In this episode of the Spiraken Movie Review , Xan and Deke chat about many subjects from the state of Best Buy to various types of music before they get to the objective of this episode. So once they are done wasting time they review the 2003 rock comedy "The School of Rock" directed by Richard Linklater and starring Jack Black, Michael White, Sarah Silverman, Joan Cusak and several children.
Besides talking about the movie, Xan reminisces about years long past and Deke talks about how at one time He, Xan, Kal, Kurado, and the Mysterious J.T. reviewed an adult film back in 1999. Truly entertaining but the real star of this episode is the awesome music that was used in this movie. (Please Gods of Rock, do not smite this podcast for daring to play 30 seconds of your powerful music.) Also a new contest is debuted. Check it out and start working on it.

Spiraken Movie Review Ep 18: Army of Darkness (or Hail To The Xan, Baby)
Saturday Nov 13, 2010

Groovy. In this episode of the Spiraken Movie Review, Xan and Deke are assisted by Ash as they review a horror comedy splatstick masterpiece from 1992, Army of Darkness directed by Sam Raimi, Produced by Dino De Laurentis and starring Bruce Campbell .
Sorry about the poor audio quality in this episode, the spiraken travel mic is on its last legs and Xan needs to purchase a new one. However if you are able to stand the poor sound, this episode also contains Deke's theories about the king, Xan ranting about the proper training method of witches , and why the logical conclusion to any threat is dismemberment.
