    Jan 20 2025
    Please…sit. And welcome to the Church of Apocalypse Video. I’m your host and pastor, Dave, and joining me are fellow mistaken Messiah’s Mike and Ryan.

    Today, we will be reading from the Book of Python. Chapter 19, Verse 79: Life of Brian.

  • The Passion of the Christ (2004)

    The Passion of the Christ (2004)
    Jan 13 2025
    We hope you all had a safe and relaxing holiday…because it’s time to put on your church clothes and listen to the sermon of Apocalypse Video, as we bend our knee to the angry letters of the religious community and start a whole new monthly promotion: Jesusary. A month filled with nothing but Jesus-related content, ranging from his brutal crucifixion, to that one time that Willem Dafoe played him and Harvey Keitel was his best friend, the Brooklyn-sounding Judas.

    I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow heathens and blasphemers, Mike and Ryan.

    Topics of discussion in this episode include Ryan’s dismal AMC Passion experience; we all go “huh…?” as Jesus is depicted, apparently, as the inventor of the Chair; and finally, we take a look at the accolades The Passion of the Christ received - mainly how it performed in the most prestigious of award shows: the MTV Movie Awards.

    That’ll do it for the first station of Apocalypse Video’s Jesusary. When we return, we will be visiting the second station of Jesus content with Monty Python’s Life of Brian. See you next Sunday.

  • Jack Frost (1998)

    Jack Frost (1998)
    Jan 2 2025
    Why, hello there. And welcome back to the exciting conclusion to the Apocalypse Video Jack Frost Christmas Special Trilogy. I’m your host, Dave Davey, and oooh boy, have I got a third act for you! It seems old Michael had accidently left a window open when the boys recorded the last Jack Frost episode–err, that is, the one with the killer mutant snowman. And ooooh, wouldn’t ya know it…he came down with the dreaded Captain Trips. With Mike gone and Nick unavailable, how the heck were Dave and Ryan gonna save the Christmas Special?!

    Heh heh heh, don’t worry, listeners. After all, this is a Christmas Special, and Christmas specials always have a little secret ingredient…a happy ending.

    Topics of discussion in this episode include a film with a ton of credited writers (which is always a good sign); Ryan reveals when he officially became a man and left childhood behind (...by walking out of Jack Frost and into a showing of Stepmom); and finally, we wonder exactly how popular snowman jazz can possibly be.

Was it the non moving mutant snowman from ‘97 or the black eyed, computer generated nightmare from ‘98? Let us know, we wanna hear from ya!

    That’ll do it for the Apocalypse Video Jack Frost Christmas Special Trilogy. Thanks for joining us, folks. We hope you had a good Christmas! Until next time, I’ve been Dave Davey, and it’s time for me to sign off from my remote cottage in the frozen secluded wilderness of the northern wasteland. Happy New Year!

  • Road House (1989)

    Road House (1989)
    Dec 25 2024
    Nothing says Christmas like Road House!

    I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we gather around the bandstand and throw beer bottles at the chicken wire are fellow cinephiles and Double Deuce regulars Mike, Ryan, and special guest: Cody.

    Topics of discussion in this episode include how Road House is basically John Wick for bouncers; we lament the transformation of the Double Deuce from a divey road house to a glorified TGI Friday’s; and finally, we touch on the Jake Gyllenhaal remake and how it lost the spiritual and philosophical center that made the 1989 film such a classic (also, how it cast Connor McGregor in a lead role…BIG mistake).

    That’ll do it for this action packed interruption to our regular Christmas programming. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And don’t forget the one who made all of this holiday cheer possible…Brad Wesley. After all, there wouldn’t be a JCPenney in the greater Jasper area without him!

    Jack Frost (1997)
    Dec 23 2024
    Why, hello there and welcome back. What…? Did you really think that was the end of the Christmas special? Heck, no! We’re only up to Act II. And I hope you went to the bathroom between episodes, because this next part of the story may make you pee your pants a little…and believe me, I know a thing or two about peeing your pants.

    I’m your narrator, Davey, and I’m gonna tell you about the time that Dave, Ryan, Mike and Nick watched the 1997 snowman slasher Jack Frost.

    Topics of discussion in this episode include a 90’s video store staple that feels like an R-rated live-action Goosebumps; we pour one out for the troubled production of Jack Frost and it’s inability to conjure snow for it’s winter setting; and finally, we raise an eyebrow at the film’s suspicious wiki entries and wonder if the film’s director is rewriting history.

Are you a Jack Frost fan or are you one of them Gingerdead Man freaks? Let us know, we wanna hear from ya!

    Jack Frost (1979)
    Dec 22 2024
    Well, hi there! The name’s Davey - Dave Davey - and I’m gonna tell you the tale of the Apocalypse Video Christmas Special…that almost wasn’t. It seems that the store manager at Sector 2’s favorite video store got word that people were getting just plain fed up over all the themed episodes this year. And wouldn’t ya know it, he went and decided to cancel the year end Christmas Special! Thankfully, Mike, Ryan, and Nick put their brains together and came up with a plan to save the annual Christmas Special from the tyranny of that Grinch-like store manager, Dave.

    So put in your earbuds and sit a spell, while I recount the magical tale of Apocalypse Video’s Jack Frost Christmas Special Trilogy.

    Topics of discussion in this episode include the freakish and terrifying introduction of our titular hero; we debate the practicality of January Junction’s “Ice Money” system; and finally, Dave takes Pardon-Me Pete to task and accuses him of being a narcissistic con man.
