them? Is the film still cinema magic, or have their memories betrayed them?

  After-School SpeciAL: Fortress (1985)

  Mar 3, 202644 minS5

  Adrian and Al are back to reminisce over Fortress (1985), the Ozploitation thriller about kidnappers in Halloween masks and a class of outback schoolchildren, a film with enough violence they certainly shouldn't have seen it as young as they did. But what will Adrian and Al think now of these children and their showdown with their captors? How will they now see that screen violence and, more importantly, what will they make of those kids constantly singing?

  Episode #3

  After-School SpeciAL: Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)

  Feb 3, 202639 minS5

  Adrian and his brother Al revisit Wes Craven's Vampire in Brooklyn (1995), the horror-comedy where the only thing more mysterious than the creatures of the night is a film confused about what it wants to be. Adrian and Al consider whether the film's tone and high points of character comedy and horror set pieces have aged well, or if instead the film should be buried with a stake through its heart.
