Episode 34 - GI Joe Issue 1
Hey gang, After an extended break, we're back. Roy and I tackled the first issue of the original Marvel Comics run of GI Joe: A Real American Hero. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time and it may end up on it's own feed eventually but for the time being, it will be hosted here. We discuss the origins of the comic series as well as go in depth on the legendary first issue.

Episode 33 - Discussing the SNES Classic
Hey gang, This week, Biggz and I discuss the SNES Classic that was released late last year. Roy is here too but doesn't have much to say on the subject since we weren't discussing Altered Beast but he throws his hat in there every now and then.

Episode 31 - Bad Reviews of Good Movies
Hey gang, The three of us were finally able to get back in the same room and ended up recording a mini episode discussing bad reviews of good movies. We each picked 5 movies that are (more or less) universally loved and read what some other people thought about them. Biggz wins for his reading of Top Gun...just sayin.

Episode 30 - James Bond Part 1
Hey gang, Chip here. Roy and Biggz were unable to join me so I called up Alex and my buddy Josh and this week we're talking Bond, James Bond. Bond has been one of my favorites for many years so I called up the two guys I know who love these films just as much as I do. Originally we have put together 9 categories that we were planning to rank but the episode ran WAYYYY longer than I had anticipated so this will be the first in what I believe will be a 3 episode series discussing the MI-6's legendary secret agent. Join me as the three of us dive in and discuss our favorite films, theme songs and villains. This looks like it will be the final episode of 2017 and we wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who has supported us and given us a chance. We hope you will continue listening as we plan to bring you more content in the new year.

Episode 29 - The Nintendo Games of 1986
Hey Gang, I wanna preface this by saying that this episode really goes off the rails. We were all pretty delirious when we recorded this and I think it shows ("it sounds like someone is taking a rake and smacking it against a garage door"). We brought Snom back to help us to relive the games that were released for the Nintendo in 1986. Join us as we take a look back at the second year of the Nintendo's life and the games that were released in 1986.

Episode 28 - The Nintendo Games of 1985
Hey gang, Roy couldn't join us this week so Biggz and I called up Snom and asked him if he wanted to join us and discuss the original 17 Nintendo Entertainment System launch titles from 1985. This is just the first in an ongoing series of episodes dedicated to the games for the NES. Join us as we take a nostalgic look back at the launch of the one of the greatest home console systems of all time.

Episode 27 - The Monster Squad
Happy Halloween Gang, On this special day, Roy suggested we re-watch the 1987 "classic", The Monster Squad. It's all here, just like you remember it: Wolfman and his nards, the horribly named "Fat Kid", the possibility of Patrick's sister having been dorked, the Van Halen diary, Scary German Guy...this thing has got it all. Join us as we journey back 30 years to the VHS rental favorite, The Monster Squad.

Episode 25 - Looking Back At Metallica's First Two Albums
Hey gang, This episode was actually recorded back at the end of July when Biggz and I found out that Roy was going to have surgery, postponing what would end up as our 80's cartoons episode. Since I was home, I decided to try and record an episode on my own. This episode takes a look back at Metallica's first two albums, Kill Em All and Ride The Lightning, which were released that week in 1983 and 1984. I don't claim to know everything about them, this is more a look back at 2 records that helped shape my youth and are still important to me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to release this or not but eventually decided why not? Here is my first solo episode, hope you enjoy it.

Episode 24 - Released This Year 1988
Hey gang we took a look back at the fantastic year that was 1988. So many great movies, records and video games were released this year, it was near impossible to narrow our lists down to one each.

Episode 23 - 80's Cartoons
Hey gang, We're in the midst of preparing for Hurricane Irma down here in Miami but is that any reason why I shouldn't get this episode posted? I think not. We decided to take a peek back at cartoons from the 1980's, an incredibly great time for animation in my opinion. We didn't necessarily cover everything but we went through some personal favorites. Hope you'll join us on this look back. Intro music by Johnnie Padrino (@_beats_n_Barbells_) Send us an email at Follow us on Instagram at @ludicrousspeedpodcast

Episode 21 - Toy Soldiers
Hey gang, Its been a while but we're back. This time, Roy wanted to go and review the 1991 Sean Astin film, Toy Soldiers, in which a group of terrorists take over a prep school because the main bad guy is obsessed with fathers. This one was a lot gorier than I remembered but did it hold up? Excessive violence, torture, Denholm Elliott, Z Cavariccis, dangling earrings, a set designed who knows his music and Sean Astin's mullet all on this episode of Ludicrous Speed.

Episode 20 - Movies That Would Make Great TV Series
Hey gang, Been a bit but we're back. We go more topic based this episode and discuss movies that we think would make great TV series. No budgets, no recasting (well, except for one of Biggz's choices), just keep going or flush out what was already on the screen. We're joined again by the always funny Adrian who brought along a different list...you'll see what I mean. Thank you for all of your support.

