201. The Chipmunk Adventure

Now We Know

It's finally here! Easily the longest-awaited episode based on informal polling: The Chipmunk Adventure! Kevin brings his sibling Werky (because they would never forgive him otherwise) along with a couple of special guests and of course the steady stalwart Chris to revisit this amazing, perfect...oh...oh no...no no no don't do that.... Well... listen and see!

200. Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

Now We Know

Thanks so much, all of you, for your support and loyal listenership as we cross a milestone which once seemed absurd, our 200th episode! And to celebrate, we're going long on the Lucasfilm multimedia project that effectively ended the late-80's to mid-90's wild west era of semi-canonical Star Wars tales, and ushered in the prequel era: Shadows of the Empire, an "everything but the movie" undertaking that spawned a full-length novel, a soundtrack, a best-selling video game, and a series of comics. Join Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Darth Vader, Prince Xizor, and a cast of thousands in dropping...

198. Brisco County, jr

Now We Know

The jangle of spurs, the neigh of the horse...these are the sounds the American TV viewer hates. Join Kevin and Chris as they revisit this lightly sci-fi attempt to revive the Western as a force in culture, based largely on the charms of a youthful Bruce Campbell.

197. Tenebrae (1982)

Now We Know

Happy Halloween, everyone! And to celebrate the horrorful holidays, Chris looks back at a giallo slasher that he fatefully, accidentally saw the last ten minutes of when he was no older than nine, scarring him for decades: Dario Argento's TENEBRAE. Until last year, Chris didn't even know which movie containing the handful of harrowing images that haunted his youth. But now he does, and you get to join him in the torment.

196. Tron: Ares

Now We Know

Typically we just watch old things when they get a legacy sequel but this time we decided to take a look at the new Tron through the eyes of the old Trons! How does it stack up? Are any Trons actually good in the traditional sense? Or any sense? Listen and learn!

195. Finders Keepers

Now We Know

Under the looming shadow of the smash hit kids game show Double Dare, producers in 1987 bet on a new spin on the format: what if, instead of general knowledge and trivia interspersed with wacky physical challenges, we had kids circle “hidden” images in a poorly drawn doodle and then run through a model home at the behest of fading Land of the Lost star Wesley Eure? The result was Finders Keepers, which ran on Nickelodeon for some 130 episodes before being tossed into syndication. Chris actually liked this one *more* than Double Dare as a little kid. Just how deranged was he? Very! Watch...

194. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

Now We Know

This week Kevin brings two episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, a high-budget, big-name show that no one watched and fewer still remember. But Kevin saw and taped every episode he could, and rewatched a few of them countless times! Will Chris see the light and preach the good word? Or will he turn away from the blinding light, like Marion and Indy himself? Listen and see and You'll Know!

193. Metal Gear Novelization (Worlds of Power)

Now We Know

With Konami's first proper post-Kojima Metal Gear game hitting shelves (Metal Gear Solid Delta, with apologies to Metal Gear Survive), Chris and show brother Evan reach into the distant past, and grasp in their hands a true piece of cursed media: "Metal Gear" the book, part of the infamous World of Power novelization series. Starring such classic characters as Commander West, Commander South, Chuck Robinson, Bob "Eagle Man" O'Reilly, and of course, the legendary soldier, the man who makes the impossible possible, Marine Captain Justin Halley, sometimes known as "Solid Snake." In a Now We Know...

192. Garbage Pail Kids

Now We Know

While Chris is on assignment in France, Kevin has brought fan favorite Natasha Vinik back to watch something that neither of them had seen: the reviled Garbage Pail Kids movie, based on the hit sticker cards of the same name! It was the butt of jokes for all of Kevin's childhood, but is it as bad as advertised? Peel slowly and see! Check out Natasha's excellent romcom pod !!!

191. Suburban Commando

Now We Know

This time Kevin brings Chris and returning brother Ian a seemingly forgotten entry in the canon of the recently departed Hulk Hogan / Hollywood Hulkster, not to mention Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall: Suburban Commando! Terry plays a commando alien named Shep who's stuck in the Valley, Christopher Lloyd is the feckless architect who takes him in. It's a tale as old as time! Technical issues mean some of the audio is less than uh...hulkamaniacal, recommend listening on increased speed to minimize that.
