Man of the Year
26 mars 2025 |
102 min
Mike White March limps across the finish line with Man of the Year (2006), a film that asks: what if a late-night comedian accidentally became president due to a voting machine glitch? Cullen Gallagher joins Chris Stachiw and Mike White to unpack Barry Levinson’s bizarre genre mash-up that starts as political satire, swerves into romantic drama, and crashes into full-blown techno thriller. Robin Williams stars as a Jon Stewart-esque figure who suddenly finds himself in the Oval Office—not because of charisma, but because of...a software bug?
It’s a premise that felt far-fetched in 2006 and now feels like a documentary from an alternate universe. From clunky tone shifts to baffling plot twists, the trio digs into what Man of the Year was trying to say—and why it fails so spectacularly.

License to Wed
20 mars 2025 |
71 min
Mike White March keeps the pain train rolling with License to Wed (2007), a so-called romantic comedy that tests the limits of both love and audience patience. Chris Stachiw and Mike White are once again joined by screenwriter and podcaster Richard Hatem to dissect this cringeworthy concoction, in which Robin Williams plays a meddling minister who puts an engaged couple (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) through a series of increasingly bizarre and invasive "premarital challenges."
From robot babies to relationship sabotage, License to Wed feels less like a comedy and more like a cry for help. Is this Williams at his most unhinged, or is the film simply cursed from the altar on down? The trio dives into the chaos to find out—so say a prayer and press play.

RV
12 mars 2025 |
79 min
Mike White March rolls on, dragging Chris Stachiw deeper into the depths of Robin Williams' cinematic misfires! This time, RV (2006) sputters into the spotlight—a Barry Sonnenfeld-directed road trip comedy that desperately wants to be National Lampoon’s Vacation but barely makes it out of the driveway. Williams stars as a workaholic dad who drags his reluctant family on an RV adventure, only to find himself locked in a battle against sewage mishaps, corporate deadlines, and the ever-affable Jeff Daniels. Screenwriter Richard Hatem joins Mike and Chris to break down the film’s chaotic energy, mismatched humor, and whether RV deserves to be parked in the junkyard of bad Robin Williams flicks. Buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

Jack
5 mars 2025 |
81 min
Mike White March returns, bringing another round of cinematic torment to Kulturecast host Chris Stachiw! This year, Mike has chosen a particularly perplexing path: a deep dive into the lesser films of Robin Williams. First up is Jack (1996), Francis Ford Coppola’s baffling blend of schmaltz and existential horror. Williams stars as a 10-year-old boy trapped in the body of a 40-year-old man, desperately trying to navigate schoolyard politics while grappling with the inevitability of his rapidly approaching mortality. Is it a heartwarming coming-of-age tale or a nightmare disguised as family-friendly whimsy? Tune in as Chris and Mike attempt to make sense of this oddity, one awkward life lesson at a time.

Gangs of New York
26 juni 2024 |
83 min
We end Epic Movie Month with the only Martin Scorsese film to feature Daniel Day-Lewis along with one of the most misguided uses of the Irish accent, Gangs of New York. Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill and Someone's Favorite Productions Dr. Will Dodson join the episode to Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Scorsese's later works.
The film follows the story of Amsterdam Vallon, a man who's father is murdered by Bill the Butcher in 1850's New York and vows revenge upon him. It's a classic revenge tale set in a time and place rarely mined in media, making the overrated nature of the film that much more disappointing.

We continue Epic Movie Month with a look at the biggest budget film auteur Darren Aronofsky has ever directed, the biblical epic Noah. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Dark Destination's Father Malone join the episode to talk Darren Aronofsky's career, the biblical text, and Ray Winstone.
The film follows the biblical story of Noah and his family as they are tasked with building the Ark to withstand the coming flood. While the film tells the story before and after the Flood, it maybe should have stayed more antidiluvian than anything else.

Texas Tech University Professor of Media and Communication David Perlmutter and The World is Wrong's Andras Jones join the episode to talk Warren Beatty's reputation, Jack Nicholson's role, and what makes an "epic".
The film follows the life of journalist and writer John Reed as he attempts to cover one of the most important events of the 20th century: the two Russian revolutions. Along the way, he finds love, gets directly involved in the Communist Party, and becomes much more than just a writer.

The two films follow a former bank robber who, on his first day out of prison, gets mixed up in a robbery gone, and has to try and sort out his life and the robber's life as well.

Midnight Viewing's Father Malone joins the episode to talk Immortan Joe, Charlize Theron, and the recasting of Mad Max.
Directed once again by George Miller and starring a recast Tom Hardy as Max, it's a high octane thrill-ride across the savaged wasteland of dystopian Austrailia. It's one of the most stunning pieces of practical filmmaking ever put to screen and a worthy entry into the "Perfect Film Club".

Martin Short, Pierre Richard, and why the remake doesn't work.
The two films follow a private investigator tasked with finding a wealthy client's supremely unlucky daughter by forcing him to work with an equally unlucky man from the wealthy client's business. It's high concept that struggles to be as funny as the intial setup seems to think it is.

Midnight Viewing's Father Malone joins the episode to talk guzzoline, Aunty Entity, and why this movie has gotten a bad rap.
Directed once again by George Miller and starring Gibson once again, the film follows the titular Max as must contend with wasteland politics and resource scarity in Bartertown, a town run by Tina Turner's pitch perfect Aunty Entity. Throw in a dash of Peter Pan for good measure and you have the George Miller-est entry into the franchise yet.

The two films follow a unemployed journalist who, in a strange turn of events, is purchased by a a millionaire's child to become the titular toy. It's a bizarre setup that, at least in the original's case, not only works but manages to include on scathing social commenary. Each film has its own tone and style however only of one of them is worth checking out in 2024.

Directed by George Miller and starring the aforementioned Gibson, the film follows the titular Max as he attempts to survive in a slightly futuristic wasteland full of Ozzie motorcycle gangs and protect his family from harm. It's a hell of an opening to the popular franchise and one that sets the stage perfectly for things to come.

The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro)
28 juni 2023 |
76 min
We end Spanish-Language Film Month with a look at the real-life story of Ramon Sampedro, a quadriplegic who fought for almost thirty years for his right to die: Mar Adentro. Rankin on Bass's Richard Hatem stops by to talk about euthanasia, Javier Bardem's body of work, and why these kinds of movies don't necessarily move the needle for us.
Starring Javier Bardem as Sampedro, the film chronicles his life looking back at the accident that took his body to the fight for his right to die to his final moments. It chronicles his life in an unsentimental way that seems at times at odds with the usual way of telling a biopic story, at least in American cinema. It's a quiet film that asks questions about life, death, and what it means to be human.

We near the end of Mike White May with a Milos Forman movie that you may not even know existed because we sure didn't and had to double-check that it was, in fact, a Forman joint: Goya's Ghosts. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins the show to wax poetically about an old lady's makeup so bad even Glenn Hetrick would hate, Javier Bardem's career, and Forman's twilight years.
Starring Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgard, and Natalie Portman, the three play characters whose lives intertwine in 18th-century Spain at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. It's as much fun as it sounds, which is to say it's as much fun as being locked in an Iron Maiden or having your arms and legs broken by wooden mallets. Les Miserables this is not.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
3 maj 2023 |
90 min
We end Book to Screen April Movie with a film that's more an experience and less a straightforward narrative that not only challenges the audience to think about the American Dream but also how it would feel to go into the depths of a heavy drug binge, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Author Andrew J. Rausch stops by to talk all about Hunter S. Thompson, his effect on both of their lives, and what Doctor Gonzo really stands for.
Starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, the film chronicles the adventures of Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo as they embark upon a drug-fueled odyssey through the surreal wonderland that was '70s Las Vegas.

We continue our look at random horror movies that we want to after having watched Knock at the Cabin and Red State with a film that is as polarizing as it is one-of-a-kind: Tusk. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley is playing the part of Mr. Tusk on this episode while he and Chris talk all about the film, where it is almost a decade later, and Tusk$.
Starring Justin Long as podcaster Wallace Bryton, he ventures to the Great White North of Manitoba to find stories worth sharing on his podcast only to be taken in by Michael Parks' Howard Howe, a man with a horrifying secret of his own. If the film succeeds at anything, it answers the decades old question: is man truly a walrus at heart?

89 min
We reach the end of Marrr-ch, a month named for what else but pirate films, with a movie that's as tonally inconsistent as it is entertaining, the big screen adaptation of Peter Benchley's The Island. Northwestern film professor Spencer Parsons stops by to talk all about how he thought this movie was something else entirely but loved its brand of insanity nonetheless.
Starring forever stodgy Brit Michael Caine as Blair Maynard, he kidnaps his son and heads for the Bermuda Triangle to attempt and solve the mystery of why so many ships go missing in it. What he and his gun-obsessed son find is inbred pirates led by David Warner hell-bent on pillaging, robbing, and hippie murder. Come for the Caine, stay for the Warner.

Pirate Radio (The Boat that Rocked)
22 mars 2023 |
70 min
We near the end of Marrr-ch, a month named for what else but pirate films, with a film that wrestles with a very different kind of pirate along with not even hanging "pirate" in its original British title: Pirate Radio (The Boat that Rocked). Movie Geeks United's Adam Long programs the episode and stops by to talk about indie comedies of the late 2000s and whether this film's use of music matches the subject material.
Starring a whole raft of then-up-and-coming British comedians, it follows the exploits of Radio Rock, a pirate radio station situated on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The boat broadcasts music 24 hours a day, which at the time wasn't the norm in the UK, and begins to draw the attention of stodgy government-types hellbent on stopping the party. It's a fun little romp that overstays its welcome by about twenty minutes.

We circle back in this bonus episode to more apocalyptic or apocalypse-adjacent content given the success of Knock at the Cabin and The Last of Us with a film that is unlike any other from its director: Red State. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley is subjected once again to a film that may define conventional genre labels but works in spite of that.
Starring Michael Parks as a Fred Phelps-type pastor, it follows his family as they wreck havoc on the small Midwestern town they occupy, culiminating in a Waco-like assault on their compound. John Goodman and Melissa Leo are along for the ride in a film that doesn't feel like Kevin Smith directed it, but we're glad he did.

Starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sally Fields, and Rita Moreno, the four play a real-life group of women who bond over their shared love of Tom Brady and make it a point to be at the 2017 Super Bowl in Houston.

We continue Marrr-ch, a month named for what else but pirate films, with another film whose reputation not only precedes it, but also is rightfully earned: Yellowbeard. Mondo Heather's Heather Drain and Dark Destination's Father Malone join the proceedings to determine how a movie with this many comedians can be this bracingly unfunny.
Starring a veritable who's who of '70s and '80s comedians, both American and British, it follows the titular Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman) who must use the treasure map tattooed on his son's head to find his lost treasure. It's a film where there isn't enough of the good parts, which is any time Graham Chapman is on-screen; weird the film is titled Yellowbeard eh?

Film professor Spencer Parsons and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard stop by to talk about possibly the worst film this humble movie podcast has ever covered.
Starring Walter Matthau, this bizarre little film is a take on the pirate adventure films of old with very little else in the way of plot, character development, or interesting diaglogue. As least its nice to look at., sort of.

Starring Hanks, Bruce Willis, and Melanie Griffith, it follows Hanks as Sherman McCoy, a man at the center of a controversy that's as '80s as it gets. It's one of movies that is such an immense failure, it needs to be seen to be understood.

The 'Burbs

We kick off Tom Hanks-uary with an early entry into the beloved actor's career when he was known more for comedy and less for baiting all those Academy Award nominations playing real people: The 'Burbs. Mondo Heather's Heather Drain and Dark Destination's Father Malone stop by to talk all about what may be both of their favorite films in Hanks' expansive filmography.
Starring Hanks, Rick Ducommon, and Bruce Dern, the film follows the three suburban neighbors who live on cul-de-sac and are convinced their newest move-ins are up to no good and may have even murdered a fellow neighbor. It's a film that overcomes it's disappointingly upbeat ending to offer a truly interesting take on the idea of the suburban hellscape.

It's a film that overcomes it's disappointingly upbeat ending to offer a truly interesting take on the idea of the suburban hellscape.

Pushpaka Vimana
25 januari 2023 |
64 min
We continue Indian Cinema Month, this year to coincide with launch of the Bollywood Cinema Club, our first all Indian cinema biweekly podcast, with an Indian cinema film that doesn't require any translation whatsoever, the critically acclaimed silent film Pushpaka Vimana. DC Titan's Richard Hatem joins Chris to talk all about the film that doesn't do nearly as much with its niche premise as it could.
Starring Kamal Hassan once again, he plays a down on his luck graduate student, shades of Moondram Pirai, as he switches places with a businessman who happens to be staying a luxury hotel. This leads to series of unfortuntate events in the vein of After Hours or other "man about town" films that lead to our hero bumbling from one wild mishap to another.

