Transmitting from Denver, Colorado, lifelong friends Paul and Mike (and guests) examine obscure, forgotten about and often overlooked films.

Based on the cult graphic novel by James O’Barr. After being brutally murdered alongside his fiancée, Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) comes back from the dead one year later. His purpose back on earth is to track down each of these lowlife, murderous garbage people and exact bloody vengeance upon them. In the background we have officer Albrecht (Ernie Hudson) investigating all these crimes while constantly being told to stay out of it. Sarah (Rochelle Davis), a child friend of the deceased couple, is also trying to piece this all together. Meanwhile, crime, led by Michael Wincott, is high, and the rain is relentless. The epic 90s soundtrack and score tie it all together. Hey, is that Candyman? RTS rock out on the rooftops as the sun sets. La-Mar, Jeremy and Collin make sure they duck out of the rain to become professional hotdoggers. Emily makes her Rabbit Troop Sucks debut just in time before Motor City burns down on Devil’s Night. It was a tragic loss to lose Brandon Lee and in such a way. For everyone who worked on this film, this must have been emotionally difficult to finish and release. Definitely something that should be considered when viewing it.

Sam Hell (Roddy Piper) brings us right back to another fallout world to survive in. We never learn much of this alt world outside of a need to breed for manpower, there are wars and there was mutation. Hell has got a rep, and when he gets duped into enlisting into Med-Tech, things get interesting. His mission: procreate “Hell style.” He is being led into the wastelands by Spangle (Sandahl Bergman) who he might create a few sparks with – but this will definitely not be influenced by her dancing. Centinella (Cec Verrell) is handy along the way and always has time for a smoke. Looney Tunes (Rory Calhoun) will be giving out fatherly wisdom, or most likely, he’ll just be shooting off some flares. But, in the darkness looms the mighty croak of Commander Toty (Brian Frank). Be warned! Or not. Dude seems to have a lot of weird things going on. RTS look for good times and possible employment in Frogtown. You think they need a couple of podcasting bartenders? Collin, La-Mar and Jeremy learn to avoid the three-snake dance. Bull (Nicolas Worth) is going to show us all the way of the chainsaw. “Shut your HOLLLLLLLLLE!”

Listen, do you think a bunch of razorblade desert robo-vacs are going to stay that way? Oh, friends, we have a lot to tell you. Joe Hendricksson (Peter Weller) is a commander who gets orders to sort of help with peace treaty negotiations. Kind of a bummer because Joe likes his G&amp;Ts and government-issued red cigarettes (which aid in fighting off radiation). This mining planet is absolute garbage. Time to slowly check it out. But, there must be two, so luckily Ace Jefferson (Andy Lauer) crash lands in town, has no more platoon and joins Joe in his wandering of the wastelands and fighting off robots. That’s handy because everything is a robot. What’s not a robot nowadays? RTS check out the local command center and all of their arcade futurism. Jeremy, La-Mar and Collin get acquainted with Jessica (Jennifer Rubin) and Jessica (Jennifer Rubin)? Wait a minute! No, no, let this play out. Are you aware there might be a way off this crazy planet? Well, you might want to take that ride. Does anyone know this guy was RoboCop?

A true overlooked gem by Disney. A bratty teen, Harry (Ethan Embry), is forced on a trip with his father to meet family friends in Africa. When he meets knowledgeable and passionate Nonnie (Reese Witherspoon), he has to rethink his too cool for school ways. As they both sneak out for the night, they team up with an African bushman, Xhabbo (Sarel Bok), who urges them, based on his prophetic “tapping,” to stay the night in a nearby cave. This saves their lives as their parents are brutally murdered by poachers who are now after them. To survive, these three, with their dog, are forced to do what is thought of as the impossible, cross the Kalahari. It will take real growth and trust to make it happen. The cinematography is alluring all throughout this epic journey and loss of innocence. RTS is slightly altered for the week, and they stock up on all the water – especially the imported Hawaiian water. Mopani (Maximilian Schell) loves it almost as much as he loves hunting down poachers! Nemo takes on some co-hosting duties ninja-style. Jeremy, Collin and La-Mar ride all of the elephants to freedom! “Wind can do it; we can do it.”

