Arcade (1993)

Author: Geekscape September 1, 2017 Duration: 42:52
Sometimes, it's hard to remember how far CGI has come, what with modern horror movies replacing real blood with stupid looking CGI blood, adding pointless, unscary scretchfaced ghosts, and making things like The Emoji Movie. But then you watch something like Arcade from 1993 and remember that things were once much, much worse. This direct-to-video gem is basically The Lawnmower Man with less Jeff Fahey and fuckmonkeys, and more Seth Green and the kid from A Christmas Story. We try to salvage this idiotic plot by having Matt's brother Brian on to bring the sanity, but instead steamroll him like the bad guy in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (which also had way better CGI than Arcade). Have we mentioned that this movie's special effects are garbage? Get your VR gear and suit up with us for this week's episode of Horror Movie Night! Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever have that feeling of standing in a video store aisle, staring at a box with wild artwork, hoping you’re about to discover a hidden gem? That’s the spirit Horror Movie Night channels every episode. Hosts Matt, Scott, and Kyle from Geekscape are your guides through the highs and lows of the genre, from forgotten oddities to beloved classics. They fully commit to the gamble, so you get the genuine excitement of a surprising find like *American Gothic* right alongside the shared misery of a baffling flop like *Terror Toons*. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on friends passionately debating a movie they just rented, capturing that specific blend of nostalgia and snark. Listening to this podcast feels like a weekly hangout where the conversation is fueled by cinematic scares and genuine laughs. You’ll hear their immediate reactions, the tangents, and the camaraderie that turns even the most disappointing film into an entertaining experience. It’s a comedy and film discussion wrapped in the worn-out VHS tape of memory, perfect for anyone who misses the ritual of picking a movie based solely on its cover.