Moondram Pirai
18 januari 2023 |
48 min
We continue Indian Cinema Month, this year to coincide with launch of the Bollywood Cinema Club, our first all Indian cinema biweekly podcast, with a Tamil-language film that begs the question: if a man is interested in a woman with amnesia who thinks, talks, and sounds like a child, is he a creep? The Projection Booth's Mike White stops by to help answer that question and more with a look at 1982's Moondram Pirai.
Starring Kamal Hassan as the aforementioned man and Sridevi as the aforementioned woman, it's an interesting take on the romantic drama that pulls no punches and gives the characters exactly what they deserve, and then some. The film was remade the next year with mostly the same actors in Hindi but suffers subtitle issues on Prime Video version; we don't get it either.

We take another break from Indian Cinema Month to check out a black comedy horror takedown of the haute-cuisine world of Alinea and Noma: The Menu. Taking place at Hawthorn, an exclusive restaurant on an island, the film follows the staff and guests through a tasting menu unlike anything they've ever experienced. Know as little as possible going in and, if you're a fan of Chef's Table, your culinary itch is guaranteed to be scratched.
DC Titan's Richard Hatem and '80s TV Ladies Susan Lambert Hatem join Chris to talk about the film, the biting satire, and whether the film goes far enough with the concept.

Starring the aforementioned Khan, he plays the titular PK who lands on Earth only to have the remote control that calls his spaceship stolen off his naked body. This sends PK on a journey to get home but also discover the true meaning of religion and what it means to be human.
Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about Aamir Khan, his childlike wonderment, and the naive take on religion the film ascribes to.

We take a break from Indian Cinema Month to take a look at a lo-fi horror film that took 2022 social media by storm: Skinamarink. Focused on two children whose dad disappears on the same evening the doors and windows in their house suddenly vanish as well. It's one of the most exciting, unsettling, bizarre, obtuse, and atmospheric horror films of the last decade; the less you know going in, the better!
Critic Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, the '90s vibes, and some of the overt symbolism throughout.

Starring superstar Rajnikanth as the titular Muthu, it follows him as he is tasked with babysitting his boss' fiancee which causes him to learn the truth about his entire life. It's a story that's Shakespearean in scope but also happens to feature Hong Kong-style action, musical numbers, and a chariot chase for the ages.

The Awakening
5 januari 2023 |
67 min
We end Universal Monsters Abroad, a month where we look at movies featuring the classic monsters that aren't made by Universal, with one of the most disappointing films ever watched for this podcast: The Awakening. Starring Charlton Heston as an obsessed Egyptologist who finds the tomb of a cursed ancient Egyptian queen that may be trying to come back to life. It sounds way more entertaining than it ends up being; it is genuinely one of the most infuriating, confusing films we've come across.
Flick Attack's Rod Lott joins Chris to talk all about the film, Charlton Heston's performance, and its connection to Remington Steele.

We continue Universal Monsters Abroad, a month where we look at movies featuring the classic monsters that aren't made by Universal, with an adaptation of Frankenstein that tries to do something different, to varying degrees of success: Frankenstein Unbound. Starring John Hurt and Raul Julia, it follows Hurt as a doctor sent back in time by accident to the time of Frankenstein and his monster who must stop the mad doctor and his creation before it's too late. Mary Shelley is also there in a meta-take on the classic story that sounds more interesting than it actually is.
Filmmaker Spencer Parsons and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join the show to talk all about the film, Frankenstein stories, and Raul Julia.

Starring Gary Busey and Corey Haim, the film follows young Marty Coslaw as he attempts to convince his family and friends that a killer werewolf has taken up residence in their town of Tarker's Mill. It's classic King in all the right, and possibly wrong, ways.

Bob Roberts
23 november 2022 |
68 min
We near the end of Grab Bag Month with a film that is much more topical than it has any right to be, unfortunately, especially regarding American politics: Bob Roberts. Written, directed, and starring Tim Robbins, it is shot cinema-verite style as it follows the titular Roberts, a businessman turned folk singer, who is attempting to run for Pennslyvania senator. It's a horrifying and sobering look at dirty tricks in politics and how the masses can be controlled by even the most seemingly innocuous of messages.
Film critic Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk all about the film, the real-life implications, and why the film still holds up.

We continue Grab Bag month with a film whose cast, poster, and true story are more interesting than anything we got on screen, White Mischief. Starring Charles Dance and Greta Scacchi, they play two expatriates in Kenya who get into some of the titular white mischiefs which ends in tragedy. It sounds much more interesting than it actually is, but hey, it has John Hurt, so there's that.
Mondo Heather's Heather Drain joins Chris to talk all about the film, the performances, and why the film is so darn boring.

We continue Grab Bag month with a film that Chris said he would never watch again for some painfully obvious reasons, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Starring Michael Rooker as the titular character, it follows his exploits as he and his accomplice Otis go on a killing spree in Chicago. It's cinema verite at its finest with a heaping helping of some truly shocking imagery.
Dark Destination's Father Malone and 'Night Mr. Walters' Harris Porter join Chris to talk all about the performances, serial killer cinema at large, and that lovely man, Michael Rooker.

It sounds exciting but it falters under the weight of its own twists and turns.

We kick off a month without a theme, a first for us here at the Kulturecast, with a film that features Art Carney going west with his faithful cat Tonto, "Harry and Tonto". Along with Art Carney, there is a veritable whos-who of '70s stars who he encounters along his journey from New York to the sunny beaches of LA. It's a road movie with a lot of heart and a truly stand-out performance from Carney at its core.

Along the way, horror manbabies get trolled, and the franchise comes to a hilarious, bizarre conclusion.

Starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, and a whole bunch of rather talented A-listers, it follows Adams an agoraphobe who thinks her across-the-way neighbor has been murdered. If it sounds like a better movie made by a director named Hitchcock, that's because it is but boy, it's really something else entirely.
The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk all about the film, the A-list cast, and all of that totally normal-sounding dialogue.

We take a break from Horrortober to look at a film reboot that's been twenty-plus years in the making, and it also just happens to be a follow-up to one of Chris' favorite films, Confess, Fletch. Starring Jon Hamm as the titular Fletch, he finds himself at the center of a murder mystery that involves stolen paintings, a dead woman in his Airbnb, and a dead Italian millionaire. It's much better than it has any right to be, and sets the stage for, hopefully, more sequels.
Dark Destination's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about not just Confess, Fletch but also the two original films along with where the series could go from here.

Written, directed, and starring Bernard Shakey aka Neil Young, it follows the inhabitants of Linear Valley as they unknowingly live their last night on Earth.

Congo
18 augusti 2022 |
101 min
In this bonus episode, the Unholy Triumverate is skulking around the jungles of Africa looking for green drop drink, cigars, and drugged bananas in Michael Crichton's Congo.
Starring Ernie Hudson and Tim Curry (yes we know they aren't the actual leads of the film, sue us), the two must take two boring white bread scientists to the secret city of Zinj with their talking ape Amy. It's both as fun as it sounds but also massively disappointing; Jurassic Park this is not.
Mondo-Heather's Heather Drain and Dark Destination's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about the film, dripping blood mouths, and blood thangs.

Starring Rutger Hauer as troubled detective Harley Stone, he must team up with erudite Dick Durkin to take down a demonic serial killer stalking dystopian London. Hauer and genre mash-ups seem very popular, don't you think? The success of those films is still case by case though. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the film, the creature design, and some Blade Runner hot takes.

63 min
On this bonus Kulturecast, we take a look at a film that's a little bit Terminator, a little bit mumbled line delivery, and a whole lot of gray: Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe.

Cockfighter

We continue Begleyuary with a film as controversial as it is entertaining primarily due to the titular bloodsport: Cockfighter.

Artist Maggie the Odd and Pulp-Serenade's Cullen Gallager join Chris to talk about the shorts, the stop-motion work, and the music.

KCxTPB: The Matrix Resurrections
24 december 2021 |
60 min
We take a break from Dolin December with a reboot sequel that honestly has no right to exist or be as good as it is: The Matrix Resurrections. Starring Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, the film explores the original film's mythology while introducing a new, more powerful Matrix program. It's a soft reboot sequel that succeeds where almost all the others have failed; yes, we're serious. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the recasts, and where the series goes from here.

The Wizard of Speed and Time
16 december 2021 |
72 min
We continue Dolin December with a look at one of the most technically impressive films ever covered on the Kulturecast: The Wizard of Speed and Time. Directed and starring special effects maven Mike Jittlov, it follows him as he attempts to get his special effects-laden film done inside the cutthroat Hollywood system. It's reminiscent of early live-action Disney films mixed with a heavy helping of truly awe-inspiring practical effects. The Projection Booth's Mike White and artist Maggie the Odd joins Chris to talk about the film, the effects, and what it may have inspired.

15 december 2021 |

We kick off Dolin December with a look at an animated special from 1971 that features three different narrators and music by Harry Nilsson: The Point. Narrated by Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman, and Alan Thicke, the story follows Oblio, a pointless boy, who is exiled to the Pointless Forest and his dog Arrow. It's reminiscent of Rankin and Bass and after-school specials but also features fantastic songs by Nilsson. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher, DC Titan's Richard Hatem, and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk about the film, the music, and the three narrators.

We near the end of Horrortober with a film that has as many titles as it does murders: A Bay of Blood. Starring Claudine Auger as Renata Donati, a woman who will do anything to collect her inheritance, a massive piece of land on an Italian bay. However, this land is home to murderers along with attracting would-be murderers. The film's influence is felt today.

We near the end of Horrortober with a Bruce Campbell horror film that we've not only covered once before, but that also isn't named Evil Dead: Bubba Ho-tep. Starring the aforementioned Bruce Campbell as aged "Elvis," he must team up with black JFK to take down a soul-hungry mummy tormenting their east Texas convalescence home. If the premise sounds insane to you, that's because it is, and you need to see it. Artist Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, the reflective nature of the Elvis character, and soul-sucking.

We continue Horrortober with a trip back to the time before slasher films and even modern horror all together with a true Val Lewton classic: The 7th Victim. Starring Jean Brooks as Jacqueline, a woman with nothing to live for, it follows her sister as she attempts to find Jacqueline in gothic New York. It is a precursor to Psycho and many 70s horror films including Rosemary's Baby.

21 oktober 2021 |
70 min
We take a break from Horrortober to take a look at another HBOMax release and a hotly anticipated one at that: Dune. Starring an all-star cast, the film focuses on the upbringing of Paul Atreides, a young man whose future is tied to Dune, the desert planet, and source of the universe's power. It's a CGI epic that offers little else in the way of character development or entertaining story beats. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, how it fares against the original, and where is Feyd-Rautha?

Halloween Kills
20 oktober 2021 |
58 min
We continue Horrortober with another crossover with the Wake Up Heavy podcast and a film that doesn't seem to know what horror franchise it belongs to: Halloween Kills. Once again starring Jamie Lee Curtis, it is the immediate follow-up to the 2018 film featuring Laurie and the townspeople taking the fight against Michael. It's a tonal mess that isn't sure what it wants to be, but a Halloween film it is not. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the films, Pinhead, and some Halloween musings.

Hellraiser Trilogy
14 oktober 2021 |
117 min
We continue Horrortober with a crossover with the Wake Up Heavy podcast as we continue our trend of talking about three horror movies at once: Hellraiser 1, 2, and 3. Each film in the series follows the Lament Configuration, a puzzle box whose opening brings about the arrival of Pinhead and the Cenobites. While the first film is a rather quiet affair, the second and third films amp up the practical effects, gore, and leather. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the films, Pinhead, and some Halloween musings.

The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh
12 oktober 2021 |
91 min
We continue Horrortober with a giallo film that may not actually be a horror movie, but it's definitely a giallo film for good and bad: The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh. Starring Edwige Fenech as the titular character, she must stop a razor-blade-wielding murder who may have a connection to her past. It has all the hallmarks of giallo but maybe not horror proper. Artist Maggie the Odd joins Chris to talk about the film, its influences, and some seasonal fun.

Arachnophobia
6 oktober 2021 |
58 min
We kick off our annual Horrortober with some lighter horror fare that doesn't quite thrill and doesn't entirely cause laughter, making it a true thrill-omedy: Arachnophobia. Starring Jeff Daniels as a city doctor who moves with his family to the country, he must help stop an invasive spider species from killing the entire town. It features some gross-out moments and light jump scares but ultimately is a fun throwback to horror movies of a time passed. Graphic artist Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, thrill-omedies, and acting spiders.

It's the corniest Elvis film this month, and that's saying something. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the film, the mediocre music, and that darn Elvis body double.

