  • Episode 182: "Dollhouse" TV Show (2009–2010)
    Mar 27 2026

    Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

    Did I fall asleep? This week, Ryan and guest co-host Cadu revisit the two-season Joss Whedon series "Dollhouse", starring Eliza Dushku, and take a look back at the sci-fi drama that left a lasting impression despite its short run. We discuss the show’s premise, standout moments, memorable characters, and the themes of identity, memory, and control that made it so compelling.

    Also in this episode, we are thrilled to share a special message from acclaimed singer-songwriter Jonatha Brooke, whose unforgettable theme song, “What You Don’t Know,” became such a vital part of Dollhouse and its haunting atmosphere. A celebrated folk-rock artist, guitarist, and composer, Jonatha has built an impressive career through decades of powerful musical storytelling. Known for her rich vocals and deeply emotional songwriting, she has released numerous albums and has also written music for film and television, including Disney projects.

    It is a full retrospective on a series that may have only lasted two seasons but still gave us plenty to talk about.

    "The story follows Echo (Eliza Dushku), a "doll" or "Active" for the Los Angeles "Dollhouse", one of several facilities, called "Houses", run by a company which hires out human beings to wealthy clients. These "engagements" range from romantic interludes to high-risk criminal enterprises. Each Active has their original memories wiped and exists in a childlike blank state until programmed via the insertion of new memories and personalities for each mission."

    Starring: Eliza Dushku,Tahmoh Penikett, Harry Lennix, Fran Kranz, Enver Gjokaj, Dichen Lachman, Olivia Williams,

    Then in "Touch of Amortus":

    "Mumm-Ra reluctantly summons up the treacherous tentacled demon Amortus, who has the formidable ability to turn all living things into stone."

  • Episode 181: "Leprechaun 4: In Space" (1996)🍀
    Mar 13 2026

    Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

    This week on Radical Retro Rewind?!, Ryan and David continue their yearly St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun tradition and this time pack for space travel with “Leprechaun 4: In Space" from 1996!

    Long before Jason launched himself into space, the Leprechaun got there first, making his way through the year 2096, bizarre space princesses, questionable IKEA-inspired surroundings, and surviving the whole thing with his buckle still shining.

    From robot drag queen sergeants to over-the-top creature effects, this sequel has all the ingredients for a truly unforgettable trip, so grab your gold, prepare for liftoff, and join the Radical Retro Brothers as they head to the final frontier with one of horror’s smallest and strangest icons.

    And we also have a very special message from the director of not only this film, but "Leprechaun 3" as well, Brian Trenchard-Smith!

    "On a distant planet, a power-hungry Leprechaun kidnaps a Dominian princess, Princess Zarina, and plans to make himself king, but not if a bumbling brigade of space marines have anything to say about it.”

    Stars: Warwick Davis, Brent Jasmer, Jessica Collins, Guy Siner & Miguel A. Núñez Jr.
