You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge.
The Vid Neg crew return to the City of Angels to take on 1990's Predator 2. A
bit more discussion based than previous episodes (which means it's even less funny than usual), we tackle the racial
undertones of Pred's character design, bemoan the lack of Gary Busey madness
and Dan confesses his undying love for Bill Paxton. One character's choice of
attire enrages an IMDB reviewer and we give a shout out to a fledgling indie
film looking for you help. Go here if you're interested: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/old-times

Episode 31 - Captain America
Seen Civil War? Liked it? Good for you, just be glad you
didn't have to watch Cap's 1990 affair, the appropriately and inventively
titled Captain America. Vid Neg's latest episode sees the gang focus their
rockets' red glare on the film's misguided machine gun slaughters, Steve
Rodgers' less than heroic (criminal) tendencies as the eponymous character, and
a twenty minute sojourn in Rome - all as the world is about to end (or some
shit). Also featured, an infomercial for history's greatest speeches, and is
Sam, the conspiracy theorist-obsessed journalist, responsible for all of the
world's tragedies? By the dawn's early light, don't miss out on this one!

Episode 30 - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie
Requested by Brett Millen and the Wrestling Rewind Podcast,
the Vid Neg crew sit down to review 1995's piss poor Mighty Morphin' Power
Rangers: The Movie. Firmly in the "nostalgia buster" category, any
good memories of the classic TV show are dashed by 97 minutes of repetitive
action, dull characters and shapeless plotting. What's with all the backflips?
Why do the Rangers drag their heels when time is so clearly of the essence? And
does walking off a ledge really constitute falling to your doom? All the
hard-hitting questions answered in this mighty, morphin' episode!

Episode 29 - Barb Wire
The latest episode sees Video Negative take on Pamela Anderson's double D dud Barb Wire. After the semi-enjoyment of Kazaam, the gang are back in familiar territory with this one. Across the board in awfulness, this Casablanca clone gets wrapped up in uniformly terrible performances, exposition out the wazoo and a deceptively complicated story. Why is everything blue? Why does everything have to explained? How come even the antagonist sucks? Plus, the worst cinematic fist bump caught on film and three of the unlikeliest inductees into the Vid Neg Hall of Fame. Don't miss this one!

Back once again with the ill behaviour...
So after a long time in the wilderness, we're back on Itunes. Apologies for the massive inconvenience, no one is more glad to be back on than we are. To our patient subscribers and listeners, we want to say thank you and we hope that you continue to support the show. Please spread the word that we're back in our rightful place (i.e. not in Itunes 'New and Noteworthy' section) and be sure to check out the episodes you might've missed out on.

Episode 28 - Kazaam
Video Negative's first request episode of the new year sees them take on
Shaq's second film Kazaam! Unprepared to watch the film alone, the gang view
the film together and then give you their red hot take on this foul up of a
film. Why does everyone scream in this film? What's with people falling from
great heights and surviving? Does pizza make up for years of absenteeism, and
what the hell is the deal with the cassette tape? Confused, unintelligible,
needlessly complicated (and that's just our leading man), a hitherto unfounded
love for Shaq does blossom through the episode however, so be sure to listen
in!

Episode 27 - The Bonfire of The Vanities
New year, new Neg! The crew are back with their long awaited
[citation needed] re-recording of Brian De Palma's complete misfire of a film
The Bonfire of the Vanities. What happens when you take one of the fieriest,
most acerbic and satirical novels an completely de-fang it? What happens when
you cast Tom Hanks, one of Hollywood's most beloved faces as a total shit-heel?
You get this film. Who cajoled Bruce Willis back into a recording booth? Plus,
a run-down of Willis' most notorious on-set clashes. We fan the flames of
everything in this one, so pull up a seat, pour a scotch and get toasty!
