Screen Refresh: The Podcast

03/06/2025

This month, the Screen Refresh crew walks the dystopian streets of Old Detroit, where crime is rampant, capitalism is unchecked, and a chrome-plated cop has been programed to shoot all s*x offenders in the dick! You guessed it, we're watching Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi action classic, ROBOCOP!

Would justice be dispensed more efficiently if your local police force was 50% man, 50% machine, and 100% emotionally unavailable? How many bullets can one man absorb before it qualifies as "a rough first day on the job”? Could a flight of stairs be humanity’s saving grace when the robots finally take over?

Drop your weapon, prepare for trouble, and join Tim, Nick, and Dean as they answer these burning questions and more. Dead or alive, you’re coming with us on Screen Refresh!

The Screen Refresh Crew is back with the most high-flying, two-fisted hero to ever punch a N**i (okay top 3 at least) as they launch from the page to the skies. So, join Tim, Nick, Dean, and David as they travel back to Los Angeles 1938 to bring you spy plots, giant henchmen, and technology that is less impressive with each passing year in THE ROCKETEER!

There will be no more monkeying around here at Screen Refresh HQ because the crew is bringing you an episode that we think you'll really go ape over.
So get ready to go bananas because it's time for RULE OF THIRDS - APES IN FILM!

04/03/2025

The Screen Refresh Crew get ready for a trip with the Hong Kong Cavaliers as they revisit THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION!
If you're thinking, "But I have no idea what any of that means!" Don't worry, it'll all be explained (the title that is, and not a detail more). So, strap into your rocket car and get ready to blow through at least 7 dimensions, and remember, no matter where you go, there you are on SCREEN REFRESH!

If you've played video games, you've had moments that have set the bar for every game since. Whether it's a frustrating, control-throwing stealth section or the rush of finally beating that boss; there are gaming memories that bring back the excitement of why we love and play. This month on Rule Of Thirds, the Screen Refresh Crew is tapping back into their childhoods to bring you their MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN GAMING!

February is upon us! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's a time to celebrate love and marriage. Naturally, the only marriage we'll be celebrating is of film director John McTiernan (Die Hard, Predator) to movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger (Twins, Universal Studios Orlando attraction Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time) and their resulting love child born on June 18th, 1993: LAST ACTION HERO!

Join the Screen Refresh crew as we dissect this wonderfully meta romp that pokes fun at action movie tropes (while becoming a solid action film itself).

06/01/2025

Screen Refresh heads to Toon Town as we revisit the 1988 classic, Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Puh-puh-puh-puh-please join us as we review this amazing film starring the great Bob Hoskins, talented Christopher Lloyd and even Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny!

26/04/2024

Celebrate 4-26 with us in as we discuss one of our favorite deep dives into one of horror's ultimate classics where in space, no one can hear you scream!

Will Nick, Tim, Dean, and David get their equal shares? Will Nick get home so he can party? Give yourself a Screen Refresh and join us!

We mustn't dwell at Screen Refresh. No, not today. We can't. Not on Rex Manning Day!

07/08/2023

This month at Screen Refresh, we’re taking some time to reflect, meditate, and look inward at ourselves. VERY inward. So inward that you can’t fathom how inward we’re looking. Like on a microscopic level. Ms. Frizzle knows what I’m talking about.

Join Dean, Nick, and Tim as they map the cardiovascular system of a young Martin Short in Joe Dante’s 1987 Sci-Fi Comedy, Innerspace!

We're back, and just in time for the holiday season with Joe Dante's classic Christmas film, Gremlins!

Oh, we missed it? It's February? Well Nick, Dean, and Tim are back and kicking off 2023 anyway with a childhood film that introduces us to the best little creature in cinema as well as the most frustratingly confusing rules we've ever seen. So, stay dry and eat before midnight; it's time to settle in for Screen Refresh!

The year is 1993 and dinosaur fever sweeps the nation as a hit dinosaur-based film hits shelves and a franchise is born. Also at some point, Jurassic Park gets released too.
