Epic Media Adventure - The Terminator vs T2! Who you got??

This week on Epic Media Adventure (formerly Whatever This Is Called), we dive headfirst into one of the biggest debates in sci-fi action history: The Terminator vs. Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Which film truly reigns supreme? We break down the gritty, low-budget horror energy of The Terminator (1984) versus the blockbuster spectacle and emotional weight of T2 (1991). Along the way we explore what makes the franchise so enduring, why these films still define the sci-fi/action genre, and where the series could realistically go next. Should Hollywood attempt a remake, a true sequel, or an entirely new direction for the Terminator universe? It’s a mix of nostalgia, film nerd analysis, and big-picture franchise talk as we kick off a new era of the show under its new name: Epic Media Adventure. If you love classic sci-fi, 80s and 90s action movies, and deep-dive movie debates, this episode is for you.

Whatever This is Called | The Monster Squad

In this episode of Whatever This Is Called Podcast, we dive deep into The Monster Squad (1987) — the cult classic 80s horror-comedy directed by Fred Dekker and written by Shane Black. Joined by our guest Chris, we break down why The Monster Squad has become one of the most beloved 80s horror movies of all time — from Dracula’s terrifying presence to the emotional arc of Frankenstein’s Monster, and yes… “Wolfman’s got nards.” We discuss: Is The Monster Squad better than people remember? How it compares to 80s classics like The Goonies and Gremlins Whether the Squad exists in the same universe as Buffy the Vampire Slayer The practical effects and Universal Monsters legacy Plot holes, cult status, and why this movie bombed in theaters but won on VHS If you love 80s movies, cult horror films, practical monster effects, and nostalgic deep-dive movie podcasts, this episode is for you.

Season 1

Whatever This is Called | Underrated 80s Movies & TV Shows That Deserved Better

The 1980s gave us more than just the obvious classics — it also delivered bold, strange, and wildly underrated movies and TV shows that disappeared way too soon. In this episode, we revisit some forgotten gems and ask why they never found their audience. We’re talking: Johnny Dangerously (1984) – a post-Airplane! gangster spoof that leaned hard into absurdity The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd – smart, character-driven TV before its time D.A.R.Y.L. – a surprisingly emotional sci-fi kid movie everyone forgets Manimal – an all-time “only in the 80s” TV swing Tales of the Gold Monkey – pulpy adventure TV that deserved a longer run If you love cult classics, short-lived TV experiments, and pop-culture deep cuts, this episode is for you.
