The 48 Hour Film Project- Pittsburgh - 2023 Wrap Party Special
This week, we've got a special treat for you all. The past month, we've been working with The 48 Hour Film Project - Pittsburgh, the city chapter of the world wide contest of filmmakers who all compete on a given weekend to produce a short film from the ground up within 48 hours based on a provided character, prop, and line of dialogue. This year, we assisted in hosting a live stream for their wrap party where we interviewed tons of local filmmakers to see just how their weekend in the filmmaking crucible ended up.
Special thanks to City Producer PJ Gaynard, JP Lavoie, Bryan Chemini, the staff at Riley's Pour House in Carnegie, and of course the filmmakers we spoke to who shared their stories with us.

Jack And Jill (2011) With The Silver Linings Playlist Podcast - Episode 270
This week's movie is one that we have actively avoided since 2016. This week, we are tackling, with the help of Dustin and Nathan of The Silver Lining's Playlist Podcast, 2011's Jack & Jill. A movie so bad that it hurts our brains. Why does this movie suck so bad you might ask? Could it be the fact that Adam Sandler plays a female version of himself who's running gag is farting and pooping in every scene? Could it be the MASSIVE amounts of product placement that make this film feel like the bumper of a Nascar race car? Or could it be the sheer level of racist stereotypes and jokes that weren't ok in 2011 let alone in 2023? Well swig some Pepto Bismal folks, cause this one is gonna be a bumpy ride. THE SILVER LININGS PLAYLIST PODCAST
Check out Nathan, Dustin, and Mallie over at The Silver Lining's Playlist Podcast where they try to find the silver lining to cinema's most bleak films.

Edgar Wright - Filmmaker Retrospective with Sophia Ricciardi of MOVIESTRUCK! - Episode 269
This week, after a bit of a break for our live show for the 48 hour film project in Pittsburgh, we are back to look at a filmmaker that has managed to constantly merge genres with a massive talent in using all the tools of the trade to visually tell a story. We're talking about Edgar Wright. The filmmaker behind Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Baby Driver. A technical wizard and a master of filmmaking choreography. However, a massive talent like Edgar Wright requires a massive talent to assist in the review, so we are joined by fellow film podcaster, Sophia Ricciardi of MOVIESTRUCK! We pull back the curtain to take a hard look at this filmmaker and attempt to answer the question....can John come up with a million dollar catch phrase like "snoochie boochies" to include in Brian's next film.

The Ladykillers (2004) - Movie Review - Episode 268
This week after our descent into the Breenpocalypse (seriously check episode 267 for our therapy session) we needed a serious pallete cleanser. For us that came in the form of the 2004 film, The Ladykillers. Deridded by critics and fans of the often celebrated Cohen Brothers, this remake of the 1955 british comedy about criminals robbing a casino by tunnelling through an elderly woman's basement is chock full of so many off the wall and darkly comedic moments. From the need for waffles, Tom Hank's doing his best Foghorn Leghorn impression, to a yet to be super famous J.K Simmons stealing scenes as the demolition expert with IBS, Garth Pancake.
But does this movie deserve the hate or is this an under appreciated gem that has grown better with age? We'll find out today! DISCORD!!!

Twisted Pair (2018) - The Fifth Horseman of The Breenpocalypse - Episode 267
"Please God make it stop.." Those words were inside our heads the entire time that we watched this week's movie, Twisted Pair. A movie by our favorite cultivator of cinematic crap, Neil Breen. And boy oh boy, this one was bad. Never did we think that we would long for the days of tuna, laptops, and magic rocks...but leave it to everyone's favorite god, alien, humanoid, cyborg-jesus; we started to miss the old day's of Breen. Instead what we were left with was a bizarre green screen hellscape that then splits it's time with an abandonded community college in Nevada.
Special thanks to Wikipedia, as there would have been NO WAY that we would be able to parse a plot out of this film without the plot summary. DISCORD!!!

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) with The Cinema Guys! - Movie Review - Episode 266
This week, we are taking a bizarre pipe down to the neon colored, member-berry filled world of The Super Mario Bros Movie! No, not that dystopian nightmare about trusting the fungus while Dennis Hopper searches for a meteroite. (Check out Episode 9 for that one). We are talking about the NEW NEW animated one that actually does a pretty decent job at portraying a video game about two brothers battling koopas, evil turtles, and Kongs. But a movie of this magnatiude requires some special guests to tackle it and boy do we have some fantastic guests. Cincinatti's own THE CINEMA GUYS stops by to talk Mario, Luigi, and Peach. We had a lot of laughs and tangents on this one, so buckle up as we talk all things Super Mario Bros! THE CINEMA GUYS!
Check out one of Cincinatti's top podcasts, THE CINEMA GUYS, featuring Brad, Justin, and The Cinemaiden! They are hilarious and were fantastic guests. Listen to them on all podcast platforms!

