Now We Know

Latest Episodes:

198. Brisco County, jr Nov 23, 2025

Show notes

The jangle of spurs, the neigh of the horse...these are the sounds the American TV viewer hates. Join Kevin and Chris as they revisit this lightly sci-fi attempt to revive the Western as a force in culture, based largely on the charms of a youthful Bruce Campbell.

197. Tenebrae (1982) Nov 01, 2025

Show notes

Happy Halloween, everyone! And to celebrate the horrorful holidays, Chris looks back at a giallo slasher that he fatefully, accidentally saw the last ten minutes of when he was no older than nine, scarring him for decades: Dario Argento's TENEBRAE. Until last year, Chris didn't even know which movie containing the handful of harrowing images that haunted his youth. But now he does, and you get to join him in the torment.

196. Tron: Ares Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

Typically we just watch old things when they get a legacy sequel but this time we decided to take a look at the new Tron through the eyes of the old Trons! How does it stack up? Are any Trons actually good in the traditional sense? Or any sense? Listen and learn!

195. Finders Keepers Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

Under the looming shadow of the smash hit kids game show Double Dare, producers in 1987 bet on a new spin on the format: what if, instead of general knowledge and trivia interspersed with wacky physical challenges, we had kids circle "hidden" images in a poorly drawn doodle and then run through a model home at the behest of fading Land of the Lost star Wesley Eure? The result was Finders Keepers, which ran on Nickelodeon for some 130 episodes before being tossed into syndication.

Chris actually liked this one *more* than Double Dare as a little kid. Just how deranged was he? Very!

194. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

This week Kevin brings two episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, a high-budget, big-name show that no one watched and fewer still remember. But Kevin saw and taped every episode he could, and rewatched a few of them countless times! Will Chris see the light and preach the good word? Or will he turn away from the blinding light, like Marion and Indy himself? Listen and see and You'll Know!

193. Metal Gear Novelization (Worlds of Power) Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

With Konami's first proper post-Kojima Metal Gear game hitting shelves (Metal Gear Solid Delta, with apologies to Metal Gear Survive), Chris and show brother Evan reach into the distant past, and grasp in their hands a true piece of cursed media: "Metal Gear" the book, part of the infamous World of Power novelization series. Starring such classic characters as Commander West, Commander South, Chuck Robinson, Bob "Eagle Man" O'Reilly, and of course, the legendary soldier, the man who makes the impossible possible, Marine Captain Justin Halley, sometimes known as "Solid Snake." In a Now We Know first, we're taking you ALL THE WAY THROUGH this one, front to back. It's our first audiobook episode, albeit with some occasional grunts and chortles of dismay. Cue up the Theme of Tara and let's get going.

192. Garbage Pail Kids Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

While Chris is on assignment in France, Kevin has brought fan favorite Natasha Vinik back to watch something that neither of them had seen: the reviled Garbage Pail Kids movie, based on the hit sticker cards of the same name! It was the butt of jokes for all of Kevin's childhood, but is it as bad as advertised? Peel slowly and see!

Check out Natasha's excellent romcom pod When Harry Dumped Sally !!!

191. Suburban Commando Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

This time Kevin brings Chris and returning brother Ian a seemingly forgotten entry in the canon of the recently departed Hulk Hogan / Hollywood Hulkster, not to mention Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall: Suburban Commando! Terry plays a commando alien named Shep who's stuck in the Valley, Christopher Lloyd is the feckless architect who takes him in. It's a tale as old as time! Technical issues mean some of the audio is less than uh...hulkamaniacal, recommend listening on increased speed to minimize that.

190. The Naked Gun (1988) Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

With, you guessed it, a new legacy sequel right around the corner (starring the distressingly similarly named Liam Neeson), Kevin and Chris look back at this Leslie Nielsen spoof n' goof classic. Of course, as with all straight fastball comedies of yore, the question looms large: is it really as funny as you remembered? Is anything?

Show notes

Cheers everyone!
