ep335: Popcorn Punchout - April's All-Out Alien Attack

There are two things that we love above all else here on Video Monsters: aliens and alliteration. So it should come as no surprise that our theme for this month is April’s All-Out Alien Attack!!! And, much like we did last month, we’re going to use our game-ified version of the standard competitive bracket system to decide on which three alien films we’ll be reviewing throughout the month, a process we’ve decided to call POPCORN PUNCHOUT: The Video Rack Attack Bracket! The rules are simple: Nathan, Dan, Eric, and the listeners on our Discord channel have selected a combined total of 33 alien films. These titles are placed into our Skull of Decisions to be drawn at random to create our initial round of 8 matchups (which means only 16 films in total will even make it out of the skull to compete!) Each pairing is debated, votes are cast, and the film with a majority of votes will move on to the next round. Voting continues until only two films are left. The third film is decided by our chaos bracket. Nathan, Eric, and Dan each have one chaos card they can use to advance a losing film to the chaos bracket, giving it the potential to be resurrected as our third and final film to be reviewed this month. Much like last month, it’s a game filled with a number of surprising twists and turns. Alliances will be forged, hearts will be broken, and only three films will triumph in the end. So grab your ray gun, take us to your leader, and keep your eyes on the sky while listening to the Video Monsters get into a fierce POPCORN PUNCHOUT with April’s All-Out Alien Attack.
