We've had a lot of fun doing these Dirka Classic Movies episodes for the past year, but, in 2025, we have something new coming your way, so we decided to close out the DCM series with an absolute treasure featuring some killer special effects from the legendary Ray Harryhausen, 1981's CLASH OF THE TITANS. Giant scorpions, a steampunk owl, gods, men…

It's Friday the 13th again, so it's time for another SPECIAL episode. On our last Friday the 13th special we randomly drew a movie from THE BAG and we are discussing the original, classic, wonderful FRIDAY THE 13TH! For this, we invited our friend and horror movie expert Zip back to record with us and he gladly jumped at the opportunity. The origin…

This week we welcome our good friend Patch from Evasion to dive into the 1994 smash hit turd, STREET FIGHTER directed by Steven E. de Souza and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, the incomparable Raul Julia, Ming-Na Wen, Wes Studi and Kylie Minogue. When General Bison, the evil dictator of Shadaloo, takes a busload of relief workers hostage for ransom…

Jamie Lee Curtis makes a short appearance in the film she describes as "a joke", but the meat of this turd sandwich takes place back in Haddonfield where a live internet reality show called Dangertainment hosted by Busta Rhymes is being filmed in Michael’s old home. This stupid throwback to the early 2000s is widely considered the worst entry in th…

This month's installment of Dirka Classic Movies is a classic monster movie with a silly twist!

Like Super Mario Bros from July, this is one of the movies that inspired Derrick to start the podcast back in 2022, so what better time to discuss it than the day after its 29th anniversary? Johnny Lee Miller stars as a cool little hacker kid, Zero Cool, all growed up into a cool hacker teen, Crash Override. After being barred from using the intern…

Dolph Lundgren stars in this forgotten gem from the early 90s, directed by Craig R Baxley, the director of one of our favorite films so far, Stone Cold!

Espionage, clandestine activities and covert actions abound in this 80s classic that Derrick has remastered on 4K... fo…

Remember when we talked about Dutch last November? This is a lot like that but less funny and more racist because it stars Chevy Chase and Johnathan Taylor Thomas!

We kick off shitbird month with a movie about "teenagers" with attitude that gain superpowers and have to fight a galactic boogerman named Ivan Ooze with the assistance of "Ninjetti" powers bestowed upon them by a mostly naked sexy lady from another planet. Along the way they fight mini-boogermen, talking birds, skeletons, rock monsters and, of cou…

Our friend Brandon from Music Box joined us to discuss this wonderful travesty, which is one of the movies that inspired Derrick to start Bad Movies Worse People back in 2022! It's bizarre, cheesy, completely unrelated to the source material and we kinda love it. The late great Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper star in this one alongside John Leguizamo…

A beloved 80's comedy starring and directed by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, this one has been requested or suggested by people since Derrick first started talking about doing a movie podcast.
