Orochi, the Eight-Headed Dragon 1994
Maybe the most insane movie we’ve ever covered on Podzilla? This is seriously one to check out.

Dirty Dancing 1987
I dream of being able to air guitar as effortlessly as Swayze does it.
What better way to finish off a birthday than Dirty Dancing with the fam?

The Boogeyman 2023
men will literally fight boogeymen and burn their houses down before going to therapy

St. Elmo's Fire 1985
Manages to capture the craziness of life better than anything I’ve ever seen before.

American Splendor 2003
Loved the intercuts with reality and the comic book style! So surprising that nothing else has tried to copy this yet. Truly a one-of-a-kind flick.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Takes everything great about the first Spider-Verse flick and dials it up to 11. Literally melted into a puddle right there in the cinema seat with what my eyes were witnessing.

The Night of the Hunter 1955
A wild mix of genres that somehow all exist together perfectly. Literally had my jaw to the floor for the whole runtime too, cannot believe how great this thing looks.

The Little Mermaid 2023
Charming and fun, albeit still pretty unnecessary.
Actually really liked a couple of the new songs though, I mean Wild Uncharted Waters?! Absolute bop.
