Saddle up, time travelers. Johnny Spoiler rides the DeLorean straight into the Old West for a deep-dive review of Back to the Future Part III (1990), the underrated Western finale that closes out one of the greatest trilogies in movie history.While the world is distracted by football playoffs and Super Bowl conspiracies, Johnny stays locked in on clock towers, steam-powered time trains, and the emotional payoff Hollywood doesn’t make anymore.

Johnny Spoiler dives into Wrath of Daimajin (1966) — the brutal, emotional final entry in the legendary Japanese Daimajin trilogy, where feudal samurai drama collides with full-blown kaiju monster wrath.Before we get to giant stone gods and sulfur pits, Johnny opens with a cold open on a recurring problem: people keep comparing him to Elvis Presley — usually at the worst possible times, like buying pizza at a gas station. Is it the sideburns? The sunglasses? The curse of compliments from strangers? The comparison stops here.From there, we hit Home Video Headlines, covering:Mickey Rourke’s financial struggles and the dark side of fameWhy actors hide in day jobsClickbait movie rankings, overrated awards chatter, and why Bonanza still beats DeadwoodDirected by Kazuo Mori, Wrath of Daimajin follows a group of children on a deadly journey to rescue their enslaved fathers from a tyrannical lord forcing villagers to mine sulfur in Hell’s Valley.

Yes—this is real. And yes—it somehow works.We break down why Beastmaster 2 became a cable-TV classic (so overplayed on TBS it earned the nickname “The Beastmaster Station”), why it’s the only truly fun Beastmaster movie, and how its mix of fantasy, comedy, and 90s culture makes it endlessly rewatchable.Along the way, Johnny Spoiler digs into:Why the “time portal” is actually a parallel universeThe return of Kodo & Podo (ferret continui

There’s only one elf (it looks like a goblin), it kills with a steak knife, Santa smokes in every scene, and the movie somehow aired on broadcast TV despite profanity, nudity, and some truly cursed plot twists.Along the way, we cover:Why Christmas was once outlawed in MassachusettsEvil elf mythology & Nazi Christmas loreThe most uncomfortable mid-movie reveal you’ll ever seeWhy Dan Haggerty is way too good for this movieAnd how the ending accidentally completes the evil prophecyThis is B-movie Christmas chaos, and you kind of need to see it once — if only to believe it exists.Rati

Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into FATMAN (2020) — the unholy collision of Christmas cheer and hard-edged action starring Mel Gibson as a battle-worn Santa Claus and Walton Goggins as a vengeful hitman.In this episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast, we break down why Fatman feels like the gritty fake action movie advertised inside Scrooged, how Walton Goggins absolutely carries the film, and why this version of Santa is closer to Superman than a slasher villain.Before the review, Johnny reacts to 2025 Christmas trends including:The rise of vintage 1990s Christmas aestheticsWhy Christmas trees are getting smallerThe bizarre popularity of holiday whiskey gimmicksWhy roe > caviar at holiday parties (we said what we said)Plus:Christmas movie chart shifts (Elf, The Grinch, Home Alone)Thoughts on the Silent Night, Deadly Night remakeWhy Fatman doesn’t quite kill Santa — and why that mattersDeep lore questions: is Santa powered by goodwill… or force?If you’re building your Christmas movie watchlist, curious about

You didn't mean to feel good… but here you are.We accidentally stumble into one of the ultimate ‘90s holiday comfort movies: The Cutting Edge (1992)—the ice-cold rom-sports classic that gave us underdogs on skates, enemies-to-partners tension, and the most iconic toe pick in cinema history.Johnny breaks down how a temperamental figure-skating ice queen and a washed-up hockey bruiser accidentally melt each other’s hearts on the road to Olympic gold—despite neither actor knowing how to skate before filming, a fractured ankle mid-shoot, and sequels so bad the original stars wanted nothing to do with them.Along the way, we cover:Why The Cutting Edge is secretly one of the most relatable working-class sports movies everFactory jobs, bar work, and surviving the “two years later” grindMoira Kelly’s chaotic injury run and near-miss with A League of Their OwnWhy figure skating partnerships are way more intimate than anyone admitsA full compare-and-contrast with Blades of Glory, aka when parody cranked the Pamchenk