Kurt Cobain said he had a good time with this film, and it was “total anarchy.” This smells like disagreement on our end. It’s Matt Dillion’s acting debut as Richie. He teams up with his buddy Carl (Michael Eric Kramer) to complain about business expansion in their neighborhood and their well-to-do boredom. Carl starts falling for Cory (Pamela Ludwig), but Mark (Vincent Spano) can’t go for that! Officer Doberman (Harry Northup) doesn’t like going for anything – especially if it is happening at the rec center. These kids probably need a bit of guidance. It’s definitely not coming from their parents or teachers. Then, these kids go bananas! Full bananas! Drown it all out with Cheap Trick! Fun note: all of this was filmed in Colorado. There are many scenes in Aurora and Greeley. RTS will be rocking out with this killer soundtrack and avoiding the dirt bike swamp track. Jeremy and La-Mar will be at the park mingling and warming themselves over trash can fires. We lost KC 30 years ago. His art and words are still felt today. “Your scent is still here in my place of recovery.”

A bunch of rad fellas befriend one another in the Old West and attempt to shut down the corrupt nonsense happening all around. Emmett (Scott Glenn) is being harassed after being released from prison, and he’s not having it! Paden (Kevin Kline) was having it, but all of his belongings have been stolen, so he’s given up, and he has a new view on life. Jake (Kevin Costner) is ready (for anything, really), but he’s behind bars. Let’s bust him out so he can not have it pistoleer style! Mal (Danny Glover) is absolutely NOT having it! If there was an opposite of having it, Mal is living that life. Somehow, these four make it all work together. And, “It” is hunting down and putting a stop to villainy. RTS will be keeping it charming in the saloon with Stella (Linda Hunt). Collin, La-Mar and Jeremy will be at the card table with Slick (Jeff Goldblum) while ditching Hannah (Rosanna Arquette). Where did that boot knife go? Make sure to polish your sheriff’s badge when you have time. We don’t want another Cobb (Brian Dennehy) sullying everything. Not in the decent town of Silverado. Come for the promises. Stay in the grave. But, in all seriousness, this is an excellent film that deserves to be watched.

Director Joe Dante leads us into a suburban toy war. There’s more to these gizmos than just plastic. Meanwhile, Alan Abernathy (Gregory Smith) and Christy Fimple (Kristen Dunst) have so much going for them – and so much in their way. Irwin (David Cross) and Larry (Jay Mohr) have created a sentient robo-army for Gil Mars (Denis Leary), and that army is gunning for these wannabe sweethearts. Chip Hazard (Tommy Lee Jones) leads the Commando Elite against Archer (Frank Langella) and the Gorgonites –and everyone who likes the Gorgonites. Combat is inevitable! There are scooter chase scenes! There are explosions! There is terror! Where did Brad go? We say thank you and goodbye to Phil Hartman and his last live action role. RTS joins in on the chaos with the Gwendy Doll army! La-Mar, Collin and Jeremy take shelter when the CE start their home assault rampage. If you know how microchips work, then microchip! MICROCHIP!

What do you do when you catch a bad case of the Firewalker? Oh, wait! This might be for something else. This is all about gold! There is a mix of Aztec, Mayan, Egyptian and Apache gold all in one area! If that seems strange and improbable, maybe that’s the Firewalker talking! Loveable and adventurous scamps, Max Donigan (Chuck Norris) and Leo Porter (Louis Gossett Jr.) team up with Patricia Goodwin (Melody Anderson) to follow a magical dagger and her visions to that sweet, sweet cave of gold. When things seem down, Corky Taylor (John Rhys-Davies) shows up! Is this a bit of DeJa’Vu? YES! Yes it is! RTS chills with Tall Eagle (Will Sampson) and wonders if any of that promised treasure will come his way. Jeremy, Collin and La-Mar summon ancestral supernatural powers with El Coyote (Sonny Landham). Between the numerous bar stops and jungle runs, director J. Lee Thompson will get us to that gold! At least we hope.

