The Passion of the Christ (2004)
We hope you all had a safe and relaxing holiday…because it’s time to put on your church clothes and listen to the sermon of Apocalypse Video, as we bend our knee to the angry letters of the religious community and start a whole new monthly promotion: Jesusary. A month filled with nothing but Jesus-related content, ranging from his brutal crucifixion, to that one time that Willem Dafoe played him a

Cool Runnings (1993)
Well, it’s December, and the holidays are officially upon us. Am I excited, you ask? Well…no. To be honest, this time of year always gets me nervous. All the pressure to deliver on a fun holiday themed episode after the combined promotions of Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest and Shocktober?!
