In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1959 William Castle horror flick, House on Haunted Hill, starring Vincent Price! Five people are tasked with staying in a spooky house in order to earn $10k. Is it actually haunted or is it all just people taking too many "scotch ands" and "siditives"? (also, Megan is dumb and doesn't credit William Castle as the director. We listen and we judge.)

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 2010 Adam Sandler comedy, Grown Ups! It's a beautiful story of friendship between some guys that used to play basketball as kids, but also maybe just an excuse for Adam Sandler and his comedian friends to have a vacation and fart around by a lake? You make the call.

DJ and TV personality Shadoe Stevens stars in this action cop comedy that's an absolute trainwreck. Questionable morals and gratuitous violence is the order of the day when retired mercenary Traxx gets hired by a small Texas town as a "town tamer."

Don't shoot me, I'm only the ecdysiast!

In this classic episode, we take a look at one of Eric's favorite childhood movies, the 1966 action adventure making big things small for reasons tale, Fantastic Voyage! It's got science, dubious medical procedures and Raquel Welch. Donald "Paycheck" Pleasence takes a turn at being evil because that's how he makes enough money to pay off the summer home.

Rod and Natalie return in this crazy sequel to Birdemic. Because it was made as a love letter to the fans of the original, there's more inside jokes and better production values... but it's still a ridiculous mess (in a good way).

In this classic episode, we take a look at both of John Carpenter's post-apocalyptic "escape" movies - Escape from New York (1981) and Escape from L.A. (1996)! The original is a beloved for a reason, but the return to the property fifteen years later reads more like loving cosplay than an awesome sequel.

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1977 giallo film The Devil Has Seven Faces! It's tough when you're an identical twin and you're mistaken for a jewel thief because your sister's up to no good.

The film that answers the burning question, "what would happen if you implanted a mutant rabid cat inside another cat, and trapped that cat on a yacht with 9 humans?"

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1988 Tom Cruise vehicle, Cocktail! Boy needs money, boy learns flair bartending, boy has fight with mentor, boy goes to Jamaica, boy meets girl, boy falls in love. Everyone drinks. Oh, and the Beach Boys show up on the soundtrack with a late 80s banger.

Just your typical '80s post-apocalyptic science fantasy about a brave, noble group of bikers who carry medieval lances and have to storm the castle of a Mad Max style warlord.

OR IS IT?

We weren't expecting an Altman-esque character study about a tortured Ed Harris running a ren-faire in late '70s California.

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1955 Ed Wood sci fi horror film, Bride of the Monster, starring Wood's usual cast of characters, including Bela Lugosi and Tor Johnson. Lugosi plays Dr. Eric Vornoff, a scientist who tampers in God's domain, with the usual results that come from hair brained schemes and a lack of hubris.

In this classic episode, Cinema Supercollider favorite Laurene Landon teams up (literally) with Vicki Frederick to form the California Dolls, a female pro wrestling duo looking to make it big with their crooked, yet lovable manager (played by Peter Falk). While Hundra doesn't gnaw on a turkey leg while she clotheslines her opponents, she does all her own wrestling and stunts, which we love.

In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1980 sci fi time travel movie, The Final Countdown, starring Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen! It's a completely believeable tale of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier traveling back in time to 1941, just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Do our intrepid heroes sit by and do nothing, refusing to change the events of the past, or do they go full Butterfly Effect and FAFO?

There's a mutiny! IN SPACE!

Reb Brown and Cameron Mitchell have to save the Battlestar Galactica *ahem* I mean "The Southern Sun" from a mutiny led by Elijah Cal-Gon (John Phillip Law). Hijinx ensue. There are bumper cars! Hula hoops! Railing kills! Vintage dental equipment! Ladies with no pants! Plasma balls! Ladies dressed in gauze! Yelling! SO MUCH YELLING!

Coleman Francis was an independent filmmaker / actor from the 1960s who wrote and directed three special films. He had a vision, a dark, murky vision full of ugly faces, coffee, cigarettes, and small aircraft. Are these movies some of the worst ever made? YES. Do we recommend you see them? Also, YES.

We look at the 2024 videogame movie nobody asked for. With blandness dials turned up to 10, even an an all-star cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Gina Gershon, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Cate Blanchett cant create any emotion or excitement. Competently shot series of images, which when run by your eyes at 24 frames per second, gives the illusion of movement. It's something to look at with your eyeballs.
