Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re stepping into the underground fight scene with Best of the Best 2 (1993), directed by Robert Radler. Eric Roberts, Philip Rhee, and Christopher Penn return, but this time the sports drama takes a hard turn into revenge territory, with a no-rules tournament and a brutal new villain to face.

We talk about the shift in tone, the intense fight scenes, and the sequel’s more violent edge. From missing characters to surprise turns, Best of the Best 2 separates itself from the original while still keeping a few familiar threads. Tune in as we break down how well it holds up and if it earns a place among early 90s action favourites.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re hopping back into the chaos with Critters 2: The Main Course (1988), directed by Mick Garris. Set two years after the original, the story returns to Grover’s Bend just in time for Easter, as a batch of leftover critter eggs hatches and unleashes another round of small-scale terror.

We talk returning cast members, the film’s mix of horror and comedy, and the creative effects work from the Chiodo Brothers. With a surprisingly high body count for a PG-13 film and some memorable moments of mayhem, we look at how this sequel builds on the first and where it stands in the franchise. Tune in to hear our take on this oddball creature feature.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into the infamous cult oddity Troll 2 (1990), directed by Claudio Fragasso. Despite the title, there are no trolls—just vegetarian goblins, a ghostly grandpa, and a kid trying to stop his family from becoming plant food in the town of Nilbog. Yes, it’s just “goblin” spelled backward.

We break down the awkward dialogue, head-scratching plot, and legendary moments that helped Troll 2 earn its “so bad it’s good” status. From “They’re eating her!” to pissing on hospitality, it’s a mess that somehow keeps you watching. Tune in as we talk about what makes this film unforgettable—for better or worse.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re plunging into Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth (1991), directed by Charles Band. Picking up six years after the original, we find Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) facing a time-twisting mess—killer Trancers, corrupt future cops, and yes, two wives from different timelines. It’s as delightfully messy as it sounds.

We talk familiar cast and new faces, the sequel’s action-packed beats, and its tangled plot that tries to balance time travel and humor. There’s charm, camp, and some genuinely entertaining sequences—but does Trancers II deliver a solid follow-up, or does it get lost in its own time loops? Tune in to find out!

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re trudging through the murky waters of Gorgo (1961), a British kaiju film directed by Eugène Lourié. The story follows a young sea monster captured by treasure hunters and hauled to London for profit, only for its towering mother to come crashing through the city to get it back. Sound familiar? It should.

We break down the film’s clear nods to Godzilla, its flat characters, and the repetitive pacing that drags despite the short runtime. Still, we take a look at the practical effects, the surprisingly strong visuals for the time, and the solid restoration. So does Gorgo deserve a place in the kaiju lineup, or is it just a second-rate monster mash? Tune in and hear what we think.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re taking a wild ride through Razorback (1984), an Australian horror film directed by Russell Mulcahy. It opens with a giant wild boar crashing through a house and only gets weirder from there. The story follows a man out for answers after his fiancée, an American wildlife reporter, is killed by the beast, dragging him into a world of local madness and outback horror.

We talk about the film’s standout visuals, eerie sound design, and how it draws comparisons to Jaws while carving out its own identity. With a surreal tone and strong atmosphere, Razorback blends creature feature thrills with a grim take on isolation and nature. Tune in to hear our thoughts on where this one lands in the cult horror landscape.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into the absurd world of Lieutenant Jangles (2018), an Australian send-up of 1980s cop movies that’s loud, crude, and completely over-the-top. Matt Dickey stars as the foul-mouthed Lieutenant Jangles, who blasts his way through crime, chaos, and more than a few groin shots in a film packed with low-budget mayhem and nonstop vulgarity.

We take a look at the film’s commitment to juvenile humour, its action-packed set pieces, and the odd charm that keeps it moving. With a constant stream of dick jokes and shameless nods to genre clichés, Lieutenant Jangles leans hard into parody. Tune in as we break down whether this one earns its cult status or just revels in the chaos.

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re blasting through Turbo Kid (2015), a post-apocalyptic action-adventure directed by the trio known as RKSS. Set in the wastelands of 1997, the film follows a comic book-obsessed teen who takes on the identity of his favourite hero to survive brutal warlords, deadly traps, and buckets of gore, all while riding a BMX bike.

We dive into the film’s lo-fi charm, practical effects, and heavy 80s influence. With solid performances from Munro Chambers, Laurence Leboeuf, and Michael Ironside, Turbo Kid mixes over-the-top violence with unexpected heart. Tune in as we break down the retro style, wasteland chaos, and how this Canadian cult hit holds up.
