  • Top 3 podcast!

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show episode got me hooked, and I look forward to new episodes of this or their other pod, Bring Me the Axe, every Monday. I enjoy all aspects of this podcast and listen even if I have not seen the film. They have inspired me to see films I might not have heard of otherwise like Killer Condom -which was hilarious ! Their banter is so entertaining, it makes the episode complete. Sorry Dave, I don’t have a great stew recipe to share….I’ll have to work on that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

46: Mazes & Monsters w/guest Tyler Hyde
Q: Did the panel find any redeeming value in the film despite its flaws?
The panel acknowledges historical interest in the era's moral panics and world-building around early RPGs, but largely views the film as propagandistic and influential mainly for its role in public perception rather than as quality storytelling.
46: Mazes & Monsters w/guest Tyler Hyde
Q: What was Tyler's take on how Dungeons & Dragons is portrayed in Mazes & Monsters compared to real-world gaming culture?
Tyler argues that the film sensationalizes D&D and uses it as a scapegoat for broader social anxieties about adolescence, creativity, and mental health, while gaming culture is much more nuanced and community-oriented than the movie suggests.

Frequently Asked Questions About 99 Cent Rental

What is 99 Cent Rental about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This show focuses on nostalgic, low-budget action, sci-fi, and comedy films from the 1980s and early 1990s, with a humorous, opinionated breakdown of production chaos, cultural context, and genre conventions. Episodes thread together behind-the-scenes anecdotes, campy set pieces, and the era's larger trends (video-store excess, corporate oddities, and pop culture crossovers) to celebrate—and critique—how these films reflected and shaped the decade's attitudes. A hallmark is the hosts' banter, deep film knowledge, and a penchant for connecting niche movies to broader cultural themes, making it entertaining for cult-film enthusiasts and nostalgia seekers alike.