Look at those lil’ Solar-Bs go! “There is a Legend.” Smokey Robinson helps shed some light on that legend. But, does he? Daniel (Lukas Haas) uncovers it in an old mine. Jason (Jason Patric), Terra (Jami Gertz) and the rest of the Solarbabies just want freedom – and water. And, they probably want new lives and a lot of other stuff, so they help get this legend going Solar-B style! Grock (Richard Jordan) and his evil M. Bison crew (which includes Fake Johnny) detest the sphere of Longinus. It really grates their orphanage potatoes. They want to laser it! There is a lot of Bohdai glow-fun nonetheless, and cousin Chodai makes many appearances. RTS goes pathfinding with Darstar (Adrian Pasdar) and his cool-as-hell owl. La-Mar affixes sturdy plastic flashlights to his boot-skates and zooms into the desert land. Later at night, let’s all hold hands and orb-circ - at least until the water is free for all. “There is a legend.”

It feels good (for us) to be home. Welcome to the Rocky Mountains! Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone), aka Cliff Hanger, doesn’t own decent gloves and doesn’t have his strong hands, so when he drops Hal’s (Michael Rooker) gal pal, they become a couple of grumps towards each other. He’s been working in Denver ever since, but now he’s back. When Jessie (Janine Turner) isn’t complicating the life of Dr. Joel Fleischman or brushing horses, she’s flying a rescue helicopter and trying to make things work with Gabe. All of this takes another turn when it rains thousand-dollar bills and Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) and his villainous accent create more than just avalanches. Richard Travers (Rex Linn) cannot swear his way out of any of this! RTS will be creating art with Frank (Ralph Waite) and smiling all along the way. Jeremy, Collin and La-Mar burn stacks of money to stay warm and to prove that they can. Get your drinks ready with “Damn-a-ta with a twist of impalement.” That’s right! For every utterance of “damn,” and for any impalement, drink! We hope you can HANG in there! You get it! Cliff believes in you! So does gravity!

Can you fathom 1996’s limited channel options and a lack of streaming services? RTS hosts Denver’s most epic karaoke party and dishes out some “scramby” eggs. La-Mar, Collin and Jeremy will be jousting and wearing chicken skins at Medieval Times. Tune in for this polarizing precautionary tale. Ever hear the phone ring while blow-drying your hair? Call us.

It’s Valentine’s week, and hopefully no one has broken your heart. Growing up, what are your memories of romance? Grab some Sweetarts, and let’s take a trip back. After getting dumped, highschooler Zach Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) makes a bet with Dean Sampson (Paul Walker) that he can turn introverted art student Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) into the belle of the ball. This Pygmalion transformation is epic! Once Laney gets a haircut, takes off her glasses and puts on a dress, you will see her true ultimate form! Watch the school’s cutie become “ALL THAT.” Now, nothing can stop her! Art houses, beach trips, parties, dances, etc… Is anyone doing any homework in high school? The cast list is impressive! Kevin Pollak, Anna Paquin, Kieran Culkin, Dulé Hill, Gabrielle Union, Elden Henson, Clea DuVall, Usher, and others make appearances. Matthew Lillard makes his fourth appearance in a film here! 4-peat! RTS consider joining the “dork outreach program.” La-Mar and Collin become part of a “brilliant” performance piece and then make sure the hacky sack doesn’t drop. We hope love blossoms and you melt the heart of a “falafel fairy.”

