Well folks, all good things must come to an end, and it is time to end Saturday Night in the Snark Cave. It has been dying for a while. The last several weeks, it has just been Hugh and I, not to mention all the technical issues and lack of “SyFy Original” films of late. And Hugh and I have other projects we would rather work on. So I am cancelling it. It was fun, and my heart felt thanks to those who have come out to help us “make these films better”; but it is done.

Thanks again for all your support.

Let’s face facts, the SyFy Channel makes a lot of bad movies, but they tend to excel at films about monsters. Movies like Sea Beast, Wyvern, and Sabertooth, although silly at points, were fun to watch. And hopefully, this week will be no different as SyFy premier’s Goblin. Apparently, the creature – the goblin, eats babies, so this film should involved family trying to save the infants from the CGI menace. It has not one I have heard of before in it, unlike the other films I mention about which stared the likes Camille Sullivan, Corin Nemec, David Keith, John Rhys-Davies, Vanessa Angel, and Don S. Davis; but I still hold out hope that it being a monster film (and not having been made by The Asylum) will save it from the scrap heap of SyFy Original failures.

So help ensure Goblin is a fun experience for all, please come out and join us on the virtual couch live at 7:45 PM CT/5:45 PM PT/8:45 PM ET on July 17th, 2010. Lets all work together to make this film better. (The first 3 people to join us with SKYPE can join the live call. Details will be posted to the chat room.)

There is no recap from last weeks movie Jurassic Park.

Fine print and/or technical details:

Saturday Night in the Snark Cave will not be showing the film or playing it’s audio track. You will need to sit down with your laptop or computer and watch the movie on TV (on the SyFy Channel) and listen while we talk bad about it (or good if the film is good). You can interact with me, my co-host, and the rest of the viewers via the ustream.tv chat.

That’s right, this week Syfy is showing Jurassic Park. A film about genetically engineered dinosaurs made in 1993. I wasn’t the biggest fan of this film, mostly because I read the book before I saw it so… …Come join us on the virtual couch on Saturday, July 10th, 2010 at 7:45 PM CT/8:45 PM ET/ 5:45 PM PT for Jurassic Park, and help us make this film better.

There was no show last week.

If you are attending CONvergence, please stop by and say hi. We would love to met you.

In this world that we live in, there is a great desire to combine things in hopes that the combination of the two makes things is better that either one alone. For example Peanut Butter and Chocolate (Reeses Peanut Butter Cups), Rum and Coke (Cuba Libre), and Megashark vs. Giant Octopus. And this week on SyFy Channel and here in the Snark Cave, that great tradition continues with Dincroc vs. Supergator. This is not the first team up of the giant monster kind presented by the SyFy Channel. They have given us Boa vs Python and the afore mentioned Megashark vs. Giant Octopus to name two, but this one is special. Special for three reasons. This one does not have DebroahGibson in it. It is one of David Carradine‘s last films. And, assuming everything goes right, Hugh and Taylor will be live physically together in the Snark Cave for it’s screening.

So come join us on the virtual couch on Saturday, June 26th, 2010 at 7:45 PM CT/8:45 PM ET/ 5:45 PM PT for Dincroc vs. Supergator.

Here is a trailer for Dinocroc vs. Supergator:

Here are the trailers for the original Dinocroc and Supergator films as well:
