One of my favourite steel book designs ever! Starship Troopers (4K Bluray).
MONSTERS ASSEMBLE! In 'Destroy All Monsters' various Kaiju from across the Toho cinematic universe get together in this cross-over film which was meant to be Godzilla's last movie. For a full video retrospective/review, click the bio link or below: youtu.be/_4dt67HsIIc
"Ker-ching!" The Star Wars figures were a huge hit for Kenner. Sadly that wasn't good for Mattel who turned down the offer to make them. Mattel's answer? ....The Masters Of The Universe! For a video retrospective on the 1987 FLOP movie, check out: youtu.be/KiLH5rASJA0
Settling down with Clementine to stick a film on. My cat *loves* a 4K Blu-Ray classic! ...She's got taste.
Spend 35 seconds of your time watching this - if it floats ya boat then you should seriously consider subscribing to the PopSmash Youtube channel! www.youtube.com/@PopSmashCul...
The 1967 film 'Son of Godzilla' is best known for having some of the least popular Godzilla suits of the entire franchise. Check out my retrospective/review here: youtu.be/FsBU30Jeglo
Ooooof! Godzilla takes one to the face in 'Invasion of Astromonster'! A look at this classic Godzilla film: youtu.be/0dRh9mR0TVk
Thank you too all who have subscribed to my Youtube channel dedicated to reviewing pop-culture gems - usually Kaiju films, B-movies, & genre titles. I know 300 isn't a lot for a Youtube channel, but I'm honestly humbled that some people take the time to watch them. www.youtube.com/@PopSmashCul...
In my retrospective of "28 Days Later" I look at the camera choice (1990s digital camera) and my concerns over a 4K release. It may be lo-res and and dirty - but it's beautiful BECAUSE of that! In Boyle we trust! My retrospective here: youtu.be/ixFb-Svesm4
Carrie Fisher features "The Time Guardian" - in my retrospective I point out some of the obvious Star Wars-esque things I noticed, but I bet there's more! My video here: youtu.be/MSbnDPMICUs
A shot of Kong's "milky eyes" in King Kong vs Godzilla... My review/retrospective here: youtu.be/M39CL13seiM
Some screenshots of the time travelling robot menaces from 'The Time Guardian' - an entire city that travels through time is plagued by these cyborg baddies. For more info, check out my retrospective/review: youtu.be/MSbnDPMICUs
May the 4th, blah blah blah... Here's a Sci-Fi film with Carrie Fisher which isn't Star Wars, though it is clearly influenced by it... youtu.be/MSbnDPMICUs?...
Here's a video retrospective on "Robot Jox", a film which manages some surprisingly great visual effects youtu.be/I-VwhrVaE2g
A few scenes from "Robot Jox" - a film where international disputes are not dealt with via diplomacy, instead the superpowers rely on one-on-one giant robot battles! My video on Robot Jox here: youtu.be/I-VwhrVaE2g?...
Arena (1989) the space fight tournament film, shares some talent with Star Trek (Deep Space 9 and Voyager).... youtu.be/9db2M-fgV7c
Some more screens from Arena (1989). The improved Blu-ray picture resolution doesn't do the miniature sets and some of the costumes any favours. But the alien creatures look EVEN MORE impressive! A video retrospective: youtu.be/9db2M-fgV7c
Some of the creatures/aliens from Arena (1989). A budget film with some pretty impressive creature creations... youtu.be/9db2M-fgV7c?...
The futuristic Vehicle in "Star Slammer", is a slightly modified prop from the TV series "Logan's Run".... My video review of Star Slammer is here: youtu.be/PMZf1mUCH1g
This costume features in Star Slammer - it was one of *many* things borrowed from other productions. It's actually a great costume and I'm glad it was repurposed. The film might be a bit poor, but Ross Hagan was great to watch as Captain Bantor. (youtu.be/PMZf1mUCH1g)
Join me for a retrospective on the greatest egg-based game franchise ever.... Dizzy - the 8-bit hero! youtu.be/8qq6UK5qUBU?...
"2 things I love to do. Fight & kiss boys!" Hollywood Montrose, though played by a straight actor, is a Gay character who transcends the usual lazy 80s stereotypes and becomes a gay-action hero. youtu.be/e5Obmj1cxqA?...
Lifeforce (1985) is a sci-fi/vampire movie with some amazing practical effects. It often appears in lists of must-watch B-Movies. This video is a look at the film and explains why this is *NOT* a B-Movie. [Note: Age-restricted video] youtu.be/8k7_hcNFzdA
Maybe not iconic - but it's something viewers of Life Force (1985) tend to remember!
