it's the end of an era! the FINAL episode of WDWJW?!
When I started this podcast, my inspiration was taken from my own experience with friends having Video Nights at least once a week for a few years at one of those friends’ houses. That friend is this episode’s guest, and it’s been a long time coming. But you ARE somewhat familiar with previous...
New episode!
Finally, we get to talk about Motorama. This 1991 film was a solitary staple for me in my late high school years. I knew no one who had talked of seeing it. It had a good run on HBO or Cinemax (both since they are owned by the same folks swap movies all the time). […]
Like Making Contact, our film for this episode, XTRO, desperately wants to be a Speilberg movie. It doesn’t succeed in being that, but it is presented in marketing as a sort of horror response to Close encounters of the Third Kind & even more so, E.T. the Extraterrestrial. My guest on this show is...
New show!
1989 was not a strong year for conventional film. But for weirdo movies, it did OK. For example, this episode is about Meet the Hollowheads (otherwise known as Life on the edge). Written by Lisa Morton & Tom Burman with Burman directing, Hollowheads is possibly the strangest pg-13 movie to come out....
This episode sees the return of Michael Cook, primary host of all the shows from Retro Rocket Entertainment, & co-host to the first show I’ve ever been a part of, Videonight! On our first go-round here on WDWJW?!? Michael played it relatively safe with Hudson Hawk, a film so ‘normal’ in its pl...

Andrew invites Erich back to the show to discuss this quite disgusting but possibly classic(?) dark comedy Nothing But Trouble. this one is a fun episode.
Erich and his smooth voice joins me once again as we discuss this comedy take on the classic horror plot of folks stuck in some old backwater town with its homicidal residents. Usually it’s someone passing through, probably from the “big city”, who crosses the local yokels somehow (think Texas...

The year is 1995 and the hot thing(s) on the scene are Keanu Reeves and the newest and wildest frontier yet to be tamed: The Internet. Reeves had been making a name for himself in Hollywood as a kind of bankable maverick. He proved capable of holding his own in smaller teen films (The Night …

Jon has done it again. He’s turned the tables on me and found a film I haven’t seen in years, didn’t want to see ever again, and talked me into watching it. With a title like COOL WORLD you’d think that at least some of the film would be worth checking out, but you’d be …

A lot's been happening, but that's no reason to miss this really cool article William Ordeman wrote up about Alex Macias!
Give it a look-see!
One look at Alejandro Macias’s work reveals the border tensions we are all too familiar with in the Rio Grande Valley. The bi-cultural dichotomy is evident in the synchronicity and competitive portraits of our lives along the wall. Although these expressions represent his hometown’s environment,...
