  • More American Graffiti (1979) Vintage Cinema Review - Old Man Orange Podcast 711
    Mar 11 2026

    Spencer and Dave are going back to talk the sequel to George Lucas' rock n' roll and hot rod hang out picture, with More American Graffiti from 1979 on the latest Vintage Cinema Review. This movie may look like a simple cash grab in for the huge success of the first film and the Star Wars boom but instead this movie really delivers film making like few others have tried. Literarily brining everybody back from the original film except Richard Dreyfuss but Harrison Ford still shows up. We got Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, Paul Le Mat, Candy Clark, Charles Martin Smith, and Mackenzie Phillips. With Bill L Norton writing and directing the story from George Lucas.


    There are four stories going on, that cut back and forth, pre Tarantino style to deliver the events of New Years Eve from 1964-1964. Each one is shot and edited together in a completely different film style to really add some artistic flair throughout. John Milner has his drag racing story, in ultra-wide screen cinema style, Toad's tale goes into his journey into the Vietnam War and is shot in 16mm full screen to come across like news footage. Then the most interesting take is Debbie's story as she is now hanging out in San Francisco during the prime hippie era and everything is in multi camera view. So, you can get anywhere from 2 to 9 different screens going on at once. Similar to the Woodstock movie and music videos as well. The last story, Steve and Laurie are shot in a normal widescreen and starts off like a hard drama with their marriage falling apart as Laurie wants to leave her motherly duties and join the workforce. No way is a conservative man like Steve going to take that with his Modesto California farm upbringing, so you see their struggle unfold as they get involved in riots and protests for the war trying to bring it all back together.


    Overall, the stories are really interesting and everything just adds to the characters we first met in the original film. The movie is still funny and is filled with wall to wall music of the mid sixties era. And even for a modest budget there is still a lot of action and explosions packed into the Vietnam war scenes. If you enjoyed the first round, this one is still worth the drive in.

  • Resident Evil 9 Requiem - Review & Discussion - Silent Evil Podcast 26
    Mar 9 2026

    Spencer and Cameron are jumping into the latest Resident Evil game, with Requiem, the 9th in the main series and really the first game since six (dis-including the remakes) that feels like a proper Resident Evil story. 7 and 8 were fun games in their spin off sort of way but just never felt like proper RE titles. More like they should have been their own games, like other Capcom titles that took the Resident Evil format and ran with it. Onimusha, Dino Crisis, and Devil May Cry to name a few. But whatever, here we are at 9 and boy what an experience it is.


    There's a parallel story line going on where you play as Grace Ashcroft who is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft (from Outbreak on PS2 for those that remember) and Leon Kennedy. A now grizzled hero from previous RE games including 2, 4, 6, and Gaiden. The cool thing is that each character has a different play style. Grace is more in the traditional survival gameplay style of limited inventory, less weapons, puzzle solving, and hiding from the big boss stalker enemies. While Leon on the other hand has seen it all and is prepared for whatever comes next, so he's locked and loaded, and ready to lay the smackdown on anything that gets in his way. Which ends up making pretty much the Resident Evil Greatest hits of gameplay from the past 30 years.


    This story has the feeling of being like Leon's next chapter after RE2. Similar to how Claire Redfield had this with Code Veronica. Leon is teamed up with Sherry Birkin on the radio (who knows what happened to Hunnigan) and is on the search for the T-Virus cure that they are both infected with. And somehow, Grace is the key to all this as left in the final messages of Oswell E. Spencer.


    Fantastic job they did on the baddies and the zombies are probably the most well-done versions in any game out there. Goes to show there is always a way to add some new dimension to an old formula. With new game plus extras and hopefully some DLC coming soon to answer some more questions like, who really is Zeno? What does Chris Redfield and BSAA have going on? And did Hunk make it out alive? All this and more will be pondered on.


    So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.

  • D & Enemy Zero - Review & Discussion - Silent Evil Podcast 25
    Mar 4 2026

    Spencer and Cameron are going with a double feature podcast episode. The FMV styled survival horror games from Kenji Eno and his company Warp. Revolutionary and mind blowing in the graphics for the time but might be archaic for the modern-day gamer. Nevertheless, these two games are really a major part of retro horror gaming history that any hardcore gamer should take a look at least once.


    First with D and originally on Panasonic 3DO back in 1995. All about a girl named Laura who goes to find her father after he went crazy on a mass killing spree at a hospital. But when she gets there, she is warped away to some castle like environment and there the mystery begins. Myst is the easiest comparison and explanation of how these games play out. The prerendered environments and the click around and find out puzzles. D predates Resident Evil 1 by just a moment, and you can see a lot of the proto scares to come.


    Next, we dive into the somewhat sequel, Enemy Zero on Sega Saturn in 1996 Japan and 97 USA. (Really just a sequel by a blonde heroine of the same name as the main character) This game's story is pretty much a Japanese remake of Ridley Scott's Alien, with a group of space travelers waking up mid trip and realizing there is an xenomorph on board creating havoc. But in E0, there's a whole bunch of aliens and to top off the madness, they are invisible... And the only way to figure out where they are is by a pulsing sonar sound system. Clever yes. Unique, definitely. A big pain in the ass. Oh, you better believe it.


    Enemy Zero is one of those games that would be like torture to complete this on original hardware. A lot of guess work with tons of trial and error but then you add in instant kills and load screens. The difficulty goes from challenging and scary to tedious and a slog. But with an emulation, save states, and a guide to see the maps and keep you on track, it is actually kind of an exotic gaming experience unlike much else. As long as your Sega Saturn emulation isn't giving you trouble. Ha ha.


