The Cinema Psychos Show

This week, we are joined by The Art Director for The upcoming Eerie Horror Fest, Monster Mark Kosobucki as we review one of George A. Romero's early classics, The Crazies.  A movie that seriously has a totally different meaning in light of the past few years with the Covid-19 Pandemic, The Crazies is a tale of a small town in Western Pennsylvania that becomes infected by a bio weapon from the US Government and said government's att...

This week, we are returning to our well of dark comedies and misunderstood misfit movies to analyze one of the darkest comedies to come out of the "edgy" and "extreme" 1990's- Very Bad Things.  A movie that plays to the trope of a bachelor party gone horribly horribly wrong and illustrates the lengths that people will go to avoid consequences.  Starring Daniel Stern of Home Alone fame, future Iron Man Director and Star Wars Savior ...

This week, we are reviewing the second half of the cinematic phenomena known as "BARBENHEIMER"!  And while Barbie was a celebration of a cultural icon going through an existensial conflict; Oppenheimer is very much the story of humanity's existential nightmare caused by the birth of the atomic bomb during World War 2.  Helmed by one of Cinema's biggest champions and featuring a massive cast of amazing actors, how does Christopher N...

This week we are back from a 1 week hiatus which just so happened to include one of the biggest cinematic viewing events of the year:  BARBENHEIMER!  And in celebration of the story of the Atomic Bomb and with us being Kenough, we are taking a look at BARBIE!  A movie that manages to rise above it's source material to be a film that speaks to the legacy of the character among women as well as manage to enrage the feelings of so-cal...

Buckle up for a roller-coaster ride as we embark on an excavation of the latest Indiana Jones adventure – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. With a treasure map in one hand and a sense of humor in the other, we scrutinize the controversy surrounding the digital de-aging of Harrison Ford, marvel at the plot twists, and contemplate the wisdom of the movie's third act. 

But we're not stopping there! We're burrowing deeper into the...

Get ready for a blast from the past as we hit the rewind button all the way back to the summer of '89 on this episode of the Cinema Psycho Show. Remember when the release of Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Ghostbusters 2 had us all queuing up for movie tickets? Those were the days when original ideas, groundbreaking special effects, and memorable marketing campaigns took cinema by storm. It's high time we unpacked t...

Gather round, superhero fanatics! Ever thought about the cost of producing a blockbuster like "The Flash" and the lack of substantial return on investment? We pull back the curtains on the economics of superhero movies in a lively discussion that ranges from the controversy surrounding Ezra Miller to the quality of VFX in this DC production. We've got a lot to unpack here, including our candid reactions to the film, the plot holes,...

"Evil Dead Rise" is a gory and intense entry in the Evil Dead franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin and produced by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, the film follows Beth as she visits her sister Ellie during a challenging time for their family. The movie is known for its excessive blood and gore, staying true to the franchise's signature style. As an earthquake strikes, the kids discover the Book of the Dead in the building's basement, u...

Happy Father's Day (a day later!) PsychosNation!  In honor of all our dads, this week we are returning to really the only horror franchise centeted around dear old dad...The Stepfather franchise with 1989's Stepfather 2!  This movie sees the return of Terry O'Quinn's Jerry Blake again on the hunt for the perfect family only this time it takes him to a hollywood backlot....I mean family friendly Palm Meadows where he encounters othe...

This week we were completely ready to just talk about the newest entry into the ever complicating web known as the MCU, but we hit a major milestone...WE REACHED 100,000 ALL TIME DOWNLOADS!  To our listeners, a serioius thank you for listening week after week, sharing episodes with friends and family, and being the life blood that makes this podcast what it is.  To our past guests, collaborators, filmmakers, etc.  You all are rock ...

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...

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 MASSI...

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 ...

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 w...

"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.  I...