Monty Python's: The Life of Brian (1979) - Movie Review - Episode 265
Happy Easter...Passover...or just day that happens to end in "Y". This week, we are celebrating one of the hallmark films of the 1970's that can be credited with birthing a great deal of the comedy that we all take for granted. 1979's Life of Brian is a brilliant satire that pokes fun at everything from the concept of religion to the tenets of politics. For it's time, the film was attacked by religious groups and even banned in the UK (a genuine Video Nasty). But has retained a status as an influentential piece of satire that has gone on to be referenced in everything from South Park to Family Guy.
Fair Warning: We do go deep into frank discussions about religion and politics, as they are major themes within the film. DISCORD!!!

Creed III (2023) - Movie Review - Episode 263
This week, we are a little bit late to the party on this film, but we had to do an episode on Leprechaun 3 last week in honor of St. Patrick's Day. That aside, we are talking about the newest entry into the long running Rocky Cinematic Universe, CREED III. The third outing of Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed as he fights for his legacy against the physical embodiment of his past in Johnathan Major's, "Diamond" Damian Anderson. This film marks Michael B. Jordan's directorial debut and based on the strength of this movie, we can't wait to see more. However, this film marks the first time that Sylvester Stallone's, Rocky, remains absent from the outing against the back drop of Hollywood infighting between Rocky Producer, Irwin Winkler and himself over the direction and rights to the franchise. But does this film even need Rocky? Tune in to find out.

Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania - Is It REALLY as Bad as Everyone Says It Is? (SPOILERS) - Episode 260
Is the MCU dead? In this episode, Brian and John discuss the mixed reception of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and explore whether this signals the decline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. we unpack it all! The good (yes there is some), the bad, and the ugly. Spoilers abound, but we try to answer some of the biggest questions associated with this movie. Such as whether or not audience expectations, Evangeline Lilly's vaccine comments, and just overall super hero fatigue are responsible for making this movie one of the lowest rated Marvel films on Rotten Tomatoes.

Zombi Holocaust AKA Doctor Butcher MD (1980) with Cam Schwarz of Rabid Dog Films - Episode 256
This week, we are joined by "Cannibal" Cam Schwarz of Rabid Dog Films and we're taking a look at the cult classic, "Zombi Holocaust" AKA "Doctor Butcher MD (Medical Deviant).
Released in 1980, this low-budget Italian film follows a group of scientists and medical professionals as they investigate a series of mysterious disappearances on a remote island in the Pacific. But as they soon discover, the island is overrun with zombies created by a mad scientist experimenting with voodoo and cannibalism.
While the acting and special effects may not be top-notch, "Zombi Holocaust" embraces its B-movie status and delivers a deliciously campy and entertaining experience. The film's pacing may be slow at times, but the cheesy charm more than makes up for it.
Fans of bad movies, this is one you don't want to miss.

In what has become a yearly tradition here at The Cinema Psychos Show, our first major episode of the year is our breakdown of the year that was 2022. In the film industry, this year had something for just about everybody. Do you want some corporate drama about a media empire's take over of a streaming service and subsequently culling loads of content (some of which leans more in the diversity section, or maybe you wanted to see a beloved actor from the '90's strike a comedian on national television? If movies are more your game, well we've got everything from wizards battling witches, yellow pill shaped merchanising machines, and dinosaurs....of course.
So if you are as exhausted by 2022 as we were, reminisce with us as we say adeu to the year that was 2022.

Happy New Year Folks. So due to some technical difficulties on our part, we were unable to provide you all with are long overdue review of the cult classic, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. I know, its a real bummer. However, I wanted to take a moment to share with you all our amazing interviews that we conducted while we were at the Eerie Horror Fest this past October.

Puppet Master (1989) - Movie Review - Episode 252
Ah the holidays, the time of the year when we all get to contribute to our capitalist hellscape of a society by buying our love with gifts…but have you ever wondered what would happen if your gifts came alive? If you thought that was a better plot for 1989’s Puppet Master you would be correct! Puppet Master introduces the world to Andre Toulon and his murderous puppets with fantastic Mortal Kombat names like “Blade” and “Leech Woman”. Unfortunately, this entry of Puppet Master also has a very convoluted plot dealing with a group psychic frienemies and zombies…kinda. It’s very rare that the first entry intro a franchise is weak with subsequent sequels being better. So grab your group of psychic frienemies as we take a trip to Bodega Bay to hang out with The Puppet Master. WE ARE ON TIKTOK!

The Exorcist (1973) - Movie Review - Episode 250
This week, we are celebrating our 250th episode with a look at what is arguably considered one of the scariest horror films of all time; The Exorcist. The 1973 movie by William Friedkin that was so terrifying that it led to people fainting in theaters and enraging the religious right in the early 70’s. But does this movie truly deserve the title of scariest film? And is it really Anti-Catholic?