We continue You've Never Seen September, this year focusing on Elvis Presley, with the last pre-army Elvis role as well as his personal favorite role, King Creole.

We kick off TV Movie Month with a movie that features a whole boatload of famous TV detectives teaming up to stop a mysterious man hunting them: Murder Can Hurt You. Starring a who's who of '70s character actors, the film follows Kojak, Columbo, Starsky and Hutch, and several other TV detectives as they attempt to thwart the Man in White. It's a goofy send-up of '70s TV detectives that doesn't always land but still manages to be mildly entertaining. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, parody films, and crime shows.

Space Jam: A New Legacy
4 augusti 2021 |
87 min
We take a break before TV Movie Month with a look at a film that's been mired in development hell for almost two decades, for whatever reason: Space Jam: A New Legacy. Starring Lebron James as himself, he must team up with the Looney Tunes in a plot eerily reminiscent of the original film. It's less about the Looney Tunes and more about showing off all of the cool properties that Warner Brothers owns. Artist Maggie the Odd joins Chris again to talk about the film's recycled plot, its masturbatory ways, and much more!

Lucky Lady
2 augusti 2021 |
123 min
We end Burt Reynolds Month with a film that is not only one of the frequent guest Cullen Gallagher's favorite but also one that casts Burt in a very different role: Lucky Lady. It stars Reynolds, Gene Hackman, and Liza Minelli as a group of business partners who run rum, trick the law, and fall in love in prohibition-era America. It's a wild film that deserves re-evaluation, especially given its treatment of non-traditional relationships. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager and screenwriter Richard Hatem join Chris once again to talk the film's plot, the throuple, and Reynolds month as a whole

We near the end of Burt Reynolds Month with the film that not only put Reynolds on the map but also lead to a thousand jokes about squealing: Deliverance. Starring Reynolds, Jon Voight, and Ned Beatty are friends who go on a canoe trip down a river in northern Georgia. They found themselves thrust into a trip of terror, danger, and toxic masculinity that will change them forever. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager, screenwriter Richard Hatem, and film critic Josh Stewart join Chris to talk about the film, its treatment of toxic masculinity, and the book.

Sharky's Machine
27 juli 2021 |
84 min
We continue Burt Reynolds Month with an entry into Reynold's rather large catalog of cop films that stands out since Reynolds himself directing it: Sharky's Machine. Starring Reynolds and a cavalcade of fantastic character actors, Reynolds plays the titular Sharky, a disgraced cop who stumbles upon a political conspiracy. With some strange choices, both style, and substance, it's more than just a cop film, for both the good and bad. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager, screenwriter Richard Hatem, and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris to talk about the film, the cast, and its strange sense of style.

Smokey and the Bandit
9 juli 2021 |

We kick off Burt Reynolds Month with a look at one of his films that truly vaulted him into superstardom: Smokey and the Bandit. Starring Reynolds and Jerry Reed, it stars the two as the Bandit and Snowman, who are tasked with transporting Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta in 28 hours. The film traded in the trucking culture of the 70s along with a heavy helping of sex appeal courtesy of Reynolds and Sally Field. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher, screenwriter Richard Hatem, and Dark Destination's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about the film, its sequels, and Reynold's career.

8 juli 2021 |
110 min
We end the second annual Jess Byard June with a film that is on the list for being one of the worst of all time, a true dud: Cool World. Starring Brad Pitt and Gabriel Byrne, it centers on the two as a displaced police officer and a comic book artist both attempting to escape an animated reality called "Cool World" While it may sound like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", that comparison begins and ends with live-action and animation. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk all about the film, Pitt's performance, and Holli Would.

We continue the second annual Jess Byard June with a look at what is widely considered to be Bakshi's best film: American Pop. Centering around an immigrant Jewish family, it tells the story of four generations that attempt to break into the music industry and make a name for themselves. It's the quietest and most reflective of his works and one that stands out due to its soundtrack. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk all about the film, its soundtrack, and much more.

Fritz The Cat
3 juni 2021 |
63 min
We kick off the second annual Jess Byard June with a look at one of Ralph Bakshi's more infamous works and the first animated film to be rated X: Fritz the Cat. Featuring Skip Hinnant as the titular feline, it follows the exploits of Fritz as he stumbles from one awkward scenario to another, taking the piss out of the '60s at the same time. It's a satire first and foremost but lacks a strong narrative structure to pair with some biting commentary. The Projection Booth's Mike White and film critic Josh Stewart joins Chris to talk about the film, Bakshi's other works, and the sequel.

Starring charismatic lead Aamir Khan as Bhuvan, he wagers three years of grain taxes on a game of cricket against the occupying Brits. Its sports meets musical in this epic that succeeds most of the time but makes some truly mindboggling decisions.

We round out the films Chris hasn't seen with a look at a war film that may be the best the genre has to offer: Saving Private Ryan. Starring Tom Hanks and an ensemble cast, it follows Hanks as a captain in WWII tasked with bringing a soldier back from the front whose siblings all died. It features some of the most harrowing and realistic combat footage ever recreated but stumbles otherwise. On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel joins Chris once again to talk about the film, the ensemble cast, and where it ranks in the war genre.

In this bonus episode, we take a look at yet another HBO Max release that aims to right the wrongs of the previous entry: Mortal Kombat (2021). Featuring an ensemble cast, it follows Cole, an MMA fighter, who is thrust into the world of inter-dimensional fights and fatalities as he must figure out his destiny. It's better than MK: Annihilation but still suffers from issues that plague many video game film adaptations. On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel join Chris to talk about the film, the ensemble cast, and the where the franchise goes from here.

Citizen Kane

As we continue to look at important films that Chris has never seen, we come upon a film considered to be one of the greatest films of all time: Citizen Kane. Written, starring, and directed by Orson Welles, it tells the story of Charles Kane, a media magnate whose life seems to be as out of control as it is grand. The film is as technically impressive as it is well written as it is well-acted and deserves to be part of the conversation for the greatest film ever. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley join Chris to talk about the film if it's the greatest film ever, and Orson Welle's career.

As we continue to look at important films that Chris hasn't seen, we take a look at not only the best film of Spike Lee's filmography but a truly amazing film: Do the Right Thing. Featuring an ensemble cast, the film takes place over several scorching summer days in New York City's Bed-Stuy neighbor. With both the temperature and racial tensions heating up, it's a slice of life look at what it means to be American and what we can learn from each other in the process. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and Dark Destination's Father Malone join Chris to talk about the film, the ensemble cast, and the impact it can have today.

This month we're taking a look at films that Chris hasn't seen, and most of them are going to be some of the true classics of the medium including the first film of the month: Chinatown. Featuring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, it follows Nicholson as J.J. Gittes, a private eye who is approached by a wife who is convinced that her husband is sleeping around on her. He is then drawn into a web of intrigue, murder, and water that can only end in one place: Chinatown. Screenwriter Richard Hatem and Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher join Chris to talk about the film, Nicholson's performance, and the ill-guided sequel The Two Jakes.

Baby Face
5 april 2021 |

We end Mike White March with a film that pushed the Hayes Code at the time and continues to offer an intriguing look at the lengths one woman will go to get what she wants: Baby Face. Featuring Barbara Stanwyck as the titular character, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and self-realization within the world of 1930's finance. It pushes the boundaries of what was acceptable at the time and is still worth checking out today. The Projection Booth's Mike White and On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel join Chris to talk about the film, Stanwyck's performance, and the month as a whole.

We take another break from Mike White March to watch the second film in the HBOMax home streaming experience: Godzilla vs. Kong. Featuring the two titular characters, it also stars a handful of human actors trying to understand why the two monsters are fighting. It's another lackluster entry in a mediocre connected universe.

KCxTPB: Zack Snyder's Justice League
26 mars 2021 |
196 min
We take a break from Mike White March to take an extended look at a film that many of us thought didn't exist let alone would ever see the light of day: Zack Snyder's Justice League. A completely recut, reshot version of Joss Whedon's disaster, it tells the story of the formation and early trials of the titular Justice League. It's a film whose journey to existence is more exciting than the film's plot but it still manages to entertain even with a four-hour run time. The Projection Booth's Mike White and 12:01 Beyond's Josh Hadley join Chris to talk all about the two films, the controversy behind it, and where DC goes from here.

Blonde Crazy
18 mars 2021 |
63 min
We come to the halfway point of Mike White March with a pre-Code film that stars one of the eras indomitable stars James Cagney: Blonde Crazy. With Cagney in the lead as Bert Harris, it follows his quick-thinking bellboy as he schemes his way across the United States trying to win over Joan Blondell. It's another fantastic entry in an already solid Mike White March. The Projection Booth's Mike White, Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher, and screenwriter Richard Hatem join Chris to talk all about the film, Cagney's performance, and the history of the Hayes Code.

The Divorcee
15 mars 2021 |
66 min
We continue Mike White March with a film that not only nabbed its lead an Academy Award but also features a wild opening that has to be seen to be believed: The Divorcee. Starring Norma Shearer as the titular divorcee, she spends the film falling in and out of love with her husband and bevy of would-be callers. It's a film that straddles the line between drama, comedy, and pre-code era euphemisms with ease, even if the ending is a bit disappointing. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about the film, Shearer's performance, and its bizarre ending.

Jewel Robbery
5 mars 2021 |
48 min
Every March, we turn the programming over to our good friend Mike White from The Projection Booth, and this March is no different with a look as we focus on Pre-Hayes Code films starting out with the fantastic Jewel Robbery. Starring William Powell and Kaye Francis, the two play a jewel thief and a wealthy heiress who cross paths during the titular jewel robbery. It's a fantastic example of what it means for a film to be "pre-code" along with having fantastic chemistry between the two leads. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the leads, the MPAA, and the rest of the month.

A Rage in Harlem
2 mars 2021 |
63 min
We end Noiruary with an adaptation of a Chester Himes novel that puts a decidedly absurdist spin on the hard-boiled noir genre in the Bill Duke directed A Rage in Harlem. Starring Forest Whittaker and Gregory Hines, the film follows the two estranged brothers as they attempt to get one the woman of his dreams and the other a chest full of gold. The film meshes comedy with a heavy dash of bloodshed in a film that is as good as any Himes' adaptation gets. DC Titan's Richard Hatem, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher join Chris to talk about the performances, the comedy, and the strange tone.

The Kill-Off
17 februari 2021 |
50 min
We continue Noiruary with a Jim Thompson adaptation that is next to impossible to find, primarily because it's never been released on DVD: The Kill-Off. The film takes place in a seaside New Jersey town that has fallen on hard times and features even harder people. It's a slice of salacious Americana that only Jim Thompson could have written. Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the performances, the lack of physical releases, and other Jim Thompson adaptations.

12 februari 2021 |
29 min
We continue Noiruary, our all noir month programmed by Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager, with another film that breaks with traditional noir tropes: Night Falls (Le Noche Avanza). Starring Pedro Armendariz, he plays Marcos, a celebrity jai alai player with a massive ego who gets himself into some hot water with mobsters and femme fatales. Not only does it break with noir conventions but it also features a stunning performance from Armendariz. On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel joins Chris once again to talk about the film, Armendariz's performance, and the stunning climax.

The Sound of Fury
11 februari 2021 |
45 min
We kick off Noiruary, our all noir month programmed by Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager, with a film that feels oddly prescient in 2021: The Sound of Fury. Starring Frank Lovejoy and Lloyd Bridges, the film follows Lovejoy as a man down on his luck who falls in with a charismatic criminal and then gets in way over his head after a kidnapping goes awry. The film features imagery that's particularly hard to watch in 2021 and a message that still resonates over 50 years later. On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel joins Chris to talk about the film, Lloyd Bridge's role, and the stunning climax.

We end DCOM month with not only an early entry into the Disney Channel Originals filmography but one that continues with the genre trappings: Can of Worms. Starring Michael Schulman and Erika Christensen, it follows Michael as a teenager who is convinced he's not from Earth only to get more than he bargains for when he sends a distress signal into space. The animatronics are worth the price of admission alone, along with an interesting turn by Malcolm McDowell. Screenwriter Richard Hatem, Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher, and the film's director Paul Schneider join Chris to talk about the film, the animatronics, and Malcolm McDowell's career.

Continuing on with Disney Channel Originals Month, we take a look at a film that was not only ahead of its time but also is shockingly relevant in 2021: Smart House. Starring Katey Sagal and Kevin Kilner, the film features Sagal as PAT, a house-based AI that attempts to ingratiate itself to a new family that has moved into. It's similar to so many things but yet manages be both simultaneously entertaining and prescient.

It's the most basic of basic body swap movies and one that suffers due to how generic it is.

