    The Fifth Element
    Dante’s Peak
    BAPS
    Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
    Anaconda
    Kull the Conqueror
    The Peacemaker
    U-Turn
    Playing God
    Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
    Mousehunt

    • If I had the shows, Terry, they would already be up. I hope one day this will happen!

      • Me too which is why it is just frustrating because I’m just such a huge Siskel & Ebert fan

  • This year is missing 19 out of 52 episodes according to thetvdb. The boys did not miss a week this year and aside from the specials in January, they were all regular movie review episodes.

    • Thanks, Jordan! I am checking on it now! I will give you credit for the find when I post it in two weeks!

      • I decided to take that video Jordan sent the link on and recreate it! Edited and remastered the audio. It’s on my BitChute channel now. Larry, you can Al enhanced that video, too and give credit to both him and yours truly.