Dracula Dead And Loving It (1995) - Movie Review - Episode 249
This week, John and Brian travel to Transylvania to visit the crypt of Count Dracula….well not quite, we actually visit 1995 and Dracula’s crypt is full of Leslie Nielsen Naked Gun Jokes, Peter McNichol eating flies, and of course…an enema. We are talking about the horror parody from comedic master Mel Brooks, “Dracula Dead and Loving It.” A movie that feels like a weird sibling to 1974’s Young Frankenstein; a parody of both the early 90’s classic horror monster revival ushered in by 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula and a comedic homage to Hammer Films. But unlike Young Frankenstein, this movie was panned by critics and marked the end of Mel Brooks line of parody films dating all the way back to the 70’s. But is this movie really that awful?

Hellraiser Revelations (2022) - Movie Review - Episode 248
This week, Brian and John open the box and venture to the world of The Hellraiser Franchise. Now while we will eventually get to Hulu's Hellraiser Remake, we felt it was necessary to look at the absolute worst moment in the franchise. We are of course talking about 2011's Hellraiser Revelations. This movie is on a whole other level of bad; and we aren't just saying that cause it features "Fat/Wish.com/Great Value Pinhead". This movie was one in a series of copyright grabs by everyone's favorite creep, Harvey Weinstein and Dimension Films in an effort to retain the rights for profit. Fair warning...This particular episode of The Cinema Psychos Show is a bit extra explicit. So if you like our episodes where we are a bit more on the vulgar humor side, this one is for you.

The Scream Franchise - Episode 247
This week as we drift out of our Halloween Hangover, John has forced Brian to finally confront his distaste for The Scream Franchise. Long time listeners of the podcast will know that despite Brian being an aficianado of cinematic terror, Wes Craven's 1996 meta-filled opus stands as a very consequential film in Brian's view of how the horror movie was changed irrevocably as a result of it's success.
So it is a franchise analysis AND a therapy session, a trick and treat if you will. So grab your ghost face mask and book of meta movie knowledge as we crack open The Scream Franchise! MERCH AND ANNOUCEMENTS

As this is dropping on All Hallows Eve, I wanted to give you all a very special treat.
John and I were lucky enough to attend The Eerie Horror Fest earlier in the month and we had the pleasure of talking with a number of celebrity guests. This first one was one of the ones I was most interested in meeting.
John Adams and Tobey Poser are the husband and wife team, who along with their children, have truly shaken up the indie horror landscape with their terrifying film, "Hellbender" which holds a 97% one Rotten Tomatoes and has
In talking with them, we got to learn about how they take real life situations that their family has dealt with and weave them into tales of the macabre that frighten and delight.

But after a brief hiatus that saw us travel to be part of The Eerie Horror Fest, we are back with some amazing new episodes recorded inside the festival itself. This week, we are venturing to the bowels of streaming hell as we take a look at the newest cinematic offering from Rob Zombie with "The Munsters". A movie that as of late has hit a mixed bag of reviews with some finding charm in the bizarro color scheme, zany characters, and well....the fact it wasn't as terrible as Universal Studios's trailer department had made it appear. Others have of course, as with most of Rob Zombie's movies as of late, have found this to be a bizarro attempt at telling the story of The Munsters without truly understanding what The Munsters were about.

Pink Rabbit (2022)- Movie Review- Episode 245
It's not everyday that we get an indie film to review. And this one comes straight from Germany! Filmmaker Zetkin Yikilmis unleashes her newest film, "PINK RABBIT". The film details the bizarre journey, concocted by an equally bizarre man dressed like a Pink Rabbit, that a young mother named Martha has to endure on the way home to her young son and husband. The movie pays homage to a number of bizarre and surreal tropes from other genre films while at the same time forcing us to ask the question of whether all the horrors that the Pink Rabbit puts Martha through are real or all in her head. Being an indie film, we definitely saw moments of greatness coupled with areas that we felt could be improved. But don't take our word for it. Pink Rabbit is available worldwide on Sept. 13 for you to check out for yourself.

Nope (2022)- Movie Review- Episode 244
This week, we are taking a trip to Hollywood and symbolism in Director & modern horror maestro, Jordan Peele in his newest film, NOPE. Nope is an interesting movie as on the surface it feels very much like a throw back to the old school monster movies of the 70's and 80's. But in classic Jordan Peele style, there is way more meaning behind the film..and moments of levity between the terror. However, with a knock out film like his first film "GET OUT" and the "meh" reception to his second film, "US" how does "NOPE" stack up? Does it deliver the scares and laughs or does it fail to live up to expectations? MERCH AND ANNOUCEMENTS

Practical Effects VS. CGI - Episode 242
This week, Brian and John try to analyze the age old conflict between nerds.....Star Trek vs Star Wars.....I mean Practical FX vs CGI. Yes a war that has been waged on between cinephiles in the lobbies of movie theaters across the world since 1993. But why do these techniques in creating the fantastical have to be polar opposites? Why is there so much love for what arguably are less realistic and more expensive practical fx and so much vitrol and critique over computer generated visual effects? Is there room in the big tent of filmmaking for both of these camps? We'll find out today! Fair warning, we're gonna go deep into filmmaking lore and there may be a bit of an unscheduled political rant as well.

Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - Movie Review - Episode 241
This week, John and Brian sit in some group therapy as we examine the loss of their childhood with the newest dinosaur-sized turd in the form of Jurassic World: Dominion. This movie has it all: a ridiculous plot, phoned in "member berries in the form of vintage Jurassic Park characters showing up, and all the dinosaur action that a bloated hollywood cash grab can muster. Despite all that, the real question we all have is how can a movie franchise fall so low? How can you start off with a movie that captured the imaginations of billions with cutting edge CGI that changed the way movies were made; and end up with what literally is a bloated sausage filled with the entrails of greatness.

Or perhaps you are a bit more sophisticated and prefer to sing "Scotty Doesn't Know!" as you binge watch Euro Trip for the 50th time.

A movie that some might view as a practical joke played on both the actors in the film and of course you the audience, Movie 43 helmed by one of the authors of late 90's gross out comedy, Peter Farrelly, features a cavalcade of A and B list stars who happen to have been dooped into starring in a gross out unfunny anthology of gross out horrors.

Money Plane (2020)- Movie Review - Episode 237
After a bit of a break, we are back with a brand new episode. And after our foray into high cinema with last episode's extensive review of "The Batman". We figured we had to follow up such a high mark in cinema with a complete turd of a movie. Kinda like having your delicious taco bell then suffering for it about an hour or so later. And boy of boy do we have a stinker this week. What happens when you combine a bunch of c list actors with Kelsey Grammer, The Laurence Brothers, and Edge fro WWE? You get 2020's hot mess, "Money Plane". A movie that begs the question, did the laurence brothers have to give Fraiser Crane a literal plane full of cash to get him to be in this movie? Or why did the filmmakers put their lone actor who knows how to fight, Edge, in a cock pit for more than half of the movie? There's a lot to unpack with this one. So don't forget your boarding pass and remember, anything goes on the money plane, except compitent storytelling

The Batman (2022) - Movie Review - Episode 236
This week, Brian and John don't just emerge from the shadows, they are the shadows.....well not quite. More like they emerged from the shadows of a movie theater with smilex gas grins across their faces after seeing Matt Reeves' "The Batman". Fair warning, this review does contain some spoilers. So if you have yet to see the film, please check it out first. But with this being the 3rd batman to be introduced in less than 20 years, does this version of the caped crusader hold up against the down to earth version of Bale's Batman or the roided up part time leader of the Justice League version that we get with Affleck. Or could this version of The Dark Knight actually be the most definitive version that we've seen in live action? We'll find out today!

2021: Year in Review - Part 1 - Episode 234
This week, we are back with a long long long overdue breakdown of the year that was 2021. Yes it's March and yea this is usually the time of the year when we pull a bad Leprechaun movie to review...but 2021 was full of so much insanity, how could we not spend some time talking about it. How much insanity do you ask? Well we've got everything from the tragedy and revolt of film workers to those we lost....and those we cancelled. As well as the highest grossing and lowest grossing films of the year. So put away the spring cleaning for just a minute, as we take a trip down Fury Road to the year that was 2021.

The Matrix Resurrections - Movie Review - Episode 232
This week, we are jacking in "hehe" back into the world of kung fu and bullet-time with a long awaited review of The Matrix Resurrections. A movie that no one really asked for that arrived 20 years too late in the middle of a pandemic and oh yea....as part of the rooster of HBO Max movies that has had it's theatrical revenue undercut by streaming. But aside from all those things in "the real world" going against it, what about the movie itself? Does The Matrix Resurrections live up to the original techno philosophy of the 1999 classic or like the sequels from 2003 fall face first into a brick wall of too many plot points, characters, and a web of confusion.

A movie that has proved to be one of the biggest films since Avengers: Endgame and one of the most buzz worthy films in recent years. Literally all of 2021 was a combination of news on the pandemic and rumors and leaks about just how many spidermen would be in Spiderman: No Way Home.

New Years Evil (1980) - Movie Review - Episode 230
Happy New Year Psychos Nation! It's been a hell of a 2021 and we are hopeful that 2022 just sucks a little bit less than last year. So to kick off 2022, we are celebrating by reviewing probably one of the only slasher films that tackle New Years Eve; 1980's New Years Evil. A movie that manages to neither scare or entertain any audience, New Years Evil is the story of Punk Rock/New Wave Elvira Wannabe "Blaze" who on her call in music show is terrorized by a caller by the name of "Evil" who threatens to murder women at the stroke of midnight in everytime zone leading up to the westcoast and ulimately her. The movie features a bizarre mish-mash of "punk rock" that honestly would offend any serious punk rock fan along with a killer whose motivations are rooted in crazy levels of mysogyny.

