ACM's Vault of Cult - Movie Podcast.

We're Back!!! The podcast returns with a bang!! Night Folk in the afternoon DJ Andrew Norton joins Andee to discuss 70's cult folk horror classic, The Blood on Satan's Claw and 1991 almost forgotten Japanese anime Only Yesterday.

30 years on I revisit this personal favourite. It bombed so hard at the time but honestly it made me laugh so hard when I was 11 years old, it introduced me to Chris Farley and made me an even bigger fan of Dan Aykroyd. Would I still be amused all these years later? Ipswich based comic, songwriter and author Robin Dicker watched it for the first time, here are our thoughts.

A movie I remember seeing advertised like crazy growing up, I'd never actually watched it..... UNTIL NOW! It's a personal favourite of my guest Chris Asker, here's our chat about all things Hudson Hawk. The views on this podcast are not always that of ACM's Vault of Cult but that of the individual.

This 1997 Rom-com had the stars and a big cinema release but did not preform at the Box Office and is now forgotten. Had the cinema going public gotten it wrong and this darker movie for Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick was ahead of it's time and deserves another look, or was it simply a misjudgement that is best left in the bargain bin of a now abandoned blockbuster video? I'm a fan of the...

I was at my local multiplex on an evening off, I'd seen pretty much everything apart from Fast X, I was about to buy a ticket when I noticed there was a screening of Thelma and Louise, a 30 plus year old movie I had never seen. I figured I'd give it a go. Although not really the kind of film we cover on the show I thought I would talk about my thoughts briefly and tell you about some futur...

In our first episode of 2023 we focus on 1985 flop Explorers, a movie I had never seen but certainly been aware of for quite some time. Ipswich based artist/illustrator Ian Pointer grew up with the movie, he rewatched it, I watched it for the first time and we had a chat about our thoughts. Is it an underrated should be classic or one that should remain in at the bottom of a blockbuster bargain bi...

A Christmas treat that I watched over and over on video as a kid. It was shown on a regular basis on T.V for years but now seems forgotten. Owen from The Pookajee Players joins me for a chat about this should be classic. He's new to this film..... will he enjoy it as much as me or has nostalgia clouded my views? Our final podcast of 2022. We'll be back with more very soon.

A movie that seemed to be on TV every week in the UK in the early 90s, everybody I knew as a kid seemed to love it but one I never got around to watching. Remembered now for being an early starring role for Nicole Kidman, this movie didn't take world by storm but those who did see it seemed to enjoy it.  A childhood favourite of King Street Cinema's James Rowe, we watched it and recorded this...

Ernest is a popular character is America and although not a hit at the box office this has become a Halloween favourite over there. One I enjoyed very much as a kid and still like to this day but I'm in the minority?  In the UK, most haven't even heard of the lovable character. I showed it to podcast regular James Rowe (King Cinema Ipswich) Would he enjoy it also or have my views been clouded...

A movie that had certainly passed me by over the 35 years since it's release. Buddy cop movie, sci-fi, horor,action, comedy... it has it all. Recommended by James from King Street Cinema Ipswich, We sat down watched it and had a chat. ....I'm glad we did, a real treat.

A Massive talent??? well I think so. I chat with fellow Cage fan Dave Kennington about two 90's Cage based movies that can be loosely linked through Elvis. These are two I loved growing up but what will a newcomer think and do I think they hold up?

In this special episode we go back even further than the 80's and 90's and focus on a movie from the 1950's. Although made well before our time many 80s kids in the UK were brought up on comedies from this era on television, shown less these days they were popular summer holiday and weekend viewing for many of us. Norman Wisdom was my favourite comedian to star in these movies and this was the fil...

After 3 Superman movies it was time for a spin off. Problems with production may have been the cause to the first failure in the franchise, audiences may have become bored with the format or was it simply a bad movie? Another movie I grew up enjoying and still do. I chat with Dan Champion from King Street cinema, who saw the movie in the cinema as a kid and Movie critic Barnaby Page, who had never...