Coincidentally also a body swap film, it follows Kathryn Newton as a nebbish high schooler who accidentally swaps bodies with a local serial killer hellbent on staying in her body forever. Originally titled Freaky Friday the 13th, it's a mash-up of every body swap trope imaginably plus a heavy-handed dash of horror fan service to boot. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the state of horror in 2020, and its similarities to other Blumhouse films.

Mr. Go
8 december 2020 |
68 min
If you're expecting a film about a gorilla that plays baseball to be a light-hearted romp in the vein of Airbud, think again folks because Mr. Go has more to offer than a few guffaws. Starring Sung Dong-il and Xu Jiao, it's a tonally mismatched tale of a gorilla, the girl who teaches him baseball, and the manager who exploits them both.

Marked for Death
29 juli 2020 |
39 min
We near the end of Steven Seagal July with one of Seagal's earlier works, which is code for "it might be good": Marked for Death. Once again starring the Corn Dog Master himself, he plays John Hatcher, a retired DEA agent who returns to Chicago only to find the town being overrun by Jamaican posses dealing hard drugs. It's essentially some of the best parts of the Dirty Harry franchise with that unmistakable odor of Seagal. The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris once again to talk about more about Seagal's acting, the film's brutality, and whether it's a true action "classic."

Fire Down Below
16 juli 2020 |
74 min
We continue Steven Seagal July with Seagal's second foray into not only kicking ass but also protecting the environment all while wearing a Nehru jacket in the country-western singer filled Fire Down Below. Starring the Corn Dog Master himself, he plays Jack Taggart, an EPA agent tasked with taking down Kris Kristofferson, an evil businessman hell-bent on poisoning a rural Kentucky town. If it sounds like On Deadly Ground that's because it's eerily similar to that film in more ways than one could count. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Diabolique's Heather Drain join Chris to talk about more about Seagal's lack of charisma, all the film's singers, and finally put to bed a long-running joke.

We kick off Steven Seagal July with a look at the master of Aikido's one and only directorial effort with tonally bizarre On Deadly Ground.

Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard and Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher join Chris to talk about Seagal the man, his turn as director, and whether or not he realizes he's a talentless actor.

Valentino
10 juli 2020 |
60 min
It's the end of the second annual Jess Byard June, and we end the month with another Ken Russell film based on the life of a real person: Valentino. Starring Rudolf Nureyev as the Rudolph Valentino, the film follows his rise to fame from lowly gigolo to one of the silent age's most famous leading men. While the film never really subverts biopic expectations, it does just enough to justify a watch. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk about Valentino, Ken Russell's filmography, and biopics in general.

Whore
26 juni 2020 |
68 min
We near the end of Jess Byard June with a look at the final theatrical film directed by Ken Russell that also happens to be his response to the blockbuster hit Pretty Woman: Whore. Starring Theresa Russell as the eponymous character, it attempts to reconcile the reality of sex work against the glamorized version that Hollywood glommed on to. It's an exciting film that doesn't quite stick the landing, but it does more to bring light to the reality of sex workers than most films on the subject do. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about Russell's performance, the comparisons to Pretty Woman, and the reality of sex work in America.

Lair of the White Worm
22 juni 2020 |
50 min
We continue Jess Byard June with a look at one of Ken Russell's forays into the horror genre, whether or not it was successful is a different story, but Lair of the White Worm persists! Starring Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi, and Amanda Donohoe, it focuses on the discovery of a fossilized worm skull that brings about the return of the eponymous white worm. It's a goofy, at times drab, attempt at gothic horror that doesn't exactly stick the landing. OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about Donohoe's performance, whether the film succeeds as a horror film, and why Russell didn't return to horror.

Lisztomania
12 juni 2020 |
71 min
We continue Jess Byard June with a look at Lisztomania, a film that attempts to chronicle the life, times, improprieties, and death of classical composer Franz Liszt. Starring The Who's Roger Daltrey as the composer, it fuses classical music, biopics, and anachronistic themes into an over-the-top bizarre ride that could only have come from Ken Russell. Artist Maggie the Odd and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about Daltrey as Liszt, the cuckoo imagery, and the real man at the center of the film.

The Devils
4 juni 2020 |
62 min
We kick-off Jess Byard June with one of the most controversial films of all time and one of Ken Russell's most iconic films: The Devils. Based upon the life and unjust execution of Catholic priest Urbain Grandier, it stars hellraiser Oliver Reed as the priest along with Vanessa Redgrave as Sister Agnes, the woman whose sexual obsession with Grandier led to his downfall. It's a film that confronts the abuse of power in the church and how religion is used to manipulate, control and oppress. Titan's screenwriter Richard Hatem joins Chris to talk about the film, the imagery, and why it's such a vital piece of cinema.

House on Bare Mountain
20 maj 2020 |
50 min
We near the end of Sexploitation Spring with another sexploitation film that breaks even more conventions by having almost no plot but enough nudity to choke several horses: House on Bare Mountain. Starring Nazi memorabilia enthusiast Bob Cresse, the "film" follows Cresse in drag as Granny Good, the proprietor of school for girls that also seems to have a very lax dress code. Promises of monsters and other ghoulies are empty as the film seems to have one, or two depending on how you look at it, things on its mind throughout its breezy one-hour runtime. Raconteur and screenwriter Richard Hatem and host of the Scary Stories We Tell Podcast Jess Byard to join Chris to talk about the film, dating protocol in the 21st century, and Bob Cresse's depressing life.

She Mob

We continue Sexploitation Spring with another film that shirks traditional plot and narrative structure for gratuitous nudity and poor acting: She Mob. Starring a cast of unknowns, the film follows a group of lesbians who hold a wealthy woman's gigolo boyfriend ransom, only to torture him in the process. It's got nudity, and not much else. OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone joins Chris to talk all about the film, where it ranks in the genre, and why anyone would watch it in 2020.

Starring Erica Gavin as the titular Vixen, it follows her exploits as she attempts to satisfy her seemingly unsatisfiable sexual urges. It's a hot and horny romp that tries satire and political commentary but doesn't exactly stick the landing. Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk all about the Kulturecast's first x-rated movie, Erica Gavin, and Russ Meyer.

We end Blaxploitation April with a film that takes all the previous films, throws them in a blender, and you've got Three The Hard Way. Starring Jim Kelly, Jim Brown, and Fred Williamson, the trio attempt to thwart a racist plot to kill the populations of three major US cities by poisoning the water supply. It's a mix of kung-fu, action, and humor, with three of the most charismatic leads in blaxploitation's history. The Projection Booth's Mike White and MondoHeather's Heather Drain join Chris to talk all about the charismatic trio, blaxploitation's Mount Rushmore, and why there are so few contemporary blaxploitation films.

Grier stars as the titular character who, after having a sister overdose on heroin, goes on the warpath to take clean the streets of drug dealers, pimps, and crooked politicians. It's another excellent entry into the filmography of Grier, who is widely considered to be one of the finest actors of the genre. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about Pam Grier, her iconic career, and the cinematic plagiarist Quentin Tarantino.

With Mike White March squarely in the rearview mirror, we kick off Blaxploitation April with a look at the only time singer Isaac Hayes was given the starring role, Truck Turner. The aforementioned Hayes stars as the titular skiptracer who, after killing a bounty, must evade all sorts of villains through the mean streets of '70s LA. Not only is it better than Shaft, but it's also better than most big-budget action films made in the 21st century with a slapping soundtrack to boot. The Projection Booth's Mike White and OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about Isaac Hayes, the film's fantastic music, and where it ranks in blaxploitation cinema.

If you've ever wanted to join the Kulturecast as they watch the movie before the podcast, then you're in luck as Chris and Jess provide feature-length commentary for the first film we ever covered: Possession (1981). Directed by Andrzej Zulawski, it stars Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani as a married couple going through a messy separation that ends up taking a turn for the worse when Neill discovers what his wife has been cheating on him with. Featuring creature effects by legend Carlos Rambaldi and some standout performances, it's a film that you may have heard of but should definitely join Chris and Jess as they walk the film together.

We round out Mike White March with one last journey into the post-apocalyptic future hellscape of eastern Europe with a look at Konstantin Lopushanskiy's A Visitor to a Museum. At times more of an art piece, it follows the titular visitor as he attempts to reach the museum, the resting place of the remnants of previous civilizations. It's another dour look into a possible future for humanity that pulls no punches. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the film, where it ranks in the other films from the month, and what April holds.

Bunker Palace Hôtel
26 mars 2020 |
31 min
We near the end of Mike White with a look at yet another film whose topic hits a tad too close too home: Bunker Palace Hôtel. Directed by Enki Bilal, the film follows a group of wealthy people who, after a rebellion, sequester themselves inside the titular hotel, only to find everything isn't as it seems. Written by two comic book creators, it's an at-times interesting but mostly disappointing experience that never lives up to its premise. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the movie, its connections to modern tv shows, and the disappointing climax.

We continue Mike White March with a look at another film that hits way too close to home in our current situation: Dead Man's Letters. Directed by Konstantin Lopushanskiy, an acolyte of Tarkovsky, the film follows the world post-apocalypse as a man attempts to keep the faith and be positive in light of tremendous odds. It's an attempt at levity in oddly coincidentally dark times. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the movie, Tarkovsky's influences, along with an interview with the film's director Konstantin Lopushanskiy.

O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization
17 mars 2020 |
57 min
We continue the annual Mike White March celebration with an uplifting tale of society post-collapse who is being gaslighted into believing they have a chance at surviving in O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization. Written by Polish writer/director Piotr Szulkin, it follows Soft; a man tasked with keeping society together through convincing them they have a chance to surviving the nuclear winter. It's a bleak, often depressing look at a post-apocalyptic society that hits way too close to home at a time like this. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the movie, the usage of style, and other apocalyptic cinema.

The Secret of Steel City
14 mars 2020 |
33 min
Every March, we turn the programming over to our good friend Mike White from The Projection Booth, and this March is no different with a look at foreign science fiction films, starting with the Czech film, The Secret of Steel City. Adapted from Jules Verne's The Begum's Fortune, it follows two warring cities who are embroiled in a cold war until that is reaching its breaking point. It's a quaint little film that's not much sci-fi but more steampunk. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, its Eastern European influences, and Czech cinema.

All That Jazz
2 mars 2020 |
54 min
As we reach the end of Unconventional Musical Month, we take a look at a semi-autobiographical musical about one of the powerhouses of the stage world All That Jazz. Set in '70s New York, it follows a thinly veiled version of Fosse, played by Roy Scheider, as he attempts to keep his life together while finishing a film and a stage play at the same time. It's an exciting look at the life of Fosse as well as coincidentally predicting his death. DC Titan's writer Richard Hatem and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the film, the life of Bob Fosse, and what it means to be a content creator.

Streets of Fire
19 februari 2020 |
75 min
We near the end of Unconventional Musical Month with a film that is not only a vanity project from one of Hollywood's finest action directors, but also taps into Americana by way of the '80s: Streets of Fire. Set in Somewhere, America, it follows Michael Pare as Tom Cody, a soldier who returns to his hometown to find his former high school sweetheart kidnapped by a biker gang. Hired by her current boyfriend to get her back, he embarks on a mission that spans multiple film genres and styles in a unique mashup that only Walter Hill could have thought up. You've Never Seen's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about the film, its music, and the film's wooden leading man.

We continue Unconventional Musical Month with a look at the American remake of a BBC classic that stars Steve Martin and Jessica Harper, Pennies from Heaven. The film follows married couple Arthur and Joan as they attempt to make it through the Great Depression together, all the while Arthur continues to get himself deeper and deeper into trouble. Like Bugsy Malone, it's a unique spin on the musical genre featuring some astounding musical set-pieces. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the casting of Steve Martin, and whether it does the original any justice along with an interview with cult film icon Jessica Harper.

Bugsy Malone
6 februari 2020 |
61 min
We kick off Unconventional Musical Month with a musical so insane it needs to be seen to be believed, the children gangster musical comedy spoof, Bugsy Malone. The film stars Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, and a whole cavalcade of child actors who play gangsters in a world full of cream pie guns, singing with adult voices, and pedal cars. It's cinematic insanity on a level that is rarely seen in modern cinema; it's a singular experience. The One Season Show's Jess Byard and OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone join Chris to talk about the film's existence, the music, and Jodie Foster's upsetting performance.

Empire of the Sun
29 januari 2020 |
72 min
We round out our look at Steven Spielberg's b-sides with a film that features Christian Bale in his first feature role as a preteen stuck in Shanghai during wartime: Empire of the Sun. Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by J.G. Ballard, it follows Bale as a young version of Ballard, who gets separated from his parents at the onset of WWII. The movie then proceeds to meander for nearly three hours, attempting to have something important to say but ultimately failing at having anything to say. DC Titan's Richard Hatem joins Chris to talk about the film, his favorite Spielberg film, and the problems with war movies.

