HTSF Ep 81: Ahsoka Part One: Master & Apprentice

In Part One of Ahsoka, Master and Apprentice, Ahsoka Tano tracks down a star map tied to the long-missing Grand Admiral Thrawn, setting off a race against the shadowy remnants of the Empire. Meanwhile, Sabine Wren gets pulled back into Ahsoka’s orbit, reopening a master-apprentice dynamic neither of them seems fully comfortable with. As old tensions resurface and new enemies emerge, the episode leans more on mood and setup than spectacle, laying the groundwork for a story that’s clearly gearing up to get complicated fast.

Ep 215: Equalizer 2000 - RIP Richard Norton

Equalizer 2000 is a low-budget post-apocalyptic action outing that leans hard into its Mad Max-adjacent aspirations while never quite mustering the resources or narrative discipline to match them. Set in a desert wasteland where a militarized regime clashes with rebels over a powerful weapon created by Slade (the late genre film star Richard Norton), the film mostly strings together dusty chases, stock dystopian imagery, and stiff dialogue that feels engineered for functionality rather than persuasion. Its central gimmick, the titular MAN GUN, does most of the heavy lifting, often compensating for thin characterization and a plot that exists more as connective tissue between shootouts than a coherent arc.

Ep 214: Mortal Kombat (1995) - RIP Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

Mortal Kombat was the first video game movie that many people from our generation saw, which felt at least mostly faithful to the source material. Dark sorcerers, monsters, a tournament of fighters, and combat that may or may not be mortal. We've been dancing around this one for a long time, and we were planning on waiting for the upcoming 4K release, but when the idea of a month dedicated to people we lost last year came up, we decided it was time to pull the trigger and chat about Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa in his most iconic role as Shang Tsung. Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade travel to a mystical island with the help of Lord Raiden (played amazingly by Christopher Lambert) to defend Earth Realm against a coming incursion from the dark forces of Outworld. Directed by garbage king Paul WS Anderson, this one marks the start of a career featuring spotty CGI and weak scripts, and is definitely one of his best films.

Ep 213: Lee Cronin's The Mummy - MumMay!

For the final episode of MumMay, we're deviating from our usual path to go check out this brand-spankin' new film in theaters, Lee Cronin's The Mummy! This latest Mummy reboot, if you want to call it that, centers on a family whose long-lost daughter returns and quickly proves she didn’t come back right. The film leans hard into domestic horror and possession-style dread, effectively unearthing a more intimate kind of terror, but it often seems to confuse intensity with impact. While there are flashes of grim creativity and the occasional moment that almost resurrects genuine tension, the story itself tends to unravel, caught somewhere between psychological horror and spectacle.