Episode 19 - Invasion USA
Hey gang, We're getting a little more consistent on putting up episodes...that means we've been watching a bunch of crap. Take Invasion USA for example...Alex rejoined us and it was suggestion to watch this so if you're going to blame anyone, blame him. Menaheim Golan was notorious for being a control freak and getting what he wanted and it shows in the editing of this "film". This movie has a plot for the first 45 minutes, after that, nope. Completely gone. Multiple bazooka deaths, unlimited ammo, AN INSANE AMOUNT OF ONSCREEN DEATHS, deadpan one-liners, possibly dead stuntmen, Chuck Norris on an airboat and more on this episode of Ludicrous Speed.

Episode 18 - Ricky Oh: The Story Of Ricky
Hey gang, No guest this week and we apologize for the delay but we're back with our review of Ricky Oh: The Story Of Ricky. You may remember the famous head crushing scene from The Daily Show when Craig Kilborn was the host. No? Well forget I said anything then. If you haven't seen this one, this movie is straight bonkers. Exploding heads, super human strength, a prison warden who looks like a member of GWAR and numerous limbs lost, this one is insane.

Hey gang Slight change of plans, Roy got held up at work and was unable to make the recording so instead Biggz and I sat down to discuss and defend Zelda 2: The Adventure Of Link, a game that many people look back on negatively. We loved this game growing up...does it still hold up? Listen in and find out. This episode is more a mini-episode but we'll be back with a full length next week.

Hey gang, We're back again with another movie review. This time Biggz made us watch Blank Check...yeah, Blank Check. The Disney movie...Blank Check. How well has has this aged? Glad you asked...do people still wear Cross Colours? Wait, they do? Cross Colours is still an active company? My mind is blown. Anyway, take a trip back to 1994 with us as we revisit the steaming pile that is Blank Check. Intro by Chris Perez (@felloffawaffle) Send us an email at [email protected]

Episode 15 - Nintendo 64
Hi guys, happy new year and good riddance 2016. This week were joined by our friend Gordie to take a look back at the Nintendo 64, a system which did not rank very highly on my list of classic systems. We take a look back and see if the system was actually as mediocre as I remember or if maybe it's aged well. Thanks again for all of your support. Send us an email at .

Episode 13 - The Films of 1986
Hey gang, it only took us 2 weeks to get a new episode up. Is the sky falling? Have the seas dried up? This week, me, Biggz, and Roy invited Alex to join us in taking a look back at the films of 1986. What a great year for film, loads of great releases as well as some not so great films. We discuss how anyone in 1986 could have possibly thought blackface was a good idea, some killer special effects work, the greatest volleyball scene ever filmed and a modern kung fu class.

Episode 12 - When We Were Young: Super Nintendo
Hey gang, we're back. Since Biggz and I haven't had a chance to watch a movie lately, we've come up with this idea that we're calling "When We Were Young". The idea behind this is to revisit something we enjoyed as kids and reflect back on it. To kick of this inaugural episode, we invited our friend Snom to join me, Biggz and Roy to revisit the Super Nintendo game system. 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the release of the system so we thought it was fitting to take a look back. We discuss the system itself, some of the games and go over our lists of Top 5 Best games and Top 5 Worst. Thanks again for all of your support. Send us an email at . Intro song by Chris Perez.

Episode 11 - American Ninja 2: The Confrontation
As if one just wasn't enough, we decided to go back for a second helping of American Ninja and we pulled Roy and Alex in with us. America Ninja 2...they made 5 of these movies. WHY???? If you thought the first American Ninja was unbelievable, just wait until you watch this dumpster fire. Super genetically modified ninjas, a street gang who has never seen the inside of a shower, the LOUDEST ninjas you've ever seen and Michael Dudikoff continuously finding humor in smacking this poor kid's hat down over his eyes.

Hey everyone, Roy's back to join us as we suffer through yet another Cannon film, the shitfest known as American Ninja. I swear we aren't intentionally doing this to ourselves, this is just the crap we watched when we were kids. This one came out in 1985...how doesit hold up in 2016? Glad you asked...this one is available to watch on Youtube for free. Go watch it and then join us as we discuss the racism, American Ninja Warrior obstacle course, gums (???), and Steve.

Episode 9 - Commando
Hey we're back with a new episode. We finally were able to get Adrian to join us for our look back at Commando. A personal favorite of both Biggz and myself growing up, we look back to see if it's still worth watching. Released in 1985, Commando was Arnold at this peak. He had just released Terminator and was pretty much the biggest box office draw in the world. An enormous body count, loss of limbs, illegal weapons, steel drums and some of the finest one-liners ever spoken on screen? Let's get rowdy As always, you can email us at .

This time, Biggz and I went back to the God of Splits, Jean Claude Van Damme for the Cannon "classic", Kickboxer. Bad makeup, coconuts, an AC Slater lookalike, 3 months of training packed into 40 minutes versus a lifetime of training...well, you'll see.

Bad suits, no sleep, death and resurrection and a huge body count are all packed into 79 minutes of film. Yes, I said 79 minutes. This feature length film is 79 minutes long!!!!

This film set the standards for all the nugs, chilling and grindage to come...alright, I'm lying. Biggz and I struggled with this one. Feel like killing an hour? Take a listen.