Always
24 januari 2020 |
58 min
We continue our look at Steven Spielberg's b-sides with a film Roger Ebert quoted as being Spielberg's "weakest film since 1941": Always. A remake of A Guy Named Joe, it follows Richard Dreyfuss as aerial firefighter Pete Sandich who, during his final mission, dies while saving his best friend. After his death, Pete becomes a spirit attempting to get over his former love and help a budding aerial firefighter get his life on track. It's a film that The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, how it would affect Spielberg's later career, and where it ranks in killer car movies.

Freaked
22 januari 2020 |
352 min
To coincide with the premiere release of the soundtrack for Freaked on vinyl, we've decided to take a break from Steven Spielberg's b-sides to look at one of the unsung comedy classics of the early '90s: Freaked. Written by Alex Winter, Tom Stern, and Tim Burns, as well as directed by Winter and Stern, the film follows Winter as Ricky Coogan, a sleazy former child actor who heads to South America to shill toxic chemicals. While there, he becomes the victim of Elijiah C. Scuggs, a demented circus leader, who turns Coogan into his latest disgusting creation. It's an irreverent cult classic that features body horror, nonsequiturs, and a heaping helping of the Butthole Surfers. OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about the film, his favorite Spielberg film, and whether the film deserves all the hate. Along with Father Malone, Chris speaks with directors Alex Winter and Tom Stern, screenwriter Tim Burns, actress Megan Ward, and actors Derek McGrath, Lee Arenberg, and John Hawkes.

1941
20 januari 2020 |
84 min
We continue our look at Steven Spielberg's b-sides with a film that bills itself as a comedy spectacular but seems to forget how to be funny; we're talking about the comedy war action mess that is 1941. Based on a script by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis along who were inspired by real-life events in LA before WWII, it features a star-studded cast of comedic and dramatic actors as they attempt to thwart an Axis invasion. It's a bizarre mashup of genres that, at times, doesn't work and at others only slightly works but ultimately is a lackluster addition to Spielberg's filmography. OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about the film, his favorite Spielberg film, and whether the film deserves all the hate.

Duel

With David Lynch December in the rearview mirror, we kick off 2020 with a look at a director who hasn't gotten much attention on the Kulturecast, Steven Spielberg, and his b-sides. We begin our look at Spielberg's b-sides with his first film, Duel. Dennis Weaver plays David Mann, an everyman who makes the mistake of passing a tanker truck on a desolate California highway only to be tracked and harassed by the angry trucker. Unfortunately, it doesn't remotely live up to the expectations of a Spielberg film but sets the stage for movies to come. The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, how it would affect Spielberg's later career, and where it ranks in killer car movies.

Mulholland Dr.
6 januari 2020 |
105 min
Yes, it's true, David Lynch December has come to a close but not without one final look at a film that any list featuring the auteur's films should not be without Mulholland Drive. Following the exploits of Naomi Watts as the naive Betty, she goes on a journey through the seedy underbelly of the entertainment industry in Hollywood along Laura Harring's Rita. Not only is it one of Lynch's more approachable films, but it is also widely considered to be his finest cinematic accomplishment. The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, whether its a love letter to Hollywood or not, and that one scene.

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
24 december 2019 |
62 min
As we near the end of David Lynch December, we take a break from transcendental weirdness to check back in with the Skywalker clan and their bevy of friends in the finale to the latest Star Wars trilogy: The Rise of Skywalker. Following the events of the lackluster Last Jedi, the film picks up a year later with the return of a powerful villain once thought dead that threatens to destroy the entire known galaxy. It's yet another disappointing, disjointed, and ultimately forgettable conclusion to a sequel trilogy mired in mediocrity and problems. The Projection Booth's Mike White and director Matt Campagna join Chris to have a civil discourse about the film, where the trilogy goes from here, and who may be to blame for the film's failings.

21 december 2019 |
91 min
We are smack dab in the middle of David Lynch December, our followup to David Lynch January, as we take a look at the auteur's attempt to adapt one science fiction's most epic stories, Dune. It follows House Atreides as they are moved to the desert world Arrakis to overlook the harvesting of a spice that powers the universe. Lynch as met his match with a source material just as esoteric and bizarre as he is. It's a wild ride that bombed at the box office but has become a cult classic in the years since. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the film, all of the related ephemera surrounding the film, and the upcoming remake.

We reach the midpoint of David Lynch December, our followup to David Lynch January, with a look at the auteur's adaptation of Barry Gifford's Wild at Heart, which is also titled Wild at Heart. Starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, the film follows the pair as two star-crossed lovers as they attempt to evade both the law and hired hitmen while continuing to be embroiled in their fiery romance. It's True Romance through the lenses of Lynch with the amount of weirdness that's to be expected with the director.

We take a break from David Lynch December to take a look at a film that ranks in the bottom 100 of IMDB's worst-rated movies of all time: Dungeons and Dragons (2000). Starring, for some reason, Jeremy Irons and Richard O'Brien, the film follows a band of adventurers who are drawn into a quest to save the empire from the evil clutches of a dragon-obsessed mage. First-time guest co-host and D&D expert Alan "The Dungeon Coach" Bjorkgen joins Chris to talk about the film, how close it is to the actual tabletop game and the atrocious special effects.

We kick off David Lynch December, our followup to David Lynch January, with one of two biopics from the auteur which also happens to be his second film which also happened to have gotten nominated for eight Oscars: The Elephant Man. Starring John Hurt as the titular character, the film follows the life and times of John Merrick, a man stricken with a horrible physical disfigurement, who meets a doctor who attempts to change his life. It's a sentimental and touching story of compassion and humanity that features only the slightest Lynchian touches. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, the real-life Elephant Man, and where the film falls in Lynch's body of work.

Terminator: Dark Fate
7 november 2019 |
76 min
We take a break from Noirvember to cover the latest film in the possibly dead Terminator franchise: Terminator: Dark Fate. This "true sequel" to Judgement Day features returning characters from that film and brand new characters attempting to thwart the uprising of a new robotic enemy. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns along with Linda Hamilton, trying to cash in on the success of recent soft reboots to popular franchises. While the film's first act is superb, it falls apart in the later acts and becomes the usual CGI mess in the film's bombastic finale. Canadian director Matt Campagna joins Chris to talk about the film's controversial opening scene, where the franchise goes from here, and where the film ranks in the canon.

Dark Passage
6 november 2019 |
56 min
With Horrotober firmly in the rear-view mirror, we turn our sights on the first annual Noirvember, a look at all things film-noir. We kick off this month with a look at one of the four collaborations between acting couple powerhouses Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall: Dark Passage. Based on the book by David Goodis, the film follows Bogart as Vincent Parry, a man wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of his wife, who attempts to clear his name with the help of Lauren Bacall. Along with noir tropes, the film also employs a first-person perspective for the first half, cementing itself as a unique entry into the noir genre. OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about Bogart's filmography, the unique filming style, and whether the film is actually "noir."

Halloweentown Halloween Special
31 oktober 2019 |
190 min
If you thought Ginger Snaps was going to be it for 2001: A Horrortober Odyssey, think again, because we've got a special Halloween episode for all you boils and ghouls out there talking haunted houses, the holiday itself, and a very special Disney film that's near and dear to the Kulturecast: Halloweentown. Released in 1998 on the Disney Channel, the film follows the Cromwell family as they are drawn back to Halloweentown by their grandmother as they must confront an evil force bent on merging Earth and Halloweentown. Starring Kimberly J. Brown, Debbie Reynolds, and Judith Hoag, it's a wholesome yet entertaining approach to Halloween that has entered the pantheon of memorable films focused on the spooky holiday. Award-winning screamwriter Jess Byard joins Chris in-person to talk about every facet of the Halloween season, the film's representation of family, and their combined love of haunted houses.

Ginger Snaps
30 oktober 2019 |
49 min
We've reached the final entry into 2001: A Horrortober Odyssey with a look at a film that's part allegory for puberty and part traditional werewolf story: Ginger Snaps. Starring Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins, it focuses on two sisters who have to cope with the fallout of one of them being attacked by a werewolf. As the older of the two begins to exhibit physical signs of a terrifying transformation, the younger sister attempts to find a way to stop her from fully turning. It's a novel concept that ends up crumbling under the weight of its muddled, prolonged finale. Award-winning screamwriter Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, the puberty allegory, and why werewolf stories tend to be generic.

Lost Souls
24 oktober 2019 |
75 min
We are nearing the end of 2001: A Horrortober Odyssey with our penultimate episode on a film that attempts too many things and gets almost none of them right: Lost Souls. Featuring Winona Ryder and Ben Chaplin, the film follows Chaplin as an atheist journalist who falls down a rabbit hole of religion and demonry as he attempts to stop himself from becoming the vessel for the Antichrist. It's a meandering attempt to cash in on the Y2K craze of the late '90s along with a boatload of religious hokum. Screenwriter for TV and film Richard Hatem joins Chris for the first time to talk about the Winona Ryder's eyes, the state of horror in 2019, and why the film was a flop.

What Lies Beneath
17 oktober 2019 |
53 min
We are at the halfway point of 2001: A Horrortober Odyssey with the only horror movie Harrison Ford ever starred in, which also happens to be directed by Robert Zemeckis: What Lies Beneath. Harrison Ford plays Dr. Norman Spencer, whose wife, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, is being haunted by a seemingly benevolent spirit in their house they are renovating. She later realizes the spirit may be trying to tell her something about her husband and his past, with grave consequences for her future. It's a clunky, overly long take on the horror genre that is barely horror, barely supernatural, and barely entertaining. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film's screenplay, Harrison Ford's '90s filmography, and the muddled nature of the film.

Final Destination
15 oktober 2019 |
50 min
We continue 2001: A Horrortober Odyssey with a film that started its life as a spec script for The X-Files then ends up being directed and written by two of the show's most influential writers, only later to become a horror franchise: Final Destination. The movie follows Devon Sawa as Alex Browning, a teenager who, alongside his classmates, narrowly avoids an airline disaster due to his premonition of the accident. One by one, they are then picked off by a vengeful Death who makes one thing clear throughout the film and the entire series: you can never truly cheat death. While not the best entry into the series, it's a compelling idea and worthy opening for the franchise. OughtFive Film's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about the film's tv roots, the acting powerhouse that is Devon Sawa, and the franchise's later entries.

Joker
9 oktober 2019 |
56 min
We take a break from 2001: A Horrotober Odyssey to take a look at a film that is in the running for the most controversial film of 2019: Joker. The film follows Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, a mentally disturbed man whose life is falling apart around him. Unable to make a name for himself in the world of clowns for hire, Arthur slips farther and farther into insanity, possibly becoming the famous clown prince of Gotham in the process. Similar to other DC Comics films, it's a meandering, unnecessary slog that has nothing important to say on the myriad of issues it attempts to confront. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, Mike's storied past with director Todd Phillips, and the laziness of the film's ending.

Cherry Falls
7 oktober 2019 |
49 min
We kick off 2001: A Horrotober Odyssey with a look at one of the forgotten slashers from pre-2001 that never even got a theatrical release: Cherry Falls. Starring Brittany Murphy, the film focuses on the town of Cherry Falls as it comes to terms with a serial killer in their midst. When it's determined that the killer only murders teenage virgins, insanity ensues that engulfs the town and leads to a finale that needs to be seen to be believed. It's a film that is part satire, part slasher, and utterly ridiculous. The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, Brittany Murphy's acting career, and why the film never got its due.

Nothing But Trouble
1 oktober 2019 |
69 min
We end You've Never Seen September with a look at a film that is as notorious awful: Dan Aykroyd's vanity project and only directing credit Nothing But Trouble. Starring Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy, and Dan Aykroyd, it follows Chase and Moore as two yuppies who get pulled over by a local sheriff played by Candy who takes them in front of his deranged "hanging judge" grandfather played by Aykroyd. It's a bizarre film that attempts to be both funny and scary at the same time yet fails and doing either at all; it's genuinely one of the worst films ever covered on the Kulturecast. The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, why Aykroyd may have been the weakest of the classic SNL alum, and pondering why anyone thought a penis nose was funny.

Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even
30 september 2019 |
34 min
We near the end of You've Never Seen September with a look at a film that we guarantee you've never seen unless you're a fan of a certain '90s VHS pre-film trailer line-up: Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even. Starring a veritable cavalcade of notable stars including David Strathairn and Griffin Dunne, it follows Hillary Wolf as a teenager in a mixed family featuring step-brothers and half-sisters who runs away to try and prove a point to them. It's a film in the vein of John Hughes but without any of the witty dialogue or memorable characters often characterized by a Hughes film. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to break down the lackluster comedy, the usage of the star actors, and Hillary Wolf's Olympic career.

