cult movies

Halloween is here once again, and while the season is still in full swing, we thought we'd take a look at a John Carpenter-produced sequel that (temporarily, at least) took his beloved horror franchise into entirely new territory. Halloween III: Season of the Witch, directed by Carpenter's regular collaborator Tommy Lee Wallace, might be one of the kookiest big-studio horror films ever made, kicking Michael Myers to the curb and replacing him with something altogether unexpected. Chris and Nick explore this wild and crazy corner of the extended Carpenter universe (featuring another killer musical score co-written by J.C. and more terrific cinematography by future Oscar-winner Dean Cundey), and make some futile attempts at solving its many mysteries. What mysteries, you ask? Well, for starters, what kind of drugs were the writers of this film on (and, where can we get some)? What, exactly, is the movie's villain -- the somewhat Willy Wonka-esque Conal Cochran -- trying to accomplish with his sinister plot to gruesomely murder America's children on Halloween night? And, um, how does middle-aged Tom Atkins keep ending up in bed with attractive, much younger women in all of these Carpenter movies? Maybe a content warning is in order, here: this episode contains A LOT more profanity than your average Precinct 13  outing, but we think it's pretty well justified -- this movie isn't just crazy, it's f*cking crazy.  Anyway, we've got all of that, plus a few more recommendations for your spooky seasonal viewing pleasure, on a very special Halloween episode -- put on your Silver Shamrock mask and enjoy!

In this episode, we have a very special guest, filmmaker David Michael Latt. He is one of the founders of the Asylum, a prolific film studio that has distributed and produced hundreds of films, ranging from art-house to Sharknado. David and the Asylum have carved out their place in Hollywood by focusing on the type of films audiences crave like genre pictures and mockbusters. Their budgets may not be as large as the giant film studios, but they deliver high-quality entertainment with raving fans and a giant catalog for streaming. While other film studios have gone on hiatus during the pandemic, the Asylum continues to make movies by adapting their film sets to meet COVID compliance. This interview is chock full of trivia, juicy show-biz stories, and the insider scoop on movie production.

How's this for a change of pace: this week, we're talking about two films that John Carpenter didn't direct! However, both 1978's Eyes of Laura Mars and 1986's Black Moon Rising began their existence as Carpenter screenplays (both, eventually, re-worked by other writers), and we'd be missing out on a lot of Carpenter completionist cred if we didn't check them out!  In a discussion that somehow ends up winding its way through early 80s west coast punk rock, the recent Suspiria remake, and the magnificent (and persistent!) uni-brow of Mr. Tommy Lee Jones, Chris and Nick seek out the nuggets of quintessential Carpenter in these two VHS-era movies -- and consider whether they're essential viewing for the filmmaker's fans.

A little strawberry lager to go with a deep dive into this cult classic "The Beyond," from Italian director Lucio Fulci. So grab a drink and join Andy and Lucas here for the conversation that follows into this "advanced fever dream!" 

The movie goes a little like this...The cellar of an old hotel is built on top of the door to the beyond. Bloody zombies roam there. A young woman who is heir of the hotel wants to restore it, but she is confronted with a series of strange events. A painter has a lethal fall, the plumber vanishes, and her friend breaks his neck. When she escapes to the hospital of a friendly doctor she doesn't know - a nightmare is waiting there... Written in part by Matthias Luehr.

Sorry for the delay on this episode... we seem to have run out of bubblegum. But, for those who've been patiently waiting for the conclusion of our discussion of Carpenter's 1988 sci-fi/action satire They Live, we've got a whole lot of show for you! This week, Chris and Nick break the film down beat-by-beat, with an eye on its sharp character moments, the witty critiques of 80s-era media and consumer culture, that deservedly famous fight scene between "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Keith David, and SO much more! We can just about guarantee that, no matter how big a fan of this cult classic you are, we've singled out some things that you've never even thought about before -- you'll never see that garbage truck scene the same way again. Put your sunglasses on and enjoy! And, please join us in two weeks (we promise!) for a very special episode that takes us back to the very beginning of Carpenter's filmmaker career.

Kathy Mark and Burk take a trip to the wild, sketchy side of town with Paul Hackett and Jeff Lebowski…. the persecuted heroes of Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS and Coen Brothers' THE BIG LEBOWSKI respectively. Two movies about characters who find themselves descending deeper and deeper into weirdness and suffering as they struggle to survive and find their way home. Do these movies still hold up? Are they time capsules? Are they realistic depictions of downtown artists, punk rockers, nihilists and the various underground types? Revisit hell with the Cinemondo gang.

SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains MAJOR SPOILERS which means important story details will be revealed. We always advise listeners to: Watch First Listen Later.

On our third episode we are talking about the 1988 classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This movie by the Chiodo brothers is a great example of 80's practical effects. It's funny, its gory, its a lot of fun. We hope you like it!

What's the most '70s movie of all time? The arguable choice is Brian dePalma's 1974 horror musical, "Phantom of the Paradise." With a rocky production history that included being sued by Led Zeppelin, the under-appreciated cult treasure can only be compared to "Rocky Horror," which was released the following year.

It's the dead of winter, and what better movie to, er, celebrate the season with than Carpenter's snowbound sci-fi/horror masterpiece, The Thing? Chris and Nick have been eagerly anticipating the chance to discuss this film (Nick's favorite entry in the Carpenter canon), and on this episode, they tackle The Thing's origins, its themes of paranoia and isolation, and -- of course -- the incredible visual effects that can make even modern audiences squirm. This week's episode focuses on the first half of the film, where its bleak worldview, memorable cast of characters, and endlessly shape-shifting creature are established, and, next time around, we'll tackle the film's spectacular second half, the effect its release had on Carpenter's career, and the cult-classic status it took decades to develop. You knew we'd have a lot to say about this one, so bundle up and join us -- and, yes, we promise it's really us!
