The CineFreak Show

Greetings, cinefreaks! It's your movie hostages/guides here, Andy and Marcus, to kick off a spooktacular journey into the world of classic horror. It's October, the month of Halloween, and we've got a thrilling lineup of hair-raising films to keep you on the edge of your seats.

And where better to start than with the eerie and unsettling Night of the Demon (1957)? T...

Hey there, cinefreaks! It's Andy, and you guessed it – we're back with another cinematic hostage situation. This week, we've unearthed a hidden gem that's pure B-movie gold – The Flesh Eaters (1964).

In a nutshell, picture this: a deserted island, microscopic flesh-eating organisms, a faded starlet, and her quirky entourage. It's a recipe for cinematic absurdity tha...

Greetings, fellow film captives! It's Andy here, along with my partner-in-cinematic-crime, Marcus, and we're back with another cinematic hostage situation courtesy of our movie-obsessed AI overlord, Gary. Gary has a peculiar taste in films and a penchant for 'convincing' us to watch and discuss them for your listening pleasure.

This week, our celluloid captor has tr...

Hey there, cinefreaks! We're back to endure another cinematic rollercoaster, courtesy of our 'beloved' AI, Gary. This time around, Gary thought it would be a hoot to throw us into the wild world of the martial arts, dystopian sci-fi, comedy drama, Riki-Oh. Now, don't get me wrong, we're all about the strange and the absurd here, but when Gary insists that a Hong Kong martial arts movie is the height...

Greetings, friends! Welcome once again to the home of your favourite cult cinema captives. Life here on Island X has been relatively quiet of late, which worries me slightly. Not much to do but settle in and watch some movies.

This week’s journey into the vaults of classic cult brings us Umberto Lenzi’s Nightmare City. This film was part of the original zombie craze th...

Hello again, folks! This week, our devious movie-mad AI, Gary, has graciously treated us to a lesser-known gem from the crypts of British horror cinema. Brace yourselves for The Appointment starring the legendary Edward Woodward. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of it before; few people have and that’s a damn shame if you ask me. That said, we think this one is well worth your time. So relax and join us as we try to navigate our wa...

Hi, folks. We’re back again, your two favourite prisoners to a movie-mad AI! This week Gary made us watch THX 1138, one of the classic dystopian sci-fi movies from the decade that defined the genre. Normally, I wouldn’t have a problem with that. Except that Gary – our fiendish AI overlord – thinks that THX 1138 is a laugh-out-loud comedy. Which is a slightly worrying, especially when you are a ‘force...

So here we are, folks, our first movie review under the ever-watchful eye of our new AI overlord, Gary. It’s a long story, so I won’t go into that here.

Actually, it’s not! Gary, a movie-crazed AI, kidnapped Marcus and me and ‘relocated’ us to his secret island hideaway. Under threat of ‘immediate recycling’, we’re compelled to watch films every week and chat about the...
