  • Episode 79: I Come in Peace AKA Dark Angel (1990)
    Jan 5 2026

    This week we've got drug dealers, aliens, sophisticated detectives, uptight FBI agents, and enough explosions to turn Michael Bay into Tex Avery's Howling Wolf. Oh, and we forgot to mention, it's also Christmastime. That's right, we're talking Craig R. Baxley's action/sci-fi thrillride, I Come in Peace AKA Dark Angel with Deke from Sidetrakd16. Will this out-of-this-world tale create an endorphin burst large enough to trigger an intergalactic takeover of the planet or will the fellas be left stranded looking for another fix? Tune in to find out!

So, remember to breathe, and tune in to find out if PTA televised the revolution or if Gil Scott-Heron was right all along!

  • Short Ends: The Occupant of the Room (2025)
    Dec 19 2025

    It's that time of year where a chill in the air can be so cold that it permeates everything, eventually settling deep in one's bones. Luckily, we have friends, fire, and ghost stories to keep us warm. Alyssa of the The Silver Scream Podcast joins Joe to discuss Kier-La Janisse's hauntingly good adaptation of "The Occupant of the Room", an eerie tale of a man just trying to find a safe place to sleep. Did the crew survive the night or were the spectral happenings in the Alps just too much to overcome? Tune in to find out!