Matinee
18 september 2019 |
59 min
We kick off You've Never Seen September with a look at a film that harkens back to the golden age of cinema and the gimmicks that came along with it: Joe Dante's Matinee. The film focuses on Lawrence Woolsey, a William Castle-type, who brings his gimmicky newest film to a 1962 Key West that is on edge during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Supported by a knockout performance by the immensely talented John Goodman, its a fun throwback to a time when cinema was king and every filmmaker was looking for a way to differentiate their film. You've Never Seen's Michael Wallace joins Chris to talk about the film, Joe Dante's filmography, and the changing way we go to the movies.

IT Chapter Two
12 september 2019 |
78 min
We take a break from Weird 90's Comedy Month to take a look at the "conclusion" to the massively successful It franchise: It Chapter Two. The film follows the Losers Club from the first film as they are brought back to Derry to fight the evil entity known as Pennywise once again. They reforge the bonds of friendship, fight off Pennywise's fear-inducing hallucinations, and come together as a group once more to try and take stop the killer clown from wreaking havoc once again. It's a muddled, disappointing followup to a first film that set the stage for an interesting conclusion only to squander it. The One Season's Show Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the faithfulness to the book, the possibility of more It films, and how the film underwhelms.

Our 300th episode is finally here! Not only is Chris joined by almost all of his current co-hosts but they join him to talk some of the more memorable Kulturecast episodes, movies, and moments of the last five years. Along with reminiscing about the history of the podcast, David Lynch's final film Inland Empire is given its time in the sun as well. The film stars Laura Dern as a budding starlet who is cast in a cursed production that begins to take a toll on her life. It's a purely Lynchian experience that verges on modern experimental art more than a traditional narrative film. The One Season's Show Jess Byard, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and Canadian director Matt Campagna join Chris to talk Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, the 400th episode of the Kulturecast, and Lynch's filmography.

Lost Highway
28 augusti 2019 |

Patricia Arquette August comes to a close with a look at David Lynch's only collaboration with Patricia Arquette and a film that verges into the Lynchian dreamscape: Lost Highway. The film follows Bill Pullman as Fred Madison, a saxophone player, who not only might have killed his wife, played by Patricia Arquette but also has transformed into a younger man, played by Balthazar Getty. Once changed, Fred/Pete attempts to figure out what has happened to his life and determine who may have murdered his wife. It's a film that can only be described as Lynchian as it focuses on dreams, the id, and psychogenic fugue states. Co-host of the One Season Show and screenwriter Jess Byard joins Chris to talk her love of Lynch, the dreamscape of the film, and Patricia Arquette's usage.

Stigmata
23 augusti 2019 |
39 min
Patricia Arquette August nears the end with a look at a film that is more music video than actual narrative: Stigmata. Focusing on Patricia Arquette as a non-religious hairdresser afflicted with stigmata, the film is a late 90's attempt to cash in on the doomsday enthusiasm heading into the new millennium. The film fails to be The Exorcist for a new generation and ends up being a cautionary tale about how filmmakers attempt to emulate a genre masterpiece without realizing what made it great. Ought Five Films' Father Malone joins Chris once again to talk the Catholic Church, 1999 in film, and once again wasting Patricia Arquette.

Patricia Arquette August continues with a look at a film written by everyone's favorite cinematic plagiarist but not directed by him: True Romance. The film follows two lovers, played by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, who are on the run from the cops and the mob all due to a suitcase full of cocaine. While Slater and Arquette are the leads, the film also features a veritable cavalcade of character actors and big-time stars in bit parts that truly elevate the film from great to possibly Tarantino's best. Ought Five Films' Father Malone joins Chris to talk about his personal connection to the film, why we fall in love with certain films, and why Tarantino's best film is only written by him.

Holy Matrimony
13 augusti 2019 |
33 min
We continue Patricia Arquette August with a look at a film that has no reason to exist and frankly couldn't in 2019: Holy Matrimony. Patricia Arquette plays Havana, a woman down on her luck, who through convoluted plot contrivances, ends up being married to a thirteen-year-old Joseph Gordon-Levitt in his first film role. It's a film that is as bizarre as it is boring with even the fact that it's directed by Star Trek's own Leonard Nimoy not being able to save the tonally inconsistent screenplay from falling flat. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about child marriage, this film's bizarre tone, and comparison's to Harrison Ford's Witness.

The film stars Nicolas Cage as Frank Pierce, an ambulance paramedic who crosses paths with Arquette's Mary over three nights on the drug-riddled streets of New York City. Based on the novel by Joe Connelly, its a look at addiction and loss that couldn't feel more timely. Award-winning screenwriter, Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, Scorsese's b-sides, and why the film isn't as well known.

Body Horror July comes to a close with a film that's part Eraserhead, part Videodrome, but entirely Japanese: Tetsuo: The Iron Man. The film follows a businessman who accidentally murders a metal fetishist who ends up getting his revenge by slowly turning the businessman into a disgusting mass of flesh, metal, and rust. It culminates with a fight scene that has to be seen to be believed including more metal, cords, and rust than any metal fetishist could ever hope for. It's an exciting take on body horror from a uniquely Japanese director and an excellent way to close out the month. Award-winning screenwriter Jess Byard joins Chris once again to talk metal, the fantastic practical effects, and a certain drilldo.

69 min
Body Horror July is on hold for the final time to cover the ninth and latest film from cinematic plagiarist, Quentin Tarantino: Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. The film follows Leonardo DiCaprio as an aging actor attempting to hang on to the last vestiges of his popularity while his stuntman/bodyguard/best friend played by Brad Pitt has a solo adventure through 1969 Hollywood. Margot Robbie is also in the film as Sharon Tate but even Tarantino seems to have forgotten that she was number three billed and a massive presence in the advertising. Highball TV and Canadian director Matt Campagna and The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Tarantino's latest film, why Margot Robbie was even in the film, and the director's filmography and influence as a whole.

Dead Alive
30 juli 2019 |
39 min
Body Horror July nears its conclusion with a look at a film that helped launch the career of one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time even if it features some of the most creative gore in cinema history: Dead Alive. Directed by Peter Jackson, it follows the shy Lionel who falls in love with gorgeous Paquita only to find that his overbearing mother has become an undead ghoul and is attempting to thwart their love even from the grave. It's an inventively gory, over-the-top bloodfest that utilizes every inch of the human body in disgustingly hilarious fashion with a final act that is near bloody perfection. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to chat about Jackson's filmography before and since, the climax of the film, and the interesting connection to Sam Raimi.

The Stuff

Body Horror July hits the halfway point with a look at one of Larry Cohen's writer/director satirical pieces: The Stuff. Michael Moriarty stars as Mo, a business saboteur, who is being paid by the big dessert industry to figure out where The Stuff, a mysterious addictive dessert, comes from. It's a film that relies too much on comedy and satire and not enough on the horrific aspects of how The Stuff transforms folks into desiccated husks. Chris is joined by OughtFive Films' Father Malone to talk about the film, Larry Cohen's body of work, and how 80's body horror falls flat in certain aspects.

Body Horror July is once again put on hold to talk about Marvel's latest blockbuster cinematic universe outing sure to make more money than anyone knows what to do with: Spider-Man: Far From Home. Tom Holland returns as the friendly neighborhood webhead who's school trip to Europe is interrupted by the arrival of elemental monsters bent on destruction and a new mysterious hero played by Jake Gyllenhaal. It's a Spider-Man film so good it'll make you forget it's somehow still being made partially by Sony.

Child's Play (2019)
23 juli 2019 |
50 min
Body Horror July is put on hold to take a look at the latest horror film to be unnecessarily rebooted for no reason other than that sweet, sweet cash: Child's Play. The film follows the same formula as the original film except for the Chucky doll being a malfunctioning animatronic doll as opposed to a doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer. It's a definitively 21st century spin on the tried and true killer doll trope that is more middle of the road than failure or success. Chris is joined once again by award-winning screenwriter Jess Byard to discuss the film, the casting of Mark Hamill as Chucky, and why the film was rated R.

Kuso
22 juli 2019 |
44 min
Body Horror July continues with a look at a film so revolting, shocking, nonsensical, and downright weird that it may be a first for the Kulturecast: Kuso. The film is less of a structured narrative and more of an audio-visual exploration focusing on Los Angeles after a significant earthquake. Inspired by works such as Salad Fingers and other Flying Lotus projects, it's a disturbing, disgusting foray into the mind of Steven Ellison. Chris is joined by award-winning screenwriter Jess Byard to talk about the film, why its on Shudder, and who in their right mind would enjoy the movie.

With Jess Byard June at a close, we now kickoff Body Horror July with a look at the progeny of David Cronenberg's first film, Antiviral. The film follows Caleb Landry Jones as Syd March, a lab technician at a company that sells celebrity viruses, who gets infected with a viral pathogen that is seemingly incurable. He then attempts not only to cure himself but also sell the celebrity virus to the highest bidder. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Brandon Cronenberg's directorial debut, whether or not the film leans into body horror, and Caleb Landry Jones' performance.

The Final Girls
26 juni 2019 |
51 min
Jess Byard June comes to a close with a look at a slasher film that has become not only classic within the summer camp subgenre but also a thoughtful and pointed meta entry along with movies such as Scream: The Final Girls. The film stars Taissa Farmiga as Max, daughter of late scream queen Amanda, who gets transported alongside her friends into her late mother's most well-known film where they attempt to best the killer and change the outcome of the film. Supported by a fantastic cast, pitch-perfect soundtrack, and a script that not only pays homage to its slasher source material but also builds upon it; it's a film that deserves all to become a contemporary cult classic. Award-winning screenwriter and namesake of the month Jess Byard joins Chris once again to talk the movie, it's the use of color and sound, and why it hasn't become better known.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning
19 juni 2019 |
49 min
Jess Byard June nears its conclusion with a look one of the Friday the 13th films that seem to care less about continuity and canon and more about giving the viewer tits and gore: Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. The film follows the further exploits of Tommy Jarvis, the young boy who killed Jason Voorhees in the previous film, as he is now a troubled adult who begins to hallucinate that Jason is still alive possibly. These hallucinations follow him to a summer camp-like halfway house where carnage, nudity, and drug use seemingly wakes the silent killer once more. It's an interesting entry into a franchise not known for taking risks with some of those risks paying off and others falling completely flat. Award-winning screenwriter and namesake of the month Jess Byard joins Chris to talk fake Jason, the use of nudity in the film, and where it stands in the overall franchise.

Jess Byard June continues with a look at a film that we guarantee you've probably never heard of, but you've seen some of the folks getting sliced and diced in it: Cheerleader Camp. The film stars future Saw franchise star Betsy Russell as a cheerleader whos trip to a cheerleading summer camp with her troupe is interrupted by a maniacal serial killer bent on killing everyone close to her. It's a late entry into the summer camp slasher horror subgenre that has some fascinating ideas but ultimately fails to differentiate itself from better films that came before it. OughtFive Film's Father Malone joins Chris as they breakdown the film, weird mascot sex dreams, and casting porn stars as actresses in horror movies.

The Burning

32 min
With Stanley Kubrick Month in the rearview mirror, it's time to talk horny summer campers, sadistic slashers, and a ton of nudity with Jess Byard June. To kick off the aforementioned month, we'll be taking a look at one of the few summer camp slasher flicks that were hard to find in its uncut form until recently The Burning. The film features a veritable cavalcade of then up, and coming talent who would go on to have successful careers such as Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter and some significant effects work from the legendary Tom Savini. While the film doesn't feature the most memorable villain or the most original plot, it's a worthy entry into the summer camp slasher subgenre. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Cropsey's weapon of choice, the film's use of style, and whether it deserves the praise it gets.

Barry Lyndon
30 maj 2019 |
45 min
The Kulturecast wraps up Stanley Kubrick Month with a film that many have derided as the auteur's most indulgent and meandering: Barry Lyndon. The film follows the roguish titular character, played sleepily by Ryan O'Neal, as he wanders through 18th century England getting involved in a series of adventures and misadventures. It's not regarded as one of Kubrick's finest films but it is widely appreciated as yet another technical masterpiece due to his staunch requirement to film only by natural light. Chris is joined by OughtFive Film's Father Malone to talk about the film, how it's aged since its release, and how it may just be a technical masterpiece.

The Kulturecast continues Stanley Kubrick Month with a look at not only his last film but also his most controversial film: Eyes Wide Shut. The film stars real-life couple at the time Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as an on-screen couple whose relationship is tested when Cruise enters the bizarre underworld of a sex cult. Derided by many at the time as Kubrick's weakest film, Eyes Wide Shut has aged in the last two decades into not only one of the auteur's most beautiful movies but also an exciting look into the reality of the relationships that drive us as humans. Chris is joined by award-winning screenwriter Jess Byard to talk about the film; its place in Kubrick's filmography, and how the film has benefitted from age.