Dune (1984) - Movie Review - Episode 227
This week, Brian and John travel to the year 10191 the the world of Dune. Being that Denis Villeneuve's masterpiece was recently released on HBO Max and theaters to rave reviews and serving as a visual effects schmorgasborg, we thought that instead of do a review on that movie that we take a look at the bizarre and hard to understand 1984, David Lynch version that gave us such wonderful moments like Sting in a triangle cod piece, Sir Patrick Stewart discussing that moods are for "cattle and love play", and of course the wacky wacky wacky Harkonnens.

Hellraiser (1987) - Movie Review - Episode 226
This week, Brian and John are explorers in the further reaches of experience as we take a trip back to the year 1987 and review a film that serves as a perfect fit between this gap of time between Halloween and Thanksgiving; Clive Barker's Hellraiser. A movie that is equal parts family drama (just like thanksgiving) and sadomascistic demons from beyond the grave.....see I told you it works for both holidays. Hellraiser was a film that stuck out from the masked killers and dream demons from the 80's. It presented something new, an intelligent monster that ultimately was not the real monster of the film. With it being next up on the remake chopping block with count'em 2 projects coming to HULU and HBO Max, we figured it would be a good time to review this twisted film that holds a special place in Brian's heart. So grab your favorite S&M outfit and of course, no tears please as it is a waste of good suffering as we review the 1987 classic, HELLRAISER.

As we come down from the halloween highs, Brian and Laine felt it was a good idea to take a deep look at this series that manages to on one hand bring a good amount of gore and decent characters to life, but at the same time anger and confuse Brian due to a lack of attention to detail or following the film's own rules.

We are of course talking about Halloween Kills (2021). The sequel to the 2018 hit that served as more of a mouth wash to cleanse the pallete of the Rob Zombie stink. Yet the question remained, where do you go from here? Last we left Michael Myers, he was roasting in a firey death trap set by Laurie Strode and fam using home defense designs she clearly got off of reddit from Kevin McCallister himself.

The movie is the mutant mish mash that is SPOOKIES! A movie you probably remember bits of pieces from during those late nights on TNT's Monster-Vision or USA's Up-All-Night from the 90's but never actually sat down to watch the whole film. And why would this movie not be memorable? It's got everything! Giant Spiders that suck you dry, farting muck men, were cats, a mid-life crisis dad hanging out with a bunch of 20 something year olds who themselves are pretending to be teenagers, and oh yea...ZOMBIES!!

Friend of the show, Steve Rudzinski has dropped the sequel to his 2016 magnum killer unicorn opus with CarousHELL The 2nd. We try to remain fairly spoiler free on this one but be warned there are a few plot points dropped in this review that may be spoilery. CarousHELL The 2nd is one of the rare movies that we've come across that fostered a pretty decent back and forth conversation over what worked and what didn't work, the role of story in films that feature over the top concepts, and what we all hope to see in a third CarousHELL film.

A man who has helped shape comedy (and film history) with his fantastic wit in his ability to write and punch up scripts for TV, his parody films knocking everything from the western all the way to parodies of Dracula and Frankenstein, and funding and producing films that transcend cinema with credits for The Fly and The Elephant Man.

Batman and Robin (1997): The "Wacky Deli" of Superhero Movies - Episode 220
This week's episode is 220 episodes in the making. This week, we are closing out our long running review of the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher Original Batman Series with 1997's Batman and Robin. What is truly amazing about this cluster of neon, terrible acting, terrible story, puns, and camp galore is that this movie was the fear that fan boys had back in 1988 when Michael Keaton, at the time knkown for comedic roles, was cast. A fear that Batman would return to the ridiculous and over the top parody as seen in the 1960's Adam West series. This film is notable for being the death kneel in the Batman franchise that ultimately would help spawn a super hero revival rooted in darker and more mature superhero stories. It begs the question, if Batman and Robin didn't exist as the proverbial "rock bottom" would we have movies like Blade, Xmen, Spiderman, and the films of the MCU?

The 90 minute long Warner Brothers Infomercial; Space Jam: A New Legacy. A sequel to a movie that isn't as good as you remembered when you were 11 years old nor was it a sequel that we absolutely asked for. Space Jam: A New Legacy features truly the apex of 'member berries combined with by far some of the worst acting by not only Lebron James but also award winning actor and WAR MACHINE, Don Cheadle.