The mid 90s comic book movies were beginning to become hot property, studios were buying up the rights to whatever they could, trying to find the next Batman or The Crow. 1995 saw the release of Tank Girl, one I caught on video and really got in to. A mad plot, killer grungy/punk soundtrack and kangaroos ..... what's not to like??? Movie movie bombed and really hurt the careers of many involved, i...

After Star Wars in the late 70's sci-fi was huge on both the big screen and on TV, Buck Rogers in the 25th century was one of my favourite shows growing up. I had no idea the pilot episode was released in cinemas and although it's pretty much forgotten it was a huge hit. I showed the movie to James Rowe, who had not seen it before. Would he love it as much as me???

In the first of our mini comic book movie season we focus on Return of Swamp Thing. Jim Wynorski's more comic follow up to Wes Craven's 1984 Swamp thing. Dick Durock returns as our hero, Louis Jourdan as our villain and Heather Locklear joins the mix. In this campy take on the DC character. One of my favs as a youngster, I showed it to my friend and former radio co-host Antonia, who is a fan of th...

In 1986 a sci-fi fantasy bombed at the box-office that is mostly forgotten. A year later it's two stars went on to star in The Lost Boys, which became one of the most remembered movies of the decade. I loved this as a kid and watched it over and over, what would a new comer to the movie think though? James from King Street cinema gave it a watch and we had a chat about our thoughts. I also talk ab...

One I watched over and over as a child, possibly the most 80's movie of the 80's. I still watch it from time to time as a comfort movie. Will a new comer to the movie feel the same way or is it all just nostalgia..... pre-Oscar Helen Hunt and pre sexing her way through the city Sarah Jessica Parker groove their way out of school to escape to dance TV!!!

The 80s were without doubt the golden era of the teen comedy. As a kid this was one of my favourites. Although it borrows heavily from more remembered movies such as The Breakfast Club it does stand out to me as a unique film from the time. Directed by comedy legend Carl Reiner and starring some of the biggest names on T.V at the time it certainly had plenty of selling points.  I really enjoy...

This episode I focus on 80s teen drama 'The Legend of Billie Jean', a movie that i enjoyed as a teen and feel is forgotten. More than just a vehicle for Helen Slater after coming to the limelight in 'Supergirl' the year before, this has something to say as well as being more 80s than Mel Gibson's mullet.  The second movie I look at in depth is 'Freaked', considered a huge failure on release t...

One of my favourite sci-fi adventures of the 80's, now a minor cult classic but often looked upon as simply a Star Wars copy. With the early use of CGI, fantastic make up effects, a great cast and funny moments I do feel this movie is quite special but what do people who didn't grow up with it think? I showed it to Dave Kennington, who grow up in the same town as me and is also a huge movie fan, h...

Already a cult classic in the U.S one of my personal favourite comedies from the 1990's. My tribute to the late great Norm Macdonald Special guest James Rowe 

Hey Vern, As a child I caught this movie on tv and have been a fan of Jim Varney ever since.  Ernest became an iconic comedy character in the 1980's in the US but not very well known in the UK, This was his movie debut, the first of 9 films. I must have seen this 100 times over the last 30 or so years and still find it funny but what would a newcomer feel about it in 2022? Returning to the sh...

A special episode where I look back on two festive flops that I enjoyed on release. I've re-watched them and chat with people who haven't seen them before. (this is the first part of the seasonal special, part 2 will either be online very soon OR it will appear next December)

For the first episode is the second season I revisit one of cinema's greatest rip off movies, A fine 'tribute' to King Kong and Tarzan, this film is a real treat. One I watched far too young to fully appreciate but I enjoyed it for the action, I still enjoy it now  but for different reasons. What did new viewers think of it though? I also discuss my favourite Star Trek Movies and mention a fe...