The Kulturecast kicks off Stanley Kubrick Month with a look at the famed auteur's freshman film The Killing. The film stars Sterling Hayden and a veritable cast of characters that are caught up in Hayden's plot to rip off a horse racing track for millions of dollars. While the attempt goes sideways, the film is one of Kubrick's finest and one that still stands up as a prime example of the director's impressive abilities. Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to talk about the film, whether it's noir or not, and the legendary character actor Timothy Carey.

Money Movers
18 april 2019 |

Long live Mike White March! As opposed to ending the month with a bang, it ends with a whimper, that whimper being Bruce Beresford's Money Movers. The film is a mediocre take on a crime/heist drama that ends up dragging more than being an interesting entry into the genre. It does feature Bryan Brown of FX fame, however, which is always a plus. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris for one last ride into the Outback to tackle the disappointing film, some talk about the Oscars, and general cinema chit chat.

43 min
As we near the end of Mike White March, we come upon the curious case of Mad Dog Morgan, a film that benefits having prior knowledge about the insane behind the scenes machinations due to the powerhouse of acting that was Dennis Hopper. Starring the Hopper mentioned above, the film follows the exploits of the infamous bushranger and all around ne'er-do-well Dan "Mad Dog" Morgan as he caused trouble for the Australian government in the mid-1800s. Dennis Hopper's offscreen antics translate to a true method performance as the unhinged Morgan along with some cinema verite style that is reminiscent of Alejandro Jodorowsky. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris once again to talk Hopper's performance, the translation from page to screen, and more familiar faces from Aussie cinema.

Us

65 min
It's finally here, the long-awaited sophomore film from Academy Award-winning writer/director of Get Out Jordan Peele: Us. While touching on similar topics to Get Out including racial tension, socio-economic divide, and class warfare, the film follows a family who is plagued while on vacation by a group of doppelgangers who hold a sinister secret. With standout performances from Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke, the film is an interesting follow up the Peele's freshman outing and one that attempts world and mythology building with varying degrees of success. Chris and Eric are joined by award-winning screenwriter Jess Byard to talk the year's most hotly anticipated horror film along with if it's a worthy successor to Peele's modern genre classic and where he goes from here.

The Man from Hong Kong
13 mars 2019 |
39 min
Continuing Mike White March, we come to The Man from Hong Kong, a unique kung-fu film that lacks a charismatic lead but has all the trappings of a truly standout Ozploitation film. Directed by Ozploitation legend Brian Trenchard-Smith, the film stars Jimmy Wang Yu as the previously mentioned stale lead who is surrounded by some of Australia's finest exploitation actors including one-time James Bond George Lazenby who chews through the scenery every chance he gets. It's a more enjoyable experience than Stone with different problems that hamper it. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Wang Yu's robotic performance, Lazenby's fantastic turn as a villain, and the film's fantastic climax.

Captain Marvel
12 mars 2019 |
62 min
We're taking a quick break from Mike White March to catch up with the final Marvel Cinematic Universe film before the hotly anticipated Avengers: Endgame, that film being Captain Marvel. Centering around the eponymous character and her struggle to reclaim her place in the world all the while protecting Earth from the warring factions of the Kree and Skrull, it's an exciting diversion backward into the history of the MCU. While struggling from many of the issues the early MCU origin story films experienced, its ultimately a good not great introduction to a character who will have massive implications on the MCU as a whole. Filmmaker Matt Campagna joins Chris to breakdown the film, spoilers and all, including the buddy cop aspect, Brie Larson's performance, and what the film means for Endgame.

Stone (1974)
7 mars 2019 |
32 min
It's that time of the year again where we turn over the reigns of programming to The Projection Booth's Mike White for the second annual Mike White March. This year's films are all Ozploitation, focusing on the best exploitation films Australia has to offer, and this month is kicked off with Stone. A biker film that was a precursor to the more popular stateside Mad Max, the film follows the eponymous Stone, an undercover cop, who joins the Gravedigger biker gang to try and determine who is killing them one by one. It's a novel premise that ultimately falls flat as it fails to build upon the initial albeit exciting idea. Chris is joined by Mike White to talk about the film, its lasting influence on both American and Australian cinema, and the always fantastic Hugh Keays-Byrne.

Tiptoes
22 februari 2019 |
49 min
Thanks to our latest Patreon patron, we were tasked with taking a look at one of the most baffling films of the early '00s, Tiptoes. Not only does the film star a veritable whos who of know famous and award-winning actors the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Gary Oldman, Peter Dinklage, and Patricia Arquette, but it also attempts to tackle a serious topic: dwarfism. McConaughey stars as Steve, a normal man from a family of dwarfs who knocks up his girlfriend, played by Kate Beckinsale, only to be unable to come to terms with the fact their child may be a dwarf. It's a bizarre, tonally inconsistent film that has to be seen to be believed. Chris and Eric discuss the film, Gary Oldman as a dwarf, and why it's seemingly gone under the radar for so long.

It's finally here! The yearly Kulturecast wrap-up where we talk our favorite films, least favorite, and everything in between for the year in film that was 2018.

Drunken Master II or The Legend of the Drunken Master, as it was released stateside, is one of Jackie Chan's finest films and an example of what happens when kung-fu, comedy, and a well-written story are combined into something truly magical. The film follows Jackie as Wong Fei-hung who must stop a group of foreigners who are hell-bent on stealing precious antiques from the Chinese countryside. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk a whole bunch of drunken fighting moves, a climax for the ages, and the best Jackie Chan movie of the month.

Armour of God
8 januari 2019 |

Armour of God is the first film in Jackie Chan's Armour of God trilogy, despite what the hacks over Miramax would have you believe in their release of the film. The film follows the exploits of Jackie as well, Jackie a.k.a. Asian Hawk, as he must help his former bandmate Alan procure the pieces of the Armour of God for a cult that has kidnapped his girlfriend. It's a mash-up between James Bond and Indiana Jones with a healthy dose of chopsocky thrown in for good measure. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk Amazonian assassins, hot air balloons, and Jackie's near-death experience.

9 november 2018 |
78 min
Suspiria (2018) is the hotly anticipated remake of the Dario Argento Giallo classic, and it takes the story and tone of the original film and does something wholly unique and innovative with it. Operating within the loosely defined confines of the original plot, the film follows Susie Bannion played by Dakota Johnson as she becomes the newest member of the Markos School of Dance only to find herself thrust into a plot to revitalize an ancient witch. Chris and Eric are joined by award-winning writer Jess Byard to talk about the Guadagnino's polarizing re-imagining of the film along with more than a little analysis of the film's actual lead, Tilda Swinton.

Halloween (2018) returns the franchise to its roots with the first true sequel to the original film that looks to rewrite the worst parts of the franchise while creating a new canonical storyline. Focusing on the struggle between a wisened Laurie Strode and a grizzled Michael Myers, Halloween (2018) tries to have its cake and eat it too by offering the original characters a worthy ending while attempting to set up a new line of sequels. Chris and Eric have a spoiler-filled discussion on the overhyped entry in the franchise that seems to be able to do no wrong.

The Taking of Deborah Logan is another entry into the found footage genre that falls into every trap that the subgenre has to offer including being outright boring while also attempting to shock the audience. Written and directed by Adam Robitel, the film presents some interesting ideas about possession and disease but it ultimately falls short of being both a successful horror film or a worthy entry into the found footage subgenre. Chris and Eric are joined by award-winning writer Jess Byard to discuss both the film and the year the film came out along with a discussion on the state of found footage in 2018.

The Conspiracy is the directorial debut from writer/director Christopher MacBride and it sets itself apart from the found-footage/reality horror subgenre by focusing on real-world events along with crafting a believable narrative. It's a unique twist on the found-footage subgenre that works outside of the normal confines of the typical horror film to craft something wholly original, convincing, and terrifying all at the same time. Chris and Eric give their spoiler-free thoughts on the film along with interviews with the film's co-leads Aaron Poole (Aaron) and James Gilbert (Jim).

The Predator

The Predator is not only the sixth film in the Predator franchise but also the first directed by Shane Black who previously starred in the first film. The film follows Boyd Holbrook and Jacob Tremblay as father and son who must work together with a group of PTSD-afflicted soldiers to not only fight back against the titular alien but also against the US military. It's a jumbled, poorly edited mess that doesn't live up to its potential and squanders the talents of everyone involved. Mike White joins Chris and Eric to talk about the film and its disappointing place in the Predator canon.

Kiru (Kill!)
13 september 2018 |
44 min
Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to kick off Samurai September with a look at Kiru, a sendup of the samurai genre that utilizes humor and parody over stone-faced samurai. The film follows a former farmer and a former samurai who wander into a desolate town only to get swept into a power struggle between a clanlord and seven of his samurai who turn on him. It's a humorous take on the genre and worthy samurai film in its own right.

This Film is Not Yet Rated
30 augusti 2018 |
50 min
Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White once again to finish out Documentary Month with a look at This Film is Not Yet Rated, a look at the secretive Motion Picture Association of America (the MPAA). The film takes a look at the inherent hypocrisy and censorship that the association levels against filmmakers who want their films released. It's a lighter film than any of the month's previous films and one drives a dagger straight into the heart of film censorship.

The film chronicles the rise of the military-industrial complex in the United States since the farewell address from President Eisenhower warned the country against the rise of it.

The film stars Robert Hooks as the titular private eye, hustler, fixer, who is drawn into a web of danger when is framed for the murder of a crime boss' enforcer.

The film is the freshman effort from writer/director Ari Aster and stars Toni Collette as a miniaturist who, after losing her mother, watches as she and her family descend into madness. It's another horror film in the vein of The Witch and The Babadook but not in a good way in either regard.

Starring Alden Ehrenreich as the charismatic titular pilot, the film follows his early years from street rat to the roguish pilot of the Millenium Falcon in A New Hope.

Chris is joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to talk Robert Rodriguez's Desperado, the sequel/remake of his freshman effort El Mariachi.

Along the way, he's joined by Salma Hayek to try and take down the local crime boss in an all-out war. It's a hyper-stylized action sequel that doesn't live up to the premise.

Let's talk about an action sequel that has no redeeming qualities: 300: Rise of an Empire. It's got slow-mo, nudity, and bad acting; how fun!

Body Double
1 maj 2018 |
41 min
Chris and Eric are joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to round out Brian De Palma Month with a look at one of the director's more salacious films Body Double. The film stars Craig Wasson as a claustrophobia-stricken actor who thinks that he sees a murder while house-sitting for a rich Los Angeleno. It's De Palma's most obvious tribute to the progenitor of suspenseful thrillers Alfred Hitchcock while also featuring some truly unique visuals and even Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Chris is joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to talk one of Brian De Palma's lesser-known films that may actually be in contention for his best, Blow Out. It features a rare performance from John Travolta that doesn't suck, go figure.

Ecstasy of the Angels
29 mars 2018 |
37 min
Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to round out Mike White March with a look at Kôji Wakamatsu's Ecstasy of the Angels. The film follows two warring factions as they attempt to cause a revolution in Japan during the early '70s. The film veers farther into experimental cinema than any film this month and definitely isn't a film for everyone.

Chris and Eric head to a mysterious island full of tombs and raiders with a look at yet another attempt to make a video game movie worth watching, Tomb Raider. The film stars Alicia Vikander as the titular hero who is tasked with stopping a mysterious sinister organization from finding a centuries-old weapon hidden away in the Pacific. It's a middle of the road video game movie which, for video game movies, isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Eros + Massacre
20 mars 2018 |
53 min
Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to continue Mike White March with a look at quite possibly the finest example of Japanese New Wave cinema, Yoshishige Yoshida's Eros + Massacre. The film focuses on two separate storylines: the final days of anarchist Sakae Ōsugi before his assassination and the lives of two students Eiko and Wada as they research the teachings and philosophy of Ōsugi. It's a three and a half hour epic that traverses separate timelines and multiple characters and their lives.

The Strangers: Prey at Night
19 mars 2018 |
60 min
Chris and Eric tackle one of their most anticipated films of 2018 and a sequel to one of the greatest horror films ever made The Strangers: Prey at Night. The film follows a family taking their troubled daughter to boarding school when they are attacked, hunted, and systematically picked off by the murderous trio from the first film. It's a stylish follow up to the bleak original and fails to live up to the hype of a decade.

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to continue Mike White March with a look at Toshio Matsumoto's Funeral Parade of Roses.

Red Sparrow
9 mars 2018 |
61 min
Chris and Eric break-down the first new release of March with Red Sparrow. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian espionage agent tasked with finding a double agent within the Russian government. It's a film that focuses more on over-the-top sexual violence and stale dialogue than telling an interesting and compelling story all while casually attempting to be 2018's answer to Atomic Blonde. They also wrap-up the 90th Academy Awards where The Shape of Water took home the headlining award.

