Guyver: Dark Hero (1994) with Nerds, Geeks, and the Kitchen Sink

Dead Formats is joined by DK and Chris from Nerds, Geeks, and the Kitchen Sink [https://open.spotify.com/show/2XLmgPZVTSacX5h6YqDtO7?si=d4b858aea0dc4d21] to discuss Guyver: Dark Hero (1994), the often overlooked direct-to-video sequel to the Mark Hamill cult classic, The Guyver (1991). This film has an amazing practical effects pedigree, ridiculous fight choreography, and stars Solid Snake himself, David Hayter, in his first film role. American tokusatsu at its finest!    Follow DK and Chris: * Instagram: Nerds, Geeks, and the Kitchen Sink [https://www.instagram.com/nerdsgeeksandthekitchensink/] * Bandcamp: Letters to Dracula [https://letterstodracula.bandcamp.com/album/fang-mail]   Follow Dead Formats: Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/deadformats.bsky.social] // Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/deadformatspod/] // Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/DeadFormats/] // Discord [https://discord.gg/CJWWRQUmEJ]

The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971) with Brantley and George

Chris is joined by Brantley from Horror Drafts [https://open.spotify.com/show/0ndDlTrdut5opsISpECHmf] and George from The Best Little Horror House in Philly [https://open.spotify.com/show/59YruUjMuoq1YFR4DtK8G0] to discuss the 1971 Oscar-winning, apocalyptic horror, pseudo-nature documentary The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971). They discuss the ethics of documentary filmmaking, how the Academy often gets things wrong when it comes to documentary features, and the current state of docs as an art form. Is The Hellstrom Chronicle really even a documentary? Is it an outright comedy or a subversive commentary on the power of rhetoric and the dangers of following charismatic personalities? Which bug is the grossest? One thing's for sure, this episode is "throbbing with obese sexuality" and you won't want to miss it!   Follow Brantley and George: * Bluesky: Brantley [https://bsky.app/profile/brantleypalmer.bsky.social] * Instagram: Brantley [https://www.instagram.com/brantley.palmer/] // Contenders Doc [https://www.instagram.com/contendersdoc/] // George [https://www.instagram.com/littlehorrorphl/] * Letterboxd: Brantley [https://letterboxd.com/brantleypalmer/] // George [https://letterboxd.com/littlehorrorphl/]   Follow Dead Formats: Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/deadformats.bsky.social] // Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/deadformatspod/] // Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/DeadFormats/] // Discord [https://discord.gg/CJWWRQUmEJ]   Supplemental Material: * Contenders (2026) Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ePdbK5KXLA] * Hairy Man Road's review of Capturing Bigfoot [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBuWLe1MC_A] * Roger Ebert's review of The Hellstrom Chronicle [https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-hellstrom-chronicle-1971] * Our Drawings (2023) [https://youtu.be/G1LhdhQEKtg?si=kU2LrImkdp2a01zK] * Dootle Dots S1E1 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24khiNuF9u0]
