Is Jingle All The Way Terrifying or Harmless Holiday Fun?
Released in 1996, Jingle All The Way came out the same year as the Nintendo 64 & at the peak of the Beanie Baby & Tickle Me Elmo craze. Can this movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger & Sinbad still hold up with modern audiences or does it stumble on reality & fall flat?

Is Flash Gordon a Cinematic Masterpiece? (40th Anniversary Special)
For all of the fans of 80’s B-Movie Sci-Fi, there is one that stands out above the rest as THE Must-See Cult Classic: Flash Gordon! Since this month is its 40th Anniversary, we thought it would be fun to look back on the wonderful camp that made this movie what it is & see why it is still held in such high regard.

The Great Halloween Debate - 2020 Edition
As promised, we’re back with our biggest Horror Movie Debate, yet! Rather than go for the cliché “scary” things like masked strangers with big knifes or haunted houses, It’s time to dig down to our deepest fears with Psychological Thrillers.
Was Ernest Scared Stupid Actually Good?
Today we look back at the chaotic mess from 1991 that was Ernest Scared Stupid, as we ask ourselves…was Jim Varney secretly a comedic genius? Or did our parents just want to punish us? Find out all this & more on today’s edition of Does It Still Hold Up?
Looking Back at Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator
As a bit of a change up today, we decided to take a step back from our usual nerdy topics & look back at a revolutionary piece of cinematic history: Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator. While it may be a tall order, we have decided to use its 80th Anniversary (technically, it was last Thursday) to give our thoughts on the movie itself & our views on its place in cinematic history.
Was Firefly Ahead of Its Time? (Serenity 15th Anniversary)
Fifteen years ago, Universal Studios did the one thing that Fox proved too short-sighted to do three years earlier: let Joss Whedon be Joss Whedon. Now, we look back at the legacy of the cult classic, Serenity, & see what significance it still has in today’s cinema landscape. Was it good? Did it actually provide closure to the fans? Does it hold up against other sci-fi films now? Find out on today’s edition of Dallas Geek!
Will the Entertainment Revolution Start with the Xbox Series X??

Is Hamilton the Best Disney Musical of the Decade?
Yes, on today’s special weekend episode of Dallas Geek we’re talking Hamilton, the spectacular Broadway show that won ALL of the Tonys. The question is, now that Hamilton has been officially adopted into the Disney library, thanks to Disney+, is this the best musical Disney has given us in recent history? More importantly, is it already the best musical of the decade? Tune in to find out!
Is V for Vendetta The Perfect Anarchist Fantasy?
If there is one thing that Hollywood loves to make movies about more than superheroes, it’s stories of the people rising up against a tyrannical government. We thought it would be a good idea to take a look at the quintessential anarchist movie in modern cinema, V for Vendetta, & see if it really holds up today.