Black Widow (2021) - Movie Review - Episode 218
This week, Brian and John tackle Marvel Studios' first foreay into the quagmire that is the post-pandemic movie landscape with Black Widow. A movie that was late due to a pandemic but also about 5 years too late due to the bone-headed belief that female-led superhero films would not sell in a sea of space gods, hulks, iron men, and super soldiers. The result is a movie that tries to make up for lost time that originally saw a character reduced to the quintessential "sexy lamp" in Iron Man 2 and only over the course of 8 years finally get some character developement in Avengers Endgame only to die at the very end. So yea, this movie is starting out pretty deep in the hole. So strap in as we wander through the Red Room and find out all about our favorite red-headed assasin in "BLACK WIDOW."

We are sticking around 1987 as we take a look at one of the rare teenage comedies from the era to actually not be completely gross out and full of adult jokes. We are of course talking about the 1987 blast from the past, Summer School. A movie that gave us Mark Harmon prior to joining the force of NCIS, Kirsty Alley before Cheers and Look Who's Talking, and Dean Cameron before Ski School. A movie that just might be more famous for a comedic scene of gross out gore than it is for having a music video featuring the voice of Tommy Pickles (E.G Daily) or being directed by comedy legend, Carl Reiner.

The Stepfather (1987)- Movie Review - Episode 215
This week, Brian and John celebrate Father's Day in the only way possible; by reviewing a movie about a homicidal maniac who preys on single parent families in his search for the perfect family. We are of course talking about 1987's The Stepfather. An odd ball and much under appreciated slasher film that feels more like a slasher from the early 80's rather than the late 80's when stripped-sweatered dream killers and sadomascistic demons from a puzzle box were all the rage. Yet this film rises above all that and provides us with a smart and multi-layered horror film that touches on everything from Reagan Conservatism, the American dream, and the mixed emotions that come when new people enter a family due to either divorce or when a parent dies. So grab your world's greatest dad mug and pop on those headphones as we dive into the world of The Stepfather!

Hannibal (2001) - Movie Review - Episode 212
This week John and Brian invite you for dinner (wink wink cannibalism) as we gather for a feast of one of the most divisive entries in the Hannibal Lecter Cinematic Universe (Sorry Hannibal the tv show, only movies on this podcast), Hannibal from 2001. A direct sequel to the oscar winning 1991 Jonathan Demme film, Silence of the Lambs; Hannibal continues the story of everyone's favorite flesh eater, Dr. Hannibal Lecter as he jet sets around italy avoiding assassins, sneaky italian detectives, and flesh eating swine courtesy of a creepy Gary Oldman. All the while he pines for his favorite FBI Agent, Clarice Starling, notably not played by Jodie Foster. So I hope you have brought your appetite as we sink our teeth into Hannibal. PATREON!

Rosemary's Baby (1968) - Mother's Day Special - Episode 211
This week, we are saluting our mom's in honor of Mother's Day! We are joined this week by none other than the mother of our own little hell spawn, Jan Wooliscroft, mother of John Wooliscroft. Our guest's pick this week is the ultimate Mother's Day horror (aside from Mommie Dearest) the 1968 Roman Polanski (eww) classic, "Rosemary's Baby." A classic that showcases not only the horror of siring the spawn of Satan, but operates on a number of different narrative levels. Dealing with everything from the women's movement in the late 60's, the rise of consumerism against the backdrop of the hippie movement, and the horror of conformity. So huddle around the smart speaker with your mommy as we dig into the horror that is Rosemary's Baby! PATREON!

Mortal Kombat (2021) - Movie Review - Episode 210
This week, Brian, and John test their might and reminisce about Friday nights in the 90's with square pizza, surge, cool ranch Doritos and of course MORTAL KOMBAT! We are diving headfirst out of Earthrealm and straight into the Netherrealm of HBO Max to review the newest reboot from Hollywood's Nostalgia Machine; MORTAL KOMBAT. A movie that literally just has to show up to be leaps and bounds better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1998). But does this newest entry deliver the goods....and fatalities? Or does it suffer the same fate as other reboots of nostalgia (Ie. Total Recall, Power Rangers). So, grab your game genie and arthritis meds for button mashing we are going to do as we review 2021's MORTAL KOMBAT! PATREON!

Leprechaun 2 (1994) - Movie Review - Episode 207
Happy St. Patrick's Day to our Irish friends and fans and of course to those special fans who happen to "pretend" to be Irish every St. Paddy's Day. In honor of the holiday, we are cracking open the second entry into what arguably might be the last gasp of the slasher era. We're talking about 1994's Leprechaun 2. A movie that literally has nothing in common with the original, other than Warwick Davis carrying the entire film due to the absence of the real star of the original, Jennifer Aniston's old nose and high tops. So grab a pint of green beer and a slice of Shepherd's Pie as we break down this cringe-worthy piece of nostalgia, Leprechaun 2!

Exclusive in the fact that your favorite Cinema Psychos are the first in North America to review the the behind the scenes featurette on the making of the unofficial sequel to Troll 2, "Under ConTroll" (Aka Goblin 2/Trolls World).