    But all in all, these games were worth the experience. Back in the day, D was almost a perfect scoring game in magazines like Gamepro. Now it's something slow and guessing but still a great perspective into the past. Next, with a little longer wait for the release in the US, Enemy Zero came out with mixed reviews. Some appreciation and others, like Gamepro, giving it a 1 out of 5. Boy, the times had changed and it doesn't help that two other perfectly scored horror games came out around the same time. Little titles like Quake 2 and Resident Evil 2. But in the modern age, with the power of emulation, we think it's possible to enjoy Enemy Zero right.


    Now we are looking really forward to D2 on the Sega Dreamcast. The third game in this series. And the one that has always had my eye ever since it came out yet sadly, just never got around to buying and playing it.


    So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.

  • American Graffiti (1973) Vintage Cinema Review - Old Man Orange Podcast 710
    Mar 2 2026

    Where were you in 62?


    Well, that is where Spencer and Dave are traveling back to and indulging in the tail end of the 50s era party, before the radical era of the 60s got dark and real with the Vietnam war and all the other changes happening then. Great Americano rock n' roll and classic hot rods to boot with George Lucas' American Graffiti from 1973.


    With both of us growing up with Modesto California as our closet major city (The place this film takes place/ George Lucas' hometown) this movie has always had a major impact to the area. Even if the 50s popularity has slowly faded out in the last 15 years or so.


    This movie takes place in one night, somewhere in summer, right before the new semester and college starts up and 4 young lads need to find out who they are, where they will go, or if Modesto will suck them back in like a vortex and eat them alive. But in the meantime, each one will go out on their own adventure in the night. Whether that be cruising the streets of Modesto, picking up chick, getting involved in a gang, or trying to tell your girlfriend you want to expand your horizons before going to the hop. All being brought together by Wolfman Jack on the Radio.


    This movie is literally a time capsule, historic picture (similar to how Dazed and Confused represents the 70s of high school), that I think may even transcend Star Wars in the way future. Because this film just shows exactly what being in the 50s to 62 would be like and with that last bit of the ending, how intense the rest of the decade will become.


    Beyond this being George Lucas' 2nd movie after THX, this film stars all sorts of early days young talents like Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Candy Clark, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams, and the big one, Harrison Ford. With Francis Ford Coppola heading the producing realm because Universal just didn't believe this film would amount to much. Funny huh, at only 777,000 this movie has well grossed over $140 million bucks and that's just box office. This doesn't include merchandising, video, television, and so on. So, this has become one of the most profitable if not the number one money making film in existence. Always bet your money on George.

  • Heaven and Earth (1993) War Cinema Review - Old Man Orange Podcast 709 - Vietnam War Trilogy
    Feb 25 2026

    Spencer and Dave are finishing off Oliver Stone's Vietnam War Trilogy of films. First it was Platoon where we saw the action from the American soldiers in Vietnam. Next, we watched Born on the Fourth of July all about the soldiers coming back to the USA and living in a changed world. Now, the third film from 1993, Heaven and Earth is all about what it was like from the Vietnam side of the war.


    The real-life story of Le Ly (Hiep Thi Le), a girl growing up in a peaceful for the moment Vietnamese village, farming rice and living life as a Buddhist. But then the French come and ravish the village before there is a calm before the war. Next, it's the Viet Cong and then the Americans to the point that she has been tortured and abused by all sides, and she and her mom leave towards the city of Saigon. Here she takes up whatever jobs she can to get by before she meets an American (Tommy Lee Jones), who is a little too determent to be with her and at first seems like the right caring person to get her out of Vietnam and taken to America.


    What seems like the best course of action turns into more problems when she gets to California. But Le Ly still makes the best of it and even though there are still more hardships she, is able to still achieve great success for herself before returning back to Vietnam.


    This might be the greatest made Oliver Stone movie out there. It's a very hard drama but it's full of some of the most insightful looks at the whole Vietnam conflict. A movie that should be shown in an educational fashion. But sadly it was released against an onslaught of big movies including Shindler's List, Tombstone, Grumpy Old Men, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Batman Mask of the Phantasm just to name a few. 1993 is one of the biggest years of releases and Heaven and Earth just got swept under the rug.


    Probably after Shindler's List, people where not looking for another hard hitting, true life story a couple weeks later. And I hate to say it, but I have a feeling that the casual American audience looked at this movie like a foreign film, that they were afraid they would be reading subtitles the whole time and that wasn't going to help the cause. But this movie is beyond worth checking out. Really a masterclass story being told.

  • Mouthwashing - Review & Discussion - Silent Evil Podcast 24
    Feb 23 2026

    Spencer and Cameron are talking all about the stuck out in space, cabin fever style horror story of Mouthwashing from 2024. An indie title on Steam where it plays out more like an interactive movie, similar to games like Soma where one really gets to interact with characters and watch the story unfold into dark and humorous madness.


    It's the story about a space trucking, freight team, delivering cargo across the galaxy and at about halfway into their journey, they crash into a meteor and are left stranded in space with the captain just barely alive. So, the four remaining crew members take it to themselves to pass the time and figure a way out of there.


    The game goes back in fourth, Tarantino style, from before the crash and after the incident and weaves together the plot with twists and turns abound. Characters at first feel like they are leaning one way then the more you know they start to change your perspective.


    It's more of an experience than a standard game, but what we liked about it is how this is almost like the new way to make indie films, utilizing that light bit of interactive play mechanics that gaming has to offer. It's a fantastic combination for some really interesting ways to tell a story.


    So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.
