Drive-In Double Feature Podcast

Nathan and Ryan lock in to Wedlock (1991), a gritty sci-fi action thriller where prison reform means strapping explosive collars to inmates and pairing them off in deadly “marriages.” Starring Rutger Hauer, Mimi Rogers, and Joan Chen, the film blends cyberpunk aesthetics, high-concept dystopian ideas, and early-’90s action cheese. The hosts break down the movie’s wild premise, its surprisingly prescient tech paranoia, and whether Wedlock works better as science fiction or as a pulpy B-movie thriller. It’s love, loyalty, and head-popping consequences—Drive-In style.

Nathan and Ryan log in to discuss Don’t Log Off (2025), a modern techno-horror film that taps into the paranoia of constant connectivity. Built around video calls, online identities, and the fear of what happens when the screen doesn’t go dark, the movie blends contemporary anxieties with classic genre tension. The hosts break down how well the film uses its digital setting, whether the gimmick sustains the scares, and how Don’t Log Off fits into the growing subgenre of internet-based horror. It’s timely, uneasy, and proof that sometimes the scariest thing is staying online.

Nathan and Ryan take a grim turn with Dahmer (2002), the unsettling true-crime drama starring Jeremy Renner as infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Instead of leaning into exploitation, the film opts for a cold, restrained approach, focusing on isolation, routine, and the quiet horror of unchecked violence. The hosts discuss Renner’s chilling performance, the film’s muted tone, and whether Dahmer succeeds as a character study rather than a traditional serial killer thriller. It’s an uncomfortable watch—and a very different kind of horror than the usual Drive-In fare.

Nathan and Ryan blast off into the Heisei era with Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994), one of the strangest and most divisive entries in the franchise. The hosts break down SpaceGodzilla’s wild origin story, the crystal-covered battlefields, and the introduction of fan-favorite MOGUERA. From telekinetic kaiju powers to baby Godzilla in peril, this episode explores how the film balances big ideas, uneven effects, and classic Godzilla spectacle. Is it an underrated gem or a cosmic misfire? Either way, it’s peak ’90s

Nathan and Ryan strap on their 3D glasses and dive into Saw 3D (aka Saw: The Final Chapter), the movie that promised to end the franchise… and very clearly did not. The hosts break down the gimmicky 3D gore, the returning legacy characters, and the soap-opera-level twists that push Jigsaw mythology to its absolute limit. From public traps to pink blood splatter to one last “gotcha” reveal, this episode examines whether Saw 3D works as a franchise finale or just another cruel game in a series that refused to die.
