1. Jurassic Park (This Is Somehow Underrated) | Glaring Admissions
Introducing Glaring Admissions, a show dedicated to watching/discussing iconic, famous movies that we've somehow missed out on! Join us on our inaugural episode as we sit down and discuss Steven Speilberg's iconic 1993 action/suspense/horror classic, Jurassic Park! It's spawned *a lot* of sequels, was worked on concurrently with Schindler's List and, surprise surprise, affirms that nobody can really do it quite as well as Spielberg can.

99. Rad (Thunder in Your Heart is the greatest song of all time)
Check out the full-video edit of this episode, complete with cutaways, on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCscDbMTovs2Zww6by8HSDMg
1986's BMX, underdog, feel-good, teen, coming of age cult movie "Rad" is coming back to theaters this Thursday for a holiday called "Rad day" and, in preparation for it, I decided to sit down with my good friend/podcast co-host Raekwon to give the movie a run down. The film follows Cru, a paperboy/diner employee who loves BMXing as he prepares for a race against the nations best BMX racers. Along the way, he meets Christian (Lori Loughlin), a biker for the Mongoose team who quickly falls in love with him. He also butts heads with Ms. Rocky Balboa herself, Talia Shire, and Duke Best (who might be the craziest person ever). It's a movie.

98. Wild Wild West (Damn)
Media Obscura's back and, on this week's episode, we're tackling Wild Wild (ficka) Wild Wild West, the 1999 Will Smith Box Office bomb!
Join Nick, Sierra & Raekwon as they reminisce about this (not so) classic 90s action comedy! It's a film they all grew up with and have some nostalgia for it, so you'll be sure to hear the good, bad and ugly about this cowboy dud.
Also, if you're that one listener Raekwon accidentally was mean to... he's sorry!

81. Cyborg Cop II (Don't Humor Nick)
On this week's Media Obscura, the boyz check out 1994's disappointing sequel, Cyborg Boy II. This one still doesn't have cyborg cops/robocops, still has more kungfu than you'd expect from these movies, and is still very low budget. It's... a time. I wouldn't say it's a good time, but it's a time.

Don't let go (of trying to capitalize on the success of others), am I right? On this weeks Media Obscura, the gang checks out 2010s horrid mockbuster, Titanic II!
Who would've thought a triple-threating Van Dyke could do an awful job ripping off one of James Cameron's best films? Especially with a $500,000 budget!

This week, to celebrate the recently passed Joel Schumacher, Team Obscura checks out and discusses 1997's "Batman and Robin," a colorful box office bomb with a cast that features George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Uma Thurman. While hated at the time, this movie has found a bit of a cult following over the years and is honestly a lot of fun!

72. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures (New Raekwon, Who Dis?)
Woah! Team Obscura is chatting about the OTHER Bill and Ted TV adaptation to celebrate the trailer to Bill and Ted Face the Music!
Todays episode is on the very short-lived 1992 sitcom adaptation of the 1991 Saturday cartoon adaptation of the first Bill and Ted movie, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It features none of the movie's cast, has little charm, and is all-around weak.

71. Bride of the Monster (A Very Muppets Horror B-Movie)
Team Obscura checks out Bride of the Monster, Ed Wood's 1955 tribute to classic horror movies!

He's a bit like Igor, but played by a Swedish Pro Wrestler.

69. Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (Wanna Cyber?) w/Jackson
Team Obscura (with special guest Jackson) come together to revisit the Lawnmower Man franchise, inspired by the Stephen King story, and find a convoluted and bloated story about cyberspace, virtual reality, and the internet... Oh, and it's a bad knock-off of the Matrix that inspired a pretty great episode of Community? Yeah, sure.
May 24, 202001:19:12
68. Cyborg Cop (Robocop Lite)
Released in 1993, Cyborg Cop follows Jack Ryan on a mission to find out what happened to his DEA agent brother on a mission in the Caribbean. Along the way, he fights cyborgs and cops, which only sorta explains why this movie is called Cyborg Cop. We can only assume that the other reason is that the name Robocop was already taken and that this movie wanted to ride on the coat-tails of the third installment in that series.
May 17, 202001:51:42
67. Soul Man (Reaganomics)
... Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. This is... Wow. This is... a thing? Team Obscura checks out the unnecessarily tone deaf 1986 teen comedy "Soul Man," a story about a student donning blackface in order to defraud Harvard out of a minority scholarship. It's... well, it's terrible.

61. The Running Man (Family Feudalism)
Nick and Mike return... WITH VIDEO! On this weeks episode, they check out the 1987 movie "The Running Man," which was inspired by the Stephen King novel of the same name. The movie follows Arnold Schwarzenegger as he plays a contestant on a murderous game show that's hosted by Richard Dawson (of Family Feud fame). Oh, and this episode is also available on YouTube with full video!
Mar 29, 202001:33:05
60. Super Mario Bros: The Movie (Plumbing and the Dank Gaming PC)
Nick and Mike bring in the sixtieth episode of The Media Obscura Podcast by checking out the critically maligned Super Mario Bros movie! It's a movie about plumbers that... plumb. And also visit dystopian realities that are nothing like the source material from their iconic video game series! It's... a thing.
Mar 22, 202001:41:52
59. King Kong (Imperialism, brought to you by...)
Nick and Mike take a dive through time and check out 1933's cinema hallmark, King Kong on this weeks Media Obscura! They also share some trivia about Donkey Kong, stuff the episode with a bunch of fake ad-reads in a last-ditch effort to generate some revenue for the show, and plug The Media Obscura Redbubble page! Yep... Merch! Oh, they also weigh the logistics of a steak battle, and ponder Godzilla vs King Kong for a bit too.
