All-new Culture Cast

Celebrate 'Merica's birthday with the most American' movie ever: 1996's Independence Day!  In the wake of it's recent sequel, the Gorehound and Nick look back at this sci-fi blockbuster classic.  What worked?  What didn't?  And why is this movie still remembered fondly today?  Welcome to Earf and check out this episode!

The Gorehound and Nick look back at this past season of HBO's biggest shows - its Sunday night lineup!  We are talking the popular Game of Thrones, Silicone Valley, and Veep.  What did they think about this past season?  The good and the bad!  This is a very fresh episode!  So, watch for spoilers! 

What happens when you mix The Walking Dead with Ender's Game?  You get the unremarkable movie, The 5th Wave (don't worry...this isn't the fifth in a series...and it probably won't even turn into a series).  What do Nick and the Gorehound have to say about this sci-fi young-adult-novel-turned-movie starring Kick-Ass's own Chloe Grace Moretz?  Come find out! 

Nick and the Gorehound are back to talk about Lucy, the massive 2014 sci-fi action thriller hit starring Scarlett Johansson!  They got some 'splainin' to do, so strap in and expand your minds!  Also, Bob Ross.

In what will one day be considered a classic episode, the Gorehound and Nick discuss the memorable 1987 Schwarzenegger movie, The Running Man.  It is like The Hunger Games, but without Jennifer Lawrence and with lots of violence (thereby making it a whole lot better). 

The Gorehound and Nick take the time this week to talk about two movies that are as much the same as they are different!  And they both feature Bill and Ted's very own Keanu Reeves!  What is this week's topic?  Well, it is a double feature of 2016's Keanu and 2014's John Wick!

After a week off due to technical difficulties, Nick and the Gorehound are back!  Since we are in the midst of a superhero summer at the movies, they decided to talk about some of their favorite superheroes!  Join the fun and have a listen on who they like!  It might just surprise you!

Nick and the Gorehound take a look at the concept of"culture".  What is it?  Why is it important?  Howdo we fit into it and why do we want to fit into it?  Theseare important things to consider and who better to do it than theAll-New Culture Cast!

In this week's episode, Nick and the Gorehound talk about some of their favorite video games!  And those games range from fighting and puzzle games to adventure and shooter games.  There is a lot to cover in this longer-than-usual episode, so sit back and relax to some video game talk!

Haters gonna hate.  Nick and the Gorehound talk about a bunch of things that seemingly everyone absolutely loathes, but they like.  This is a sequel of sorts to a previous episode.  They'll go over why they like these things and will refuse to turn in their internet cool card.  Download the episode and seethe in anger at the stuff you hate. Stay tuned until the end for an installment of "The Adventures of the Gorehound".

Nick and the Gorehound take a look at what we call "Interconnected Cinema" (aka composite films and hyperlink cinema) in which a movie will have multiple, parallel plot lines that all intersect with one another.  Come join them as they dissect this filmmaking style including discussions on examples, pros, cons, and what makes these films popular.

Nick and the Gorehound take a step back and discuss some trends, genres, styles, etc that they are not particularly fond of and/or simply loath for various reasons.  They are not begrudging anyone who likes such things, but they wanted to take some time and air their dislikes out.  Some of which may surprise you! They are prepared for your hate mail, so give them a listen!

Nick and The Gorehound are back talkin' 'bout movies! This week, the 2015 under-the-radar, cult film, Turbo Kid (with a cast of nobodies and Michael Ironside)!  Nick has been very excited about this film for some time!  Did it live up to the hype for him?  And what did the Gorehound think of this '80s throwback post-apocalyptic action comedy?  Listen to the episode to find out!

After a week off, the Gorehound and Nick are back discussing the biggest pop-culture gathering in Chicago, C2E2!  They both went and are extremely exhausted from the experience (and also saw a lot of Harley Quinns and Deadpools).  Come listen as they talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of this year's Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo! 

Join Nick and the Gorehound for a very special episode as they celebrate The Culture Cast blog's 100th podcast episode!  Since the All-New Culture Cast is its own sequel series, what better way to celebrate than to host a lively audio commentary track for the first episode of Fuller House, the sequel series to the very popular 90s sitcom Full House.  Fire up your Netflix and press play on "Our Very First Show Again". Note: Instructions on how to sync up the episode with this audio track are discussed in the episode’s preamble.  And this track can also be listened independently from watching the movie as Nick and the Gorehound discuss scenes and elements of the show as a whole as it relates to what is onscreen.

The truth is still out there and Nick and the Gorehound are there to find it in this open discussion to the ratings hit X-Files revival!  Did they like the 6 brand-new episodes fourteen years after the last ones?  Trust no one and find out by listening to the episode!

Nick and the Gorehound wanted to talk about David Duchovny's magnificent beard in the film Goats, but realized that it wouldn't be enough to fill an episode, so they decided to also talk about the film in question which also stars Vera Farmiga, Graham Phillips, Keri Russell, and Ty Burrell.  The Gorehound and Nick also discuss some questionable music.

Nick and the Gorehound subject themselves in what is easily to the worst movie they have watched thus far, Robot Overlords starring actual legitimate actors in Gillian Anderson and Ben Kingsley (they must have needed a quick paycheck).  How bad is it?  Well, listen to the episode to find out!

Fresh from Kurt Russell Month, the Gorehound and Nick (and the rest of America) are revisiting The X-Files and are in the mood for a David Duchovny.  Join them as they talk about the under-the-radar "dramedy" film, The Joneses starring Duchovny, Demi Moore, Amber Heard, and Gary Cole. 

Kurt Russell month comes to an end with the 90s cult favorite Captain Ron, also starring Martin Short.  What do the Gorehound and Nick have to say about a rare Kurt Russell comedy?  And listen how they go wildly off-topic to discuss other Kurt Russell movies and the future of the All-New Culture Cast!
