Cult Cinema Catacombs: These Films Exist!

Skidoo

There is absolutely nothing in this world that can prepare you for the all star cast Otto Preminger film known as Skidoo. His take on both counter culture lifestyles and mob dramas, this film features one of the biggest all star casts ever assembled and had them all take LSD....seriously. They were all required to do LSD either before or during the shoot (even Groucho Marx). Nowhere else will you see a film where Carol Channing seduces Frankie Avalon then show us her nipples, nor see Oscar Winner Burgess Meredith vogue with Peter Lawford and Frank Gorshin. It's one of the most WTF films we have ever covered, and I don't think Mr. Farmer is going to recover from it. 

Movie 21: They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Looking for the feel good movie of the Holiday season for the family? Well, this film is not it. However, what this film is actually is a 50 year old Golden Globe and Academy Award winning classic that has gone criminally forgotten over the years. Starring Jane Fonda, this film looks at the ugly reality that were the Great Depression Dance Marathons. Andrew and Roy watch the film and discover that this film's subject matter is still relevant more than ever in today's society.

The Last 20 Films: A review

We look back at the last 20 films we watched and rank them from best too worst. You may be surprised by our choices. Also, FIND UP NOW ON SPOTIFY!

Movie 20: Dr Caligari

You know that classic 1920 silent German Expressionist horror classic The cabinet of Dr Caligari? Did you know in 1989 someone made a sequel to it, and it was written by the same cocaine fiend who created ALF?

Neither did we.

Dragging this one from the cold damp dark recesses of the vault, we examine the craziness of (apparently) one time hit midnight film Dr Caligari. This one is for the record books, folks. 

Movie 19: Twice Dead

Joined by the ladies from Spooky Bitches of Lubbock, we look at the 80's horror film "Twice Dead" for our Halloween episode. So, just how WTF is the film? It broke Andrew Farmer so hard, that he goes off on a 15 min rant alone about the film's concept of time. 

 

Happy Halloween, fans!

Special edition: Spider Baby

To pay tribute to the late great Sid Haig, we do a special look at the outrageous and fun film SPIDER BABY, a film we consider an essential cult film and a must see. especially at your Halloween party or just when you have a movie night with friends. 

The Black Hole

Join us on this, our 18th movie, where we take a journey into The Black Hole, Disney's first PG rated film. This notorious  rip-off of Star Wars is celebrating its' 40th anniversary this year, and we decided to revisit it after not seeing it since we were children. How is it today in 2019? Listen to find out.