And wouldn't you know it, we got one in the form of the Justin Armaos' new release, "Bloodsucka Jones vs. The Creeping Death." A movie that serves as not only a comedic play off of blaxsploitation cinema but also zombie movies (which has our interest already peaked as we are all based in Pittsburgh: The Zombie Capital of the World).

This week, we are opening the 6th seal of terrible cinema and unleashing the 4th horseman of the Breenpocalypse with Neil Breen's "Pass Thru". A movie that some say isn't really a movie but more or less a collection of clips and drone footage from the raving of a sundrenched madman bent on solving the worlds problems by "cleansing" the world of bad people. So yea....It's a fun movie for the whole family....if that family is perhaps the Manson family.

The battle is of course over HBO Max's decision to release their 2021 blockbuster films on streaming as well as through traditional theaters.

2020 Year in Review- Part 2- The Best and Worst Films of 2020
This week, we are saying one final good bye to the unending maelstrom of misery and depression that was 2020 with PART 2 of our Year End Retrospective. There weren't a great deal of movies that came out during 2020 as we all were trying to divert our attention away from the doom scrolling with Tiger King or trying to master chess after watching Queen's Gambit.

Black Christmas (1974) - Movie Review- Episode 200
This week, we are breaking through the episode 200 barrier in Yule tide style. We are reviewing what arguably might be the very first slasher film....no we aren’t talking about John Carpenter’s 1978 classic, Halloween. We’re talking about the 1974 Canadian Xmas murder-fest Black Christmas. A movie that gives us party girl Margot Kidder before she became Lois Lane and one of the first roles to feature John Saxon as a police detective; a role that Saxon would literally be in for the remainder of his career (literally he was a police detective in a nightmare on elm street too) . So lock your sorority den mother’s bed room door cause the calls are definitely coming from inside the house as your favorite Cinema Psychos celebrate 200 big ones and ring in the season with Black Christmas!

Scrooged (1988) - Movie Review - Episode 199
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. Even though 2020 has done a number on all of us, we here at The Cinema Psychos Show refuse to let it take away our celebration of odd ball holiday classics. And no movie is more odd ball enough than the 1988 Bill Murray classic, SCROOGED. A film that marked the return of Murray into a leading comedic role (we'll ignore that Little Shop of Horrors cameo), Scrooged retells the classic Charles Dicken's story, "A Christmas Carol" through a modern parody that touches on everything from late 1980's obsession over television, income inequality, and a nihilistic view of Christmas. And oh yea it's all wrapped up in a wacky Bill Murray SNL sketch that you either love or hate. So grab your top of the line IBC towel and sit back as we dive into the xmas classic, SCROOGED.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - Movie Review - Episode 198
This week is Thanksgiving here in the US which means that it is time for us to pull out one of our Thanksgiving horror classics to review......hmmm aside from Thankskilling which we already did, there doesn't seem to be any left. Might as well turn to what everyone considers a classic Thanksgiving movie, The 1987 John Candy and Steve Martin road movie, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". A movie that broke John Hughes out of the box of making movies consisting of 80's yuppie teenagers and their problems, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is the type of movie that serves up plenty of laughs (even if some of them don't age that well) as well as plenty of heart. So grab a shower curtain ring, a hot dog and a beer as we dig into Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. MERCH AND ANNOUCEMENTS

We are of course referring to academy award winning actor, Brad Dourif portrayal of the "all rubber" serial killer in a matching jumper, Chucky in The Child's Play Series. The series is a rollercoaster ride of camp, gore, and a bit of voodoo from the mind of Don Mancini.

Alien 3 - Really That Awful? - Episode 193
This week, we are diving head first into spooky season by analyzing what arguably might be the lowest point of The Alien Franchise (not counting Resurrection, Alien Vs. Predator, Prometheus.....or Alien Covenant) and what might be the lowest point of David Fincher's career. We are of course talking about 1992's Alien 3. A movie that takes all the things you loved about Alien and Aliens and dumps it into a toilet bowl full of brown depressing poo. A movie that suffers from some of the most notorious cases of studio meddling combined with massive lack of direction that can be traced to the simple act of idea generation for a sequel. But does this film deserve the marker of being the worst in the series? Are there redeeming factors that can be gleaned after nearly 30 years since it's release? We'll attempt to answer these questions as we dissect the alien goose egg known as Alien 3. MERCH AND ANNOUCEMENTS

We are of course talking about the one and only (thank god) film about gold hungry aliens: Battlefield Earth. A favorite drinking game at every film school, Battlefield Earth was billed as "the next star wars" and "the next Schindler's List" but ended up being a weird flop filled with dutch angles, terrible dialogue, bad editing, and a garbage script.

