Cinema Supercollider is a podcast about movies that we love and the people that make them. Hosted by Eric and Megan, we especially hold a light up to b-movies, cult films, hidden gems and big budget flops.
A classic "video nasty" from the "80s about a psycho serial killer on a college campus. The movie wants so hard to be a "giallo," but never achieves the level of Argento or Bava. The stars of the notorious Pod People a.k.a. The Extraterrestrial Visitors (1983) show up here and clown around for about 90 minutes, making no sense until Cousin Larry/Kirk Cameron gets his penis (which makes a guest appearance ea...
In this classic episode, we take a look at the 2009 horror movie, Jennifer's Body! It's a good movie that suffered from bad marketing and poor pre-release expectations, but definitely worth a watch.
In this classic episode, we take a look at the 1984 sci/comedy Ice Pirates, starring Robert Urich! It's like Star Wars, but with more scoundrels and space pirates and waaaaaay waaaaaay less money.
Despite being on many lists of worst all-time movies, Bratz (2007) is just a pedestrian tween girl movie inspired by a fashion doll popular at the time. We thought it was fun enough, but it was laser-focused on the target audience. Where Mean Girls (2004), Spice World (1998) had at least some intent to please a wider audience, this picture was made almost exclusively for the Nickelodeon girls demo. In other words, this movie wasn...
Well there's no way up
Lord, I just can't get out that plane,
There's no way up, baby
Lord I just can't get out that plane,
'Cuz there's a shark down there
He might bite you and that's a shame.
Suburban sasquatch
He's after youuuuu,
Suburban sasquatch,
He's coming through,
Suburban sasquatch,
Suburban sasquatch,
He'll
Eat
YOU!
SASQUATCH!
The film that answers the question: "What do you get when you mix The Breakfast Club, Red Dawn, and Chuck Connors, shake them briskly over ice, and strain into a car chase?" The only problem is, nobody ever asked that question.
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.
You wanna "zigazig ahh?" We know you do!
Eric and Megan discuss the hit 1997 film Spice World, starring The Spice Girls / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_Girls
Taking a bit of Hard Day's Night, the BIGGEST FEMALE POP GROUP IN HISTORY romp around London with a bunch of colorful musical numbers, silly skits, and cameos (so many cameos) on their way to the Royal Albert Hall to play a sold out concert.
Why is there a bom...
