Movies from the '90s

Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting - it's Top Five.

We've tripped through the '70s, went radical with the '80s, and now it's time to look at our favorite movies from the '90s!

six-gun gorilla — **Dueling Review: Six-Gun Gorilla #1** Jun 12, 2013
Show notes

It's a sci-fi western with a giant primate in it!

**SIX-GUN GORILLA #1**
**Writer: Simon Spurrier**
**Artist: Jeff Stokely**
**Publisher: BOOM! Studios**
**Cover Price: $3.99**
Welcome to "the Blister" -- a bizarre other-world colonized by humans sometime in the 22nd century, which quickly became a hotly-contested source of fertile land and natural resources long ago exhausted on Earth. In this new frontier, a rogue gunslinger and his companion wander across a wilderness in the grips of a civil war, encountering lawlessness, natives, and perversions of civilization in a world at the crossroads between the past and the future. The fact that said gunslinger is a bio-surgically modified silverback gorilla toting a pair of enormous revolvers is neither here nor there.

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
Though The Doctor has been through a number of incarnations since the television show debuted 50 years ago, the announcement that Matt Smith is stepping down, once again has the Intardwebz in a kerfuffle. But the prospect of the How and Why and What Happens Next should be a bigger draw than that bemoan the fact that change is occurring…right?
