  • 025 - RUSTLERS' RHAPSODY (Hugh Wilson, 1985)
    Dec 1 2025

    Rex O’Herlihan (Tom Berenger) knows how to rescue poor townsfolk from wealthy bad guys. In this self-aware version of an old Western serial, Rex will befriend the town drunk, Pete (G.W. Bailey) have to square up against the nefarious, greedy antics of Colonel Ticonderoga (Andy Griffith). He’ll appear even more befuddled by the advances of prostitute Miss Tracy (Marilu Henner) and Ticonderoga’s daughter, Miss Ticonderoga (Sela Ward). Will Rex inevitably prevail over the forces of bad?

    Join Bill and Colin as they explore this lukewarm Western comedy made by Writer/Director Hugh Wilson immediately following his mega success with POLICE ACADEMY (1984).

  • 024 - NIGHT OF THE COMET (Thom Eberhardt, 1984) with Tim Rush
    Nov 11 2025

    Two valley girl sisters (Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney) wake up to find most of the world’s population gone. The comet that has just passed the earth has also wiped out everyone who wasn’t protected by metal walls. Those humans who haven’t been turned to dust share the fate of becoming man-eating zombies. Deep in the desert scientists who foresaw this problem have protected themselves in an underground bunker but have found that they didn’t do a great job of it. Now they need blood to slow their fates of becoming zombies. Will our sisters and their new trucker friend (Robert Beltran) survive the end of the world?

    Join Bill, Colin and Editor Tim Rush as they mine the depths of this clever, upbeat satire with heart.