The future is closer than you think! It is a window into an alternate past. The future is a loop? The year is 1997! The future is upon us. Times are tough, friends. Getting some water and a comic will cost you epic amounts of scavenging hours – you earn very little exp. The Kid (Munro Chambers) is just trying to get by. When he meets up with Apple (Laurence Leboeuf), his world becomes interesting and a bit dreamy. Electric-blue eyes and pink hair dreamy. Too bad Zeus (Michael Ironside) and his head henchman Skeletron (Edwin Wright) are being ’97 boners about everything. Frederick (Aaron Jeffery) is effectively arm-wrestling everyone in his way, but things get complicated. Alt future/past ’97 complicated! Paths cross and forces are joined. RTS get an education on robot lore and scope out nearby scrapyards. Jeremey and La-Mar deflect buzzsaw blades and question their water source. Can TK BMX his way into your heart? YES! Grab your View-Master and listen to this masterpiece soundtrack. Turbo!

Eddie Hawkins, aka “Hudson Hawk” (Bruce Willis), is the best cat burglar in the city! In the country! In the world? But, he’s quit all that, or so he thinks. He’s just been released from prison and is already being blackmailed back into another job involving alchemy and Da Vinci art. This fella just wants a cappuccino! Luckily, his pal Tommy “Five-Tone” (Danny Aiello) is there to accompany him on his peculiar heist and to sing a little bit of Bing Crosby and other hits – when there is or isn’t time. Numerous covert and/or villainous groups want in on this hot crime! We have the eccentric Darwin (Richard E. Grant) and Minerva (Sandra Bernhard) Mayflower, The Candy Bars led by George Kaplan (James Coburn) and the Mario brothers! Who knew? Anna (Andie MacDowell) and her faith cannot fight off the magnetism she has for “Hawk.” She has her own secrets though. RTS will be wearing dusters and leaping from rooftop to rooftop within the shadows of the night. La-Mar and Collin will be hopscotching around with the Mayflowers – Jeremy has an early valentine for Minerva. Is this film part of your past? Will it be part of your future? “My name is Kit Kat. This is not a dream.”

Time to shoot your way out of this future noise. If you’re a baddy, a bullet or a psychic blast might be headed your way. RTS check out all the local haunts in Mega-City One. What kind of ice-cream do you think we can get? Are we eating it on Slo-Mo? Jeremy, Collin and La-Mar buff their cybernetic implants and barricade amongst the unstoppable gangs. You don’t need a clairvoyant to tell you that this film is pure fire. We are telling you! The judge has been judged – awesomely!

The end is nigh! Every thousand years the devil visits earth to impregnate someone, spawn the antichrist, take over the world and destroy it, etc… You know the story. But, it’s this year! So, now it’s happening! Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is depressed. His life is in shambles and is circling the drain.

RTS wade their way through delusional promises and have a good time. Jeremy and Collin grab a bite with Bobby Chicago (Kevin Pollak) and meld into others. Pour a glass of bubbly and enjoy this terminator take on supernatural forces. Make sure to have fresh biscotti if you run into the Vatican Knights. Salute!

Happy Holidays! We are back with, what is for many, a holiday classic. For others, this might have slipped past them over the years. However you found yourself to this film, you have found a holiday present. Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back causing mischief, booby-trapping houses and striving to find the perfect Christmas. He might learn, again, what the season is really all about, but this time it will be in New York after he accidentally boards the wrong plane. Conveniently, the same criminals from the original, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), have broken out of prison just in time to run into Kevin on the streets of New York. These Sticky Bandits plan on robbing a toy store. And, now that Kevin is charged with the holy spirit/pigeon magic and has a new torture house, the season is back on! Meanwhile, Kate McCallister (Catherine O’Hara) leads the family in a charge to find her son. She’s never lost her luggage though. This was written by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus! Tim Curry is in it! What else do you need? RTS will be playing at Duncan’s Toy Chest with a nice cheese pizza. La-Mar, Jeremy and Collin will be ordering three scoops of ice-cream. They’re not driving! It’s all about the nuts of the season! “Turtle doves.”
