⏮️ REWIND 🚧

After revisiting Nothing But Trouble (1991), Adrian and Al have reached a verdict: This one earns a Rewind!

Is it bizarre? Completely.
Is it an unhinged, chaotic, and wildly original swing that somehow gets funnier with age? Absolutely.

From the strange world of Vulcanvania to the unforgettable hilarity of Bobo and L’il Debbull, this is Dan Aykroyd fully unleashed. Packed with jaw-dropping production design, committed performances, and endlessly quotable moments, it’s the kind of movie that shouldn’t work… but somehow does.

It’s weird. It’s messy. It’s unlike anything else. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

🎙️ Ep: After-School SpeciAL: Nothing But Trouble

Adrian and Al lose their minds as they veer off the beaten path in their mutual admiration for Dan Aykroyd’s singular and eccentric comedy Nothing But Trouble (1991). While the film is universally maligned, the brothers' unrepentant love in their memories of the film is tested with the rewatch. Have oddities like Bobo and L’il Debbull aged well for them? Is the film still cinema magic, or have their memories betrayed them?

🚧 Episode 4 is coming… (SEASON FINALE for After-School SpeciAL)

After-School SpeciAL takes a detour straight into madness with:
Nothing But Trouble (1991)

Dan Aykroyd. Chevy Chase. Demi Moore. John Candy. One of the strangest studio films ever unleashed. A nightmare backroad, a grotesque judge, and a movie that feels like a fever dream you definitely rented but barely understood.

Is this misunderstood cult chaos or a cinematic trainwreck best left in the junkyard?

📼 REWIND or FAST FORWARD?
Adrian and Al close out the semester by diving headfirst into this bizarre 90s oddity.

⏮️ REWIND 🔒

After revisiting Fortress (1985), Adrian and Al have reached a verdict: This one earns a Rewind!

Is it disturbing? Absolutely.
Is it surprisingly grounded, thrilling, and weirdly compelling in all the right ways? Very much so.

From the eerily masked kidnappers to the kids’ performances that somehow balance terror and innocence, the film fully commits to its bleak, survivalist premise. Pair that with the relentless tension of the Australian outback setting, and decades later it still hits hard, especially for anyone who grew up accidentally watching VHS tapes that were way too intense for kids.

🎙️ Ep: After-School SpeciAL: Fortress

Adrian and Al are back to reminisce over Fortress (1985), the Ozploitation thriller about kidnappers in Halloween masks and a class of outback schoolchildren, a film with enough violence they certainly shouldn’t have seen it as young as they did. But what will Adrian and Al think now of these children and their showdown with their captors? How will they now see that screen violence and, more importantly, what will they make of those kids constantly singing?

🔒 Episode 3 is coming…

After-School SpeciAL ventures into the Australian outback with: Fortress (1985)

A group of students. Masked kidnappers. The Australian wilderness. This forgotten 80s thriller aired on cable and haunted more than a few childhood memories — Does it still hold up, or should it stay buried in the bush?

⏩ FAST-FORWARD 🧛🏾‍♂️

After revisiting Vampire in Brooklyn (1995), Adrian and Al have reached a verdict: This one earns a Fast-Forward.

Is it an interesting swing? Absolutely.
Does it ever fully figure out what kind of movie it wants to be? Not quite.

From Eddie Murphy playing it surprisingly restrained, and occasionally buried under heavy prosthetics, to a tonal tug of war between comedy and straight horror, the film feels caught between worlds. You can see flashes of something sharper, especially with Wes Craven at the helm, but it never quite locks into a rhythm.

It is not without charm, and it is definitely a fascinating 90s studio curio. But for us, the bite just does not sink in.

🎙️ Ep: After-School SpeciAL: Vampire in Brooklyn

Adrian and his brother Al revisit Wes Craven’s Vampire in Brooklyn (1995), the horror-comedy where the only thing more mysterious than the creatures of the night is a film confused about what it wants to be. Adrian and Al consider whether the film’s tone and high points of character comedy and horror set pieces have aged well, or if instead the film should be buried with a stake through its heart.

🧛🏽‍♂️ Episode 2 is coming…

After-School SpeciAL is keeping the fangs out and sinking its teeth into: Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)

Eddie Murphy. Wes Craven. A horror-comedy rental that felt unavoidable in the VHS era — but does it still have a bite, or does it crumble to dust on The Rewatch?

⏮️ REWIND 🧛‍♂️

After revisiting Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995), Adrian and Al have reached a verdict: Mel Brooks’s Gothic spoof earns a Rewind!

Is it subtle? Absolutely not.
Is it committed, quotable, and proudly dumb in all the right ways? Very much so.

From Peter MacNicol’s gloriously unhinged yet “perfectly normal” Renfield to Steven Weber’s straight-faced Jonathan Harker, the cast fully commits to the bit. Paired with Brooks’s cartoonishly amplified love of classic horror imagery, it still works for anyone on its wavelength, especially those raised on VHS rentals and broad studio comedies that went for it.