Death by Hanging
8 mars 2018 |

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to kick off Mike White March with a look at the first Japanese New Wave film, Nagisa Ôshima's Death by Hanging. The film follows R, an ethnic Korean living in Japan, who survives being executed by hanging only to have his entire life and being examined by the Japanese justice system. It's a black comedy that turns the mirror on not only Japanese culture but also the criminal justice system and racism.

Annihilation
2 mars 2018 |
66 min
Chris and Eric talk about the first truly great film of 2018 and next fantastic entry from the director Ex-Machina Alex Garland, Annihilation. The film stars Natalie Portman as Lena, a cellular biologist, who goes on a journey into the Shimmer, a mysterious area caused by a meteor, that may hold the secret to saving her husband. It's high science fiction with a heavy helping of philosophy and just the right amount of weird fiction thrown in for good measure.

The Truth About Cats & Dogs
28 februari 2018 |
58 min
Chris and Eric are joined by oughtfivefilm's Mike Wallace to talk the final romantic comedy of rom-com month, The Truth About Cats & Dogs. The film stars Janeane Garofalo and Uma Thurman as two women who get dragged into a comedy of errors surrounding a guy, a mistaken identity, and a dog on roller skates. It's a retelling of Cyrano De Bergerac but with more Blues Traveler and a heaping helping of cliched '90s tropes that haven't aged very well.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
12 februari 2018 |
49 min
Chris and Eric kick off Rom-Com Month with a look at one of the classics Breakfast at Tiffany's. The film stars Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a New Yorker with her sights set on the big time who meets the man of her dreams in her apartment building. It's a film that hasn't aged well and is full of anachronisms including an astoundingly racist Mickey Rooney.

Chris and Eric are joined by OughtFiveFilm’s Mike Wallace and Rainbow Comic's Zach Pogany to talk the final film of David Lynch month Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film follows up the first two seasons of the show while filling in the backstory of who Laura Palmer was leading up to the day of her death and the mysterious murder of Teresa Banks.

Blue Velvet
18 januari 2018 |
64 min
Chris is sans Eric but joined by Rainbow Comics' Zach Pogany and InkFilmsInc's Oscar Moreno to talk David Lynch's most mainstream film Blue Velvet. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan as Jeffrey Beaumont, a college student who returns home only to find a disembodied human ear behind in the woods behind his house. This discovery leads him to discover the disturbing underbelly of his sleepy little town including one of cinema's most horrifying villains Frank Booth portrayed by Dennis Hopper. It's one of Lynch's finest films and a truly disturbing take on small-town America's dirty little secrets.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
21 december 2017 |
93 min
Chris and Eric are joined by director Matt Campagna and Rainbow Comic's Zach Pogany to talk the most surprisingly controversial film of the year: Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The film picks up immediately where The Force Awakens left off and follows the return of Luke Skywalker, the surviving resistance forces escaping the Starkiller Base, and the continued rise of Kylo Ren. It's a film that shirks the conventions of the franchise in a way that has left some fans disappointed while other fans applaud the bold new direction of the series.

Justice League

Chris and Eric are joined by director Matt Campagna to talk the latest misstep in the troubled DC Comics Extended Universe Justice League. The film stars Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ben Affleck, Ezra Miller, Henry Cavill, and Ray Fisher as the eponymous team who must fight an interstellar threat from destroying Earth. It's a poorly conceived film that does little to alleviate the persistent issues with the budding franchise.

Casino

78 min
Chris and Eric are joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to talk Martin Scorsese's spiritual sequel to Goodfellas also featuring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Casino. The film follows De Niro as Sam Rothstein, a bookie who is tasked with running the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas, and Pesci as Nicky Santoro, a mobster who is tasked with protecting De Niro and the mob's investment. It's a fantastic film that is a worthy film to Goodfellas and works as a great standalone gangster film.

Chris and Eric are joined by director Matt Campagna as they talk Marvel's newest film and the third Thor film Thor: Ragnarok. The film reunites Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk as they battle to escape Skaar and prevent the total destruction of Asgard. Along the way, he is joined by Loki, Valkyrie, and some newcomers as they fight Hela and her undead minions. It's the most comedic Marvel film yet and a welcome reprieve from the last two Thor films.

The King of Comedy
7 november 2017 |
47 min
Chris and Eric kick off their Martin Scorsese retrospective with a look at a film that is a perfect companion piece to Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy. The film stars Robert DeNiro as Rupert Pupkin, a delusional up-and-coming comedian, who goes to unfathomable lengths to attempt to win the favor of Jerry Lewis' Jerry Langford and become a stand-up comedian. It's a film that is as prescient as ever in our current society and a rough watch.

The Snowman
24 oktober 2017 |
53 min
Chris and Eric tackle what may be the worst film of 2017, the film adaptation of Jo Nesbø's best-selling Harry Hole novel The Snowman. The film stars Michael Fassbender as the alcoholic detective is being taunted in Oslo, Norway by a serial killer obsessed with building snowmen at the site of each of his crimes. It's a massive disappointment due to the amount of fantastic talent both in front of and behind the camera as well as being a wholly underwhelming first attempt at a Harry Hole film adaptation.

Chris and Eric wrap up Schwarzenegger September with a look at not only Arnie's first dramatic role but also his first zombie film Maggie. The film stars Arnie as a father tasked with taking care of his daughter, played by Abigail Breslin, who is slowly succumbing to a zombie plague. It's a reserved, quieter film than we are used to with the bombastic Austrian but in a good way.

Chris is joined by Crimson Son author Russ Linton to talk about a film that may or may not be a love story between Deadpool and Nick Fury: The Hitman's Bodyguard. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson as a bodyguard tasked with protecting a psychotic hitman who is needed at a prosecution of a warlord. It's a buddy comedy that hits some of the right notes but misses the mark as well.

The Dark Tower
10 augusti 2017 |

Chris and Eric are joined by Crimson Son author Russ Linton to journey to Mid-World for a look at an adaptation ten years in the making The Dark Tower. The film stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black as Roland attempts to stop the oncoming darkness and save the Dark Tower. It's a lackluster, muddied affair that falls flat and hurts any chances of future adaptations of King's seminal piece.

Chris and Eric talk a summer blockbuster that is a little John Wick, a little Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and a whole lot of Charlize Theron murdering Russian baddies in Atomic Blonde. The film stars Theron as Lorraine Broughton, an MI6 agent tasked with retrieving a list of double agents in Cold War-era Berlin.

Hot to Trot

52 min
Chris and Eric continue with their look at sports films with one of the '80s worst sports films Hot to Trot. It stars Bobcat Goldthwait as a stockbroker who happens upon a talking horse, voiced by John Candy, who teaches him about love, life, and horse cocks. It's as bad as it sounds and nearly as funny as it should be.

The film stars Scott as Gary Housman, a disgraced former tennis player who picks up the racket one last time to teach Nebraska high schoolers how to win again.

Get Out

73 min
Chris and Eric talk Jordan Peele's directorial horror debut Get Out. The film stars Daniel Kaluuya as Chris who goes to visit his girlfriend's family in the country only to find out everything is not as it seems. It's one hell of a directorial debut and also a really well-done horror film that harkens back to Rosemary's Baby in more ways than one.

Chris is joined by frequent guest Candace Perez and Tactical Girls director Matt Campagna talk Mike Judge's Idiocracy, a film that has become shockingly relevant in 2017. The film stars Luke Wilson as the amazingly average Joe Bauer, a soldier who is part of an experiment that accidentally sends him too far into the future.

It's our 200th episode and what better way to celebrate the occasion than watching one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's worst films End of Days with Mike White, host of The Projection Booth. Schwarzenegger takes on Gabriel Byrne's scenery-chewing as everyone's fallen angel in this stinker of a film that begs the question: how do not have Arnold fighting the Dark Lord with a rocket launcher in the closing minutes of your film? That answer and more inside!

The film follows Jamie as he is drawn into the charismatic orbit of John Bunting, a homophobic vigilante looking to dole out justice to Australia's pedophiles and homosexuals.

Chris and Sean begin Video Game Movie Month with a look at Doom, featuring the highest paid actor in Hollywood, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The film stars Dennis Quaid as a disillusioned dragon hunter who must team with Draco, played by Sean Connery, to not only con unsuspecting towns out of their money but also take down a tyrant king.

1 november 2016 |
64 min
Chris is joined once again by Wovoka's Eric Kniss to round out Horrortober with a look at Rob Zombie's remake of the classic Halloween. The film takes a decidedly more Michael Myers centric approach to the film with tons more gore than the first film. It's gory, unique, and distinctly Rob Zombie.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
4 oktober 2016 |

Chris and Sean kick-off the third year of Horrortober with a look at a wholly unnecessary remake of a truly classic horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). The film stars Jackie Earle Haley on the scarred serial killer, Freddy Krueger, as he torments, maims, and murders the teenagers of Elm Street. It's a remake that does little to build upon the original and in doing so does little to stand on its own. We also talk our picks for this week's Stream Police.

Chris and Sean are smack dab in the middle of Nicolas Cage retrospective with their look at another film that garnered Nic Cage another Oscar nomination Adaptation.. The film stars Cage as Charlie and Donald Kaufman, one of which is tasked with adapting Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief into a feature film. He fights to keep it true to the source material but ends up becoming lost in the process and lost in his own neurotic mind. It's an interesting meta film that feels right at home with other Spike Jonze/Charlie Kaufman films.

Red Dawn (2012)
27 november 2015 |
32 min
Sean and Chris, joined by senior editor Zach Wickwire, finish up Not-So-Newvember with the remake of Red Dawn from 2012. The film follows Chris Hemsworth and Josh Peck as two brothers who have to fight the Chinese/North Korean/Nondescript Asian invasion in Washington. It's a hokey, bland action movie that exists to profit off the name recognition of the original, and instill true patriotism in the audience.

It's time to kick off Horrortober with one of the most exciting and interesting films out this year: Creep. The film features Patrick Brice as a man with a camera hired to film Mark Duplass' last days on Earth before he passes away from cancer. The film starts innocently enough but quickly devolves into a psychological game of terror between the two. Along with a review of the film, we also speak with the director/actor Patrick Brice about directing and starring in the film, what was changed, and what the future holds for Creep.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
1 oktober 2015 |
55 min
We close out Singin' September with the first, and possibly only, internet musical: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. We are joined by guest co-hosts co-writer of Freaked Tim Burns and author Russ Linton to talk about the cult classic directed by Joss Whedon. It features Neil Patrick Harris as the eponymous doctor who is dead set on upending the status quo by taking down his nemesis played by the smug Nathan Fillion. Along the way he also tries to get Penny, played by Felicia Day, to fall in love with him. It's a classic tale of mad scientist gets girl, mad scientist makes freeze ray, mad scientist becomes super-villain.

As we near the end of our Singin' September marathon, we noticed one film hadn't made our list that many of our readers had requested: The Nightmare Before Christmas. So we decided, why not talk about one of Disney's most memorable musicals. The film tells the tale of Jack Skellington, one of the members of Halloween Town, as he stumbles across Christmas Town, and then wants to kidnap Sandy Claws so he can replace him. The film features some iconic music from Danny Elfman, the signature stop-motion direction of Henry Selnick, and a story from one of the master storytellers, Tim Burton.

On this week's Kulturecast we, along with frequent guest co-host Sean Liang, close in on the end of our Singin' September marathon with another stage to screen adaptation: Reefer Madness. A parody of the 1930's propaganda film, the film follows Christian Campbell and Kristin Bell as they are taken over by the effects of the devil weed, and sink into decadence and depravity. It also features Alan Cumming, John Kassir, Steven Weber, Ana Gasteyer, and Neve Campbell in a cameo role. It's a hilarious send-up of 1930's America, along with some truly inspired musical numbers.

We continue on with our Page to Screen month, where we look at films that are based off of books, with the 1999 live-action version of Animal Farm. The book deals with the terror of communism as shown allegorically through animals taking back a farm from the farmers.

It's an interesting film that is not for kids, even though it was made by Hallmark and features talking animals. We also spoke with John Stephenson, who directed the film, about what it was like to work with animal performers and animatronics.

The Man with No Name Trilogy
9 juli 2015 |
70 min
Our Salute to Westerns moseys on with the most iconic trilogy of westers: The Man With No Name trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad and the Ugly). They feature Clint Eastwood as the eponymous Man with No Name as he traverses the West, gunning down outlaws, pitting warring families against one another, and searching for buried Confederate gold. The films were all directed by the master auteur of westerns Sergio Leone, and scored impeccably by Ennio Morricone, and have gone to be the finest example of spaghetti westerns in the genre.
