  • Movie Bombs
    Oct 31 2022

    Not every movie can be a blockbuster or as as memorable as another.  Some movies just bomb!  They don't even have a chance.  Critics and fans flock to the internet to check out scores on Rotten Tomatoes.  The problem is, not all these movies are as bad as we are led to believe.  Not all fans know how to use Rotten Tomatoes.  

    Today The Collectors talk about movies that bombed, but were actually not that bad.  Just because the Box Office wasn't great doesn't mean the movies weren't.  Movies like Encino Man, Starship Troopers, The Shawshank Redemption and many more are put under The Collector's microscope in this episode!

  • The Fandom Menace
    Oct 3 2022

    Today, Chris and Mike, otherwise known as The Collectors will examine the phenomenon of Toxic Fandom.  This part of pop culture fandom is becoming more dominant in society.  It has always existed in one form or another.  Siskel and Ebert would review movies with thumbs up and thumbs down.  Talk around the water cooler about the previous night's tv or hockey game.  Now with the internet literally at everyone's finger tips, people are putting in their two cents in regards to anything available.  The Toxic Fans are the ones that are set in their ways and hold onto the past.  "This isn't MY Star Wars!", "Kirk is better than Picard!"  It is also a group that is often uneducated.  They know their favorite character from the movie, but know nothing of their history in comics, television or other media.
