Knock back a revolting smoothie and shout at the devil because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are setting the world ablaze with a timely rewatch of Arnold's Y2K-influenced horror actioner End of Days! Directed by journeyman extraordinaire Peter Hyams, this supernatural thriller was plagued with terrible reviews back in the fall of 1999. But has the film aged better than expected?

Hop in an elevator and punch out a Star Wars-y robot because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are plugging back in to the world of Total Recall, this time with the 2012 remake starring Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale.

Dick's short story proved controversial with film fans at the time of its release, and has seemingly been almost completely forgotten since. But is it worth revisiting?

Hail a robo-cab and embark on your dream vacation because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are rocketing off to Mars with Paul Verhoeven's 1990 summer blockbuster Total Recall.
