Episode 33: Time Bandits

This week, the boys of Top Shelf Video go on an adventure to find what has been missing in adventure movies and turn to their childhood foundational film, Time Bandits. Terry Gilliam makes a true childhood adventure movie, even if it was ahead of its time and not something most current generation parents would allow their children to watch. Will the time map lead this film to the top shelf, or will it get lost in a time portal, lost forever?

Film to Table (Side Cast) Episode 21: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

Film to Table is back for Season 3, and we kick off with a hidden gem of 2026, Gore Verbinski's sci-fi film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. Set in a fictional (how fictional is sadly very questionable) time period, sets off Denise and Eli to go off on their thoughts on what this movie is wanting to say. With a bearded Sam Rockwell and a rag tag team on a mission to save the world this sci-fi film is something we highly recommend for all cinephiles.  This podcast has some spoilers, but we have a callout before then, so listener discretion is advised  Top Shelf Video – Reliving the Video Store Era with Gen X [https://topshelfvideo.com/] Please rate and review us!