This week, John and Laine ride solo as they round up two of the very very very few releases to hit the virtual theater since majority of Hollywood is still in catatonic shock at the fact that the virus has yet to get the memo from corporate america that it should start to dissappear for the economy's sake. In our round up, we take a look that the Judd Apatow/Pete Davidson comedy-drama, "The King of Staten Island". A movie about a man child who is forced to come to grips with life and....well it's a Judd Apatow movie so you know the plot. The second feature in our round up is the political comedy, "Irresistible" from America's Dad, John Stewart.

In our third entry into the analysis of B movie wunderkind, Neil Breen; we look at his space techno Jesus alien romp from 2009: I Am Here…Now. A movie that we had dubbed as his “art house film”. A movie that is a bit light on the conspiracy theory riddled fever dreams that we saw in Double Down and Fateful Findings. Instead we get a fish mash of everything from Alien Techno Jesus, prostitute sisters, gang violence, and violence against homeless people in wheelchairs in Las Vegas.

Mnemophrenia Interview - Director Eirini Konstantinidou & Actor/Co-Writer Robin King - Episode 175
This week we have quite a treat for you all Psychos Nation! You might remember that a few months back, we reviewed the little indie sci fi drama, “Mnemophrenia.” We loved the film as it forced us to examine our relationships with technology and question the ideas about the nature of reality and memory. Well, this week we have the filmmaker behind the film, Eirini Konstantinidou and lead actor/co-writer, Robin King in studio to talk about the film and explore the extremely unique filmmaking processes that went into crafting this mind bending narrative.

Mars Attacks! - Really That Awful? - Movie Review - Episode 174
This week, with the Pentagon releasing video footage of what appears to be UFOs, we figured why not look at what the worst case scenario would be for an alien attack by examining the 1996 Tim Burton interstellar classic, Mars Attacks! Boasting a deep ensemble cast including such luminaries as Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, and a yet to be famous Jack Black, the film is often forgot about when discussing the work of Tim Burton. It isn’t quite the masterpiece of Edward Scissorhands but it isn’t the abomination of Alice in Wonderland or pretty much anything released by the filmmaker after 2000. So why did this film get lost in the Burtonverse and is it really that awful? MERCH AND ANNOUCEMENTS

We are breaking down the 30 year’s young classic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A movie that quite honestly is the best movie about anthropomorphic teenaged turtles that we’ll probably ever get. We’re tackling some hard hitting questions such as what’s the deal with Michelangelo’s attraction to April? How would an inter species relationship like that work? Also we debate Casey Jones status as a house broken male who may or may not still eat out of April’s garbage cans. MERCH AND ANNOUCEMENTS

Mnemophrenia - Indie Film Review - Episode 169
This week, we are trying to erase the memory of Neil Breen's "Double Down" by cleansing our palette with "Mnemophrenia" a sci fi indie drama sent to us straight from the UK that features a web of stories dealing with our relationship with technology, VR, memory, mental illness, and the human experience. This film from Eirini Konstantinidou was a joy for us to view and definitely is a fantastic example of how sci fi can be used to convey complex ideas and stories.

Batman Forever - Movie Review - Episode 156
This week, we are traveling back to Gotham City to visit with our good old friend Batman...oh god, we've accidentally travelled back to Gotham City 1995! The year that introduced us to Bat Nipples, Bat Ass, and Jim Carrey's "Buffoonery". We are of course talking about 1995s "meh" entry into the story of the Dark Knight, Batman Forever. Not quite as deplorable as Batman and Robin but still not quite as great as 1989's Batman, Batman Forever is the kind of movie that simply optimizes mediocrity; or does it? We'll find out today in this entry of "Really that Awful?" - Batman Forever.

Batman (1989) - Movie Review - Episode 141
This week, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman. A film that had a very real and long lasting impact on both John and Brian as filmmakers. So we will be relishing this review as we break down what works and what doesn't in a film that at the time was controversial. The casting of a "comedian" in Michael Keaton in the titular role of a brooding and dark Bruce Wayne/Batman was met by fan boy fury and even death threats. Couple with the choice for Director in Tim Burton, at the time known for zany and dark films like Beetlejuice and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and the result is a stylistic film that ushered in the golden age of superhero films and led to the tidal wave of the Marvel MCU.

Slasher Films - Episode 116
This week, we continue our month long celebration of everything spooky with a deep discussion on the history and tropes contained in the humble Slasher Film. Why are we drawn to a type of movie that contains a little more than a loosely drawn morality tale with loads of blood and guts?

So grab your hockey mask or knife glove as we take a deep dark look at the Slasher Film.

Do you remember 1996? Let me take you back a time when Jim Carrey was the biggest comedy star in the world. This man was coming off of a year in which he had just done Ace Ventura 2 and headlined Batman Forever as The Riddler. Everyone was waiting for his next film. The film we all got was The Cable Guy, a movie that combines Carry's comedy with the dark subject matter of stalking. It ended up turning off audiences and critics but is this film truly worthy of all the hate? Or is it simply a misunderstood example of social commentary mixed deeply dark humor.
